Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1462 The light of civilization is extremely effective for longevity
After listening to Iolum's explanation, Xia Duo did feel a little bit withdrawn. In the past, it was impossible for him to rush forward to such a thing.

But if all goes well, the potential benefits contained in this are very amazing, at least they will get the friendship of the Akola Crown King family, as well as the rewards visible to the naked eye from Netheril.

Among them, the most direct one is naturally the life-extending spell. If you want him to cast a spell to prolong the life of the crown king, how can you not give the relevant spells.

Although Shadow believes that even if he doesn't do it, Iolum will still give him the life extension spell if he asks, but he still prefers the latter compared to receiving rewards for no merit and going back and forth.

On the one hand, this is due to Xia Duo’s sense of morality. On the other hand, to a certain extent, it is indeed a rational decision-making, directly seeking benefits. Maybe Iolum would not say anything at the time, but it will also weaken the hard-won relationship. point.

Of course, just the benefits are not enough for Xia Duo to participate in this kind of risky task. What really makes him dare to participate is the current situation in the Northland.

First of all, Akoala's Crown King family. They definitely don't want Akoola to be annexed by Comanso, but want to maintain their rule, even if the current territory has been reduced to only a corner of the Riestal Forest.

Secondly, Netheril, or more precisely, the Seven Towers, certainly does not want Akola to be swallowed up, which means that there will be no buffer between Netheril and Cormanthor in the future.

Taking a step back, future competitors or even enemies will never be what you want to see.

A split Listal forest is a good Listal forest, so that Comanthor will not focus on external expansion. Even the Listal forest cannot be unified, so why expand!
Xia Duo knew more about Cormanthor, and the unification of the Ristal Forest should be said to be the most anxious thing for the crowned king of Cormanthor, which is related to the legitimacy of his rule. (The true king in the prophecy, first unify the Listar forest, and then unify the elf world)

And the rest of the Northland countries, including Yeerlan, which has a good relationship with Comanthor, do not necessarily want to see a unified Riestal Forest.

Only Comanzo is an obstacle, why Xia Duo dare not do this!

As for the conspiracy, it could only be that Akola has been secretly controlled by Comanso, but that is basically unlikely.

Even if this is the case, exposing it just to defraud a great arcanist in Netheril is too worthless, and it can be used at a more critical time.

Xia Duo feels that there is indeed a risk in this, but the risk is only that the future will confront him and Cormanthor on the bright side, but the real world is not black and white.

The logic of the game between countries lies in the benefits and losses. As long as you can bring benefits to Comanso, or make him unable to bear the loss without yourself, it is considered a frontal hostility, and Comanso will try to protect himself as much as possible.

There is no doubt that Xia Duo is capable of doing this, especially in the future, after the rise of the Floating Void City and the power of the Arcanists is greatly expanded, who will look at the elves seriously except for him, Xia?

At that time, perhaps the humans of Netheril hate him even more as a traitor!

From low self-esteem to arrogance, it is often just a thought. Once the emotions that have been suppressed for a long time burst out, even Xia Duo will be powerless to deal with it.

Thanks to the establishment of the Northland Alliance, Netheril has gained the long-awaited status of a great power, and humans have also gained equality with the elves to a certain extent.

It's just that the bearing of a big country is not developed overnight, and how it will develop in the future is really uncertain!

The history of Nether that Xia Duo learned before crossing is simply the nightmare history of non-casters. Whether it is a human or an elf, as long as the arcanist needs it, he can put it on the test bench at any time.

Or you don't even need a purpose, play "Destroy you, what does it have to do with you"!
Of course, Netheril in that period of history was ultimately destroyed by someone's arrogance.

In Xia Duo's view, such a country cannot be called "civilization", and it cannot even be self-sustaining. Why is it called "civilization"?

In that period of history, Cormanthor, although not destroyed by Netheril, was also invaded by it a lot. The direct cause of its final demise was drow and time, but it was also inseparable from Netheril. open relationship.

There is no doubt that Xiaduo is the light of civilization in the future. In addition to being confident that Comanthor will not attack him even if he is hostile, he is also confident that he will become the mainstream within Netheril.

Ordinary people (in a broad sense) still make up the majority in this world, so as long as it can represent the interests of the majority of ordinary people, it will undoubtedly be trusted and protected by the majority of ordinary people.

As long as we adhere to the scientific outlook on development and stick to the correct path, the very small number of "elites" will not be able to make waves at all, and will only drown in the vast ocean of the people's war.

……

After talking with Iolum, Xia Duo got a brand new life extension spell as he wished. Of course, correspondingly, he also needs to take a trip to Akoala at the right time.

In the end, Iolum explained: "The body of an elf is different from that of a human after all. I have listed several feasible alternatives above. I believe you can handle it well."

Xia Duo casually flipped through a thick notebook, nodded, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will make sure everything is safe before I make a move."

Just the moment the page of the note was flipped, Xia Duo caught a glimpse of keywords such as "Elf Heart" on the note, and had some guesses about how Iolum developed this life-extending spell.

Of course, it’s not necessarily a bad guess, it might be a volunteer who voluntarily dedicated himself to the medical cause like in [Projection Plane Remnants of the Empire]!

……

After returning to the residence.

Only then did Xia Duo take out his notes and read it in detail. This spell was named [Extreme Longevity] by Iolum. It is the same as the longevity spell preserved in the Tower of Time, and it is a transformation spell.

But this spell is much more complicated, and Xia Duo can even see the shadow of the Tower of Time's longevity spell from it. Of course, this may be said in reverse——

It should be the shadow of this spell from the life extension spell of the Tower of Time!
Its basic principle is to restore the body to its youthful state and provide a certain constant effect. The lifespan of the soul itself is extremely long, and there is no need to make a fuss about it for the time being.

However, this spell uses a special consumable when casting the spell, which is not mentioned in the Tower of Time's longevity spell.

And this kind of consumable was named [Fountain of Life] by Iolum, and its source was naturally normal life, and the younger the better.
