Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1167 Meet with Mage Thunder and Learn About the Recent Situation
After leaving the venue, Xia Duo originally wanted to go to the library to find Niya, and then continue his unfinished shopping routine, but he didn't expect that someone was already waiting outside the venue.

"Lord Xiaduo! Please stay!"

"Director Brunders, what's the matter?"

Although Xia Duo responded to Blunders' greeting, he turned his eyes to another spellcaster beside him. He had noticed this person when he was in the venue before.

"Lord Xiaduo, let me introduce you. This is Lord Mayne Collins of Collins Land - Thunder Mage, Senior Arcanist!"

Hearing the introduction, Xia Duo was shocked. He was actually a senior arcanist, and this person had something to do with him. This person was none other than Rodite's father!

Rodite and Xia Duo have participated in several magic exchange meetings together, and also participated in the Green Field Plane War led by the Seven Towers. Not long ago, they just explored a mage tower ruins together.

I didn't expect to meet Rodit's father, a well-known senior arcanist!
When he was at the venue just now, Xia Duo had observed the other spectators, and had eye contact with many of them, but only a few of them responded with kind smiles and greetings.

This includes Auron and Brundes, who are more familiar with Xia Duo, and several directors who were able to chat with each other at the welcome dinner of the Austrian Law Federation.

But there was another person Xia Duo was not familiar with or even met before, who nodded to him. At that time, Xia Duo was still a little confused, but now he really understands.

"Lord Collins, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Xiaduo!"

Facing a senior arcanist who was much younger than himself, even younger than his own son, Collins behaved very decently, without any arrogance of his predecessors, nor did he deliberately cater to him.

After Xia Duo and Collins greeted each other briefly, Blunders suggested in a timely manner: "The president may pass by here later. It's not convenient to talk here. There is a reception room next to it. Let's talk in detail here!"

As he said that, Brundes pointed to a tightly closed door not far away. The magic net was mobilized secretly, and the invisible force instantly opened the door of the reception room, revealing the slightly dark environment inside.

Xia Duo glanced at the reception room that was gradually lit up with Brundes casting a spell, nodded to Lord Collins, and then walked towards the reception room in unison.

……

The headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation, a reception room.

After Xia Duo and Collins entered, Blunders stopped at the door, said "Then I won't bother you two", then closed the door and left.

An unfamiliar and relatively closed environment is not a very good experience for any spellcaster. Xia Duo was not prepared to make any detours, and asked directly: "I don't know why Lord Collins stayed here to wait for me this time. thing?"

"First of all, I would like to thank Lord Xiaduo for taking care of Rodite in the plane of green fields, and not long ago in the ruins of Innocent's mage tower."

"No need for this, I just did what I should do! And Rodit is also working hard, otherwise no matter how much I do, it won't help." Xia Duo said casually.

He knew that Lord Collins had not come to wait for him just to thank him, and the real theme after "first".

"Has Lord Xiaduo paid attention to the news from Severton recently?" Collins said with a hint of meaning.

"Lord Collins, are you referring to—Il Faran will participate in this year's snowmelt competition, or is it that Cormanthor suffered heavy losses in the Drow War not long ago?"

Recently, these two news are the hottest on Sevington's side, especially the latter.

Xia Duo came to Severton this time for less than half a day, and most of the time was spent in the venue just now, but it was the short time when he and Niya went out to go shopping when he first came. , he heard many people talking about these two things.

Regarding the fact that Ilfaran will participate in this year's snowmelt competition, relevant issues were discussed at the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting just now, and this has been confirmed.

As for Cormanthor's heavy losses in the Drow War, Xia Duo has not done too much investigation yet, but Collins deliberately mentioned the news from Sevington, which must be true in all likelihood.

At this moment, Collins also gave his answer: "It's the latter!"

Rao Xia Duo had already made some mental preparations, but he was still very shocked. If Comanso suffered a heavy loss, it would definitely have an important impact on the situation in the Northland!
You must know that the elven kingdom that is most hostile to Netheril is Comanthor. Even if Yeerlan's relationship with Netheril gave up elven magic before, but he has never shown the almost undisguised deepness like Comanthor. malicious.

On the contrary, in recent years, Yeerlan has a tendency to be gradually biased by Comanthor. If the strength comparison between Comanthor and Yeerlan, or even with Netheril, is reversed because of this heavy injury, what will happen to Netheril? For Riel, this is definitely good news!
But is this really the case?
Xia Duo couldn't help reconfirming to Lord Collins: "Cormanthor really suffered heavy losses in the war?"

"Yes!"

Collins nodded solemnly, and continued: "But the drows were also all driven back underground!

"However, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I received news that Comanthor intends to promote the accelerated preparation of the Northland Alliance, and it is very likely that the Northland Alliance will be led by Ilfaran and Netheril! You Why do you think this is?"

why?
Xia Duo almost subconsciously thought of a possibility: "Could it be that the drow crisis has not been completely resolved, and there may be an even greater disaster?"

As Collins said, Comanthor intends to accelerate the preparation of the Northland Alliance. If there is no crisis of national subjugation and extinction, how could Comanthor, who had been dragging the progress of the alliance's preparations before, suddenly change his attitude.

Only an extremely terrifying crisis will make two countries and two races that were not originally of one mind become one!

Regarding Xia Duo's question, Collins nodded seriously, and said, "It's Drow, and Drow has ascended to the gods, not long ago!"

"The new god who challenged the Lord of Radiance not long ago was a drow god?" Xia Duo asked immediately.

He had learned about the existence of the new god from Jenna before, but he didn't know that the new god was so bold as to challenge the Lord of Radiance as soon as he succeeded in ascension until he asked Iolum!
If it is the drow god, it doesn't seem so incomprehensible.

Drow was originally an elf, but was banished to the ground by the same kind on the surface, and alienated into a drow. During this period, he endured endless suffering, and his personality is very extreme compared to human beings. Not impossible.
