At present, the combat spell system of Xia Duoren is centered on protection and mobility, followed by breaking spells and damage, and when improving the spell ring level, protection and mobility are also prioritized.

Therefore, when choosing the first spell to raise the ring level, Xia Duo had two choices, one was to upgrade the [Mage Armor] to 5 rings, and the other was [Short Teleportation].

However, in terms of time-consuming, Xia Duo finally chose [Mage Armor] and upgraded from the 1 ring level to the 4 rings, Xia Duo can be said to know a lot about this spell.

But teleportation, Xia Duo had only learned it not long ago, and he didn't have the confidence to touch the fifth layer of the magic net in a short period of time by raising the ring level of the [Short Teleportation], a 4-ring spell.

At the end of the day, there is a range of motivations behind any choice.

On the other hand, Layton also came to the residential area south of the Altar Square, because he had deliberately paid attention to the Atwood when he arranged the accommodation yesterday, so he went directly to the Atwood's residence.

The Langas have not yet been notified to go to the cafeteria to eat, but a lot of steamed buns have been distributed as food.

When he arrived, Layton saw Atwood crouching by the fire pit in the house, roasting steamed buns, and the pot hanging above it was still boiling water, gurgling, and the steaming water vapor went straight to the beams of the roof.

"Atwood!" Layton flashed the light in his hand and said hello.

Atwood hurriedly put down the branch in his hand, stood up, bowed, and looked cautious, "My lord, what are your orders?" ”

"Not hiding?"

"Don't dare to hide."

"Tell me, who are you? Where did it come from? Layton summoned the Realm of Honesty and stared at Atwood with burning eyes, "Don't try to deceive my lord's impartial gaze!" ”

A faint divine light spread out, containing a lofty will that mortals could perceive.

Atwood's originally respectful expression gradually became calm, and the son who was originally bowing straightened up, "I am from the [Golden Oak Branch] in Severton, and I am the secret elder of the Golden Oak Branch. ”

The Order of the Golden Oak Branch? Elder Secrets?

These two names were completely unfamiliar to Layden, but from the word oak, he could also guess that this Atwood was likely to be a druid before, and Layton continued to ask:

"Then how did you lose your holy power? And how did it end up in the River Nesser? What is the purpose of coming to Great Xia? ”

Compared to the previous question, this question is very critical, and [Honest Domain] does not have the effect of compulsory interrogation, if Atwood has the heart to refuse, he can not answer it at all.

But the consequences of refusal were to be borne by himself, and with almost no hesitation, he immediately replied: "I was banished by the Order because of the conflict of ideas within the Order, and after I left the Order, the Holy Power began to drain irreversibly until it disappeared completely. I was robbed by robbers and thrown into the river, and later I was rescued on the boat, and it was only by chance that I came to the Great Xia Territory, and I had no ill will. ”

A few sentences explain the reason clearly, but more details are not revealed, such as what was the conflict of ideas that led to the banishment, the real reason for the loss of holy power, and why the robbers robbed and killed them directly.

For a former druid, Leiden still gave a certain amount of respect and did not ask in depth.

However, he was sure that Atwood was not lying, in other words, the Great Xia Territory might have another lord, but this must be decided by the lord himself, and he himself has no right to give any guarantees.

He just said, "I will report your situation to Lord Summer, and you can rest assured that there will be no problem with your safety whether you go or stay." ”

After saying that, he asked Atwood not to leave the residence for the time being, and then left alone to report.

……

Inside the small camp of Chado.

Leiden's arrival made Xia Duo, who was devoting himself to spell promotion, a little unhappy, a bit like getting angry, taking two deep breaths, gathering his thoughts, and recording the key information of the progress node of the current research on his notes, in case he couldn't find the idea when he studied it again in the future.

After doing this, he looked at Leyton and asked, "Tell me, who is Atwood?" ”

"My lord, he is a druid, but now he has lost his holy power and has become an ordinary person."

Druid? Xia Duo was immediately interested, he had only heard of the druid before, but had not seen it with his own eyes, and now this Atwood should be the first living druid he had ever seen.

No, it's a former druid.

"What else did he say?" Xia Duo hurriedly asked:

Layton recounted what Lightwood had said earlier, the Legion of Goldwood, the Arcane Elders, the Clash of Ideas, the banishment, the robbers, the rescue, and so on.

Xia Duo had never heard of any Golden Elephant Branch Order before, and this one didn't sound like a serious organization, and what secret text elder had mastered the secret script? Or are you a master of secret magic?

"Do you know the Legiont?"

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I haven't heard of it, but the druids in the Library of God are limited to a few names and abilities."

If the Library of God didn't have it, it would not have been possible for the Tower to exist at that time, and while sending a message to Nia through the Tower, asking her to help inquire about the information of the druids and the status of the Golden Elephant Branch, he said to Layton:

"This Atwood let him stay in the territory first, those Langas, you can arrange for them to learn the lingua franca of Nesse, the children teach alone, and the few translators of the Slevin Chamber of Commerce, leave one for you, and you will be responsible for teaching the children."

Now that winter has entered, heavy snow is coming, and the number of people participating in labor in the territory is not even half, plus there are leaders of various working groups, Leiden is actually not busy.

"By the way, this is for you." Xia Duo took out a simple dictionary he had made with his own hands from the space, as well as a copy of the Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance, and handed it to Leyton, "When the children in the territory learn words, use this to learn for them, and those Langas children first tell them to speak the lingua franca of Chroma. ”

Leiden took the "Proverbs" and a thick dictionary, flipped through a few pages, and immediately realized the importance of this "thick book".

But the book in front of me is obviously systematic, and if you recognize this book, then you will know all the other books, especially for people who are resistant to color, the most difficult thing is actually the one-to-one correspondence between pronunciation and words, not the meaning of words.

"My lord, this book—" Layton looked at Xia Duo, his eyes already a little crazy.

"This is what I used to use when I was learning words, you let them follow it first, and then I will rearrange it later when I have time." Chardo noticed Layton's eyes.

In this simple dictionary, it is essentially a list of words with the Nase-colored alphabet as the family, and the annotations and phonetics are all written in pinyin and phonetic transcription in English letters, and only Xia Duo himself knows the specific meaning.

Leiden didn't know that this was all shocked, and if he sorted these into a color-resistant lingua franca, wouldn't he be even more shocked?

In the future, they will even need to teach the illiterate phonetic alphabet, and then they can learn the text on their own, which is probably the advantage of phonetic writing.
