Arcane Lord

In the next period of time, Xia Duo was busy with demiplane experiments, recording and analyzing the effect of the plane's roots on the material circulation in the plane, and studying the relationship between the magic network environment and the plane's roots.

On the other hand, he also maintains a relatively close attention on the territory. Especially after the "Ethical Code of Territory Citizens of Daxia" was officially promulgated to the territory, the power of order has undergone significant changes, and he is gradually promoting the construction cycle of the power of order.

…

At this time, Severington.

It had been more than a month since the princess' incarnation left, and the aftermath of the ascension to the gods seemed to have finally subsided, but beneath the calm, there were countless undercurrents.

Sources revealed that Irfaran will send contestants to participate in this year's snowmelt competition, and there may be an unprecedented fierce battle.

However, this news did not receive any reply from the Sevington Parliament and the Ilfarang Embassy.

On the other hand, Yerlan Ambassador Ifoyaris has stated in public on more than one occasion that Yerlan has no objection to Ilfaran’s participation in the snowmelting competition.

In addition, in some more private occasions, Ambassador Ivoryaris also said something like "the Northland Alliance has its own necessity for existence."

Combined with a piece of gossip that came out of nowhere - the Cormanthor army recently suffered heavy losses in an ambush during the process of expelling the drow. A senior mage died on the spot, and many senior mages suffered unknown curses and their lives are unknown.

An authoritative person interpreted Ambassador Yeerlan's behavior as "releasing goodwill to Netheril and preparing in advance for the establishment of the Northland Alliance."

Ambassador Ifoyaris had no response.

…

Sevington Embassy Quarter, Cormanso Embassy.

In the study, Ambassador Atlan had just finished communicating with the country, but at this moment, his mood was like a wind chime blowing in the wind in front of the window, and it was difficult to calm down.

After recently learning about some rumors circulating in Severton, he immediately realized that something might have happened in the country. The change was so huge that he, the official ambassador, had to find out about it through rumors from Severington.

Atlan was very sure that he was not exiled here, but had a great mission, and was personally recognized by King Mian, but——

Why did things develop like this?

After hurriedly contacting the country, Atlan heard a piece of news that he had always found difficult to accept -

The recent defeat in the domestic Drow war is true!

It is true that the high mage died in battle!

Of course, the gossip circulating in Severton is not completely accurate. For example, it does not mention that although Cormanthor paid a heavy price for it, the underground passage in the Dragon's Back Mountains has been completely destroyed, and the surface is outstanding. You have also been completely wiped out!

It can be said that the domestic drow war has actually ended.

In addition, the new task coming from the country was also difficult for him to accept - to find out the bottom line of the negotiations of the Irfaran Northland Alliance and strive to facilitate the final talks to be held in the Elf Court!

This means that there seems to be a compromise in the country!

Not only to compromise with Elfaran, an elven kingdom that extremely hates Cormanthor, but also to compromise with human countries like Netheril!

Atlan couldn't figure out why things had developed to this point. Even if Cormanthor suffered huge losses in the Drow War, there was no need to compromise with Elfaran and Netheril!

For a time, the wise image of His Majesty the Crowned King Elisir collapsed in Atlan's heart.

But he quickly expelled this almost blasphemous thought from his mind, and tried hard to convince himself that none of this was true, it was all an illusion of a human mage!

…

I don't know how much time passed, but the light in the study gradually dimmed, and the magic lamp automatically gave off a light light.

Atlan casually turned off the magic lamp that he usually loved, and placed himself in the darkness. It seemed that only in this environment could he keep the "truth" in his heart for a moment.

Soon, it was daybreak and he woke up from his dream. Atlan walked out of the study with a pale face and came to the atrium, where flowers and green plants bloomed all year round, but at this moment, he no longer had the slightest intention to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Looking at the magic barrier that had not been raised yesterday over the Yerlan Embassy, ​​which is not far away from the old embassy district of Sevington, Atlan cursed bitterly:

"It is indeed a country of betrayers!"

The founding history of Erlan is not glorious. In Atlan's view, the original founders were a bunch of traitors, and those traitors did not even spare the mother country.

In the past, Atlan had a good impression of Ellan because of Ellan's attitude towards Arivanda, but now, Ellan's move to embrace the Northland Alliance once again reminded Atlan of the history of this country.

"traitor!"

…

At the same time, in the headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation, a top-level magic laboratory, a nearly earth-shattering experimental accident once again occurred.

Iolum's experiment on the independent arcane fire device failed again. After the experiment was carried out until now, Iolum finally felt a little exhausted. He glanced at the students who had begun to skillfully clean up the mess, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly:

"Brod, I have tried a lot of new ideas recently, but I think this is getting further and further away from the right path!"

When Brod heard this, he paused, and the rioting magic network environment that was gradually being calmed suddenly began to fluctuate. This was exactly what Brod was feeling at the moment. He did not want the teacher to continue on this kind of research with no end in sight. Go down.

Compared with any independent arcane fire device, he hopes that the teacher will make a breakthrough in life extension spells. After all, the teacher is close to 300 years old this year.

Not everyone is as lucky as Master Congenio. Not only did he receive the blessing of immortality from the elves and the baptism of the secret flame from the goddess of magic, but he also completed a variety of life-extending rituals that relied on luck.

The teacher has made it clear very early on that he will not perform inhuman transformations. As a result, many immortality rituals cannot be used. When the time comes, it is almost inevitable that the soul will return to the underworld!

Thinking of this, Brod advised again:

"An independent arcane fire device is almost impossible to complete even in theory. Teacher, I think your idea may be okay, but limited by our current understanding of magic, I don't think it is a good research now. The time is right, it’s better to postpone research in this area!”

"You are right! But the emergence of any new spells or new technologies is not without reason. Someone must make great efforts for it. If the current situation is great, then I am naturally willing to wait for other people's results, but now - —”

"Isn't the situation getting better now? Comanso has suffered a heavy blow, and the Northland Alliance is about to be established. This is the best time for us to develop stably. Teacher, there is really no need to rush!"
