Arcane Lord

At the foot of the Elder Oak, the banquet and celebration after the Divine Sword Trial lasted for most of the day, from morning to late at night.

Even if it weren't for the sudden state of Oussen Mianwang's body, it might have lasted longer, maybe even until dawn.

After the banquet, Shado was invited to a tree courtyard near the Elder Oak by High Mage Michael, a follower of King Oceanus.

Here, he met Oceanus, the last crowned king of Jelenstad, together with his advisory group, members of the Elders of Cyberholm, elders of the Elven Court, and representatives of the remnants of Uwelen.

Except for Uvelun, which was destroyed a thousand years ago, and now only a few survivors are left, the heads of all the forces involved in the merger appeared here. (The Elf Court is a neutral place. After the merger, the peripheral lands belong to Cormanthor, and part of the core area is still reserved for discussions between various countries or for rituals)

In addition to these elves, there are also high mages who previously hosted and witnessed the divine sword trial ceremony.

The purpose of inviting Xia Duo here this time is to discuss matters related to the merger of the parties, the most important of which is the location of the capital of the new country after the merger.

In fact, after listening to Mikael's introduction, Sha Duo understood that his coming here should be just a formality. It was possible that they had already reached a merger plan before the Excalibur Trial.

However, the location of the capital is indeed a problem. Basically, except for the Elf Court, which is special and does not have many requirements for the location of the new capital, every other party hopes to place the capital of the new country on their homeland.

This issue has not yet been finalized, from the initial discussions about the merger to the fact that the birth of Comanso has now become a reality.

The identity of Shado's projection is that of the Jelenstad elf, but the Sunwing family's influence in Jelenstad is not great, but it has many ties. He does not want the new country in the future to be too affected by the powerful Jelenstads. Impact.

Taking into account the demands of several other parties, as the future crown king of Cormanthor, Shado must act fairly. This may be the main reason why these elves called him here!

"King Osensi, Advisor Mikael, elders and mages, my opinion is that since the new country is born for unification, it must reflect the will of unity. I propose that the new capital can be chosen in Lis The heart of the Taal Forest!”

The center of the Listal Forest is actually the Elf Court, but the new capital certainly cannot replace the Elf Court, but it can be placed near the Elf Court, and it can also monitor this powerful neutral land, China.

Naturally, Xia Duo's proposal was not acceptable to all the elves present, and he could clearly feel the emotional changes of some elves.

But at this moment, his identity is no longer the heir of the small Jelensta family, but the future ruler, the only true king in the prophecy.

The weight is completely different from the past.

After Shado finished speaking, King Oceanus was the first to express his opinion in favor of building a new capital near the Elf Court. Even Jelenstad agreed, and other forces no longer insisted.

Even the specific location of the new capital was completely left to Xia Duo to decide.

This gave Xia Duo an opportunity to fish. He thought he would be very busy after the Excalibur Trial, but now he can just spend a few years inspecting the location of the new capital.

According to the usual style of elves, this is completely normal. Once the wisdom gems on the Sword of Domination are absorbed, Sha Duo is ready to pat his butt and leave.

After all, he is not a real elf, but a passer-by from the main plane. Naturally, he cannot really stay here to accompany the elves in the game of building Cormanthor.

…

Therefore, in the next few years, Xia Duo has been traveling in the future territory of Cormanso, reaching the Moon Sea in the north, Lake Riwen in the south, Dragon Bay in the east, and the Peak Mountains in the west.

In the process, he continued to draw inspiration and wisdom from the Sword of Domination, and often sought advice from the high mage Elfitch.

This Elfiki was one of the high mages who presided over the Divine Sword Trial Ceremony. At that time, he promised that if Shado passed the trial, he would be willing to be a follower, and he later fulfilled his promise.

When he heard that Xia Duo intended to travel in the future territory for a period of time, Elfiqi came to protect him. To be honest, if it weren't for Elfqi, Xia Duo would not dare to walk freely.

The Sword of Domination does possess powerful power, but it does not manifest itself in offense. As a king, there are not many opportunities to fight in person.

In addition to Elfiki, the recipient of the Sword of Skills, Istima Garanod, is often summoned by Shado to exchange magic.

Although during this period, most of what Sha Duo came into contact with and studied was related to elf magic, but in the Nese magic system, he also gained extraordinary and keen intuition.

For some questions, you can get the correct answer directly through intuition without even going through tedious deductions and calculations.

This was almost impossible for him to do before, but now it actually happened to him.

As for the original goal of this trip to the projection plane - the 8th level level promotion trial, it was like a joke that he completed naturally without much deliberate study.

Sha Duo had a strong hunch in his heart that if he obtained the Sword of Dominion as an elf in the main plane, or if his body existed in the projection plane, he would definitely become a high mage in a short time.

The red gem of wisdom on the hilt contained the lifetime experience and knowledge of many high-ranking mages. As Xia Duo wandered in it, it was as if there were several completely tireless magic teachers by his side, teaching him all the time.

If possible, he really wanted to bring this sword of domination back to the main plane, but Sha Duo also knew that even if he completely sucked up the space in his body, he might not be able to manifest the sword.

Not to mention, his body in the main plane is not an elf. Who knows if he will be killed by this sword when he takes it out of the portable space.

…

Four years later, Shado finally absorbed the wisdom gem on the Sword of Dominion.

Of course, just remember that if you want to be like a gem of wisdom that can provide feedback at any time when encountering various problems, it may take a longer time to understand it.

However, he has decided to leave.

This should be the longest time he has stayed in the projection plane!

More than four years, for elves, this may be just a short trip, but for ordinary humans, it may be one twentieth of their lives.

Even though Xia Duo's lifespan has been extended after many bloodline awakenings, he is used to the perspective of ordinary humans and still feels that four years is a very long time.

Before leaving, Xia Duo was preparing to do one last thing.
