In the reception room, Oripus suddenly fell silent. In fact, when he first arrived in the reception room, through the elves' keen perception of the magic network, he realized that this human lord and ordinary humans had a deeper connection with the magic network. .
But now that he saw Xia Duo leaving with his own eyes, he immediately realized that this human lord was actually an arcanist. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart, and at the same time he became more and more envious of human beings' magical talents.
Humans have a lifespan of less than a hundred years, but in these short years, they can achieve various magical achievements extremely quickly. If an elf can become a high mage before the age of a hundred, it is simply a miracle among miracles.
"Paddy, tell me about this Lord Shado!"
Oripus's understanding of Shado was limited to his identity as a lord and the [Arcane Puzzle] game. Oripus didn't take it to heart before, but now he wants to know more. .
…
On the other side, Chateau teleported to the temple. Brotto had not left yet and was chatting with Bishop Ambril. He looked a little listless. When he saw Chateau coming, he immediately became energetic:
"Xia Duo, do you still have that strong drink?"
"I'm not going back to the Tower of Time. Besides, it takes time to refine spirits. I'll give it to you tomorrow. I just got something good, and I just want to share it with you!"
With that said, Shado took out the can of tea given to him by the Oripus patriarch. As soon as he opened it, the strong fresh smell spread. Brotto couldn't help sneezing, but it was Bishop Ambril. He immediately stood up and said excitedly:
"This is 'Bonu Yuanye'! Did you just go to meet the elf?!"
"Huh -" Shado glanced at Bishop Ambril, "The bishop also knows about 'Bo Nu Yuan Ye'?"
"I know, how could I not know! I've seen it at Lord Epps's place, but he always hides it very tightly, and I only drank it once!"
That's it!
Xia Duo suddenly regretted taking it out, but he would not take it back on the spot. After all, his original purpose was to have Bishop Ambril identify it to see if there was any hidden plot.
When it comes to identifying poisons and curses, clerics have a greater advantage than mages.
Now it seems that the elf is quite sincere, and he probably didn't have any bad intentions. Xia Duo simply took out three cups, placed them in front of the two of them, grabbed a tea leaf one by one, and put them in.
At this moment, Bishop Ambril suddenly said, "If you add more, there will be no taste left in the drink!"
"Really?" Xia Duo was a little doubtful.
However, he still gave each person two more sticks, and Bishop Ambril was silent this time.
In fact, if the smell wasn't too penetrating, he would have followed the habit in his hometown and pinched out a handful instead of putting them out one by one like now.
Under the influence of magic, water diversion and heating became extremely simple. After a while, three cups of green tea soup appeared in front of the three of them. There were three unfolded leaves inside, which were dancing slowly and quite beautifully.
And at this time, the originally strong and penetrating smell became faint and vague, it really was like tea!
Xia Duo picked up the cup and brought it to his nose. He just sniffed it lightly and felt refreshed. Opposite him, Bishop Ambril couldn't wait to take a sip and let out a long "Ah——" the sound of.
However, Bishop Ambril immediately reacted, "I haven't drank this kind of raw leaf tea for a long time, I feel a little out of control."
Hearing this, Xia Duo couldn't help but look forward to the original leaf tea. He took a small sip. First, the tea itself was scalding hot, and then a strong cooling sensation burst out, hitting his forehead.
Fortunately, Bishop Ambril had demonstrated it personally, and Shado had drank a lot of ice cola and eaten a lot of mints on Earth, so he was still able to accept this level of stimulation.
After it cools down, it becomes warm again, like the temperature in the lower abdomen, which makes people linger.
"Good tea!" Xia Duo couldn't help but praise.
“Delicious!”
With the sound of the tea cup being placed on the table, the dwarf Broto also praised him. However, seeing how his cup was bare and even the tea leaves disappeared, Shado knew that it was a waste to let the dwarf taste the tea. .
After a while, when Chateau refilled his and Bishop Ambril's cups, Brotto was also dumbfounded. It turned out that this is how to drink raw leaf tea!
However, he didn't ask Xia Duo to give him another cup. Instead, he pretended not to care and said, "This tea is not as good as wine!"
These words were obviously untrue, and Shado naturally did not take them seriously, so he still prepared a new one for Brotto, "There is enough tea for today!"
After today, he will definitely hide the remaining tea tightly so that no one can drink it.
…
While drinking tea and chatting, time passed quickly. If there were no dragon disasters, drow, or other annoying things, Xia Duo really hoped that this leisurely life could continue forever.
But even in a hometown that has always been stable, not many people can enjoy this kind of leisure all the time, let alone in this dangerous magical world.
Of course, after such a long day of relaxation, Xia Duo adjusted his mentality, and then he was able to devote himself to work and life with more concentration and enthusiasm.
…
The next morning, Xia Duo practiced controlling two flying swords at the same time on the front line of territory development, making reasonable use of the charging time so that they could carry out uninterrupted attacks. Near noon, a reminder suddenly came from the tower spirit——
Niya is back!
Xia Duo has been waiting for news from Niya in the past few days, but Niya only received news on the first and second days after Midsummer Festival, and nothing since. Today is already the third day after Midsummer Festival. Seven days.
Unexpectedly, the news about Niya didn’t come back, and someone came back directly.
Xia Duo put away his flying sword and immediately returned to the Tower of Time. He met a worried Niya in the study, and Niya's first words after meeting made him feel anxious.
"It's really troublesome this time!"
"What's going on? Dragon disaster or drow?" Now all Xia Duo can think of are these two. If there are other situations, it will only be more troublesome.
"It's Drow!"
Niya sighed and explained slowly, "I just met the teacher. The teacher asked me to come back and prepare to receive the elf refugees. Maybe there are already elf refugees pouring into Conifera City now!"
"What?!"
Xia Duo was really shocked at this time. At noon yesterday, he had just met the elves of the Silver Leaf Family. They had just arrived from Conifera City yesterday morning. Unexpectedly, only one day had passed, and they were here again. Are there any elven refugees? !
So what's going on over there in Comanso? Will Zall come back?
Sha Duo quickly threw these questions to Niya. What he was prepared to do now was to deal with the dragon. If he wanted to deal with the drow, it was not something that a territory could handle.
"The teacher told me that the drow have conquered several Cormanthor cities and looted a lot of materials. Now they seem to want to build a permanent ground stronghold. The Seventon Council has agreed to support Cormanthor, and it's not just us. Even Irfaran offered assistance.”
"Too fast, too fast!"
Xia Duo couldn't help but murmured, it had been several months since the Drow appeared, and it was said that it had always been in a stalemate. Why did it suddenly break out like this?
"Niya, did Her Royal Highness the Princess mention why the Drow offensive broke out so suddenly? Could this be Cormanso's conspiracy?"
Chateau always had conspiracy theories about Cormanso, but before he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, "No, if it is really a conspiracy, it can be done in other ways. There is no need to use the people of one's own people." His life is an act, and King Cormanso is not a supreme being who always speaks the truth, so doing so will only cause him to lose his prestige."
"It's a dragon!"
Niya gave this explanation.
