Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1470 The Way to Crack the Sacrifice of Parents and Children
In addition, considering that spellcasters who live within the range of the mythos, if the internal and external spellcasting systems are different, if the mythos disappear one day, wouldn't they even have a chance to adapt.

Therefore, the more sophisticated the mythos are, the more similar and harmonious they are to the normal magic net environment, but this does not mean that the functions of the mythos are missing.

On the contrary, this type of fan lock often has more complex and powerful functions.

It's just that there must be traces of any change, and the mythos that Xia Duo is in at the moment is undoubtedly the highest among the mythos he has seen, but some changes similar to "infrastructure" are still difficult to hide.

When he tried several specific elements of the tenth layer of the magic net, the truth immediately surfaced!
These specific elements can be called secret even in the elf society, pointing directly to the foundation of the mythos that is difficult to hide. Once used, it can be found that it is contrary to the magic feedback of the normal magic net environment outside.

According to the difference, Xia Duo can even infer some functions and attributes of Misuo in this area, and he did exactly that!

……

After several attempts, Xia Duo quickly found out the true nature of this aisle scene, borrowing an open excuse cracked in the process of probing, he directly closed the realistic illusion rendered all the time around.

The aisle is still the same aisle, but not far in front is the end of the aisle. There are still these exquisite murals on the walls on both sides, but they are much simpler.

The original starry sky reflected above has become a dome with complicated decoration, which is integrated with the surrounding walls. This is the real aisle scene.

Of course, there is one thing Xia Duo guessed wrong, that is, the elf female officer leading the way is not an illusion, but a real existence.

When the scene suddenly changed just now, he specifically noticed that the elf female officer panicked for a moment. If it was an illusion, he might not be able to perform such a real stress reaction.

Of course, the other party quickly recovered and continued to lead the way calmly.

The aisle after uncovering the illusion was not long, following behind the elf lady officer, Xia Duo soon came to the end of the aisle, which was a relatively simple small reception room.

Of course, the simplicity of the elves has nothing to do with the current humans, although this reception room can be regarded as high-end even if it is placed in Severton.

But for a savior who came to prolong his life, Akola's crowned king's reception was somewhat disrespectful.

Considering the need for secrecy, Xia Duo didn't argue with him too much, otherwise, counting the previous temptation, he would definitely turn his back on the spot.

In the reception room at this time, in addition to the middle-aged elf who was suspected to be the crowned king of Akola, there were two young elves in fancy clothes standing beside them.

One of them, Xia Duo, was no stranger to him. He was Prince Akoala who he had met in Evereska before and represented Akoala in the founding ceremony of the Northland Alliance.

As for the elf female officer brought in earlier, she turned to another exit of the reception room with a graceful figure, and disappeared quickly, without staying here for a long time.

……

"Xia Duo has met King Akola, and I send my greetings to you on behalf of the Sevington Council!"

Xia Duo saluted slightly. Being familiar with elf etiquette, he naturally wouldn't let the elves find any faults, but he also implicitly expressed his dissatisfaction in the frustrating tone of his tone.

This kind of expression may not be understood by most humans who have mastered the Elvish language, but as the spirits of the elves, the three elves in the reception room, especially the object of Xia Duo's speech—the king of Akola, cannot be completely indifferent.

"Lord Xia Duo, please forgive our poor hospitality, it is really a special situation."

While speaking earnestly, Akola left the throne and came to Xiaduo, and solemnly returned the salute, "Please also send my regards to the seven members of the Severton Council!"

After finishing speaking, he returned to the throne, and called Xia Duo to sit down, and continued: "If I knew it was Lord Xia Duo, I should have gone to Evereska in person."

Of course, Xia Duo didn't believe the other party's superficial polite words. If Iolum had gone to Evereska back then, wouldn't he?Doesn't Iolum have a life-extending secret?
"I also regret not being able to meet King Akola as soon as possible. This time, in addition to submitting credentials, I also want to know the secrets at the request of King Mian's second son."

Even if the life extension matter is in the secret room, it is inconvenient to mention it. If this is said carelessly, Akola Crown King will lose face!
The elf just took a bite, and Xia Duo didn't care. In fact, his mission record at the Sevington Council this time was "referring to the secrets".

Let the two sides tacitly agree!
……

After submitting the credentials, King Akoala introduced the other two elves in the reception room to Xia Duo. In addition to the Akoala Prince Foss whom Xia Duo had known for a long time, the identity of the other was not simple——

He is the military advisor and army commander of King Mian. Of course, more importantly, he is also the uncle of King Mian, the high mage Esbylan.

The next step is to formally discuss the matter of life extension. Xia Duo had a premonition in his heart, but when Mian Wang personally said that he would choose the quick solution, he still couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Sure enough, I still chose this one!
"The quick plan requires special casting materials, Mian Wang must have known it in advance, right?"

"I know all about it, but the current state of the country is difficult, and the fate of Akola depends entirely on me. If I choose a more peaceful plan, I'm afraid it will be too late."

When it comes to emotion, Akola Mianwang's eyes are full of tears, and Esbylan beside him also shows a sad emotion.

Prince Foss explained: "It is the parent and son of Esbylan's adviser who voluntarily dedicated himself to the affairs of state this time!"

"..."

Good guy!For a while, Xia Duo couldn't tell whether the three elves were showing their true feelings or acting brilliantly, but in any case, Akola's senior management seemed to have reached a consensus that a young and healthy elf would be sacrificed.

And this victim was the parent and child of a high-ranking mage!

Xia Duo lamented that a small country is not easy, and there is no better way. Once the heart is gone, all body functions will decline rapidly. Even if there are priests who specialize in healing and recovery standing by, it may not be able to save his life.

What's more, this matter is secretive. Most of the priests of the elves' main gods are inclined to Comanthor. Even if a priest with such skills can be found in Akola, I am afraid that the crown king will not dare to use it.

If it had been earlier, Xia Duo might have been able to save the elf's life. He could not resurrect the elf, but it was not difficult to clone an elf's body for the life-extending spell.

It's just that it will take time. If there is enough time, perhaps Akola Crown King will not choose this life extension plan.

Of course, under the current circumstances, that elf might not really die. Maybe there is some secret method on Akoala's side that can cure it or temporarily preserve its vitality.

But in any case, this sacrifice should not have happened.

Although this kind of thing didn't happen to people he was familiar with, but they were also intelligent beings, Xia Duo was deeply touched by this feeling of powerlessness when he was weak.
