Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1422 The temptation to go home, the weird Comanso
Iolum's generosity really shocked Xia Duo. Not to mention the cost of transforming the laboratory, multiple experiments are carried out simultaneously, which means that a lot of resources will inevitably be wasted!
For example, a problem was discovered in Experiment [-], but this problem will also exist in Experiment [-], but the device of Experiment [-] has already been built, even if it can be modified temporarily, it will be very troublesome.

In fact, it may not even be possible to change it, especially for the whole machine experiment. The ship turned around in a catastrophic situation and had to bite the bullet and go down. The significance of the existence of Experiment [-] may not even be one-tenth of that of Experiment [-].

This is like on the earth, when multiple laboratories carry out a research at the same time, a lot of resources will inevitably be wasted, but the laboratories on the earth may not belong to the same subject, but multiple institutions bear the costs separately .

But here, all the costs may need to be borne by Iolum alone. Even if there is a mine at home, it probably won't last long.

And more importantly——

Such a big move may attract Comanso's attention, but it may make a threat that may not be a big deal in the future suddenly come to the present!

Xia Duo believes that Iolum must have weighed the risks involved, but he still chose to do this. Perhaps the threat is already really close at hand!

Thinking that after the establishment of the Northern Alliance, there are still so many moths in Cormanthor, Xia Duo is really a little annoyed, but the reality is like this.

Not even a saint can stand by and watch a potential competitor grow stronger.

The so-called win-win may be a helpless compromise that cannot completely eliminate the opponent!

"Teacher, I understand, I will be back as soon as possible!"

After leaving the laboratory, Xia Duo returned to the Tower of Time overnight without delay.

……

Tower of Time.

Upon receiving the news of Xia Duo's return, Niya, who had already fallen asleep, almost jumped out of the bed, wrapped only in a cloak, and teleported to the door of the teleportation room.

"Xia Duo, why did you come back suddenly?"

Xia Duo, who had just stepped off the teleportation circle, was startled by the sudden appearance of Niya. He thought that Niya had already fallen asleep. Even if Ta Ling reminded him, his subconscious mind would automatically judge that there was no threat and there was no need to wake up. Come.

Unexpectedly, Niya still came, maybe she was looking forward to this moment in her subconscious!

In an instant, a warm current surged into Xia Duo's heart, and he no longer suppressed his longing, and stepped forward to hug Niya tightly in his arms.

The soft and warm touch made him deeply realize the authenticity of the two concepts of "home" and "relatives".

"Niya, I miss you!"

Xia Duo whispered his simplest and most direct desires in Nya's ear, and his fiery breath brushed against Nya's smooth neck, instantly flushing.

In the past when the two got along, Xia Duo seldom showed such strong emotions. Restraint has long been engraved in his genes and in his subconscious hometown characteristics.

But at this moment, he did not hide his emotions at all, and Niya's response was also extremely enthusiastic, she squeezed her body hard towards Xia Duo's chest.

"Xia Duo, I miss you too!"

"Ah."

In this situation, just physical contact through clothes can no longer comfort the desires and feelings of two people who miss them.

……

The clouds cleared and the rain dispersed.

Husband and wife hug each other and gossiping on the bedside. After the passion, it is inevitable to talk about practical issues.

"I'm only staying for two days, and I have to go back to Sevington."

Upon hearing this, Niya immediately pushed Xia Duo angrily, "Why? What is Master Iolum looking for you? It's been several months, haven't you finished yet?"

The resentment is beyond words, no matter how sensible Niya is, she can't drag the word "private" when it comes to emotional issues.

Niya has selfishness, and Xia Duo has the same selfishness, but his selfishness is even greater, not only the momentary pleasure at present, but also planning for the endless years in the future.

After thinking about it, he decided to reveal some inside information about the Austrian fire device to Nya. Of course, the specific technical details cannot be disclosed:
"The project Mr. Iolum is working on is of great significance. What's more, this project seems to be targeted by Comanso. If it can't be completed before the other party is really sure, maybe the war will be inevitable!"

"war?!"

Niya's eyes widened, full of shock.

In fact, the word war has been no stranger to her since this period of time, and the Austrian and French Federation will have the latest information about the underground drow war every month.

It's just that watching someone else go to war is completely different from being involved in a war, especially when one's own side is very likely to be the victim.

The former may be calm, while the latter is a solid threat!
"Will it be that serious? What are you researching? Myths? Impossible. It's no secret that Netheril obtained the mystical technology from Ilfaran. War would have happened long ago."

Niya couldn't figure it out. Although there was still a gap in power between the two countries, Netheril wasn't powerless to fight back.

Even Cormanthor can't make up his mind about this worst outcome!
"There's no need to guess. If you don't want to be trapped in the Tower of Time from now on, it's best not to know too much, just know what it means."

Of course, Xia Duo speculated about the war himself, but even if there is no all-out war, a battle as intense as a war is probably hard to avoid.

Do you still expect the Cormanthor elves to settle peacefully through table negotiations?

What about the conditions?
Must be very harsh.

Even if the elves were willing, the arcanists would not be willing.

After all, an independent arcane fire device can greatly enhance an arcanist's combat and even war potential, and no arcanist can choose to give up after knowing that there is such a device.

It's just that Xia Duo still can't figure out one thing. Even if the independent Austrian fire device is of great significance, it is not the elf's own technology.

Even the highest magical achievement of elven magic—mysalk related technology was introduced to Netheril without much reaction. Why are you interested in this independent arcane fire device?

No matter how strong Netheril is, can it destroy Cormanthor overnight?

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, even if it can be done, is the Northern Alliance really a display?If Komanso can be destroyed today, other member states may not be destroyed tomorrow.

There are also the four southern countries, which almost affect the whole body.

It is obvious that even if Netheril has a mature and independent Austrian fire device, it cannot dominate alone, let alone eliminate Cormanthor.

It is too abnormal to chase after it like this.

Xia Duo is really hard to understand.

Could it be that the Austrian fire device has some inside story that he doesn't know?
Or was Iolum's crisis instincts wrong?Even the divine enlightenment he got from the mysterious lady was wrong?

Doesn't he know if the former has any inside story?As for the latter, even if Iolum's statement is wrong, since the divine revelation also agrees, it cannot be regarded as completely non-existent.

The problem should be with Cormanthor.

But why?
