Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1742 Meeting Cross Spiritual Closure Blade

In a short period of time, Niya has not been able to actually participate in the design of the floating city fan lock, but Xia Duo can see her hard work and her learning progress that is quickly catching up.

If nothing else happens, Niya will definitely be able to participate effectively before he completes all the designs of the mythos.

……

Three days later, Sevington.

Suddenly out of the teleportation area of ​​the headquarters of the Arcane Union, a tall spellcaster with a blurry face wearing a crimson robe, a star belt, a scepter, and five stars on his head.

This is Xia Duo who has just been teleported from the Tower of Time. The reason why he came here early is to see the agenda of tomorrow's meeting. Of course, this reason is the same for everyone.

But for Xia Duo, there was another reason - Iolum informed him that he had found a method to divide the ectoplasmic core!
Leaving the teleportation area, Xia Duo walked around the bazaar and the library with ease, and came to the innermost administrative office area, where Iolum's office and study in the Alpha Federation is located.

……

As soon as he got outside the study, Xia Duo heard a faint quarrel coming from inside, and he stopped subconsciously. At this moment, Iolum's voice reached his ears——

"Come in!"

Xia Duo thought for a while, opened the door and walked in, and saw a middle-aged mage with a gloomy face walking towards the door quickly.

When the two parties passed by, the man's face turned pale, and he nodded to Xia Duo, who also nodded slightly in greeting, and walked towards Iolum.

As the door closed behind him, a hint of doubt appeared on Xia Duo's face, and he asked Iolum, "Teacher, what is Cross doing here?"

That person was Cross just now, Xia Duo had only met him once before, but this time he saw him again in the teacher's study room, he almost didn't remember it.

However, Cross dared to quarrel with Iolum, but when he saw him, he still pretended to be demeanor, pretending to be nothing. He really bullied Iolum and became the president of the Austrian Law Federation, so he wouldn't beat him!

And at this time, Iolum's answer also arrived: "He—he wants me to remove a few topics for tomorrow, hehe, the young man has a bit of a temper."

"What issue? Is it mine?"

"It's not yours. It's probably the Seven Towers who made a move. Several territories in the west of the Verdant Tower Alliance joined forces to protest Cross's malicious interference in their territory's internal affairs."

"This--"

Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this something that the Severton Council should manage? How did it get discussed by the Austrian Federation?"

"Yeah, Cross said the same just now."

There was a clear smile in Iolum's eyes, and he didn't seem to care about Cross's quarrel at all, "Only in terms of the nature of the incident, it really should be under the jurisdiction of the Severton Council!
"But you also know that most Nether lords are spellcasters, and they all have their own mage towers. It is reasonable to protest at the Grand Arcanist Joint Conference in the name of the mage tower organization."

Of course, what Iolum didn't say was that if a general lord does not have the support of a grand arcanist, there is a high probability that they will not confront another grand arcanist, especially in such an obvious and open confrontation like now.

"Forget about him, you probably came here to ask how to divide the spirit core!"

Saying so, Iolum walked behind the desk, took a jade knife with a warm color from the shelf, handed it to Xia Duo, and said:

"That's it!"

Xia Duo took the knife, and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity as soon as he started it. There is no doubt that this is a spiritual weapon, and it is far more powerful than the few he bought from Evereska before. .

"Teacher, this is—"

"The spiritual closure blade is said to be custom-made from Zamdas in the south. I have tried it and it can indeed be used to cut the spiritual core."

After finishing speaking, Iolum took out a total of six spiritual cores in the shape of multi-faceted crystal beads in two large and four small sizes from the dimensional bag, "Try it."

"Ah."

Xia Duo took over the six psychic cores from Iolum, but did not choose to cut them, but put them away, and took out a complete psychic core that was bigger than the six.

Xia Duo held the knife in one hand and the spiritual core in the other, but what he didn't expect was that when he approached the warm-colored [Spiritual Closure Blade], the spiritual core immediately emitted a strong magical aura.

No, perhaps "spiritual brilliance" would be more appropriate.

When the light bloomed, Xia Duo felt light in his hand, and at the same time, the jade knife in his other hand fell onto his palm almost without hindrance.

The next moment, the light in the palm converged, and two multi-faceted crystal beads that were one size smaller than before appeared. At the same time, Xia Duo felt the gravity of the spiritual core again.

It's light, but it's there, and it did disappear before.

"See something?" Iolam asked.

Xia Duo shook his head silently, and cut again, just like before, although he noticed the reaction of the magic net around him, but it was not any element he was familiar with.

And based on his current magic attainments, it can be completely judged that these elements have almost no practical significance. If they are used forcibly, they may only pull out a few turbulent streams of elements.

However, Xia Duo was not surprised by this result.

He didn't even understand the psionic artifacts that were closer to toys that he bought before. This obviously more powerful and possibly more perfect [Spiritual Closure Blade] is obviously more difficult to understand.

"Spiritual energy is really mysterious!" Xia Duo couldn't help sighing.

"It's indeed mysterious, but it's too idealistic. Arcanists like us need knowledge that can be understood and verified repeatedly. Psionic power is not suitable for us. You can decide the importance of this aspect yourself!"

"Don't worry, teacher, I have never thought that psionic power is magic. Regarding psionic power, my opinion is that it's fine if it can be used by me occasionally, and there is no need to delve too deeply into it. Of course——"

Xia Duo has always been interested in the unknown. From the current point of view, psionic energy is obviously a kind of unknown. "If one day we really run out of magic, psionic energy may open up a new field for us."

"Perhaps, if magic can be exhausted, then magic is not real magic!"

After Iolum finished speaking, he changed the subject in a catchy manner. Of course, Xia Duo didn't want to go deeper on this topic. In the end, this topic may be a dispute of ideas.

And he and Iolum should not have an ideological dispute, at least not yet. The so-called truth is getting clearer and clearer, and the same is true for thoughts. Difficult to bridge.

It's better to stop here, it's rare to be confused!
……

"Teacher, do you think tomorrow will go well?"

"Of course, I'm absolutely sure of that!"
