The three of them were stuck here, and more and more people were paying attention. Although there might not be anything bad, there wouldn't be anything good either. Xia Duo called the middle-aged bearded man and went to Niya.
Walk to the edge of the arena.
The bust of the caster, which is as tall as one person, can barely block one side of the line of sight. Xia Duo has made a gesture not to attract attention. Among the onlookers, except for a few who are still looking this way, most of the others have turned away.
His eyes were looking elsewhere.
After casting [Sound Isolation Barrier] as usual, Xia Duo looked at the middle-aged bearded man and said, "Don't tell me, the spell book is on you."
According to what the other party said, what he wanted to sell was a real spell book, so at least the spell book made by a high-level mage must be a magic item, but Sha Duo did not see any magic aura in him.
If the other party really says that the spell book is on him, he is definitely a liar, and then Xia Duo will let him see the consequences of deceiving him!
"Sir, how could I carry such a treasure as a spell book with me! And with so many people here, there may be many pickpockets!" The middle-aged man with a beard looked around and said cautiously.
"How many gold coins do you want for this spell book?"
"This, this--" The middle-aged man with a beard rubbed his hands and said nothing, but glanced at Niya.
Niya frowned and spoke for the first time, "Do you have a spell book? If so, tell me the price! Don't waste our time!"
"My lords, my lords!" The middle-aged man with a beard showed a trace of panic on his face, and he quickly told the truth, "The spell book is at my house, but I don't want any gold coins."
"Don't want gold coins? What do you want?" Xia Duo asked.
"I want to ask you, sir, to save my son!"
The middle-aged man with a beard glanced at Xia Duo, and then turned his gaze to Niya, his eyes full of expectation. If it weren't for the inappropriate location, he would even want to kneel down and plead sincerely.
"Tell me the specific situation! Where did the spell book come from? What happened to your son? Why did you come to us?"
At this time, Xia Duo had realized that this guy was definitely looking for them. Although he didn't plan ahead to wait for them here, there were no other mages besides him and Niya, but the other party only stopped them.
, there must be a choice.
And asking a mage to save people is a bit unreliable no matter how you look at it!
"Sir, the spell book is left by our ancestors and has been passed down from generation to generation. It is absolutely true."
"I can't tell that you are still a descendant of a high-level mage. How did you end up like this?" Of course, Xia Duo didn't really want the other party to answer this question. He just complained, and then asked: "Then what happened to your son?"
"My son suddenly fell ill some time ago and became very weak. Now he can't get out of bed. I——" Speaking of his son, the middle-aged man with a beard burst into tears.
His son has been very smart since he was a child, and he is about to reach adulthood. The whole family's hopes are pinned on him. Now he suddenly falls ill and may even die at any time. How can this not make people feel sad!
Xia Duo shook his head secretly and asked: "Why did you go to the mage when you were sick? Didn't you go to the temple?"
The temples in Netheril sometimes serve as hospitals. Under normal circumstances, common diseases can be cured. Basically, if the temple cannot cure them, the mages will not be more hopeful.
The middle-aged man with a beard wiped his tears and adjusted his mood, "Sir, the priest of the temple said that my son has been cursed by blood. If you want to lift it, you have to find a bishop. But my family has no money anymore, let alone contact the bishop.
I came here just to try my luck, hoping to meet someone who can save my son."
Xia Duo understood that their relationship was not their first goal! How could someone with the status of a bishop come to the arena to watch the game alone without any bodyguards!
Even if they are encountered and stopped, it may not necessarily be a good thing.
"Then you stopped us? How do you know if we can save your son?" While the arena was not open yet, Xia Duo didn't mind saying a few more words.
"Also, there are quite a few mages here, why did they find us?"
"Sir, my son is about to die. No one from the temple has come, so I can only find the mage. As for why not others -" At this point, the middle-aged bearded man looked at Niya again.
This time, Xia Duo also noticed something was wrong, "Do you know my companion?"
"I don't know him, but I recognize the emblem of Giles Tower. I stayed here before dawn today, and I only found a mage from Giles Tower."
Sha Duo immediately sent a message to Niya, "No one from Giles Tower came to watch the game?"
"They teleported directly into the arena." Niya replied.
"and you--"
"Didn't we make an appointment to come together?"
"..."
Well, if he hadn't met this middle-aged bearded man and Niya herself hadn't said anything, it would have been difficult for Xia Duo to know that Niya was accommodating him.
The three of them were talking when there was a sudden chaos at the entrance of the arena. It turned out that the entrance was open, and the middle-aged bearded man became even more anxious. He looked at Xia Duo and then at Niya, "Two adults -
—”
"After the arcane competition, we will go to your house to look at the spell books." Sha Duo stopped Niya who was about to speak and said first.
Since the goods were not seen, the deal was of course not concluded. Moreover, Xia Duo emphasized one point, "If the spell book is true, then I can try to save your son, but I can't guarantee success. You have to
Be mentally prepared, or just find someone else!"
With that said, Xia Duo left his secret mark on the back of the middle-aged bearded hand, and without waiting for him to continue speaking, he directly pulled Niya towards the entrance.
…
Nowadays, Chateau's Aohuo is connected to the Magic Network at any time, and is much more sensitive to the Magic Network than before. As soon as he entered the arena, he noticed that the surrounding Magic Network environment was different.
It seems that it has been restructured and become more orderly, giving it a mysterious feeling.
But Xia Duo has personally experienced the Mystery Lock. There are the Mystery Locks in the normal state of the projection plane, and the Silent Mystery Locks at the beginning of the Elf Ruins in the Green Bead Forest. The magic network environment here is still very different from the Mystery Locks.
But even so, this reconstructed and highly ordered magic network environment still fills Xia Duo with awe, which is something he cannot achieve at present!
…
After actually entering the venue, Xia Duo discovered that there were so many people outside, but actually very few people came in, not even one-tenth, and most of them were spell casters.
The inside and the outside are like two worlds, the outside is the noisy world of ordinary people, and the inside is the deserted world of spellcasters.
