Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1464 Vassal Treaty Astral Projection
"Xia Duo, you really surprised me!"

After the unrelated people walked away, the expression on Brod's face became extremely exaggerated again, "Do you know how surprised I was when I learned from the teacher that you are already a grand arcanist!

"You're too low-key. You know, when I became a Grand Arcanist, I immediately notified the Severton Council and the Arcane Federation. That feeling is really great!"

"I'm not you~" Xia Duo replied lightly.

From the moment he agreed to accept Iolum's recommendation and go to Akoala to prolong the life of the king of Akoala, it meant that he gave up continuing to hide his identity.

Iolum may hide it from outsiders, but he should not continue to hide it from Brod and others who are in contact with him every day.

It's just that apart from Brod, no one else is a grand arcanist, otherwise Brod wouldn't be the only one here.

"Okay, I've read it, you can go and do your work, and tell the teacher, I won't go to the lunch meeting, don't wait for me, I have to hurry up here."

In fact, apart from rushing to work, Xia Duo didn't want to be the object of Luo Wei's onlookers. He was originally a companion with similar identities, but now his identities are suddenly separated.

I really don't know what Luo Wei and the others will think. Anyway, Xia Duo is not a person who likes to show off, so it is a good choice to give a few days of buffer.

……

Brod came and went quickly. After he left, Xia Duo continued to invest in the partial test of the Austrian fire device.

In this way, ten days later, the local test experiment of the Austrian fire device was basically coming to an end, in which Xia Duo played an important role.

In addition to completing the test tasks that originally belonged to him ahead of schedule, he also shared a lot of tasks for Broad, Lowe and others.

That is, on this day, during the lunch meeting at noon.

There were still normal meals and exchanges ahead, but at the end, Xia Duo was left alone by Iolum, and he immediately realized that the Seven Towers probably had confidence.

Sure enough, after the two came to the study, Iolum did not hide it, and directly stated the final result of the Akoala envoy's request for help—

"The Seven Towers have decided to save Akola Crown King, and they also agreed to my recommendation. You will go to Akola on behalf of Netheril in two days."

"Two days? So soon?"

Xia Duo originally thought that this matter might drag on for more than half a year, but he didn't expect it to be so urgent. It seems that Akola's crowned king should not have much time, but he doesn't know which life extension plan he will choose?

"I also feel a little anxious, but Akoala has been pushing hard. In addition to the mutual defense agreement, they even signed a concerted action agreement that is closer to unilateral. For this reason, the Seven Towers also had to show More sincerity."

After listening to Iolum's explanation, Xia Duo was very surprised. When did elves want to become vassals of humans? !
The so-called unilateral action of will agreement, in short, means that whatever Netheril does, Akoala will follow behind, including war.

This is almost a vassal treaty, has Akola fallen so far?

"Teacher, do you think Akoala is cheating?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Of course, the important agreement between the two countries cannot be signed hastily. The Seven Towers have already verified it."

Regarding the authenticity of the agreement, Iolum still has a great say, and he personally participated in the verification process. In addition——

"This time you are going to Akola, you are not going there in person, so don't worry too much, just treat it as a relaxing trip, you haven't rested during this time."

Xia Duo actually doesn’t care whether he needs a relaxing trip. The tradition in his hometown is “hardship comes first, pleasure comes later.” The independent Olympic fire device is of great importance, and it doesn’t matter if he works a little harder.

At this moment, his focus was still on the "going without the real body" mentioned by Iolum, so he hurriedly asked: "If it is not the real body, can only the projection or the perception field be able to cast such a complicated spell?"

Xia Duo can already cast spells remotely with a simple projection and perception field, but the perception field cannot carry all the will of the caster, so it cannot cast overly complicated spells.

The [Extremely Effective Longevity Technique] given by Iolum is even the simplest "elven heart version", and its casting difficulty is not low. Xia Duo has no confidence in casting spells remotely.

Furthermore, the entire territory of Akola is covered by mythos, and whether the perception field can penetrate normally is also a problem. Even if the elves grant him the permission of mythos, there will be a lot of actual interference.

Xia Duo was already prepared to go there himself, and he still dared to take this risk, but he didn't expect that Iolum would say that he didn't need to go there in person, which made him curious.

He even immediately thought of Gilles Tower's special astral projection spell, which can create an astral body in the astral world that is the same as the main body, and also has the ability to cast spells on the main body.

If the astral body can be brought to the main plane, perhaps real remote spellcasting can be realized.

To Xia Duo's question, Iolum's answer was——

"The Tower of Gilles will provide celestial projections, which are consistent with the main body, and it is difficult to be detected, and it will not affect the normal casting of spells. As long as it is not killed by a few special spells, even if it dies, it will not affect the main body.

"In fact, in these years of snowmelt competitions, all the contestants on Netheril's side participated in astral bodies. Otherwise, a group of elite spellcasters would die every year, and no matter how much potential they had, they would be exhausted. up.

"This time, the Tower of Gilles directly provides spells to you, instead of just providing an astral body. Originally, Schom was a little reluctant. It was Horn and Badigal who insisted on it, so he let go."

It really is an astral projection!
It's just that Xia Duo didn't expect that all the participants in the previous snowmelt competition used astral bodies to participate, so those who died in the arena in front of the public didn't die either?

It's no wonder that most of the previous snowmelt competitions were attended by members of the Seven Towers. The Seven Towers really had a good idea. Those who can participate in the snowmelt competitions are at least Arcanists, and they can be regarded as elites.

If you send them to participate in the competition, you will accumulate experience if you survive. If you die, you are not really dead. Maybe it will be more effective to hide behind the scenes.

And those contestants sent by other forces, if they died on the field, might also be absorbed by the Seven Towers!

What a lucrative business!

For a while, Xia Duo began to calculate who died in the previous snowmelt competitions. According to the talents of those people, the probability of becoming a great arcanist before the age of four or fifty is very high.

If we count forward ten or twenty years, at least one great arcanist will definitely be born among those dead.

That is to say, apart from the Seven Towers family and one great arcanist on the bright side, each family hides at least one, or even more.

Sure enough, Grand Arcanists are college students. Even if they are all self-taught without systematic and perfect education, with such a large population, there must be more than a dozen college students.
