Arcane Lord

After a while, Xia Duo saw three figures flying over from a distance. The first one he didn't know was probably the arcanist Aquilaine from the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

Ai Boke followed closely, while Mage Warren was at the back.

Shado calmly cast a protective spell on himself. Although he knew that there was no way to hide this in front of an arcanist, he didn't care.

"Are you Xia Duo, the lord of the Great Xia Territory? Is it you who asked the man behind me to expel me yesterday?" After Aquilaine landed, he stared at Xia Duo with a very frivolous tone.

Xia Duo was very nervous, but still looked at him without fear, "It's me! Are you here to tell me that you are ready to leave?"

"Haha, tell me, what you said before was all a joke!"

As he spoke, a strange light seemed to shine through Aquilaine's eyes. In Shado's eyes, the person in front of him suddenly seemed familiar, like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

Then of course old friends cannot be driven away at will!

But just when Xia Duo was about to speak, an idea suddenly occurred deep in his heart. If he did not expel the other party, the authority of the Tower of Time would plummet, and he would not be able to accept the series of consequences that would follow.

Xia Duo was shaken. Thinking back again, this old friend didn't seem that familiar at all! Xia Duo put aside the interference of emotions and found that there was no trace of this old friend in his memory.

With such a violent conflict of ideas, how could he still not understand that he had been tricked?

Almost subconsciously, Xia Duo took out the [Pioneer Scepter] from his portable space. The moment he took the scepter into his hands, he felt as if his mind was wearing a thick protective shield.

Solid as a rock, he is not disturbed by any external force.

This also made Xia Duo more aware that the inexplicably familiar feeling just now seemed so unexpected at this moment.

If the other party does not ask him to speak, but asks him to follow, then——

Xia Duo could hardly imagine that kind of scene. Without a strong conflict of ideas, he might not even realize that he had been tricked.

Thinking of this, Chateau's eyes looked at Aquilaine with alertness.

At this moment, his heart was pounding. He had only one thought in his mind for this enemy that invaded his soul, and that was - kill!

Forcibly suppressing the murderous thoughts and intentions that were rushing through his heart, his reason told him that this was not the right place, and the Tower of Time also needed more energy reserves.

Shado's actions and performance only made him chuckle in Aquilaine's eyes.

Facing Aiboike, who had just landed and was standing next to Sha Duo, Aquilaine took two steps back and glanced around the manor, pausing for a moment at the banquet tables, chairs, and the attending mages.

Then he said: "I heard that Lord Niya of the Tower of Time has become a student of Her Royal Highness the Princess? Can I join your banquet?"

"No! Aquilaine!" Aibok took out his staff and said seriously, "You are not welcome here, please leave immediately!"

At the same time, other people in the Tower of Time finally understood that what was coming turned out to be an evil visitor!

Although they had taken protection before, they were not prepared to fight. Now that they got the signal, those who had staffs took out staffs and those who had scrolls took out scrolls. They also dispersed silently, as if if something went wrong, they would immediately start a fierce fight. .

Facing an arcanist of the same level, as well as an unknown number of at least ten mid-level mages, even Aquilaine needed to retreat temporarily, not out of fear, but out of necessity.

"Are you going to challenge the Eagle Chamber of Commerce! As long as the Saville Territory does not hand over the murderer who killed Axel, I will stay here, including of course the Mystery Lock Ruins!"

After saying that, Aquilaine turned his gaze to Aiboike, who was waiting for him, and said provocatively: "You are welcome to come to me for spell exchange next time!"

Finally, his eyes fell on the [Pioneer Scepter] in Xia Duo's hand, and he said something unclear, "Pioneer?!"

Then he flew away again, and Aibo followed.

Afterwards, the banquet continued and the exchanges continued, but after the incident with Aquiline, the atmosphere was obviously not as lively as before.

But Xia Duo ignored this and persisted until it got dark.

In the evening of summer, when the heat subsides and brings with it the coolness of the evening breeze, Xia Duo temporarily cancels the weak elemental balancing ability of the [Crimson Protection Robe] and enjoys this rare time.

At this time, the wine no longer needs to be chilled with [Freezing Ray], and mixed with the natural summer flavor, it seems to have more flavor.

However, when Xia Duo saw the empty bottles there, he felt extremely distressed. Regardless of the true cost, the price of the Tower of Time was as high as 100 gold coins per bottle.

Drinking more will not make you drunk, but will make you more energetic. Even an intermediate mage cannot have a bottle of this kind of wine every day. In fact, a junior mage only has a quota of one bottle per month. If you want to drink more, you have to pay for it yourself. money.

But today, no matter whether it was a mid-level mage or a low-level mage, everyone drank at least two bottles.

A lot of money!

Returning to the Mage Tower, the shadow of empty wine bottles floated in Sha Duo's mind from time to time. He could only laugh at himself and regard it as going to stock.

…

Reception room.

Shado and Aibo sat opposite each other, preparing to discuss the relevant details of the "law enforcement action" again.

Last night, Xia Duo stayed up all night and spent all his time in the library, but he did not find a feasible solution that was very suitable for the current conditions.

The methods he found required very stringent conditions and could not be achieved in a short time, so he wanted to hear Aibo's thoughts first:

"Aibo, have you found any feasible way to conduct a raid?"

"have!"

Aibo's attitude was very clear, "Today I went to the temple to meet with Bishop Ambril. He has a way to let us enter the shadow plane."

"Really?! That's great!" Sha Duo was overjoyed. Aquilaine's protective monitoring was very good. Currently, the only way to approach him without triggering an alarm was through the shadow plane, and then carry out a surprise attack.

If Alberk didn't say anything, he almost forgot about Savile Territory and Bishop Ambril. He quickly asked:

"Tell me, how did Bishop Ambril do it?"

Xia Duo couldn't wait to know how Bishop Ambril did it. If he could learn it, wouldn't it be a very effective means of surprise attack that would be hard to guard against!

But Aibo couldn't tell him the answer. Aibo just said: "This may be a special ability given to him by the Lord of Glory. We should not speculate. Now let's confirm the details of the action, Bishop Ambril." will also act with us.”

Xia Duo nodded and began to discuss.
