Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1980
Therefore, it is not a rare news that someone owns several ancient elf fortresses.

Xia Duo heard too many news about the discovery of ancient fortresses and ancient city ruins in [Projection Plane Evereska Independence]. Among the many news, Adofil was not eye-catching at all.

Because there was no more shocking news after that.

Now it seems that Sluwende should have hidden it on purpose!

Artifacts of War are not found in all strongholds, let alone in large numbers, only those that were also important strongholds of the region during the time of Arivandar.

And it had to happen not to be destroyed during the Crown War, so that it could be found by future generations.

Perhaps no one knew about it in the past, but now it is not difficult to draw a conclusion that there are more than one large strategic fortress in the Arivanda period in the territory of Shruvand.

The so-called "Battle of the Seven Fortresses" may be a war of interests waged by countries such as Sluvand and Yeerlan relying on the seven strategic fortresses left by Arivanda.

The demons might just be an excuse.

It's hard to imagine that with the intensity of the Crown Wars, there are more than one Arivanda strategic fortresses that have not been destroyed.

Now that Xia Duo already knows the accurate information of one of the fortresses, the next time he enters the projection plane, if the timing is just right, he may be able to go there for a "rescue excavation".

This is not much more comfortable than beating life and death on the main plane!
……

"correct!"

Xia Duo suddenly thought of a question, so he quickly asked Naris again, "You just said that 'Adolfel has only recently appeared'. Didn't it exist before?"

"Yes."

Regarding this kind of problem, Naris naturally prepared his remarks in advance, "More than 1000 years ago, after the Battle of the Seven Forts, Adofil disappeared. We thought it was destroyed during the war. Thinking of reappearing now, it's a pity that after more than 1000 years, we have already lost the relevant authority of Adofil, otherwise Ye Erlan would not use it as an excuse to start a war."

"It's a pity." Xia Duo echoed casually.

Of course, he wasn't sorry that Sluvand didn't have the authority to control the fortress, but that he didn't get the news earlier, otherwise he could have explored the situation in advance when projecting the plane.

Maybe we can use this to completely receive that fortress on the main plane!
On this point, Xia Duo actually agrees with Ye Erlan's statement. Naris said that Adofil is a newly rebuilt fortress. Is this really the case?

Intelligent creatures will always defend their positions intentionally or unintentionally. The same fact, from the perspective of the positive side, may be a situation, but from the perspective of the negative side, it may be a completely different situation.

Regardless of whether the fortress was rebuilt or not, it should not belong to the current Shruvand. This is of course unfair, but Xia Duo also has his own position.

There is no doubt that his position is to suppress potential competitors as much as possible under certain rules, or create trouble for competitors, so as to buy more time for his own development.

Even if it is cooperation, it is on the premise of fulfilling the overall situation of one's own side. Without this premise, cooperation is meaningless.

Since Naris himself admitted that the fortress may have a large number of war weapons, it should not be handed over to Shruvand, so as not to encourage its unnecessary ambitions.

This does not conflict with Xia Duo's idea of ​​seeking common ground while reserving differences. One is an idea and the other is reality.

Xia Duo or Netheril, and Yeerlan are more of a conflict of interests, but it is a battle of ideas with Sruvande. As long as Sruvande is given a chance, he will almost certainly become an enemy in the future.

Under such circumstances, how could Xia Duo be polite to them? Naturally, he could suppress them as much as he could.If it wasn't for the fear that the demon would change history, he wouldn't have thought about saving the other party.

……

Suddenly, Xia Duo thought that the opportunity he had been looking for since he entered the territory of Shruvand would probably fall on the Adolfel Fortress.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo proposed to Naris that he wanted to visit the Adolfel Fortress. Naris agreed without even contacting the higher-ups:

"Currently Adofil is not under our control. We can only go to a nearby city first, and then go there by magic ship."

"Magic ship? Fortress Adofil is built by the water?" Xia Duo asked curiously.

"No, it's a magic ship that flies in the sky!"

At this time, Naris said proudly: "I heard that Netheril has recently developed a new transportation method called 'airship', and Sruvand naturally has a similar method."

"Really?"

At this moment, Xia Duo couldn't help wondering whether the other party knew that Netheril's airship idea was originally proposed by him, so he showed off like this.

And when he passed through the portal again and saw the magic ship that Naris said on the outskirts of a small city, he was sure again that the other party was showing off.

This magic ship is clearly a ship sailing on the surface of the water, and it is forcibly endowed with the ability to float in the air. In essence, it is no different from the more common flying carpets and frisbees.

With the Floating Void City in his hand, Xia Duo even felt that it was a bit of a shame to board such a crude aircraft, but he still boarded the ship. On the one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to observe the design ideas of the magic ship on the other hand. .

Leaving aside the clumsy, crude, and additionally blocked floating spells, this magical ship with a length of more than 100 meters is still very worth seeing.

Sluvand is not a country that relies on the sea. Except for a few sections of the river, such a large ship can be used, and more, I am afraid it is because of the Arivanda style that cannot be imitated at home!
A brilliant magic item itself contains brilliant spell design and even magic principles. The Nether magic system is not as mature as the elf magic system.

The current Nether magic system is still a new magic system that needs to be continuously developed and improved, but it is so difficult to develop. If there are other systems for reference, it can save a lot of trouble.

There is already a system framework, and there is no need to worry about being too affected by other systems, resulting in the loss of its own characteristics.

……

On the magic ship.

Xia Duo walked around and observed, and the guide Naris still insisted on his mission, followed by Xia Duo, and introduced every detail of the magic ship to Xia Duo, showing a proud look from time to time in his words.

"Lord Xiaduo, these are water-blocking tanks, and the water-blocking spell is permanently fixed inside, so that even if the ship encounters an accident, it can also ensure that it floats on the water."

"Mmm, yes." Xia Duo nodded again and again, and then pocketed the so-called "water blocking spell".

Similar situations happened in every corner of the magic ship, but in the end Xia Duo also came to his senses, and Sluvand should have deliberately shown his favor to him.

Otherwise, no matter how much Naris wants to show off, it is impossible for him to go to every corner of the magic ship to observe wantonly, not only not to stop him, but even to provide thoughtful explanations.

But it's a pity that the sugar-coated cannonball Xia Duo will only accept the sugar-coating, not the cannonball.

……

Soon, the staff on the magic ship reminded Adofil to arrive.

And Xia Duo had already projected his perception to the outside of the hull, flying and observing all the way, when the magic ship stopped, he was really a little confused, because he didn't see any trace of the fortress.

There is only a small undeveloped forest and a few temporary buildings on the edge of the forest.

"This is Adofil Fortress?"

With doubts, Xia Duo came to the ground, but what he didn't expect was that he saw a group of unexpected elves here.
