Chapter 688 - Breath Out, Strange Skin
"He was discovered by Warren after he appeared in Savile Town, but he didn't tell Warren what he was here for, saying that he had an important matter to visit the owner of the Tower of Time."
Nia recounted very blandly.
Warren is the head of the Outer Mage of the Tower of Time, and Xia Duo is no stranger to it, and the so-called External Mage was originally just a title for a member of the Tower of Time similar to the guest secretary.
However, after he promoted the transformation of the Tower of Time, the External Mage has become a true mage in charge of the external affairs of the Tower of Time.
Of course, the work of those external mages now is not much different from the past, but the salary and benefits have become better, and at the same time, they can be regarded as officially joining the Tower of Time, and they can no longer leave at will.
In response to Nia's answer, Xia Duo nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Then why don't you let Lord Rodney in?" ”
"I'm worried that he may have some conspiracy, after all, the relationship between the two of us is not very harmonious, didn't you say before that the death of the former president of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce is very likely to be the instigation of Rodney Collar behind it!"
"It's-"
Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, "I did say it, but it was just a one-sided statement of Lord Hawke, and we have no way of verifying it. Regardless, it's not a good thing to keep a veteran arcanist out. ”
"You won't forget that he sent priests to your territory to try to empty your rule, right?" Nia said again.
"How can this be forgotten! However, it is simply unrealistic for a priest to override the rule of an Arcanist Lord! ”
"You weren't an Arcanist then! And once he is allowed to stay, he can summon more priests from Rodney at any time, and what can you do if that happens? ”
“……”
Xia Duo didn't expect Nia to behave less resentful than him in this matter, but in fact, he didn't show such calmness. It's just that, for a senior arcanist, can it still be hard-barred?
"Let him in first, at least see what he wants to say, even if there is any conspiracy, get more information to better deal with it!"
"Then you stay and meet him with me!" Nia said suddenly, puffing out.
"Nope."
Xia Duo bluntly refused.
He has been with Niya for a long time, and Niya's personality is not complicated, he is a simple young man who grew up in the Mage Tower since he was a child, and he rarely even has the opportunity to go out, and he does not have many contacts.
So after such a long time, Xia Duo knows her quite well. As soon as Nia spoke, Chardo could roughly guess what she was thinking, especially those words that were clearly emotional.
Perhaps Nia wanted him to stay and be emboldened, but it was more likely that she deliberately humiliated Lord Rodney in order to vent her anger on him.
It wasn't something a mature mage, or a mature lord, would do, but Shado didn't doubt that Nia could do it.
Many of her usual actions reveal childishness, such as suddenly saying that she wants to create an heir when she was in Severton, playing crazy with Pegasus in the Arcane Garden, and so on.
Even sometimes when the two of them were discussing magic issues, she would suddenly play a joke that seemed very cold to Xia Duo, which once made the otherwise very serious scene very funny.
Of course, this time, Shado is not entirely due to not wanting to cause a conflict between Nia and Lord Rodney, but also for his own reasons.
Although he can already control the [Dragon Prestige] to a certain extent, this is like a game skill, which can be turned off actively and selectively, and it is difficult to turn off passively.
The awakening of the bloodline has made Xia Duo a little alienated in temperament, and the lord of Rodney, the legendary "ram in heat", may also have some kind of special bloodline and have given birth to an unknown number of heirs.
If Xia Duo met him, maybe there would be no conspiracy in the first place, but after discovering Xia Duo's bloodline, maybe there would be some conspiracy.
Until he has full control of this newly awakened ability, Xia Duo does not plan to meet any outsiders, especially a quasi-enemy who is currently in a state of disharmony.
His blunt refusal made Nia's mood a little depressed, so Xia Duo comforted again:
"Lord Rodney, as a senior arcanist, and a land lord, shouldn't come here in person to engage in any conspiracy, I think he should have something to ask for this time, as for what to ask for, you can know if you meet him with Alberke."
"Really?" When Niya heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face again.
Xia Duo nodded, in fact, if Nia could eliminate the interference caused by emotions, she would not be able to come to such a conclusion.
It would have been more rational even if he had discussed it with Alberke first.
"Lord Rodney came to visit in person, don't make the family wait for a long time, after all, he is also a senior arcanist, and respecting him is like respecting ourselves."
Unless it's really tearing the skin, who would be rude to a senior arcanist, and even if it's an ordinary mage, he won't be treated rudely.
After all, no one knows if this ordinary mage will become a Grand Arcanist in the future.
After receiving the guests of the foreign arcanists, there was a special reception room, and after persuading Nia to leave, Xia Duo was still not at ease, and immediately contacted Alberke, asking him to help check the gates.
Regardless of his talent in the realm of magic, Alberk was a seasoned elder, though his current appearance was disguised by magic after a baptism of the Secret Flame.
……
After informing Abbeck, Xia Duo simply waited in Nia's study, during which he also began to try to find out the new abilities he had gained after this bloodline awakening.
Not to mention [Soaring Clouds and Mist] and [Dragon's Might], the former is a chicken rib at present, while the latter shows considerable practicality.
However, it was not these two new abilities that Shado focused on, but the [Abnormalities on the Arm] that he had discovered before but was interrupted by Niya.
Xia Duo rolled up his sleeves and carefully observed the skin on his arms, gradually shifting his gaze from the position of his arms to his wrists and the backs of his hands, which were relatively thin.
With direct vision, he couldn't see anything, but under the magical vision, he noticed that the link between his body and the magic web had been slightly adjusted.
This was originally a very normal thing, after all, everything has a link with the magic web, but to a different extent.
The state of the connection between the living creature and the magic web is changing almost every moment, but the adjustments and changes that Xia Duo found are mainly focused on the skin.
And these changes, although subtle, were enough for him to detect anomalies.
This is in the skin, with the [Dragon Prestige] that was similar to Long Wei before but completely different, Xia Duo immediately thought, is this possible - "Dragon Skin"?
Although the dragon skin is a physical body, it can resist the invasion of ordinary swords, and even has a certain immunity to magic.
If you can get a similar effect yourself, wouldn't you be invincible!
Thinking of this, Rao is Xia Duo's always calm heart couldn't help but feel a little hot, could it be that this is the highlight of his bloodline awakening this time?
