"Xia Duo, you go pick up the archmage for me, I'll wait for you here!"

"Good!"

Without much hesitation, Xia Duo immediately returned to the Tower of Time from the portal not far away, and behind him was the portal to Savile Town.

You can vaguely see the scene inside the temporary barracks on the other side of the portal that maintains the portal, of course, only vague images, and no sound can be heard.

However, as long as you have a good understanding of the portal spell, you can project your knowledge through the portal to the other side, so that you can observe the situation on the other side.

Xia Duo once learned the [Short Portal] at an exchange meeting in Severton, which only has 5 rings, but it is a simplified version of the genuine 8-ring [Portal], and it basically has all the elements it should have.

He himself knew how to observe the scene on the other side through the portal, but he came from the other side, and he didn't need to cast spells to understand it at all.

……

At this moment, in the teleportation room where Xia Duo was, in addition to the portal that was activated on the wall behind him, there were five portals in the room that had not yet been activated.

Of course, it is more accurate to say that the portal base, which is located on three other walls in addition to the door, two on each wall.

Their main purpose is to maintain the portal to a fixed location for a long time.

Without these pedestals, portals can be used, but they are of limited duration and do not serve well as a link between Savile Town and the Tower of Time.

Generally, when you want to use a portal, you basically need to maintain it for a long time, and if you use it for a short time, it may be more convenient to teleport directly.

In the center of the room is a square platform about half a foot above the ground, on which are poured with precious metals such as mythril and gold, with complex but very regular lines.

This is the teleportation circle.

Nya had just passed the temporary passkey to Archmage Orone, so Shado only had to wait here for a while.

……

Soon, the magical aura of the teleportation circle began to tremble, and the aura that was originally white and clear as water suddenly became blurred, like a white mist.

Of course, this is just a vision in the magic vision, in the normal vision, the teleportation circle is also glowing, but it does not affect Xia Duo's vision of the scene on the teleportation platform at all.

From the response of the teleportation circle to the end of the teleportation, it took almost only the blink of an eye for the magical aura like a white mist to shrink suddenly.

Immediately afterward, Archmage Orone, whom Shado had met several times, appeared on the portal, along with a bald-headed spellcaster in gray robes and a strange mask.

Just seeing each other, Xia Duo saw that he was not a human, and if he was a human, how could anyone's eyes glow, and it was a very strange red light.

Even in the wizarding world, Xia Duo has never seen anyone's eyes glow under normal conditions, so he doesn't think otherwise, he must not be a talent.

It's just that Xia Duo is not Fahai, and he doesn't dare to shout any bold and demonic here.

And the most important point is that the moment he saw the other party's eyes, Xia Duo had a feeling of cold hair standing on end, not fear, but more like a kind of spiritual oppression.

This feeling is intuitive and metaphysical, but it is real, so Xia Duo has to deal with it carefully.

In fact, he had already recognized the identity of this special spellcaster, who was personally accompanied by the princess's follower, Archmage Orone.

The other party's signature white gloves, eerie mask, and skull insignia on the gray robe all announced to the outside world that he represented death.

This is indeed a servant of the Lord of Death, or a priest.

If Xia Duo guessed correctly, this one might have transformed into an undead creature, which made him feel even more indescribable.

In the past, he had heard that there were priests of death who would voluntarily transform into undead creatures, but this practice was actually against the teachings.

The Lord of Death witnesses and defends death, believing that only death is the ultimate eternity, but He also respects life very much, and He believes that the more wonderful a life is, the more brilliant and great its death will be.

The Lord of Death is not the Reaper of Life, and as such, it is not permissible to kill or transform the undead, even as a priest.

In fact, one of the important long-term duties of the priest of death is to cleanse the mortal world of negative energy and undead life, so that the dead return to death.

If you can become an undead creature without losing your divine favor and maintaining your status as a priest, then this one is really not easy!

Xia Duo's heart sank, knowing that the Tower of Time was likely to have a big person, and in the midst of lightning, he adjusted his emotions (undead creatures are very sensitive to emotions), and he was very sensitive to the two of them (?). A slight salute:

"Archmage Orone, and the loyal servants of the Lord of Death, welcome both to the Tower of Time!"

"Lord Shado, long time no see!"

The priest didn't react, but Archmage Oron showed some enthusiasm and introduced to Xia Duo: "This is High Priest Morton, the legend of Severnton, who has come here to deal with the fish-man crowd incident this time under the commission of the council. ”

High Priest Morton?

With his extraordinary memory ability, Xia Duo quickly retrieved all the information behind the name in his mind, and everything else, including his legendary identity, was not important to Xia Duo, and it would not hinder him anyway.

There is only one thing that makes him very interested -

This High Priest of Morton has mastered the art of resurrection, and there are several resurrection cases that have already been identified!

It's like a walking money printing machine!

Although I don't know the specific price of the resurrection, as long as the technology is in hand and I meet relatives and friends who can't let go of the deceased, isn't it a random offer!

Resurrection was a strategically important technique that Shado particularly wanted to acquire, but he also knew that it would be nearly impossible to obtain resurrection from a Death Priest.

Not to mention the difficulty of the transformation from divine magic to arcane magic, the resurrection itself violates the doctrine of death, making it impossible for the Death Priest to reveal it easily.

It's just that an undead creature is engaged in some resurrection business, is that good?

It's not good!

Before he knew that High Priest Morton was an undead creature, Xia Duo didn't feel anything, but when he saw High Priest Morton with his own eyes and recognized that the other party was most likely an undead creature, he always felt a sense of disobedience in his heart.

It feels like a crematorium on the earth but part-time rescue, how can it not be disobedient!

However, the scene still couldn't be cold, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you High Priest Morton for your support to the South!" ”

But Morton still didn't react at all, but the red light in his eyes flashed twice, Xia Duo had never dealt with the undead, if there was another death priest present to translate, maybe he could still communicate cordially?

"Heaven Descends"

Of course, there are no other priests here, but there is an Archmage of Orone, who can accompany Morton here, and he will definitely be able to communicate, "Lord Shado, High Priest Morton said that he didn't need to thank him, it was the council that gave him enough payment!" ”

After a pause, Oron said, "High Priest Morton asked you to take him to the river!" ”

"Good! Two of you, come here! ”

Shado gestured to the open portal a few steps away, made an inviting gesture, and when the two followed, he walked in first.
