Lord of Arcane

Chapter 86
Now Master Kenny's greatest hope is to be discovered by Shado and others in time, and then take a good night's sleep. After recovering his spellcasting ability, he will become that powerful necromancer again.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he can muddle through and obtain asylum before the hunter arrives.

……

In the temporary camp of Xia Duo, under the purposeful observation, Xia Duo penetrated the gap in the forest and could already see a staggering figure walking in their direction.

Even closer, Shado could roughly tell that it was a middle-aged man, dressed in the clothes of ordinary merchants in Savile Town, and seemed to be really an ordinary person.

"Captain Gibb, you go to meet him and inquire about the identity of the other party."

"Yes."

The others also breathed a sigh of relief, and without waiting for Xia Duo's orders, they put away their weapons one after another, but Xia Duo didn't. He just covered the crossbow with his cloak, and the arrow still pointed steadily at the middle-aged businessman.

Over there, Gibb had already received the man. After the two said a few words, Gibb shouted loudly, "Help someone, he is about to collapse!"

Everyone turned their attention to Xia Duo, waiting for his instructions. Xia Duo nodded, and the two team members rushed out, holding the person from left to right and bringing him to the bonfire.

Xia Duo carefully observed the middle-aged man who looked like a businessman and compared it with the businessman in Savile Town in his memory. When he saw this man, Xia Duo's attention was on his fingers and neck.

Fair skin, which is not something ordinary businessmen can have.

The businessmen that Xia Duo has met are only slightly better than ordinary people, and when it comes to enjoyment, they have not reached that level!It is impossible to have such fair skin.

Looking at his face again, although he looked honest and honest, Xia Duo always felt that something was wrong.

From the conversation between the middle-aged man and Jibu, Shado learned that this man claimed to be a leather merchant in Savile Town. He and his companions encountered orcs in the forest and got separated!
This made Xia Duo even more suspicious. Not to mention how many orcs there are in the forest, why did they happen to meet them? Just how would an ordinary person escape from the orcs!

There are no details, just a vague sentence to go away. Unexpectedly, Jibu believed it, and even took out his own rations for him to eat.

The people around didn't show any signs of vigilance. They just lifted their guards. Are they really so big?
Xia Duo suddenly thought of Aiwa and was about to look for it, but unexpectedly Aiwa suddenly disappeared. Almost subconsciously, Xia Duo entered a state of focus on casting spells.

The image of the middle-aged man who looked like a businessman in the magic net was no different from other people, and there was no magical aura on his body. Xia Duo doubted whether he was too suspicious.

At this moment, a gnat-like voice came from behind, "This person may be a mage. Look at the magic rune on the inside of his right wrist."

It's Ava!
Xia Duo's heart froze, but his face was as usual, and his eyes swept over the man's wrist inadvertently, but Xia Duo did not find the magic rune in Aiwa's mouth.

If it really is as Aiwa said, if this person is a mage, then there must be some ulterior motive. A mage wearing the clothes of an ordinary businessman in the cold weather is walking in the forest, and there is a problem when you think about it.

Xia Duo wanted to shoot him with an arrow, but he was worried that this man had some unknown means. He tried to pull the magic net under the cloak, but he didn't want to make any magic effect, but simply "tugged" the silk of the magic net. continuously.

At such a close distance, if the opponent is a mage and happens to be in a spellcasting state, then even an apprentice can spot the movement on Xado's side.

But this person didn't do anything, and was still chatting with Jibb and the others. Of course, it was possible that he found out and pretended not to.

But as long as the other party didn't move, Xia Duo still had to continue to test. This time, he operated [Mage's Hand] to add the remaining paralyzing poison to the water bag.

Xia Duo put away the crossbow under the cloak, lifted the cloak, pulled the water bag off his waist, and handed it to the middle-aged man who was suspected of being a mage.

The only people who can have warm water to drink here are probably Shado and Dean, but at this time Dean also seemed to have been reminded, and took off the water bag from his waist.

When Xia Duo saw it, he hurriedly handed the water bag in his hand to the middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man is Mage Kenny who came from desperation. At this time, when he saw two apprentices competing to bring warm water, thinking of the necklace on his chest, he couldn't help but feel proud. I am happy.

Kenny took off the stopper and took a sip. It was a little sweet, and it seemed that sugar was put in, which was just right for him to regain his strength, but in the next second, Kenny's hand was released and his body fell backwards.

Xado cast [Mage's Hand] with the help of a water bag, and shouted, "Aiwa, check it out!"

"Master Xado, what the hell is going on?" Jibu felt that his head was not enough, and he was talking and laughing just now, why did he suddenly turn his face.

Seeing that Jibu was only asking a question and did not stop him, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief and did not answer the question, but signaled Aiwa to check quickly.

"Shado, what's wrong with him?" Dean was also a little puzzled. If he thought there was something wrong with this person, he shouldn't have brought him back just now.

"look--"

Xia Duo pointed to Aiwa who was busy working. At this time, Aiwa had skillfully unbuttoned the middle-aged man's clothes, and by this time, Kenny couldn't put it on anymore.

His eyes were full of anger, and he asked inarticulately, "What do you want to do!"

But most of his body was paralyzed, and he couldn't do anything, let alone cast spells. He could only watch helplessly as Aiwa found a small cloth bag the size of a palm from him.

Such a small bag, Xia Duo saw it in the hands of the golden-robed mage when he selected the mission area. It was such a small bag at the time, and a lot of badges were poured out of it.

Dimension bag!
Xia Duo entered the state of focus on casting spells, and saw that the small bag in his hand was exuding a strong magical light, but he hadn't noticed it before.

Taking another look, the other things that Aiwa found——

A pendant is a necklace of an elf image, with a very weak magical aura. If you carry it with you, it will even be covered by the aura of the human body itself;
A metal scroll box, but empty inside;

Two rings with unique shapes, one of which has a strong magical aura, the other has no ring at all, it seems to be just an ordinary ring.

But the dimension bag has come out, how can this ring be really so ordinary!

In addition to these things, there are some bone fragments, gold coins, gems, pins and other sundries.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was almost stripped naked and shivering in the cold wind, Xia Duo showed no pity, just put his original clothes on him, poured another mouthful of paralyzing poison, and asked:
"Who are you? Are you a mage? What is the purpose of deliberately approaching us?"
