Arcane Lord

After a moment, Malusis's magic mark stopped moving, but then a familiar voice emerged from the void and reached Shado's ears:

"Brandon, I have made an agreement with Master Thorne. If you help him complete a task, he will give you some guidance on magic. When you return to the underground, I will give you another reward!"

After that, all the visions disappeared, and only the golden elf mage was watching him silently. Xia Duo secretly thought it was troublesome, but he also knew that he could not refuse.

Fortunately, Malusis secured an opportunity for him to mentor, which at least was not a loss. Sha Duo could only comfort himself in this way now.

After adjusting his mood a little, he said in a calm tone: "I have received the message from the mistress. May I ask, Sir Thorne, what are your orders?"

"Soon, a group of envoys from the Akora Kingdom will pass through here. I want you to kill them all!"

"What?!"

Sha Duo never expected to hear the name of the Akora Kingdom here. In the era of the main plane, the Akora Kingdom had long closed its territory.

It is closed in the true sense, covering the Listal Forest with mysterious locks, and has almost no communication with the outside world.

But even in the era of the projection plane, the Kingdom of Akora was still active, but they were in the east, separated from Sluvende by a large area, and the two countries had no border at all!

What grudges and grievances caused Thorne, the high mage of the Sluvende Kingdom, to intercept the envoys of the killing family?

In just such a moment, Sha Duo realized that there must be many conspiracies in this. Of course, no matter what the conspiracy was, it had nothing to do with him. He had decided to return to the main plane directly after picking up Thorne's "wool".

With such a ready-made high-level golden elf mage by his side, he no longer took his eyes off the ordinary golden elf mages who were originally scheduled to practice by him.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt that this trip to the projection plane might really be worthwhile.

Of course, the premise is that the other party is willing to communicate with him. No matter how well Malusis said it, he is still in the Dark Area at the moment. If Thorne refuses to admit it, there is nothing he can do.

"Sir Thorne, I am willing to serve you. In addition, the mistress just mentioned that I can get some advice from you?"

"Yes, before taking action, you stayed with me. It just so happened that I also had some questions I wanted to ask you."

"Um?"

Xia Duo was a little puzzled, but then he thought that if there was anything about him worthy of a high mage's attention, besides his bloodline, it was probably Nese magic, which was completely different from elf magic.

Generally speaking, even a moderately powerful mage wouldn't care too much about bloodline, let alone a high-ranking mage.

After all, what blood can do, magic can also do, but conversely, what magic can do, blood may not be able to do.

Only the Nese magic he brought from the main plane was the Nese magic he used during the previous chase, not the drow magic which has the same origin as the elf magic.

Perhaps this is why Thorne let him go even though he could catch him quickly.

Maybe I just want to see this kind of magic system that is different from the current mainstream.

In the current projection plane, the [Scroll of Netheril] is still hidden somewhere. Even if it is discovered, it may not be possible to develop a magic system that is exactly the same as that in the main plane of Netheril.

In other words, in the current projection plane, Sha Duo's magic may be unique.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly felt that it was almost certain to extract the wool from Thorne. As for whether the secret was leaked, he didn't care at all.

Not to mention that this is the projection plane, even if it is the main plane, do the elves really not understand Nese magic at all?

It's impossible to think about it, especially Cormanthor, who is very hostile to Netheril. Even if they look down on humans, are they really not curious at all about the source of the Grand Arcanist's power?

As long as you have a normal mind, even if you don't want to learn, you should come over and take a look first.

If we look at this as a force as a whole, it is always a rational part. It is almost inevitable that Nese magic will be known to the elves.

…

Now that he had confidence in his heart, Xia Duo was no longer polite when facing Thorne. Except for some questions he encountered during his previous escape, he asked anything else he wanted to ask without any scruples.

"Sir Thorne, I heard that there are other planes besides the one we are in now? Have you ever been to another plane?"

This is something that Sha Duo has always been curious about, that is, whether the projection plane can continue to be projected, or it can be said to be an alien plane or something.

When the Arcane Empire was in the projection plane, the Arcane Empire might have been influenced by visitors from the main plane, but it had not developed into plane exploration, or it might have existed, but he could not reach it.

Now, he finally had the opportunity to ask a senior executive in the projection plane, which might be able to solve a long-standing question he had.

However, his frequent inquiries eventually annoyed Thorne. Instead of answering his questions, he kept complaining:

"Why do you have so many problems! You don't look like an immortal species! You remind me of a creature called a human being!

"They are always so impatient to ask questions, and start to do it in a hurry before fully understanding it; or they are eager to know the truth behind something, but ignore the dangers in the process."

At the end, Thorne concluded with emotion, "They are really too impatient, they are really a bunch of pitiful short-lived creatures!"

"..."

Xia Duo blinked, not knowing what to say. Could he say that he was a human being?

"By the way, you are a drow. I heard that competition in the underground world is very fierce, so that makes sense." Thorne suddenly said with enlightenment.

During these few days together, he almost forgot that the person he captured was a drow, but when he realized this, his tone suddenly became colder:

"Perhaps you will become a great mage in the future, but now, you should think more about the next mission! The target is more than one elite mage. If you miss, don't expect me to save you!"

"Sir Thorne, please rest assured, I am absolutely sure to complete the mission!" Sha Duo said with confidence.

Even if the target is one hundred high mages, he is confident. After all, he is really prepared to do this task.

Perhaps in Thorne's eyes, he had no other choice but to complete the mission, but Shado himself knew that he could return to the main plane at any time as long as he wanted.

What's the point of leaving this piece of chicken feathers in the projection plane?

Faced with Xia Duo's confident words, Thorne was dubious, but still "hum", "Is it just your simple and crude magic?"

"Of course not. Lord Thorne will know it by then."

Xia Duo gave up a little.
