Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1182 Use influence to prepare in advance
After separating from Collins, Xia Duo walked to the Arcane Union on foot. He walked slowly along the way, mainly thinking about who would agree to study demon summoning.

In fact, Lord Collins has already mentioned this issue just now. There is a lot of controversy within the Seven Towers, and obviously there are not a few people who agree with the research.

Even Xia Duo himself, if he didn't have the impression of demons in the game before time travel, he would be more inclined to agree to research this new type of summoning spell.

After all, this is also a new technology, and Zall has already started it. If this side does not follow up quickly, it may fall into a disadvantage in the future because of this.

But knowing that demons are evil in nature and extremely difficult to control, then he is not very in favor of this kind of research, and most of the things in the outer plane are related to spirit, will, and soul. If one is not good, it may cause an irreparable disaster .

Therefore, Xia Duo prefers not to do any research on demons except for demon slaughter before he is absolutely sure.

Summoning, or even transforming demons, is too risky. At present, Netheril does not need such high-risk research, and steady development is enough.

For a moment, Xia Duo even felt that the demon summoning spell was thrown by the elves or drow to interfere with Netheril.

Seeing that [Misser Energy Core] is already in the gestation stage, if it interferes, it may die halfway.

While that's extremely unlikely, it's not impossible.

Whenever possible, fixes are needed!
Xia Duo is firm-willed, and will not change what he believes, unless there are hard facts in front of him, proving that he is wrong.

……

Back at the temporary residence of the Alpha Federation, Niya has already returned. As soon as the two met, Niya began to tell Xia Duo what happened in Gilles Tower in the morning:
"The application for the materials went very smoothly, and I got all the materials I wanted, but then the Arcanist Schom summoned me and told me something."

"Scombe?"

Hearing this name, Xia Duo immediately felt a little uncomfortable. He quickly pulled Niya and asked, "What did the Arcanist Schombe tell you?"

"He said that after the snowmelt competition, he would call a joint meeting of the Grand Arcanists and invite me to attend."

"Then have you agreed?"

"of course not!"

Regarding this question, Niya's expression looked a little dignified, "The information I applied for is logically impossible to apply for with my current authority, but I succeeded in applying.

"Then, the Grand Arcanist of Schom wanted to invite me to attend the joint meeting of the Grand Arcanists of the Arcane Federation. It was hard to say that there was no connection, so I refused.

"Of course, I didn't return the materials. After all, these were promised to me by the teacher before. Although the teacher is gone, I will not give in what should be taken."

"What happened after that? Is Archmage Schombe angry?" Xia Duo asked again.

"That's not true, just a few words of encouragement, and let me leave."

Xia Duo was not too surprised by this. After all, Schom was the successor personally appointed by the princess, and he was instructed by Byron to become a great arcanist. Under extreme circumstances, it is impossible to deliberately embarrass Niya, who is the princess's student.

Of course, if you want to benefit, it is basically impossible. They also have students and relatives, and it is not up to outsiders to benefit.

Then, Niya continued to tell the story of the morning: "After I left the Gilles Tower, because I was worried, I went to Nether Palace to meet Ms. Greta and asked about the invitation of the Great Arcanist of Schom."

"What did Ms. Greta say?"

"After contacting a few friends, she found out that the Grand Arcanist of Schom wants to use the teacher's influence to promote the passage of an issue in the Arcane Federation, and use this matter to control more influence left by the teacher."

Niya's words made Xia Duo deeply frown. The princess is not dead, but ascended to a spiritual state. Although the influence she left behind does not penetrate into every aspect, it is still very powerful.

Schum himself also inherited this kind of influence. Generally speaking, what Schum wants to do, not to mention the interior of the Seven Towers, even other great arcanists will largely not refuse.

Now, Schom actually made his mind on Niya, at least it showed that what he wanted to do was difficult to reach an agreement even within the Seven Towers, let alone get the other great arcanists to agree.

Although Niya didn't mention whether what Schom wanted to do was to study the summoning of demons, in Xia Duo's view, it was very possible!

Of course, even if it wasn't this, it could be some other very radical plan. Otherwise, the influence that Schom inherited from the princess wouldn't have developed to this point at all.

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo asked again: "What does Master Byron think about this?"

"I haven't contacted Master Byron, but Ms. Greta told me that Master Byron may be busy with the life-extending spell recently and has no time to take care of the Seven Towers."

That's it!
Xia Duo probably knew why Schom was so "crazy", maybe it was because there was no elder around him to remind him!

……

Then, Xia Duo also told Niya about the process of his meeting with Lord Collins, emphasizing that there may be a big controversy within the Seven Towers on whether to prohibit the study of demon summoning.

In this regard, Niya expressed her surprise:
"Is this kind of thing controversial? I think creatures like demons are so dangerous, let alone ordinary people, even us arcanists, once we face them, it is difficult to guarantee our own safety.

"In addition, there is also the infection of the devil's breath. Although it can be eliminated with the blessing of holy power, once more people study it, there will be more than just one or two yesterday, and it may cause an unbearable disaster."

"People's thinking is different! Some people can see the crisis from it, but some only see the powerful power, or just to satisfy their own curiosity."

Xia Duo let out a long sigh. It is so difficult to unify the mind. Even an interest group with highly consistent interests like the Seven Towers will often have internal disputes. How many contradictions are hidden in the whole of Netheril?
……

In the next few days, as Xia Duo expected, people continued to ask him his opinion on "whether he agrees with the study of demon summoning".

But except for a few great arcanists and the familiar director of the Arcane Union, Xia Duo ignored everyone, and he was very busy during this time!

Due to the postponement of the snowmelt competition, he planned to prepare the materials that were originally scheduled to be handed over to Iolum after the snowmelt competition. For this reason, he needed to conduct some experiments on the Austrian Federation.

In the past few days, this work has involved most of his mental energy, and he will not complete it until the eve of the postponed snowmelt competition.
