Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1007 Dream Revelation Strengthens Self
After Parias left, Xia Duo walked out of the guest room, stood at the end of a thick branch extending from the balcony of his room, and looked into the distance quietly.

The Elven Court at dusk did not calm down, but the nightlife had just begun.

Vaguely, Xia Duo heard a female voice singing. Although he couldn't hear the specific lyrics, the melodious and melodious tone was full of spirituality and gave him enough room for imagination.

Xia Duo listened carefully, his mood was very clear, it seemed that at this moment, he had completely forgotten about tomorrow's trial ceremony, and was completely immersed in this moving song.

But good things are always short-lived. When the elves playing outside gradually increased, the noise gradually increased, and the singing gradually faded away, he shook his head and returned to the room regretfully.

That night, Xia Duo had a dream like an ordinary human being. He dreamed that he came to the foot of an ancient oak tree. Here, he saw three half-person-high, suspended light clusters arranged in a wing shape.

Gold is in the middle, silver and red are on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo stretched his hand into the golden light ball, and in just a moment, he felt a tangible object sticking to his palm.

Subconsciously, he twitched casually, and then the golden light group converged, turning into a stone sword shining with golden light and appearing in his hand.

But the dream came to an abrupt end here, and Xia Duo immediately woke up, his eyes were full of disbelief, "Excalibur trial?"

In fact, what surprised him was not only the trial of the divine sword, but also the dream itself. After the caster sensed the soul, it was difficult to dream.

And the body of an elf is even more special, it doesn't need sleep like a human being, it only needs a short period of meditation to restore energy, and it is indeed possible to dream during meditation.

But more spellcasters will have a conscious self when meditating, using it to study magic, crafts, or simply think about nothing.

Xia Duo had already learned this technique during his previous incarnations as an elf, and he has used it many times during his incarnation as "Lyle Akarama" in the past few days.

Adding the two factors together, his chances of dreaming normally were almost reduced to zero, let alone this special dream!

Xia Duo is very familiar with the scene in the dream, or "Lyle" is very familiar with it. In the days when he first came to the Fairy Court, he visited it. The ancient oak tree is called the "Oak Tree of the Elder", and there are elves under the tree The place where court elders hold formal meetings.

Occasionally, elves from other elf kingdoms would come here and use the venue at the foot of the Elder Oak to perform some more solemn ceremonies.

If nothing else, the Divine Sword Trial Ceremony will be held there.

But now, Xia Duo actually dreamed strangely, and dreamed about the venue of the future Excalibur trial, and even the scene, how unbelievable this is!
"Could it be that Excalibur Spirit chooses its own master? Or is it some high-ranking mage just playing around?"

All kinds of possibilities appeared in Xia Duo's mind, but none of them could avoid an external force, but Xia Duo was very sure that he had not received any external force.

This is very contradictory. Either the external force is so clever that I can't see the slightest flaw at all, or it's a coincidence that I dreamed to the extreme, and I also dreamed of a suspected future scene.

But no matter what, it seems to be showing that he has a destiny with the sword of domination!
At this moment, even if Xia Duo had adjusted his emotions before the trial long ago, he couldn't help but be moved by it. Could it be possible for him to become the prophesied crowned king of Cormanthor?
At the same time, an idea appeared in his mind almost irresistibly, that is——

If you really get the Sword of Dominion, should you stay in this projected plane?
This idea is so strong, even though Xia Duo still has many ties in the main plane, he still thinks about it seriously, which shows how tempting it is!

If he can become the crowned king of Cormanthor, it is almost certain that he can rule Cormanthor for at least 1000 years, and if he returns to the main plane, he is not sure whether he can live for 1000 years.

Although the projection plane looks virtual and unreal from the main plane, inside the projection plane, there is no distinction between real and fake.

However, after thinking about it seriously, Xia Duo gave up on this idea. If he had just crossed over, he might have made such a choice.

But now, Niya is waiting for him on the main plane, and the people of Daxialing are waiting for him, so how can he bear to abandon him!
Furthermore, whether he can pass the test is still unknown. Even if he passes the test and becomes the crowned king of Cormanthor, there is no guarantee that the essence of this projected plane in the astral world can last for 1000 years.

Indeed, the crowned king of Cormanthor can reign for at least 1000 years, which can be said to be a plot, but if the projection plane is gone, then this plot will be meaningless.

In addition, there is another point, perhaps the most important point, that Xia Duo already has a relatively stable and improving self-personality, and he does not want to live his whole life with the identity, psychology, and soul of "Lyle".

It is indeed a good experience to become an elf or any other creature for a short time.

But if he always distorts himself to adapt, or automatically accepts the external "skin" in the end, it is not something he can accept.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Duo once again strengthened himself. If this is also a part of the Excalibur trial, then he would rather fail because of his choice.

……

Soon it was morning.

The chirping of birds chirping outside the window awakened Xia Duo from his state of ecstasy. After the bizarre dream last night, he tried to meditate again, but no dream appeared again.

So he calculated the derivation process of the ascending ring for half the night in a state of meditation.

He has already made full preparations for the Excalibur Trial, and now gains and losses are no longer what he needs to consider, but it is the original plan for this projection plane trip. If there is a chance, he still cannot relax.

While sorting out the harvest of last night in his mind, Xia Duo cast a spell to clean himself, and put on a gorgeous dress for himself.

Then he went out at the urging of Parias.

……

"Brother Lyle—"

As the distance from the "Elder Oak" got closer, Celine, who had been quiet all the way, finally couldn't bear the uneasiness in her heart, and called Xia Duo in a low voice.

But the shadow of being grounded yesterday was still there, and she didn't dare to instigate her brother to escape from the Elven Court anymore, and just stared at Xia Duo with big wet eyes.

Xia Duo sighed in his heart. In the memory of "Lair", among the generation of Akarama's peers, only Lyle and Celine are the same age, and the relationship is the closest. The other big brothers have hundreds of years. estrangement.

At this time, my dearest brother is going to do a very dangerous thing, how could Celine be indifferent!
