Ava certainly remembers Shado, not to mention the contact he had with him when he was recruited last year. Last month in the Arcane Competition, Savile was the only one to win
Who doesn’t know about the new mage with the title of “Pioneering”! But he didn't think there would be any intersection between the two now.
"Master Xia Duo? What does he want from me? Is it something to you?" As he looked at Jibu, a hint of doubt gradually appeared in his eyes, not the kind of doubt about good and evil, but about what Jibu said. Do things that please people with suspicion.
Ava believes that Gibb means no harm to him, but sometimes good intentions can be troublesome, and he has already experienced this.
"No, I haven't told him about you. It's Master Xia Duo who wants to hire you as an instructor of his territorial guard." Jibu explained at first, but then he sighed and said lonelyly: "Ai Wa, haven’t you given up on that matter yet? Give up! After so many years, it’s time to think about it for those of us who are still alive!”
"No! I will never give up!" Ava's attitude was very decisive. He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and murmured,
"I will never forget that bloody afternoon, when my family was tortured to death by those beasts above my head!" Perhaps Ava's voice infected Gibb, and Gibb also began to recall,
"Yes, I can't forget it. If it hadn't been for me, I happened to go to play with you and was driven into the Linjiao by Uncle Ladd, so I wouldn't be where I am now! It's just that my family -" Speaking of family, Jibu I suddenly woke up a lot,
"Aivar, the orcs have been defeated now, can't you live a normal life?"
"Normal life? Haha!" Ava asked back,
"Like you, marrying a wife, giving birth to a child, and then secretly lamenting at night that those who have lost our relatives and enemies are living a happy life?"
"You have killed many people over the years, that's enough! It's time to stop! Uncle Ladd doesn't want to see you drowned in hatred!"
"No, it's not enough! The biggest culprit is still alive and well, how could I stop!"
"Alas -" Gibb knew that once Ava decided something, it would be difficult to change it. Similar conversations had been held countless times in the past, but he still wanted to say: "You can kill such a person." Are you talking? It’s been ten years, how many ten years of life can be wasted, let it go, even if you kill him, our relatives will not come back, but your life will be in vain!" Yes, where is such a big shot? You can kill anyone you want, no matter how tight the protection is. Even if you are lucky enough to succeed, can you still escape the pursuit of the mages?
After joining the Saville Army for nearly ten years, Gibb knew very well what those mages could do, and he believed that Ava, who had spent a long time in the core area of the empire, knew better than him.
He couldn't just watch his friend and brother die! Seeing that Gibb was still thinking of something else, Ava quickly interrupted him,
"That Master Xia Duo you just asked me for has something to do with me. What exactly is it?"
"Master Xia Duo has acquired a territory in the Green Pearl Forest, and he wants to hire you as an instructor of the territory guard."
"Instructor? What are you teaching?" Although Xia Duo didn't understand clearly, Gibb still noticed something.
"I guess he wants you to teach the Guardsmen how to use magic items."
"Teach this?" Ava was very doubtful. It is not that simple for ordinary people to learn to use magic. Among other things, the magic scrolls used for practice alone require a lot of gold coins.
"Are you sure this is it? That Master Xia Duo is very rich? It's impossible, he was just an apprentice last year!" Ava has only seen formal guards armed with magic items in some prosperous territories in the mainland. , but here?
Even the Savile Territory doesn't have such a magic guard, so how can a newly expanded territory afford it?
"This -" Gibb hesitated for a moment, then,
"It should be so. Master Shado mentioned before that the guards were equipped with magic scrolls." And it was a magic scroll that was close to that of a goblin killer. Gibb thought to himself. He had seen Shado cast that sound spell several times, and most of the goblins were against it. There was no resistance at all, and they were so frightened that they collapsed when they heard the sound.
"Ava, do you want to try?"
"Let me think about it." Ava did not refuse directly after all. But Gibb understood what he meant in an instant, but still said,
"Currently, Master Xia Duo's territory is still quite large, but who knows that it will never develop into something like Savile Territory in the future! By then, your revenge may be easier."
"No, you don't understand-" Ava's voice trailed off. His old friend's vision is still a little brighter. Once what he wants to do is accomplished, even Lord Savile may not be able to keep him, let alone a territory whose future is uncertain!
Furthermore, even if he is willing to continue to wait, his enemy will definitely survive until that point. If he cannot complete his revenge while his enemy is still alive, then what is the meaning of all his efforts before that!
After that, Ava did not continue on this topic, but talked about their current situation with each other. After a while, Ava walked out of the room carrying a bulging money bag and left quickly.
Behind him, Lina yelled and scolded, and Gibb's submissive voice came. Ava smiled knowingly, poured the gravel in his wallet on the roadside, and resumed his original indifferent expression of not letting strangers in.
...Two days later, Midsummer Day. The festive atmosphere begins to become feverish when the sun rises in the morning, and the square is crowded with all kinds of tourists.
Many villagers living outside the town even brought their families here just to soak up some of the sacred aura of the Lord of Glory.
This is the only day of the year where spellcasters, adventurers, big businessmen, traders, farmers, craftsmen, and even slaves, all gather together in an almost classless carnival.
The clergy preached doctrines, the mages performed magic, the adventurers showed off their muscles, and the merchants gave away some worthless things to tourists.
Performances performed by more people, displays displayed, this is not only a carnival for everyone, but also a gift from mortals to the Lord of Glory.
In the Tower of Time, the fanatical atmosphere outside seemed to have filtered in. Most of the apprentices had already left, but some mages seemed to be reserved. It was not until nearly noon that they walked out of the mage tower and participated in the carnival of Zheng Xia Duoye. Among them, the nature of his fun is very shallow. He wants to go outside the town to see if the Lion and Fire Circus is coming, and to see if Mu Yan is coming!
Squeezing through the crowded crowd, Xia Duo casually released a few bunches of magic fireworks, causing everyone around to cheer, but it became even more crowded!
Someone kept shouting,
"another one!"
"One more!" If it were normal, no one would dare to order an official mage like this, but now it seems that the crowd around them gave them courage, or maybe it was the fanatical atmosphere that made them like this.
It's just a trick, even the clergy of the Lord of Radiance are being tricked
"Besieged", Xia Duo could only satisfy them. If it weren't for the special control on spell casting in the Tower of the Present, he really wanted to use [Levitation Technique] to fly directly over the crowd!
Now - we can only squeeze out slowly! Xia Duo even regretted changing into a robe instead of dressing up as an adventurer!
