Lord of Arcane

Like northwest Yerland, northeast Sluvend is also a mountain range, through which the River Riven passes and flows eastward into the Narrow Sea from the surface port city of Ascor in Denzo.

It flows westward through Sluvend and Irfalan, and finally merges into the West Sea near the capital of Irfalan, Erintal. It is particularly worth mentioning that the Riven River Basin also includes part of Yeerland.

It can be said that the Ruiwen River is the most primitive above-ground trade route in the North.

Therefore, even though the area where Sluvender discovered the fog this time was also in a mountainous area, because the Riven River flows through it, a caravan delivered relevant news to the Northland Alliance the day after the fog appeared.

When Shado's incarnation and the Northland Alliance investigation team arrived in the northeastern mountains of Sluvende, the caravan that originally discovered the mist was also temporarily recruited.

At the same time, due to the seriousness of the situation, General Cruz, the current official leader of Sluvende, also visited the scene in person and contacted Shado and other investigators in order to obtain relevant information as soon as possible.

Outside the foggy area, inside the temporary camp.

Xia Duo looked at the strange fog that covered the sky and surged like waves in the distance. He couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart. He sighed to Doom who was accompanying him again as the leader of this investigation team:
"Erlan may have miscalculated this time. This is not an ordinary disaster. It may be difficult for them to handle it alone."

At this time, Ye Erlan still had selfish motives, which made Xia Duo very dissatisfied. He already knew that the fog was likely to be some kind of anomaly caused by the completion of the time-related magic ritual. The earliest discovered fog area was definitely more valuable for research.

However, Ye Erlan has always refused the Northland Alliance to intervene in the investigation. Fortunately, one was also found in Sluvende. Otherwise, the so-called time-related magic research laboratory may have to start with laboratory verification.

But the emergence of this new foggy area also means that the demon is one step closer to subverting the timeline of the main plane. How can this not make people feel more dangerous!
Regarding Sha Duo's remarks, Doom did not comment, but silently replied, "I hope this investigation can yield results!"

"I hope so!"

Xia Duo is now considered a non-staff member in the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory. He was not originally required to come personally to participate in the on-site investigation, but as someone who has seen the foggy area in the prophecy, he is also very interested in the fog in reality.

So when he received the invitation to investigate, he did not refuse.

In the temporary investigation team he is currently in, there are a total of seven members of the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory, including him as a non-staff member. They are field personnel directly under the Northland Alliance - that is, the armed forces that conduct investigations and arrests outside under normal circumstances. Five teams came.

In addition, there are a number of adventurers and craftsmen temporarily recruited from Evereska and Sluvende. This temporary camp was opened up by the cooperation of craftsmen and adventurers.

The site selection was based on the opinions of Sluvende. If the foggy area is resolved in the future, it will become a trading base in the Riven River Basin.

Although Xia Duo is staying in the camp and doing nothing, in fact, as the information coordinator of Lingsi Network, he is always processing investigative information from the front line.

After the general situation stabilizes in two days, he will also go on-site to investigate. Although he will not enter the foggy area, he will also conduct some tests in the foggy area to confirm some of his guesses.

As for the current investigation, it is mainly divided into two parts. One part is the description from the caravan members who originally discovered the foggy area, and the other part is the result of the on-site investigation by the investigators of the Northland Alliance.

The former is more or less exaggerated and fictitious, but it also provides certain psychological expectations for the actions of Northland Alliance investigators.It's a pity that the time-related magic is too weird. None of the two field personnel sent into the foggy area have been able to come back. At that time, the two field personnel were also connected to the Lingsi network, so Xia Duo could be regarded as witnessing it with his own eyes. The mysterious disappearance of the two elves.

There was no sign at all, and the link was instantly disconnected after approaching a certain limit of the foggy area. However, in the eyes of other investigators at the scene, the two elf investigators forgot about the Lingsi network for a while after disconnecting it. Just disappeared.

Especially the second one, because there was already an elf trapped inside, so the second one was extra cautious. Not only did he ask the other party to exit immediately when he noticed that the Lingsi network was offline, but he also had a traction rope tied to his body.

After Xia Duo discovered that the other party had disconnected from the Lingsi network, he immediately notified other investigators at the scene to pull the intruder out. Unfortunately, after the link was disconnected, even if the outside investigators immediately pulled the pulling rope, It also failed to pull back the second entrant.

I could feel the pulling force on the other end of the traction rope, but when I pulled it, I realized that what was being pulled back was just a section of the rope.

Various phenomena show that the inside and outside of the foggy area seem to be two worlds with completely different time flows. Currently, the investigation team has suspended the investigation into the foggy area and is focusing more on detecting the surrounding environment of the foggy area.

Of course, this is just a preliminary investigation. Members of the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory will intervene next and try to detect the mist itself through various means. Shado will also take action at that stage.

……

Two days later, the first meeting of the Mist Investigation Team was held. Participants included Doom from the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory of the Northern Alliance and another elf representative. The rest were all members of the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.

As the information coordinator of Lingsi Network, Xia Duo first shared the summary of the investigation in the past two days, "At present, the scope of the foggy area is relatively stable, and the parameters of the environment outside the area are also within the normal range, but it is not completely without abnormalities. .

"The first is the spatial coordinates. With the foggy area as the center, the spatial coordinates within ten miles nearby have shifted to varying degrees. Although the coordinates of the places closest to the foggy area have not shifted to the point of affecting the transmission, it still Worthy of vigilance.

"The other is a new parameter derived from the concept of time-related magic - the degree of timeline deflection. This parameter in a sense points to the progress of the demon's subversion of the timeline.

"Currently, the timeline deflection in our current conference room has reached 1.2%. You must know that this parameter in Everesca is only 0.009%!

"The maximum in other regions does not exceed 0.01%. At present, our research on time-related magic is relatively shallow and we cannot yet determine the specific significance of these parameters.

“But judging from the comparison of parameters near the foggy area and other areas, it is obvious that the higher the deflection of this timeline, the more disadvantageous it is for us.

"This is the basic situation known so far. Please speak freely."

After saying that, Xia Duo immersed himself in the Lingsi Network. He did not need to participate too much in the investigation and discussion. He only needed to do his essential job - that is, the Lingsi Network information coordinator.

What he is doing now is to try to create some charts and images that can intuitively express the status of the current foggy area based on the currently investigated environmental parameters and some specific detection parameters. (End of chapter)
