Arcane Lord

The first game of the Snow Melting Competition [Spell Showdown], there is no suspense, Anglin wins!

The order of the next challenge is also arranged according to the seating order of the representatives of the four parties. After Elfaran challenges Netheril, it is Netheril's turn to challenge Ellan.

After that, Erlan challenged Comanso, and finally Comanso challenged Ilfran.

This cycle continues until all forty contestants have competed, and the wins are calculated according to country, and the rankings are determined.

…

As the game continued, when Shado discovered that Master Cormanso challenged Master Ilfarang in such a harmonious manner, he immediately understood that the Northland Alliance had most likely already reached an agreement, or was reaching a key point, and it was not far away from the agreement. Not far away.

Otherwise, even if Cormanso intends to compromise, as long as Ilfaran does not compromise, there is nothing he can do!

Based on previous speculations, Danzo is the party facing the greatest pressure from Zall. Perhaps both parties have compromised to achieve such a harmonious situation.

It's just that Ilfaran has too deep grudges against Comanso, or to be more precise towards Arivanda. Even though he has actually compromised, his attitude still hasn't changed much.

It's like, "I hate you, but I have to work with you."

…

Since they were all harmonious exchanges, Xia Duo no longer paid attention to the specific details of the battle, and just waited to see the records compiled by Niya after the game.

After all, there are not many opportunities to observe a demiplane that is deeply integrated with the Mystery when you are in the Mystery like now!

When he first entered the arena, he had already discovered and determined that the demiplane where the platform was located was an artificial demiplane with a very balanced elemental nature.

In addition to the new information about a new demiplane sample, what is more important is the evolution of the demiplane from its elemental roots to plane space.

Currently, Xia Duo is studying how to create a demiplane. Natural demiplanes such as the yellow sand demiplane can only provide very limited functions. It may be possible to study the essence of more planes.

But in terms of creating a demiplane, one artificial demiplane sample is more useful than ten natural demiplanes.

"It's a pity that I can't enter the space on the opposite platform to see it in person!"

Although because of the special setting of the miniature magic network in the arena, all spectators can clearly see everything in the platform space, including the magic network environment and even the source of the plane.

But after all, there is still a layer of mystery behind it, and I don’t know if there is any information filtering in between. It is far less detailed and in-depth than the information obtained from on-site investigation.

But no matter what, it’s better to have something to watch than nothing to watch!

…

As noon approached, the game was not suspended and was still continuing. Xia Duo still maintained a focused state of observing the demiplane, and occasionally picked up a pen to write down some key information in his notes.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Niya's voice sounded in Sha Duo's ears.

Xia Duo looked up at the sky and knew that it was almost noon without checking the [Magic Hour]. In the morning, he was focused on observation, but he was also thinking, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.

Glancing at other areas of the auditorium, Sha Duo became even hungrier when he saw that someone was already taking out food from dimensional bags or small packages around him and starting to enjoy it.

"I'm a little hungry, let's eat something first!"

Xia Duo took out the dry food from the dimensional bag, handed a portion to Niya, and then started eating by himself.

It's difficult to stay focused on high-level magic while eating. You can watch the game, but if you don't see all the details, the game is more similar to a trick, and it's not as interesting as watching the audience in the stadium.

Like last year, Xia Duo noticed the group of dwarves first this time. Except for the dwarf prince who was sitting at the first table, the other dwarves were all sitting together.

Almost all of them are wearing armor and carrying hammers. They are short and have no necks. They look like a wine barrel with a hammer hanging next to it. It is difficult not to attract attention!

However, compared to last year's snow melting competition where dwarves got drunk in the arena, these dwarves were much more calm this year.

Not just because of the presence of their prince, but maybe the drow factor as well.

Under the cover of the big beard, it was difficult for Xia Duo to observe the specific expression on the other person's face from a distance, but judging from their behavior, they seemed to be quite anxious.

Even the dwarf prince who behaved normally, Xia Duo felt that he seemed to have something on his mind.

In addition to the dwarves, the most eye-catching people in the field are the elves. Compared with last year, there are too many elves here this year.

Xia Duo did not count them one by one, but just roughly counted them. There were at least five or six hundred of them. Apart from humans, the most numerous people in the field were elves.

Compared with the elves, there are only more than ten dwarves, which is half the number last year!

This also seemed to prove that the pressure underground was high, and even a dozen dwarves were reluctant to come over to watch the game.

As for the elves, they have a large population, even if they are three to five hundred, the population of the country of Erlan alone is not less than that of Netheril.

Not to mention, there are three elven kingdoms participating in this snow melting competition, in addition to Erlan, there are also Cormanthor and Ilfarang.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the venue was Severington, maybe humans would have been in the minority.

…

Xia Duo's eyes did not stay on the elves for long, and soon turned to the humans. However, this state did not last long. He always felt that something was wrong, so he turned his eyes to the elves again.

At first, Xia Duo only thought that he was too attached to the elves and was too nervous, which was why he felt strange. But soon, he discovered that something was indeed wrong with the situation!

Most of the elves watched the game quietly, and occasionally communicated softly with their companions around them. This is not surprising, and the same is true for humans.

But the problem is that Xia Duo found one among a group of elf mages wearing Yeerlan-style clothes who behaved abnormally.

In fact, if you look carefully, the elf mage behaves no differently from other elves, but Xia Duo just thinks he is abnormal.

And this judgment itself is also very abnormal!

It's more like a kind of intuition, inspiration, or, in other words, subconscious information that breaks through to the surface of consciousness!

With such an anomaly, Xia Duo naturally had to trace the source. Using his memory tracing ability, he kept tracing back his memory to compare it with the current abnormal elf.

Soon, he discovered something unusual——

The elf's every move seemed casual and relaxed, but he was always on guard and unable to relax at all.

If it was just like this, then that's it. Xia Duo wouldn't go so far as to retrace his memories specifically for him.

In fact, this subconscious defensive state can be achieved by many elven swordsingers present. Many swordsingers even put one hand on the hilt of their swords from the moment they entered the arena, even while watching the game. superior.

But the problem is, the elf's behavior actually contains vague drow characteristics!
