"Sir, regarding Master Muyan, the latest news is that he has just left the dwarf kingdom Danzo, and it is said that he is planning to go to Elfaran next."
"Um."
Xia Duo nodded slightly to express his approval.
Muyan's reputation is actually not that prominent in Netheril, and is more popular among bards. His most famous experience is a performance at the court of Cormanthor, where he is said to have impressed the elves.
Xia Duo has inquired about Mu Yan's identity and whereabouts many times before. In the Austrian Law Federation, they basically only know that such a person exists, but more specifically, the mages don't care.
On the contrary, in the tavern, I often hear news about Mu Yan. I have to say that things in the world are wonderful.
However, Xia Duo asked Mu Yan many times not because he wanted to find him, but because he just wanted to confirm the safety of this "common man" who had given him great help in the early stages.
Although they had only been together for a short time, he could see that Mu Yan was a casual and romantic person.
For such a person, preparing good wine and tea and waiting for him to visit will show more sincerity than deliberately looking for him.
After learning about Mu Yan's current situation, Xia Duo took out several gold coin exchange vouchers issued by the Austrian Law Federation from his dimensional bag, spread them out one by one on the counter, and said to the bartender:
"Since you know me, I have a task for you, and I hope you won't refuse."
"Sir, please give me your instructions."
"My territory needs a few bards who are good at creating. Just the ones you just mentioned, help me invite them. Half of these gold coins are advance wages for them, and half are considered as your running expenses."
Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo left his magic mark on the back of the bartender's hand and said, "I see you also have magic aura on your body. Do you know how to touch this mark?"
"I know, sir!"
"That's good, let me know when someone gets in touch!"
After saying that, Xia Duo left the tavern called "Drunkard's House".
…
When he came to the not very spacious street outside, Xia Duo continued walking towards the west. He did go to that tavern on a temporary basis, if not that one, it would be another one.
Or he might ask someone from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce for help, but he is not that stupid to earn favors for nothing.
But now it seems that it is time to send someone to stay in Sevington. Otherwise, if something happens next time, there will not even be an errand boy around. That would be too miserable and not in line with his current status.
They are all senior arcanists, but they still went to a tavern in person just for a few bards. If word of this got out——
It's not a big deal to be laughed at publicly, but it's very possible to make a few comments in private.
However, even the Grand Arcanist has someone writing pornographic stories, so what does it matter to him? Anyway, his mouth is on someone else, and if he spreads more words, it will actually increase his cloud energy!
…
Going further west from the Drunkard's House, passing through a residential area, you arrive at the real port area. In addition to a few pubs, there are more warehouses.
Continuing further west, we reach the Netheril River.
However, on the Severnton side, the Netheril River flows northward into the Narrow Sea. It is actually indistinguishable from the Narrow Sea, and the river is also very wide.
I don’t know if it was artificially expanded or if it is just like this naturally.
Once here, there are almost no restrictions on casting spells. In other words, he can teleport back to the Southern Territory here, or he can teleport here from the Southern Territory.
However, the magic network environment here is interfered by a large number of mage towers, and the probability of errors in direct transmission is much greater than in other places.
Portal is a good choice.
Of course, the safer approach is to stay slightly further away. Anyway, this distance is really not worth mentioning compared to the distance that can be saved by teleportation.
But this time, Xia Duo had no intention of trying teleportation here. He just wanted to take a stroll here.
Before today, he had been to Sevington many times, and also once for a special sightseeing tour, but this was the first time after becoming a senior arcanist.
This is completely different from the previous mentality.
At that time, he came to Severington with a very insecure and cautious attitude, but now, he is more calm and expectant.
This city finally has its place.
However, his real stage is not here, but in the Southern Territory, or in the entire Netheril, for which he is looking forward to it extremely.
…
On the bank of the Nese River, Xia Duo rose into the air and flew to the north. With his bloodline ability [Wind Control], the oncoming cold wind suddenly became invisible.
The Narrow Sea is relatively calm in winter. Although the southern section of the Nese River has long since frozen, it has not frozen near the mouth. Instead, shipping has become more frequent after the waterway to the south froze.
Just after arriving for a moment, Xia Duo saw more than one ship loaded with cargo heading west along the coast.
The next stop may be Zenis, and then through the lowland passage to the trading city of Ascor in the dwarven kingdom of Danzo.
Or it can be transported by sea all the way, from the port of Severton directly to the port of Ascol.
In the end, Xia Duo just made a few random guesses in his mind, and didn't think much about it. After flying north for about half an hour, the wind and waves had become stronger, and the biting wind was howling.
Xia Duo let go of part of the airspace assimilated by [Wind Control], and at the same time turned off the weak elemental balancing ability on the crimson protective robe, allowing the cold northern wind to blow on him.
Even though he had awakened his blood many times and his body was extremely strong, he couldn't help but shudder at this moment.
But this feeling was so good, being surrounded by magic all the time, it almost made him forget the feeling of natural hot and cold environment.
After a cold wind blew for a while, Xia Duo did not continue flying north, but fell into the water with a plop, and then turned into water and flowed freely.
At this moment, a feeling of pleasure comparable to flying freely in the sky came to my heart again.
Sure enough, the mentality is different and the feeling is also different.
…
After enjoying themselves in the sea for a while, Chateau returned to Severton and continued to wander around the city.
But at this time, he received an invitation from Mingshui Chamber of Commerce Said Consultant, inviting him to visit the headquarters of Mingshui Chamber of Commerce in the old city.
For Shado, who now knew the importance of a senior arcanist, it was difficult for him to refuse Said's invitation, and he invited him to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce as a guest, not to a private place.
It is very likely that she wanted to talk about some official business at the behest of President Jenna of the Myeongshui Chamber of Commerce.
And it is obviously not easy for President Jenna to have a senior arcanist as his subordinate and at the same time have a good personal relationship with Master Byron.
Maybe even a great arcanist.
Such an invitation cannot be refused.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo's aura of idleness and laziness was instantly wiped away, and he headed straight to the headquarters of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce in the old city.
