Lord of Arcane

Chapter 455 Test
Although the crowd dispersed, the pregnant female mayor still left an old man behind for Xia Duo, saying that she could ask this old man named Old Qiao to find her whenever necessary.

Xia Duo didn't refuse, and just took a group of soldiers and Old Qiao to look around the town. The town was very small, and it was no different from the impression he had just seen from outside.

It hardly looks like a normal town, with no shops and no entertainment facilities, only rows of uniform wooden houses. It is really a dormitory area of ​​a collective farm.

Xia Duo has been projected into the Arcane Empire for some time, but he has never been to the villages and towns below, and he doesn't know if the situation here is normal.

As for "Eddie"'s memory, there are only childcare centers, apprentice schools, and magic schools. There is no memory of villages and towns at all, and more precisely, there are no more memories of ordinary people.

After walking around this "dormitory area" twice, the men from Heishi Town came back, one by one holding tools, with their upper bodies bare, sweat drenched on their heads and bodies, as if they had really worked outside for a long time.

At this time, the detection spell still hadn't disappeared, but Xia Duo had already roughly determined the direction of the caster behind him——

Just in the direction he came from, maybe in the city of Zilan!
With this judgment, Xia Duo's thoughts came alive. Perhaps all of this was completely overthinking. If he was substituted into the role of "Eddie", what would he do?
Thinking about it this way, the matter was much simpler, let the returned men also go home, and then Xia Duo came to the mayor's house.

At this time, apart from the mayor, the pregnant woman, there are two more men in the family, who just came back, but at this time, Xia Duo has already excluded his own cognition, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it from Eddie's perspective. of.

- [Inquiry]!
From the perspective of magic, Xia Duo clearly saw a faint aura appearing within a range of about one meter from the center of the source of the spell, completely covering the target he wanted to inquire, a bit similar to that of the main plane Layton. 【The Realm of Honesty】.

However, the effectiveness may not be as good. This is the first time Xia Duo has used psychic spells on humans. He is actually not sure how effective it is. After all, it involves the fields of mind and will. Xia Duo has not studied deeply, but "Eddie" shouldn't doubt it.

"Mayor Tess, let me ask you, are there any other strangers in the town besides us recently?"

"No."

"Why is there no childcare center in the town?"

"Before you arrived, I just left."

"Are the men in the town really building roads?"

"it is true."

Asked here, Xia Duo actually already has the answer in his heart, but the last key question still needs to be asked, "Have you heard of the 'Mother Goddess of Creation'?"

"No."

There is nothing abnormal about the magic aura, and there is not even the slightest abnormality in the expression. If it can be disguised to this extent, "Eddie" will definitely not be able to see it.

Of course, Xia Duo himself can't see anything unusual, except for the strange feeling of seeing the town from his inherent cognition, but he really agrees with the question and answer with the mayor.

Then, he randomly selected two families, and also cast the spell [Inquiry], and the results were all normal.

Just when he was about to take further measures, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear, "It's ok, the mission is over, come back!"

The interrogator was Osk, the Chief Inquisitor of Kieran City that Xia Duo had just met not long ago. Only then, Xia Duo was completely sure that the so-called peeping was entirely done by Osk.

If this is the premise, then maybe this mission is just a test for him to join the Second Tribunal.

As for what to test, it is actually not difficult to guess, as long as you put it into the perspective of "Eddie" and compare your own judgment, you will almost understand.

Perhaps there will be more tests in the future.

……

Back in the second court of Zilan City, Xia Duo handed over the task, and was told that there was still a task tomorrow, but there was only one task document for today's task, which was different from a "Devil Demon Handbook".

While being informed of the mission, Xia Duo also received a ring of lightness, an official judge's robe (magic item, not the previous one), and a whole box of magic scrolls.

"Look at the preparations. Could it be that tomorrow will be a combat mission?"

However, when he saw that more than half of the scroll box was filled with [Inquiry] scrolls, Xia Duo felt that he was wrong again.

Back at the residence, Xia Duo started his own research after beating the ten women who posted up. On the surface, there were books and manuscripts related to trial spells on the desk. spend on it.

In order to avoid surveillance that may appear at any time, Xia Duo put the real research site in the portable space.

Psychic spells are indeed very useful, and he is indeed very interested. With his magical attainments as a high-level mage, his research progress has long been beyond the scope of normal graduates. He has time to do other things.

It's like learning the pre-requisite courses for advanced arcanists.

Of course, since discovering that the magic knowledge here is relatively open, Xia Duo has decided to put the advanced level slightly behind, and the priority of acquiring knowledge is slightly earlier.

That's why he behaved actively, hoping to obtain better authority, otherwise, he would just fish like Charlie.

Although the Arcane Empire does not set up any obstacles in the acquisition of knowledge, basically you can get it by applying, but the higher the authority, the wider the scope you can apply for, and the less restrictions you will be subject to.

As for entering the library to study by yourself, it is also a good choice, but the problem is that all spellcasters in the Arcane Empire are "civil servants", and they are no longer as "free" as they were when they were students.

Moreover, there is another most critical problem, that is - there is no library in Zilan City!

This is what Xia Duo didn't know until he arrived in Zilan City.

Libraries are only available in various colleges. If you want to go there, you must pass through the teleportation circle of the Teleportation Department. This is not only a matter of time, but also a matter of points and permissions.

In short, if an imperial mage wants to gain more knowledge and more freedom, there is basically only one way to choose, and that is to climb up.

In addition to political achievements, the most important thing is magic attainments. After all, it is an arcane empire. As long as you become an arcanist, you can have everything.

But this is something that Xia Duo can't show immediately. If he behaves too much, he will only attract his own censorship. If he is really an aboriginal like "Eddie", it doesn't matter, but as an outsider, he knows very well that he can't stand it. Strict scrutiny.

All geniuses who can only maintain normal design should avoid becoming monsters and attract censorship, but at the same time, they must pay more attention to their political achievements in order to get promoted as soon as possible and obtain higher authority.

At the very least, the salary points must be able to afford to go to the teleportation circle in the academy library.

Otherwise, what are you, an ordinary judge, applying for non-main knowledge and spells all day long!Isn't this looking for a review!
