Rest early in the morning and wake up in the morning.

Xia Duo casually nibbled on two steamed buns made of Celestial Wheat Flour, and re-added some blessing spells that were about to be disintegrated by the automatic recovery trend of the Demon Net.

After that, he used an illusion magic to project the image of an ordinary passerby in his memory onto himself, carrying out a double camouflage on the visual and spiritual level.

The former includes both normal vision and magical visual camouflage, but it is limited to vision and can easily spot "bugs" if touched, while the latter is intended for people under high-level mages.

Under normal circumstances, most high-level mages possess psychic talismans that are immune to, mitigate, or alert to a considerable degree of psychic spells, and Xia Duo's illusion is not yet so clever as to deceive everyone.

Even, he didn't have much research on illusions such as touch, sound, and smell, and his current camouflage spell was actually very watery.

And he never thought to use this to hide from everyone.

If he really did this, it would be a problem, and if the Seven Towers thought he wanted to run away, it would be unclear if it was justified.

……

After leaving the house, Chado first went to the trade area within the Austrian Federation.

Half a month after the snowmelt competition, there are still a lot of foreign mages stranded in Severton, which is reflected in the trade area within the Austrian French Federation, and the passenger flow is much higher than usual.

But that's also relative to usual, judging from the sheer number of spellcasters, standing from Xia Duo's angle, this place is undoubtedly still very deserted.

Xia Duo wandered in front of one business stall, and couldn't help but feel glad that he had disguised himself before going out, if he really appeared here in his true form, it would be really too conspicuous.

"Did you hear that? A big event happened in Severynton last night! ”

"Is that the thing?"

"You've heard that, too? You're well-informed! I also heard a friend of mine accidentally say something about his brother in the Seven Towers, and I only found out! ”

"I'd rather not know, I don't have to worry about it here!"

"Ahh

“……”

Naturally, it was impossible for the caretakers on the business position to talk about such a hot topic in public, but their unencrypted ordinary communication spells were almost defenseless in front of Xia Duo.

He came here specifically to use the "Wind News" technique in the elven spell to inquire about the current situation outside.

This time, before I turned a few places, I heard two low-level mages communicating and exchanging, and the content of the exchange turned out to be Xia Duo himself!

The death of Archarcanist Cliff is no secret now.

Even the low-level mages who watched the stalls in the internal trade zone of the Austrian Federation knew about it, except for ordinary people, how many people didn't know?

As for the content about himself, most of it is chasing after the wind, and there is no mention that he is directly related to Cliff's death.

But there are no less indirect correlations.

Yesterday evening, during dinner, many mages from the Gilles Tower witnessed Cliff and him go to the plane exploration layer one after another, and a series of associations were generated.

In this regard, Xia Duo just wants to say - don't spread rumors, don't spread rumors, don't believe rumors!

However, he couldn't explain it, after all, he was indeed in the same place as Cliff at the time, and even witnessed the other party turn into ashes.

Xia Duo himself knew that he had nothing to do with Cliff's death, but others didn't know! If this is explained, it will really get darker and darker!

At this moment, he only hoped that the Seven Towers would issue an authoritative explanation for Cliff's death as soon as possible!

Fortunately, Xia Duo, as a senior arcanist, is also a pioneer lord who participated in the princess's ascension ceremony some time ago and was in the limelight, so far, no one has dared to ask him for an explanation in person.

Not even a face-to-face contact!

This situation is very bad for him, if he is only a low-level mage, no one will suspect that he has anything to do with Cliff's death, but he is a senior arcanist, and this suspicion is immediately great.

In particular, Xia Duo did not hear any rumors related to Thorne, and it is unknown whether this was intentional on the part of the Seven Towers or something else.

But obviously, it was even more detrimental to him.

Don't come out by then, the truth really has nothing to do with him, but the pot is still carried by him, it will be too sad!

Both good and bad reputations can increase the awakening level of Xia Duo's bloodline, but if you want to ask him which one he likes, it is undoubtedly the former!

Even the bad guys want to be surrounded by good people who follow the rules, so as to improve their competitiveness in the rules game (you can cheat, break the rules, and play side balls).

In a sense, it is indeed a very simple truth.

……

After leaving the trade area, Xia Duo prepared to go outside to take a walk, which was considered to be a distraction, and at the same time, he could also collect more news from the outside world.

Whether it's speculation about Cliff's death, or the habits and principles of the Seven Towers' way of dealing with it, or the effects of this incident.

But as soon as he walked out of the clumsy stone gate of the Austrian Federation, an unexpected but long-overdue news finally came!

During the interrogation, Stern, the son of Lord Rayson, quietly appeared in Xia Duo's ear with a slightly trembling voice: "May I ask Lord Xia Duo, my teacher is really, really-"

The last word "death" Stern was not spoken, and Xia Duo could feel the extreme disbelief in the other party's emotions, but this did not affect the real reality.

Transmissions aimed at magic marks require two-way confirmation, and there are many people who have exchanged magic marks with Xia Duo, but Stern is the only one who has actually contacted him.

Of course, this is also because Stern has a direct stake in Cliff, so how can a student not care about the teacher?

"I'm sorry, though I'm reluctant to say such a thing, but I don't want to tell you that Lord Cliff maybe, maybe, really go!"

After Xia Duo replied like this, he never received any more summons from Stern, and he didn't want to guess Stern's thoughts at this time, but it undoubtedly saved him a lot of trouble.

If the other party asks repeatedly, he really doesn't know how to answer!

Speak clearly and firmly, as if quibbling; To put it mildly and vaguely, it seems to be a conspiracy.

In short, until the official results of the Seven Towers' investigation come out, Xia Duo is not prepared to make any public comments.

……

was interrupted by Stern like this, Xia Duo's originally slightly depressed mood improved a little, but he also knew that when he went outside to inquire about the news, he might be angry again.

"You should set up an office in Severton as soon as possible, otherwise every time you have to do all kinds of things, you have to do it yourself, it will be too wasteful of time!"

With this in mind, Xia Duo went out with the mentality of inspecting the office of the Tower of Time, which somewhat made him feel that he was doing his business and not wasting time.
