Lord of Arcane

Chapter 79
Three days later, the weather gradually changed, and the dark clouds covered the whole sky little by little, and even a little snow fell.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo decided to return to the town decisively. It was about to snow. He didn't know whether the orcs would continue to attack in the snow, but it was obviously not a good choice to go out to perform tasks in the snow.

In addition, they have been outside for three days, and the supplies are somewhat insufficient, and it is the right time to return at this time.

Xia Duo is a man of action. When he has an idea, he immediately informs Jibb and asks him to prepare his things.After that, Shado found Sammy.

"It's snowing, I'm going back to town, how about you?"

"This—" Sammy hesitated, "what if the orcs took the opportunity to leave the forest?"

The tragedy of the village he passed by three days ago still lingers in Sammy's mind, making it difficult for him to decide for a while.And Shado thought that Sammy should be very persuasive, but he didn't expect to get stuck here.

Does he still want to fight in the snow?
"The orcs also need to eat, and they are afraid of the cold. The snow probably won't be small. If they don't run for their lives, do they still come to die?" Xia Duo advised.

The fact that the orc's nest was taken away is not a secret thing in the territory. Even if you don't deliberately ask about it, you will listen to other team members in the past few days.

Like Chateau, just listen to what Gibb said.

There was a trace of struggle on Sammy's face. It was Devine who came over after hearing the two of them talking. "Sami, I also agree to go back now. Even if orcs really come, do we still have to fight in the snow?"

Also a mage apprentice, Devine is much more sensible than Sammy. Sensibility is a good thing, but it is not necessarily a good thing to let sensibility overwhelm rationality, especially for mage.

"All right!"

Although still a little unhappy, Sammy finally agreed to Shado's proposal. As for Dean, he is now only following Shado's lead. Basically, what Shado says, he does what he does, and his obedience is very high.

In this way, the teams on both sides packed up their things and returned before the snow got bigger.

When returning, Xado deliberately took more detours, leaving a warning to some villages where there were still people - pay attention to the direction of the forest, and hide as soon as you find orcs.

This move made Xado immediately gain the respect of everyone including Sammy.It is true that the Master speaks rationally, but if you are too rational, you will lose your humanity and the road will become narrower and narrower.

Appropriately showing warmth is another rational choice!
Shado learned not only some common sense in the field of magic, the customs of Netheril, but also the wisdom of mages from "The Biography of Archmage Darth Riel".

This wisdom is not only reflected in the insight and analysis of objective things, but also in the insight into human feelings and human hearts.

Of course, there is no such thing as absolute rationality in the mage, but that kind of situation is very rare, and this kind of person is almost invisible to everyone.

As far as Xia Duo is concerned, he absolutely does not want to have anything to do with this kind of person. Maybe this second you are useful to him by being alive, and the two are smiling. The next second he thinks that your death is useful to him, so he may immediately War is on.

Essentially this is an extreme egoist, maybe many mages are like this, but they don't show it.

……

After taking some detours, Xia Duo and the others returned to Savile Town near noon. In addition to their original 40 or so people, there were also some more residents from outside the town.

For various reasons, they voluntarily chose to join the territory army, and Shado brought them and their families back along the way.

However, when everyone returned to the barracks and was about to end their mission and spend the winter well, they learned a piece of bad news. All the teams who returned in the past two days were told—

The heavy snow will not fall for at least a week, this is the news from the mage tower.

In other words, Xia Duo and the others have to continue for at least another week, so the originally planned vacation has become a temporary repair, and they will continue to perform tasks tomorrow.

……

Old Neil Hotel, guest room on the second floor, Necromancer Kenny is holding a heavy book and reading it carefully. Old Neil respectfully reports the information he has inquired to Necromancer Kenny.

"My lord, tomorrow morning, the Eagle Chamber of Commerce will have a convoy to leave Saville and head north. In the afternoon, the Nugent Chamber of Commerce will also have a convoy to leave Saville and go to Conifera City. Both of these convoys are recruiting mages."

Old Neil turned his anticipation to Mage Kenny. He now hopes that this foreign Mage can leave as soon as possible, so that he can leave the relationship as soon as possible.

"I changed my mind." Master Kenny looked away from the book and looked at Old Neil. He knew at a glance what the other party was thinking, "I am going to stay in Savile until next year."

"what?!"

Old Neil was taken aback. He didn't know what was wrong. After letting the foreign mage change his mind temporarily, Old Neil moved his lips and was about to say something.

"What? Do you have an opinion?"

Facing those eyes that suddenly became indifferent, Old Neil suddenly swallowed back what he wanted to say, "Don't dare, don't dare."

"Go out, I'm going to read a book!"

"Yes Yes!"

Old Neil almost rushed out, and the out-of-town mage still had to stay in Savile Territory, which made Old Neil even more uneasy, for fear that the lord's soldiers would come knocking on the door in the next second.

The only thing that is fortunate now is that Old Neil still doesn't know what this Mage Kenny has done in Savile Land, otherwise, it is estimated that he will go to the temple to report it immediately.

And as long as he does this, Master Kenny can immediately take his life and even his soul.

Old Neil, who didn't know that his life was on the line, returned to the first floor. The war ahead was over, and the recruited adventurers were also released.

It's just the number of people. It would be nice if one out of ten came back, but this one must have many scars.

But even so, it made Old Neil's hotel a little more angry. A group of young men from nowhere were surrounding a middle-aged man on crutches, listening to him tell about his "great achievements" some time ago.

"You don't know, at that time the orc's battle axe had already hit the top of my head, but if I hesitated a little bit, my whole body would be split in half!"

"What then?"

"Afterwards, of course I fought back. You don't know that the blood spurting from the orc's neck was pouring on me. It was so fishy and smelly!" The middle-aged man on crutches said this, and made a slap in the nose.

It was as if the blood of the orc still remained on him.

The onlookers looked at him with admiration, and he seemed to enjoy it.

At this moment, there was a harsh laughter from outside the door.

　Do you still have your tickets?
