Here Xia Duo didn't speak or move, and the expression on Jibu's face kept changing, which made Xia Duo even more interested.
Is it because he was embarrassed because he refused before and now took the initiative? Or is it for some other reason? Xia Duo secretly guessed in his heart.
However, he doesn't have any bad taste in training others. His real confidence comes from his own strength and... the Tower of Time.
For him, political power is dispensable, and he does not need to use unsophisticated political power to rule his people. Perhaps wisdom and strength are more appropriate.
Wisdom is not about tactics, it may include, but more importantly, it is a set of solid rules.
The real art of governance in Xia Duo's heart lies in discovering the will in the hearts of his people, so that they can learn to fight for themselves and conquer by themselves.
That requires creating a relatively positive environment, using incentives to induce them, using threats to suppress them, and taking the right path, rather than simply playing political tricks.
Taking advantage of one's strengths and avoiding one's shortcomings is also a type of wisdom.
Without embarrassing Gibb too much, Xia Duo pointed to the third warehouse next to him and said to Gibb: "Let's go and see this old friend!"
What happened during the Orc War, even though almost two years have passed in Xia Duo's timeline, he still often recalls the various scenes at that time.
The first time I killed a "person", the first time I faced a life-and-death crisis, the first time I killed a mage, the first time I saw an undead creature. Although it only lasted less than a month, there was so much to remember.
Among these memories, Ava definitely accounts for a large proportion.
He was taciturn and unsmiling, but his work was not slow down at all. Whether it was vigilance, pathfinding, killing, interception, or opening dimensional bags and summoning magic mounts, Sha Duo left a very deep impression on him.
But after the war, he never saw Ava again.
The warehouses of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce at the port are all connected together. There is only a few steps from the second warehouse to the third warehouse. In just these few steps, Xia Duo has recalled all the details of the past.
And decided the attitude after meeting.
It was also during these few steps that Sha Duo realized that his memory seemed to have improved a lot. At least when he first left the projection plane in the Arcane Federation, he still had to think carefully about it when he saw Aibo Ke.
But now, he almost thinks of many things in the past. Maybe it's because of his deep memory, but Xia Duo thinks it's more because of the awakening of his bloodline.
He just awakened his bloodline last night, and he didn't have much time to explore it carefully. He only roughly knew that the power was not significantly improved, but that he had an additional ability named [Wind Control].
Now the memory ability seems to have been improved, which makes Xia Duo look forward to the next bloodline awakening. No wonder the Nese people regard having the warlock bloodline as having excellent magical talent.
Not to mention anything else, the improvement of memory ability alone can save countless repetitive labor on the road of magic, which is equivalent to extending the life of the caster in disguise.
According to Xia Duo's knowledge, people with warlock blood generally live longer than normal people. Even if there are magic to strengthen memory and extend life, having blood will still have advantages.
The only thing that is more worrying is the problem of having such a huge advantage but not knowing how to use it, and instead sitting on nothing.
This phenomenon is not uncommon, and even if the bloodline awakening is more stable, Xia Duo himself will want to sit back and take the cake!
…
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Xia Duo stepped into the third warehouse, but——
no one?
There was no one in the warehouse, but Gibb had no need to lie to him, and he didn't dare to lie to him. Xia Duo immediately concentrated on it, and the next moment he noticed someone's presence.
Just a few steps to the right of the entrance, under an open window, the sun shines in, bringing both light and shadow.
When Xia Duo came in just now, he could only see there with the corner of his eye, and the shadows under the light prevented him from noticing anyone's presence immediately.
However, all creatures have traces in the magic network, which is obvious to the caster.
only--
Everyone else is here, why doesn’t Ava come over?
Do you consider the warehouse your home? Or do you have any thoughts about him?
Shaduo calmly gave himself a 3rd level [Mage Armor] blessing, and before he could say anything, Jibu couldn't wait to shout out:
"Aiwa, the lord is here, why don't you come over and salute!"
Perhaps because he heard his name, the figure under the window suddenly moved slightly, but made no further movement.
"Sir, he is unconscious." Layton said suddenly.
"Ava!"
Hearing Layton's judgment, Gibb immediately became nervous and rushed forward to help the man huddled in the shadow under the window, while constantly calling, "Ava, Ava!"
While shouting, he looked back at Xia Duo from time to time, his eyes full of pleading.
Chateau pondered for a moment, and probably guessed something, but now was not the time to care about it. He looked at Priest Leiden, glanced at the window, and said:
“Go check it out!”
"yes!"
Priest Leiden agreed very simply and acted very straightforwardly, but looking at his eyes, he seemed to have a lot to say. Chateau understood that if the situation was like what he guessed, it would be normal for Leiden to have such a reaction.
Xia Duo also came closer. At this time, the light from the transparent window was no longer enough to hide the shadow below. It was indeed Ava, but his face was pale now, his lips were tightly closed, and his body occasionally trembled.
"Ava, Ava, Priest Leiden is saving you!" Gibb supported Ava and whispered in his ear.
As if he understood what he said, Ava's expression softened somewhat, but the slight trembling of his body still remained.
And Leiden came to Ava, squatted down, and stretched his hand to the top of Ava's head. A ball of holy light that was not bright but gave people a very firm feeling suddenly appeared in his hand.
The hand with the holy light went from Ava's head to the bottom of his body. Although there was no physical contact, the holy light penetrated into Ava's body.
After repeating it many times, Leiden stood up and reported to Shado, "Sir, he is not injured, but seems to be cursed."
"curse?"
"Yes, sir!"
Xia Duo became a little more interested. This was not the first time he had seen a curse, but the elf curse [Blessing of Joy] he saw last time seemed to be unsolvable, and what was going on this time?
He concentrated and observed Ava carefully, and indeed he discovered the incongruity in his own aura, but it was very inconspicuous. Even if Leiden hadn't told him in advance that it was a curse, he would never have thought of it.
However, if you are not injured and are still unconscious, then it is most likely related to magic, and curses are also a kind of magic, but curses are not common, and Xia Duo does not think there is anything wrong with the curse.
"Can you untie it?"
"This -" Leiden looked confused, "Sir, I can't untie it."
As soon as he heard that it was a curse and that Priest Leiden could not save Ava, Gib immediately panicked. He looked at Chateau, his eyes full of despair, and his whole person was filled with a sense of defeat.
