Lord of Arcane

Chapter 549
After Xia Duo expelled the Priest Cole from Rodney Territory, he had speculated that the series of behaviors of Rodney Territory might be inspired by a certain great arcanist.

If the mysterious organization is really the messenger behind the Rodney collar, then according to what Lord Hawke said, there is a great arcanist behind the mysterious organization, but the Rodney collar does not.

Looking at it this way, it seems that all the information has been strung together, but Xia Duo knows that even 100% true information may be misleading in many cases.

Not to mention that this is just one side of Lord Hawke's words.

"Lord Hawke, what you said shocked me." Xia Duo said while pretending to think hard:
"I need some time to confirm that perhaps the Rodney Territory and even the mysterious organization are our common enemy, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend. As far as friends are concerned, I will certainly not trap Aquiline again. Of course, before that, I can't let him go yet."

"What an 'enemy of an enemy is a friend'! With this sentence, I fully believe that we will become friends in the future!" Doleson was very generous, and his words also revealed full of kindness.

Combined with his good temperament and appearance, if Xia Duo hadn't been aware of the relationship and standpoint between the two parties, maybe he would have liked him. An elderly man and a senior arcanist acted so approachable in front of him. .

Now, Xia Duo, who was preconceived, took it for granted that there was a conspiracy.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether it's a conspiracy or not. What Xia Duo wants is to delay for some time and wait for the follow-up impact of the communication plan. Moreover, he will carefully consider the cause and effect of any decision he makes, and will not act hastily.

There is a saying in my hometown called "make a decision before acting". If the other party expects to release Aquiline with only this one-sided information, or even go straight to Rodney's collar or a mysterious organization, then Xia Duo can only Said that the other party underestimated him too much.

Afterwards, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, as if a senior was taking care of a junior.

It wasn't until near evening that Xia Duo left the Austrian Law Federation.

……

Back at Gilles Tower, Xia Duo was still thinking about the scene of meeting with Lord Hawke just now, there was no tension and confrontation as expected, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was amiable.

This is probably the "rules" that Master Greta said. It seems that Lord Hawke's current situation is really not good.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo contacted the Savile leader and told them to do some investigation first, but then felt that it was getting late, so he didn't contact Niya again and "identified" the spell book with her.

Instead, continue the measurement and statistics of spell energy consumption. As an arcanist, as long as you want to do it, you have plenty of things to do, and you don’t have to worry about nothing to do. This is because Xia Duo is away, and many researches cannot be carried out.

……

The next day, the snowmelt competition, which had been postponed for three days, finally continued.

The next thing to be done is the second project [Arcane Puzzle]. To be honest, Xia Duo is looking forward to this project more than any other project, not because [Arcane Puzzle] is from him, but because he is the last A project that can be understood is probably this.

[Spell Showdown] Unconstrained, if Xia Duo can touch the seventh layer of the magic net, it is of course a very exciting performance, but he is not, the duel he can see only involves the fifth level of the magic net, I have to say Very regrettable.

As for [Magnificent Illusion], it can even be said that there is no direct fight, the competition is illusion, which is purely the imagination and art of the competition. If Xia Duo participates, some scenes on the earth will be created, although it may not be the most beautiful on the field. Aberdeen, but sure to refresh everyone.

In his heart, [Magnificent Illusion] is the least anticipated project.

Apart from satisfying some curiosity, it actually doesn't do much for real magic research.

Only in [Arcane Puzzle], apart from directing the chess game, the contestants actually served more as assistants for the chess pieces, and the abilities of the chess pieces were determined in advance, and most of them still retained Xia Duo's original design.

This reduced the scope of the spell duel a lot, making it easier for Xia Duo to watch.

Therefore, Xia Duo called Niya early and came to the arena together. During the free time waiting for the start of the game, the two deduced the trend of the chess game with each other.

Of course, compared to the fact that the abilities of the pieces in the official competition are mostly around the 8th level, and the spellcasting ability of the contestants is limited to below the 5th level, Xia Duo and Niya's deduction is several grades lower.

It is probably through the ability to cast spells at the 1st level to facilitate or prevent a 3rd level far beyond the hit of a touch spell.

However, not long after the two started a game, Niya gave up her pieces and stopped playing, "The first strike advantage of the chess piece is too great, I think the attacked piece must be able to counterattack, otherwise the low-level spell can be used to attack the chess piece." It's too difficult to affect high-level spells, it's better to play a pure chess game!"

"If the chess pieces can counterattack, then the chess game itself is meaningless, it's better to directly engage in a magic duel!"

When Xia Duo originally designed the [Arcane Puzzle], his main consideration was to minimize the influence of the contestants' spellcasting and let the influence of chess power prevail.

In this way, Naise can gain a certain advantage with Xia Duo's training routines in advance.

"Since we don't want to deduce the arcane puzzle game, there is still some time before the game starts, let's play a pure chess game."

"Ah."

Pure chess game, or "projection game", although Niya's chess ability is not as good as Xia Duo, but she is more accepting of this form. She has realized that this form of game can achieve the effect of focused training.

……

Xia Duo and Niya, who were in the state of projecting the game, easily ignored the external situation. When they finished a game and were about to see how long the game would start, the two were surprised to find that there were a lot of chess games in the arena projection.

"Xia Duo, it seems that everyone likes chess very much!" Niya smiled and looked at Xia Duo, with a hint of playfulness in her tone.

Xia Duo is also very happy that the wisdom crystallization from his hometown can be recognized by Nether mages, and as chess spreads more and more widely, it is inevitable that he will bring a lot of "power of faith" to him.

Although he said that he didn't care whether the bloodline could be awakened again, but if he really awakened again, he would still shout "really fragrant".

Even, if there is a progress bar for the awakening of the bloodline, which allows him to clearly see how much "power of faith" is needed for the next awakening, he feels that he may take the initiative to make a name for himself.

Of course, compared to the traceable and rationale of magic, the awakening of the bloodline is still too ethereal.
