Arcane Lord

"Sir, this is the little wooden sculpture."

Master Horst took the wooden carving and inspected it carefully. Although he could feel that it was special, he couldn't tell what was special about it.

If I had to point out one thing, it might be the eyes of this heroic woman on the wood carving. Other than that, Horst didn't even notice any magical aura on the wood carving.

It’s just an ordinary item! They just used materials from the elves. Could it be that the unknown caster behind this incident is an elf?

Horst thought of this possibility. After all, there had been conflicts with the elves in the early days of territory development, but that was nearly a hundred years ago, and with the arrogant character of the elves, it was unlikely that they would do such a thing.

After thinking about it, Horst decided to send the corpse and wooden sculpture back to the Mage Tower first. He believed that even if it was really an elf, they would not be able to do anything in the Mage Tower.

"Mrs. Patty, if nothing happens, get ready to leave. Let me take him to see Fairbuss first, and then I will put it in a dimensional bag and take it away."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Patty's eyes immediately turned red, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. "Sir, can you let me send it there in person?"

Perhaps it was the woman's tears that moved Horst, or perhaps he thought that there were five possible corpses behind him and it was impossible for him to come forward in person, so Horst did not force it, but said, "Okay, but I will be back soon." The Mage Tower is here, you must arrange it as soon as possible!”

"Yes, thank you, sir!"

Mrs. Patty thanked her profusely and immediately arranged for people to transport Fairbus' body to the Mage Tower.

During this period, Master Priest had already left first, along with the two other mages who arrived in the middle.

…

On the other side, Xia Duo, who was investigating the Liaton Chamber of Commerce in the East District, didn't know that the situation had changed again just a moment after he left.

What was originally just a private matter for the Fairbus family has now become a business matter for the territory.

Unaware of it, Xia Duo was still inquiring about news in a store in the East District! With the gorgeous and exquisite decorative robes on his body, Xia Duo was received like a VIP in the store.

Therefore, it was effortless to find out the information. After all, he just wanted to get a general understanding of the surface situation first. The real target was actually on the small wooden carving.

As long as he finds the masked man who stopped him on the Moon Festival and asks about the function of the small wooden carving, he might be able to get closer to the truth!

As for the leather store, Sha Duo went there as his first step. Unfortunately, the owner has changed. I don’t know if the original Turner ran away or was killed by a masked man.

In short, Xia Duo will start simply by inquiring about the Liaton Chamber of Commerce. If finding clues is too troublesome, he will simply give up. There are already 400 gold coins on the mission voucher, and almost half of the mission indicators have been completed. .

He is already very content.

Perhaps it was Xia Duo's nonchalant attitude that made the store's clerks full of expressiveness, spouting all kinds of strange stories and gossip.

And this just fulfilled Xia Duo's wish, and he didn't need to speak more to avoid losing his temper.

Of course, he still had to show off when he left, because he only came to get information and didn't really want to buy anything.

Seeing the expression on the clerk's face that he dared to be angry but dared not say anything, but still kept smiling, Xia Duo actually felt a little guilty. After praising the clerk a few words, he quickly left the house.

The whole set of movements was completed in one go, without any sloppiness.

Next, Xia Duo kept wandering around the East District like this. Feeling that a certain store might know news about the Liaton Chamber of Commerce, he went in to ask. If he was interested in a certain product, he would also go in and take a look.

In this way, Xia Duo even experienced the feeling of shopping on earth. Someone paid for him to go shopping, and it was rare for him to have some leisure time.

After some inquiries, Xia Duo already had a rough idea of ​​the so-called Liaton Chamber of Commerce. It was not a chamber of commerce facing individual consumers, but a chamber of commerce that faced and provided convenience to the chamber of commerce.

Somewhat similar to Alibaba on earth, the Liaton Chamber of Commerce provides channels for the local chamber of commerce in Savileland to go abroad, of course only from Savileland to Conifera City.

Therefore, although Liaton is not well-known among the people, he has great status in the eyes of various chambers of commerce.

But now the owner of such a prestigious chamber of commerce has died mysteriously, and even the murderer may not be able to be found. I have to say that ordinary people in this world are really miserable.

Not only do they have to survive in the wilderness, but they are also always under the threat of spellcasters. This also makes Xia Duo more aware that if he does not master magic in this world, he will only be a low-ranking person.

After getting general information about the Liaton Chamber of Commerce, Sha Duo planned to go back to the Mage Tower to change clothes, and then go to the tavern in the South District to inquire.

Ask about the masked man you met during the Moon Festival, Turner, the owner of a leather shop that is actually a selling point for stolen goods, and the rather mysterious little wood carving.

But when he walked out of the store, he happened to encounter a group of soldiers passing by the entrance of the store. One of them left the group and came to Xia Duo. He first saluted Xia Duo and then shouted inside:

"Have you ever seen a small wooden sculpture that looks like a woman?"

While talking, the soldier also took out a wooden stick and gestured to the clerk inside, "It's about this big and brown. Have you seen it before?"

"No no!"

The clerk's slightly panicked voice came out, "Sir, this shop only sells candles and has nothing to do with the statue!"

A group of soldiers passed by the door just now. The clerk also saw it and knew that he could not get involved in this matter. Not to mention that he had never seen it. Even if the small wooden sculpture was in his hand, he would not dare to admit it.

Who knows if there is a risk of losing your head!

At this time, Xia Duo, who was about to leave, also slowed down a little. Are there soldiers searching for the small wooden sculpture? Something happened to Mrs. Patty?

Sha Duo was a little worried, not about Mrs. Patty, but worried that his inquiry just now was in vain. As for the 400 gold coins on the mission voucher, he was not worried.

He received the money from the Mage Tower Mission Management Office. Mrs. Patty must have needed to top up the money in advance when releasing the mission.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo quickened his pace again, while the soldier behind him continued to ask, and his voice became weaker and weaker. But without going far, Xia Duo met another soldier who had just come out of the shop.

After bowing to Xia Duo, he left in a hurry.

As for Xia Duo, he walked straight to the villa area without stopping. He wanted to go to Olbers Villa first to see what happened and why the soldiers from the territory were dispatched!

He didn't believe that just a merchant's widow could attract the soldiers of the territory, especially now, Xia Duo knew that the lord could not be contacted at the moment.

There must have been some major changes here.
