Lord of Arcane

Chapter 568 Printing the map supply is blocked
The interior of the captain of the "Lucky Irwin".

Xia Duo had just finished drawing a map, when there was a knock on the door behind him, and he put the map away, Xia Duo got up and stretched, and then said, "Come in!"

It was Captain Owen who came, and he seemed a little surprised to see Xia Duo get up, "My lord, the fleet is about to stop for a rest. Do you need to disembark for some activities, sir? We will leave the mainland next, and we won't be able to get out of here until Saville leads us." Will encounter other territories again."

"Huh! So fast?!" Xia Duo had already taken a rough look at the mainland two days ago. He has been drawing and sorting out maps for the past two days. He didn't cast scouting spells anymore, and he somewhat ignored the fleet's voyage.

If there are no other territories going south from here to Savile Territory, then this is——

Rodney collar? !
Almost at the same time, a lot of information about Rodney's collar suddenly popped out of Xia Duo's mind——

The first generation of lords was born in Kieran High Tower. They went out independently a long time ago and opened up the Rodney Territory. At that time, the Rodney Territory was also like the Savile Territory, far away from the core area of ​​Nether. Rodney's collar is connected to the core area of ​​Nether.

The contemporary Rodney lord is named "Ozcal", and his reputation in the Savile Territory even exceeds that of the Grand Arcanist. He is said to be the "Ram of the North", and he plays with his life to give birth to children.

Priest Cole, who had been to the Great Xia Territory and wanted to be the chief advisor of Shadow, was from the Rodney Territory. After that, Archmage Newman forcibly opened up the Green Pearl Forest under the instruction of Lord Rodney.

And Xia Duo, who had already regarded the Green Pearl Forest as his own, was hindered by the princess's pioneering movement, and could not oppose and destroy it openly, so Liang Zi was settled.

In addition, according to the information provided by Lord Hawke, Rodney Territory is also connected with a mysterious organization that wreaks havoc in Savile Territory.

It's just that Xia Duo himself knows these things, but the presidents of those chambers of commerce don't know, and Captain Owen doesn't know either. Resting in Rodney's collar is really not in line with Xia Duo's wishes.

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "After docking, replenish some food and set off immediately, don't rest here."

The so-called rest, in addition to people going ashore to rest and replenishing food, in fact, the most important thing is to check the status of the ship. It may need repairs or maintenance. It is more convenient to have a port.

But if not, it can be overhauled and maintained wherever it is parked, especially with the Arcanist Xia Duo on board, so tools and materials are available on board.

A total of six ships, if not for loading materials, tools, and food, could transport hundreds more people.

……

After Captain Owen left, Xia Duo continued to draw the map. He first projected a bird's-eye view, then cut and simplified it, then performed some abstract processing, and finally communicated and projected, using the [Transcription Technique] on the ink.

During the maintenance period, Xia Duo prepared multiple sheets of parchment and spread them on the table, scanning and printing from top to bottom like laser engraving.

Soon, an identical simplified map appeared on each parchment.

That's it, the two bottles of ink are gone, and if you want to "print" more, you need to add more ink when casting the spell, but Xia Duo doesn't need too many backups.

The main reason is that he felt that it was a bit wasteful to only "print" one copy of a spell, so he printed a few more copies, and this was only a map of a part of the area.

It can be used alone, but Xia Duo's purpose is not just that, he wants to make a relatively complete map of Netherland that covers many areas.

……

After a while, the ship stopped, and Xia Duo stopped drawing, but summoned other ships, telling them to stay vigilant, replenish as soon as possible, and then leave.

After that, Xia Duo cast the detection spell again to check the situation outside, always on guard against Rodney.

At this time, he felt the feeling of the Archmage Newman in Savile, and he didn't think about anything, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Rodney Territory also has a mage tower erected by the river, which is similar to Savile Territory, and the most important thing is that Rodney Territory has more than one mage tower, and there is a mage tower similar to this one by the river. not far away.

It gave Xia Duo the feeling that someone had pressed a dagger against his back, which was very unpleasant.

However, due to his understanding of most of the functions of the Tower of Time, Xia Duo was more vigilant than afraid of the two mage towers led by Rodney.

As long as you don't get close to them, running is fine.

After observing for a while, Xia Duo found nothing abnormal for the time being, and was about to check the warning magic on the ship again, when he found Captain Owen's nephew, the first mate Ruth on the "Owen", suddenly ran towards the pier.

"There are no pursuers behind?"

Confused, Russ had already run back to the boat. Judging by his posture, he came straight to the captain's cabin. Xia Duo temporarily stopped the detection spell, and when he opened the door, he heard Russ screaming:

"Sir, it's not good!"

Xia Duo first checked Ruth's body calmly for signs of magic, and then calmly asked, "What's going on, please speak slowly!"

"My lord, all the shops in Rodney's collar do not sell food to us!"

"Ok?"

Xia Duo frowned, that's it?It's too low-level, even if they can't buy supplies, can't they go back to the previous territory to buy them?

Subconsciously, he felt that there was a conspiracy, so he asked, "How much food is there on board? Is it enough to go back to Savile?"

"It will take at least one month of sailing, plus what your lord said before, we will stay in Lake Mecht for a period of time. Even if we fish on the road, the food on board may not be enough for us to return to Savile Territory." Russ replied.

"Then why are there no supplies in the last territory?"

"Rodney Territory is the southernmost territory in the mainland. Most of the ships going to the southern border are resupplied here. Resupply once when leaving, and resupply when returning."

"..."

Xia Duo was speechless. It seemed that Owen and the others really didn't know the subtle relationship between Rodney Land and Savile Land, "Go and inform the people who landed to come back, and then notify other ships. We will go back to the last territory for supplies. Denis stopped."

Ruth responded, turned and left.

And Xia Duo still stood at the door, thinking constantly in his heart, although Rodney collar is only providing supplies now, will he intercept Daxia collar's ship in the future?
Lord Rodney made such a decision based on what kind of mentality, isn't he afraid that he will do the same thing in Port Savile? Archmage Newman has not yet opened up a self-sufficient territory in the Green Pearl Forest!
Even if the development is successful, it is not difficult to make things happen.

Why is it?

Until the fleet turned around and started heading north, Xia Duo was still thinking about this question. He really couldn't figure it out. What else could this kind of painless trick do besides disgusting people?
Or, is this some kind of precursor?
Is the mysterious organization about to take action again?
