Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2556 Sea Cliff Survey Epps Arrangement

But that was the situation when everything was normal on the main plane. Right now the main plane is facing the crisis of the collapse of Dragon Madness, and there have been signs of abnormal weather. Now that the snow line in the North Pole moves south, Xia Duo feels a little terrified. .

Causality cannot be verified for the time being, but at least there is a correlation. The snow line moves south—winter advances—winter prolongs. These are all real happenings.

But what Xia Duo couldn't figure out was, what happened to the alternation of hot and cold climate mentioned in the prophecy?

Cold, because there are precedents, it can be explained by the leakage of the power of Dragon Madness or the southward shift of the Arctic snow line, but what about hot?Could it be the impact of the fog event?
Or, the "coldness" is not the only type of power leakage when the dragon mad fan lock collapses, which is a reasonable guess.

But combined with the fog event in the prophecy and the fact that the Arctic snow line is moving southward in reality, Xia Duo feels that further investigation is needed.

……

Right now, although the discovery of the land under the ice layer is indeed not a small breakthrough, as long as the Longkuang Mysuo control center is not found for a day, it is not really a full achievement.

The so-called "traveling a hundred miles and a half ninety times" is exactly what it means, and we still need to continue to search and discover.

Next, Xia Duo did not take an intermediate value, but searched for the edge of the land from north to south from the place where the land was first discovered, or in other words, searched for the seaside where the control center recorded in the Dragon Madness Scroll is located.

Normally, the seaside is not suitable for building buildings. The beach is muddy and soft, even if there is magic, it is not suitable. Why bother when there is a more convenient way?

Therefore, in the process of searching, Xia Duo was more inclined to the cliff landform. Although the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll did not explicitly mention that the control center was built on the cliff, it also mentioned a detail.

The writer of the secret scroll once quoted a poem to describe the shocking scene when he visited the hidden fortress for the first time——

"Looking down at the sea, the waves are stirring;
"Dragon blood spilled, dragon scales shattered.

"The rebels are singing!"

The writer of the secret scroll must make dragon blood on the surface of the sea. Xia Duo guessed that the time of visit may be at dusk, the sea surface reflects the sunset, and the sound of the waves is like broken dragon scales. It should not be realistic, but at least it shows that the waves are very loud.

From this point of view, the possibility of the hidden fortress being built on a sea cliff is somewhat greater than being built on a beach!

……

In the next few days, Xia Duo continued to explore the Arctic edge of the continent. During this period, he discovered more ecology under the ice. For example, a small space was formed at the root of a certain mountain due to the accumulation of geothermal heat, and there were even fish and plants in it. .

Due to time constraints, Xia Duo was unable to investigate deeply, but as far as the eye can see, there is no land animal in that small space, and there may be some small insects, which also shows the miracle of life.

For another example, it may be that the saline lake formed when the estuary of the continent was frozen in the early stage. Although it has shrunk a lot due to the pressure of the ice layer above, it is still very impressive.

There are also fish and algae in it.

Xia Duo believed that there should still be some large spaces in such a large ice sheet, even connected to the surface, but he wanted to search for the Dragon Madness control center, and did not explore inland or ocean, but only on the edge of the continent.

He can only discover what is on his course of action.If it wasn't there, he couldn't find it even if he wanted to.

……

Four days later, Xia Duo received a message from Niya, saying that Epps had accepted the recovery ceremony in the Savile Town Temple, and Niya sent a message to ask about the future arrangements for Epps.

"After this experience, Epps can devote himself to magic research. He may have the opportunity to become a great arcanist in the future. Don't bother him with the trifles of the territory!"

Right now, the Daxia Territory and the Savile Territory are promoting the integration of the two places. This critical moment is definitely not suitable for Epps to be the lord anymore.

In addition to the lordship of Savile Land, the Tower of Time, a mage tower organization, is no longer suitable for Epps to lead, which is beyond doubt.

Apart from these two points, Xia Duo had no demands on Epps.Niya did not object to Xia Duo's suggestion, and the reason why she came to ask Xia Duo was also worried about it.

Now that the words were spoken, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Later, Xia Duo proposed to temporarily assign a previously built level-three laboratory to Epps. The reason for saying it was temporary was mainly because Chang'an City would move to the New Floating Void City sooner or later.

A new lab will still be assigned to Epps at that time.

As for the mage tower, it is unnecessary. With the existence of the floating city, there is no need for magic facilities to be shrunk in a small mage tower.

It is the corresponding personal equipment. Since Epps had handled it completely as if he was going to die before, Xia Duo also received some inheritance, but most of it was given to Niya.

Now that Epps is recovering, and the inheritance is not enough to return, some of the things Xia Duo got have been consumed or dismantled by him, and he can't return them even if he wants to.

Only some of the more private things that Niya got can be returned. In addition, Xia Duo is also preparing to make some personal protective equipment for Epps.

"That's about it. If you find any problems later, we can talk about it. By the way, the former students of Epps, except Cecily, should be transferred to the third-level laboratory for the rest of the time. If they get along well, in the future That's how it's arranged."

Normally, the laboratory conditions that Leonard, Adrian and others are using now are definitely not as good as those of the third-level laboratory.

Of course, Leonard and Adrian have now established their own independent research labs, are they willing to return to Epps's door, or is it another way to say that Xia Duo just provided a condition for the original teachers and students to reunite.

Or, Epps can also use the third-level laboratory to invest in shares, and he himself is also a good bargaining chip as a high-level mage, it depends on the acceptance of the new era and new system during this period of time.

Even if they can't reach an agreement in the end, at least there is a relationship between the teacher and the student, and in the environment of the Tower of Time, it will not be torn apart.

What Xia Duo is most worried about now is Leiden. Before the integration of the territory was progressing smoothly, but now that Epps appears, will the old Savile leader feel that the opportunity has come again and oppose the New Deal?

Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt that it was necessary for Niya and Epps to talk about this issue, otherwise when Epps was coerced by the old department to become the spokesperson of the old era, it would inevitably hurt his feelings.

Xia Duo told Niya about his thoughts, and Niya expressed her understanding, "I will talk to my father, in fact, my father has seen the different development status of the two places these days, and he still agrees with the situation of the Great Xia Territory.

"If the talks go well, I will let my father go out and actively cooperate with Leiden to promote the integration of the two places. This may be an opportunity!"

Xia Duo was relieved when Niya said that, but he didn't immediately turn his main consciousness to the North Pole, but controlled his body to come to the Plane Exploration Center of the Tower of Time.

In the future, we will not only explore the etheric plane and the astral plane, but also explore the shadow plane, trying to discover traces of the eastern world.
