Lord of Arcane

Chapter 708 Departure from the Purple Sky
Three days later, in the residence of Taxiaduo of Time, in the magic laboratory.

Xia Duo picked up the spell book hovering in front of him, opened it and flipped through it casually, but quickly closed it again, shrunk and hung it on his waist.

Practice is just practice after all, no matter how many simulated scenes there are, there is still a gap between them and real encounters, especially the difference in mentality.

If you continue to practice, there will be no good results, after all, the marginal utility is diminishing!

Back in the outer room, Xia Duo put the few books scattered on the desk into the portable space, and then summoned the tower spirit to send him outside the Tower of Time.

After returning to Linshui Village, he returned to the Tower of Time and informed Niya that he was leaving.

There was almost no gap, and a familiar figure appeared in the teleportation room. He had short black hair, soft features, and a petite figure. It was Niya herself.

She stopped in front of Xia Duo as soon as she arrived, and the nervousness in her voice was very obvious, "Why are we leaving so soon? Isn't there still ten days before the end of the month? Prepare a few more days, What if it is used!"

"Uh--"

Xia Duo had some strange feelings in his heart, but it seemed to be quite useful, "Niya, this is just an ordinary trip, and you made me nervous."

"what?"

Niya was stunned, but quickly realized that she had lost her sense of normalcy and let her emotions take over, but this feeling was not bad, but Xia Duo pointed it out in person, and she felt her face was hot, so Quickly change the subject:
"How are you going to get there? Are you teleporting directly to Rodney's collar?"

"No, I'm planning to go to Severton first, then teleport to the territory near Rodney's territory, and then slowly fly over."

Even though he knew that this appearance was unlikely to be dangerous, Xia Duo still didn't want to put himself in a dangerous place. The Mage Tower was the last place he wanted to go to this kind of territory where the hostility had just been lifted.

If it was outside, even if the Grand Arcanist came in person, he would at least have a chance to escape, but if he was inside the mage, the road would be blocked directly.

This is something he absolutely wants to avoid.

After hearing Xia Duo's plan, Niya also felt that it was safer to do so, and did not make any other suggestions, but silently stepped aside.

……

Although it was not the first time to use the teleportation circle, Xia Duo couldn't help admiring it. From the southern border to Severton, it would take at least a month to get there if the wind and water were smooth.

But through the teleportation circle, it only takes a moment to travel a long distance from south to north, which is simply too efficient!
If Xia Duo teleports by himself, although it will be faster than taking a boat, but after multiple teleportations, positioning is very important. Unless you are so big that you don't care about fuzzy teleportation, otherwise it is safest and most convenient to take a fixed teleportation circle .

Having not been to Sevington for several months, Xia Duo not only regards this place as a transit point, but plans to inquire about the situation here first.

Purple Sky Tavern.

It is not the first time Xia Duo has come to the property under the name of Master Greta. He likes the environment here very much, where there is food, drink and quiet.

Of course, these can only be regarded as incidental attributes in the eyes of other mages. The real function here is to be able to squat to the Great Mage Greta. If you can get a relationship, it is much more important than eating and drinking.

As soon as he came in, as Xia Duo expected, it was almost half full. He came to the bar skillfully, ordered a cup of [Elf Dream] whose name was more important than the taste, and then sat down quietly.

Although Shadow is well-known in Severton and even the whole of Netheril, not many people have actually seen him and know what he looks like.

Therefore, even if he didn't cover up at all, even if his eyes crossed occasionally, these chess players in the tavern didn't realize that the creator of [Arcane Puzzle] was here.

This is what Xia Duo wanted. It is not a good thing to have a great reputation, and controversy will follow. In this real magic world, controversy is not just a matter of lip service, real people PK is not uncommon.

Soon [Elf's Dream] was adjusted and sent to Xia Duo. Looking at the changing colors of the wine in the glass, Xia Duo smiled slightly in his heart, picked up the glass and took a sip.

It is indeed a bit exaggerated.

It's not even as good as ordinary spirit fruit wine. It may be stronger in some functions, but in terms of taste, it has already lost by more than a notch.

However, the real purpose of Xia Duo coming here is not to drink, but to inquire about news. He put down his glass and said to the bartender opposite the bar:
"I just came from outside, tell me what happened in Sevington recently?"

"Guest, what aspect do you want to ask? If it's about magic, maybe I don't know as much as the guest!" The bartender said pointedly.

Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the bartender was also a spellcaster, but he hadn't come for a long time, so he ignored it.

"Then just talk about it! Big events, or interesting things, whatever."

"Since the guest wants to hear it, then I'll tell you. If you want to talk about the biggest thing recently, it should be the patent for a new type of communication spell announced by the Arcane Federation at the end of last month!"

"Oh? Tell me in detail!" As soon as he heard that it was related to the background communication of the magic net, Xia Duo immediately became interested.

Although he could get some information from Gilles High Tower through Niya, he also wanted to see how ordinary mages viewed the background communication of the magic net.

"This new type of communication spell is called [Magic Web Background Communication], and there is almost no distance limit. I heard that someone has successfully contacted Askor's dwarf friend, but this spell is as high as level 5, and the threshold for using it is very high. But I also heard that a simplified version has already come out, if the guest—”

Before the bartender could finish speaking, a guest sitting next to Xiaduo immediately interrupted the bartender, "Okay, Baker, stop promoting your simplified communication spells. Does this arcanist still want to sell you?" Buy spells from you?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xia Duo apologetically, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Xia Duo, Baker just accepted the sales promotion task from Gilles High Tower, and he has no malicious intentions."

Suddenly being recognized by someone, Xia Duo was really surprised. He didn't care about what he was selling. He glanced at the bartender who was getting nervous, and said to the strange mage next to him, "Don't worry, he said Well done! I don’t know what your name is?”

"Your Excellency Xia Duo is too polite, just call me Ace, white-eyed Ace, the foreign affairs mage of Gilles Tower."

Rolling eyes?

Xia Duo paid attention to Ace's eyes. Indeed, the left eye is completely white, which is very weird, but this is someone else's privacy. Although Xia Duo was a little strange, he did not continue to mention it.

However, although he didn't mention it, the action of paying attention fell into Ace's eyes, and Ace was quite calm about it, "An experiment mistake made this eye look like this, but fortunately, it just changed its appearance. , does not affect normal vision."

Of course, what Ace didn't say is that his white eye has dark vision in addition to normal vision, which is why it is called the white eye.

He was quite proud of a mistake that resulted in an unexpected benefit.
