Lord of Arcane

Chapter 10 Escape
This is the last darkness before dawn. Although the dark environment is not conducive to escape, Shado is not a civilian with extremely simple recipes in Savile Town. He came from the earth and only stayed for more than half a year, which is not enough. to make him suffer from night blindness due to a lack of vitamins.

With the dim light of the stars and moon, Xia Duo could still see things, but the field of vision was not large.

It is estimated that in the eastern part of the town, the caravan going to Conifera to transport supplies should have already started to organize the convoy, and the opening of the gate of the eastern district will be more flexible than other gates.

The other gates are only opened after dawn.

What Xia Duo wanted to go to was the gate of the East District. It happened that the Lion and Fire Circus was listening outside the East Gate at the moment. Mu Yan might be a member of the circus, or he might just be living temporarily, but he should be able to be found there.

At this time, Xia Duo was like a person who fell into the water, desperately trying to grab anything around him, even if it was just a straw.

The second floor of the Old Neil Hotel was not too high from the ground, at least not as high as the second floor on Earth, but even if it was that high, Xia Duo had to escape from here.

Putting his hands on the window sill, Xia Duo first moved his body outside, and then lowered it little by little until his arms were stretched straight on the window sill. Xia Duo let go, and reduced the impact by squatting, and landed firmly on the edge of the window. on the ground.

Xia Duo curled up, leaned against the wall, and rubbed his heels and calves vigorously. The impact just now almost made him shout out. If there was a place to tie the rope upstairs, he would have used the bed sheet to rub the rope down. .

After a while, there was still some tingling under his feet, but Xia Duo couldn't take care of that much anymore, the more danger he would have if he stayed longer, he wouldn't pin his hopes on Old Neil's absolute compliance with the laws of the territory.

In fact, if this were the case, they would not want to make Xia Duo a slave together with others, and Xia Duo would not escape.

……

From the Old Neil Hotel in the South District to the East Gate, there are several paths to choose from, but Xardo only knows one, which is the one he took when he and Little Neil left the town yesterday. You must pass by the entrance of the Old Neil Hotel.

Old Neil slept in a room near the back kitchen at the door. Xia Duo deliberately slowed down when he passed by. Through the thin-soled linen shoes, Xia Duo could clearly feel the fine gravel on the flagstone road under his feet.

After passing the hotel door without any danger, Xia Duo's pace quickened a lot, but he did not exceed the limit of normal walking. He didn't want to cause any movement or anyone's suspicion.

Stay as calm as possible, as if at the moment he is not running away, but preparing for an outing out of town.

When we arrived in the East District, we could hear yelling in the distance. It was the caravan steward scolding the porters. When we got here, we were only the last step before we left the town. Xia Duo subconsciously slowed down.

The strange adventurer who talked to Old Neil before mentioned the "Gorgeous Chamber of Commerce", but he still remembered it in his heart.

If you rank everyone in Savile Town, the top one must be the lord, and he who owns the Mage Tower represents absolute dominance in Savile Town.

The second is the mages and priests. These professionals who have mastered extraordinary power or rely on gods behind their backs, even the mages and lords have to face them and give the professionals due treatment.

Once again, it is the Chamber of Commerce. Although it is not as strong as the business atmosphere on earth, money undoubtedly represents a kind of power. Whether it is to make friends with mages or train subordinates on their own, it is a good choice.

Not to mention that most of these chambers of commerce come from the core areas of the empire, and the relationship behind them even needs to be handled carefully by Lord Savile.

Under the Chamber of Commerce, you can also rank administrative officers, troops, adventurers, ordinary merchants, civilians, slaves, etc. in the territory.

Aliens who are not slaves can be considered similar to adventurers, except for elves. Even the most common elves can get preferential treatment in the upper echelons of the empire, so the lords disagree, but their posture is sufficient.

Only because of the powerful magic hard power and cultural soft power of the elf kingdom.

……

Xia Duo is not sure whether there is a Gorse Chamber of Commerce in the chamber of commerce that is loading the goods, although even if there is, he may not know Xia Duo.

But at this moment, Xia Duo didn't have any luck, just watched from a distance and didn't go forward. He was going to wait for these caravans to leave before leaving the town.

But everything has an accident, just when Xia Duo moved as far as possible to the door so that when there were chasing troops behind, he took the risk and rushed out of the town in front of the caravan, but when he moved to about 50 meters away from the caravan, a violent sound was heard. humming-

"If there is a situation, be alert!"

Hearing the sound, a tall and thin man leaning on the carriage immediately stood up, Zhang Gong aimed in the direction of Xia Duo, and at the same time, a strong man also jumped out with a shield, blocking the front.

Xia Duo saw more, a soft white light ball rose from the crowd, hovering 2 or 3 meters above his head, and because of this light ball, Xia Duo saw a mage-like person in the crowd, The left hand held a ruby-like thing, and the right hand pointed directly at Shado.

Xia Duo instantly felt a strong sense of threat, as if someone was holding a needle close to his forehead. Xia Duo had never encountered such a situation before, and he had more expectations for magic in his heart.

"Who is it! Come out!" the brawny man with the shield shouted to Xia Duo.

Xia Duo didn't dare to hesitate, for fear of being attacked by the other party, he came to the middle of the road from near the corner of the wall, and at the same time he lowered his voice and shouted: "I have no ill intentions, I am just passing by."

And just when Xia Duo was about to explain a few more words, a sinister voice came from his ear, "Don't move!"

Xia Duo was startled and didn't dare to move, because he felt that a sharp blade was on his waist. The rough linen shirt could not stop the sharp blade tip. Although he didn't really pierce it, he could already feel a faint stinging pain. sense.

When did you get touched by a rogue?And so fast!

However, the wanderer ignored Xia Duo's feelings and began to grope around Xia Duo. When he touched the gold coins, he smiled. Just when Xia Duo was worried that the gold coins would be taken away, the wanderer He touched the discarded iron dagger on Xia Duo's waist again.

After taking out the dagger, put it away, searched again, and then pushed Xia Duo and said, "Go!"

Helpless, Xia Duo had to follow his instructions and move forward, after all, the wanderer's dagger was still on Xia Duo's back.

Xia Duo walked on a mere 50-meter road, and it was extremely difficult for Xia Duo to walk. During this period, he also tried to strike up a conversation with the wanderer, but the wanderer who had never even shown his face remained silent, which made Xia Duo's heart more and more. down.

Shouldn't he just leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den? !
