Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2195 Goodbye Vader
After returning from Evereska, Xiaduo also received confirmation from Iolum that the Seven Towers did have a plan to build a floating city equipped with war spells, and it is very likely that it has already been implemented.

After receiving such news, Xia Duo had mixed feelings in his heart. The signing of the limited war treaty is indeed conducive to the stability of the North, but people's ambitions and desires are always endless.

If it is used for development, it is undoubtedly a good thing, but if it is used for the conquest of the outside world, it is hard to say that it is not a regrettable disaster.

In addition, the construction of the floating city on the Seven Towers is not necessarily to deter the outside world, but may also be used to unify the disputes within Netheril, such as whether to agree with the Ascension Order.

This is all the more worrying.

Therefore, when returning from Evereska, Xia Duo did not return to the territory immediately, but went to meet Cliff, Magna, and Vader who was most opposed to the Ascension Order.

The reason why he didn't go to see Iolum, on the one hand, was because he already knew enough about Iolum. The two people who should be said had communicated with each other a long time ago, and they could still contact each other at any time.

On the other hand, it is because of Iolum's own position. Although his cheap teacher is against the Ascension Order, which can easily lead to the rigidity and death of magic civilization, he does not oppose the rule of the Seven Towers.

In other words, Iolum himself is the defender of the Seven Towers system.

However, what Xiaduo and Vader discussed did not rule out the point of breaking away from Netheril and doing it alone. This alone may cause Iolum's dissatisfaction, and even change his attitude towards the Ascension Order.

Of course, there may be other possibilities, but Iolum and the Seven Towers are too close. In order to avoid too embarrassing the next teacher-student meeting, it is naturally necessary for Xia Duo to actively avoid some potential risks.

……

Tower of Wisdom.

Regarding Xia Duo's sudden visit, Vader was quite enthusiastic, but Xia Duo still has certain negative emotions towards Vader, but these emotions will not affect his judgment and choice.

Therefore, for Vader's warm reception, Xia Duo did not give the same enthusiastic response, nor did he exchange pleasantries with the other party, just discussing the matter:

"There is bad news. I don't know if you already know it, but I think it is necessary to tell you."

Seeing that Xiaduo spoke seriously, Vader couldn't help but put away his smile, and said seriously: "I have indeed received a lot of news recently, some of which are good and some are bad. I don't know which one Lord Xiaduo is talking about?"

"The Seven Towers have obtained a key technology from my teacher—Iolum, and started to build a floating city equipped with war spells, like me. refer to."

"Floating city?!"

Vader's expression suddenly changed. Recently, he has received too much news about the floating city, the most eye-catching of which is of course Shaduo's destruction of a city in Zamdas in the south, whether it is people or things, even Including the artifacts stored in it are destroyed together.

Of course, this is not good news for Vader personally, but it is undoubtedly an excellent signal for the future of the "Supreme Arcane Art" that Vader insists on and looks forward to.

So during this period of time, Vader has been very optimistic. He believes that the next thing will be simple. As long as the Floating Void City is continuously copied, it is easy to create a magical civilization with the highest level of arcane art.

Just now he was still chatting with the students, saying that he wanted to find an opportunity to ask Xia Duo to see if he could pay a certain price to introduce the relevant technologies of the Floating Void City, so as to add another strength to realize the vision of the future.

But he didn't wait for the opportunity, and the opportunity came to his door, but there was also a bad news that he didn't want to hear at the same time——

The Seven Towers actually obtained the technology related to the Floating Void City one step ahead of him!
"Lord Shaduo, did the technology related to your floating fortress also come from Master Iolum?" Vader asked.

"Not exactly, but the core technology that works with war spells is indeed from the teacher, and even the war spells on my side are also from the teacher's hands."

Although the main idea of ​​[Spherical Radiation Configuration Independent Austrian Fire Device 1.0] came from Xia Duo, he only came up with an improvement plan after seeing Iolum's prototype, and the improvement of this plan also condensed the efforts of other researchers. Wisdom, it is impossible for Xia Duo to complete it in such a short period of time by himself.

The reason why he said that this technology came from Iolum, more means that this technology completed the design verification under the leadership of Iolum.

This is also the case with war spells. He handed over the relevant elven war artifacts to Iolum, and Iolum started a team to complete the localization. It is not an exaggeration to say that it came from Iolum.

It’s just Xia Duo’s statement that made Vader’s face change again, “You mean that the war spell you used in the south was also made by Master Iolum?”

"Yes, but you don't have to worry about war spells. The teacher will not hand over that war spell to the Seventh Tower. In fact, the Seventh Tower may not lack such a war spell."

War Spells is different from Mythra. Although the former Xiaduo contributed a proven and feasible improvement idea, and also provided a very critical David string material, he does not own the ownership of this project.

Similarly, the localization of war spells can also be seen that Xiaduo commissioned Iolum to carry out. Although Iolum shared the right to use those kinds of war spells like Xiaduo shared the right to use Mythra, he did not It does not mean that it can be transferred to the Seven Towers.

And the Seven Towers should have collected a lot of war spells in the past few hundred years. As Xia Duo said, it may not lack a big killer like [Light of Annihilation].

It's just that this reality will make it harder for some people to accept.

Vader was such a person. He hoped that the purely arcane camp would have more original and exclusive technologies or weapons. Once he learned that the Seven Towers also had them, he felt bad.

He smiled bitterly and said to Xia Duo: "You really brought news that couldn't be worse!"

"In my hometown, there is a saying - misfortune comes with good fortune, and good fortune rests with misfortune. The Seven Towers obtained the key technology of the floating city, but it also made far-sighted people like you more worried and more united."

What Xia Duo said was another fact, that is, a considerable part of those who agree with the Ascension Order agree with the order itself, and with the fact that they themselves have the opportunity to participate in the establishment of this order, not by the seven The tower directly controls the order, and they can only accept it passively.

This is an obvious question. What the Ascension Order wants to establish is the future structure of the "God Realm".

If they can only be arranged by the Seven Towers, let alone their future status, whether they can ascend to the gods or not is in their hands. This is unacceptable to most arcanists with strong self-awareness.

To put it simply, the Seven Towers can occupy a certain advantage, but they cannot occupy an absolute advantage and make others become vassals.
