Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1638 Key gift
If Xia Duo was the master of the Seven Towers, he would undoubtedly do this!
It's just that the interior of the Seven Towers is almost a small Netheril. Not to mention the mountains, at least they all have their own demands.

Not to mention that the tradition of territorial independence has lasted for nearly a thousand years, and it may not be so easy to change it once.

At this moment, Xia Duo even wondered if Cross might be a pawn pushed out by the Seven Towers!
The Seven Towers knew that there was a lot of resistance in launching reforms from top to bottom in the name of the Severton Council, so they asked Cross to gather power step by step from bottom to top.

The Verdant Tower Alliance and the Severton Alliance are also alliances. When the Verdant Tower Alliance covers the entire Netheril, isn't it the Severton Alliance with a different name?
But also more centralized and more powerful.

The more Xia Duo thought about it, the more likely it was. After all, the organizational capabilities of the collective system far surpassed the current form of territorial alliances. In order to cope with the competition within the Northern Alliance, the Seven Towers had every reason to do such a thing.

But if that were the case, Xia Duo's magic civilization plan would probably come to naught, but not completely. He could also implement his plan within the new Severton Alliance system.

It's just that in that case, it is inevitable to negotiate with other great arcanists. How can it be so happy to decide everything by yourself now!
Although Xia Duo does not pursue one-word teaching, there is still an essential difference between being able to speak one's words and whether one is one.

Sometimes what is correct may not be accepted by more people. After all, most of the time, the position comes first, not my camp. Even if you know what you are right, you have to forcibly distort it.

There is no doubt that Xia Duo and the Seven Towers do not belong to the same camp, at least not on the exact same path, as long as there are differences, there will be obstacles.

In a system dominated by the other party, such differences are almost tantamount to a dead end, and it is difficult to seek common ground while reserving differences.

For a moment, Xia Duo hesitated.

If he sticks to his own path, it may be beneficial in the long run, but in the short term, Netheril may lose in the internal competition of the Northland Alliance. Netheril's collapse will not do him any good.

And if he chooses to go along with the Seven Towers, then his plan may not be realized for a long time.

How to choose?
……

At this time, on the blue and white star podium in the center of the venue, Anda Tlaib was still talking, and looked at Xia Duo from time to time, as if asking for opinions.

Xia Duo responded occasionally, but he couldn't make up his mind. On the issue of choosing the road to civilization, a mere exchange meeting seemed secondary.

"The key is to land on the floating city!" Xia Duo sighed silently in his heart.

As long as the floating city can achieve the desired effect, many problems will not be a problem, but now his floating city is still missing the most important link——

Strategically important war spells.

Although strictly speaking, he hasn't even fully built the floating city, but as long as there is a [Mythra] device, there is room for war spells.

"I hope that the teacher will give me some help to research the war spells that are suitable for Mythra's device as soon as possible!"

As for right now, the Floating Void City still needs to be completed first. At that time, as long as the war spells are in place, it will immediately become a decisive force for Netheril and even the entire Northland.

……

After Anda Tlaib finished speaking, Xia Duo gave comments as usual, and he thought he still had some insights in mind spells.

In addition to commenting on what Anda Tlaib said, he also extended a new direction, that is, the concept of subconscious and conscious.

In Netheril, some psychic spells act on the conscious mind, such as interrogation and mantra, and some affect the subconscious mind, such as mind curses.

However, there is no clear distinction between subconscious and superficial consciousness, and more directly use the collective terms of "mind" and "consciousness". Xia Duo proposed the concept of "subconscious and superficial consciousness", which may trigger a new round of research on psychic magic upsurge.

And this, for Xia Duo, is also very beneficial.

He has always held high expectations for the research on "integrated subconscious and superficial consciousness", but progress is slow, that is to say, he has the bloodline ability of tracing memory and can accurately distinguish between subconscious and superficial consciousness.

Otherwise, he would think that this road is completely unfeasible and want to give up.

Proposing the concept of "subconscious and superficial consciousness" is just a concept, and other people's research can save him a lot of time.

……

After Anda Tlaib, Xiaduo's comments will also lead to some novel viewpoints, of course, mainly those he is interested in and plans to study.

It's impossible for him to do everything by himself. Although he can't get all these people into the Tower of Time, as long as he communicates a few times, it's better than thinking alone or waiting for the Tower of Time's high-level mage to grow up and then study. much.

Yes, Xia Duo is already planning to come to Sevington to hold exchange meetings regularly.

In addition to the purpose of absorbing the essence of the wisdom of the inland mages, there is also the purpose of further improving his own influence, and his next plan needs to use such influence!
……

Finally, the time came late at night again, and the exchange meeting was coming to an end.

Xia Duo walked to the blue and white star podium in the center of the venue, and everyone's eyes also focused on him. Xia Duo coughed lightly and said calmly:

"This exchange will surprise me. From you, I can see the future of Netheril. For this reason, I have specially prepared some small gifts for you. Among them, those who perform well will have extra surprises!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo controlled the portable space to completely overlap with the venue here. In an instant, a book appeared in front of everyone in the venue, and a few people even had an extra box.

Everyone was dumbfounded watching this scene. Some people guessed something, but more people just marveled at the mighty power of the great arcanist.

And among those who guessed something, some of them had some knowledge of the plane domain, and they knew more about the difficulties behind the scene where countless gifts appeared out of thin air corresponding to each caster.

After everyone received the gifts, Xia Duo separated the portable space from the venue, and then left the venue.

After Xia Duo left, all the people present flipped through the books and opened the boxes, followed by bursts of exclamations.

The book, like everyone else, is the "Book of Agriculture" carefully prepared by Xia Duo; inside the box are magic items, including five high-level magic items and ten ordinary magic items.

There is none of the high-quality goods. After all, Xia Duo still expects to use this to make money, how can he give it away so easily.

……

Soon, after the venue became quieter, Belleira came to the stage to give a concluding speech, and then everyone began to leave, and the exchange meeting officially ended.

But Belleira didn't leave, and several people stayed behind.

After the people from the Mystery Temple came to inspect the venue and the handover was completed, Belleira brought these people to the nearby lounge.

Lord Xiaduo is waiting for them here!
