Lord of Arcane

Chapter 713 Betrayal of the Name
After a moment of silence, Xia Duo gradually came out of the serious dissatisfaction in his heart. The matter had come to this point, and he couldn't help him to make other choices.

Looking at Ozkaz with a calm face on the opposite side, Xia Duo suddenly smiled, and asked in a flat tone: "What do you want me to do?"

Ozkar didn't seem to have expected that Xia Duo would accept the reality so quickly, which didn't seem like a young man's reaction, but he still gave Xia Duo's reaction a look of approval:

"Lord Xia Duo, you made the right choice, don't worry, I guarantee you will survive 100%."

Haha, for a teammate who was still in a hostile relationship not long ago, Xia Duo can't rest assured. Compared with Ozkar, he would rather trust Greta who tricked him over.

But Greta can't believe it all. What Xia Duo really believes in is himself. He believes that if he is fully prepared, he can stand up even against the great arcanist.

"Lord Rodney, let's talk about the mission. How was he assassinated? If I don't know anything, I'd rather face the wrath of Her Majesty the Princess!"

"This is the young man!"

Lord Rodney smiled, then with a solemn expression, he began to introduce seriously, "I don't know how much information you know about the Rodney collar, but what I want to tell you is that the current Rodney collar is no longer here. I'm under control now.

"From the time they see you and confirm your identity, you may face assassination at any time, even in this hall. If it is an assassination by ordinary people, then I want to congratulate you, this mission is really easy Incomparable Rodney collar tour!

"If it's an assassination by a spellcaster, I'm pretty sure I can stop the opponent before the assassination comes. The most dangerous thing is the assassination with the help of unknown magic items. This kind of uncertainty, even if I am a senior arcanist, it is difficult to stop it absolutely. , you have to understand this!"

"I see!"

"That's good. In order to prevent them from giving up the assassination, I will not bless you with any protective magic, but I will provide you with a few protective magic items. I hope you can survive!"

"Who are they?"

Xia Duo finally asked the most critical question. Before Greta came, he said directly that Lord Rodney voted for the Seven Towers Group because he offended a great arcanist. As for who and why, Greta didn't say anything.

And now, Ozkar told him that the Rodney collar was no longer under his control, and why, Xia Duo couldn't figure out the key to it for a while.

But the person involved is right in front of him, it would be foolish not to ask.

Facing Xia Duo's inquiry, Ozkar's face for the first time showed real emotions different from the joy and enthusiasm that were pretended when the two met before.

Anger and fear are so real that they can even infect Xia Duo, which makes Xia Duo moved.

For a senior arcanist to express such real anger and fear, it is self-evident what "they" refer to—

An alternative existence that is different from the normal grand arcanist, at least in terms of obeying the unspoken rules, that existence is very unqualified!
For a moment, Xia Duo flinched a little. The weak who don't obey the rules can be killed directly. If the strong are the ones who don't obey the rules, it will be uncomfortable!
But at the same time, Xia Duo also realized that it was fine if that existence was not exposed. Once exposed, it would definitely be rejected by the mainstream, or even destroyed, depending on the severity.

Maybe I am now standing in the upper hand of the mainstream.

At this moment, Ozkar also said the answer that made him a little hard to say, "They are my former subordinates, subjects, and my former friends! Of course, there are also people who came from there!"

So it turned out to be this kind of overhead method!
Xia Duo couldn't help wondering what kind of existence possessed such great power, even subordinates, subjects, and friends would betray him!
From what Ozkar said, it seems that most of them have betrayed. This is not something that can be done by pure force. There must be some factors that he has not yet understood.

Maybe it's some kind of control magic, maybe it's a kind of brainwashing education of ideas, beliefs, or beliefs, it's even possible to replace people, maybe it's a combination of multiple methods.

Xia Duo has read a lot of novels, movies, and TV dramas, which may not be true, but at least they can provide a lot of feasible ideas.

As for which one it is, perhaps even Ozkar may not know it, and of course he may not say it if he knows it.

"Who is behind them?" Xia Duo asked in a deep voice.

It is impossible for Ozkar not to answer this question, and if he does not know the answer to this question, Xia Duo will not be able to sleep peacefully.

"I can't tell his name, I can't even reveal anything related to him, the only thing I can tell you is - he was recently targeted by the one from the gray-white spiral tower!

"If you know something about the recent situation in Netheril, then you know who I'm talking about. If you don't know, I advise you not to guess. I don't care if you commit suicide, but don't harm I!"

Ozkar's secretive look made Xia Duo feel a bit chilly. In fact, when Ozkar mentioned the gray and white spiral tower, a name appeared in Xia Duo's mind.

The most frightening thing is that he mentioned this name himself not long ago, and even asked Nya to inquire about that person's situation. If this name really has some kind of taboo, then——

It's really killing me!
"Lord Rodney, I probably know who it is! I wonder why he can't say his name?"

"It's not that you can't say it, but if you say it, he will know, and even directly see what happened here." Ozkar's face was gloomy, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.

This kind of existence?

Xia Duo immediately thought of the longevity ceremony that he had seen in the mysterious temple underground in the Severton Temple area. According to Greta, the Archmage Sandro would have an extraordinary perception ability after the ceremony.

As long as others mention his name, he will perceive it.

Could it be that the person in the Wisdom Tower also performed the longevity ritual?Or some kind of special scrying spell?
What the truth is, probably only that person knows.

For a moment, Xia Duo's thoughts flew far, far away. He knew that maybe his name had already been placed on that desk, and it was really bad luck!

……

On the other side, Rodney leads the town hall in Nanta Town.

Larry sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression, watching the flickering looks of the people below, the impatience in his eyes finally accumulated to the extreme, he walked straight to a gray-robed mage, and asked coldly:
"When will the discussion last? Isn't the master's order not easy to use?"

The gray-robed mage in front of him seemed to be captured by Larry's power, and turned his head to avoid Larry's sight, but his move angered Larry even more.

Larry was about to reprimand when a middle-aged mage sitting next to him suddenly said, "Enough, Larry, the master told us to obey your orders, but the master didn't ask us to obey your orders to cause trouble! That Xia Duo Don't you know who the lord is? Why do you want to cause trouble for the lord?"

"NO, I have not!"

Larry retorted subconsciously, but he quickly realized that he was the biggest here. Even if the other party was an archmage that he had to look up to, he still hadn't become a subordinate of a small low-level mage like himself!

The master is the greatest!
