Arcane Lord

There was a young man helping out at the Old Neil Hotel at the same time as Sha Duo, but that young man only served the dishes and washed the vegetables, and had 2 silver coins every day, while Sha Duo not only had to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but also had to Serving dishes, moving wine barrels, and cleaning upstairs and downstairs.

Working continuously from morning to night, with almost no pause, even learning Common Language with Junior was like squeezing out toothpaste. After these six months of "experience", Xia Duo clearly feels that he has become a lot stronger.

At this time, Junior Neil wants to go to the circus outside the town to see the Trolls, and he wants to drag Sha Duo along to see it. He may not have any malicious intentions, but this kind of thing may change some of his ideas in the hands of Old Neil.

For some reason, Xia Duo was still a little inexplicably excited. Maybe falling out with Old Neil was the best choice. He could already survive alone in Savile Territory, but his reason told him that he couldn't do it yet and wait a little longer.

"Isn't there Marin there to help? Let's just take a look, just a look, it won't waste much time." Xiao Neil held on to Xia Duo's sleeve. He had just grown up this year, and he was still a little playful and playful. Use Marin as a shield.

Marin is another young man who helps out at Old Neil's Inn, but today is Midsummer and there are so many guests that he can't be busy by himself. Maybe Aunt Susan, who cooks in the kitchen, will come out to help.

In this case, it was impossible for Old Neil to stay out of the situation. Originally, he only had to sell wine and collect money at the front desk, but now he had to be busy.

Xia Duo really didn't want to offend Old Neil at this time. He just wanted to spend these three days smoothly and wait for the assessment results to come out. If he passed, he would live in the mage tower. If he failed, he wouldn't be able to live there immediately. Just leave Old Neil's hotel.

"What if Old Neil finds out? Don't cry if you are beaten." Xia Duo threatened.

Although Old Neil squeezed Xia Duo, he was not very tolerant towards his own son, but he just had to do whatever he wanted. If he didn't obey, and if he couldn't fight alone, he would drag Aunt Susan together to play mixed doubles.

Marin, on the other hand, is the son of a meat supplier in the store, so although the salary is not high (higher than Xia Duo), at least the work he does is easier.

If the two of them did not return to the store to help after the assessment this time, but went to see the circus and Old Neil found out about it, Xia Duo was just trying to reduce his favorability and increase his disfavor with Old Neil. The final result is still to come. , but Junior is definitely going to have a meal of mixed doubles immediately.

After listening to Xia Duo's words, Xiao Neil subconsciously shrank his head and loosened his grip on Xia Duo's sleeves, feeling a little depressed.

"Okay, let's go and see it tomorrow." Sha Duo said.

In fact, even if he went to see it tomorrow, Xia Duo would not be willing to go. In this continent of Faerûn, which is full of various magical powers, Xia Duo instinctively does not want to be exposed to things that he does not understand.

Watching Trolls might satisfy your momentary curiosity, but what else? What can be gained? If the circus is not controlled properly and a troll jumps up and eats him, who will he ask to reason with?

Xia Duo didn't care what Junior Neil thought, and pulled him towards the south road. After just two steps, Junior reacted, "We are going to take the assessment. We have the final say on how long the assessment will take." , go play for a while, if you don’t tell me, and I don’t tell you, who knows?”

What Xiao Neil said seems to make some sense. At least Xia Duo didn't see anyone he knew during the assessment in the Mage Tower. Judging from the demeanor and clothing of the young people who participated in the assessment, almost none of them were ordinary people. .

And those people were also very indifferent to Xia Duo and Xiao Neil. No one took the initiative to talk to them. Those people all had their own circles.

Obviously, the servants of the Mage Tower are not just servants, otherwise there would be no need for assessments. In Xia Duo's view, those assessments are more like selecting apprentices. Most of the questions focus on thinking ability rather than the servant's obedience. Sex, physical strength, work skills and so on.

This may be the beginning of mage training. After all, there are still only a few families who can really afford to send their children to learn magic. At least there are not many such rich people near Old Neil's Hotel, which is the southern area where adventurers are concentrated.

The people there are either childless or have no money. If they had money, they would have bought land, bought slaves for farming, or started doing business. Who is willing to work hard to do the precarious job of an adventurer?

There is a saying that is often circulated among adventurers - "After we finish this trip, we will find a noble to join us."

Or "After this trip, we will buy a piece of land and put down roots."

But people who say these words often have no good results. In the past six months alone, at least a dozen of the people Xia Duo knew went to the southern forest and never came back.

Xiao Neil said that no one knew when the assessment would end. Xia Duo knew this was impossible, but did not refute it.

Seeing that Xia Duo was silent, Xiao Neil became excited again, "Great, let's go see the Trolls!"

As he said that, he looked at Xia Duo expectantly. He knew that if Xia Duo didn't go, even if he went by himself, he wouldn't be able to escape a mixed doubles fight when he went back later. Only two people could hide it if they went together.

Xia Duo also thought about it seriously at this time and thought that it would be okay to go. Of course, his main purpose was not to see the trolls. What was there to see about the trolls? He had even seen several elves, so he had no shortage of things to see. A troll.

In fact, Xia Duo was considering whether to test Old Neil once. Perhaps he was speculating on Old Neil with the greatest malice, but coming to another world alone, no one could be too cautious.

At least if you think about it from another perspective, Xia Duo, in Old Neil's situation, would not let go of a cheap or even free laborer who was unaccompanied in Savile Town.

The "hide" of the noble children has been almost exposed in the past six months, and even if it is a noble child, how much deterrence can a noble child who cannot even speak the common language of Netheril have in the Netheril Empire? ?

Judging from the change in Old Neil's attitude in the recent period, it is likely that he has some small thoughts, but what exactly they are, Xia Duo is not sure yet, and it is not a good thing anyway.

Obviously, going to see the circus outside the town with Junior Neil can't be hidden from Old Neil. A little trial like this can also make plans in advance. Xia Duo doesn't want to fall into some inexplicable luck.

Old Neil helped him integrate into the local area, and he was very grateful, but if he were asked to give up the opportunity to control his own destiny and stay in a small hotel as a coolie all his life, he would never be able to do it.

"Okay, but don't let it slip when you get back." Sha Duo said.

"Great, let's go!"

Sha Duo followed Xiao Neil's pull and walked east. To be honest, for more than half a year after arriving in Savile Town, his activities were almost limited to the vicinity of Old Neil's Hotel in the southern part of the town.

Today is the first time that he has walked so far. First he went to the mage tower in the northwest of the town, then crossed half of the town, and now he is going to the east, leaving the town to see the circus. Xia Duo looked at everything on the road greedily. It was full of freshness for him.

From the words of the adventurers who ate and stayed at the Old Neil Hotel, Shado knew the general layout of Savile Town. There were also houses, shops, etc. in the east, but unlike other areas, the east area had a special area for The bulk material purchasing area in Conifera City.
