Chapter 818: Drawing Hatred, Heli'en

Outside Duomutuosi City.

Xia Duo looked at the thick tree trunk less than an arm's length in front of him, a drop of cold sweat seeping from his forehead, while a lingering fear gripped his heart.

This Fuzzy Teleportation had almost played him to death.

Although he had tried his best to choose an open area when positioning the teleportation, this kind of heart-stopping teleportation method really didn't suit him.

However, Xia Duo also understood that only Fuzzy Teleportation was the most suitable way to run away; the prerequisite for Fixed-point Teleportation was knowing the Six-dimensional Coordinate of the target location.

Even if he had prepared several safe points for temporary evasion in advance, in the process of running away, no amount of safe points might be enough.

In the end, he still had to rely on Fuzzy Teleportation.

Back when he was in the Main Plane, he hadn't tried such an exciting game of running away!

The most exciting time was just that one in Rodney Territory, but that time, Rodney Lord only chased him for a while before giving up, and then went straight to the Tower of Time to wait for him.

Here, there was no lair like the Tower of Time for people to come knocking, but correspondingly, he had emptied Genite's collection; if Genite had even a shred of temper, he wouldn't let him go.

Let alone chasing for a while, Xia Duo estimated that the guy wouldn't give up until he caught him!

……

Perhaps this chase and counter-chase could be treated as a game now, but once back in the Main Plane, it would be a real battle.

Regardless of how the higher-ups of both sides controlled the intensity of the conflict, people like Xia Duo who personally participated in the actions were truly walking on the edge of life and death.

Concerning his own life, he naturally had to make the most of the Projection Plane now to probe the Elves' methods, so that he could better survive in the Main Plane.

Perhaps he could pin his hopes on the Princess not wanting her student Niya to die, and Niya not wanting her husband to die, but pinning hopes on others was foolish in itself.

If it were a matter of necessity, that would be one thing, but now that he clearly had the opportunity to take the initiative, if he didn't seize it, wouldn't that be even stupider than pinning hopes on others?

……

Comparing with the Surface map brought up from the Underdark, Xia Duo began to consider which city to go to next.

The pressure given to him by just an Elite Mage like Genite, or a border city like Domutos, was limited after all.

He prepared to pull off another job in Domutos, draw enough hatred, and then head to the next city to continue drawing hatred.

After all, this was the only chance to practice with the Elves without fear of life or death in a short period of time, so he had to make full use of it and not waste it casually.

Hiding outside the city for two days, during which, as Xia Duo expected, the pressure Genite gave him was really too small; apart from occasionally using the Scrying Spell to search for his location, he didn't even have the Courage to teleport out.

Perhaps the other party was brewing something big for him, but Xia Duo was already getting impatient.

Late that night, he snuck into Duomutuosi City again, destroyed the entire Statue of the High Mage in the center of the inner city, and left behind provocative text.

The High Mage sculpted by that Statue was an ancestor of the Diruonuosi family in the city, who had long since passed away; if that High Mage were still around, the Diruonuosi family wouldn't have been reduced to settling in a border city.

But even if the family had fallen on hard times, it was impossible for the Diruonuosi family to let the ancestor's Statue be destroyed by someone.

Perhaps precisely because they had fallen on hard times, they might value this High Mage Statue that could bring them huge influence even more, and would be even less likely to let the destroyer go.

……

After destroying the Statue, Xia Duo didn't linger at all and immediately teleported away, followed by several more rounds of Fuzzy Teleportation; even after he was far away from Domutos, he still felt a heavy weight in his heart.

He didn't know if it was the backup plan of that Statue or if the Diruonuosi family had already started investigating, but regardless, Xia Duo finally felt the pressure.

Taking out the map, Xia Duo roughly distinguished his location and found that he had arrived near another border city of Siluwende.

This city was closer to Eaerlann than the previous Duomutuosi City, almost right on the border line between the two countries. And the previous Domutos, rather than being called a border city, was more like a marginal city, not even having a single High Mage.

But this city was different; it was marked as extremely dangerous on the Drow map, with a High Mage stationed there.

Xia Duo didn't want to provoke a High Mage for the time being, so he carefully glanced in the direction of the city and began to silently calculate the teleportation parameters for the true target city.

Before the next tracking from Duomutuosi City arrived, he teleported away.

……

Heli'en.

For the second city Xia Duo chose to draw hatred, besides Domutos which he had investigated himself, choosing Heli'en was more based on the Drow map.

This city had no High Mage stationed there, at least, there was no relevant mark on the Drow map.

Actually, Xia Duo was also a little excited about challenging a High Mage in his heart, but out of rational consideration, he wouldn't actively provoke one; if he accidentally provoked one, he would just treat it as an upgrade in the game's difficulty.

Late at night, he carefully snuck into the outer city of Heli'en; different from Domutos, there were Night Patrols in the outer city here.

But for Xia Duo, who walked in the shadows, these Patrols were just for show.

……

Randomly choosing a residential house, Xia Duo snuck into it and happened to see a female Gold Elf sewing clothes under the light.

Without too many words, Xia Duo started directly with the mind Spell 【Stun】, followed by 【Command】; he didn't reveal his figure, still hiding in the shadows, and asked through his voice:

"Tell me, which is the most powerful family in the city? What does the emblem look like? Does this family have a High Mage?"

"The most powerful family is the Heli'en family, the emblem is a long sword and a sunflower, and the Heli'en family has no High Mage."

Good fellow, naming the city directly after the family name!

Xia Duo knew this was the target he was looking for; no High Mage, yet very powerful, the pressure it could give him was just right.

After all, the joint operation in the Main Plane wouldn't let them go fight High Mages, right!

Even if they really had this ability, once such a fight started, the conflict between the two countries would be hard to end.

He casually threatened, "Dare to reveal my existence, and next time I come, I will definitely take your life!"

Then he released the control over this female Elf, and Xia Duo observed quietly for a while; confirming that the other party had no intention of snitching, he then retreated silently.

……

Inner city, where the Heli'en family was located.

When Xia Duo found this place, it was already close to dawn, but seeing that there was still obvious light inside the Heli'en family, he still decided to take the risk.
