Lord of Arcane

Chapter 85
pat-

A string of sparks suddenly popped out of a firewood in the bonfire. Xia Duo raised his head, rubbed his stiff neck, and rubbed his cold hands again, preparing to continue studying the spell notes.

Just as he lowered his head, Xia Duo suddenly caught a glimpse of a vigorous figure in the corner of his eyes. In the distance, Xia Duo immediately became alert, lowered his voice, and shouted: "There is a situation!"

The bored Dean immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Jibu also ran over and attached great importance to Xia Duo's reminder, but they had arranged for people to be vigilant around, and no one except Xia Duo saw the figure.

Xia Duo called Aiwa, Aiwa also expressed his innocence, high-level wanderers also only have a pair of eyes, it is impossible to observe all directions at the same time, "Master Xiaduo, could it be that you are wrong, I didn't hear anything just now Unusual sound."

"Impossible, I can still tell if it's an illusion, Captain Gib, and inform everyone to be vigilant and prepare for battle."

After arranging the temporary camp, Xia Duo pointed to the direction where he found the mysterious figure, and said to Aiwa, "Aiwa, go check there and see if there are any strange traces."

With Shado's prestige, although the others hesitated, they still obeyed the order.When Aiwa went to investigate, Shado also organized his belongings, especially hand crossbows, daggers and scroll boxes.

There are ten poisoned arrows in total. Five were used in the previous battle, and now there are five left, just to fill the crossbow box. The dagger is also poisoned, but the chances of being able to use it are not estimated.

As for the magic scrolls distributed above, there was only one [Magic Weapon] scroll left, as well as some of Shado's homemade [Brightening Technique] scrolls. The rest were used up in the previous weak battles.

As for spells, Shado feels that coping with a battle should not be a problem.

He saw Aiwa squatting on the ground to check something from a distance, then carefully took a few steps in one direction, and squatted again to check.

For some reason, Xia Duo suddenly felt that things had become complicated.

Soon, Aiwa came back. Xia Duo couldn't see any result from his expression. Just as he was about to ask, Aiwa looked at him with a strange look, "Master Xado, there are indeed some traces there."

"What traces? Orcs or humans?" Xia Duo asked impatiently. He just saw a momentary figure when he was far away, but he couldn't tell what race it was, whether it was an enemy or a friend.

"Neither orc nor human."

"What's that? Is it a genie?" Dean laughed. "How could a genie be here!"

But Xia Duo, who heard this, thought about it seriously. He had seen the elf with his own eyes. The figure just now was very strong, and it was not impossible to say that it was an elf.

He turned his gaze to Aiwa and motioned for him to continue.

Aiwa did not directly state the conclusion, but described the results of his examination——

"There are only four or five very shallow traces there, and you can't even see the appearance of footprints. If it wasn't for Master Shado who must have seen the figure of a humanoid creature, I would even think it was a branch hitting a dead leaf. There are traces left."

"If you look at humanoids, what kind of creatures do you think might have caused them?" Shado asked.

Aiwa hesitated for a moment, but replied, "Actually, whether it is human, elves, or any other race, it is possible to do it."

"why?"

"Because if the four or five traces were left by living creatures, ordinary people or ordinary elves can do it, only professionals with extremely high agility can do it, and there are only those four or five abnormal traces on the scene, which is another It's something that those high agility professionals can't do, I think there should be a magic factor in it."

Aiwa didn't say anything after that. Shado calculated in his heart that to leave such traces requires high agility, and leaving only those few traces may require magic.

This almost points directly to the sprite.

Humans have a limited lifespan. Whether it is a wanderer or a mage, they basically concentrate on their own fields. It is almost impossible to take care of both at the same time.

How many wizards are willing to be trained by rogues for many years?It's better to study magic if you have time!
Such a very unlikely person will appear in the Green Pearl Forest?Xia Duo didn't quite believe it. On the contrary, the elves might be bigger, have a long lifespan, and have enough time and energy to study cross-domain things.

Moreover, in Savile Territory, and even in the entire Netheril, it is not difficult to see elves. Many elves like to take risks and travel in the human world.

In a small place like Saville, Shado had seen the elves once in less than a year after crossing over.

For elves, Xia Duo neither has any special favors nor dislikes, but he knows that elves will not easily embarrass human beings.

Xia Duo has basically decided that the mysterious figure is an elf. Thinking so, Xia Duo is ready to let everyone off the guard.

At this moment, Aiwa suddenly said, "Someone is coming!"

This made Xia Duo's heart lift again, and he quickly asked, "In which direction?"

Aiwa pointed to the west, "In that direction, about 3 to 40 meters."

"Are you sure you're human?"

Xia Duo was already a little irritated by these sudden situations, "How many people are there?"

"It's definitely human, there's only one person!"

As if to prove his own judgment, Aiwa also mentioned a few details of the person who came out. "The figure is lower than average, and the footsteps are slow. It should be an ordinary person who has not received training."

Although according to Aiwa's judgment, the person who came was just an ordinary person, Xia Duoke did not relax at all. What was he doing alone in the forest on such a cold day?

And it's still in the west. The one who led Xia Duo and the others to blame was a mage apprentice. He was chased and killed alone. Obviously, his teammates had already died.

In this case, people from the west are very suspicious.

Xia Duo expressed his judgment and told others to remain vigilant and wait for the arrival of that human being.

……

On the other side, Master Kenny dragged his exhausted body slowly in the forest, and finally got rid of the pursuer, but because of excessive spellcasting, he could not enter the spellcasting state.

After running for a long time, even with the support of magic, his physical energy has already reached the limit, and the inability to enter the casting state means that the spell cannot be used and the dimension bag cannot be opened.

And this also means that when he is cold, hungry, and his physical strength reaches the limit, he can't get any support. He is tired, hungry, and extremely cold. Master Kenny feels that he is about to die.

He now regrets agreeing to Old Neil's deal, and perhaps directly threatening Old Neil to hand over the location of the ruins is the best choice.

Ironically, his only survival target is the one he originally wanted to kill.
