Chapter 455: test

Although the crowd dispersed, the female mayor who was pregnant still left Xia Duo with an old man, saying that as long as there is a need, he can ask the old man named Qiao to find her.
Xia Duo didn't refuse, so he took a group of soldiers and Old Qiao to look at the town. The town was very small, no different from the impression he had just seen from a distance outside.
It's hardly like a normal town, there are no shops, and no entertainment facilities. There are only rows of neat wooden houses. It is really a dormitory area of ​​a collective farm.
It has been a while since Xia Duo projected onto the Arcane Empire, but he had never been to the villages below, and he didn't know if the situation here was considered normal.
As for the memory of "Eddie", there are only the nursery school, apprentice school, and magic school. There is no memory of villages or towns at all, and to be more precise, there are no more memories of ordinary people.
After two rounds in this "dormitory area", the men in Heishi Town came back, holding tools, with their upper bodies exposed, sweat hanging on their heads and bodies, and they seemed to have been working outside for a long time.
At this time, the discovery spell still hasn't disappeared, but Xia Duo has roughly determined the direction of the caster behind—
Just in the direction he came, maybe in the city of Kiran!
With this judgment, Xia Duo's mind has become alive. Perhaps he has thought about all this. If he is replaced in the role of "Eddie", what will he do?
Thinking about it this way, things were much simpler. Let these returning men go home, and then Xia Duo came to the mayor's house.
At this time, in addition to the mayor, the pregnant woman, there were two more men in the family, who just came back, but at this time Xia Duo had already excluded her own cognition. From the perspective of Eddie, there seemed to be nothing wrong. of.
[Inquiry]!
From the perspective of magic, Xia Duo clearly saw that within a range of about one meter from the source of the spell, a faint aura appeared, completely covering the target he was asking about, a bit similar to the main plane of Leiden. 【The Realm of Honesty】.
However, the effectiveness may be inferior. This is the first time that Xia Duo has used mental spells against humans. In fact, he is not sure how effective it is. After all, it involves the fields of mind and will. Xia Duo does not study deeply, but "Eddie" shouldn't doubt it.
"Mayor Tess, I ask you, besides us, have any strangers been here recently in town?"
"No."
"Why is there no childcare center in the town?"
"Before you arrived, just left."
"Are the men in town really building roads?"
"it is true."
When I asked this, Xia Duo actually had the answer in his mind, but the last key question is still to be asked, "Have you heard of the'Mother God of Creation'?"
"No."
There is no abnormality in the magical aura, and even the expression is not abnormal. If it can be disguised as this, "Eddie" will definitely not be able to tell.
Of course, Xia Duo himself did not see any abnormalities, except for the inherent cognition to look at the strange feeling in the town, he did recognize only the question and answer with the mayor.
Then, he randomly selected two households and also cast the spell [inquiry], and the results were normal.
Just as he was about to take further measures, a familiar voice suddenly heard in his ear, "Okay, the mission is over, come back!"
The person who was calling was Osker, the chief judge of Kiran City, whom Xia Duo had just met not long ago. By this time, Xia Duo was completely sure that the so-called peeping was entirely Osker.
If this is the premise, then perhaps this mission is just a test for him to join the Second Court.
As for what to test, it is actually not difficult to guess, as long as you substitute the perspective of "Eddie" and compare your own judgment, you will almost understand.
Perhaps next, there will be more tests.
...
Back at the Second Court of Kiran City, Xia Duo handed over the task and was told that there would be another task tomorrow, but there was only one task document from today's task, which was different from the "Devil's Handbook".
While being informed of the mission, Xia Duo also received a light ring, an official judge's robe (magic item, not before), and a whole box of magic scrolls.
"Looking at this preparation, could it be a combat mission tomorrow?"
However, when he saw that more than half of the scroll box contained [inquiry] scrolls, Xia Duo felt that he was wrong again.
After returning to the residence, playing the ten posted women, Xia Duo started her own research again. On the bright surface, there were books and manuscripts related to the judgment spell on the desk, but in it, Xia Duo could not fully understand the time. Flower on it.
In order to avoid possible surveillance at any time, Xia Duo put the real research site in the portable space.
Psychic spells are indeed very useful, and he is really interested. With the magical knowledge of his high-level mage, the research progress has long been beyond the scope of normal graduates, and he has time to do other things.
For example, learning the prerequisite courses for advanced arcanists.
Of course, since discovering that the magic knowledge here is more open, Xia Duo has decided to rank advanced slightly behind, and to advance the priority of acquiring knowledge slightly~EbookFREE.me~ so he actively performed, hoping to get better If you don’t, just fish like Charlie.
Although the Arcane Empire did not set up any obstacles in the acquisition of knowledge, basically it can be obtained by applying, but the higher the authority, the wider the scope of the application and the smaller the restrictions.
As for entering the library to study on your own, it is also a good choice, but the problem is that all spellcasters in the Arcane Empire are "civil servants" and are no longer as "free" as they were when they were students.
Moreover, there is another most critical issue, that is-there is no library in Kiran City!
This was also known to Xia Duo when he arrived in Kiran City.
The library is only available in each college. If you want to pass, you must go through the transmission circle of the Transmission Department. This is not just a matter of time, but also points and permissions.
In short, the imperial mage wants to gain more knowledge and more freedom, basically there is only one way to choose, and that is to climb up.
In addition to political achievements, the most important thing is magical attainments. After all, it is an arcane empire. As long as you become an arcanist, you have everything.
But this was something that Xia Duo couldn't show right away. His performance was too much, and he would only invite their own scrutiny. If he was really a native like "Eddie", it wouldn't matter, but as an outsider, he knew he couldn't stand it. Strict review.
All the geniuses who can only maintain normal, avoid becoming evildoers and attract censorship, but at the same time, they should also pay more attention to their political achievements in order to be promoted as soon as possible and obtain higher authority.
At the very least, the salary points must be able to sit on the teleportation circle of the college library.
Otherwise, what do you do as an ordinary judge who applies for knowledge and spells that are not in charge all the time! Isn't this looking for a review!
