Lord of Arcane

Chapter 817 Exposing and Escaping from Dragos
In the corner of the spacious, gorgeous, and brightly lit Helien Courtyard, Xia Duo hid in the shadows, carefully looking at the golden elves who were pushing a glass of wine not far away.

The banquet, which lasted until dawn, seemed to be for a certain distinguished guest. During the banquet, almost all the elves were paying respect, admiration, awe, and even flattery to the distinguished guest.

Xia Duo didn't know the identity of the honored guest hosted by the Helien family, but he knew that as long as the banquet was ruined, a lot of "hatred" would definitely be drawn.

But in front of so many elves, and most likely in front of many mages, Xia Duo was worried that it might be difficult to escape if he acted rashly, so he decided to observe again.

"Hahahaha!"

Just when Xia Duo was hesitating whether to make a move, there was a sudden burst of laughter from the banquet, Xia Duo heard the sound and looked.

It seemed that the honored guest had told some joke, which caused all the elves of the Herion family to burst into laughter.

Xia Duo couldn't help getting closer again, trying to hear what they were talking about.

But when he was a few steps away from the banquet, he heard the distinguished guest suddenly say, "I'm just saying, that little guy can't help but come over and eavesdrop, you see—"

brat?eavesdrop?

Hearing this, Xia Duodun felt bad. Sure enough, the next moment, he found that the magic net around him seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. Down.

"Ah! Drow!"

Some members of the Herion family screamed and stood up in horror, as if they would come here immediately if something went wrong, but most of them sat calmly and calmly, only looking at the distinguished guest who just spoke.

At the same time, Xia Duo, who realized that he had been exposed, activated the [Teleportation Mark] on his body almost without hesitation.

This spell is a pre-cast spell. In essence, he has already completed the teleportation, but he is forced to stay in place. As long as he "gives up resistance", he will immediately teleport to the location of the mark he reserved in advance.

Under normal circumstances, even [Dimensional Anchor] would have difficulty blocking such a teleportation spell.

But now, Xia Duo was at a loss. The distinguished guest just now was definitely a powerful mage. He could even find him in the shadows. It is not impossible to block the teleportation effect of the [Teleportation Mark] pre-cast.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen. The sudden change in the scenery in front of him made him realize that he finally left smoothly.

Just leaving is not really safe, he quickly erased the traces of the teleportation just now, and continued to teleport.

……

At the same time, the Herien family was at the banquet.

Patriarch Herien looked at the distinguished guest in surprise, with an exaggerated expression, "My lord, that drow just escaped just like that?!"

He knew that the real identity of this distinguished guest was an incomparably honorable high mage, and he came to Herien City to inform him about some important situations only because of his old relationship with his uncle.

But I didn't expect that this lord had already found Drow out, but for some reason he let him go again.

He didn't dare to question the patriarch Herien. He could only remind the other party by asking. Letting go of a drow who might hear their plan would probably have a negative impact on the plan.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Thorn said in a flat tone, and then glanced at the elves with different expressions at the banquet, his interest immediately dropped to the extreme, so he said, "I still have something to do, so I won't bother you any more!"

After speaking, he got up and wanted to leave.

This frightened Patriarch Herien, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, but the Herien family's hospitality is not good enough? Please stay for one more day, my lord. We must satisfy you."

"No need, I am very satisfied with the hospitality of the Helien family. For your uncle's sake, I would like to remind you one last thing, the big event is approaching, take control of Helien City as soon as possible, I want only one voice to exist here!"

"Yes, yes! My lord, the only voice in Herien City is to support the Dragos family, the great Dragos family for thousands of years!"

"very good!"

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Thorn was in a pretty good mood, but he still felt a little irritable when he thought about the next task.

Ignoring the slightly deliberate flattery of Patriarch Herrien, Thorn left.

……

On the other side, Xia Duo, who has been teleporting many times in a hurry, has lost his position. The only thing he can be sure of is that he is still in the territory of Sluvand.

It's just that the map brought up from the Underdark region doesn't include the entire territory of Shruvand, only the part near the underground passage is more detailed.

"Damn!"

Xia Duo cursed secretly, before he had time to check his current location in detail, he chose the farthest fuzzy teleportation again.

After leaving Herrien City, his luck seemed to be exhausted. Not only was there the invisible pressure brought by the mysterious guest of the Herrien family that was weighing on his heart, but also the real pressure from Domtos City. Uninterrupted search in place.

The so-called detection spell is actually very similar to the radar on the earth.

In the case that the technical level is not much different, if one party can detect the target, then the target will also be aware of the detection.

As for evasion, hiding, and camouflage, they are not out of the scope of scouting spells in essence, they are just different applications of perception fields.

The problem in Domtos City is not big. Although it is annoying to keep searching, it is still within the scope of his response.

As long as the detection avoidance spell on him doesn't fail for a day, the opponent won't be able to determine his true location for a day.

But the mysterious guest of the Herrien family was not so easy to deal with.

Xia Duo just discovered that the tricks he did at the previous pause position were triggered, which means that the opponent has already chased him!
Although he has erased all traces of teleportation that he thought, the problem is that he has no way of knowing what special means the golden elf mage has.

What's more serious, it is very likely that the other party is just teasing him, but in fact, he has already discovered his current location, and he can be directly teleported to him.

This kind of profound uncertainty brought great pressure on Xia Duo.

The other party touched what he did before, no matter what the other party's psychology is, Xia Duo can only assume that the other party has not discovered his true location, and should continue running.

Until he is really sure of safety, or the other party jumps directly in front of him.

……

So far, Xia Duo has only been transferred by means of teleportation, and the hands and feet left behind have been triggered several times in succession. He finally determined——

That distinguished guest of the Herion family was able to trace his teleportation traces.

For a moment, Xia Duo was a little panicked and a little excited at the same time.The panic is naturally worried that he will be caught up, and the excitement is that if he can know the opponent's tracking method, he may be able to improve his teleportation spell.

Of course, if there are improvements in detection spells and perception fields, that would be even better!
