Chapter 57: Toxicity, negotiation
Xia Duo immediately thought of the Chamber of Commerce that Old Neil wanted to enslave him. Isn’t it called the Gorse Chamber of Commerce! So he asked, "What happened later?"
"Later, I changed a person in charge and immediately handed over all the weapons to the lord, and more than one hundred orc slaves were also sent, which is considered to be bleeding."
Xia Duo could hear Dewanen’s tone full of gloat. Obviously, in Dewanen’s heart, the image of the Gorse Chamber of Commerce is quite negative.
No more inquiries about the Gorse Chamber of Commerce, the three agreed on a meeting time for the next day, and Sami and Dewann left each.
……
In the evening, Xia Duo prepared to poison the arrows of the crossbow, and the new dagger also needed to be poisoned to increase its power.
I have seen the ten arrows Xia Duo a long time ago. They should all belong to the fine art of military supplies. Even in Broto's blacksmith's shop, they are not bad.
Of course, compared to modern craftsmanship, such an arrow is still a bit rough, and this is also a basis for poisoning.
drew the wick of the oil lamp to make the fire a little bigger, and Xia Duo directly used the oil lamp to quench the poison, and slowly approached the arrow soaked in paralytic poison to the flame, but did not directly touch it.
Let the venom evaporate slowly, leaving a layer of something similar to a coating on the arrow, and it cannot be done once. In order to make the poison retention effect better, it is necessary to repeat this operation many times.
This is a test of patience.
In addition, the vapor that the venom evaporates is still poisonous. Xia Duo had to wash the damp cloth that covered her nose every time she quenched the poison. Even so, Xia Duo still felt a little trance, and his hands and feet were a little inflexible.
Fortunately, this time it was a non-lethal poison. Xia Duo specifically asked Edridge when he bought it. Even if he drank a bottle, it would not directly cause death. It just made the whole body paralyzed, and he couldn't even blink or breathe.
Of course, if you hold your breath for long enough, you can recover after the effect of the medicine subsides.
In this way, the 10 arrows kept Xia Duo busy late at night, because Taling could not tell the time outside, Xia Duo did not continue to poison the dagger because he estimated that the time was late.
Firstly, he has inhaled a lot of poisonous vapor, secondly, if he doesn't take a good rest, he probably won't be able to enter the state of concentration if he wants to contact the spell tomorrow.
If a mage does research and forgets to eat, some people may believe it, but if a mage does research and forgets to sleep, then almost no one believes it 100%.
Poor rest will affect the casting state, which is absolutely intolerable by the wizard.
Even, for this reason, the mages have also created many spells specifically used to ensure sleep, such as hiding in a different space, or summoning a hidden residence.
The Biography of Archmage Darthriel, which Xia Duo likes to read, records that Darthriel once created a spell to summon an invisible villa, which is called [Darthriel's Invisible Villa].
This made Xia Duo very envious, dreaming that one day he would be able to summon a luxurious villa with a wave of his hand. If it were put on the earth, it would even save money for buying a house.
Before going to bed, Chateau deliberately checked the secret imprint on the dagger, and it was still stable, but the imprint on the palm of his left hand had changed.
The cyclical state of the spell structure that was supposed to be stable is gradually disintegrating, and maybe it will disappear completely after ten or twenty days.
Xia Duo thinks that this should be caused by the human body itself disturbing the magic net, and the imprint left on the human body will also be disturbed. From this speculation, the [Secret Imprint] on any life cannot be preserved forever.
This makes Chateau feel more advanced in [Permanent Magic Technique], because [Permanent Magic Technique] can keep the magic effect constant on people.
In the end, Xia Duo reviewed all the things encountered today, and after summing up the gains and losses, he slept with clothes.
……
Mage Tower, the reception room of Lord Epps Savile.
A meeting of only four people is going on here quietly, and the lord and his three followers are discussing some details about dealing with the orc wave.
"Bergart, how did that happen?"
Bergat immediately replied respectfully, "Lord Lord, it's done, you can start the link anytime."
"Okay!" Epps asked with a long-lost smile on his face, "What's going on with the orcs?"
"Some orcs have already gone down the mountain."
Lord Epps looked at the table with his fingers and said, "Wait."
"Eps, if you wait any longer, will the power of the territory lose too much? And isn't the Lord Oron here?"
It was the Mage Abbock who ignited the emotions of his apprentice in the Mage Tower during the day. He was also one of the followers of the lord, but Ebbock and lord Epps grew up together and had a very deep relationship. You can call his name directly.
Of course, Ebbock’s 10th level cast level also gave him enough confidence, and compared to Epps, who failed the advanced Arcanist, Ebbock has firmly walked the path of the Arcanist .
"Alberk, Bergart, and Koyan, I should have told you about this three days ago, but I forgot because I was busy preparing that thing."
The expression on Lord Epps’s face is quite complicated. Thinking about it now, maybe it was influenced by the Grand Mage Olong, and then he gave a rather shocking news——
"The Great Arcanist I contacted before did not reply to me~www.readwn.com~ and the Great Arcanist Olong was not sent by the adult at all. He actively asked for support, even though it was through Arcanum. I came here from the Federation, but to be honest, I don’t fully believe him.
"what!"
The three followers made a surprised voice. They always thought that Archmage Olong was sent by the same sect of the first lord Savile Arcanist to support, but they didn't expect it to be!
Thinking about it, it can actually be understood. If the great arcanist was so easy to move, then the old lord would not be injured because of the orc tide, and then died.
Territory military director Ke Yaen asked, "Lord Lord, do you know what the purpose of Lord Oron really is?"
"I don't know, it's troublesome because you don't know. Don't talk about this matter. The Great Master Olong is an aid sent by the adult."
"Yes!"
"Also! Koyaen" Lord Epps looked at his military director, "The time for the decisive battle is almost here, the training of the main force can be slightly slowed down, and the training of the chamber of commerce and adventurers cannot be stopped."
"Yes!"
"Ebbock, the apprenticeship is left to you. It's just some finishing work. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. The mage apprentice shouldn't be consumed here. When I'm away, you have to keep an eye on it."
"Don't worry, Epps, how many times have you said it." Abbock was a little impatient, but suddenly his face turned straight again, "By the way, are you really going to put Niya on the battlefield?"
Speaking of Niya, Lord Epps showed a trace of struggle on his face, but it was replaced by firmness almost instantly, "My daughter can't stay in the mage tower forever, she must take up her due responsibility There is no weak person in the Saville family."
