Of course, for Xia Duo, what his name is secondary, the key is what the situation in the Faren Continent is, which is what he cares about.

Nesserel, what a familiar name!

It's also the kingdom he's in now.

There are many legends about Nessriel in one of the games that Chardo loved before he crossed over, the most famous of which is of course the Arcanist, the Floating City, and the final death of Karsus.

When Xia Duo was helping out at Old Neil's inn, he asked many adventurers on the side, but the answer he got was only - there were Arcanists in the Empire, but there was no floating city, or any flying city, and even those adventurers took Xia Duo's words as a joke and spread them in the inn.

"Xia Duo who fantasizes about looking for Flying City", this name has also spread in a small area.

This made Xia Duo shocked and angry, for fear of attracting some great power, but there was nothing to do, those adventurers would not care about him as a "down-and-out noble child", and even old Neil also-

Thinking of the old Neil, whose attitude has gradually changed recently, Xia Duo felt a little chill in his heart, and his left hand subconsciously touched his left waist, where there was a dagger hidden under the hem of his clothes, which was barely usable after Xia Duo's secret polishing.

Being in another world, he was too insecure.

Fortunately, the current Nessera is not the era of the floating city, and there is enough time for Xia Duo to grow, grow enough to participate in that magnificent era, and even become the trendsetter of the times.

……

"Shado, what are you thinking? Let's go see the trolls! ”

The blonde Neil pulled on Chardo's clothes and squeezed through the crowded square to the southeast, where the way back to the inn was the same way to the circus outside town.

Looking at Little Neil, who had just come of age and didn't have much of a city mansion, Xia Duo thought of the past six months, when Little Neil taught him the lingua franca and taught him to fish in the river outside the town.

……

In the southeast corner of the square, to the east is the way out of town to see the circus, and to the south is the road back to the old Neil Hotel, where a large pile of dry firewood is at the intersection of the two roads, and a group of half-grown children are sprinkling spices on the pyre.

This is for the evening bonfire.

Colorful spices dyed the pyres a strange color, and an old man in sackcloth was smiling and watching all this, and with a slight movement of his fingers, a small figure made of spice powder appeared in the middle of the children, causing them to chase and fight.

However, Xia Duo noticed that although the old man had a smile on his face, his forehead was already covered with fine sweat, and even his body was trembling a little, this was a lame old mage.

Of course, the formal title is not even enough for mage apprentices, but Xia Duo is still willing to call these people who can cast spells mages.

He had seen this scene many times in the past six months in Savile Town, and every time he saw it, Xia Duo couldn't help but envy that an ordinary person could even perform tricks.

It's a pity that this old man wasted his talent, and when he was old, he could only perform one or two tricks to tease children.

Magic is not out of reach in the Empire, and perhaps the old woman selling bread on the corner will play a trick with one or two hands, but only the true mages can represent the mystery and power of magic.

The elves bring magic, but the Chromolytes do not have the talent of the elves, and most people may only be able to play two-handed tricks after working hard all their lives, which does not help them in the slightest.

Survival is the biggest problem for the current Chromace, and more than 800 years after the birth of the Empire, but still struggling with the wilderness, what's the use of wasting a lifetime to learn a trick to make your hair shine or make dust fly?

Most Chromophoes don't choose the Mage Path even if they're able to perform tricks before they reach adulthood, unless they're lucky enough to meet a teacher who is willing to teach them for free.

And the more people who can't perform tricks before adulthood are even less likely to choose the path of a mage.

Xia Duo is an earthling, and he was already an adult before he came to Faerun, so he couldn't talk about playing tricks before adulthood, but he didn't give up.

Because the final success of a mage is not determined by whether or not they can cast spells before adulthood, many famous mages in the empire do not even start learning magic after the age of 30, and achieve success in just a few years.

Being in a foreign land, perhaps only magic can give Xia more confidence to continue living, and for this confidence, Xia Duo will not hesitate to pay any price.

Life is precious, if you can get magic by believing in the gods and sacrificing to the devil, Xia Duo will not hesitate to do it, but he has inquired, the goddess of magic never gives magic because of faith, only commends someone for a breakthrough in the field of magic.

The other gods also need to identify with and practice the ideas of the gods in order to gain the power of divine magic, and even if Xia Duo is willing to do so, it is difficult to recognize the teachings of those gods from the bottom of his heart, unless there is a god of scientific practice or a god of omniscient truth.

As for the devil, Xia Duo hasn't heard anyone talk about it, maybe he has too few things to come into contact with, and how much knowledge about the devil can those adventurers who go outside the town every day to hunt goblins and beasts and collect materials?

But now there is an opportunity, the mage lord of Savile Town is recruiting servants, although it is only a servant, but this is already the easiest opportunity to approach magic, those who can play tricks in Savile Town will not teach people how to cast spells, otherwise they would have been able to start classes to make money.

Standing here on the street corner, Xia Duo couldn't help but look back and look northwest, although he could see it every day, but once again looking at the tall, dark mage tower in the northwest of the town, he couldn't help but marvel.

At this time, a magic rune emitting a blue glow was suspended on the top of the mage tower, blue light and darkness were intertwined and fluctuated, as if a living creature was breathing regularly, Xia Duo, who had learned to recognize the rune on the top of the tower from adventurers, knew that it represented the time of the moment - just past noon.

"Don't look at it, the results will be available in three days, if we can pass the assessment, we will be able to live there in the future, now let's go see the trolls with me." Neil again brought up going to the east gate of town to see the trolls.

Xia Duo was a little embarrassed, "Neil, why don't you go again tomorrow, today is the Midsummer Festival, those adventurers are idle, old Neil must be very busy at this time, let's go back and help first." ”

Thinking of the scene when he told Old Neil in the morning that he was going to participate in the assessment of the Mage Tower, the expression on Old Neil's face was too exciting, of course Xia Duo knew, because Little Neil leaked the assessment to him, so he also wanted to participate in the assessment, but in this way, there were two fewer helpers in the store at the same time today, and Old Neil was of course unhappy.

And at a deeper level, Xia Duo guessed that once he passed the test, he would not help in the inn in the future, and there were not many people like Xia Duo who could be satisfied with only 1 silver coin a day in the entire Saville territory.

Of course, it's not that Xia Duo is easy to speak, it's just that he couldn't understand words at the beginning, and when he first arrived, the old Neil family also helped him integrate into the empire smoothly, so he didn't care about the salary comparable to that of coolies.
