Arcane Lord

After leaving the venue, Sha Duo originally wanted to go to the library to find Niya, and then continue his unfinished shopping routine, but he didn't expect that someone was already waiting outside the venue.

"Lord Shado! Please stay!"

"Director Brundes, is something wrong?"

Although Shado responded to Brundes' greeting, he turned his attention to another spell caster next to him. He had noticed this person before in the venue.

"Lord Shado, let me introduce to you. This is Lord Myne Collins of Collins Territory - Thunder Mage and Senior Arcanist!"

Upon hearing the introduction, Xia Duo was shocked. He was actually a senior arcanist, and this person seemed to have something to do with him. This person was none other than Rodit's father!

Rodit and Shado have participated in several magic exchange meetings together, and have also participated in the Green Field Plane War led by the Seven Towers. Not long ago, they just explored the ruins of a mage tower together.

Unexpectedly, I would now meet Rodit’s father, a well-known senior arcanist!

When he was just at the venue, Xia Duo observed other spectators and looked at many of them, but only a few of them responded with kind smiles and greetings.

This includes Auron, Brundes, who are familiar with Chateau, and several directors who had gotten along well with each other at the previous welcome dinner of the Austrian-French Federation.

But there was another person whom Xia Duo was not familiar with before, or even met, who nodded to him. At that time, Xia Duo was still a little confused, but now it is indeed clear.

"Lord Collins, nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you, Lord Shado!"

Facing a senior arcanist who was much younger than himself, even younger than his own son, Collins behaved very appropriately, without any of the arrogance of his predecessors, nor did he deliberately cater to him.

After Chateau and Collins briefly greeted each other, Brundes suggested at the right time: "The president may pass by here later. It's not convenient to talk here. There is a reception room next to it. Let's talk in detail here!"

As he spoke, Brundes pointed to a tightly closed door not far away. The magic net was secretly mobilized, and the invisible force instantly opened the door of the reception room, revealing the slightly gloomy environment inside.

Chateau glanced at the reception room that gradually became brighter as Brundes cast a spell, nodded to Lord Collins, and then walked towards the reception room in unison.

…

The headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation, a certain reception room.

After Chateau and Collins entered, Brundes only reached the door, stopped, said, "Then I won't disturb you two," and then closed the door and left.

An unfamiliar and relatively closed environment is not a good experience for any spell caster. Sha Duo was not prepared to take any detours and asked directly: "I don't know why Lord Collins stayed here to wait for me this time. thing?"

"First of all, I would like to thank Lord Shado for taking care of Rodit in the Green Field Plane and at the ruins of the Innocent Mage Tower not long ago."

"No need for that, I just did what I should do! And Rodit also works very hard, otherwise no matter how much I do, it won't help." Sha Duo said casually.

He knew that Lord Collins was definitely not waiting for him just to thank him. What came after "first" was the real theme.

"Has Lord Shado paid attention to the news in Severton recently?" Collins said with a hint.

"Lord Collins, are you referring to—Ilfarang will participate in this year's snowmelt competition, or did Cormanthor suffer heavy losses in the Drow War not long ago?"

These two news are the most popular in Severington recently, especially the latter.

Sha Duo came to Severton for less than half a day in total this time, most of which was spent at the venue just now, but it was also the short time when he and Niya went out to go shopping when he first arrived. , he heard many people talking about these two things.

Regarding the fact that Ilfaran will participate in this year's snow melting competition, there was a related issue at the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting just now, and this has been confirmed.

As for Cormanthor's heavy losses in the drow war, Shado has not done much investigation yet, but Collins deliberately mentioned the news from Severton, and this news must be true in all likelihood.

At this moment, Collins also gave his answer: "It's the latter!"

Although Xia Duo had already made some mental preparations, he was still very shocked. If Comanso suffered heavy losses, it would definitely have an important impact on the situation in the North!

You must know that the elven kingdom that is most hostile to Netheril is Cormanthor. Even though the relationship between Ellan and Netheril has soured before because Netheril gave up elven magic, it has never shown the almost undisguised deepness of Cormanthor. Malice.

On the contrary, in recent years, Ellan has been gradually being led astray by Cormanthor. If the balance of strength between Cormanthor and Ellan, or even with Netheril, is reversed because of this heavy injury, then what will happen to Netheril? For Riel, this is definitely good news!

But is this really the case?

Chateau couldn't help but reconfirm with Lord Collins: "Cormanso really suffered heavy losses in the war?"

"Yes!"

Collins nodded solemnly and continued: "But the drow were all expelled back to the underground!

"But this matter is not as simple as it seems. I have received news that Cormanthor intends to promote the accelerated preparation of the Northland Alliance, and it is very likely that it will be the Northland Alliance led by Ilfarang and Netheril! You Why do you think this is happening?”

Why?

Sha Duo almost subconsciously thought of a possibility: "Could it be that the Drow crisis has not been completely resolved, and may face a greater disaster?"

As Collins said, Cormanthor intended to accelerate the preparations for the Northern Alliance. If there was no crisis of national annihilation, how could Cormanthor, who had been slowing down the progress of the alliance's preparations, suddenly change his attitude.

Only an extremely terrifying crisis can make two countries and two races that are not of the same mind become one!

In response to Sha Duo's question, Collins nodded seriously and said, "It's a drow. A drow became a god not long ago!"

"The new god who challenged the Lord of Glory not long ago was a drow god?" Sha Duo asked immediately.

He had previously learned about the existence of the new god from Jenna, but it was not until he asked Iolum that he learned that the new god was so bold as to challenge the Lord of Glory as soon as he succeeded in becoming a god!

If it is a drow god, it doesn't seem so incomprehensible.

Drow were originally elves, but were banished to the underground by their kind on the surface, and transformed into drow. During this period, they endured endless sufferings, and their personalities are very extreme compared to humans. If they happen to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, they can challenge the Lord of Glory. Not impossible.
