Chapter 3064: Exchanging Gifts, Buying Insurance

Actually, Lu Yin's Divine Envoy form is also quite tall, but because the Xintuosi home is very large—even the Golden Dragon form doesn't feel cramped—and Xia Duo and Lu Yin are still some distance apart, the height of over three meters is not enough to make Xia Duo look up.

It is just that Xintuosi, having just recovered his true form, is too oppressive, clearly exceeding any dragon Xia Duo has seen at close range before.

Even though he knows full well that Xintuosi would not be detrimental to him, this sense of oppression brought about by the vast difference in size remains unavoidable, and even after Xintuosi turns back into a Golden Dragon, Xia Duo still thinks of the other's Golden Dragon form from time to time.

Dragons are truly a miraculous species blessed by heaven!

They have immense strength, no lack of Wisdom, and more importantly, they are born with the ability for Spellcasting; this alone far exceeds humans, and even Elves. It is no wonder that the Plane of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire was ultimately unified by the dragon race.

The Main Plane is actually a kind of accidental phenomenon; it was the invading Elves who defeated the dragons. If there were only native Elves, perhaps it would also have developed like the Holy Golden Dragon Empire.

Perhaps the Golden Dragons, who revere order the most, would still occupy absolute dominance.

……

"Lu Yin, I want to gift a set of Dragon Scale Armor to Xia Duo, what do you think?"

"Although there is no precedent, it is not impossible. Most importantly, this Mage Xia Duo is not an ordinary guest. If you hadn't beaten me to it, I would have wanted to gift him a set myself!"

Divine Envoy Lu Yin said with a pointed meaning. Previously, he saw Xia Duo and Divine Envoy Kafa together, and although he did not understand why, he can now clearly perceive the existence of a Radiant Seal on Xia Duo.

From this perspective, Xia Duo is actually not an outsider; he should be considered a neighbor.

With the approval of Divine Envoy Lu Yin, the matter of gifting the Dragon Scale Armor to Xia Duo is settled. However, Xia Duo, as the recipient, is still a bit confused at this moment. Did Xintuosi mention gifting him armor before?

Although he felt some joy in his heart, he still told Xintuosi, "If this matter will bring you trouble, then let's just pretend I never mentioned it!"

"No trouble. If Lu Yin says it is okay, then it is definitely okay. I trust him. It is just that I do not have ready-made armor right now, and making it on the spot will take some time. If you are not in a hurry, Xia Duo, you can stay here for a few more days."

After Xintuosi finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yin, and Lu Yin also advised: "It just so happens that you can let Xintuosi show you around the city these few days and experience the customs of our dragon race."

"Xintuosi treats me so well, it makes me feel a bit ashamed!"

If it were not for the ties in the Main Plane, Xia Duo even feels that staying to live in the Kingdom of Radiance would be a good thing. If the place he first transmigrated to had been the Kingdom of Radiance, perhaps he would have settled down to live here in peace.

However, although he cannot settle here, staying for a few more days is not a problem. Furthermore, he also plans to use these few days to prepare a return gift for Xintuosi.

……

Next, with the participation of Lu Yin, the exchanges between Xia Duo and Xintuosi became more extensive. In addition to the Holy City, Xia Duo also told them about some interesting events and crises in the Main Plane.

When mentioning the Illuminati, Xia Duo also asked Lu Yin if it was possible that the Illuminati in the Kingdom of Radiance came from the Main Plane. Regarding this, Lu Yin specifically explained:

"Although I am not sure if the Illuminati in the Mortal Plane where you are and the Illuminati in the Kingdom of Radiance are the same, what I can be certain of is—"

"The Illuminati here in the Kingdom of Radiance is highly unlikely to have any problems. No one can hide their connection to the Abyss in front of a group of Divine Envoys."

"The most critical point is—this matter is just your speculation so far. You cannot initiate an investigation by the Kingdom of Radiance into a Combat Squad that has repeatedly rendered meritorious service based solely on a bit of personal speculation."

"You did not get a response from Divine Envoy Richi before, largely because of this. If you had evidence, you wouldn't even need to deliberately look for a Divine Envoy you know; you could just find any Law Book Divine Envoy and have them handle this matter."

"Then can I go to the Eternal Night Battlefield to investigate myself?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Better not."

Lu Yin gave his opposing opinion, "First of all, the Eternal Night Battlefield has strict staffing; it is a battlefield, not some other place. As soon as you arrive there, you will be assigned to the Logistics Department and will have no contact with the Illuminati at all."

"Even if you go as a private individual to fight the Abyss, the tasks assigned to you will basically be cleaning up the battlefield. It is almost impossible to encounter the Illuminati, who have official staffing and official combat missions."

"Finally, and this is a very critical point, to go to the Eternal Night Battlefield, you need to obtain permission from an Advanced Rank Divine Envoy. Simply put, you need to pass an assessment first before you can go."

"No matter what status you go with, this assessment cannot be waived. Fighting the Abyss is not something that can be done with enthusiasm alone; it also requires Wisdom and Courage, which are also the main goals of the assessment."

Lu Yin's words completely disrupted Xia Duo's plan. He had originally planned to head to the Eternal Night Battlefield after exploring the Golden Dragon City District. Now it seems that this decision was somewhat childish.

The Seven Dun Mage Association is really something; having stayed in the Holy City for so long, their understanding of the Holy City is really only a tiny bit more than his, an outsider, and nothing more.

Of course, it is also possible that the mages of the Seven Dun Mage Association at the time thought Xia Duo just wanted to take a look at the Eternal Night Battlefield, rather than go to the battlefield to investigate. The difference between the two is still very large.

Taking a look is nothing more than passing through—Xia Duo had passed through the Eternal Night Battlefield before, he just didn't notice it himself—whereas investigating requires at least staying there for a period of time.

If it were another battlefield, perhaps Xia Duo could be allowed to stay briefly to investigate, but the battlefield between the Kingdom of Radiance and the Eternal Night Abyss must be built upon rules and order. How could an irrelevant person be allowed to wander around at will!

Thinking this through, Xia Duo temporarily dismissed the idea of going to the Eternal Night Battlefield. It is not that he is worried about failing the assessment, but that Lu Yin has clearly stated that unless he can produce conclusive evidence, he cannot get the Kingdom of Radiance to investigate the Illuminati based on one-sided words.

Even if he went to the Eternal Night Battlefield, he wouldn't be able to investigate anything, and in all likelihood, he wouldn't even run into the Illuminati.

The most critical thing is evidence. As long as there is evidence, there is no need to go to any Eternal Night Battlefield; one could just find any Law Book Divine Envoy in the Holy City to get the matter handled.

And the Divine Envoy Lu Yin before him has the official position of a Law Book Divine Envoy. Since he has said so, Xia Duo really has no reason to doubt it.

Since that is the case, then let's just enjoy the last few days in the Kingdom of Radiance!

……

Next, Xia Duo stayed at Xintuosi's home, and was arranged to stay in the room Xintuosi likes most in his Elf form.

This room has a style that is similar yet different from the Elves of the Main Plane. In this familiar yet novel environment, Xia Duo felt very satisfied.
