Arcane Lord

You know, in the previous [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire], Sha Duo gained less than half of the academy library including the mithril refining method.

And in the [Projection Plane·Dark Area], he also gained a lot.

In addition to the knowledge of the Underdark itself and the hundreds of years of experience as a drow, there is also the private library of Matron Crowley, the private library of the elite mages of Elan on the surface, and the guidance of high mages.

Of course, there is also a mysterious key that he has manifested into the main plane.

And even more than these gains combined, Sha Duo would not have dared to think about it before he obtained the memory of "Lyle Alkarama". His main purpose of entering the projection plane this time was to complete the 8th ring level. Ring promotion trial.

but now--

He felt that he could definitely give it a try, but if he gave up, even if he became a Grand Arcanist when he returned, he would be unwilling to do so.

Just when Xia Duo was thinking about how to start his plan, there was a syllabic knock on the door, "Brother Lyle, father is calling you over!"

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, a name popped into Shado's mind - Celine Akarama, the sister of the body he projected.

An elf who has just grown up!

Faced with such a close person and the "father" he was going to see later, Xia Duo quickly adjusted his emotions, gradually sinking his human consciousness into the depths of his consciousness, driving the body's instinct, and responded:

"I know, I'll come over right now!"

——My father must have wanted to talk about the Excalibur Trial when he called me this time! What does a mere heir mean to him! But how could King Oceanus not foresee this!

——Besides, I am not the same person now!

…

Walking out of the guest room, Xia Duo saw the green and dense forest outside the tree house, as well as the ruins of buildings scattered in the forest that had not yet been completely cleared.

"Brother Lyle, hurry up! Otherwise father will be angry again!"

When Xia Duo was stunned, the young elf who had already walked far away on the narrow tree path turned back again, took his hand and dragged him forward.

Xia Duo hurriedly followed. To be honest, even though he had experienced becoming an elf many times, he still had very little experience walking on the suspended tree paths in the forest.

It can even be said that he has not lived in a tree house many times.

Elves do not live in trees as most Netherese people think. In fact, most of them live on the ground.

Treehouses are either lived by common people or are courtyards with various ancient trees, towering into the clouds, and must belong to wealthy and noble families.

Of course, the current location of Xia Duo's projected body is just a guest room in the Elf Court, which can be regarded as a civilian residence!

…

After several twists and turns, Sha Duo followed Celine to a guest room that was 80% or 90% similar to the tree house he was in before.

Here, he met the father of this body - the patriarch of the Sunwing family and a senior mage, Parias Akrama.

Xia Duo followed his instinct and saluted respectfully, "Father!"

"Lyle, my son, the divine sword is about to be forged. I ask you one last time, are you sure you don't want to participate in the trial ceremony?"

"No, father, I have changed my mind. I feel that if I can control a divine sword, it will definitely play an immeasurable role in the rise of the Sunwing family. As the heir of the family, I, Lyle Akrama, How could we abandon such a mission?”

Naturally, these words cannot come from the mouth of the real Lyle, but are the will of Sha Duo. The trial of the divine sword is his biggest opportunity in this journey to the projection plane!

Of course, opportunities often come with risks.

The so-called Trial of the Divine Sword actually means that Oceanus, the crowned king of Jelenstar, felt that his life was coming to an end and made a final prophecy before he died.

He predicted that there would be a great king who would unite all the tribes on this land and form one country!

After the prophecy, he invited many high mages to the Elven Court to forge the Elven Sword, and named the unified country "Cormanthor"!

There are three elven swords in total, namely the Sword of Domination, the Sword of War, and the Sword of Skills.

Among them, those who can pass the trial of the Sword of Dominance will become the crown king of Cormanthor in the future, while the Sword of War corresponds to the military commander, and the Sword of Skills corresponds to the spellcaster leader.

Of course, the latter two will surrender to King Mian.

As for the failure of the trial, the results of different divine swords are also different——

After failing the Sword of Domination test, the tester will definitely die;

If you fail the Sword of War trial, you will be attacked by the divine sword. If you are lucky, you can survive. If you fail the Sword of Skills trial, you will lose your ability to cast spells for at least twenty years.

Lyle Akrama, Shado's incarnation this time, is an elite mage, and his father originally wanted him to participate in the trial of the Sword of Skills.

But Lyle was always unwilling to take risks. He was confident that he could surpass his father and become a great high mage.

But Xia Duo is different. He is a projection, not his true body. It doesn't matter whether he dies or not. He will leave in the end anyway.

Therefore, he directly set his sights on the sword of domination that would yield the most profit.

This sword not only represents the identity of the future King of Cormanso, but most importantly, the power contained in it is enough to allow a novice who has never been exposed to magic to become a high mage in a short time! (Other divine swords have similar powers)

At the same time, it is said that there are many high-ranking mages who have injected a lifetime of knowledge and experience into him and obtained the Sword of Dominance. These are the most guaranteed gains.

How could this not make Xia Duo excited?

As for the sword of skill that Lyle's father wanted him to get, Shado didn't think much of it.

First of all, the three elven swords restrict the use of elves;

Secondly, the Sword of Skill is indeed the most suitable divine sword for mages to use, but Sha Duo's portable space may not necessarily be able to manifest it into the main plane. Even if it does, his body is not an elf and cannot be used.

Furthermore, even if it can be realized and used, such a powerful weapon will basically be targeted by the elves as long as it is used once. It is better to just get knowledge honestly.

As for the Sword of War, it does have great power, but for pure spellcasters, it may not be as practical as the Sword of Skills.

…

In the guest room.

Parias looked at his son with firm eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. You must know that just yesterday, he was still trying hard to persuade Lyle to participate in the trial ceremony.

Unexpectedly, Lyle's attitude had changed so much after just one night, but Parias didn't think too much about it and just thought it was his son who at the last moment understood the responsibilities he must have as the heir of the family.

"Very good! I will contact Master Mikael now and add your name!"

"No, Father, please wait!"

"Um?"

Parias's eyes narrowed, staring straight at his youngest son like a hawk. Did he change his mind again?

But Xia Duo didn't seem to feel the two sharp eyes that almost pierced his skin, and still answered calmly: "Father, I want to participate in the trial ceremony of the Sword of Domination!"

Hearing his son's answer, Pariston was surprised, his eyes softened, and he asked calmly: "Tell me, what do you think?"

"Father, my idea is very simple. I am not sure about the trial of the three divine swords. Instead of doing this, it is better to choose the one that is most beneficial to the family. If it fails, it is just to go to Farrell's home in advance to meet the ancestors. Yes! But once it succeeds, then——"
