Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1086
Furthermore, the existence of this Burning Man is not meaningless, isn't this just a ready-made failure sample of the longevity ritual!
In today's era, all spellcasters who can perform the longevity ritual have a profound background. Even if they fail, it is Xia Duo's turn to study.

Although he is not interested in transforming himself into an inhuman longevity ritual, who can guarantee such a thing in the future?

Perhaps an improved version with gradual transformation and no effect on self-awareness can be developed!

It is not a loss if there are advantages to occupy first.

However, the existence of Pyro was indeed something that Xia Duo hadn't thought of before, and now he is not sure whether Rodite and others can continue to keep the secret.

After all, Burning Man is likely to involve the longevity ritual, even if it does not involve the longevity ritual, the state of Burning Man itself is worth studying.

This is especially true for the Kiran Tower where Rodit is located.

Who knows if this is the beginning of a brand new fire elemental bloodline!

All the way out, Xia Duo kept thinking about whether to inform Greta of the situation here, but thinking that the princess had ascended to the gods and the avatar was about to leave, Greta's identity in Giles Tower would be somewhat embarrassing.

In case someone from Zilan Tower came forward to seize the ruins, Greta would not be able to say anything personally. At most, he could only rely on the favor left by the princess or the threat of the new god.

But in this case, is it worth it?
What price would I have to pay for Greta to make such a sacrifice?
Perhaps if you still want this ruin at that time, you have to choose to join the Zilan Tower, but there is still a big difference between the Seven Towers camp and joining the Zilan Tower for a person with great ambitions like Xia Duo.

A mere relic of a demiplane experimental accident is not worth Xia Duo's doing.

……

Thinking all the way, Xia Duo quickly left the Mage Tower, and then continued to pass through the portal provided by Rodit to the forest outside the ruins.

According to the previous agreement or the general exploration process, even if this exploration is over here, it is time to divide the accounts.

Xia Duo released the bookshelves and materials collected from the mage's tower, together with a large amount of gravel, and piled up the decaying forest glade where the six people were.

"Master Rodite, these are all the harvest. You should count them first, and the supplies will be divided here. I will bring books, manuscripts, and notes back to the watchtower first. You can send someone or go to the watchtower to copy them."

Rodit glanced at the harvest on the ground, looked at Abner, and said: "If it weren't for Lord Xiaduo this time, we wouldn't have these harvests, and all the supplies belong to Lord Xiaduo. As for these books -"

Speaking of this, Rodit paused, "These books may contain some ancient mage's ingenuity that is not outdated so far, and this is also the main purpose of our exploration this time, let's share it according to the agreement, and we will need it later Disturbing Lord Xiaduo."

"Since there is an agreement, let's follow the agreement!"

Xia Duo did not accept half of the materials that Rodit deliberately gave up. Although it could be worth tens of thousands of dollars, but such failure to abide by the agreement would leave hidden dangers.

Who knows if Rodit said this on purpose to induce him to give up the agreement, then turned around and leaked the existence of the ruins and Pyro.

Although the agreement between spellcasters is rarely witnessed by the Lord of Radiance, and many times even the written contract is not left, but after all, there are only a few people who play with the contract, and it is not popular to directly violate the contract, but to find loopholes.

In essence, this is also a game of wits. Violation of the contract will lead to the loss of social prestige, as well as the direct anger of the other party of the contract, but with the help of loopholes, it can win applause.

Even if the other party of the contract is angry, it is difficult to directly attack, and more regrets that he has not thought carefully.

Although the agreement between Xia Duo and Rodit was a simple verbal agreement, because of its simplicity, some loopholes are not easy to take advantage of.

On the way to evacuate the ruins before, Xia Duo had been thinking about what kind of form Rodite and others would breach the contract, so when he heard Rodit said that he would give up his half of the harvest, Xia Duo was extremely sensitive.

Maybe Rodit can give up on his own, but Xia Duo can't, otherwise there is a risk of giving up the agreement on his own.

As for bringing the books back to the Watchtower, the original agreement did not mention how to share knowledge gains, so as long as Xia Duo did not refuse Rodite to copy in the past, it would not be considered a breach of contract.

Even if he tampered with it, it would not be considered a breach of contract, but if he wanted to delay the time, he would directly breach the contract.

The simpler the agreement, the freer it is for both parties, and the less likely it is to have "black-box operations".

For Rodit, Xia Duo couldn't refuse even if he asked for an on-site transcription. After all, the harvest of sharing knowledge is part of the agreement.

However, Rodit did not want to transcribe on the spot, but he and Abner began to count all the books, manuscripts, notes and other gains.

As for the remaining three, under the leadership of Vigil, count the supplies that Xia Duo brought out from the warehouse of the mage tower.

It is very easy to count common materials, and it is enough to convert them according to the approximate market price, but it is more troublesome to count the harvest of knowledge.

Among other things, at least write down the quantity and the title of the book, or more carefully, write down some specific passages in the book, so as to prevent Xia Duo from taking it back to modify or change the package or something.

Although Xia Duo may not necessarily do this, but when the agreement is not specific and there is no contract constraint, it is natural to give full play to the freedom of both parties to the contract.

……

Seeing that the other five people were busy, Xia Duo didn't want to wait, so he rummaged through the books counted by Rodit and Abner.

About this mage tower, about "Hilda Lanna", about that burning man, Xia Duo was too confused. In the process of searching, he first ruled out those well-made original elf books, but Specially select books on native parchment that are not very beautifully bound.

"Neither Scroll Record·02", the name is written very straightforwardly, but Xia Duo doesn't look like this now.

"The Pros and Cons of Elf Magic" and "Advanced Application of Levitation", Xia Duo was very interested in, but these didn't seem to have much to do with this mage tower, so he could only continue to skip.

In this way, after looking through more than 20 books that were not directly related to the Mage Tower, Xia Duo began to re-examine the contents of these books.

Just turn over the pages one by one, and then re-read quickly in consciousness through memory tracing. Of course, if you only do this once, you will still miss a lot of information, and it may not be much faster than direct reading.

But if the time is prolonged, the efficiency of memory tracing can be revealed.

After flipping through all the books that had been counted, Xia Duo stepped aside and began to meditate, with countless words circling and shuttling in his mind.

In the end, he found a few names that appeared frequently, among them was "Hilda Lanna"!
It turned out to be an elf!

And she is also the aunt of the owner of this mage tower!
