Chapter 218: Temptation

To date, he already owes thousands of gold to the Pativ Raoliaton Chamber of Commerce, and more to come for the foreseeable future.

Even if the sacred contract is not considered, Xia Duo himself has a bottom line, and he still has to pay it back. As for Hans, Shining Gold, and the Slevin Chamber of Commerce, because they need cash settlement, Xia Duo also needs to prepare cash, and the only way he can raise cash now is to sell the scroll to the Mage Tower, or borrow it from the Liaden Chamber of Commerce.

For the time being, Xia Duo still prefers the former, which is a loophole in the contract, he can't sell scrolls to other chambers of commerce or merchants, but the mage tower is not a chamber of commerce, nor is it a merchant.

…… Tower of Time, Material Claim Office. Here, Shado surprisingly meets several mages, and their purpose is the same as that of Shado, to sell the scrolls.

The news of the Savile Leader's quest to open up the Green Bead Forest had been spreading for months, and in order to motivate the members of the Tower of Time to create a scroll in the acquisition list.

The lord has specially opened up related tasks, such as Xia Duo can use the sale of scrolls to offset the previous promotion task indicators, and others can also use the sale of scrolls in exchange for the exchange of certain magical knowledge.

As long as a mid-level mage does a few fewer experiments, the spells saved are as good as all of the beginner-level mages.

After putting away the exchange voucher for 1,000 gold coins, Xia Duo exchanged a few words of greeting with these enthusiastic mages before returning to his residence.

Next, all he had to do was to wait for the news of the Saville Leader's development team, as well as prepare for the Great Xia Leader's development.

The scroll must be continued, and this is almost the only way to make money for Xia Duo at the moment, and it can't be easily put down.

And even if he has money, Xia Duo will probably not stop, after all, scrolls can make up for the caster's lack of spells, maybe making scrolls is the ultimate daily routine of every mage.

…… Three later, the edge of the green bead forest. Thousands of young people took the axes, firewood knives and other tools distributed above, and began to clear the plants at the edge of the forest, and there were people in the rear who were responsible for transportation and patrols, a busy scene.

Heading south from the cleared location, several field mages each led a few hundred soldiers into the forest, clearing them of any threatening creatures they came across—timberwolves, bears, hyenas, goblins, rats, bats, snakes, and more.

But even if there were no creatures that posed no threat to humans, the soldiers drove them south so that they did not interfere with the clean-up in the rear.

And on the branches of the tall trees that a human soldier had just passed, two elves watched in silence, and one of the younger ones said indignantly, "I hear the forest crying!" These damn evil creatures! ”

"Karrick, calm down! Don't let emotions dominate your mind! These human beings are disrespectful to the forest, and they will definitely receive the backlash from the forest! As if to confirm his words, a human soldier not far away suddenly hugged his legs and wailed, but before he could scream, he was silent.

The elf Karrick seemed to be happy, and hurriedly asked, "Captain, did you do it?" ”

"No, it's the punishment of the forest. Let's go, go to the next place. With that, the elven captain jumped to another tree, and behind him, the elf Karrick leaped over with great agility and lightness.

…… The top floor of the Tower of Time. Now sitting behind her desk, holding a communication device in her hand, she asked in the voice of Lord Epps, but the next few news made her frown.

Interrupting the communication, Nia picked up a piece of paper on the table, drew a few strokes on it, and then left her chair to walk to Lord Epps beside her.

After hesitating for a few moments, he finally spoke: "Father, the soldiers in front have already suffered a lot of casualties, do you see if-"

"Isn't it what?" Lord Epps suddenly stared at Nia,

"You're questioning my decision?"

"Nope." Niya hurriedly explained,

"Father, I just don't think there's any need to be so radical, and no one is forcing us to open up." Niya is actually soft-hearted, the soldiers in the territory are not cold numbers, they are also living people, and there are families behind them waiting for them to protect.

Alas—Epps sighed softly, stood up, took a stack of parchment from the shelf, and placed it in Nia's hand,

"Look!" He has great expectations for his daughter, Niya is very endowed, in all senses, but after all, she is still too young and still needs to be honed.

Nia took the paper, and on it was some information that was superficial, such as the possible coveting of territory behind Fairbers' death, such as the hostility that might be encountered after throwing herself into the princess.

There are also some unconventional methods in the territory, such as the head of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce in Savile Territory who accidentally fell into the water during the orc tide last year, and a certain merchant who was about to transfer his assets to Connefila City but died of an unexpected illness.

Nia's eyes widened, she had never thought that her father, who had always been fair and majestic, would have such a side, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable growing up in the Mage Tower.

At this time, Lord Epps continued: "The development of the territory is in line with the development plan of Her Royal Highness the Princess, since it has been thrown into the princess, then we must show something, and the people who covet the territory will also have some scruples after seeing it." "Of course, what Epps doesn't have is that, except for these, the most important thing is to test the elven mages in the forest, and compared to this one is secondary.

With such a fierce development of the forest, if the elven mage really wants to do it, he will also send a few foreign mages over, and it will depend on the next result!

Looking at Nia's thoughtful expression, Epps added: "I'll let Bergart come to see you, and besides, from now on, all orders are not allowed to use my voice." "Epps is determined to push Nia up, and Belgat is the president of the Saville Adventurers' Guild and his follower.

But Belgat's true identity is Epps's eyes that secretly monitor the state of the territory, and the assassination who solves his troubles.

It is true that magic can do many things that ordinary people can't, but there are also many things that magic can't do, at least not with Epps's magical abilities.

Putting Bergart in the hands of Nia, Epps can be regarded as letting go of a matter, even if there is a real accident, it will not affect the normal transmission of the territory, except for the handover of personnel, there are also some secrets, once he dies unexpectedly, there will be Taling to hand over.

Relieved, Epps gave up the room directly to Nia, and he was ready to concentrate on studying magic, even if Eber's revelation was true.

But as long as he can become an archmage, he will definitely be able to deal with it a lot, and being hit by an elven magic does not mean that he will definitely die, and Epps still has this confidence.
