Chapter 56: Ava's Strength
"Apprentice, where are you going?"
Xia Duo hurriedly turned around, but he didn't even find a figure, but the voice was still in his ears, "I heard that you want to find me?" β
Is it Ava? Xia Duo looked back and still found nothing, although the afterglow of Amanata was still not dissipating at this moment, Xia Duo felt extremely dark.
A drop of cold sweat slowly slipped down from the corner of his forehead, and Xia Duo hurriedly spoke, "Ava, is it you?" β
But there was no response from anyone.
As the sun set below the horizon, Shado could clearly see the shadows in the corners of the wall rushing towards him, a feeling that reminded him of the morning of the day he escaped from the old Neil's inn.
He was also approached by a wanderer, the only good thing was that Ava didn't hold a dagger to his back like the wanderer.
Of course, Shado believed that with Ava's uncanny abilities just now, it would be easy to do this, and he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope.
"Ava?" Xia Duo shouted again.
But there was still no response.
Seeing that if you turn another corner, you can see the stone building where Master Horst is, but it is stuck here, and Xia Duo has a feeling that it is difficult to ride a tiger at this moment.
It was clear that Ava didn't want Shado to go to the official mage, but when he returned, Shado was reluctant to do so.
After weighing left and right, Xia Duo decided to follow his choice - to return to the camp, but before leaving, he wanted to test it.
Concentrate and enter the state of concentration of spell casting, Xia Duo carefully observes the state of the magic net around him.
The existence of any life is closely related to the magic net, even the most ordinary breath can cause fluctuations in the structure of the magic net, but these fluctuations are extremely weak and difficult for ordinary people to detect.
But mages are not very human, although they can't even detect such weak fluctuations in breathing, but the existence of life itself is not difficult to detect.
As long as they are in a state of concentration, the lives close to the mage can be detected by the mage from the fluctuations of the magic web.
Just now, Xia Duo was just suddenly approached from behind, and turned around and didn't notice anyone, which was a little panicked, but now that reason was back in his brain, Xia Duo didn't think that Ava would dare to kill him here.
Of course, there is no need for him to provoke.
That's why there was such a temptation, in a state of concentration, Xia Duo obviously felt that there was a slight disturbance in the magic net less than a step behind him, which was characterized by the performance of someone there.
Xia Duo turned his head suddenly, although his eyes did not see the figure, but he sensed that the "shadow" in the magic net suddenly moved, and followed Xia Duo's movements, and turned to his back again.
All fears lie only in the unknown.
When Xia Duo knew that Ava was not really elusive, but just moved faster than Xia Duo and turned his head, Xia Duo's fear in his heart was greatly reduced, and he even thought of several ways to deal with it.
It's just that he can't stay focused for long, and Shado isn't sure how effective these coping methods will be, so he doesn't want to turn against Ava.
Without revealing Ava's location, Xia Duo pretended not to find anything, and turned his head a few more times, "seeing" the other party jumping back and forth like a monkey, and the depression in Xia Duo's heart was slightly relieved.
β¦β¦
On the way back to the camp, Shado had been thinking about Ava, and now in this situation, it is not like a conflict, but there is a gap for sure.
Now Xia Duo is afraid that Ava will give him a moment during the mission, how can this be resolved?
Before you know it, you have reached the camp, and at this time the sun has completely set below the horizon, and a figure is in the way of Xia Duo.
"Shado!"
"Sammy? Why are you here? β
"Devaen and I came to you to study the [Communication] together, and the orc tide is about to start, and I haven't been able to release it once!"
Xia Duo suddenly had a headache, the matter of Ava had not been resolved here, and Sammy's [Communication] problem came again, "Didn't you copy everything on the study scroll?" How's it goingβ"
I'm embarrassed to call them stupid, but the tone is not much worse.
However, Sammy's focus was obviously not on this, and he said in surprise: "You have learned [Communication]?!" β
"Well, I learned."
"Great!" Sammy asked, "Can we ask you then?" β
"Of course, I also have some questions for you." Xia Duo readily agreed.
If it was in the Mage Tower, Xia Duo would definitely have to collect money, but now that he is outside, it is better to change some useful information, besides, Sami They are also Xia Duo's only partner and there is still a difference from Dean.
Back in his room in the camp, Devann was already waiting there, and when Sammy said that Shado was willing to instruct them in [teleportation], he immediately expressed his gratitude to Shado.
The discussion began in such a harmonious atmosphere, and in this way Sami and Devane were asking Shado about spells, and Shado would ask Sammy and them about issues other than spells.
Sammy's problem was not that they couldn't understand the principles of the spell, but that there were errors in the application, and after Xia Duo's reminder, they quickly succeeded in casting the [Communication].
In addition to understanding the principle, the mastery of a spell also requires a lot of practice, and now that the three of them are there, they will practice communication with each other as the target.
Of course, during this period, it was also indispensable to leave secret imprints for each other, and on formal occasions, the esoteric imprints left by Xia Duo and Sami were no longer graffiti-like smiley face patterns.
Rather, it is a Chinese character for "ε€", surrounded by a circle, resembling a personal seal on the earth.
The content of the three of them focused on cultivating and communicating through the arcane imprint, after all, in the wild, it was impossible for both of them to be in each other's field of vision at all times.
Moreover, the distance of positioning and teleportation through the arcane imprint is also farther, how far it is, the three of them have not tried it for the time being, but before the mission begins, it is definitely necessary to determine this.
"Xia Duo, we have to go back, otherwise it will be troublesome to run into night patrols."
"Good. That's right, Sammy. Xia Duo suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have any adventurers in your team?" β
"Yes, add three adventurers."
"Do you know their details?"
"I don't know, but it should be credible to be able to join the army with confidence." Speaking of this, Sammy suddenly lowered his throat, looked left and right, and said mysteriously:
"I went home in the afternoon, and I heard my father say that many of the armed forces of the Chamber of Commerce want to follow the lord to participate in frontal battles, and some adventurers with criminal records or thorns are also, our next mission is quite safe, you don't have to worry too much."
Shado nodded, believing Captain Gibb's statement that Ava was credible, but it was impossible to let his guard down.
Then, Devane also told him what he had learned when he returned today.
"My father told me that the head of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce in the Savile Territory accidentally fell into the water not long ago because he refused to hand over the Chamber of Commerce's arms."
Dewann accentuated his tone on the "accident", Xia Duo understood in seconds, but his focus was not on falling into the water, but-
Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce?
