Arcane Lord

After dinner, Shado and Glada wandered around the city, half to eat and half to have fun. The nightlife in Sukanvisa was quite rich. On the street corner, a group of elves could often be seen watching minstrel performances.

Occasionally, these onlookers will even put on a show themselves.

"Athos, are we going to watch a spell showdown or a sword showdown?" Glada asked.

Xia Duo thought for a while and replied almost subconsciously: "Let's watch the swordsmanship!"

"I knew I would say that, hurry up, or you won't be able to find a good spot in a while."

Grada pulled Xia Duo through the streets and alleys, and soon came to a place similar to a platform. At this time, someone was already fighting on it.

There were also elves surrounding them, and some even cast spells to float in mid-air.

Like a crazy little tiger, Grada rushed left and right to the front row with Shado. When an elf accused him, Grada laughed triumphantly.

"Athos, look! It's the 'Star Sword', it's so powerful!"

Xia Duo looked at the opposite platform. The "Star Sword" in Grada's mouth was exactly a black-haired elf standing on the platform. His skin color was the same as theirs, copper-colored.

And the sword in the hand of this "Sword of Stars" is shining with the brilliance of stars. Maybe that's how the name "Sword of Stars" comes from.

Grada shouted excitedly, causing the surrounding elves to unconsciously make a gap, and Shado also moved slightly away.

Soon, an elf in the audience jumped on the spot, jumped onto the opposite platform, and waved the sword in his hand without saying a word. Xia Duo noticed that although this was a sword duel, spells were not completely prohibited.

There was an unknown spell condensed on the challenger's sword, and the people around him didn't object, as if it were natural.

The "Star Sword" also responded very quickly. With a single finger of the long sword in his hand, the challenger's spell was immediately disintegrated.

At the same time, a ray of starlight fell from the top of the "Sword of Stars", followed by a series of sword strikes. The "Sword of Stars" shrouded in the starlight looked so good that even Xia Duo felt sad after seeing it. envious.

The elves' swordsmanship is exquisite and sensitive. It looks beautiful, but it hides murderous intent. Xia Duo can't quite understand it. However, judging from the reactions of the surrounding elves, especially Grada, the two elves fighting on the stage should be quite powerful. .

For a moment, the challenger suddenly took a few steps back and stopped, "I'll challenge you next time!"

After saying that, he left the opposite platform. Under the stage, Xia Duo noticed that some elves sent flowers to the challenger, and the challenger accepted them one by one.

If the loser is like this, then the winner will be even more glorious. The people around him cheered him in unison and gave him a salute.

Grada looked at the popular "Sword of the Stars" on the stage, jumping and shouting, very enthusiastic. Then the "Sword of the Stars" fought several more games, and won every time.

This also pushed the atmosphere in this area to a climax. A group of elves onlookers cheered and shouted. Some elves used magic to summon fine wine and drank with the surrounding elves.

Even Chateau and Grada were given a large glass. This wine was somewhat similar to what Chateau drank at the Tower of Time, but the taste was lighter and could almost be regarded as a kind of juice.

After drinking, Grada took Xia Duo around the city again, and even walked around the white tower and walked along the suspended corridor.

…

After playing until midnight, Chateau returned to his "own" home - a small manor next to Grada's house.

The two are very similar, but the "own home" has no guards and lacks vitality. It seems that it has been decaying for a long time and it returns to the "own" room by instinct.

Only then did Xia Duo have time to think about his situation. Too many times today, he relied on "instinct" to do things. The most obvious one was that he could communicate with elves normally even though he didn't know Elvish at all before.

This is really weird!

Taking out an old book from his "home", Xia Duo compared the words on the book and began to identify them.

"Crona's Cooking Notes"?

Is it Crona from next door? Xia Duo continued to read. At first glance, the meaning of the text inside emerged in his heart. It was a text recording Crona's home life, including her experience with the Athos family.

Of course, it mainly focuses on making delicious food, similar to food blogs with stories on earth.

However, when Xia Duo observed carefully, he found that he did not recognize any of these words.

Perhaps it was really the projection spell of the Arcane Federation that allowed him to replace the elf named "Athos" in some form, allowing him to observe and experience the projection world from the perspective of "Athos".

Then Xia Duo wandered around in this "home" again. Everywhere he went, he felt a sense of familiarity, and sometimes he could even blurt out words like "what is this, what is that".

But inside this layer of inexplicable familiarity, it was Xia Duo's true feelings - strangeness, curiosity, a little excitement, and a little fear.

I dug out all the books "at home", more than ten books in total. In addition to the "Crona's Cooking Notes", there are also several books that record life.

The remaining half or so are books related to magic and martial arts, such as "Secret Enlightenment", "Swordsmanship Enlightenment", "Phyllis's Offensive Art" and the like.

You can probably tell it by looking at the name.

Xia Duo did not read these books immediately. Anyway, he had enough time. If he wanted to, he could even stay here for the rest of his life.

The key is to look at oneself, that is, the elf named "Athos". Sha Duo almost without hesitation untied all his clothes, and then touched all the way from his ears to the soles of his feet.

Every part has a full sense of familiarity, but if you experience it carefully, it also has a full sense of strangeness.

"It's not my real body after all!"

Moreover, Chateau is also worried that in this interweaving of familiar and unfamiliar feelings, cognitive errors will occur, and he will eventually either suffer from schizophrenia or be completely assimilated.

Either way he couldn't accept it.

After examining the body, Xia Duo began to examine the spirit, or essence. He didn't have much experience in this, and could only look at it from the perspective of contact with the magic network.

In the main plane, Shado has access to the second level of the magic network, and as far as he knows from Grada, Athos only knows a few tricks, which is not as good as Grada, and is even at the bottom of the entire "class" .

Generally speaking, the magic talents of swordsingers are not the best, because the best ones show their talents early and become mages. Athos is 42 years old, but he has only mastered a few tricks, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

Although elves are not officially adults until they are 100 years old, in fact, the development speed of elves is similar to that of humans. It is just that the immortal society will naturally consider those under 100 years old as not (psychologically) mature enough.

And looking at Grada's appearance, the underage elf may be really immature. A 40-year-old elf can act coquettishly, but if it were a human, the picture would not be too beautiful!
