Lord of Arcane

Chapter 945
"Xia Duo, go pick up the archmage for me, I'll wait for you here!"

"it is good!"

Xia Duo didn't hesitate too much, and immediately returned to the Tower of Time from the portal not far away, and behind him was the portal leading to Savile Town.

You can vaguely see the scene in the temporary barracks that maintain the portal on the other side of the portal. Of course, there are only blurred images, and the sound cannot be transmitted.

But as long as you have a full understanding of the portal spell, you can project the detection through the portal to the other side, so as to observe the situation on the other side.

Xia Duo once learned [Short-distance Portal] at an exchange meeting in Severton. It only has 5 rings, but it is a simplified version of the genuine 8-ring [Portal], and basically has all the necessary elements.

He himself knows how to observe the scene on the other side through the portal, but he just came from the other side, and there is no need to cast spells to understand.

……

At this moment, in the teleportation room that Xia Duo is in, apart from the activated portal on the wall behind him, there are five unactivated portals in the room.

Of course, it is more accurate to say that the portal base is located on the other three walls besides the door, and there are two on each wall.

Their role is mainly to maintain the portal to a fixed location for a long time.

Without these pedestals, the portal can also be used, but the duration is extremely limited, and it cannot play a good role in connecting Savile Town with the Tower of Time.

Generally, when a portal is used, it basically needs to be maintained for a long time. If it is used for a short time, direct teleportation may be more convenient.

In the very center of the room, there is a square platform about half a foot above the ground, on which are poured complex but very regular lines and patterns with precious metals such as mithril and gold.

This is the teleportation circle.

Just now, Niya has passed the temporary pass key here to Archmage Auron, so Xia Duo only needs to wait here for a while.

……

Soon, the magical aura of the teleportation circle began to tremble, and the aura that was originally white and clear like water suddenly became blurred, like a white mist.

Of course, this is just a vision in the magic vision. In the normal vision, the teleportation circle is also shining, but it does not affect Xia Duo's vision of the scene on the teleportation platform at all.

From the response of the teleportation circle to the end of the teleportation, it took almost only a blink of an eye, and the magic aura like white mist suddenly shrank.

Immediately afterwards, Archmage Auron, whom Xia Duo had met several times before, appeared on the teleportation platform, and with him was a bald spellcaster in a gray robe and a strange mask.

With just one glance at the other party, Xia Duo could tell that he was not a human being. If it was a human being, no one's eyes would glow, and it was a very strange red light.

Even in the magical world, Xia Duo has never seen anyone whose eyes can shine under normal conditions, so let's not think about it, it must be someone who is not a talent.

It's just that Xia Duo is not Fa Hai, so he doesn't dare to shout about any daring monsters here.

And the most important point, the moment Xia Duo saw the other person's eyes, Xia Duo felt a chilling feeling, not because of fear, but more like a kind of spiritual oppression.

This feeling is intuitive and metaphysical, but it is real, so Xia Duo has to deal with it carefully.

In fact, he had already recognized the identity of this special spellcaster who was personally accompanied by the princess' follower, Archmage Auron.

The opponent's iconic white long gloves, weird mask, and the skull emblem on the gray robe all announce to the outside world that he represents death.

This is indeed a servant, or priest, of the Lord of Death.

If Xia Duo guessed correctly, this person might have transformed into an undead creature, which made him feel even more indescribable.

In the past, he had heard that some death priests would voluntarily transform into undead creatures, but this practice was actually against the doctrine.

The Lord of Death witnesses and defends death, and believes that only death is the ultimate eternity, but he also respects life very much. He believes that the more wonderful a life is, the more glorious and great its death will be.

The lord of death is not a harvester of life. Therefore, killing or transforming undead creatures on a large scale is not allowed, even if he is a priest.

In fact, one of the long-term important duties of the death priest is to clean up the negative energy and undead creatures in the mortal world, and let the dead return to death.

Being able to become an undead creature while maintaining the status of a priest without losing the favor of the gods, then this one is really not easy!

Xia Duo was stunned, knowing that a big person might be coming to the Tower of Time. In the blink of an eye, he adjusted his mood (undead creatures are very sensitive to emotions), and bowed slightly to the two (?):
"Archmage Auron, and the loyal servant of the Lord of Death, welcome both of you to the Tower of Time!"

"Lord Xia Duo, long time no see!"

The priest didn't respond. Instead, Archmage Auron showed some enthusiasm and introduced to Xia Duo: "This is the High Priest of Morton, the legend of Severton. This time, he is entrusted by the council to deal with the murloc tide. event."

High Priest Morton?
Xia Duo quickly retrieved all the information behind the name in his mind with his extraordinary memory ability. Others, including his legendary status, are not important to Xia Duo, and they will not hinder him anyway.

There is only one thing that makes him very concerned——

The High Priest of Morton has mastered the magic of resurrection, and there are many resurrection cases that have been confirmed!
This is simply a walking money printing machine!

Although I don't know the specific price of the resurrection, as long as the technology is in hand, if you meet relatives and friends who can't let go of the deceased, isn't it just a random price!

Resurrection is an important skill of strategic significance that Xia Duo especially wants to obtain, but he also knows that it is almost impossible to obtain resurrection from a death priest.

Not to mention the difficulty of transforming from divine magic to arcane magic, the resurrection itself violates the doctrine of death, and the death priest cannot easily reveal it.

It's just that an undead creature is engaged in resurrection business, okay?
This is not good!
Before knowing that High Priest Morton was an undead creature, Xia Duo didn't feel anything, but when he saw High Priest Morton with his own eyes and recognized that the other party was most likely to be an undead creature, he always felt a little disobedient.

It feels like someone who runs a crematorium on earth but works part-time as a rescue worker, how can it not violate the harmony!

However, the scene couldn't get colder anymore, he quickly said: "Thank you High Priest Morton for supporting the southern border!"

But Morton still didn't respond in the slightest, but the red light in his eyes flashed twice. Xia Duo had never dealt with undead creatures. If another death priest was present to translate, maybe he could communicate cordially?

Of course there are no other priests here, but there is an Archmage Oron who can accompany Morton here, so he must be able to communicate, "Lord Xiaduo, High Priest Morton said that there is no need to thank him, the council gave enough remuneration!"

After a pause, Auron said again: "High Priest Morton asked you to take him to the river!"

"Okay! Both of you come this way!"

Xia Duo pointed to the open portal a few steps away, and made an inviting gesture. After the two followed, he walked in first.
