Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1084 Received the manuscript again and finally met the ancient mage
After the demiplane experiment accident, there is no distinction between the upper and lower levels of the Mage Tower, at least in the eyes of explorers like Xia Duo.

Everything is on the same plane, just passing through a few areas of aether fog that are thicker but still enough to be oriented.

The private residence they went to this time was located behind a fog of ether. Basically, the thicker the fog of ether, the weaker the existence of the main plane.

It can even be said that in the future, these areas may only be on the ether plane. At that time, the areas that still have space on the main plane after the fog, such as this private residence, may really become like isolated islands.

The isolated island in time and space may not fall back to the main plane until the ruins area is completely separated from the ether plane.

Of course, it is also possible to fall to other material planes.

……

Soon, the five of Xia Duo stood in front of a private residence. Compared with libraries and warehouses, this area has more personal decorations.

Such as the presence of similar nicks left by the anchor points used for constant magical vigilance on the wall of the doorway, or the presence of vines that gradually grow from the upper edge of the door frame and grow down the left and right door frames.

Or floors that are more refined than other areas, decorative lamps, etc.

From the elf books in the library, it can be seen that the owner of the mage tower has a strong sense of identity with elf culture, and at the same time, he may have a good personal relationship with some elves, otherwise how could he get so many original books? Elf books too!
As for the overall decoration style inside the mage tower, that is secondary. Hundreds of years ago, elf culture was in the mainstream, even after Nether mage gave up elf magic.

Even now, elven culture is popular in Netheril, and accounts for a large proportion of artistic expression.

The owner of the private residential area where Xia Duo and five people are currently located should also be deeply influenced by elf culture, and Xia Duo is deeply worried about this.

In the future, if human beings want to truly surpass elves, in addition to the field of magic, the field of culture must also keep up, otherwise they will always be in the spiritual colonization of elf culture.

"Lord Xiaduo, do you want to start?"

"Well, let's get started!"

After all, they are high-level mages of the Seven Towers. Rodite and others have been able to actively cooperate with Xia Duo after the previous two practice of stripping the element pool link.

Although Xia Duo doesn't need them to be too active, just being able to follow orders is enough, but Rodit and others' thinking about stripping the element pool link in the soul link also brought him a lot of fresh inspiration.

Therefore, Xia Duo did not reject Rodite's active inquiry, and even between casting spells to sort out and guide the energy of the elemental pool, he was also willing to communicate with the three of Rodite in the mind link.

There is no accident in stripping the link of the element pool, and it is not difficult to break the protection system. The only accident is that the door of this private residence is not open like the library, which is only protected by spells.

Unlike the warehouse, the door is a movable stone sliding door.

The gate here is completely integrated with the wall. If it weren't for the door frame and the decoration on the door, it wouldn't even be considered a door at all.

The Tower of Time also has a situation like this, which is actually a spell gate, but compared to the library's protection method with creation-based spells as the core, the spell gate here is based on transformation-based spells.

In short, the door here will automatically open when the mage tower is intact, and if the protection system fails, it can also be used as a stone wall to achieve a certain protective effect.

At least below the high-level mage, it is estimated that there is no good way to handle this wall.

But for Xia Duo, this wall can only be regarded as a small accident to adjust the monotonous cracking process.

"Lord Xia Duo, what should I do now? Do you want to change?"

Abner's inquiry interrupted Xia Duo's thinking, but he didn't care, he just waved his hand and said, "No, if it's the same in the next place, should we end this exploration operation?"

"Then...Lord Xia Duo, what are you going to do?"

"Just deal with it—"

Saying that, Xia Duo resorted to the rebellious petrochemical domain, together with the water element summoned by the blood power, penetrated into the stone gate.

Almost instantly, the upper end of the stone gate softened and drooped, and the lower end also became swollen. After a while, the stone gate, which was originally connected to the left and right walls, became a stone cave covered with mud.

After that, Xia Duo didn't care whether the mud would pollute the portable space, and directly used the portable space to overlap with this place, and then separated, and took away the mud, leaving a relatively spacious aisle.

In fact, if the stone gate is not integrated with the surrounding walls, but an independent structure, then Xia Duo doesn't need to soften it first, just take it away.

After the aisle, it is a real private residence. Similar to the Tower of Time, it also has a reception room first, and then leads to several rooms.

Xia Duo went in and slipped around. Except for the area that seemed to be a magic laboratory that had completely disappeared, the other areas were relatively complete.

Except for a few handwritten notes scattered in the study, he failed to find anything more valuable.

It stands to reason that after the demiplane experiment accident, the owner of the mage tower gave this area special protection, which means that there were people here at the time, but now let alone people, not even a bone was found.

Xia Duo could only speculate that the owner of this private residence might have been busy with something in the magic laboratory at the time, and then something happened, and he disappeared with the magic laboratory.

Of course, it is also possible that there was no one here at the time, and the master of the mage tower protected the loneliness, but this possibility is so small that it can almost be ignored.

"Let's go, there is one last place!"

"Ah."

……

The last relatively stable elemental pool fusion area is also a private residence, and the gate is still a stone gate that is driven by the magic of transformation and connected with the left and right walls.

This time there was also an accident, but this time the accident was much more exciting than the last integrated stone gate!
In fact, when Xia Duo destroyed the protection system of the private residence area, he vaguely noticed that there might be some kind of living creature inside the residence that had the same authority as the protection system.

When the protective system was broken, the stone door was opened, and a humanoid creature that was burning with flames and emitting a large amount of fire elements rushed out screaming.

At that time, Xia Duo's expression was wonderful.

He was prepared to communicate with an ancient mage who smuggled from the past to the present, but he didn't expect to meet this thing.

Perhaps this is the price of smuggling from the past to the present!
"Hilda Lanna, bitch! Hilda Lanna, cousin!"

The roar of the Pyroman, who is suspected to be an ancient Nether mage, broke into the spiritual connection between Xia Duo, Rodite and others.
