Lord of Arcane

Chapter 66 The Undead Field Mage
He turned around and stared at Aiwa in shock, "This is—an undead creature?!"

After that, without waiting for Aiwa to answer, he carefully observed the black-robed "person".

Just from the opening of the black-robed "person"'s clothes, Xia Duo saw the white bones, and he didn't even need to enter the spell-casting concentration state. To check whether there was any negative energy left on the black-robed "person", he almost believed that this was an undead creature. .

Aiwa just said that the situation is a bit special. What could be more special than an undead creature?Coupled with the words he said before entering the door, Shado was even more convinced that this was an undead creature.

Of course, a formal confirmation is also indispensable. Xia Duo immediately entered a state of focus on casting spells. The skeleton covered in black robes in front of him was slowly but constantly emitting strands of negative energy from his body.

As he got closer, Xia Duo realized that the dilapidated and rotten aura he had smelled earlier came from this black-robed "person". When Xia Duo got closer, he felt that the air seemed to become a little colder.

This is indeed an undead creature.

Of course, it is now truly and completely dead.

"Mage Shado, we should leave." At this time, Aiwa reminded politely.

"Oh, yes, yes, leave."

Xia Duo also realized that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to disturb anything in the house at all, and walked out of the house quickly. As soon as he came out of the house, Xia Duo's heart suddenly lightened. He had never felt that the early winter sunshine would be so warm.

"so close!"

Xia Duo couldn't help but be afraid. When he was in the room just now, he had already been unconsciously affected by negative energy, but the subtle influence was hard to prevent.

If it wasn't for Aiwa's reminder, he might still want to study the remains of the undead creature.

In that case, it will be further eroded by negative energy.

……

Back in the team, Shado ordered everyone to set off immediately.

As the team got closer and closer to Savile Town, Xia Duo was a little relieved. He guessed that the outside attacker might be found by Old Neil, but after knowing that it was an undead creature, Xia Duo was full of doubts.

Just because Old Neil was an ordinary person who opened a hotel in the southern district, it was difficult for Shado to associate him with undead creatures.

This makes the assassin's motives very bizarre.

Xia Duo consciously came to Savile Town for almost a year, and always kept a low profile. How could someone send undead to kill him?

What kind of hatred is this!
Can't figure it out, can't figure it out!
Moreover, except for a very small number of undead creatures that awaken on their own, generally speaking, they will have a master who can actually control them, and this master is usually a mage.

So the question is, Xia Duo doesn't even provoke ordinary people, how could he provoke a mage?
Reminiscent of several official mages who have had an intersection, are they?Or are they against each other?Or was it just a passing mage looking at her unhappy and deliberately leaving only a skeleton to deal with him?

So after the skeleton failed, why didn't the person behind the skeleton jump out and continue to kill him?

Too many doubts made Xia Duo's mind unable to turn around for a while.

"Shado."

"Shado!"

"Ah?!" Xia Duo whispered, his thoughts just happened to be lost by Dean, and he said angrily, "Dean, what's the matter with you?"

Dean leaned towards Shado and whispered, "What happened to the assassin before? Why did you and Aiwa pass by for a while, and you have been absent-minded since you came back?"

Xia Duo is not going to publicize the discovery or even killing of undead creatures, so as not to irritate the unknown mage, he plans to report to the above quietly after he returns.

In any case, being assassinated by an undead creature is a matter of life and death, and reporting it to the top is a safer approach.

An unknown mage, no matter what the consideration, hides in the dark and stares at him. The only place he can ask for help is the mage tower.

As for Dean's question, Xia Duo gave a sloppy look, "The traces left by the assassin are a bit strange, Aiwa let me take a look."

Dean was dubious about this answer, but he couldn't find any reason to keep asking, so he had to give up.

After being noticed by Dean's absent-mindedness, Shado pretended to be nonchalant.It was just the pressure of the unknown mage that made him feel particularly heavy, which was in stark contrast to the ease when he set off.

……

On the other side, the Old Neil Hotel, on the second floor.

Old Neil, who had been ruled out by Xia Duo, was now very respectfully receiving a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman. Although the middle-aged man was dressed as a businessman, his every move revealed a strangeness. style.

With Old Neil's knowledge, he certainly couldn't tell that the person in front of him was deliberately imitating the Arcanist in the core area of ​​the empire. Although his movements were a little pretentious, in Old Neil's eyes, he seemed extremely brilliant, far beyond the territory. of any wizard.

His attitude became more and more respectful, "Sir, what are your instructions for coming to me?"

"Haha. Do you know that it is because of your false information that I lost a servant?"

When Old Neil heard this, the expression on his face froze for a moment, and the next second he knelt down on the ground and kept explaining, "Sir, that kid is really just an apprentice, he has only joined the Mage Tower for a few months, and he is by his side. There are only some ordinary soldiers, and the elites have long been transferred out by the lord."

"Well, then do you know that there is a high-level rogue by his side?"

There was no joy or anger in the middle-aged mage's voice, but it made Old Neil even more worried, "High-high-level wanderer, this-this is definitely an accident, I know that kid, he is an outsider, It is absolutely impossible to know any high-level rogues."

"So, you think I'm lying?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Old Neil shook his head quickly. Although he did suspect that the middle-aged mage was lying, he didn't dare to say it directly. When he brought this mage back from outside the day before yesterday, he had experienced this mage. The magic of the mage-

As soon as they raised their hands, a group of goblins rushing towards them instantly fell to the ground and turned into a pile of terrifying mummified corpses.

If possible, he would rather not have encountered this very dangerous foreign mage.

"I need compensation."

Hearing this, Old Neil was finally relieved, took a deep breath, and hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, I will definitely give the adults satisfactory compensation."

Old Neil was thinking about how much blood he would bleed this time!I don't have much money at home, do you want to hire someone to borrow some?

"I want that necklace around your neck!"

The indifferent words of the middle-aged mage brought Old Neil back to reality in an instant, and the "necklace" made Old Neil subconsciously touch his chest, and the almost questioning words also blurted out.

"Sir, how do you know—"

But then Old Neil was silent, his eyes glanced back and forth on the ground, and he secretly hated, but he couldn't say anything if he refused.
