Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1816 War Preparations
Almost at the same time, the capital city of Erlan, the tree city Taivimansa.

Ambassador Verin left the Crown Prince's court with a face full of anger, and even knocked down two passers-by. slowly disappear.

Afterwards, the communication was connected, and the figures of the advisers from Ailenthal appeared beside the ambassador. The ambassador saluted and said calmly:
"It's the fifth time that King Helian has refused to see me just now. Obviously he knows what I'm looking for him for. Keeping away from him can only show that they are guilty. Even if the Spine of the World was not planned by them, it must be Can’t get away from them.”

The advisers were not surprised to hear the news. After all, as early as the beginning of the change, the ruling advisory group had already reached a conclusion, and they almost locked Ye Erlan.

Now it is just to push up the suspicion a little bit more, and it will not change Ilfaran's decision.

Only one of the ruling advisers in charge of foreign affairs spoke and asked Welling, "What else?"

"And then there's the recent vibe in Tavimansa."

Wellin hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak, because he knew that his answer might affect the judgment of the higher-ups, and he was not very sure about his conclusion. If he made a wrong judgment, it might have far-reaching and negative consequences. .

It seemed that he could see Wei Lin's worries, or just now the ruling adviser in charge of foreign affairs said, "Don't have any doubts, we will repeatedly study and judge any situation you mentioned, just say it."

"Yes, my lord."

Wei Lin felt relieved, bowed again, and then began to talk about what he had seen in the past few days:

"Recently, the atmosphere in Tavimansa has become a little tense. Many workshops with military qualifications have begun to rush to work. It seems that they have received large orders, and I also heard a rumor."

"What rumor?"

"A senior family member got drunk at the banquet and said that the diehards in Shruvand would not be around for long. Combining the attitude of King Helien and the recent movement of Tavimansa, I It is suspected that Ye'erlan is preparing for war, perhaps for the ancient fortress, perhaps for the complete settlement of Sluvand."

In the end, Wei Lin himself was a little startled. He knew that the kingdoms of the Northland elves were preparing to compete for the newly discovered ancient fortress. There might be some conflicts, but this was still far from war.

However, Ye'erlan's various actions could hardly prevent him from having suspicions of war.

On the other side of the communication, Elinthal's governing advisers rarely showed a look of surprise after hearing Wein's speculation.

One of the governing advisers in charge of the war let out a cold snort, "It seems that they have planned it long ago!"

In front of Wei Lin, the other advisers did not refute, and of course they did not express their support. It was the ruling adviser in charge of foreign affairs who spoke:

"Master Weilin, you have done a good job. Next, pay attention to collecting more information on this aspect, and at the same time, pay attention to keep in touch with Alin Tarr, pay attention to safety, goodbye!"

"Yes, Mr. Advisor, goodbye!"

Wei Lin saluted again, and then terminated the communication. When the picture on Alintar's side completely disappeared, he sat back in his seat again, and fell into deep contemplation.

……

At the same time, Hilda Lanna, who returned to Tavimansa, was crying about how to test the attitude of King Helian towards the demon-born elves and the mysterious organization, but there was no change in the atmosphere of Tavimansa recently. Pay attention.

On the other side, Alicante, the senior mage of Cormanthor and the uncle of Prince Serre, finally broke through many obstacles and discovered the traces of Nether magic at the scene where the prince disappeared in the arena of courage in Asker.

Although those traces are not even circumstantial evidence, the prince has a lot to do with it, and this suspicion is enough for Alicante to act.

Almost as soon as he found the traces, he submitted an entry application to the Severton Council through the Cormanthor embassy. At the same time, he did not forget to ask his subordinates to continue the investigation.

If there are traces of Nether magic, there must be a relevant caster. Finding the caster is the most direct evidence. Before that, if the problem can be solved only by applying pressure, Alicante is also happy to save trouble .

……

The situation in the Northland is turbulent, but for Xia Duo at this moment, he doesn't take the turmoil from the outside world on his mind. He is very clear that he can't really control the situation in the Northland now.

Compared to how to rack one's brains to stir up wind and rain in the next changing situation, it is better to seize the time to strengthen oneself. Without strength, everything is empty.

As for how to increase his own strength, Xia Duo immediately ruled out individual strength, and now he has almost reached the ceiling strength in the Nether magic system.

As long as the magic system itself does not make a breakthrough, or find the legendary artifact, otherwise it will be difficult to make any qualitative changes in individual strength.

Even if there is, the strength of the individual is still too small, and it is difficult to say that it can compete with the general trend.

But the Floating Void City is different. Once it is built to be close to an artifact, it may be difficult to compete with the general trend, but it feels that it can dominate its own destiny.

But now, except for the construction itself, Xia Duo's construction of the floating city is almost only missing a link of Misuo, and the floating city of Misuo is difficult for him now, but it is by no means impossible to complete.

In other words, the only thing he lacked was time—time to complete the design of the mythal, and time to actually build it.

Since the latter has to be done on the material plane, unless the time flow rate is adjusted, it can only be done in terms of manpower and overall planning to improve efficiency.

But the fan lock design does not necessarily require the resources of the material plane. There is no doubt that Xia Duo once again brought his idea to the place where he started——

Projection plane!

Nether mages don't like to explore the projection plane. On the one hand, the projection is random, and it is difficult to follow intelligent creatures, let alone contact with magic.

On the other hand, the projection plane is extremely fast compared to the main plane, which is equivalent to compressing the future time. If you can gain something, then it doesn't matter. If you don't gain anything, it is a pure waste of life.

But for Xia Duo, these two deficiencies are not a problem.

Random question, he has projected many times and has never been accompanied by non-intelligent creatures. Although he does not guarantee that it will be the same in the future, at least it can give him a certain amount of confidence now before accidents happen.

As for the speed of time, Xia Duo has almost reached the top of his own bloodline after awakening his bloodline many times, and his lifespan is not a problem at all.

At least one or two longer-term explorations of the projected plane are no pressure for him.

People and equipment are not a problem. The only problem now is the projection plane. Although the Tower of Time is cultivating astral mages, it takes time for astral mages to grow.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it takes almost a month for the Tower of Time to discover a projection plane. Even if Xia Duo personally participates in the discovery, it is difficult to make any qualitative improvement.

More depends on luck.

So now Xia Duo is building the floating city on the blue crystal plane, while waiting for the news from the tower spirit. At the same time, he has also set a bottom line for himself. , then he will go to the Austrian Law Federation.

At most, I will trouble Iolum again, asking him to protect himself during the weak time when he returned from the projection plane.

Of course, if possible, Xia Duo still hopes to do it in the Tower of Time.
