Arcane Lord

The 　　 dinner was arranged at the Tower of Time.

　　From the central square to the Tower of Time, all the snow on the road has been cleared beforehand, making it very convenient for people to settle down. Xia Duo followed the mage in front and walked slowly towards the Tower of Time.

　　 Behind him, the light on the square gradually dimmed, and the soldiers had begun to lead the onlookers to leave the field one after another. Of course, when these ordinary people left the field, each of them could get a large piece of white bread.

　　 When I arrived at the Mage Tower, the pure black portal that was usually only two people wide was now completely open. Even the inside hall could be seen from the outside. The tables and chairs of the dinner party, busy apprentices, and servants were all clearly visible.

　　 When passing by this door, there is no sense of deep sea immersion of the usual black door, but like a teleportation spell, and he arrives in another space.

　　 "What a surprise!" An apprentice made a surprised voice, but was immediately attracted by the food in the hall on the first floor.

　　 Meat, fish, fresh fruits, vegetables, and the refreshing and sweet wine smell that you can smell as soon as you enter the hall!

　　 is no stranger to the taste apprentices. Usually, you can get a glass of similar spirit fruit wine in the restaurant during lunch, but those are just diluted apprentice-brewed versions.

　　 The original is brewed by a dedicated winemaker, and it is only for the official mage to enjoy. Unexpectedly, the lord is willing to entertain everyone with the authentic spirit wine this time.

　　 Others may have heard of the reputation of spirit wine, but few people have actually drank it, or even just smelled it, and when the real spirit wine was in front of them, many people could not help but twitch their noses.

　　 seems to put all the aroma of wine into the chest cavity.

　　 "Master, your position is here!"

　　 Under the guidance of the servant, Xia Duo came to the end of a long table. Perhaps the servant made a mistake and directly arranged Xia Duo next to an official mage.

　　 Before Xia Duo reminded him, the mage next to him took the initiative to speak, "Sit down, I remember you, Apprentice Xia Duo."

　　 "Uh, Master Master, you are—"

　　 Xia Duo is still wearing this kind of robe, without his name written on him. I don't know how the mage recognized him, but he has no impression of him.

　　 "Material Claim Office, you went to my place to exchange the study scroll."

　　 Between the electric light and flint, Xia Duo remembered that it was the time he exchanged the learning scroll before the mission——

　　 At that time, an apprentice bought a [Fireball Art] scroll and was scolded by him as an idiot. However, when Xia Duo exchanged the learning scroll, the other party reminded him to make good use of it.

　　 "It's you, what do you call Master Master?"

　　 "My name is Siore, I have known you can survive the orc tide, this time I have gained a lot!"

　　 "This—" Chateau didn't know what Sioré meant, but he had already sat down and had to say something, "Master Sioré, I have learned a lot after this mission."

　　Ciole nodded, but then changed the subject, "Chateau, now the time for the start of the Wizard Tower is uncertain, do you want to plan the next time?"

　　 The topic turned a little blunt. The two had only met once before, and one was a formal mage, and the other was just an apprentice. Xia Duo was a little frightened by this sudden concern.

　　 "I'm going to go to the library to copy a few books, and then study by myself, I don't know what Master Master means--"

　　 cough——

　　 I don’t know if it feels a little uncomfortable to pretend, and I can’t do it anymore, Ciore smiled awkwardly, and then said bluntly, "Are you interested in doing things in my laboratory?"

Not interested in!

　　 This was Chateau’s first reaction. He did nothing to show his courtesy or commit crimes or steal. Thinking about it with his toes, he knew that Theore's real purpose was definitely not to support him.

　　 But there is definitely some need to use him.

　　 It was impossible to promise, but he refused directly and was worried about offending the official mage. Xia Duo was also a little tangled for a while, but fortunately, the bell for the beginning of the banquet rang in time.

　　 The hall suddenly became quiet.

　　 This made Xia Duo greatly relieved, and quickly gave Theoreby an apologetic look, and then looked at the lord who was already seated and ready to speak, silently.

　　 But there was already a wave in his heart, and he didn't even listen to what the lord said. He just heard "the dinner begins" and started eating subconsciously.

　　 The long dining table here is only one side, full of spellcasters, and the long dining table opposite only sits on one side, all ordinary people, the two sides are facing each other, and the lord is a special table.

　　 The servants kept coming and going, and occasionally someone got up and talked at the table, but Chateau didn't care about it. He just immersed himself in eating, and at the same time wondered what the purpose of Theore was.

　　 The food at the dinner party is still good enough. Even Xia Duo from the food empire can't fault it. It can be seen that the dinner party still has a lot of work.

　　 One of the things that Xia Duo likes most is the spirit wine. Although there is only a small cup, it makes him drink the taste of nature, as if the whole person is floating in the clouds, roaming freely, which makes people very nostalgic.

And this also made him temporarily forget the doubts brought by Theore ~www.readwn.com~ Until the end of the dinner, Xia Duo returned to reality, taking advantage of the time between Theore and the neighboring wizards, he Immediately found the opportunity to leave the hall.

　　 After returning to the dormitory, Xia Duo's heart was still beating.

　　 Although he has escaped once for a while, Xia Duo knew that he had escaped from the first day of the first day but was less than the fifteenth. He had to figure out what Theorei wanted to do, otherwise it would be a deadlock.

　　 And even if he knew it, he still had to find a way to avoid it. Before he became an official mage, he really didn't want to have an intersection with any mage. In the case of unequal status and strength, how can there be equal contacts!

　　 Changing the dress, Xia Duo took out the Tower of Time badge issued by the previous lord. The appearance of this thing was similar to the one given to him by Master Horst when he participated in the mission.

　　 But this one is obviously a magic item. In the state of concentration, you can clearly see that it is emitting a steady stream of light blue light.

　　 The front of the badge is a pattern of the Tower of Time and a book, which is the emblem of the Saville family, and the back is inscribed with a paragraph of text——

　　 "Chardeau participated in the end of the orc tide of the Savile collar-Epps Savile, 834 years in Nethercale."

　　 is not actually an inscription to record merits. It just shows that he participated in this year's orc war, but the fact is true. It's just that people are greedy, and Xia Duo is no exception.

　　 This badge is actually a tool that connects the tower spirit of the time. It can contact the tower spirit outside the mage tower, and if you have sufficient authority, you can even return to the tower spirit directly from the outside with the help of the tower spirit.

　　For the apprentice, it's a bit tasteless, after all, the apprentice spends most of the time in the mage tower.

　　 Putting away the badge, Xia Duo continued the interrupted inventory and summary work.
