Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1270
In order to avoid the sight of the elves as much as possible, all Xia Duo could think of was to use the magic circle to keep the detection-avoiding spell above level 9 for a long period of time.

If he casts the spell by himself, it can barely work, but it is definitely not as stable as the magic circle. If he can't get supplies from the Vengeance Judge, then he can only take a risk.

As for contacting the great arcanist among the remnants of the empire, Xia Duo never thought about it. The matter of the Elven Excalibur was too unimaginable, and he couldn't explain it at all.

And if some archarcanist took an interest in him—or, more accurately, in his memory—it would be a disaster rather than a blessing.

Even if the Elven Excalibur is handed in, it may not be able to get the other party to give up.

Even if it was Xia Duo himself, if he encountered something too bizarre and very important, he was interested in it and had the ability to understand it at the same time, would he not understand it?

If you were a grand arcanist among the remnants of the empire, if you knew that there was a high-ranking mage—even if it was later discovered that the archmage suddenly brought the symbol of Cormanthor's royal power, Xia Duo would definitely take that high-ranking mage inside and out. All the details in every cell and every bit of memory are clear!
There is no need to consider this!
When it comes to the Elven Excalibur, as long as Xia Duo doesn't mention this matter, it is impossible for others to suspect him. This is really too bizarre.

Even in Cormanso's country, after the investigation of Crown Prince was fruitless, the most he suspected was that the excalibur casters were hiding their secrets, and suspected that they were colluding in rebellion.

Even this incident may make the forces dissatisfied with the crown king in Cormanthor really start to join forces. Without the [Sword of Ruler], the holders of the other two elven swords are the legal rulers.

One is the commander-in-chief of the army, and the other is the leader of the mage. The crown king does not have the legal principles brought by the [Sword of Ruler], so how can he order them and rule Cormanthor?

Having "personally" experienced the [Excalibur Trial], Xia Duo knew very well that Mian Wang had no direct affiliation with the holders of the other two Excalibur swords.

Mianwang's ownership of the other two sword holders is essentially derived from the [Sword of Ruler] and the inertia of superiors and subordinates for the next 1000 years.

Of course, the original holders of the other two divine swords may not be able to live as long as the crowned king. The three elven divine swords all have the effect of prolonging life, but only high-level mages can stay in the mortal world almost indefinitely, although they will eventually lose it. Most of the power is reserved for the last blow.

If the holders of the other two divine swords changed, and they were no longer the old acquaintances at first, then Mianwang might not be able to suppress the young man's ambition.

Not to mention being in power for a thousand years, even if they live for a thousand years, there are very few elves who can do it. There will always be young power holders who are not satisfied with the status quo and want to covet a higher position.

Xia Duo is looking forward to what will happen in Cormanthor after the [Sword of Ruler] disappears. If there is a small crown war, it will be very interesting.

Perhaps the remnants of the Arcane Empire can reappear on the surface with the support of Ilfaran and establish a Second Empire.

It's a pity that it must take quite a long time. Considering the time loop, Xia Duo estimated that he would not be able to see that day.

……

Putting the [Summon-Seal] magic circle in the cave into the portable space, and simply cleared some traces left by him, Xia Duo left the cave.

After that, he flew all the way to the North Pole at high speed, and he didn't stop until he approached the ruins of the empire, sending a directional message in the direction of the ruins.

Soon he received a reply from Elise. As usual, it was an instant teleportation coordinate based on the background fluctuation of the magic net and requiring target confirmation.

Xia Duo teleported to the coordinates and saw Elise in a bush. As soon as they met, Elise asked with a cold face:
"Eight days have passed since the mission started, what have you done?"

"I have inquired about extremely important information!"

Xia Duo was not in a hurry, and when the remnants of the empire were about to face a large-scale search by Comanzo, Elise would never dare to turn a blind eye to important information, even if it was falsely reported.

Not to mention that he really has important information!
Sure enough, after Xia Duo said these words, Elise's face softened a little, but she still didn't have a good face, "Follow me to the branch."

For safety reasons, if it is really important information, then Cormanthor's attention to it is very high priority. Talking in the wild may arouse the vigilance of the other party.

The branch base of the Division of Vengeance Judgment is equipped with extremely high protection measures to avoid detection, and it will be much safer to talk there.

In this regard, Xia Duo did not refuse, and returned to the branch base with Elise.

……

There was no one in the base, and everyone was sent out to perform tasks. After Elise returned with Xia Duo, she asked directly in the hall:
"What kind of information is it? Now we can tell!"

"Yes, my lord."

Before coming here, Xia Duo had organized the language, and now it is just following the scriptures:

"My lord, I learned a great secret from a Comanthor demon, uh--an elf! There is an underground passage in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, which leads to the Underdark and connects to the drow, the deadly enemy of the elves!
"As the saying goes, 'the enemy of an enemy is a friend', the situation in the empire is now critical. If we can get in touch with Drow and fight against Comanthor together, it may make the situation of the empire better."

There was not a single lie in Xia Duo's words, but some details were omitted.

He did know the location of the underground passage from a Comanthor elf, the patriarch of the Silver Leaf family, Orepus, but Orepus is not the Comanthor elf of this projected plane, but the master. face.

After listening to Xia Duo's narration, Elise's expression suddenly became serious, and her eyes were full of determination. She approached Xia Duo, stared into Xia Duo's eyes, and continued to ask:
"where is it?"

Xia Duo took out the simple map prepared in advance, and handed it to Elise with both hands, "The underground passage is where the red dot is drawn on the map!"

Elise took the map, but didn't check it immediately, but continued to ask: "Where's the elf?"

"That elf is no longer in this world!" Xia Duo did not lie, because Orepus was not from this world (plane) in the first place!
Elise only thought that Xia Duo had killed the elf, showing a regretful and embarrassed expression, but she quickly put away her emotions and said to Xia Duo:

"This matter is very important. I need to report it to the superior immediately. You should rest at the base first. I guess the superior will send someone over to inquire soon. What do you want to say!"

Xia Duo understood that the other party was reminding him that he might encounter a polygraph test. After all, during the empire period, the Inquisition Division was best at this to a certain extent!
"My lord, I assure you that what I just said is not half a lie, I am willing to accept another inquiry from the organization!"

"Very good, let's go to rest!"

"Yes."
