Arcane Lord

As soon as he walked out of the reception hall, Xia Duo felt that he was surrounded by a strong sound, and it seemed that there were people outside.

At this moment, a man who looked like a butler trotted over to greet him. It was Larry who Xia Duo had just met not long ago. At this time, he had almost completely forgotten the experience of being beaten just now, and he still behaved very respectfully. A gift:

"Sir, the welcome ceremony is ready. Please move to the South Tower Square with your guests!"

Upon hearing this, Shado couldn't help but glance at Ozkar. It was exactly as he expected. Those people chose the South Tower Square for the assassination.

Of course, it could also be that Xia Duo would not relax at all on the way to the South Tower Square.

"good!"

At this time, Ozkar once again regained the enthusiasm he had when they first met. He extended his hand to Xia Duo and said, "Lord Xia Duo, please!"

Of course, this was not to go hand in hand, but to invite Xia Duo to go together. At this time, Xia Duo experienced firsthand what the welcome ceremony in the mainland was like——

Both sides of the road were filled with cheering crowds. The side of the road closest to them was actually full of young girls, holding flower baskets in their hands. Whenever Chateau and Ozkar passed by, they would throw out flower petals a few seconds in advance to cheer them up. Pave a path of petals.

Now that we have entered the late autumn season, without magic, it is almost impossible to achieve such a scene. Even with magic, it is not a small expense to create so many petals in a short time.

Of course, the other side of etiquette can also be understood as a display of strength.

However, for Xia Duo, who is always vigilant, these petals are undoubtedly a trouble. Who knows whether an assassin or magic will suddenly emerge from these petals. This is not impossible in the magical world.

The bloodline ability [Control of Qi] can now play its due role. Xia Duo can control the airspace within three feet of his body at all times.

Within nearly a foot, any petal entering this range will quickly lose lateral speed, as if it has hit an invisible barrier.

Ozkar saw these changes happening around Chateau, but did not show it. He just reminded him secretly: "Be careful of the band behind you!"

"band?"

Xia Duo was startled, and almost subconsciously turned around and looked back, but he still held back. Doesn't turning back at this time mean that he already knew that there was an assassination?

This may prompt the other party to change the plan or even give up the plan, which is inconsistent with his "assassination" mission.

Xia Duo only communicated with the 0-level [Messaging Technique] with weak spiritual light fluctuations, and quickly exchanged some information:

"Lord Rodney, what's wrong with the band?"

"The sound of the organ can't keep up with the rhythm of other instruments. Maybe the organist has been replaced!"

"..."

Xia Duo listened carefully and found nothing wrong with the sound of the organ. He even couldn't distinguish the sound of the organ.

However, he still agreed with Ozkar's judgment. After all, in terms of familiarity with the band, Ozkar was definitely more familiar with the lord.

Furthermore, since he would rather believe what he has than what he has not, especially when it comes to matters concerning his own life, Xia Duo still cautiously paid more attention behind him.

…

The distance from Ozkar's Linshui Manor to the South Tower Square is not that far, but during the ceremony, the speed cannot be increased even if one wants to.

In other words, Xia Duo would rather encounter an assassination on the road than step into an assassination scene that may have been arranged by them.

Of course, it is possible that the assassination scene was arranged on the way to South Tower Square.

Ozkar speculated that those people would probably use magic items to assassinate. After all, if you want to assassinate another arcanist in front of a senior arcanist, it would be impossible without some special abilities.

Along the way, Xia Duo, in addition to paying attention to the people he listed as suspects, paid the most attention to the magical auras that might appear on both sides of the road.

This is difficult to avoid. Even if the magical item itself has its aura hidden, the magical aura will still be aroused at the moment of use.

This is like trying to attack an underwater target. Even if the bullet is invisible, the refractive index of the water around the bullet changes when it penetrates the water, thus revealing the body shape.

In this world, magic nets are almost everywhere, and it is almost impossible to attack around them.

Even if an arcanist deploys his own arcane fire and attacks through his own micro-magic net, it will still trigger a reaction from the external magic net environment.

Unless it is a pure physical attack such as cutting with a knife or shooting with an arrow, this level of assassination may be feasible for an ordinary person, but it is unlikely for an arcanist.

Seeing that he was about to enter the South Tower Square, Xia Duo's heart was almost in his throat. He hadn't found any useful clues yet, which was worrying.

In this case, he had no choice but to focus more on the band behind him.

Although his back was turned to the band and he couldn't see the magic aura, Sha Duo's perception of the magic network was not weakened much. If he wanted to assassinate him just by sneak attack from behind, it would be an insult to the spell caster.

Where is the assassin hiding?

…

At this moment, the music suddenly stopped. Chateau and Ozkar stepped into the South Tower Square almost at the same time. There were not many people in the square, but a handful of them stood out.

There were all spellcasters there, and they all had special identities. Ozkar immediately abandoned Shado, walked over quickly, and scolded in a bad tone:

"Is there nothing to do? What are you doing here?"

At the same time, Coles, who was among the ordinary people in the square, suddenly heard a voice in his consciousness, "Sir, the target has been confirmed, do you want to take action now?"

"Wait a little longer, wait over there first - no, do it, do it immediately!"

After seeing those spellcasters all fall to the ground under Ozkar's order, Coles immediately realized that the situation had changed.

The right thing to do was to give up the action, but it was already too late. Larry had already taken out a magic scroll covered with silver patterns and was about to activate it.

Seeing this scene, Coles wanted to die. How could the master let such an idiot become his leader!

Before taking action, he saw with his own eyes that Larry handed the magic scroll to one of Ozkar's sons. Unexpectedly, Larry took the scroll back again. He was so stupid.

But now that Larry has shown signs of taking action, Coles is not allowed to cooperate with him. Now he is betting on whether Ozkar has the courage to fall out with his master.

If the bet wins, everything will be as before, and even Ozkar will no longer have any resistance; if the bet loses, the consequences will not be theirs to bear.

No matter what happens on Ozkar's side, as long as the assassination is confirmed, Ozkar will not be able to escape the relationship. Even if they win the bet, everything can return to its original position.

In the blink of an eye, Coles had clarified all the stakes and explained it to others in the spiritual link.

The spiritual communication was extremely fast. It was not until Coles made a decision and jointly cast a spell with his subordinates to block the teleportation around the square that Larry's magic scroll was just activated.
