Arcane Lord

With no one to talk to, Xia Duo's attention returned to himself again. He could feel that the light where he was now was much weaker than before, but even with the cold ointment, he could still feel the tingling all over his body. .

Not long after, a cold female voice sounded in front of him, bringing some new news, "The high priest has told me your situation, and I will arrange for someone to give you special training."

After saying that, he left without waiting for Sha Duo to respond. After a while, someone came over to help Sha Duo up. To be more precise, two strong female drow came over and forcibly held Sha Duo's arms, leading him to the Moving back and forth in this training ground.

Xia Duo didn't understand it at first, but as his body responded with pain and relief, he discovered that the two drow were leading him to walk in lights of different intensities.

"Is this training?"

Although he had already speculated, Xia Duo was still a little surprised that Zall actually created a bright environment training ground. Are they really going to counterattack the surface?

He tried to ask the female drow instructors around him, but received no reply. The two female drow were like robots. Apart from taking him forcibly into light areas of different intensities, they also applied ointment on him.

However, after Xia Duo refused once, they didn't even need to apply ointment.

…

In this way, after four or five days of special training, the two female instructors handed Xia Duo a cane for exploring the road and left on their own.

"It's actually a magic item!"

Holding the magic cane in his hand, Xia Duo could clearly perceive the terrain elements about ten meters ahead. He was not dissatisfied with the departure of the two instructors.

Compared to other trainees, his current treatment is much better.

After groping back to a shady spot, a familiar voice rang in his ears, "Have those two annoying women left?"

"Um."

Xia Duo nodded casually.

Several days have passed, and his current identity is not a secret in the training ground. Many people already know it. Some people are alienated, while others are naturally close to him. The Barr who is talking to him now is one of them.

According to himself, he is a civilian in the large underground void called Ozobane. Of course, almost all drow are soldiers. The so-called civilian is at least a low-level warrior.

In "Brandon's" memory, civilians were roughly equivalent to cannon fodder, and were ruled by each family based on geographical location. Whenever the family needed to do something, they would recruit civilians.

But this time, Barr was forcibly recruited? There were four or five people who came with him? But so far, he is the only one who has survived.

Xia Duo didn't want to have too much friendship with Baal. He only believed half of Baal's words, but he couldn't remove the protection on his eyes yet. Plus, he couldn't help but learn more about the training ground. Don't just say a few words casually.

He has always been wary of Zall!

But now, he no longer wanted to waste time like this. After a moment of silence, Sha Duo tapped Baal next to him with his cane and said to him:

"Go to the side, I want to cast a spell, don't disturb me!"

"Yes Yes!"

Immediately afterwards there was a burst of deliberate footsteps. Although Xia Duo was not at ease, he couldn't help but be picky, so he concentrated and started casting spells.

He has not yet completed the spell adaptation to the Underdark Magic Network environment. What he is currently doing is testing the current status of the Magic Network with a variety of drow spells.

"Brandon" knows a lot of spells, but he has learned very few, and the only ones he is proficient in are [Spell Breaking] and [Short Distance Teleportation]. The day before yesterday, Xia Duo had already exhausted "Brandon" accumulation.

Want to determine the status of the magic net? You still need multiple spells. Brandon's experience is no longer enough. Sha Duo is now self-taught the spells that Brandon has not learned in his memory.

In the past two days, he has been pondering in his mind a drow spell that he renamed [radiation invisibility].

In Netheril, [Invisibility] focuses more on light and shadow, and more advanced ones will involve covering up at the level of the magic network. However, in the underdark area, in a lightless environment, invisibility focuses more on being invisible in radiation.

It is two completely different spells from the invisibility spell on the main plane.

In Brandon's memory, only drow warriors who have mastered invisibility can be called assassins. They are the enemy's nightmare. Even mages will be afraid of three points.

It's a pity that Brandon has been studying for a long time but has never been able to learn this spell.

Now Xia Duo is relearning this spell from the perspective of a human arcanist, and the efficiency is not comparable to that of Brandon, who is a dabbler.

It only took two or three days for Xia Duo to fully understand this 3-level spell. He really couldn't figure out why Brandon, who could learn 4-level [Short Distance Teleportation], couldn't learn this 3-level spell.

While concentrating, Xia Duo used his own understanding and the drow's spell-casting method to cast this spell for the first time. The result was naturally no surprise and it was a success.

At least, he felt successful.

Immediately afterwards, Barr's voice sounded again, but this time, his tone was full of surprise, "Brandon, what did you do?"

"Can you see me?" Sha Duo asked.

"I can see it, but it feels like you don't exist. Are you really still here?"

Xia Duo heard the other party's voice approaching, and seemed to want to confirm it at a closer distance, so he quickly stopped the other party: "Stop, don't come closer!"

puff--

The stopped footsteps fell heavily, making a dull sound, and at the same time there was a slightly rapid breathing, "Brandon, I don't mean any harm!"

"I know, but I'm still casting spells!" Sha Duo said sternly.

Of course this was an excuse, but he was instinctively unwilling to let a drow get close to him, even if the other party had good intentions.

Xia Duo clenched the cane in his hand, and the figure of the other party clearly appeared in his perception. If the other party was unaware, he would not be without resistance.

In his perception, Barr hesitated for a moment, but finally retreated.

Then, Shado cast [Radiation Invisibility] again. Judging from what Barr just said, this spell does not seem to be invisible under normal light. He has not forgotten that although the location he is currently in is relatively shady, there is still light.

However, Sha Duo was not interested in improving spells for the time being. By casting the spell again, starting from the source of the spell's effectiveness and deducing the spell principles of the Nese magic system, he once again revised the magic network state model.

The planar scholar is still a bit weak, so he can only use this indirect method to obtain the current status of the magic network.

It can be corrected as many times as possible with a few spells until it is irreversible, infinitely approaching the state of the magic network directly derived from the current plane environment by plane scholars.

Of course, this is theoretical. In fact, as long as it is corrected to a certain extent, it is considered complete.

This is what Xia Duo is doing now. After [Radiation Invisibility], he only needs to complete three more spells to finally get a relatively accurate magic network environment.

After that, the adaptation can be completed. The new spell after adaptation may be less stable than on the surface, but it is much better than "when a person goes to the dark area and his eyes are completely blackened".

Of course, if a mage with extremely strong spell-casting ability comes to the Dark Area, he can actually cast spells without being suitable.

After all, the Underdark and the surface are both main planes. Even if the environment of the magic network is different, it is not as big as compared with the alien plane.

As long as you have enough control, you can completely ignore that difference.
