Lord of Arcane

Chapter 715
As soon as he walked out of the reception hall, Xia Duo felt that he was surrounded by a strong sound wave, and the outside seemed to be full of people.

And at this moment, a man who looked like a butler ran over to greet him. It was Larry whom Xia Duo had met not long ago. At this time, he almost completely forgot the experience of being beaten just now, and he still did it respectfully. A gift:
"Master, the welcome ceremony is ready, please move to the South Tower Square with the guests!"

Hearing this, Xia Duo couldn't help but glanced at Ozkar, and it turned out to be exactly as he expected, those people chose the place of assassination to be the South Tower Square.

Of course, it may also be on the way to the South Tower Square, Xia Duo will not relax in the slightest.

"it is good!"

At this time, Ozkar regained the enthusiasm he had when they first met, and stretched out his hand to Xia Duo, "Lord Xia Duo, please!"

Of course, this is not to go hand in hand, but to invite Xia Duo to go hand in hand, and at this time, Xia Duo has personally experienced what the welcome ceremony in the mainland is like——

There were cheering crowds standing on both sides of the road, and the side of the road closest to them was full of young girls, holding flower baskets in their hands. Whenever Xia Duo and Ozkar passed by, they would throw flower petals a few seconds in advance to cheer them up. Pave a road of petals.

Now that it has entered the late autumn season, without magic, it is almost impossible to achieve such a scene. Even with magic, it is not a small cost to create so many petals in a short period of time.

Of course, the other side of etiquette can also be understood as a display of strength.

But for Xia Duo who is always vigilant, these petals are undoubtedly a trouble. Who knows if an assassin or magic will suddenly emerge from these petals, this is not impossible in the magic world.

The bloodline ability [Qi Control] can play its due role at this time, Xia Duo always controls the airspace within three feet of his body.

And within a foot, any petals that enter this range will quickly lose their lateral speed, as if they hit an invisible barrier.

Ozkar saw the changes around Xia Duo, but didn't show it. He just secretly reminded: "Be careful of the band behind you!"

"band?"

Xia Duo was startled, and almost subconsciously turned around to look back, but he still held back. Doesn't turning around at this time mean that he already knew that there was an assassination?

This may cause the other party to change the plan, or even give up the plan, which is inconsistent with his "assassinated" mission.

Xia Duo only communicated with the 0-ring [Communication Technique] with weak aura fluctuations, and quickly exchanged some information:
"Lord Rodney, is there a problem with the band?"

"The sound of the organ can't keep up with the rhythm of other instruments, maybe the organ player has changed!"

"..."

Xia Duo listened carefully, but he didn't hear anything wrong with the sound of the organ, so much so that he couldn't even distinguish the sound of the organ.

However, he still agrees with Ozkar's judgment. After all, in terms of familiarity with the band, Ozkar, the lord, must be more familiar.

Furthermore, it is better to believe what is there than to believe what is not, especially when it comes to matters related to his own life, Xia Duo cautiously cast more attention behind him.

……

The distance from Ozkar's Linshui Manor to the South Tower Square is not too far, but during the ceremony, the speed cannot be increased even if one wants to.

In other words, Xia Duo would rather encounter an assassination on this road than step into the assassination scene that may have been arranged by them.

Of course, it is possible that the assassination scene was arranged on the way to Nanta Plaza.

Ozkar speculated that those people would probably use magic items to carry out the assassination. After all, it would be impossible to assassinate another arcanist in front of a senior arcanist without any special abilities.

Along the way, Xia Duo paid attention not only to the people he listed as suspects, but also to the magical auras that might appear on both sides of the road.

This is unavoidable. Even if the magic item itself has its aura hidden, it will still arouse the magic aura at the moment of use.

This is like trying to attack an underwater target. Even if the bullet is invisible, it will still show its body shape because the refractive index of the water around the bullet changes when it penetrates the water.

In this world, the magic net is almost everywhere, and it is almost impossible to attack around the magic net.

Even if an arcanist launches his own arcane fire and attacks through his own miniature magic net, it will still arouse the reaction of the outside magic net environment.

Unless it is a purely physical attack such as cutting with a knife or shooting an arrow, but this level of assassination may be feasible for an ordinary person, but it is impossible for an arcanist.

Seeing that he was about to enter the South Tower Square, Xia Duo's heart was almost in his throat. Up to now, he has not found any useful clues, which is worrying.

In this case, he had to pay more attention to the band behind him again.

Although his back was facing the band and he couldn't see the aura of magic, Xia Duo's perception of the magic net was not weakened much. If he wanted to assassinate him only by sneak attacking from behind, it would be an insult to the spellcaster.

Where is the assassin hiding?
……

At this moment, the music suddenly stopped, and Xia Duo and Ozkar stepped into the South Tower Square almost at the same time. There were not many people in the square, but a handful of them were particularly conspicuous.

There were all spellcasters there, and their identities were somewhat special. Ozkar immediately left Xia Duo, walked over quickly, and reprimanded in a bad tone:
"Is there nothing to do? What are you doing here?"

At the same time, Coles, who was among the ordinary people in the square, suddenly heard a voice in his consciousness, "My lord, the target has been confirmed, do you want to do it now?"

"Wait a little longer, wait there first—no, do it, do it right away!"

After seeing those spellcasters all fell to the ground under Ozkar's order, Coles immediately realized that the situation had changed.

Originally, the correct way was to give up the action, but it was too late, Larry had already taken out a magic scroll covered with silver lines, and was about to activate it.

Seeing this scene, Coles wanted to die, how could the master let such an idiot become his leader!

Before the action, he saw with his own eyes that Larry handed over the magic scroll to one of Ozkar's sons, but he didn't expect Larry to take the scroll back. He was so stupid.

But now that Larry has shown signs of doing something, Coles can't cooperate with him. Now he is betting on whether Ozkar has the courage to turn against his master.

If the bet is won, everything will be the same, and even Ozkar will no longer have the mentality to resist; if the bet is lost, the consequences will not be bearable by them.

No matter what happens on Ozkar's side, as long as the assassination is confirmed, Ozkar can't get rid of it. Even if they win the bet, everything can return to the original position.

In the blink of an eye, Coles has sorted out all the interests and explained it to others in the mind link.

The mind-to-heart communication was extremely fast, until Coles made a decision and jointly cast spells with his subordinates to block the teleportation around the square, Larry's magic scroll had just been activated.
