Lord of Arcane

Chapter 685 The sudden appearance of Lord Rodney
The experiment went quite smoothly, except for conflicts caused by incompatibility with other structures of the spell book, there were no problems in the design logic.

This is consistent with Xia Duo's expectations. Basically, he has expected it from the beginning of the design. As for the conflict caused by incompatibility with other structures, it is actually not a big problem, as long as a few more experiments are run-in Just run in.

All in all, the test experiment was quite successful.

After packing up the traces of the experiment and some remaining materials, Xia Duo returned to his residence. At this time, if it wasn't for the reminder from his stomach, he would not have realized that it was night.

Work for yourself, don't get tired late at night.

Randomly found some food from the portable space to fill his stomach, and Xia Duo devoted himself to the analysis of today's test experiment.

It wasn't until all the compatibility issues that emerged in the experiment were resolved that he took out the spell notes that recorded the petrification magic in the morning and started to study it.

The spell book is indeed very important, but it is not suitable to continue the experiment tonight. He must maintain a good condition to deal with various accidents.

……

Just when Xia Duo was excited about a new spell such as petrification, and even a new field, and invested in it, at the temporary supply point in the east of Savile's collar and further east, Rodney led the newly opened in the Green Pearl Forest. on the territory.

Archmage Newman pinched a book in his hand tightly, so hard that his hands began to tremble unconsciously.

As a respected archmage, Newman naturally didn't need to compete with a tome, but the content on it really made him lose control of his emotions:

"How long has it been? You told me that the amount of grain that can be eaten for a year is less than three days? How did you become a grain supervisor?!"

Opposite the angry archmage, a shrewd looking middle-aged man was looking at the archmage eagerly at this moment, and said aggrievedly: "My lord, I did everything according to your orders, and it's all because those elves consume too much food." Already!"

"Elf?" Newman thought that some time ago, he had indeed written a document on whether to accept elf refugees.

If he hadn't been reminded again, Newman would have almost forgotten about it. He didn't want to be an archmage for the rest of his life, so whenever he had time, he would stay in his room and study magic.

Anyway, the lord didn't want him to come here to do any work himself.

Existence is what he is here for.

If he could supervise the work of the subordinates by the way, it would be regarded as his extraordinary work.

"What's wrong with the elves? Aren't they just a bunch of refugees? Don't they dare to snatch our food?" Newman stared at the food supervisor in front of him, trying to see what reason he could come up with!

"grown ups--"

The food supervisor had a bitter face, almost crying, "Those elves consume food, which is more terrible than robbery. If it is not really helpless, I dare not bother you, sir!"

When it came to disturbing, Newman's already cold face cooled down again, "Tell me what's going on!"

He has already realized that there may be a problem with the frontier, but Newman is an archmage after all, and he is not worried about how harshly he will be punished, but it is always a bit disgraceful to say it.

"My lord, there are quite a few mages among those elves. They all know a strange cooking spell, which can directly convert grain into food, but the loss is too serious. I asked them to reason, and they blamed us for the poor food!"

"..."

Hearing this, Newman wanted to kill the food supervisor in front of him, "What did you do when this happened? Why didn't you notify me in advance?"

"me--"

The food supervisor hesitated, and Newman figured it out when he thought about it. He had indeed asked his subordinates not to disturb him casually, but he never expected that this guy would come here only at this time.

When this happens, even if he is a great mage, can he still conjure food out of thin air?
As for the matter of using the teleportation technique to return to Rodney to receive a dimensional bag to transport food, Newman never thought about it. He would rather accept the punishment of the lord and give up here and go back alone, rather than do this kind of thing that is no different from a coolie. .

Furthermore, even if he is willing, he can't transport much by himself. If the fundamental problem is not solved, will he have to transport food exclusively in the future?
"you--"

Newman's face suddenly returned to calm, and the change was rapid, as if the person who was angry just now was not him, "I will deal with this matter, you go out first, and do your own thing."

The food supervisor was a little confused by this incident, but he was too big to think that this matter was over so easily. He looked at Newman with some pity, "My lord——"

But the answer to him was "Get out!" without any emotion.

The superintendent's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person or even an ordinary mage who could let him bargain, but an archmage who he would never even see and possessed powerful power.

At that moment, he didn't dare to say anything more, and walked backwards out of the room with his head lowered in fear.

After the food supervisor left, Newman suddenly changed his expression again, becoming a little cautious, even a little panicked. The emotions that appeared on the food supervisor just now appeared on a great mage again.

He bowed slightly to an open space in the room, "My lord, why are you here?"

In the open space, a handsome and tall figure suddenly appeared. He glanced at Newman, walked to a chair in the room and sat down, said with a smile:

"I'll come and see again, the people of Rodney are about to starve to death!"

"My lord, it's my fault!"

"I don't blame you, no one would have thought that there would be so many elf refugees pouring into the territory of Nether." Ozkar Rodney was very open-minded, and it was impossible for him to really punish an important person. Archmage.

"My lord, this time - is there any solution?"

Newman had no doubt that the lord of the Rodney Territory in the north would be ignorant of the situation here. However, when he asked this question, Lord Ozkar sighed:
"What solution can I have? Do I have to go back to transport food myself? I just came here to negotiate peace with Savile, and buy some food from them by the way. Before I came, the fleet that came to transport the people from the territory had already set off. Just hold on for a while longer."

"grown ups?!"

Newman was full of surprise. Hearing what the lord said, it seemed that he wanted to give up the land that he had invested a lot in. Even though Newman didn't usually take care of things, he still had some feelings for the land he personally led to develop.

And what made him even more puzzled was that opening up a new land in the Green Pearl Forest was an important decision that Rodney had planned for a long time.
