Lord of Arcane

Chapter 390 Passive
Xia Duo turned his gaze to Eberke. He had never heard of such a strange situation, and he planned to listen to the elder's opinion first.

However, what he didn't expect was that Eberke's brows were furrowed at this moment, as if he had encountered some difficulty, Xia Duo couldn't help sending a message to ask: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this Cole?"

"No, this Cole just temporarily suppressed himself in the process of self-salvation, which is similar to the effect of a mind spell called [Mechanical Mind]. But—"

Eboke changed his voice and expressed his concern, "Lord Rodney's coveting of the Green Pearl Forest is the biggest mistake."

"What's wrong?" Xia Duo asked quickly.

"Rodney Territory is located in the southernmost part of Netherland's core area. The territory straddles both sides of the Netheril River. All cargo ships traveling to and from Savile Territory must pass through Rodney Territory!"

Xia Duo roughly made up a map. The core of Nether is Severton, which is also the northernmost. In the middle is Rodney Land, below is Savile Land, and to the east of Savile Land is the border trade city with the elves, Connie Phila.

The elves import metal ores from Netheril and rough jewelry, and export artworks such as paintings, statues, and jewelry, as well as practical items such as wine, spices, and magic items.

This is the part of Conifera and the elves.

There was also the trade between Conifera City and Savileland, and Netherland.

This part is mainly necessities such as living materials and food. The elves forbid humans to destroy the forest. In fact, the city of Conifera cannot be self-sufficient so far and relies entirely on supplies from the rear.

For such a large-scale trade, only a very small number of items with amazing value will be transported by magic, and the rest will be transported by water, land, or manual transportation.

The water route is from Severton to Savile Land, and the land route is from Savile Land to the east.

It can be said that Savile Land and Rodney Land are important nodes on this trade line, and in terms of importance, Savile Land is more important than Rodney Land.

Because the food in Conifera City is mainly provided by Savile Territory.

But just like the Saville leader dare not use food to make troubles, Rodney leader can't make use of geographical advantages to make troubles. After all, although the border trade city is dominated by a great arcanist, the interests are not his family.

Everyone's interests are the overall situation, who dares to go against the overall situation.

Therefore, Xia Duo wondered if this was a chain reaction caused by the Savile Land leaning towards the princess, or the Tower of Time left the Savile Land, which made people want to move.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly asked, "Which great arcanist is behind Rodney?"

"Probably not. The first lord of the Rodney Territory came from Kieran High Tower, but he went out independently to open up the Rodney Territory a long time ago. At that time, the Rodney Territory was also like the Savile Territory, far away from the core of Nether. It was only later that some people continued to open up the area, connecting Rodney Territory with the core area of ​​Nether."

As he spoke, Eberke also hesitated a little. For example, no matter how much the Savile leader shouted to be independent at the beginning, there was no grand arcanist in charge, so he turned to Her Royal Highness at the first sign of trouble.

Perhaps the abnormal behavior led by Rodney this time was at the behest of a certain grand arcanist, and this grand arcanist may not be on the same side as Her Royal Highness.

Eboke had no way of knowing the specific relationship between the great arcanists, and he did not dare to speculate casually, but Netheril had only fifteen great arcanists in total, counting them one by one, there was always one who was the instigator. By.

But right now is not the time to study this, so Eberke summoned Xiaduo, "This Cole has atoned for his sins, and staying in the territory is also a trouble, let him go."

Already redeemed?
Xia Duo thought of Cole's previous act of self-salvation, and of course he directly stated Lord Rodney's intention of the Green Pearl Forest. Perhaps this is what Eberke said "the sin has been redeemed".

So, should we let it go or not?

First of all, killing must not be possible. Perhaps at this moment, Cole is a pure and innocent believer in the eyes of the heavenly being. It is unknown if he is killed. This kind of awe is still necessary.

But if he let it go like this, he would be a little unwilling.

For a while, many thoughts appeared in Xia Duo's mind, intertwined with each other, and finally rationality prevailed, and he decided to follow the elder's advice—let it go.

Speaking of it this time, it was more like a business intrigue, but this time Xia Duo was not deceived, and he even felt that Cole was so careless and wanted to be the chief consultant, which was too mentally retarded.

But since Cole has already paid the price, he doesn't need to hold on to it.

As for Lord Rodney's coveted heart for the Green Pearl Forest, Xia Duo was also very helpless, because neither the Great Xia Territory nor the Savile Territory had substantial control over the Green Pearl Forest.

The default is the private land of Savile Territory, which is just an unspoken rule. Now some people break the unspoken rule, but this side is actually very passive.

It is indispensable to see a trick and dismantle it. It depends on what the other party does next.

Looking at Cole, who is still calm, without the slightest impatience, and even faintly showing awe, Xia Duo feels terrified no matter what he thinks.

With a wave of his hand, Layton deported him.

……

Afterwards, he and Eberke walked aside and talked about the Rodney Territory again. From Eberke's mouth, Xia Duo knew more about the situation of the Rodney Territory.

The Lord of this generation of Rodney is named Ozkar Rodney. It is said that he liked swordsmanship very much when he was young. Abandoned magic.

However, Ozkar is not famous for his swordsmanship, but for his ability to give birth.

Lord Rodney of the previous generation had only one child, Ozkar, but in this generation, few of Ozkar's children could be clearly counted.

Not because of secrecy, but because it's too much.

When Xia Duo first heard this, he thought he heard it wrong. A mage, or an arcanist, is not famous for magic, but for being able to give birth.

This is really too inconsistent.

He vaguely remembered that when he had just crossed over, he had heard adventurers talking about the northern rutting ram at the Old Neil Hotel. Could it be Lord Rodney?
Conquer the world by blood?
Thinking of the blood, Xia Duo quickly asked, "Do the Rodney family members have any special blood?"

If this is not the case, how can an ordinary person who was once obsessed with swordsmanship become an arcanist in the end?

However, his question was not answered by Eberke, and Xia Duo also felt that his thinking was too messy, and now the focus of attention should be on the relationship behind Rodney's collar.

At this point, Xia Duo also had the intention to end the conversation, "Let's stop here, I'm going to contact Niya to see if she can find out something through Her Royal Highness's relationship."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

After speaking, Abeck teleported away again.

Looking at Eberke who comes and goes like the wind, Xia Duo is full of envy. Of course, he will not be satisfied with the mere [Short-distance Teleportation], only the 5th ring [Teleportation] that really comes and goes like the wind is what he wants.

However, he is coming soon!
