Arcane Lord

From the East District to the villa area, you can either go through the central square or go through the port in the northeast corner of the town. It's hard to say which is faster, but Xia Duo chose to go through the port.

Savile Port is just a river port. Perhaps in Netheril, this port is not small and prosperous, but to Xia Duo, who has seen 10,000-meter ports on earth, this place is no different from a small dock.

When Xia Duo passed by here, a cargo ship was unloading, and the carriers were four groups of ragged orcs, each group of about seven or eight, strung together with iron chains, with overseers holding whips behind them to supervise.

This was the first time Xia Duo saw an orc slave. The scene of fighting an orc in the Green Pearl Forest at the end of last year once again emerged from the depths of his memory, but he didn't think much about it and continued walking to the villa area.

crackling——

Two clear sounds, the sound of a whip hitting flesh, suddenly sounded.

Then a arrogant voice came, "Hurry up! If the unloading is not completed before dark, there will be no food for everyone. The Plantagenet Merchant Guild will not raise waste!"

"Huh? Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce?"

Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Xia Duo couldn't help but look back. It was the black-faced man who was beating the orc slave with a whip.

While beating him, he was cursing, "Idiot! Hurry up! Carefully carry it, I'll spread it a little to make you look good!"

This scene reminded Sha Duo of some bad memories. If he had been successfully enslaved by Old Neil, he might have experienced what these orcs experienced.

The partner Old Neil chose was the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce. It had been so long, and I thought I would forget it, but I didn't expect to encounter this scene today.

After leaving the port, Xia Duo, who was already a little irritable, became even more irritable, and a kind of nameless anger came out of nowhere.

However, Xia Duo also knew that the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce was nothing more than a tool to Old Neil. There was no Plantagenet and there was not enough Plantagenet. It was right that Old Neil was the culprit, but Xia Duo's dislike for this Chamber of Commerce was It can't be resolved no matter what.

Arriving at Fairbus Villa, Shado found that the door of the villa was surrounded by a group of adventurers. The adventurers were noisy, and a man who looked like a housekeeper was comforting everyone inside.

"Don't worry, everyone. My master is just going to the Mage Tower for a temporary stay. He will be back soon. At that time, he will settle the payment with you. If you are worried, you can also ask me to settle the settlement in advance, but I will only settle it based on your actual progress. Come on, you guys have to think about it!"

As soon as he heard this, Sha Duo turned around and left. He wanted to change his mission credentials, which the housekeeper couldn't do, and now Mrs. Patty had gone to the mage tower. What on earth was going on?

Will it affect his mission? Don't make it so that he can't even get the 400 gold coins, it will be miserable.

After Xia Duo left, the adventurers still did not disperse. They blocked the door of the villa and wanted to ask for their reward. However, each of them was confident that they had really investigated something or were trying to deceive by relying on the strength of their numbers. The money is unknown.

…

Mage Tower Center.

Not only is it a structural center, but it is also the center of energy circulation in the Mage Tower.

This is the hidden fourth floor of the Mage Tower, where the most important and important element pool of the Mage Tower is located. Of course, corresponding to it are the positive energy pool at the top of the tower and the negative energy pool at the bottom.

At this moment, in a high-standard magic laboratory next to the elemental pool, Lord Epps Saville and Master Aibo sat opposite each other. Both of them were extremely trusted by the other.

Even the secrets of advanced arcanists can be shared with each other. The last time Lord Epps advanced, although he failed in the end, he also accumulated a lot of experience.

And personal experience is always better than empty words on the page. With Lord Epps' personal experience, Aiboke's advancement has been very stable this time.

There were almost no changes. Seeing that Aibo was about to succeed, Lord Epps sighed in his heart. If an arcanist taught him experience, then maybe he could also advance successfully.

Just missing level 10 this time, he can only advance again when he waits to advance to legend, but the difficulty is higher than now, and he may not even have the chance to advance to legend!

Epps can already feel his body's vitality fading day by day. He no longer has any hope for the legend. Now he just wants to become an archmage as soon as possible, and then use the life extension spell left by his grandfather, so that he can protect Niya for a while longer. It's time.

Time passed by minute by second. Despite the sorting and suppression by the mage tower, the magic network in this magic laboratory was still "tumbling" violently, as if it knew the fate it would encounter next.

At this moment, Aibo suddenly shouted: "Eps, I have reached the last step. The magic network is about to riot. You should stand in the magic circle first."

When he said this, Master Aibo was manipulating an energy cycle composed of the four elements of earth, fire, water, wind, and positive and negative energy. He was trying to control it. The surrounding magic network was twisting crazily with this energy cycle as the core.

Seeing this, Lord Epps did not dare to be careless at all. The last time he advanced, he failed here. In order to avoid affecting Eberk and for his own safety, he hurriedly hid in the protective circle.

This protective circle can isolate the magic net. As soon as Epps entered it, he felt like a fish out of water, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Although it has no real impact on him, one can imagine the psychological gap when a mage suddenly loses his magic.

After Eberck saw Epps entering the protective circle, he immediately took action, and the cycle composed of four elements, positive and negative energy began to intensify, but this was not the essence of an advanced arcanist.

It's just an appearance during the advancement process.

In fact, Aibok is tearing apart the magic network in the magic laboratory crazily and regularly, and what is manifested outwardly is the cycle of elements and energy.

I don't know how long this process lasted. Suddenly, the mage's laboratory went dark, and all the magical aura dissipated. But after an instant, a strong blue glow bloomed from Aibo's hand.

This glow was so intense that Lord Epps, who had lost his magic in the protective circle, could see it with his naked eyes. After seeing this light, the nervous look on Epps's face disappeared instantly.

He knew that Aiboike had succeeded. Although the arcane fire still needed to be connected to the magic network, these were just details. The process of truly seizing the essence of the magic network had been achieved, and then there would no longer be any obstacles to the arcane path!

Epps looked at Aberke with envy and was sincerely happy for the old man.

When the blue light dissipated, Epps immediately walked out of the protective circle. At this time, the magic network in the magic laboratory was shattered. Epps, who was inside, could feel that the hidden energy was about to explode, but was given a blow by another force. Suppressed.

Epps suddenly felt a sense of fear of power, as well as awe and yearning for arcanists.
