Arcane Lord

In fact, Shaduo did not think that Theremen's belief in the Lord of Glory could be that deep, but he did not discuss the issue of faith with him too much.

"Belief in the Lord of Glory" is considered to be Theremen's personality and the path he chose. As the saying goes, "People with different paths cannot work together." The two have different views. Although they are not completely strangers, they still have to keep a certain distance.

Seeking common ground while reserving differences is actually about this, and only discussing topics where the two sides have intersections or common interests.

The chess game is still going on. The two are still chatting while playing chess as at the beginning, but after the topic of faith just now, the two of them are very tacitly testing each other's tendencies and taboos.

In fact, Shaduo is not good at these, but he has already had his own goals, paths, ideals, and principles, and he doesn't care if others know about these things about him.

With his current status, there is no need to hide these. Actively expressing your attitude to others and gaining more support is the kingly way.

As for more secret information, it involves personal privacy, such as bloodline status. With Lord Leisen's wisdom and temperament, he would naturally avoid such information.

...

Soon, the sky outside gradually darkened. Although the bright magic lamps were lit in the reception room in time, both sides of the chess realized that it was getting late and it was time to stop.

Theremen stood up and walked all the way, saying solemnly: "Lord Xiaduo, let's stop here today. Thank you Lord Xiaduo for your guidance!"

"Then stop here. If you go on, I'm really worried that I will lose miserably!" Although Xiaduo's words were exaggerated, it also showed the speed of Lord Leisen's progress.

Hearing Xiaduo's praise, Theremen laughed immediately. As a person who loves [Arcane Puzzle], what could be happier than getting the affirmation of the founder of the Arcane Puzzle!

While the two were complimenting each other and heading to the restaurant for dinner, Stern came back from outside in a hurry, as if something big had happened:

"Lord Shado, father, the teacher is here!"

"What, the teacher is here!"

Theremen's face changed immediately, and he grabbed Stern's wrist and asked quickly: "Where is the teacher? Come to me!"

After that, he looked at Shado again and gave an apologetic look.

At this time, Shado was actually very surprised, and didn't even notice Lord Leisen's little expression, but his mind was full of thoughts-the sudden arrival of the great arcanist Cliff, couldn't it be because of me?

"The teacher is in the Mage Tower, father, Lord Shado, please follow me!"

Hearing his own name, Shado came to his senses a little. Now it was too late to leave. Wouldn't it be a slap in the other party's face to leave at this time?

Even if Cliff himself didn't care, there would be people who wanted to show off in front of the great arcanist to come and cause trouble.

"We'll go there immediately!" Shado responded, and motioned Stern to lead the way.

...

If there was no Shado, Stern might have teleported his father back from the manor to the nearby Mage Tower. But with Shado, the three of them could only walk back.

Taking advantage of the gap on the way back, Stern hurriedly told Shado about Cliff's temperament and preferences: "Teacher, I attach great importance to etiquette and order. Lord Shado will see you later. Please be patient."

Shado nodded silently. Speaking of which, he had not met the great arcanist Cliff yet!

The outside world's evaluation of Cliff focused more on his original origin, that is, he was a priest, and there was no more information about his temperament and preferences.

Shado had previously imagined Cliff's image. He should be a meticulous old antique, and he was very dogmatic and would scold the other party if he disagreed.

Now from Stern's description, it seems that he guessed it right!

However, why did Cliff suddenly come to the Leisen Territory this time?

After thinking about it, Shado couldn't figure it out, but he was still a little sure of one thing, that is, Cliff's visit this time should be harmless.

After all, he is now also a student of Iolum. There is no conflict that cannot be reconciled. Who dares to touch him!

Is Cliff worried that his research on negative energy will be exposed?

But there is no law in Netheril that prohibits the research of negative energy. At most, it is forbidden to produce undead creatures on a large scale.

As for the teachings of the Lord of Light, Shado is quite familiar with this. There is no clear rule that prohibits the research of negative energy.

As long as everything is in order and no chaos is caused, there will be basically no problem.

If there is really an energy opposition, then many death priests in the territory cannot live in the temple of the Lord of Light and would have been beaten to death long ago.

...

From the territory manor to the nearby magic tower, this section of the road is not very long. Until entering the magic tower and coming to the reception room where Cliff is, Shado is still guessing Cliff's intention this time.

At this moment, the Theremin father and son in front suddenly stopped, and seeing this, Shado also stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

However, this question seemed a bit redundant. The Theremin father and son had already demonstrated it in person. Stern summoned a mirror, and then the father and son adjusted their appearance in front of the mirror.

Seeing this scene, Shado couldn't help but feel a little funny, and it felt like a primary school student meeting the principal.

Of course, he did it himself. In any case, "when in the country, do as the Romans do" and "when guests do as the host does," it is always a fine tradition in his hometown.

Facing the mirror summoned by Stern, Sha Duo straightened his hair, which had grown longer during this period, straightened his robe, held the [Pioneer Scepter] in his hand, and adjusted his breathing ,mood.

Then he followed the Theremin and his son into the reception room.

…

As soon as he entered the reception room, Xia Duo's eyes lit up. It was really bright!

I saw a tall old man sitting in the reception room wearing a bright golden robe. In addition to the robe that looked like a golden thread, it was very conspicuous in the bright light. The short brown hair on the old man's head also shone brightly. light.

Seeing the three people coming in, the old man's originally tense expression relaxed for a moment, but then his face became serious again.

"Teacher!"*2

"Sir Cliff!"

Chateau, Theremin and his son saluted in turn, and Cliff returned the salute in turn, and then motioned for the three of them to sit down, which Chateau and the three of them did, without any rudeness in the whole process.

"Lord Xia Duo, I have heard of your name the year before last, but I didn't expect that you would grow up so quickly, and we would meet on such an occasion."

As soon as these words came out, Sha Duo immediately understood that Cliff came here to see him this time. He did not mince words and asked directly:

"Did Mr. Cliff come here because I asked Lord Leisen about the experimental accident?"
