Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1243 The Variable Demon Army on the Main Plane
For a while, Xia Duo already had some doubts about the origin of this mystical lock. Even if it was researched by the Seven Towers, it may not contain the traps set by the elves in advance.

Not only did such a mythal fail to bring him a sense of security, but it made him flustered for a while. However, the establishment of the Severton mythal must have cost a lot of manpower and material resources. Just a guess is not enough to make Seven Towers give up the mythal plan.

If it were Xia Duo himself, when a long-term plan came to the end and was about to be completed, if someone said that the plan had hidden dangers, he would not believe it, and even thought it was an obstacle to the plan.

Under such circumstances, Xia Duo once again brought up the idea of ​​building a mage tower in Severton. If there is no mage tower, such a Severton really does not make people feel at ease!
As for the possibility of the mysia expanding into a border enchantment, there is no need to consider the long-term for the time being. After all, Netheril on the main plane is different from the Arcane Empire on the projection plane.

The lords of Netheril are very independent, and it is unlikely that they will be willing to join the centralized mystic system covering the entire territory of Netheril. This is equivalent to being shorter than the Seven Towers.

Although the reality is that they are a head shorter, but in terms of law, they are equal to each other.

In addition, there is another biggest difference between the main plane and the projected plane——

Xia Duo knew that Iolum on the main plane was likely to invent the Mither energy core, but the projected plane did not have Iolum, let alone the shadow of a super energy such as the Mither energy core.

Netheril on the main plane is likely to take the floating city route in the future, and the importance of the ground border will be greatly reduced, and the protection of the border enchantment is not necessarily required.

In other words, with the Floating Void City, even if there is no protection on the ground, the enemy will not easily invade until they can solve the Floating Void City.

The most precious resource in war is people, not land, but Xia Duo doubts how many ordinary people will be able to move into the floating city after it is completed in the future.

The fewer the common people, the less potential for war and development.

"May Nether mage not be so unwise!"

……

After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Duo's body has been covered with a layer of golden light. The spring sun is not very hot, and after being filtered by the elemental balance field of the robe, it becomes more gentle.

Xia Duo enjoyed this kind of leisure time very much, but it was not a real leisure time at this moment. He had to complete a demon-slaying arrow and hand it over to Lord Haran within three days.

And after that, he has to prepare the mass production plan for the magic mechanic of the Tower of Time. If the mass production design is handed over to other people, then the OEM order of Lord Harlan may not be able to be completed within a month. done within.

Back at the Austrian Law Federation, Xia Duo found that there were a lot more people here than when he first came here in the morning, and most of them came to inquire about news, but this has nothing to do with him anymore.

The investigation results of the Seven Towers have been announced. Although the dust has not been completely settled yet, it is almost unlikely to be overthrown. Xia Duo can continue to carry out the trial production of the Demon-Slaying Arrow with peace of mind.

……

And on the other side.

After Badigal returned to the Gustav Tower, he immediately received a notification from the Foreign Affairs Department of the Tower, saying that Prince Pasteur had been waiting in the reception room for a long time.

As soon as he hadn't rested for two days and two nights, Badigal still resisted the state of physical and mental irritability and sleepiness, and came to the reception room soon without delay.

Here, he met Prince Pasteur, who also looked tired. In terms of physical fitness, dwarves are more than a little better than humans.

But now Prince Pasteur is showing signs of exhaustion, and even the big beard on his chest that would be neatly combed on any occasion has become a little messy.

There may be an element of misery in this, but it is more likely that Dan Zuo's situation is already very bad.

Thinking like this, Badigal pretended not to notice at all, and asked with concern as usual: "Your Highness, come so early, is there anything new in the underground?"

Prince Pasteur has a special status, and he is a holy hammer warrior comparable to a grand arcanist. Since the day he came to Severton, he has continuously brought the latest information about the underground war to the Seven Towers.

It is not wrong for Badigal to ask this question, but it obviously avoided the real intention of Prince Pasteur.

However, Prince Pasteur didn't seem to realize that Badigal's evasion was possible, but he answered this question seriously:
"The number of drow priests is increasing day by day, but they have temporarily slowed down their offensive and turned to hoarding demons. In the future, Danzo will surely receive a thunderous blow, and maybe Danzo will no longer exist by then!"

Hearing this, Badigal's face suddenly changed. After more than half a month of contact with Prince Pasteur, he knew a lot about the underground war situation.

Although Drow was able to summon demons to fight before, they could only summon them in front of battle. Those demons were very crazy, sometimes even killing the summoner, and more demons were fighting each other.

If this were not the case, Danzo would have fallen long ago, but now that the drow has found a more effective way to control the demons, there may indeed be a unified army of demons in the future.

In that case, hitting the surface is really not empty talk.

Badigal immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and quickly asked again: "Prince Pasteur, this question is very important, you must answer it seriously, has drow really been able to hoard demons?"

"Yes, I'm sure!" At the end, Prince Pasteur added, "In the name of the Pasteur family!"

Hearing such an answer, Badigal frowned deeply and sighed in his heart. He knew that the Northern Alliance negotiations would not last long.

"Prince Pasteur didn't come here just to tell me this news, did he? If there is anything else, please explain it."

"It's about the negotiations of the Northern Alliance!" Prince Pasteur said solemnly.

Sure enough, Badigal thought, and heard Prince Pasteur continue to say: "Northern alliance negotiations have come to an end, and the final signing is only left. I hope that Netheril will put the safety of the North as the most important thing. In some irrelevant If you make a slight concession on the issue, Dan Zuo will definitely repay you."

"Irrelevant question?"

"Yes."

Badigal shook his head and asked, "Prince Pasteur, have you been to Lucian?"

"I've been there." Prince Pasteur's voice suddenly dropped, and he knew what Badigal wanted to say.

It was because he had been there before that he knew how difficult this seemingly insignificant problem would be when it was actually solved!
The establishment of the Northland Alliance is a good thing that will help the countries in the Northland to jointly cope with the crisis, and even win-win cooperation. The negotiations on this are more focused on the transfer and distribution of benefits.

When it comes to specific interests, although all parties have their own demands, it is not impossible to discuss.

Under the threat of Zall, the Northland Alliance negotiations advanced quickly, but they got stuck on some seemingly insignificant issues!
