Lord of Arcane

Chapter 977
Sevington, Old Town.

It was a rare leisure time before the celebration, Xia Duo took Niya to the beach north of Gilles Tower, wandering here, listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, only felt that time has slowed down a lot here.

The winter sea breeze blew on his face, but there was still a trace of warmth, which surprised Xia Duo who had never spent winter at the seaside.

This also made him gradually slow down his pace, until finally he stopped, turned to face the northern sea, raised his head so that he could better feel the warmth of the sea breeze.

Seeing this situation, Niya couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling, "Don't tell me that there is no sea in your hometown!"

"Of course, but my family doesn't live by the sea. Strictly speaking, this is the first time I've been so close to the sea!"

Xia Duo stretched his feet forward and touched the surging waves. In fact, before today, he also had the opportunity to come to the beach, but due to various reasons, he failed to achieve it.

In fact, if he hadn't happened to come to Sevington, he would never have thought of seeing the sea. After all, he cared too much about the sea, and the sea couldn't be ranked at all.

Maybe when the floating city is built in the future, you can take a long-term world tour with your family and see the strange scenery in various places. As for now, there is no need to force it.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but lose interest, glanced at Niya, and then continued to walk west along the beach.

"By the way, hasn't anything happened to Severton in recent days?"

"What can happen? Isn't it the challenge of the Cormanthor mages? In the past few days, several Nether mages have made a fool of themselves on the spot, but no one from the Seven Towers participated. Now the Cormanthor elves are so arrogant!"

"Ah."

Xia Duo nodded, and didn't continue to ask. He didn't have the idea of ​​being strong, but thought that the princess was planning a special ceremony involving many people and things.

And the Comanthor elf is like this now, what does he know, and he is deliberately sabotaging it?Or do you know nothing, just being insane all the time?

Reminiscent of the mysos and murlocs inexplicably appearing in Lake Mecht in the southern border, Comanthor should know nothing about it, but it may be a little short of the real key point.

Xia Duo took his perspective away and thought from a higher perspective. Comanso's actions may not be the final madness that he knew but could not stop.

Just wait for the celebration the day after tomorrow, everything will be clear then!
……

While the two were walking silently in the sea breeze, Niya suddenly asked, "Are you worried about the celebration the day after tomorrow?"

"Worried? How come?"

Being called out of his mind, even his own wife, Xia Duo was still a little flustered, and more importantly, he didn't want to show his weakness in front of Niya.

But after all, the two have been together for a long time, and they are very familiar with each other. Niya did not affirm or deny Xia Duo's words, but told her own thoughts:
"I'm very worried, in fact, I've been worried since the time when you pioneers were left on the demiplane.

"In previous years, there was no such New Year's celebration at all. Look at Severnton now. Although there are many more people than usual, there is not much festive atmosphere!

"The closer the celebration is now, the more worried I am, and I am worried that something unpredictable will happen then!"

Speaking of this, Niya stopped in her tracks and looked at Xia Duo with a serious expression, "I really regret coming to Severton now!"

Xia Duo sighed in his heart, knowing what Niya meant, he couldn't help feeling warm.

But some things are not so easy to escape. If he came to Severton, there might be a chance to escape, but now that the rehearsal is over, if he dares to run away, the princess probably has the heart to kill him!

"Don't worry too much, do you trust your teacher? Do you believe in the authority of the Seven Towers in Netheril? If you do, then there is no problem!"

These words are actually what Xia Duo comforted himself, but there is another sentence he did not say to Niya later, that is, if there is any accident, it must be earth-shattering. It's not impossible.

But the probability of that kind of situation happening is too small, and the consequences and impact are too serious, so Xia Duo didn't say anything.

"Okay, stop talking about these spoilers!"

He lightly bumped Niya's arm with his arm, and pointed to the city not far to the south, "Didn't you say you want to visit the old city? Let's go there now!"

"Don't you look at the sea?"

"You can watch the sea at any time, but if the treasure is bought by someone else, you will never get it again!" Xia Duo joked.

In fact, he is not very interested in the so-called leak detection.

Generally speaking, adventurers who can go deep into the relics are sponsored by spellcasters, or even personally involved. The relics that can flow out may have passed through many layers of sieves.

How can there be any fine jewels that can be picked up by those who missed it!

Taking a step back, even if you can find some high-quality goods, it is just an extra layer of ancient filters, which may not be better than the current ones.

If you want to actually pick up a relic item that is still a high-end product today, the probability is not much higher than winning the first prize by buying a lottery on Earth.

However, there are often rumors of someone picking up leaks in Severton. Niya is not deeply involved in the world, so she will naturally feel that I can do it if I hear it too much, but Xia Duo is not like this.

……

Following Niya all the way from the beach to the southwest corner of the old city, the two stopped at the entrance of a small shop without a signboard.

The doors and windows of this small store face west, and the not-so-wide storefront is almost crowded with small stalls for adventurers. They are said to be stalls, but they are actually a piece of gray cloth two or three feet square, filled with various gadgets.

But in the end, it was Niya who found the leak. Even without using magic vision, Xia Duo found a lot of magic items. Of course, there are more ordinary items.

However, there are too few people here, apart from him and Niya, two newcomers, and five or six adventurer stall owners, there are almost no other guests.

"Niya, are you sure someone picked up good things here?"

"Of course I'm sure, Belleira bought a mithril jewelry here, and she discovered a brand new element unit from that jewelry, and created a new spell because of it!"

Of course, it is impossible to say such words directly in front of the stall owner. Niya summoned Xia Duo, and there was even a hint of excitement in her words.

It was so!
Xia Duo suddenly realized that there is still a big difference between the experience of someone around you and the gossip.

Of course, this is still a game of probability, maybe the probability is higher, but he still doesn't like this kind of game of fighting chance.

However, as long as Niya is happy, she doesn't need the money anyway.
