Arcane Lord

Seeing that Sha Duo seemed to have discovered something, Uk quickly asked his men to look at the goblins, then he moved forward, helped Sha Duo hold the ink bottle, and followed him as he moved back and forth in the open space.

And after Xia Duo recorded the anomalies that caused the magic network here (abnormalities disguised as normal), he found that except for this disguise magic, he was completely unable to understand other magic.

Because these magics interfere with the magic network to a deeper level that Sha Duo can observe, that is to say, in addition to a 1-level disguise magic, there is at least one, at least 2-level mysterious magic.

And these mysterious magics may be the direct reason that attracts the goblins and drives them to attack the olive grove.

Xia Duo could only record the surface and first elements of these mysterious magics on the magic network, but he could not observe or record the deeper levels.

…

In this way, until the sunset approached the horizon, Xia Duo rubbed his eyebrows and put away his notes, "I finally recorded it!"

"Master Shado, what are you—" Uk asked at this time, "Have you discovered anything? Is the goblin's abnormal movement caused by magic?"

A series of questions made Xia Duo a little confused. Just now, in order to maintain the spell, he had to pay attention to observe the changes in the magic network. Fortunately, he was using his bloodline ability. If he had used the [Steam Ray], he would have been tired. Got down.

"Captain Uk, it is indeed caused by magic. Go and bring the village chief and his son. I have something to ask them."

"good."

Uk responded, turned and left.

Xia Duo is preparing to remove the disguise magic here. Although he has not learned any special methods to remove magic, based on the principle of magic production, Xia Duo can also deduce some basic methods.

It is nothing more than the reverse operation of casting a spell. If you want to cast a spell, you must intervene in the magic network. The reaction operation is an operation to counter this intervention trend.

For example, one of the casting elements of level 0 [Light Spell] is to superimpose part of the structure of the magic network, and the reaction operation is to separate it and restore it to its natural state. Of course, all elements must be reversed at the same time.

This method of dispelling magic requires the caster to be very knowledgeable about the specific magic that needs to be dispelled.

If it's a normal time when you're not in a hurry, that's okay, you can study it slowly. If it's a battle, it would be fatal if you don't understand the magic used by the opponent.

Therefore, Xia Duo speculated that there should be another spell that could be used in battle to directly forcibly sort out the structure of the magic network and suppress the fluctuations of the magic network, similar to the effect of suppressing out-of-control spells in the magic laboratory.

Now Xia Duo can only use the first method - to dispel the magic through understanding the elements of spell casting.

What he knew best was the nature of the magic network on the surface. When the disguised magic, in which most of the casting elements were 0-ring elements, was lifted, Sha Duo saw a dim aura emanating from the mysterious magic.

It spread to the surrounding area and filled a large area.

From this dim aura, Xia Duo felt the desire for food and to become stronger. However, Xia Duo didn't care about this extremely superficial temptation, and even found it a bit funny inexplicably.

After leaving the spell-casting state, these dim auras disappeared again, and Xia Duo did not feel any impact on himself. It may have been specially designed for goblins.

Here, Xia Duo had just released the disguise magic, and there was a burst of noise not far away——

"Sir, why do you want to arrest our village chief? Our village chief is a good man!"

"Yes, sir, if Hank from the village chief's family hadn't discovered the orcs in advance last year, our entire village would have been killed by the orcs!"

…

Seemingly impatient with the noise, Uk slapped the scabbard on his waist hard, pointed at Xia Duo who was checking his notes not far away, and said, "It is the mage who is looking for your village chief. What else do you want to say?"

Mage apprentices may not have much of a deterrent effect in the town, but in the countryside, they are very intimidating. When Wu Ke mentioned that Sha Duo was looking for the village chief, the few villagers who followed him immediately stopped talking.

But he didn't just leave. Instead, he followed cautiously. The eyes of several people collided and seemed to be discussing something.

"Master Xia Duo, people have brought it."

As soon as he came over, Uk stood beside Sha Duo and asked his team members to separate the villagers from the village chief and Hank. Faced with this situation, the village chief was somewhat calm, but Hank was a little uneasy. .

He looked at Xia Duo for a while, then at the surrounding soldiers, and finally turned his eyes to his old father, his lips moving, feeling at a loss.

At first, Xia Duo didn't speak, but after seeing Hank's appearance, he was even less prepared to speak first. Instead, he stared at the village elder closely, and at the same time made a ball of fire in his hand and exerted pressure.

Already in awe of the mage, and with a ghost in his heart, the old man saw the light of fire appearing in Xia Duo's hand, and fell to his knees, "Master mage, it's none of my business. Forced!”

"..."

Before Xia Duo could ask any questions, the old man explained everything about his accidental discovery of the mysterious man some time ago. According to what the old man said, he was completely passive. He bumped into what the mysterious man was setting up in the olive grove, and was then killed. Don't say anything if you threaten, otherwise the old man and his family will be killed.

In addition to telling the mysterious man where to place the magic, the old man also took out a small cloth bag from his arms, put his hands on his head, and cried: "Master Mage, these are the gold coins that the mysterious man gave me. There are 20 gold coins in total, and I don't have any." Dare to move, everything I said is true!"

Xia Duo did not pick up the bag of gold coins, but asked, "What's the situation with your son?"

At this moment, the village chief's son Hank also fell to his knees, but he remained silent and did not dare to do anything to Sha Duo and Uk. Instead, he glared at his father.

"Hank, he didn't know anything about it, it's all my fault!" Old Hank blocked everything he had on him, hoping that Xia Duo would let his son go.

After hearing his father's words, Hank no longer glared, but seemed to feel much more relaxed, and even his kneeling waist straightened a little.

All the soldiers around him saw this scene clearly, and subconsciously put their hands on the hilt of their swords. They looked at Xia Duo, hoping that Xia Duo would interrogate Hank properly.

But Xia Duo didn't want to watch any more family ethics dramas. He wasn't needed to try the case anyway. He was just concerned about the arrangement of the mysterious man in the olive grove.

Ignoring Old Hank's pleading look, he directly ordered, "Take me to the location where you met the mysterious man."

"grown ups--"

However, Xia Duo was resolute and did not want to or could not decide the outcome of their father and son. Old Hank had no choice but to get up and take Xia Duo to the olive grove.

…

The sky was getting dark. Team Shado and Uk led Old Hank, his son, and the two goblins in front. A group of villagers followed behind, whispering.

What Old Hank said just now has been spread, and the villagers have begun to distance themselves from each other.
