Lord of Arcane

Chapter 57
Xia Duo immediately thought of the Chamber of Commerce that Old Neil wanted to enslave him. Isn't it called the Plantage Chamber of Commerce!So he asked, "What happened after that?"

"Later, the person in charge was changed, and all the armed forces were immediately handed over to the lord, and more than 100 orc slaves were sent. It was a hemorrhage."

Xia Duo could hear the schadenfreude in Dewan's tone. Obviously, in Dewan's heart, the image of the Plantage Chamber of Commerce was quite negative.

No more inquiries about the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, the three agreed on a meeting time the next day, and Sammy and Dewan left each other.

……

At night, Xia Duo plans to poison the arrows of the hand crossbow, and the new dagger also needs to be poisoned to increase its power.

The ten arrows Xia Duo had already seen, they should all belong to the high-quality military supplies, even in Broto's blacksmith shop, they are not bad.

Of course, compared to modern technology, such arrows are still a bit rough, and this is also a basis for poisoning.

Turning the wick of the oil lamp to make the fire a little bigger, Xia Duo directly used the oil lamp to quench the poison, and slowly moved the arrow soaked in the paralyzing poison close to the flame, but did not touch it directly.

Let the venom evaporate slowly, leaving a layer of something similar to a coating on the arrow, and it is not enough once. In order to make the retention effect of the poison better, this operation needs to be repeated many times.

This is quite a test of one's patience.

In addition, the steam evaporated from the venom is still poisonous. Every time Xia Duo is poisoned, he has to wash the wet cloth that covers his nose. Even so, Xia Duo still feels a little dazed, and his hands and feet are a little inflexible.

Fortunately, this time it was a non-lethal poison, and Xado asked Edrich when he bought it. Even if he drank a bottle, it wouldn't kill him directly. It would just paralyze his whole body, and he couldn't even blink or breathe.

Of course, if you hold your breath long enough, you can recover when the medicine wears off.

In this way, 10 arrows kept Xia Duo busy until late at night, because Taling couldn't tell the time outside, Xia Duo guessed that it was late, so he did not continue to poison the dagger.

First, he has already inhaled a lot of poisonous steam. Second, if he doesn't take a good rest, it is estimated that he will not be able to enter the state of concentration if he wants to contact the spell tomorrow.

If it is said that a mage forgets to eat while doing research, some people may believe it, but if it is said that a mage forgets to sleep while doing research, almost no one will believe it.

Rest is not good to affect the casting state, which is absolutely intolerable for the mage.

Even, for this reason, the mages also created a lot of spells specially used to ensure sleep, such as hiding in different spaces, or summoning hidden dwellings and so on.

The Biography of Archmage Dasriel, which Shado likes to read, records that Dasriel once created a spell to summon an invisible villa, which is called [Dathriel's Invisible Villa].

This made Xia Duo extremely envious, dreaming that one day he would be able to summon a luxury villa with a wave of his hand. If this was put on earth, even the money for buying a house would be saved.

Before going to bed, Xia Duo deliberately checked the secret mark on the dagger, and it still existed steadily, but the mark on the palm of his left hand had changed.

The cyclic state of the spell structure that should have been stable is gradually disintegrating, and it may disappear completely in a dozen or 20 days.

Xia Duo felt that this should be because the human body itself disturbed the magic net, and the mark left on the human body would also be disturbed. Based on this, it is speculated that the [Secret Magic Mark] applied to any life cannot be permanently preserved.

This makes Shado feel that the [Magic Stabilization Technique] is more clever, because the [Magic Stabilization Technique] can stabilize the magic effect on people.

In the end, Xia Duo reviewed everything that happened today, summed up the gains and losses, and then went to bed with his clothes.

……

The Mage's Tower, the reception room of Lord Epps Savile.

A meeting of only four people is quietly going on here, and the lord and his three followers are negotiating some details of how to deal with the orc influx.

"Belgart, how did you go about that?"

Belgart immediately replied respectfully, "Lord Lord, it has been completed, you can activate the link at any time."

"Okay!" Epps asked with a long-lost smile on his face, "How are the orcs doing?"

"Some orcs have come down the mountain."

Lord Epps looked at the table with his fingers and said, "Wait."

"Epps, if you wait any longer, will the power of the territory be lost too much? And isn't there Lord Oron?"

The one who spoke was the one who ignited the apprentice's emotions in the mage tower during the day. He was also one of the lord's followers, but Abel and Lord Epps grew up together and had a very deep relationship. You can call him by his first name.

Of course, Eberk's 10th-level spellcasting level also gave him enough confidence, and compared to Epps, who failed as an advanced arcanist, Eberk has firmly walked on the path of an arcanist. .

"Alboke, and Belgart, Keyan, I should have told you about this three days ago, but I forgot because I was busy preparing that thing."

The expression on Lord Epps' face was quite complicated. Thinking about it now, he might have been influenced by Archmage Oron, and then he said a rather surprising news——

"The great arcanist I contacted before did not reply to me at all, and the master of Oron was not sent by that adult at all. He took the initiative to ask for support, although it came through the channel of the Austrian Federation. , but to be honest I don't fully trust him."

"what!"

The three followers made a surprised voice. They always thought that Archmage Oron was sent to support by the same sect of the first-generation lord, Great Arcanist Xavier, but they didn't expect it!
If you think about it, it is understandable. If the Great Arcanist was so easy to persuade, the old lord would not have been injured by the orc wave and died.

The territory's military director Ke Yan asked, "Lord Lord, do you know what the purpose of Lord Oron is?"

"I don't know, it's just because I don't know that it's troublesome. Don't tell the outside world about this matter. Master Olong is the aid sent by that lord."

"Yes!"

"Also!" Lord Epps looked at his military supervisor, "The time for the decisive battle is approaching, the training of the main force can be slowed down a little, and the training of the chamber of commerce and adventurers cannot be stopped."

"Yes!"

"Alboke, the apprenticeship will be handed over to you. It's just some finishing work. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Mage apprentices shouldn't be spent here. When I'm not here, you have to keep an eye on it."

"Don't worry, Epps, how many times have you said it." Aberk was a little impatient, but his face suddenly turned positive, "By the way, are you really going to let Nia go to the battlefield?"

Mentioning Nya, Lord Epps showed a struggle on his face, but it was replaced by firmness almost instantly, "My daughter can't stay in the mage tower forever, she must take her due responsibilities. , there is not a single weakling in the Savile family."
