Arcane Lord

Sha Duo turned his attention to Ai Boke. He had never heard of such a strange situation and was prepared to listen to the opinions of the elders first.

However, what he didn't expect was that Aibok frowned at this moment, as if he had encountered something difficult. Sha Duo couldn't help but summoned and asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this Cole?"

"No, this Cole just temporarily suppressed himself in the process of self-salvation, which has a similar effect to a mental spell called [Mechanical Mind]. But -"

Aiboke's voice changed and he expressed his worries, "The biggest mistake is that Lord Rodney covets the Green Bead Forest."

"What's wrong?" Xia Duo asked quickly.

"Rodney Territory is located in the southernmost part of the core area of ​​Netheril. The territory spans both sides of the Netheril River. Cargo ships traveling to and from Savile Territory must pass through Rodney Territory!"

Xia Duo roughly made up a map in his mind. From the core of Nese is Severton, which is also the northernmost point. In the middle is Rodney Territory, and below is Savile Territory. To the east of Savile Territory is the border trade city with the elves, Canney. Phila.

The elves import Netheril's metal ores and raw jewelry stones, and export artworks such as paintings, statues, and jewelry, as well as practical goods such as wine, spices, and magic items.

This is the part about the city of Conefira and the elves.

There is also trade between the city of Conifera, Savile Territory, and the interior of Nese.

This part is mainly necessities such as living supplies and food. The elves prohibit humans from destroying the forest. In fact, the city of Conifera is still not self-sufficient and relies entirely on supplies from the rear.

In such a large-scale trade, only a very small number of items of astonishing value are transported using magic. The rest are transported by water, land, or manually.

The waterway is from Severton to Savileland, and the land route is from Savileland to the east.

It can be said that Savile Territory and Rodney Territory are important nodes on this trade line, and in terms of importance, Savile Territory is more important than Rodney Territory.

Because the food of Conefira City is mainly provided by the Saville Territory.

But just like the Savile Territory did not dare to cause trouble with food, the Rodney Territory could not use its geographical advantages to cause trouble. After all, although the border trade city was dominated by a great arcanist, the interests did not belong to his family.

The interests of everyone are the overall situation, and no one dares to go against the overall situation.

Therefore, Xia Duo wondered whether this was a chain reaction caused by the Savile Territory leaning towards the princess, or whether the Tower of Time left the Savile Territory, making people ready to move.

Thinking of this, Sha Duo suddenly asked, "Which great arcanist is behind Rodney's collar?"

"Probably not. The first lord of Rodney Territory came from Kiran Tower, but he went out to open up Rodney Territory independently a long time ago. At that time, Rodney Territory was also like Savile Territory, far away from the core of Nese. It was only later that people continued to open up the area, and the Rodney Territory and the core area of ​​​​Nese were connected. "

As he spoke, Aiboke also hesitated a little. No matter how much the Saville Territory shouted for independence at first, there was no great arcanist in charge, so it would not turn to the princess at the slightest sign of trouble.

Perhaps the unusual actions of the Rodney Territory this time were due to the instruction of a certain great arcanist, and this great arcanist was probably not on the same page as Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Eberk had no way of knowing the specific relationship between the Grand Arcanists, and he did not dare to speculate at will. However, there were only fifteen Grand Arcanists in Netheril. Counting them one by one, there was always one who was the instigator. By.

But now is not the time to study this, so Aibo summoned Sha Duo, "This Cole has redeemed himself. Staying in the territory is also a trouble. Let him go."

Already atoned for?

Shado thought of Cole's previous act of self-redemption, and of course the direct statement that Lord Rodney was interested in the Green Bead Forest. Perhaps this was what Aibok said was "atoned for".

So, should we release it or not?

First of all, killing is definitely not allowed. Perhaps at this moment, Cole is a pure and innocent believer in the eyes of the one in heaven, and the death is unknown. This kind of awe is still necessary.

But if he just let it go, he would be a little unwilling.

For a time, many thoughts appeared in Sha Duo's mind, intertwining with each other. In the end, rationality prevailed, and he decided to follow the elder's advice - let go.

Speaking of it, this time it was more like a business intrigue, but he didn't deceive Sha Duo this time. He even felt that Cole was too retarded to come so carelessly and want to be the chief consultant.

But since Cole has paid the price, there is no need for him to hold on to it.

As for Lord Rodney's coveting of the Green Pearl Forest, Xia Duo was helpless because neither the Bactria Territory nor the Saville Territory had substantial control over the Green Pearl Forest.

By default, it is the private land of the Saville Territory, which is just an unspoken rule. Now someone has broken the unspoken rule. In fact, this place is very passive.

It's indispensable to show off one's tactics at first glance, it all depends on what the other party will do next.

Looking at Cole, who still had a calm face, no hint of impatience, and even a hint of awe, Sha Duo felt disgusted.

He waved his hand and asked Leiden to expel him.

…

Later, he and Ai Burke walked aside and talked about Rodney Territory again. From Ai Burke's mouth, Sha Duo learned more about the situation of Rodney Territory.

The name of Lord Rodney of this generation is Ozkar Rodney. It is said that he was very fond of swordsmanship when he was young. The previous lord even invited a swordsman from the Elf Kingdom for him. Ozkar even once did this Gave up magic.

However, Ozkar is not famous for his swordsmanship, but for his ability to give birth.

The previous generation of Lord Rodney had only one child, Ozkar, but in this generation, almost no one can clearly count the children of Ozkar.

Not because of secrecy, but because there were too many.

When Sha Duo first heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong. A mage, or arcanist, is not famous for magic, but for his ability to give birth.

This is really too inconsistent.

He vaguely remembered that when he first traveled through time, he heard adventurers talking about the estrus ram in the north at Old Neil's Inn. Could it be that he was talking about Lord Rodney?

Conquer the world with blood?

Thinking of bloodline, Sha Duo quickly asked, "Do the members of the Rodney family have any special bloodline?"

If this were not the case, how could an ordinary person who was once addicted to swordsmanship finally become an arcanist?

However, his question failed to get an answer from Ai Burke, and Sha Duo also felt that his thinking was too confusing, and his focus now should be on the relationship behind Rodney's collar.

At this point, Xia Duo also wanted to end the conversation, "That's it. I'm going to contact Niya to see if she can find out anything through Her Royal Highness's connections."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

After saying that, Aibo teleported away again.

Looking at Aibok, who came and went like the wind, Sha Duo was full of envy. Of course, he would not be satisfied with just [short-distance teleportation]. Only the fifth-level [teleportation] that truly came and went like the wind was what he wanted.

However, he is also fast!
