Chapter 213: Mosquito Legs Offered Up

There is definitely a problem with Angli Territory, but Savile Territory lacks the ability to investigate there.

Thinking of this, Aipusi let out a long sigh, "Weakness is the original sin!"

"Aipusi, you—"

"I'm fine, I just feel like a lost fawn walking on a cliff, terrified with every step."

Perhaps feeling that his words were too pessimistic, Aipusi squeezed out a smile, "Don't worry, we are Princess's people now; even if the mastermind behind the scenes really comes, they wouldn't dare go too far."

Pinning his hopes on the opponent not going too far, Aiboke could understand the helplessness in his old friend's words, and secretly vowed in his heart to protect Savile Territory well.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a long time about topics related to territory development.

The night gradually deepened.

……

The next day, Xia Duo previewed "Intermediate Arcane Geometry" as usual, but considering he had to attend the Aideliqi family's dinner in the evening, he started making Magic Scrolls in the afternoon.

Just like yesterday, all were successful, but he made 10 in total today, which counted as a great success, and afterwards he deposited the 【Imprisonment Sphere】 into the Magic Net.

After finishing all this, the time was approaching evening. Just as Xia Duo changed his clothes and went out, he met Aideliqi who had come to look for him.

Seeing that Xia Duo had actually changed into formal attire for a ceremony, Aideliqi was somewhat surprised, "Xia Duo, you are too formal; it's just an ordinary dinner."

If this attire were Magic Equipment, it would be nothing, but this attire was just ordinary decorative clothing, only looking like Magic Equipment.

However, Xia Duo had his own thoughts; he knew that although Aideliqi's father held great power in the territory, he was essentially still an ordinary person.

His power relied on the Lord.

Xia Duo respected him, but only respected the Savile Territory Lord behind him; changing into this set of attire was actually a form of Stun, constantly reminding him that he was also a Mage like the Lord.

Moreover, Xia Duo also had some guesses about Dailike's purpose in inviting him; being formal at this time was also telling the other party not to try playing the emotional card.

"Meeting Lord Dailike for the first time, it should be formal." Xia Duo said while walking towards the Elevator, "It's getting late, let's set off quickly!"

Seeing Xia Duo say this, Aideliqi found it hard to say anything more and hurriedly followed.

……

Aideliqi's home was also in the Villa District in the north, but it was not by the water; instead, it was not far from the Town Hall, neighboring other Supervisors of the territory.

Coming out of the Mage Tower, the sky had already darkened significantly. Xia Duo and Aideliqi quickened their pace by tacit agreement, and in less than ten minutes, the two arrived at a manor that looked quite low-key.

A circle of waist-high, thin green plants was planted around it, making the scene inside the manor appear and disappear from view. Xia Duo had passed by here several times before, but never thought this was Aideliqi's home.

The entrance was in the southwest direction, and there were two soldiers wearing the territory's standard equipment at the door. After checking their identities and entering the manor, the area inside was not large.

At the very back was a small villa with a unique design, clearly a high-quality imitation of one by the water. A dozen meters away from the villa, there was a gaudily decorated stable and a few slightly more plain servant rooms.

From Xia Duo's aesthetic point of view, these buildings had different styles but were forcibly twisted together, which was quite strange.

However, in front of the host, Xia Duo said nothing, only listening to Aideliqi's introduction, saying that a certain patch of grass was where he often played as a child, and which tree still had carvings left by him and his brother.

It didn't take long to walk from the manor gate to the villa. Several servants standing in front of the pool at the villa entrance, watching, saw Xia Duo and Aideliqi come in together. Having been instructed long ago, they immediately split one off, shouting as they walked into the villa:

"Young Master Aideliqi is back, and Master Mage Xia Duo has also arrived!"

At the same time, the other two servants immediately greeted Xia Duo and Aideliqi and welcomed them inside.

And inside, Dailike also brought a few people to the door to welcome Xia Duo, while Aideliqi had already quickly run back to the side of a middle-aged woman.

Dailike stretched out his hand in a welcoming gesture and said loudly: "Master Xia Duo, the genius Mage of the Tower of Time, I have long heard Aideliqi mention you, but territory affairs have always been busy, and only today did I invite you to be a guest; it is truly a bit discourteous."

As he spoke, Dailike took another step closer, leaning towards Xia Duo, and said in a voice that only Xia Duo and he could hear: "Master Xia Duo, thank you for letting Aideliqi pull himself together."

"Please!"

……

Following Dailike's guidance, Xia Duo passed through the front living room and corridor, arriving at the banquet hall in the back.

Along the way, Dailike introduced his family to Xia Duo, as well as the other guests at tonight's dinner, "This is President Hans of the Hans Shanghui; the chamber of commerce mainly deals in grain trade."

"This is President Fulaike of the Shanjin Chamber of Commerce, mainly doing ore and weapon business; the territory's Ironmaster Buloutuo is the honorary Consultant of the Shanjin Chamber of Commerce."

Xia Duo nodded, noncommittal, while Dailike continued to introduce:

"This is President Masa of the Silaiwen Chamber of Commerce; he can get people from the core area of the Empire."

Hearing this, Xia Duo couldn't help but take another look at this small-eyed, smiling President Masa. This Dailike really had accurately gauged his thoughts!

Between grain, weapons, and people, it was as if he were afraid that he would find support; this was probably the local direct-line chamber of commerce of Savile Territory.

However, he expressed doubt about the capabilities of these three chambers of commerce; at least he had never heard Buloutuo mention any honorary Consultant of the Shanjin Chamber of Commerce.

And the names of these few chambers of commerce had no presence; Xia Duo had never even heard of them.

Of course, it was also possible that Xia Duo had ignored them before; after all, none of these people's businesses involved Magic Items, far less famous than the incoming Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

Xia Duo was thinking about the cooperation that might be reached tonight, and his feet had already followed Dailike to the banquet hall.

Arriving here, Xia Duo realized that Aidelian was not here. He had thought Aidelian was inside, but did not expect him to be absent, along with the other few guests.

Xia Duo was certain that tonight was aimed at his Daxia Territory. Of course, this was not necessarily a bad thing; to develop the territory quickly, the more support, the better.

Paying a certain price for this was also worth it; perhaps he could really exceed the range designated for him by the Savile Territory Lord within three years!

……

The banquet was an ordinary banquet; the only highlight was probably a bottle of Elf Fruit Wine. At the banquet, Dailike talked at length about the development strategy of Savile Territory.

During the meal, he mentioned several times, intentionally or unintentionally, that the three chambers of commerce—Hans, Shanjin, and Silaiwen—were not in the development plan of Savile Territory.

Xia Duo understood, and also talked about some interesting things in the Mage Tower, especially Aideliqi, who even performed a Spell during the meal.

Just a single 【Prestidigitation】 made the three presidents greatly surprised, and that expression did not look like a disguise, which also made Xia Duo more certain that the strength of these three chambers of commerce might indeed be limited.

However, even mosquito legs are meat, and Xia Duo would not refuse anyone who came.
