Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1189 Coexistence of Cooperation and Competition Arrives in Leisen Territory

Of course, Netheril not only has many historical issues with Cormanthor, but also with Yeerlan and Danzo.

For example, the "Three Kingdoms Mithril Agreement" is widely known, but few people know its true terms.

This time, some improvements have also been made. In the communique of the Severton Council, the specific content of the revised agreement was not mentioned, but one thing was emphasized, that is——

From now on, Netheril has mastered the mithril extraction technology, and will provide it to any territory in need for a fee.

This means that, according to the understanding of ordinary lords, as long as mithril mines are found on the territory, they can be refined and used by themselves.

Even a lord like Xia Duo who knows the truth behind the "Three Kingdoms Mithril Agreement" can also openly use this technology.

However, limitations still exist.

When Xia Duo visited Conjenio at the beginning of the year, he was told that Netheril had already mastered the mithril extraction technology, but the high-grade mithril was still monopolized by Yeerlan.

Even dwarves are unable to extract high-purity mithril that is really suitable for high-end magic items due to the flaws in the refining method.

Now even if the Mithril extraction technology is disclosed, it does not mean that Netheril has completely solved the problem of Mithril. If you want high-quality Mithril, you still have to buy it from Yeerlan.

Or more accurately, buy it from the Moonhorn family!

It is the family of Innocent's mother, and at the same time, it is very likely that it is the famous Yeerlan family that caused Innocent's downfall and the channeling crystal was almost lost!
……

Judging from what Badigal said in the snowmelt competition before, and the communiqué issued by the Severton Council, perhaps under the pressure of Drow, there is indeed a sincere cooperation field in the Northland Alliance, but at the same time——

Competition, confrontation, and even hostility will not disappear because of this, but are very likely to intensify while maintaining cooperation in related fields.

This can't help but remind Xia Duo of the international situation in his hometown. Although the several major countries have very close cooperation in many fields, from a macro perspective, the competition will never end.

Even to a certain extent, cooperation also took on the nature of competition. At that time, cooperation was not just cooperation itself, but also a substantive competition to expand the right to speak and influence.

Xia Duo had a hunch that perhaps the situation in the Northland would evolve to the point where the gods would also be involved.

No, in fact, the new god of drow has already entered the arena, just waiting for the princess, the lord of the elves, and even the lord of brilliance to join in.

This issue is very sensitive, even before stepping on the teleportation circle, Xia Duo was still thinking about it in his mind.

……

There are so many variables in the future, Xia Duo never thinks that he can fully see the historical trend of a real world by relying on a little piece of information before time travel.

Even if a super variable like himself is removed, it can't be done!

To a certain extent, Xia Duo is also very confused, because he knows too much, thinks too much, and worries too much. In short and medium-term plans, he always strives to be comprehensive and perfect, just not wanting to leave any flaws.

Of course, in the long run, Xia Duo is quite optimistic. After all, in this world, even immortality is very likely to exist, and it is very possible for him to obtain it. So why not be optimistic?
At worst, start all over again!

Eternal life has never been a sin, but the mentality of being unable to control eternal life is!
……

With the activation of the teleportation circle, Xia Duo quickly restrained his emotions and got rid of distracting thoughts. After a misty white light passed, he had reached the purpose of this trip——

Leisen collar!
And where he is now is Lord Leisen's mage tower!
As soon as he arrived here, even before he walked out of the teleportation room, Xia Duo immediately felt Leisen's special belief culture——

The teleportation room is filled with sun patterns everywhere, especially the dome above, which is a glowing sun constructed by magic.

Before coming, Xia Duo naturally knew some basic conditions of Leisen Territory.

The contemporary lord Theremin was originally a student of the great arcanist Cliff, but later lost the ability to cast spells due to an experimental accident, but his son continued to worship under Cliff and became his student.

Before Cliff learned magic, he was already a priest of the Lord of Radiance, and after becoming a great arcanist, he still did not change his belief.

As for how true this belief is, Xia Duo has no way of knowing, but at least the atmosphere of this belief has been passed down.

Even a long time ago, on the way to Severton by boat, Xia Duo heard someone mention that the Lord of Radiance had performed miracles in Leisen Territory.

But later, he learned that the theory of miracles was pure rumors. In fact, combining the time when the miracles appeared and the time when Lord Leisen experimented with the accident, the so-called miracles were most likely to be Cliff rescuing his students.

But it is a pity that Lord Leisen has not recovered his ability to cast spells so far.

And this also made Xia Duo have some doubts about this visit.

He wants to find a way to downgrade spellcasters, so that mages over level 10 can go back and re-advance as an arcanist, because there is no obvious bottleneck from an arcanist to a great arcanist, as long as they live long enough and If you are willing to learn, you will be able to succeed.

From a legendary mage to a great arcanist, there is not much bottleneck, but if an ordinary mage wants to become a legendary mage, he needs not only the accumulation and application of knowledge, but also a little luck.

Xia Duo has not yet learned how the archmage advanced to the legendary level, but the difficulty can also be glimpsed from the information of the fifteen archmages in Netheril.

Among the fifteen great arcanists, only Cliff and Magna came from legendary mages, and Congeenio might as well, but the other twelve great arcanists all came from arcanists naturally. Achievement.

The ratio is one to four. In fact, there are obviously more than fifteen great arcanists in Netheril. Only Xia Duo knows that Chaos and Jenna are still alive.

Others don't know how much is hidden.

But there are only a handful of legendary mages with clear records, and the only ones known to be alive are probably Cliff and Magna!

I don't know how many archmages have the possibility of becoming a great arcanist, but because they gave up advanced arcanists too early at level 10, they regretted it for life.

In Xia Duo's vision, if the downgrade can be achieved, almost any mage who missed the advanced arcanist can go back and try to advance again.

Combined with various life-prolonging spells, the Grand Arcanist is no longer the patent of a few geniuses, but most people have a real and not low chance to achieve it!
Similar to the graduate students on the earth, although it is impossible for everyone, everyone has a good chance to achieve it.

Basically, as long as a person has a clear purpose and strong execution ability, there is at least a [-]% chance of becoming a graduate student, not to mention nine out of ten.

In the magic world, this kind of universal ascending channel is the strongest driving force for the sustainable development of magic civilization!
The only problem now is that Lord Leisen's downgrade seems irreversible.

If you can't find a way to improve it, then you can only think of other ways!
