Lord of Arcane

Chapter 675 Accident petrochemical
Early the next morning, Mayor Sean and business director Derrick came to the Tower of Time together to discuss how to manage elf refugees. On the Tower of Time, only Niya, Xia Duo, Eberke, and Depak participated.

During the negotiation process, Xia Duo suddenly received a notice from Leiden from the territory through the [Communication Scroll - Level 3 Event]. Leiden could not transmit specific information through the communication scroll, but could only transmit it through different scrolls preset by Xia Duo Information about the severity of the event.

A level 3 event is the minimum condition for using a communication scroll. Although it is not the most important, it is also of considerable importance.

At this moment, Xia Duo couldn't sit still anymore, and said to everyone: "Something happened in Linshui Village, I have to go back."

The others naturally had no objections, Xia Duo said so, who would force him to stay, but Niya asked with concern, "What happened, do you want us to go there together?"

"No, I can handle it! You can continue to discuss, I suggest that you can ask Orepus Silver Leaf to ask, maybe he can come up with some more suitable suggestions, after all, the one who knows the elves best is the elves themselves!"

Niya was thoughtful and wanted to ask again, but Xia Duo couldn't wait to leave first.

……

Coming out of the Tower of Time is the ruins of the Mystic, and now the magic net environment here has been continuously repaired by the Arcanist "volunteers" for nearly a year, and it is no longer in the original riot state.

Although it is not peaceful yet, for Xia Duo, the impact has been minimal. He can easily smooth the fluctuations of the magic net around him and eliminate the random spells triggered by his arrival.

Flying in the air, he glanced at the seven or eight temporary residences with clear boundaries below, silently estimating how long it would be before the magic net environment here was completely restored.

But soon, he let go of his thoughts again, because Linshui Village arrived, more precisely, the altar square of Linshui Village arrived.

Today's Great Xia Territory has sufficient personnel, and the front line has already passed the ruins of Misuo. In other words, the ruins are in the Great Xia Territory, within the scope of Linshui Village.

The Tower of Time also stands on the boundary of Linshui Village.

As if knowing that the lord was about to return, Layton stood at the altar of the Lord of Glory in the center of the altar square. After Xia Duo fell from the sky, Layton immediately stepped forward to salute: "My lord!"

"Don't be too polite, let's talk about it first!"

Xia Duo knew that Laiden was not a person who didn't know the importance, and he must have made a judgment before choosing to contact him. Therefore, as soon as he came back, Xia Duo asked about that matter and wanted to deal with it as much as possible.

"My lord, it's like this. In the morning, Clark came to report that the development department found a crypt in the forest, and there were painful wailing sounds from it. Because the crypt was not far from the front line of development, I asked Simon to take him with him." His people went to investigate the reason, and it turned out—”

Having said that, Layton showed a complicated expression, as if he didn't know how to describe it, "I found Polk there!"

"Pork?!"

Xia Duo immediately interrupted Layton's narration, he remembered that Polk should be exploring the ruins with Jabas!Could it be that the crypt mentioned by Layton is the entrance to the troll's lair that may contain relics?

Recalling the scene I just saw in the sky, the front line of development seems to have been pushed there!

"Are you sure it's Polk? What happened to him?"

"My lord, it's definitely Pork, it's just him, his legs have turned into stone somehow, which prevents him from climbing up from that crypt, and he keeps screaming and can't ask any answers at all, I'm afraid There may be some changes there, so I notified my lord."

petrochemical?

Xia Duo's first reaction was that the ruins really existed, and then he realized that Jabbas with Polk was probably in trouble, so he asked again:

"What about Pork? Where is he now? And Jabas? No news from him?"

"My lord, Pork has been screaming and wailing. I comforted him and put him to sleep. He was in the barracks. As for Jabbas, Simon didn't find him. He might still be under that crypt, but since it might involve magic, I Simon was not allowed to continue searching."

"Let's go and see Polk first!"

After saying that, Xia Duo walked towards the barracks, and Leiden immediately followed after he responded.

……

The Linshui Village military camp initially had only a few simple tents, but later, as the number of people in the territory and the number of soldiers continued to increase, some long-term-used barracks, training grounds and other infrastructure were built here.

But when Xia Duo came this time, he found another tent erected in a corner of the barracks. Layton told him that it was temporarily built for Polk, and the soldiers were somewhat repulsed by letting Polk live in the barracks.

Xia Duo didn't say much about this. He could understand the thinking of these soldiers. Even though magic is not uncommon in this world, for ordinary people without magic ability, unknown and dangerous magic can still be avoided.

Entering the camp, there was a soothing smell of incense inside. If Xia Duo remembered correctly, this incense should be given to Layton by him. It can soothe the spirit and is very suitable for spellcasters. I didn't expect Layton to be willing to use it. used here.

There was only a simple wooden bed in the tent, which was more like a plank than a bed. Polk lay on it and fell asleep peacefully. However, it should be true that Layton said that he would cry out in pain when he woke up. of.

Even when he was asleep, Polk's face still twitched from time to time, as if he was enduring some unknown pain.

And on Polk's lower body, from the thighs down, no matter the clothes or the exposed skin at the ankles, they all turned into a gray stone appearance.

Seeing this, Xia Duo took out a fine gold knife from his portable space, squatted down, and tapped lightly on the suspected petrified part of Polk's body with the back of the knife.

When the knife touched Polk, there was a clear and clear sound. If it was still a flesh and blood body, it shouldn't be like this. It seems that it is indeed petrified.

If not petrified, at least hardened.

What surprised Xia Duo most was that the petrified dividing line on Polk's pants was obviously made of different substances, but they were still connected together. Presumably, the flesh and blood inside were also connected to the petrified part in this way.

Perhaps this is the source of Polk's pain.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Duo didn't try anything on Polk in the end. If possible, he still hoped to help Polk as much as possible. After all, he only had two men with experience in relic exploration.

One is Polk, and the other is Jabas, who is still alive and dead.

"Lighton, wake up Polk, I want to ask him some questions."

Xia Duo thought that since he could howl and scream, he should be able to answer the question, but the pain would make Polk unable to concentrate, but with the existence of psychic spells, he didn't need to concentrate, as long as he could subconsciously answer the question. .

It is not easy to soothe the painful Pork to sleep, but it is very simple to wake him up. Layton just pulled away the magical effect he had originally applied to Pork, and Pork woke up immediately, and issued a Howls of pain.

Xia Duo was about to cast a spell, but Polk's performance surprised him, and the spell casting action also paused.

"My lord, I beg you—save—help me Jabas father, he—he is still—in the ruins!"

Polk gritted his teeth and said almost word for word, Xia Duo even faintly saw a trace of blood from his mouth, which really changed Xia Duo's view of Polk.
