Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2462 Prophecy Again
Although Xia Duo can comfort himself with "the general trend is with me", and the reality of the general trend is indeed on his side, after all, he still has a feeling that he is riding a tiger until the thing is really done.

Therefore, when he realized that there might be variables in the matter, he immediately decided to raise the bet, trying to kill the variables in advance.

inside the laboratory.

Xia Duo took out the anchoring altar with many complex emotions such as fear, awe, and excitement. This time the incident happened too hastily, and he had no time to use a more secure method to deal with it.

If possible, he actually didn't want to rely too much on divination spells, but now, he had to use them.

According to the process, Xia Duo anchored the present world, projected perceptions in turn, locked the future vision of the present world he wanted to see in a timeline that was constantly spreading outward like a spring, and collapsed the infinite possibilities into concrete pictures——

It can be seen from the decorations and emblems on the surrounding walls that it seems to be in the Severton Council, but it is a completely different venue from reality, more similar to the current Joint Conference of Grand Arcanists.

In the conference hall with a towering dome, the ring-shaped main seat in the center is extremely eye-catching. Only two of the 48 seats are vacant, while the outer periphery is clearly divided into multiple fan-shaped blocks.

From the dresses on their bodies, it can be inferred that the front row may be representatives of senior spellcasters, while the thicker ones are representatives of lords. Counting them carefully, there are nearly 250 representatives of lords.

This is obviously more than the current number of Nether Lords. Seeing this scene, Xia Duo was shocked. Could this be the Sevington Council after the restoration of the Sevington Covenant?
In it, he saw himself, sitting among the 48 seats in the ring-shaped main seat in the middle of the conference hall, wearing the iconic crimson protection robe, and the pioneer scepter hovering quietly on the left hand side, just his face Somewhat vague.

It's not just him, the faces of everyone seen in this prophecy are somewhat blurred, and it seems that there is still great uncertainty in all of this, but being able to see this scene at least shows that all of this is possible.

In addition, this scene is not a static picture, but a combination of multiple discontinuous pictures. From the movements of the characters in the picture, it can be seen that this scene seems to be negotiating for a certain issue, and both the chief executive and the peripheral people participated in the discussion.

And there were disputes during the discussion process, but they were all resolved by votes by everyone. Judging from the results of multiple votes, there were less than 400 people in the venue, and the divided camps were extremely messy. It seemed that everyone had their own interests. Own a unique position, only make decisions based on the situation and interests.

To say who caught Xia Duo's attention the most in this scene, besides himself, is Iolum. Although his face is blurred and his clothes are seldom distinctive, he can still see from the subtle behaviors of the other party that that person It is Iolum.

In the venue, only Iolum sat with his back facing the emblem of the Severton Covenant. It seemed that it was the main seat, and it was indeed the case. Every time there was a big controversy on the field, Iolum took the initiative to stop it. and initiate a vote.

Isn't this the proper behavior of the speaker or chairman!

From the perspective of qualifications, Iolum does have the qualifications to be the speaker. Coupled with his prestige and ability, it is entirely possible for Iolum to be the first speaker after the restoration of the Sevington Covenant.

After all, the speaker is actually a moderator to a large extent. More serious arbitrators do not actually have much privilege over others, and because they need to maintain neutrality, it will be more difficult to express their own ideas on some issues of interest.

In other words, sitting in this seat with countless supervisors is actually a thankless job!
Just looking at this scene, Xia Duo could see many clues, such as the actual number of great arcanists in Netheril, neither 19 nor 19+26, but more.

Although there are only 48 seats on the screen, some people are actually unwilling to participate in politics, not to mention the two who are absent. As far as Xia Duo knows, there are at least four great arcanists who did not appear on the screen.

Conjenio, Byron, Jenna, and Savile, there are only two absent in the picture, which means that at least two great arcanists have given up their seats in the Severton Council.

In addition, this is a picture of the future. Niya has long been a senior arcanist under his training. He has not had time to make up lessons for Nya since he came back from the Red Heart Alliance. As long as he frees up a little, Nya will become a great arcanist, right? question.

This is one more.

Considering the need for a certain amount of potential power, Xiaduo speculated that the actual number of great arcanists in Netheril should be close to one hundred. After all, the Seven Towers only exposed three habitable planes. If there were more If so, it's hard to say.

Of course, there can't be too many livable planes, or there can't be too many great arcanists hidden in the seven towers, otherwise only a small part of the power that seeps out is enough to change reality (power expansion).

Therefore, Xiaduo speculates that the total number of great arcanists in Netheril is actually unlikely to exceed 100, and it may be around [-].

Judging from the faction selection revealed by the voting in the screen, the Seven Towers are indeed not monolithic, and those extra lords and grand arcanists are also not monolithic, and many of them have stood on the side of the Seven Towers in multiple votes.

Perhaps this is where the variables reminded by this prophecy lie!
Xia Duo didn't know what Iolum had prepared for today's meeting, but he still knew the general direction. It had been discussed before, and basically it was to use the Severton Covenant to suppress the Seven Towers.

It is impossible for the Seven Towers to oppose the Severton Covenant by themselves, and they will definitely break through from other directions, but all problems will eventually be able to bypass the people in those planes.

If the people in those planes jumped backwards, wouldn't he and Iolum feed the dog sincerely, so when Xia Duo thought of variables, he immediately thought of two points, one was Pullman, the other It was those three heterotopic planes that concentrated opinions and bounced back.

In reality, Pullman may indeed bounce back, because his family, friends, and even all social relations are in the sweet water plane, and the sweet water plane is now in the hands of Qita, so it is too easy to be threatened.

It's just that under normal circumstances, the Seven Towers will not really do anything outrageous, but this may not be the case. After all, once several planes are connected, the strength of the Seven Towers will inevitably decline, and the resulting decline in reputation and power will be reduced. It is also inevitable.

In order to maintain the power in their hands, no one knows what the Seven Towers can do. Fortunately, the Seven Towers are not dictated by an individual, but a collective decision, and it is more likely to make rational choices.

But the threat does not necessarily have to actually do something, as long as the person being threatened thinks you can do it, so the probability of Pullman's rebound exists and is relatively high.

As for those three different planes, there is a possibility that the opinions of the three different planes will rebound, but it is much smaller than that of Pullman.

From Pullman's description confirmed by Iolum, it can be known that the sweet water plane has developed to the limit under the current conditions, and the people inside are unlikely to be willing to continue shrinking in a small box.

Ordinary people can't choose. Those spellcasters obviously have a choice. It is impossible to follow the Seven Towers wholeheartedly. At least on the issue of whether to return to the main plane, there is an essential contradiction between the two sides.
