Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2040 The Arcane camp returns to the territory
After Badigal left, Xia Duo pondered for a long time, and finally had to admit that from the day when the Ascension Ceremony appeared, the Ascension Order may have inevitably begun to form.

It's just a matter of time.

Even if the arcane camp within Netheril gains the upper hand, it will be difficult to change the forces outside Netheril to conduct research on ascension.

Once the arms race starts, it will be difficult to end. The only difference is whether the content of the competition is Ascension God, Floating Void City, or something else.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo's mentality gradually became calmer. Isn't it just competition? Why do you think that the purely arcane field cannot give birth to god-level existences!
Given time, he can become a god-level existence without the so-called ascension ceremony.

However, considering the reality, Xia Duo still contacted Iolum and told him about the inside story of the Seven Towers' plan to publicly ascend to the gods, but Iolum didn't show any meaning to it:
"I had such a premonition before, but I didn't expect them to make such a decision in the end. By the way, Xia Duo, did Badigal mention when it will be made public?"

"Not yet, it should be just an idea now, at least there won't be any action before Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony begins."

"I think so. I'm too sensitive. You are right to reject this matter. Although the Seven Towers have considerations from the Seven Towers, their considerations may not be all correct, and they may not be beneficial to Netheril."

Iolum's words reminded Xia Duo of the scene when the two met last time. At that time, the two talked about the restraining effect of the Ascension Order on the development of civilization, and they both expressed their appreciation for the gradual formation of the Ascension Order. worry.

"Then what is the teacher going to do?" Xia Duo asked.

Then there was a sudden silence over there, and it took a long time before a message came. In the message, Iolum's tone was slightly hesitant, as if he hadn't made up his mind yet:

"I'm considering whether to release Mythra early."

Reveal Mythra in advance?
Xia Duo was shocked immediately, and quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind. Mythra will be revealed sooner or later, or when his floating city appears in the eyes of the world, Mythra's disclosure has already entered the countdown.

Initially, the time he and Iolum had agreed to disclose was after the second generation of Mythra was completed, but the plan often failed to keep up with the changes. First, Xia Duo took out the Floating Void City in advance in order to restrict the demons from changing reality.

Afterwards, the Seven Pagodas had to start a new ascension ceremony in response to abnormal weather conditions, which led to the early germination of the order of ascension to the gods, and even the rapid formation of it.

Revealing Mythra may boost the morale of the Netherese arcane camp, and let all Netherese mages see the potential of the pure arcane field. Today it can be Mythra, but tomorrow it may not be a new god.

But this is not only a positive effect. Leaving aside the influence of the outside world, even within Netheril, will the addition of Mythra be able to hinder the formation of the Ascension Order?
Maybe it will make people take shape faster!
Without Mythra, Xia Duo still has the confidence to rely on the floating city to fight against "the whole world". Once those who intend to build the Ascension Order obtain Mythra, they can follow the template of the floating city to create movable war spells fortress.

Then, even if Xia Duo and Iolum are tied together, they may not be opponents of the Ascension God camp.

This is simply putting a ready-made killer weapon into the hands of the enemy!

Therefore, Xia Duo immediately resolutely expressed his objection to the early disclosure of Mythra, "Teacher, this is absolutely impossible!
"If the Seven Towers also oppose the Order of Ascension, it's okay to disclose it in advance, but the current attitude of the Seven Towers is ambiguous. Revealing Mythra in advance may make them firm in their idea of ​​​​building the Order of Ascension."

What Xiaduo said was another fact. As the actual rulers of Netheril, the Seven Towers are beneficial to them to establish the Ascension Order, but it is not necessary to do so.

After all, there are too many uncertain factors in Ascension God. If they can make a normal breakthrough in the field of arcane magic, then they may still stick to the path of arcane magic.

But the appearance of Mythra will greatly weaken the right to speak of the power of the top individuals. Although Xia Duo does not know what the real trump card of the Seven Towers is to counter the magic weapon of the elves, he speculates that the probability is similar to the magic weapon of the elves.

Although it seems that the equipment wins, in essence it still depends on the top caster.

But the war spells based on Mythra's design are different. It can be said that even if Xia Duo is just a low-level mage, as long as he has the control authority, he can control [Light of Annihilation] to burn "gems" everywhere.

The difference between the top spellcaster's operation and the apprentice's operation lies in some details, such as the accuracy problem, but these follow-up can be solved through technical means.

As long as the "human-computer interaction" and internal "software optimization" are done well, it is not just fantasy, but practical, for apprentices to make judgments and operations that surpass those of top spellcasters.

It can be said that the appearance of Mythra will even change the shape of future wars. Top casters no longer play a decisive role, but more advanced technology and equipment!

In other words, once Mythra is revealed, the original extremely stable dominance of the Seven Towers will begin to shake, and then there are only two paths before the Seven Towers——

One is that maintaining the status quo will allow the Severton Council to become the real power organ of Netheril, but the voice of the Seven Towers will decline rapidly in an unstoppable trend. The more [Mythra-War Spell] outside , the lower its right to speak.

The other is to re-stabilize one's dominance through other means. In addition to Mythra, the existence of "gods" can also greatly change the balance between forces. There is a princess in the Seven Towers who is a pioneer of ascension to the gods. In the arms race, they have already taken a step ahead. As long as they are decisive enough, this advantage is enough for them to grasp a greater advantage.

Thinking in another way, if Xia Duo were the Seven Towers, I'm afraid he would not be reconciled to this decline. There are indeed many uncertain factors in Ascension God, but compared with losing his dominant position, it is not so unacceptable.

……

Regarding Xia Duo's objection, Iolum neither expressed affirmation nor objected, but only said that he would continue to think about it, which made Xia Duo feel a little anxious:

"Teacher, the performance of the Seven Towers in the past is not bad, but as rulers, they are always under great temptation. What we have to do is not to give them opportunities, but to eliminate this possibility as much as possible. Teacher, what do you think?"

"Let me think again!"

Such an answer naturally couldn't satisfy Xia Duo, but he also knew that Iolum had a good relationship with the Seven Towers, and to some extent he was now considered a "close relationship"!

But Mysera has a lot to do with it, and Xia Duo inevitably tried to persuade him a few more times, but Iolum didn't reply, which gave Xia Duo a bad feeling.

……

Next, it's time to return to the territory when needed.

Originally returning to the territory, Xia Duo should have been in a brisk mood, but because Iolum was going to reveal Mythra in advance, this originally easy return journey became a bit heavy.
