Arcane Lord

After talking about the business, Elise finally talked about the situation outside:

"I don't know what happened in Comanso. Their crown prince suddenly launched a large-scale political purge, and many high-ranking families perished as a result.

"As for the drow, they are still restricted in the Dragon's Back Mountains. King Cormanso Crown did not forget them while launching the purge."

"What about the empire? What's the latest news?" Xia Duo asked again.

"The Grand Arcanist of the Sith has led his team to the Dark Territory. There is no news yet, but I heard rumors that the higher-ups seem to be hesitant about Drow as an ally."

Facing a member of the institute who would either become a big shot or be unable to leave for the rest of his life, Elise didn't hide much. Basically, whenever Sha Duo asked, she would answer.

"There is also some news that I think you may be very interested in."

"Oh? What news?" Sha Duo also became curious. How could Elise know what news he was interested in.

"Are you interested in the great sage's prediction?"

"Um?"

Hearing Elise mention the Great Sage, Xia Duo was immediately excited and asked quickly: "What prophecy? Has another Great Sage appeared?"

If a great sage really appears, then Shado will suspect that the person who organized the transformation of [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] was Cliff.

Now Cliff is in the outer star realm, next to a ray of spirit that is the essence of this projection plane. If an outsider enters the projection plane, Cliff will not know about it.

With his desire for resurrection spells and his firm belief in his prophecy, there was absolutely no way he would let anyone else in.

But there is another question here. If Cliff was the person who organized and transformed the [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] before, then why couldn't he get the resurrection spell from it?

Are those "great sages" unable to access the secret of resurrection? Or was it because of the time anomaly in the projection plane that they had no preparation at all and forgot to record it?

Just as Sha Duo was constantly thinking about the possibilities behind the Great Sage, Elise's words made many of his guesses instantly come to nothing:

"No great sage appeared. Not long ago, the Development Department discovered a well-preserved [Sage's Box] underground at the ruins of the Department of Selections, which contains the great sage's predictions about the future."

I see!

After Elise said this, Sha Duo left and wanted to understand a lot of things. In his understanding, the so-called great sages should be a group of explorers from a certain organization in the main plane.

Even if they enter the projection plane at the same time, due to time issues, they will appear at different stages in the history of the projection plane.

Then, this requires agreeing in advance on something that can verify the identity. This thing can be a sentence, a pattern, or a prophecy.

Perhaps the Sage Selection Department searched for the person in the prophecy in this way, and then brought him back to verify his identity, and he was the great sage.

Then the credibility of this prophecy is very low. It is probably their judgment of history based on the development of the main plane, or perhaps some information within their organization.

It may also be called "prophecy", but it is not a prediction made by prophecy at all.

Just like Xia Duo now, he can also make some speculations about the future based on the actual situation, which can also be called "prophecy".

But these require a lot of preparation in advance. A prophecy that can make something out of nothing without any pre-information is a true prophecy.

But after asking, Xia Duo didn't mind hearing what this so-called sage's prophecy said.

"What did the Great Sage predict? Is it related to the collapse of the empire?"

Xia Duo said this deliberately, but Elise did not seem to hear the ridicule behind the words, but seriously described the recently unearthed prophecy of the sage:

"It is not directly related to the collapse of the empire, but it is very related to the revival of the empire. The prophecy says that there are golden scrolls hidden in an elven ruins in the west. If you find them, you can gain endless wisdom.

"It has been nearly a hundred years since the empire was destroyed. Now I suddenly discovered this prophecy. Isn't it destiny that urges the empire to revive!"

Elven ruins? Golden scroll?

Not nearly, Xia Duo is sure that this is the [Nese Scroll] discovered by the Nese people in the main plane. The infinite wisdom may be a bit exaggerated, but it definitely contains a lot of knowledge!

For a moment, Xia Duo's heartbeat almost skipped a beat. An opportunity to own a private [Scroll of Resistance] was right in front of him. How could he remain indifferent!

"Did the Development Department find the golden scroll? If found, it should be placed in the research institute, right?" Xia Duo asked two questions in a row.

Perhaps even he himself didn't notice that his voice became a little hoarse at the moment, it was too urgent.

But Elise didn't take it seriously. She had the same reaction when she first heard the news. In addition to the temptation of endless wisdom to the spell caster, there was also the hope of the empire's revival waving in front. If she was really indifferent, she would Maybe we have to doubt the identity of "McCard"!

"The Development Department is mobilizing manpower to explore the west, but unfortunately, no good news has come back until I return to the base!

"But if we can find the golden scroll in the prophecy, after the above inspection is completed, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be kept in the research institute. As long as you are patient, you will definitely be able to see it!"

"..."

Sha Duo was speechless. This was not a matter of patience or impatience, but a time loop that could occur in the projection plane at any time. If the loop happened now, he would never see the Nese Scroll in this projection plane.

What a pity! What a pity!

Even in the main plane, the discovery place of the Nese Scroll is a secret. Not only is there no record of it in any classics or documents, but even the original discoverer did not leave any records.

There are only a few very simple sentences recorded - "Several discoverers discovered two sets of gold scrolls in a ruins, which were later named [Naise Scrolls]"

The sage prophecy here seems to not know the specific place where the Nese scroll was found, but only knows that it is in an elven ruins.

From this, Xia Duo speculated that the main plane organization that organized the exploration of the so-called "Great Sage" should not be the Seven Towers. If it was the Seven Towers, it should know where the scroll was found.

In this way, the possible targets were narrowed down by half. It wasn't Seven Towers, it wasn't Cliff, and Iolum was busy working on the Miser Energy Core, so it probably wasn't him either.

It is unlikely that the remaining great arcanists, including Magna, who has a good relationship with Cliff, would have gotten the resurrection spell from him, or at least a clue.

Previously, Congenio had been in charge of the Austrian and French Federation all year round, his whereabouts were very stable, and his subordinates did not form gangs, so the possibility was not high.

Jenna was busy running the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, so it was unlikely that she would do such a thing, and Byron belonged to the Seven Towers, so he should have known where the scroll was found, and it was not him.

The most likely ones are Vader and Braun.

There may be a hidden Grand Arcanist, but it's not very likely.

After all, the Seven Towers may hide several Grand Arcanists for some strategic purposes, but Sha Duo really can't think of any reason for him to hide the Grand Arcanists outside the Seven Towers.
