Chapter 963: Not Eating Is Fine, Transmigrating Again

"What on earth is going on!"

Xia Duo tore at his hair a few times; if he could trade his hair for the answer to this question, he would do it in a heartbeat!

But in reality, there was no transcendent existence to let him trade his hair for answers, so he had to abandon this tempting thought and gulped down the "Elf Hot Drink" on the table, which had already gone somewhat cold.

The sensation of being cool first and then warm refreshed Xia Duo's spirit, and he then slumped back into his chair, rubbing his aching brow while continuing to ponder.

……

"Ding-a-ling—"

A warning bell, born from the depths of his heart, suddenly rang out. Xia Duo was immediately annoyed; he had just found a train of thought only to have it interrupted.

It was only because his memory was extraordinary, allowing him to trace back his entire psychological state from just a moment ago, that he remained calm; if it were someone else, they might have had the urge to kill.

Casually flicking the several Magic Net Strings that constituted the Warning Magic to stop the alarm sound and releasing some of the restrictions, a rather respectful male voice came through—

"Lord Xia Duo, your dinner has arrived!"

Hearing the voice outside, Xia Duo realized it was already evening. In fact, the collective rehearsal had ended quite early, and since he had sat here in a daze for half the day, it was indeed evening.

"No need, I have food with me, do not disturb me!"

To be honest, Xia Duo was not comfortable eating food from outside. Although he knew the possibility of an accident was very small, ever since he transmigrated, caution had become a natural habit.

Unless it was truly unavoidable, he would not eat food from others.

Even with his own things, Xia Duo would use 【Detect Poison】 to check them. Of course, the essence of this spell was merely searching for whether the target contained pre-set specific substance information.

In other words, if the target contained a new type of poison, it could not be detected, unless one constantly expanded the sample library to minimize risk.

However, 【Detect Poison】 in Divine Magic could judge the reaction of specific substances in the human body, similar to simulating tasting the poison oneself, so its reliability was very high.

But Divine Magic almost always involved gods; although it was still an application of Holy Power, it was no longer the crude application of the nature of Holy Power itself, and it was very difficult to replicate using Arcane Magic.

In fact, when in the Territory, the food delivered to Xia Duo was almost always personally checked by Laidun. At the Tower of Time, Xia Duo rarely had people specifically prepare food, preferring to eat what he had stored in his Personal Space in advance or taking "mess hall food" to avoid giving opportunities to those with ulterior motives.

Of course, the fact that he was not very satisfied with the food at the Tower of Time was also a reason. The chef in the Territory, Kuke, had already been trained by him; usually, besides cooking for himself, Xia Duo ate what Kuke made.

In Seventon, there was no Chef Kuke who was familiar with the cuisine of his hometown; the food here was better left uneaten!

Xia Duo refused quite decisively, and the person outside did not insist, simply saying "Call if you need anything" before leaving directly.

……

Having restored the Protection and Warning Magic, Xia Duo stretched his back long and hard, preparing to rest; the aftereffects of his long-term Perception of his Soul had appeared.

He hadn't felt anything while thinking just now, but once interrupted, exhaustion immediately surged in, making it hard for him to focus on thinking.

He didn't have much Bonu Original Leaf left, and Xia Duo didn't want to consume it in this situation. Since it was evening, he would just use sleep to recover!

And because he had not yet mastered cross-Plane Sending, he had no chance to say goodnight to Niya. After making his bed, Xia Duo soon fell into a deep sleep.

Crossing through a hazy mist, his consciousness gradually awakened, just like the dreams he had during Bloodline Awakening. Xia Duo could clearly think for himself, but the scene and the form of expression were completely different—

This was a wilderness so vast it had no end, covered in all kinds of weeds; some reached the ankles, while others were as high as the waist.

Occasionally, a few miscellaneous trees were sparsely distributed across the wilderness, giving it a rather desolate feeling.

"Is this a dream? Or have I transmigrated again?"

Xia Duo jumped on the ground. Although he realized he might have encountered some kind of accident, his heart was unusually calm, and he could even nonchalantly check his physical condition and the state of the Magic Net around him.

The former was human instinct, while the latter was the instinct of a Spellcaster—or rather—an Arcanist.

There was nothing unusual about his own body, only that all the Magic Items he carried with him were gone, which did not move Xia Duo in the slightest.

As for the Magic Net, the Magic Net existed here. It seemed he had not transmigrated to some unknown Universe; he could still clearly perceive and contact the first seven layers of the Magic Net.

It was just that the Magic Net environment here seemed to have very subtle differences compared to the Main Plane he was most familiar with. If one did not perform a specialized check and only relied on rough perception with consciousness, it would be very difficult to distinguish.

Perhaps this was still the Main Plane, just that the location might be a bit far from Netheril!

Xia Duo was just having the thought of checking, but before he could put this thought into action, a human voice from afar suddenly startled him awake—

How could he be so careless as to check right here!

He definitely had to find a safe place first!

Regardless of whether he had transmigrated again or was having a rather strange lucid dream, his own safety had to be considered first.

Since the Magic Net here was not much different from what he was familiar with, he immediately chose to teleport away; in any case, he would find a safe place first.

As for the method of teleportation, it was naturally Fuzzy Teleportation.

He chose to teleport to any location twenty kilometers away where there were no humanoid creatures nearby. The process of teleportation had slight differences from the one he was familiar with.

But soon, Xia Duo was in no mood to consider those details. The scene before his eyes made him choose to teleport again; this time the teleportation was completely subconscious, only hoping to get away from this area as quickly as possible.

Soon, the second teleportation was completed, still in a wilderness covered in weeds, but before he could stay for long, human voices came from afar again.

"How is this possible! I clearly chose a location with no humanoid creatures nearby, but that sound is clearly a human voice!"

This time, Xia Duo did not choose to continue teleporting, but crouched down to hide himself with the weeds and listened intently. Strangely enough, as he listened, the sound seemed to get closer and closer, and at the same time, clearer and clearer—

"Expansion, expansion!"

This—

Xia Duo was almost stunned; this was clearly the Netherese language. "Could it be that I transmigrated to somewhere in Netheril?"

Linking this to the environment here, could it be that he transmigrated to the Kangqi Plain after taking a nap? As far as he knew, currently in Netheril, besides Daxia Territory, only the Kangqi Plain had people expanding.

Thinking this, Xia Duo was about to get up and prepare to cast a spell to investigate the surrounding situation. Since it was very likely Netheril here, he didn't need to be too cautious.

As long as he wanted to run, even a Great Arcanist might not be able to stop him!
