Xia Duo quickly turned around, but didn't even find anyone, but the voice was still in his ears, "I heard you want to find me?"
It was Ava Shado who turned around again, but still found nothing. Although the afterglow of Amauna Tower had not dissipated at this moment, Shado felt extremely dark.
A drop of cold sweat slowly slipped from his forehead, and Xia Duo quickly said, "Aiwa, is that you?"
But got no response from anyone.
The sun was gradually sinking into the horizon, and Xia Duo could clearly see the shadows in the corner coming towards him little by little. This feeling reminded him of the morning when he escaped from the Old Neil Hotel.
He was also approached by a rogue. The only better thing was that Ava didn't press a dagger against his back like the rogue.
Of course, Xia Duo believed that with Ava's ability to appear and disappear, it would be easy to do this, which gave him a glimmer of hope.
"Aiwa?" Sha Duo called again.
But still no response.
When he turned another corner, he could see the stone building where Master Horst was located, but he was stuck here. At this moment, Xia Duo felt like he was riding a tiger.
Obviously Aiwa didn't want Xia Duo to find an official mage, but Xia Duo was unwilling to return just like that.
After weighing the left and right, Xia Duo decided to follow his inner choice - to return to the camp, but before leaving, he wanted to test it out.
Concentrating his attention and entering a state of concentration on spellcasting, Xia Duo carefully observed the state of the magic network around him.
The existence of any life is closely related to the magic network. Even the most ordinary breath can cause fluctuations in the structure of the magic network. However, these fluctuations are extremely weak and difficult for ordinary people to detect.
But mages are not ordinary people. Although they cannot detect even the weakest fluctuations of breathing, the existence of life itself is not difficult to discover.
As long as they are in a focused state, any life close to the mage can be discovered by the mage from the fluctuations of the magic network.
Just now, Xia Duo was suddenly approached from behind, and when he turned around and found no one, he was a little panicked. But now his rationality has returned to his brain, and Xia Duo does not think that Aiwa dares to kill him here.
Of course, there is no need for him to provoke.
That's why there was such a test. In a focused state, Xia Duo clearly felt that there was some slight disturbance in the magic net less than one step behind him. The characteristic was that someone was there.
Xia Duo turned around abruptly. Although he did not see anyone, he felt the "shadow" in the magic net suddenly move. Following Xia Duo's movements, it turned behind him again.
All fear lies in the unknown.
When Sha Duo knew that Ava was not really elusive, but was just moving faster than Sha Duo could turn his head, Sha Duo's fear was greatly reduced, and he had even thought of several ways to deal with it.
It's just that the state of concentration cannot be maintained for a long time, and Xia Duo is not sure how effective these coping methods are, so he doesn't want to fall out with Ava.
Without revealing Ava's location, Xia Duo pretended not to notice anything, and turned around several times to "see" the other person jumping back and forth like a monkey. Xia Duo's depression was relieved a little.
…
On the way back to the camp, Shado had been thinking about Ava. In this situation, it didn't sound like a conflict, but there was definitely a gap.
Now Xia Duo is afraid that Ava will give him a break during the mission. How to resolve this?
Unknowingly, I had reached the camp. At this time, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and a figure blocked Xia Duo's path.
"Shado!"
"Sammy? Why are you here?"
"Dwayne and I came here to study [Communication Technique] with you. The orc tide is about to begin, and I haven't been able to successfully release it even once!"
Xia Duo suddenly had a headache. Ava's matter here has not been resolved yet, and the problem of Sami's [Messaging Technique] came again, "Didn't you copy down all the contents on the learning scroll? Why still-"
I'm not embarrassed to call them stupid directly, but the tone is not much different.
However, Sami's focus was obviously not on this. He said in surprise: "You have learned [Messaging Technique]?!"
"Yes, I learned it."
"Great!" Sammy asked again, "Can we ask you for advice?"
"Of course, I just want to ask you some questions." Xia Duo readily agreed.
If they were in the mage tower, Sha Duo would definitely have to collect money, but now that they were outside, it was better to exchange some useful information. Besides, Sami and the others were Sha Duo's only partners, and they still had something to do with Dean.
difference.
Back to his room in the camp, Dewanen was already waiting here. When Sami said that Shado was willing to teach them [Communication Technique], he immediately expressed his gratitude to Shado.
The discussion began in such a harmonious atmosphere, with Sami and Devine asking Shado about spells, while Shado would ask Sami and the others about issues other than spells.
The problem with Sami and the others was not that they could not understand the principle of the spell, but that there were errors in the application level. After Sha Duo's reminder, they quickly successfully performed the [Messaging Technique].
In addition to understanding the principles, mastering a spell also requires a lot of practice. Now that the three of them are here, they target each other for communication practice.
Of course, during this period, it was inevitable to leave secret marks on each other. On formal occasions, the secret mark left by Sha Duo and Sami was no longer a graffiti-like smiley face pattern.
Instead, it is a Chinese character for "xia" surrounded by a circle, similar to a personal seal on Earth.
The three of them focused on practicing positioning and communication through secret marks. After all, in the wild, it was impossible for the two of them to always be within each other's field of vision.
Moreover, the distance of location and communication through the secret mark is also further. The three of them have not yet tried how far it is, but they must confirm this before starting the mission.
"Xia Duo, we have to go back, otherwise we will be in trouble during night patrols."
"Okay. By the way, Sammy." Sha Duo suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "Are there any adventurers joining your team?"
"Yes, add three adventurers."
"Then do you know their details?"
"I don't know, but it should be credible to be able to join the army with confidence." At this point, Sami suddenly lowered his voice, looked around, and said mysteriously:
"I went home in the afternoon and heard from my father that many armed forces from the chamber of commerce will follow the lord to participate in frontal battles, as well as some with criminal records or thorny adventurers. Our subsequent missions are relatively safe, so you don't have to worry too much.
"
Xia Duo nodded and believed Captain Gibb's words about Ava's trustworthiness, but it was impossible to relax his vigilance.
Then, Devine also talked about what he learned when he returned today.
"My father told me that the person in charge of the Plantagenet Chamber of Commerce in Savile Territory accidentally fell into the water not long ago because he refused to hand over the chamber's weapons."
Dewanen emphasized the word "accident", and Xia Duo instantly understood, but his focus was not on falling into the water, but on -
