Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1172
Sevington, New Town, Great Arena.

At this time, it has been a whole year since Xia Duo and Niya came here last time. During this year, the arena does not seem to have changed at all, but the people who came here are no longer the same people from the past .

Looking at the tall, magnificent, and light blue stone building in front of him, Xia Duo really felt as if he had passed away.

In fact, since he has been to the projection plane during this year and stayed for more than one year, in his perception time, more than one year has indeed passed.

But thanks to the memory tracing ability brought about by the awakening of the blood, Xia Duo's memory of the last time he came to watch the snow melting competition is so fresh and vivid by tracing back the past memories.

As if it all happened yesterday.

At this moment, time seems to be gone.

……

"What's wrong? Aren't you going in?" Niya reminded in a low voice.

The entrance of the big arena is naturally very spacious, but the two of them stuck at the entrance also affected the order of normal entrants.

The Ion Stones constantly flying above their heads are the best proof of identity. The crowd around them is like flowing water bypassing the reef, automatically giving way to a large space.

This made the originally quite spacious entrance not so spacious, and even a little cramped.

"Well, let's go in!"

Xia Duo noticed the awe, excitement, or nervous expressions of the people around him, and lamented the gap in the status of spellcasters in his heart. He didn't want the future magic civilization to have such a distinction between high and low.

Whether one is noble or not cannot be determined entirely by strength, but should be determined by the character and contribution of the person.

In Netheril, the factor of power is too important, such as Congeigno, although he is highly respected, but if he is not a great arcanist, how can he have such a high reputation?
When Xia Duo received enlightenment at the beginning of learning magic, in order to familiarize himself with Nether characters, he often read a book called "The Biography of the Archmage Dasriel".

Dasriel is a character more than 200 years ago. He was born in poverty and was a farmer until he was 30 years old.

After being exposed to magic, including learning words, it took only 15 years to become a powerful archmage.

But after he became a great mage, he didn't continue to follow the path of magic, but chose to return to his hometown and protect it.

He spends his days cultivating new spellcasters for his homeland, or cleaning up the orc threat.

But Dasriel is rarely known by his name today. Even at that time, what people talked about most was the legendary story of how a farmer became an archmage, rather than what he did for his hometown after returning to his hometown. of various facts.

Weili belongs to his own world. It is extremely difficult to change this status quo, but if it does not change, how can it be called "civilization".

It's just a jungle where the jungle is prey to the jungle.

The reason why human beings are human beings and intelligent creatures is precisely because human beings can get rid of the drive of animal instincts to a certain extent, and turn to actively discover, understand and transform the world through the three outlooks shaped by the day after tomorrow.

……

Entering the arena, you first pass through a short passage, and then you suddenly see a circular structure that is very similar to modern stadiums on earth.

The seats are distributed around, and the outer seats get higher.

Among them, the direction of the entrance is empty, as if there is a gap in the ring, and in the direction facing the entrance, there are four seats high above, which are obviously the seats for the representatives of the four parties in this snowmelt competition.

There were only three snowmelt competitions last time.

Now that the princess has ascended to the gods and left the main plane, it is unknown who will represent Netheril in that position this time.

Could it be that the princess would lower her avatar to watch a game full of mortals?
Xia Duo thought secretly in his heart, and soon followed Niya's footsteps to the area where the Seven Towers mages were. Although strictly speaking, he was not a member of the Seven Towers of the mage tower organization, but at least he was also a member of the camp A member of the Seven Towers.

In addition, Niya has not left the Gilles Tower for the time being, so it is always right to sit here.

……

After sitting down, Xia Duo responded to the greetings of the seven tower mages around him one by one, and then began to look for De Parker in the arena.

At present, all the people in the arena have not yet come, and there are still people entering at the gate, but it is already more than when the number of people was the largest last year.

Fortunately, the internal capacity of the arena is large enough, otherwise it would be embarrassing, but from the current point of view, except for those areas dedicated to elves and dwarves, the other areas are almost full.

"De Parker, are you here?"

"Here we are, we just saw you come in, the three of us are now sitting in the second row of the second area to the right of the entrance!"

After receiving De Parker's reply, Xia Duo immediately followed the information given in his message and looked diagonally across.

Sure enough, in a corner, he found De Parker who was nodding to him, and Gibson and Harlan who were looking around with excitement.

"Let's watch the game with peace of mind!"

After that, Xia Duo stopped replying and started to observe the arena itself.

……

After becoming a senior arcanist, Xia Duo's vision is naturally different. At this time, looking at the diamond-shaped platform in the center of the arena, it is not like when he came last year, and he can't see anything.

Now, he clearly knows that the essence of the platform is a small demiplane that completely overlaps with the main plane, with an internal area of ​​more than [-] square meters. (It is much larger than the demiplane of Huangsha~)

Due to the special magic net environment reconstructed inside the arena, Xia Duo can even directly see the source of the elements of this plane to a certain extent.

The elements and energies are very balanced, or a bit too balanced, even the main plane does not have such an absolutely balanced elemental phase.

This look is man-made.

So Xia Duo became more interested.

But before continuing to observe and study the demiplane of the opposite platform, he plans to observe the magic net environment in the arena first.

When he came here last year, he found that the magic net environment inside the arena had been restructured, and there were some subtle changes this year compared to last year.

But compared to the last time, he was not very sure. This time, he was very sure that it was a Myth, a small Myth that only existed inside the arena!

As for last year, since he was still unable to observe the magic net from a macro perspective at that time, even if he could trace back his memory, he could only confirm that the magic net had been reconstructed. up.

But judging from the changes in the magic net environment inside the arena this year and last year, maybe last year the fanlock was already under construction, and it was only completed now this year!
……

Soon, Xia Duo noticed that the strings of the magic net around him vibrated, which was a sign of teleportation. Compared with last year, there were only a few fixed teleportation points, this year's teleportation points were much denser.

Some of the seven-tower mages who were late even teleported directly to the specially reserved vacant seats, and sat down without having to walk here.

Xia Duo guessed that this might have something to do with Fansuo. The new snowmelt competition will last longer than last year. He has a lot of time to study this.

Of course, that must be done after researching the demiplane of the opposite platform.
