On the way back, Xia Duo suddenly found that the atmosphere in the town was a bit strange. There were suddenly many patrolling soldiers in the East District, and all intersections were blocked.
Even those who saw the mage Xia Duo asked a few questions, and others were not allowed to move around at will.
When he first arrived, there was no such big movement. Why did it happen so quickly? Xia Duo felt very strange. After walking half a street, he still wanted to find someone to ask.
And just when he was looking for a target to inquire about, a familiar figure appeared in his sight. It was Gibb, Shado's companion during the Orc War.
Xia Duo's eyes lit up and he quickly greeted him.
"Captain Gibb, I didn't expect to see you here!"
"Master Xia Duo?!" Gibb was also surprised to see Xia Duo. What surprised him even more was that Xia Duo's attire at this moment already showed that he was an official mage.
How long has passed!
"Master Sha Duo, Uk just followed me some time ago. He went on a mission with you, and even received a reward from above for his flaws! He is very grateful to you."
"Really? It was just a coincidence that time." Xia Duo was modest and returned to the topic. He pointed at the soldiers on the street and asked,
"What are you doing?" Gibb turned his head and ordered his soldiers to leave first, and then said: "We are arresting people from above."
"Arrest someone? Who are you arresting to make such a big fuss?"
"People from the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, it is said that they also have mages!" Gibb revealed a few words, and then hurriedly left to chase his soldiers, while Xia Duo slowed down, thinking while walk.
The name Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce is no longer unfamiliar, and Xia Duo's most intuitive impression of it is the scene of the overseer whipping the orc slaves when passing by the port a few days ago.
Unexpectedly, he was about to be rounded up just a few days ago. Xia Duo immediately thought of the death of Fairbus. If it wasn't for this incident, why would the territory suddenly go to war against a foreign chamber of commerce?
But Niya’s words were still lingering in his ears in the morning, asking him to persuade Mrs. Patty to give up the investigation. Why did he arrest someone in the blink of an eye?
Or, it has nothing to do with Fairbus? Xia Duo was a little confused. It was not uncommon for the superiors to make any decision without hesitation. The most important thing that had to do with him was probably that the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce was dealt with, and he would be happy to do so!
However, there is a force behind any foreign chamber of commerce. If the Saville leader is so strong, isn't he afraid of backlash?
Xia Duo secretly thought about the impact of this incident on the territory. But he was just a new mage. Even if he could barely get involved with the lord, this matter was not something he needed to worry about.
What he is really concerned about is whether this matter will affect him. Now Shado has just had his authority upgraded and is in a state of rapid development. Moreover, he is already tied to the Tower of Time and the Savile Leader.
The last thing he wanted was for any accidents to happen, either to himself or to his surroundings. ... With the slightest doubt, Xia Duo returned to the Mage Tower. Regarding everything in the outside world, he could only choose to believe in the choice of the lord and the way to survive in a territory that had existed for nearly a hundred years.
The next thing he can do is to improve himself as much as possible. Of course, he is not ready to give up on the arcane competition. There are only four people participating in the territory. As long as the performance is slightly decent, there should be no shortage of rewards.
The price/performance ratio is quite impressive, and it doesn’t take much time to do it. Xia Duo was still unclear about the specific rules of the arcane competition, and the so-called preparations were just looking for some books about the customs and customs in the library.
There are introductions to various arcane competitions above. As long as you have a general idea, it will be fine. Once the rules are released, it will not be too late to conduct surprise training.
After returning to his residence from the library, Shado plunged into the world of magic. The method of making the [Steam Ray] scroll was about to be born, and he couldn't wait.
...While Sha Duo was working hard to study the application and transformation of spells, Aiboike, who had become an arcanist, had already led people to control all members of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce, including slaves.
There was almost no resistance during the whole process. The two low-level mages hired by the Chamber of Commerce surrendered as soon as they saw Arcana, and also helped control several Chamber of Commerce stewards who were about to escape.
"The rest are under the control of the Chamber of Commerce for the time being. By the way, the man named Harvey, send it to the Mage Tower for me." Aiboke's previous words made everyone in the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce breathe a sigh of relief. They felt that the Saville Territory should not They will do everything right, but the last sentence made them nervous.
Especially Harvey, if he were not controlled by a spell, he would almost collapse to the ground and be sent to the wizard's tower. This sounds normal in normal times, but in this case, it is almost a tragedy.
Harvey didn't know what was waiting for him there, but he thought it wouldn't be a good treatment. His body couldn't move, and he could only desperately beg for mercy with his eyes.
But how could Ai Bo care about the eyes of a prisoner? After checking the Chamber of Commerce station, he did not find any useful information. Ai Bo could only return to the Mage Tower first and wait for the lord to return.
See if he has any new information. ...The Eastern Forest generally refers to the forest east of Netheril that is connected to the territory of Netheril. Farther east in the Eastern Forest, there is still a forest—a forest that is far broader and more delicate than the Eastern Forest.
This is the Cormanthor Forest, where the Elven Court is located. Of course, it is the Cormanthor Empire that now rules this vast territory.
The Elf King's Court has still become a place where the hermits, exiles, and losers of the struggle gather together for warmth. If it were not for the intervention of God and the strong opposition of some high-level mages, King Mian would have already ordered the expulsion of the Elf King's Court.
Under the high tower, in a quiet courtyard built by entwined trees, cups and plates were scattered. It seemed that a banquet had just been held here, and most of the guests had already left.
A handsome elf left the main seat and walked towards the pavilion not far from the courtyard. The trees actively opened their branches for him, and flowers bloomed under his feet.
When he arrived at the pavilion, a temporary woven wooden seat appeared beside him. When he sat down, the seats swayed slowly, echoing the rhythm of the wind.
Not long after, another elf came over. Without waiting for the branches of the trees to part, he waved them away. Compared to the one sitting there, this elf was much ruder.
But this kind of rudeness is only for elves. It is still a blessing for humans.
"Orlando, you are taking your time. Our friends have just sent news that humans are definitely going to open up the Green Bead Forest, but there are no clues about the Stardew Scepter yet. Aren't you anxious?" Although the elf's words later contained a hint of Blame, but coming out of the elf's mouth, the cadence was like singing a beautiful ballad.
"Fenovita, don't worry." Orlando raised his finger and pointed at the position opposite.
"Sit!" A wooden chair quietly appeared. After Fenowita sat down, a flower bud hung down from the back of the chair. It slowly opened and turned into a flower-shaped wine glass. It fell into his hand with an amber color. The wine trembled slightly and exuded a natural fragrance, which instantly dispelled Fenowita's irritable mood.
