Lord of Arcane

Chapter 116 Princess
Sevington, also known as "The City of Seven Towers".

It is named after the seven towers containing magical power in the city, but these seven towers are not the only magic towers in the city, but these seven towers represent the seven groups that originated from Netheril.

Among them, the Gilles Tower where the Nether family is located is the most majestic.

Although the empire is named Netheril, due to some unspeakable reasons, the power represented by the Nether family and even the Tower of Gilles is not the strongest, and it can even be said to be the weakest.

The seven towers divide the "City of Seven Towers" Severnton into two. The part facing the sea in the north is the old city where various forces are located. The seven towers are in it, and the south of the old city is the new city.

The Seven Towers represent the vast majority of Netheril's lords, arcanists, mages, and even temple clergy.

Wherever there are people, there are disputes and cooperation. The forces of the Seven Towers are neither incompatible nor inseparable. They just need a place for mutual balance.

So there is the existence of the empire.

In fact, the new city is the core of Netheril, where the Lords' Council, the Arcana Union, the Temple, and the Elven Embassy are all located in this area.

Old Town.

The Gilles tower stands on the edge of the city, close to the narrow sea in the north. Under the tower is a large group of silver-white buildings with a uniform style, and several low mage towers are distributed among them.

Although these mage towers are relatively low compared to Gilles Tower, they stand out from the crowd compared to ordinary buildings.And in the very center of all the buildings is an elf-style palace.

The appearance is elegant, the decoration is extraordinary, and there is a faint glow of magic.

At this time, in the living room of the palace, a woman with a heroic temperament and an extraordinary appearance was sitting in the main seat, staring at the white-haired old man below.

Although the seat is divided into priorities, in the eyes of the superior, there is no arrogance, but some admiration, "Teacher, is Gustav still unwilling to agree?"

The old man sighed and said helplessly, "The Scroll of Nether has lost them, and they don't believe everything I said."

A trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the superior, but he quickly became firm again, "I can do it without them. The totem that Auron brought back last time inspired me a lot. I decided to try it out in this year's Moon Festival." .”

"No! Shia!" The old man's expression suddenly became horrified, "Don't offend God!"

Hearing the teacher's tone, Shia was also a little curious, "Teacher, don't you—"

"It's not me, it's a student of a friend of mine."

Mentioning this person, the old man was very emotional, "I think back then, he became a great arcanist at a young age, with a bright future, but because he offended God, he was exiled, and has since become a taboo."

"Teacher, what you said-"

"It's him. Speaking of which, the totem pole you got should belong to him."

There was a hint of surprise on Shia's face, "Teacher, isn't it said that he died in the exploration of another plane?"

"How is this possible? It's just that there were very few people who knew about it at the beginning. Only my old friend knew about it. Even I only found out about it in recent years. Don't spread the word, you know?"

"But teacher, isn't that one dead? Why don't you let me try?"

"Life is better than death, and a hundred years is wasted, are you willing?" The old man continued to persuade, "Ordinary people have tempers when they are offended, let alone gods?"

Hearing the teacher's constant dissuasion, Shia was very disappointed, "In this case, wouldn't it be an offense for a mortal to ascend to the gods?"

"I can't judge this. After all, apart from what the elves said, none of us know the consequences of mortals ascending to the gods. Even the so-called ascension ceremony may be a scam."

After finishing speaking, the old man sighed again, "Xia, I think you should be cautious. You are the most talented of all my students. I don't want any accidents for you."

"Teacher, don't worry, I know the seriousness. I have never believed in elves, and everything is from my heart."

Shia's tone was extremely firm, and the magical radiance in the palace echoed her words, as if she was approving her choice.

Seeing that Shia was determined, the old man stopped persuading him, got up from his seat, held the magic staff suspended on one side, squeezed it, and said:

"In that case, I'll go to Gustav's place again, hoping to win their support. Don't forget that you are the only blood left in Netheril, so please be cautious."

After speaking, the figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared completely.

After the teacher left, Siya leaned weakly on the seat and murmured, "But I have long been unable to continue my bloodline due to an accident in the experiment! There is also a family curse. If God does not help me, then I will do it myself." Be a god!"

At the end, the voice gradually became low, and the light in the living room suddenly dimmed.

……

The southern border of the empire, Saville Territory.

The time has come to the end of the month. During this time, Xia Duo was extremely busy, studying group exchanges, question and answer meetings for ordinary apprentices, physical training, borrowing books to replenish reserves, researching 1st-level spells, and so on.

He is either busy every day, or on the way to get busy.

The orchard in the Arcane Garden, the spell laboratory on the library floor, the transcription room, the dormitory, and the dining room are basically the "four points and one line" that circulate continuously.

Today is the day for Donald to apply for the assessment. In fact, Donald could apply for the assessment before today, but for some reason, it has been delayed until now.

And tomorrow is the last full moon of this year (the end of the month or the beginning of the month is a full moon), which is the last grand festival of the year, which marks the arrival of winter and is also a day for people to pay homage to the dead.

On this day, even ordinary apprentices can get a day off to go home to pay homage to their deceased relatives.

Returning home as a formal apprentice can bring more comfort to the family than returning home as an ordinary apprentice.

"Donald, are you confident to pass?"

On the public floor, outside the apprentice assessment room, a worker of the Arcane Garden asked this question with envy in his eyes. Of the more than 20 ordinary apprentices in the Arcane Garden, only Donald applied for the assessment today.

Reminiscent of his relationship with Xia Duo, and the non-stop questioning these days, the worker was thoughtful.

At this time, although Donald was still a little nervous, he didn't show the slightest bit in front of the workers. Instead, he said confidently, "No problem, I'm already very proficient in [Prosthetics]!"

"Then congratulate you in advance for passing the assessment!"

"Thank you, I'm in."

Once the door of the examination room was closed, no one knew what would happen inside, but all the workers who followed looked at the door expectantly, hoping for a good result.

After all, this will also be the result of them!
