Arcane Lord

　　 "Lucky Owen" is just a very ordinary flat-bottomed inland cargo ship. After loading more than a hundred people, the cabin became full, and there were even people on the upper deck.

　　 If it weren't for the old Owen's repeated guarantees, Xia Duo would rather ship in two trips.

　　 In order to get back to Savile Town as soon as possible, the leaders took turns paddling during the day. At night, it was operated by the original crew again.

　　 At the same time, Xia Duo provides a large [lighting technique] support to illuminate the return waterway.

　　 In this way, although it was against the current, one day later, the "Lucky Owen" successfully arrived in Savile Town and docked at the port.

　　 And Yarman, the steward of the Leighton Chamber of Commerce, who had long been informed by Chateau’s spells, was already waiting at the port. Chateau got off the ship and he greeted him:

　　 "Sir Xia Duo, the food and shelter have all been arranged, and the leaders of the adults can live there all this time."

　　 "Okay, thank you very much."

　　 Yarman didn't dare to take credit, and said quickly: "It's still the previous warehouse, this time it was just vacated."

　　 Having said that, Xia Duo knew that even if it was just an ordinary port warehouse, it did not mean that it could be vacated, even if it had been arranged in advance when he came back last time.

　　 "I have something to deal with in the Mage Tower. You can discuss the rest with the priest of Leiden."

"Yes."

　　 Later, Chateau confessed to Leiden a few more words, and then left the port, but he did not return to the Tower of Time immediately, but stopped at the central square.

　　 The Midsummer Festival is approaching, and three-color ribbons of red, yellow and orange have been hung on the buildings around the square, and even at this time, there are bards performing in the square.

　　 But Xia Duo didn't want to watch the performance, but to wait for someone. He was standing not far from the town hall, far away from the crowd, very conspicuous, but no one dared to come up and chat with the mage casually.

　　 After a while, a soldier wearing a Savile collar-style leather armor trot over. It was the person that Chateau was waiting for-Gibb.

　　 "Sir, sorry, I'm late."

　　 Xia Duo looked at Gibb carefully. The man in his thirties looked exactly like the way he faced Lord Epps at the moment. Xia Duo didn't want him to be nervous, so he said straightforwardly:

　　 "Can you contact Aiva? I want to hire him as an instructor for the territory guard."

　　 Xia Duo did not say that he invited Aiva to join the territory. He knew that the current Da Xia collar was not enough to attract a wanderer who had received professional training and was able to use magic items.

　　 is only for hiring now, but in the future, when the right time is right, it might be possible to change into joining.

　　 "My lord——" Gibb wanted to agree to his friend, but he knew that his friend would not agree. Aiva had something he wanted to do. If it weren't for that, he would have left Saville to take it.

　　 It's just Chateau's request and can't easily refuse. After hesitating, Gibb said: "My lord, I can contact Aiva, but I think he is unlikely to agree."

"Don't agree?" Xia Duo frowned. He recalled the bits and pieces of the mission with Aiva last year. Aiva was indeed a taciturn person who hardly communicated with others, but that wouldn't make it difficult to get along with gold coins. .

　　 He remembered Djibouti before that Iwa was an adventurer. Would the adventurer want to earn gold coins?

　　 "Help me contact him, I will talk to him personally."

　　 "This—" Jiva gritted his teeth, "I can't agree to meet the adult for Aiva, but I will tell him the adult's request. If he agrees, I will bring him to see the adult."

"Ah!"

　　 is just a wanderer who made such a big score. Xia Duo suddenly regretted mentioning it. He just wanted to find someone who would teach ordinary people to use magic scrolls. Without Aiwa, there must be other Biwa and Seva!

　　 But since it has been mentioned, Chateau will not use it. He is a pragmatist, so he said: "If you find someone, go to the Liaton Chamber of Commerce and let the manager of Yarman inform me!"

After 　　 finished speaking, he left directly, leaving only Gibb with a change of expression on the spot.

　　……

　　 Back to the Mage Tower, Chateau first went to see Niya, relayed the words of Lord Epps, and then went into the spell laboratory.

　　 During this period of time, he has accumulated a lot of imaginative experiments on [Floating Technique]. Without a spell laboratory, he would not dare to conduct too radical experiments.

　　 As for the affairs between Epps and Niya, Chateau didn't want to care, and couldn't. Only Teacher Niya's sad eyes impressed him, but he was then left behind.

　　 Xada devoted himself to the magic experiment, completely forgetting the passage of time.

　　……

　　 On the other side, Gibb saw Chateau in the square, and went to the Adventurer’s Guild to release a mission to find the lost puppy before he walked home.

　　 After so many days away from home, he is so eager to see his family!

　　 Savile Town, West End.

　　 This is a civilian area described by adventurers, but that is just a ridicule. In fact, the people who live here are not the families of basic-level officers and clerks in the territory, or local vendors and handicraftsmen.

　　 There is neither the noise of the flourishing trade in the Eastern District, nor the danger of adventurers in the Southern District at all times.

　　 Gibb’s home is in the West End, close to the temple, which is considered the safest place.

　　 Pushed open the courtyard door, and Gibb's wife was sitting in the courtyard mending clothes. At that time, the neighbors introduced her to the family life.

　　 The son who just learned to walk next to him was swaying around the trees in the courtyard. When he came back last time, his son could not walk.

　　 This scene ~www.ltnovel.com~ made Gibb feel very peaceful. He resisted a certain emotion and squeezed out from his throat: "Lina, I'm back!"

　　 "Gibb!"

　　 Hearing the sound, Lina quickly put down the job in her hand and greeted her.

　　 Gibb hugged his wife and was about to take it into the house, but this time for some reason, Lina struggled desperately, blushing, and lowered her voice, "In the house-there are people in the house!"

　　 "Someone?!" Gibb was startled, originally holding his wife's hand, subconsciously placed it on the hilt of his waist, but then realized that he was too nervous.

　　 "Who's here?" Gibb asked.

　　 Lina pushed Gibb away, sorted out her clothes, and then said, "It's Aiva, he just came here for a while, saying that he has something to do with you."

　　 At this point, Lina suddenly changed her face, turned Jibla aside, and whispered: "Don't lend him any more money this time. My son will definitely learn magic in the future. He must save money now."

　　 "Yes, yes." Gibb didn't dare to explain, he had to respond again and again, sending his wife to take care of the children, and he walked into the house alone.

　　……

　　 Closed the door, Gibb saw the man standing in the corner by the window. The dim light made the man's profile a bit strange, but Gibb knew that it was Aiva.

　　 "Why did you come so soon?"

　　 "Don't forget, it will be Midsummer Day two days later. I will be idle for these two days." Aiva turned around and looked at Gibb, "Say, what can I do?"

　　 "It's not me looking for you, it's Master Xia Duo, do you remember Master Xia Duo? He is looking for you!"
