When it was originally in the hands of the Harlan Chamber of Commerce, the official name registered with the Severnton Council was "Harlanside Manor", but when it was transferred to the name of the Tower of Time, Chateau changed its name to "Azure Manor".
The name has two meanings. One is the main building in the center of the manor - the two-story elf-style villa, which is overall blue.
The other one refers to the blue sky.
The manor is surrounded by green trees. As long as you look up, you can see a clear blue sky. From another angle, the blue sky is like the roof of the manor. The name really fits the scene.
Of course, there is another reason that Xia Duo doesn't want to mention, and that is that he is not very good at naming. As soon as he thought of such a useful one, he immediately used it.
…
The manor covers an area of nearly 20,000 square meters. If it were placed in the old city, it would be impossible to buy such a large manor. Even if it were rented, it would be a sky-high price.
The price Xia Duo paid for this manor when he bought it was 350,000 gold coins, but he actually paid for it with demon-slaying arrows, which probably cost him less than half.
This made him like this manor more and more the more he saw it.
Accompanied by Ava, Shado first walked around in the surrounding woods. When he saw the warning magic connected with the trees in the forest and connected all around, he nodded with satisfaction.
As they walked, Shado also told Ava, "From now on, your main task in Severington is to pay attention to all the important news here, and take the initiative to collect parts related to the southern border.
"As for the manor, you don't have to pay too much attention to some possible intruders and testers. Just give them a warning and expel them.
"If the other party doesn't listen, there is no need to conflict with them. Put yourself first. Write down their appearance and identity, and I will handle it myself."
"yes."
…
Soon, the two of them walked to the garden square in front of the villa. The original garden square was in the hands of the Harlan Chamber of Commerce and had become dilapidated. However, after the repairs and tidying arranged by Derrick some time ago, it now has a brand new look.
Walking among the flowers and plants, feeling the different natural atmosphere, Xia Duo felt a little happier. Unfortunately, the gardeners Derrick could find in a short time did not have much artistic quality.
Compared with the previous operations of the Harlan Chamber of Commerce, it is now significantly lower by several grades.
But fortunately, everything here is fresh and clean. If you don't live there for a long time and just come here once in a while, you won't have to pay much attention to it.
Warning magic has also been deployed in the garden square, but it is not connected to the surrounding woods, there is no interaction, and there are many loopholes.
However, this is how Xia Duo's mission was announced, and Master Weiji did nothing wrong.
Across the garden square is the main building in the center of the manor, a two-story villa where the owner lives, and a row of brick townhouses where servants and servants live.
Magical protection is mainly targeted here, especially the villa.
If you want to build an elf-style villa in Severton, not to mention the design cost, just in terms of materials and labor, it will be more than ten times higher than in the south.
It would be a shame if such a villa was destroyed.
…
Xia Duo walked to the door of the villa and was about to go in, but suddenly stopped. Ava was a little confused, but he soon understood.
After a while, I heard a sound of footsteps coming from inside the villa. I recognized it again and it was Master Weiji.
"Lord Xia Duo, I have completed the task you posted, please accept it!"
"I just watched it. It's very good. It fully meets my expectations. I will inform the Austrian and French Federation later. I have something to do here now, so I won't entertain you."
"Yes, then I'll take my leave first."
After Weiji left, Shado continued to check the protective magic covering the villa. It was level 5 and existed in the form of constant magic. For Ava, it was completely enough.
This is already considered a high-level mage-level protection and warning strength. No matter how high it is, it will not be of any use to those who are interested.
Next, what Xia Duo has to do is to knead the discrete protection systems of the entire manor into a whole, so that Ava can more easily understand and operate the protection facilities here.
This is what he planned to do from the beginning.
Nearing the evening, Sha Duo finally completed the real finishing work. With the help of some concepts and technologies of Elf Mystery Lock, he integrated the protection and warning magic arranged by Weiji.
And a management system was added on top of it to integrate various magic effects in the manor.
It's called a system, but it's actually different countermeasures set up for different situations. Ultimately, these measures are linked to a specially prepared spiritual amulet.
To a certain extent, this is the magic control core that Shado made with reference to the Mysterious Lock Key.
After handing the soul talisman to Ava, Shado explained: "This talisman is the key to controlling the manor's protective magic. It has two main functions you can use -
"One is to close the manor. Once this function is used, even you yourself will not be able to enter the manor normally. At the same time, the villa area will be completely blocked;
"The other is to remove the alert. If the alert of the manor's protective magic is triggered and is not released for a long time, the manor will be automatically closed. Remember to use it with caution."
Ava nodded, then took the amulet with both hands and skillfully linked it with himself. Seeing this, Sha Duo nodded with satisfaction and said:
"While I'm here, you can try it out first."
With that said, Xia Duo triggered the warning effect outside the manor on his own, and in an instant, several bright feedback lines composed of a large number of densely packed magic network strings appeared in the space inside the manor.
At the same time, the special spiritual amulet in Ava's hand also emits obvious magical aura.
This is an obvious vision that outsiders can see through magical vision, but for Ava himself, there are rapid alarm sounds in his consciousness.
He hurriedly fiddled with the amulet in his hand, and finally found the method to disarm the alarm. After some attempts, the alarm was indeed disarmed.
"You're trying to seal off the manor."
Ava responded and chose another operation method of the spiritual talisman. In an instant, a criss-crossing cluster of magic network strings appeared in the interior space of the manor, emitting an obvious magical aura.
At the same time, the two-story villa in the center of the manor was instantly shrouded in a huge transparent screen that shone brightly. The huge screen seemed to isolate everything, but it also revealed the slightest sign of instability.
Seeing this, Xia Duo quickly released the closed state of the manor. Although the current protection system of this manor borrowed some knowledge of the Mystery Lock, it is still based on the constant basis of magic.
Normal use may last for a long time, but after all, it is not as stable and durable as the Mystery Lock. Once the closed state is activated, it will actually forcibly activate higher protective magic at the expense of disintegrating the constant knot.
It can only last less than half a day at most.
But half a day is enough for Xia Duo to come to the rescue.
Even for Xia Duo, who has now mastered the resurrection spell, during this half day, even if Ava dies during this period, there is a greater chance of being resurrected.
