Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1701 Meet La Ryan Again

"Oops, forgot to say my name!"

The human mage looked annoyed at the place where Xia Duo disappeared, but when he saw the new book floating in front of him, a happy smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, a fellow elf beside him stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Pamir, who is he? You seem to especially - especially admire him?"

"That's a legendary lord from the southern border of Netheril. Oh, I tell you that you don't understand!"

"How can I understand if you don't tell me?"

The elves also like to listen to gossip, especially these portal guards. Apart from chatting with their companions all day long, or occasionally reading a book, they are actually quite boring.

At this moment, I finally heard something different, so I couldn't help asking.

Except for the elf guard who spoke first, the other elves really pricked up their ears, ready to listen to Pamir's story.

"Lord Xia Duo, this starts with the snowmelt competition two years ago. By the way, you know about the snowmelt competition, right?"

"Know, know."

"Remember when—"

……

Just when Pamir, the mage of the Seven Towers, introduced Xia Duo's "brilliant deeds" to his two elf companions, Xia Duo himself had quietly arrived at Yunding Mountain.

This is known as the "Upper Town of Upper Evereska", but from the surface, it still retains a primitive forest scenery.

Only from the mountainside area down, there are private manors one after another, and the density becomes denser as they go down, until the foot of the mountain goes south to form a so-called "upper city".

But in Xiaduo's eyes, the area where Evereska's mystics are most tightly blocked is here. Even if he got the upper-level mystical authority from Badigal, he is still restricted here.

Fortunately, he came this time, although he had his own purpose and a mission, but he didn't come to start a war at all, and his teleportation had already been notified in advance.

When he arrived at the mountainside trail, there was already a slim elf waiting for him here.

"Lord Xia Duo, long time no see, I didn't expect to meet again like this!"

Luna Xis stretched out a hand with a complicated expression, as a gesture of invitation: "This way please, grandpa is waiting for you at home!"

"Then please trouble Ms. Luna Hiss." Xia Duo nodded calmly.

For him, Lunasis is just a medium for him to get in touch with the Evereska Jinfeng family. Even if he didn't meet Lunasis at the beginning, there will be other elves, it's nothing more than a change of family.

Of course, there are certain coincidences in this, for example, that Elder Larian is actually from the Jinfeng family, and is also the grandfather of Lunasis.

But even if there is no such coincidence, for Xia Duo, it is just a little extra effort, and he will definitely not see only one Elder Evereska this time.

……

From the Shining Trail of Yunding Mountain to the Jinfeng family's manor, Xia Duo noticed that Luna Xis quietly lifted the six security guards.

However, Xia Duo looked as usual. Although the superior authority of the fan lock that Badigal gave him could not let him do whatever he wanted in Evereska, it was no problem to come and go freely.

Entering the manor, Xia Duo noticed that the members of the Jinfeng family seemed to be a little unhappy. I don't know if it was because they were forcibly bet by Ambassador Cormanthor not long ago, or because they met him, the envoy of Nether.

A weak country has no diplomacy, Xia Duo secretly reminded himself.

Soon, he saw the middle-aged Elder Larian in a garden, and Xia Duo immediately realized that there was still a difference between Elder Evereska and Elder Elf Court.

This Elder Larian is probably already a high-level mage, but his life is definitely not over, which means that he can do whatever he wants.

Xia Duo was not worried that Larian would attack him, but was shocked by the strength of such a small country as Evereska.

There are only seven members of the Evereska Council of Elders, but this is not the point. The key point is that in addition to an advisory group that does not limit magical attainments, there is also a Council of High Mages under the Council of Elders.

Since the latter has this name, there is no doubt that it represents a strong strength.

According to Xia Duo's understanding, the number of members of this high mage council is at least double digits, although it is not known how many of them are true elders who have come to the end of their lives and hang their last breath.

But even if there were only ten of them, and these ten were true elders with only one breath left, Everest Kaming's strength on the surface was not weaker than that of Netheril.

The final blow of ten dying high-ranking mages must be earth-shattering. If it is one-on-one, no great arcanist can beat it.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel jealous. The race of elves is really blessed. As long as you become a high-level mage, you don't need additional means of prolonging your life. As long as you want to live, you can basically hold your last breath.

And if you want to use the life extension spell, the effect on elves is much better than that on humans.

Xia Duo thought about the result of prolonging the lifespan of Akola Crown King before. The [Extreme Longevity Technique] itself was researched for human beings, but it can only prolong the lifespan of more than ten years when used on human beings at a time.

As for Akola Crown King, his lifespan was extended by nearly a hundred years at one time.

God is so unfair!
At least Xia Duo has not found any congenital deficiencies in elves compared to humans so far. It seems that the idleness and low birth rate are more due to social factors.

The drow in the Underdark are of the same origin as the surface elves, and their fertility rate is much higher than that of humans. If drow can do it, so can elves.

Therefore, Xia Duocai has always regarded the elves as the biggest competitor in the development of human civilization.

Without him, the racial advantage of the elves is too strong, so strong that humans can't make up for it!

……

Gathering his mind, Xia Duo stepped forward to give a slight salute, and said solemnly: "Elder Larian, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Lord Xia Duo is honored to meet you!"

When they met for the first time, both parties looked at each other undisguisedly. For Larian, he was just humiliated by Ambassador Cormanthor, and now he was very unhappy to see the Envoy of Nether.

It was not difficult for him to imagine the reason for the sudden arrival of the Nether envoy. Although he was very depressed, no matter whether it was self-cultivation or the city government, he was unable to express these emotions.

After his granddaughter left, Larian felt a little more relaxed: "Lord Xiaduo——"

"Elder Larian! Do you know that your previous behavior almost brought Evereska to a dead end!"

Xia Duo didn't intend to listen to Larian's explanation at all. Now his identity is the envoy of Nether, even though Evereska is not weak, and the elder Larian in front of him is still similar to the leader of a country, but——

Netheril can become one of the five major countries of the Northern Alliance, and it must have hidden strengths that can touch Cormanthor and other major countries.
