Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1085 Transformation into the Future
Seeing this, Xia Duo naturally didn't dare to take it lightly. He called Rodite and others to evacuate quickly, and at the same time summoned a large amount of water to rush towards the Burning Man running towards him, trying to block the opponent's footsteps.

And in this process, he also tried to communicate with the other party, but the other party only had one roar that was transmitted to the soul link:

"Hilda Lanna, bitch! Hilda Lanna, cousin!"

Hilda Lanna seems to be the name of a female elf. Xia Duo had never heard of this name anywhere before, so what does she have to do with this living person in front of her?

Xia Duo couldn't help imagining a scene where humans and elves fell in love and killed each other. In the past when Yeerlan and Netheril were close, there were indeed many humans and elves who fell in love, and there were not a few of them who successfully gave birth to children.

Of course, due to the extremely exaggerated gap in the natural lifespan of humans and elves, even those loves that were once extremely hot will eventually become dull or even completely annihilated as the human side continues to age.

As for the descendants of humans and elves, even if a few were taken to elven society, they eventually returned to Netheril either actively or passively.

Could this Burning Man be a half-elf expelled from elven society, or a human suffering master whose feelings were played by elves?

Then why did he become what he is now, and still live till now?

Doubts popped up in Xia Duo's mind one after another, but now is not the time to explore these, the most urgent thing is how to deal with this burning man.

He never expected that exploring a mage tower ruins hundreds of years ago would meet a survivor who lived from that year to the present, even though the survivor's state was a bit abnormal.

But I have to say, this is really surprising.

"Lord Xiaduo, is that Pyroman some kind of monster? Or a surviving member of this mage tower? What should we do now?"

Although Rodite and the others quickly evacuated at Xia Duo's request, it was impossible to say that they were not curious about this situation.

Moreover, Rodit also "heard" the roar of Pyro "breaking" into the soul link, which made him even more curious, not only curious about what "Hilda Lanna" did to make Pyro so angry , and at the same time curious about the real identity of this burning man, is he a survivor of this mage tower?

"There is no longer any area worth searching in the ruins, let's exit first."

While dealing with the Burning Man, Xia Duo replied to Rodit, "As for this Burning Man, I suspect that he is the survivor of this mage tower, and it is very likely that he is the only survivor. Unfortunately, for some reason, He seems to be a little out of his mind."

"Could it be caused by his form? I heard that after some longevity rituals fail, people will be transformed into certain special forms and lose their minds. Do you think he used imperfect longevity rituals in order to survive? ?”

Rodit's father is a senior arcanist, and he himself has been studying in Kiran Tower all year round, so he is even more sensitive on many issues than Shaduo, a senior arcanist.

Being reminded by Rodit, Xia Duo was also a little stunned. Living can be said to be the most basic pursuit of every life. From the time they came into contact with the elves and knew that there is such a long-lived life, the Nether people began to pursue longevity.

It's a pity that the threshold for prolonging life is not low. As far as Xia Duo knows, even the simplest prolonging life is at least an 8-level transformation spell.

This blocks the vast majority of spellcasters, and only the few people at the top have the possibility to come into contact with and have the ability to cast such spells.

As for the Longevity Ceremony that can obtain a nearly eternal lifespan, the threshold is even higher. Apart from the spell level, there are other taboos, either explicit or dark.

In this regard, Xia Duo didn't know much about it. The Tower of Time only had two life extension spells, and there was no longevity ritual.

Hundreds of years ago, the degree of sharing of relevant information may have been very high, but this mage tower may not have more than a dozen great mages. (The tower owner has protected more than ten areas)

Xia Duo felt that this survivor probably received the special protection of the tower master only because of his special status, maybe he was a student or heir.

It is difficult for Xia Duo to completely restore the state of the various areas of the Mage Tower when the accident happened, but since there is no news in the past few hundred years, he can roughly guess that the more than ten areas that were specially protected at that time , most likely closed.

As a result, after the people inside escaped the direct damage of the accident, they fell into endless despair that it was difficult to escape the shelter.

Of course, it is also possible that the closed state is the real protection, just like the stasis room of the Tower of Time. Although it was originally used to imprison powerful enemies, it is also a good way to save it under special circumstances.

Just like Niya's father, Lord Epps, because of the curse of the elf high mage, his life is about to dry up, and he has obtained a long-term state of solidification through stasis, hoping to be rescued in the future.

The owner of the mage tower may have made such a choice at the time, paying special attention to more than ten important areas, which may be the "time capsule" left for the future.

But judging from the current situation, either the "time capsule" failed, or something went wrong. Anyway, the people inside were not well protected, and at the same time lost the opportunity to escape.

Under such circumstances, try to perform the longevity ritual and transform yourself into an inhuman state, so that it is possible to wait until the day when you can see the sun again.

It's a pity that although the only survivor did survive, it was not much better than dying directly.

As a result, Xia Duo once again doubted the identity of "Hilda Lanna", maybe this "Hilda Lanna" is not an elf, maybe it is the Tower Master himself.

At that time, although Nether mages gave up elven magic, elven culture was still popular, and it was normal to take an elven name.

As for the more than ten people who survived in the special protection area, although they did not die on the spot or live in another world in the demiplane experiment accident because of the special protection of the tower owner, they were unable to leave the area for a long time, and it was very difficult. It is possible to accumulate endless resentments.

Up to now, even if that Pyro has lost his normal thinking, he still can't forget "Hilda Lanna" who is very likely to be the owner of this mage tower.

Of course, the real situation needs further investigation.

……

I don't know if it was because he was afraid of the impact of the water, or his mind was unreasonable. After chasing Xia Duo for a certain distance, the burning man suddenly gave up the chase and chose to wander aimlessly in the ruins of the mage tower.

This made Xia Duo heave a sigh of relief. Although this burning man is almost incomprehensible to ordinary people, it is not difficult for him to solve. What he is really worried about is that the fierce battle may completely destroy this ruin. destroyed.

Although there are no treasures worth searching for in the ruins, the ruin itself is an invaluable treasure for an arcanist who is interested in exploring in depth in the realm of the plane.
