Chapter 712: News of Big Shots, Changfeng Tower

After paying, Xia Duo put away the two Communication Magic Tools on the bar, ordered a glass of 【Elf Dream】, and then continued to ask Beike:

"Besides this new type of communication spell, is there anything else interesting lately?"

The commission from a glass of 【Elf Dream】 was not small, so Beike quickly regained his composure. He immediately thought of something and said:

"There is one more thing, which has never appeared before, but its authenticity is not very certain!"

"Oh?"

"This time it is really uncertain, I also heard it from others!" Beike hurriedly explained.

"Then let's hear it!"

Xia Duo did not care about the authenticity of the news; even if it were all fake, it would still reveal some real information. After all, he had never seen information that was completely fabricated and had no reference to reality at all!

If he really heard such information, it would still be considered a gain.

"The incident happened a few days ago. Two guests came here to drink and occasionally mentioned that they heard someone saw a group of strange creatures suspected to be dragons in the northern sea. They were huge, had wings, swam faster than ships, and were heading east."

"I heard about this too! It seems to be true!" Ai Si suddenly interjected.

"True?"

"I mean it's true that someone saw those creatures; as for whether they were dragons, I'm not sure!"

Although he said that, Ai Si suddenly pointed mysteriously at the top of his head, "Lord Xia Duo should know what is there, right!"

At first, Xia Duo was a bit confused, but after realizing the true target Ai Si was pointing to, he understood instantly. It seemed it was indeed possible that it was a group of white dragons. It was nothing strange for dragons to swim; humans could swim too!

As for why the person who saw the white dragons wasn't killed, that was unknown. Perhaps it was a Drow summoning, or perhaps the dragon, having fallen into a state of frenzy, simply didn't notice the person.

Here, Xia Duo showed a look of realization, but Beike was somewhat bewildered and even looked at the roof, finding nothing strange.

He wanted to ask but didn't dare, so he had to continue his introduction.

Before long, Ai Si suddenly received some communication message, his face turned gloomy, and he apologized to Xia Duo and left early.

After Ai Si left, Xia Duo also felt it was time to leave, but he finally asked tentatively, "Is there any news about the big shots above?"

"Yes! Which big shot does the guest want to know about?"

"Just tell me whatever."

Xia Duo dared not reveal any purpose; who knew who was behind Beike? Besides, he really didn't have any purpose, just satisfying his own curiosity.

"Guest, what is currently known is that the one from Morien Tower is said to be no longer in Netheril, but has gone to Cormanthor."

Xia Duo had long known about Grand Arcanist Lander going to Cormanthor for support and was not surprised. He continued to ask: "Anything else?"

"Also, Grand Arcanist Kangjienio, he has led people to the Elf Kingdom of Illefarn for an exchange visit."

Xia Duo had some impression of this matter; it seemed Niya had mentioned it while chatting, but Niya didn't seem to know who exactly was leading the team at that time.

He didn't expect that it was actually Kangjienio leading the team himself!

Xia Duo suddenly had a premonition that perhaps this would be the last official activity personally hosted by Kangjienio, and the Arcane Union would enter a brand-new Iolum Era afterward.

"Is there anything else?" Xia Duo asked again.

"There is one last piece of news: the one from the Gray-White Spiral Tower is blocking the outside of the Tower of Wisdom, threatening—"

Speaking of this, Beike suddenly paused, leaned over to bring his head close to Xia Duo, and lowered his voice extremely low, "That person threatened that if they don't give him a satisfactory explanation, he will keep blocking there. Now many people are worried about whether they will fight."

Gray-White Spiral Tower? Tower of Wisdom?

Xia Duo immediately found two corresponding names in his mind—Grand Arcanist Braun and Weide Grand Arcanist. How did these two suddenly get involved with each other?

Especially Weide, who could be considered the one with the least presence among the fifteen Grand Arcanists on the surface of all Netheril. Almost no news about him could be found in the outside world. If not for this time, Xia Duo wouldn't even have thought of this person.

Braun wanted an explanation; what kind of explanation did he want?

Xia Duo couldn't figure it out, but he knew that two Grand Arcanists having a conflict was not a small matter; if it were serious, it might even lead to a split in Netheril.

However, he couldn't afford to participate in such big events for now; he would just see how the Seven Towers handled it.

As long as the Seven Towers remained united, this matter should not be difficult to resolve, and at the same time, this was the best opportunity to resolve it. Once Cormanthor freed itself from the Drow War, it might really be troublesome.

At this moment, Xia Duo was truly worried about the fate of Netheril. Once this country fell into turmoil, where could he run to!

Hearing such news, Xia Duo had no mood to drink any more wine. It just so happened he was going to leave anyway, so let's end it here!

……

Just after leaving Purple Sky, Xia Duo did not immediately return to the Arcane Union, but found an empty place with no one around and contacted Niya through 【Magic Net Background Communication】.

"Why did you contact me suddenly?" There was some joy in Niya's tone, but also some worry.

However, Xia Duo did not focus on Niya's tone. At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts about what to do if those two guys started fighting.

"I heard a piece of news in Seventon and felt uneasy. I wanted you to inquire at Giles Tower. Can you contact the Princess now?"

"I can't contact the teacher!" Niya's words were full of disappointment, and he didn't know what she was disappointed about.

But Xia Duo only heard "can't contact," so he replied, "Wait until you contact her to ask. I am going to Rodney Territory now."

After speaking, Xia Duo interrupted the communication. Before those two started fighting, he prepared to hurry to Rodney Territory and finish his business.

Wandering outside at such a time was obviously not very safe; it would be bad if he were accidentally injured.

……

Returning to the Arcane Union Headquarters, Xia Duo skillfully checked the open Teleportation Arrays within Netheril and finally chose a teleportation point northeast of Rodney Territory called Changfeng Tower.

The territory where Changfeng Tower was located was called "Laiwensi," similar to the current Savile Territory and Daxia Territory; they all belonged to the Seven Towers Group, but the Lord of Laiwensi was closer to Jilan Tower.

Choosing Changfeng Tower, which was also in the Seven Towers Council camp, as a teleportation point, Xia Duo felt more at ease.

There wasn't much to the open Teleportation Arrays; as long as you paid, you could get the corresponding one-time Access Key, which was very convenient.

Although the existence of the Mage Tower itself was the greatest confidence, Xia Duo still felt that there were hidden dangers in this. However, this was not his own business after all, and it was convenient for him, so it was not that hard to accept.

Fortunately, the Tower of Time had never been so open, which made him feel very gratified and, of course, very at ease.
