Arcane Lord

A few days passed by in a flash. That afternoon, Xia Duo, who had just come out of the cemetery and walked to the Altar Square, suddenly looked up at the sky. The clouds that had accumulated for five or six days finally began to snow.

At first, it was only as big as a grain of rice, and even turned into water droplets before it floated to the ground. Xia Duo felt the scattered water droplets falling, and accelerated his pace.

Last night, the old shaman of the Kabu tribe died. Today, under the personal auspices of Sha Duo, he was buried in the Linshui Village Cemetery.

The sudden death of the old shaman caused these Langas people to lose the backbone of their faith, and being in a completely unfamiliar environment made them even more worried and confused.

After all, they were his quasi-subjects, so Xia Duohao calmed them down and asked Leiden to send a batch of supplies for the winter.

Returning to the small camp, Xia Duo began to pack his things. It was already the last day of December, the year 835 of the Nese calendar was about to pass, and tomorrow was the new year.

The lord's villa has been basically completed, only the interior and exterior decorations are needed. However, Xia Duo is ready to move in now with the arrival of the New Year.

It happened that the first phase planning of Linshui Village had been roughly completed. The southern and northern areas of Shentan Square were residential areas, and the west side faced the river. His small tent was quite an eyesore on the east side.

Removing it now allows Leiden to move his office, material warehouse, etc. here, and a little further east here is Xia Duo's lord's villa, so it is more convenient to report nearby.

There is basically nothing to pack in the small tent, just some furniture, clothing, and important items that Xia Duo carries with him. With his dimensional bag and carry-on space, he can almost bring his home with him.

After putting away the pile of documents that Leiden had sent to him on the desk and the clothes on the bed, he called for people to move, and he himself came to the villa.

The craftsmen responsible for the construction have already left, and the craftsmen responsible for the decoration will not come until spring. A soldier named Norman is guarding here.

"Lord Lord."

Xia Duo nodded and did not reply. He had just received the prompt from the tower spirit, and news came from Niya. She had inquired about the situation of the Golden Elephant Branch Order——

It was a Druid order operating near Severington. These people had always been xenophobic, and it was difficult for outsiders to find out the news. They only knew that something had happened to the Order of the Golden Branch not long ago, and all its members had disappeared. .

All gone? Shado frowned. Didn't Atwood say that he was exiled? Why did the person who exiled others also disappear?

For a moment, Shado became a little interested in the conflict of ideas mentioned by Atwood. Could it be the "change" mentioned in Niya's summons?

An accident caused the entire Golden Branch Order to disappear?

Atwood revealed very little, and the information Niya sent back was unclear. Shado had no choice but to summon him again, clearly stating that a Druid from the Golden Branch Order came to the territory, and asked Niya for her opinion. .

After the summons, Niya did not send back the news immediately, and it was probably a long wait. This method of communication, which had gone through many twists and turns, made Xia Duo very unhappy. It was really inconvenient.

This is still a mage. If he were an ordinary person and wanted to contact Severton from Linshui Village, he would have to go back and forth for several months.

No wonder Lord Doleson of the Hawke Territory invented a brand new communication spell that caused the Arcane Federation to come to discuss the suitability of its introduction. He didn’t know what the new spell was.

But Sha Duo really wanted an advanced instant messaging spell at the moment.

He himself has some ideas, but the [Mage Armor] level upgrade has not yet been completed, and he has not yet become a high-level mage, so he can't care about communication spells at all.

"Oh, time, why are you so short of it?"

Xia Duo thought about the projection plane, but in November and December, for two whole months, the plane exploration array of the Tower of Time did not find any projection plane, and it might be even longer in the future.

The training of a star mage cannot be accomplished in a day or two, it is really troublesome!

But he was unwilling to use the arcane crystals to consume at the Arcane Law Federation.

Arcane crystals do not fall from the sky. Only arcanists accumulate arcane energy day after day to form arcane crystals. They have a wide range of uses, are priceless, and are more precious and rarer than mithril.

Even thinking about it, I feel like I am losing money by spending a lot of money to use someone else's equipment even though I already have it at home.

…

Not long after, Xia Duo had settled in the new villa. Although it still looked a bit rough, living here even gave him a feeling of home compared to a temporary tent.

It was in this atmosphere that Xia Duo showed unprecedented concentration.

Unknowingly, the sky had darkened, and the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, carrying the wind from the forest and even blowing into Xia Duo's bedroom. Only when they hit the pages of the book turned into small droplets of water did Xia Duo return. Come to your senses.

it's dark.

No windows.

But neither of these can trouble him. When it gets dark, there is magic lighting, but there are no windows. He can temporarily block the windows with wooden blocks. If the territory is lacking other things, is there still a shortage of wood?

The biggest advantage of being a lord is that you have a group of subordinates who can solve most trivial matters. Directly summon Norman who was standing guard outside and ask him to go to the wooden house manufacturing workshop and find a suitable piece of wood.

At this moment, another news came from the tower spirit, but it was not news from Niya, but——

Discovered a new dimension!

Xia Duo felt excited and stood up subconsciously. What he discovered was not the projection plane, but the real sub-plane!

"this--"

He didn't know how to describe his feelings. He only knew that there were a few words swirling in his mind at the moment -

Farming in other worlds, colonizing planes, and conquering the heavens!

As Xia Duo walked back and forth in the room, his mood gradually calmed down, and his rationality regained the upper hand. It was indeed a good thing to discover new dimensions, but the problem was that the Tower of Time did not have the ability to open up other dimensions.

Even if it is possible, another issue must be considered, and that is whether this plane has also been discovered by other forces. If so, it is basically out of the question.

Currently, there are only a few great arcanist mage towers that have plane exploration arrays. In comparison, the strength of the Tower of Time is simply negligible.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo discovered that the sub-plane with higher value was not as real to him as the projection plane.

"It's worthless!"

But no matter what, he still had to go back to the Tower of Time to take a look. After contacting Leiden, the two had a tacit understanding. After a few brief instructions, Sha Duo called the tower spirit to guide the transmission.

…

Tower of Time, Teleportation Room.

As soon as he walked out of the teleportation room, Xia Duo noticed the familiar fluctuations of the magic network coming from behind him. When he turned around, Niya was back. Niya saw Sha Duo just in front with a surprised expression, and then shouted:

"Shado!"

"You're back too? Because of the secondary dimension?" Sha Duo said with a smile.

Judging from the way Niya was in a hurry, she must have rushed back as soon as she received the news.
