Arcane Lord

Of course, Netheril not only has many historical issues with Cormanthor, but also with Erlan and Danzo.

For example, the "Three Kingdoms Mithril Agreement" is widely known, but few people know its true terms.

This time, there has been some improvement. In the communiqué of the Severington Parliament, the specific content of the revised agreement was not mentioned, but one thing was highlighted, and that was——

From now on, Netheril has mastered the technology of mithril refining and will provide it to any territory in need for a fee.

This means that, as generally understood by lords, as long as mithril ore is found on the territory, they can be refined and used by themselves.

Even a lord like Xia Duo who knows the truth behind the "Three Kingdoms Mithril Agreement" can also use this technology openly.

However, restrictions still exist.

When Shado visited Congenio at the beginning of the year, he was told that Netheril had already mastered the technology of refining mithril, but high-grade mithril was still monopolized by Erlan.

Even the dwarves are unable to refine high-purity mithril that is truly suitable for high-end magic items due to flaws in the refining method.

Even if the mithril refining technology is disclosed now, it does not mean that Netheril has completely solved the problem of mithril. If you want high-grade mithril, you still have to buy it from Yerlan.

Or rather, buy it from the Moonhorn Family!

It is the family that Innocent's mother belongs to, and it is also very likely that it is the famous Yeerlan family that caused Innocent to fall sadly and the energy-guiding crystal to be almost lost!

…

Judging from what Badigal said at the Snow Melting Competition and the communique issued by the Severnton Council, perhaps under the pressure of the Drow, the Northland Alliance does have areas of sincere cooperation, but at the same time——

Competition, confrontation, and even hostility will not disappear because of this, but will most likely intensify while maintaining cooperation in relevant fields.

This can't help but remind Xia Duo of the international situation in his hometown. Although the major countries have very close cooperation in many fields, from a macro perspective, competition will never end.

Even to a certain extent, cooperation also took on a competitive nature. At that time, cooperation was not just cooperation itself, but also a substantial competition to expand the right to speak and influence.

Xia Duo had a hunch that perhaps the situation in the North would evolve to the point where the gods would also be involved.

No, in fact, the new drow god has already entered the scene, and they are just waiting for the princess, the main elf god, and even the Lord of Glory to join in.

This issue is very sensitive. Even before stepping onto the teleportation circle, Xia Duo was still thinking about it in his mind.

…

There are many variables in the future, and Xia Duo never thought that he could completely see the historical direction of a real world with the help of some fragmentary information before time travel.

Even if you remove a super variable like himself, you can't do it!

To a certain extent, Xia Duo is also very confused, because he knows too much, thinks too much, and worries too much. In the short and medium term plans, he always strives to be comprehensive and perfect, but he does not want to leave any flaws.

Of course, in the long run, Xia Duo is quite optimistic. After all, in this world, even eternal life is very likely to exist, and he is also very likely to be able to obtain it, so why not be optimistic?

The worst case scenario is that you have to start all over again!

Eternal life is never a sin, the mentality of being unable to control eternal life is!

…

As the teleportation circle was activated, Xia Duo quickly calmed down his emotions and got rid of distracting thoughts. After a burst of misty white light, he had reached the purpose of his trip——

Leisen collar!

And where he is now is Lord Leisen's mage tower!

As soon as he arrived here, before even leaving the teleportation room, Sha Duo immediately felt Leisen’s special belief culture——

The teleportation room is filled with sun patterns everywhere, especially the dome above, which is a luminous sun constructed with magic.

Before coming, Xia Duo naturally understood some basic conditions of Leisen Territory.

Theremin, the contemporary lord, was originally a student of Cliff, the great arcanist. Later, he lost his ability to cast spells due to an experimental accident, but his son continued to study under Cliff and became his student.

Before Cliff learned magic, he was already a priest of the Lord of Radiance, and even after becoming a Grand Arcanist, he still did not change his beliefs.

As for how true this belief is, Xia Duo has no way of knowing, but at least the atmosphere of this belief has been passed down.

Even a long time ago, on the way to Severton by boat, Shado heard someone mention that the Lord of Glory had performed miracles in Leisen.

But later, he learned that the theory of miracles was pure rumors. In fact, based on the time when the miracle occurred and the time of the accident in Lord Leisen's experiment, the so-called miracle was most likely Cliff's treatment of his students.

But it is a pity that Lord Leisen has not been able to restore his spellcasting ability so far.

This also made Sha Duo have some doubts about this visit.

He wants to find a way to downgrade spellcasters, so that mages who are over level 10 can go back and advance to the arcanist level again, because there is no obvious bottleneck from arcanist to great arcanist, as long as they live long enough and If you are willing to learn, you will surely succeed.

From a legendary mage to a great arcanist, there is not much of a bottleneck, but if an ordinary mage wants to become a legendary mage, it requires not only the accumulation and application of knowledge, but also a bit of luck.

Shado has not yet learned how the Archmage advances to Legend, but the public information on the fifteen Grand Arcanists of Netheril can give a glimpse of the difficulty involved.

Among these fifteen great arcanists, only Cliff and Magna advanced from legendary mages, and Congenio might have done the same, but the other twelve great arcanists all evolved from arcanists. Achievement.

The ratio is one to four. In fact, there are obviously more than fifteen great arcanists in Netheril. Among the ones Shado knows and who are clearly still alive are Chaos and Jenna.

I don’t know how many others are hidden.

However, there are only a handful of legendary mages with clear records. Currently, the only ones known to be alive are Cliff and Magna!

I don’t know how many archmages have the possibility of becoming a grand arcanist, but they gave up on advancing to the arcanist level prematurely at level 10, regretting it for the rest of their lives.

In Shado's vision, if downgrading can be achieved, then almost any mage who missed the advanced arcanist level can go back and try to advance again.

Coupled with various life-extending spells, the Great Arcanist is no longer the exclusive preserve of a few geniuses, but most people have a real and non-low chance to achieve it!

Similar to graduate students on earth, although it is not possible for everyone, everyone does have a good chance to achieve it.

Basically, as long as a person has a clear purpose and strong execution ability, there is at least a 50% chance of becoming a graduate student, not to mention a nine out of ten chance.

In the magical world, this universal ascending channel is the strongest driving force for the continued development of magical civilization!

The only problem now is that Lord Leisen's downgrade seems irreversible.

If you can't find a way to improve it, then you can only think of other ways!
