Lord of Arcane

When it comes to psychic magic, Shado is actually no stranger. The first time he came into contact with psychic items was in a small shop near the river in the east of Everesca City.

At that time, he also bought several psychic items in that small store. At this stage, Xia Duo was more puzzled, confused, and vaguely disgusted with psychic magic.

Later in Calinshan, he was assassinated by Zhamdas's psionic master. Fortunately, he killed the opponent and obtained his memory. Only then did Shado have a more comprehensive and thorough understanding of psionic magic. learn.

His attitude towards psychic magic has also changed. Although he is still not optimistic about its idealism and reality, as far as its existence is concerned, Shado has been able to fully understand and accept it.

The source of psychic spells in arcane magic may come from psionic magic, but it has already gone its own way and has a very deep foundation in reality - based on real things such as soul and consciousness, rather than spiritual energy determined by idealism.

But it is undeniable that psionic magic may have surpassed arcane magic for several generations in the study of the spiritual realm.

Therefore, in terms of the subsequent development of the public computing power pool or the subsequent in-depth research in the spiritual field, both Sha Duo and the top leaders of the alliance intend to introduce psychic mages to participate in the research.

Although the latter may have initially made such a decision to check and balance Xia Duo, the matter itself was not a bad thing, and Xia Duo did not object.

Psionic magic is there, and it won't disappear just because Sha Duo doesn't like it. Since we know that psionic magic has advantages in the spiritual realm that arcane magic can't match, why not take the initiative to absorb it?

As long as arcane magic can be improved in the spiritual realm, why not?

Of course, Xia Duo himself will not invest too much energy in the spiritual field. After all, the limit of development in this field may be the arcane version of psionic magic, which will not play a decisive role in solving the crisis in the main plane.

Xia Duo still pays more attention to the realm of planes. If there are achievements in its branches of exploration, advancing can open up new planes, and retreating can also give the creatures of the main plane a way out.

Its core field is related to the origin of the universe, which can be compared to cosmology and astronomy, while the spiritual field may only be compared to psychology.

This is not to say that psychology is useless, but compared to cosmology, it does not play a decisive role in dealing with crises.

Therefore, Xia Duo has not taken the initiative to study psychic energy, nor has he established a psychic energy research project at the Tower of Time. This time he accepted the invitation of the Northland Alliance to become the head of the Lingsi Network Research Center. To a certain extent, he also hoped to use the alliance. Resources to delve deeper into the spiritual realm and explore the boundaries between arcane magic and psionic magic.

His own energy is limited and he can only invest in areas that he considers to be more important. However, compared to his personal resources, the resources of the alliance are more than a hundred times greater. Seniors, rather than letting these resources be wasted in internal consumption, it is better for him to Use it to do something practical.

If it was just a title in name only, Xia Duocai would not accept the alliance's invitation. He agreed to work in the alliance just to do something practical. After all, the spiritual realm is also very important.

In addition, this is also to accumulate political achievements for him to lead the alliance in the future. Otherwise, if a non-staff member suddenly jumps out, why should he accept your leadership?

Leadership is not something that only those who are strong can possess. Unless the powerful deduce all order and then start over according to their own wishes, they still have to abide by the existing rules of the game.

According to Chateau's philosophy, leadership is obtained through actions, or to be more straightforward, through political achievements.

Only by doing well can you be qualified to become a leader. This is a prerequisite. Without this prerequisite, the so-called leadership is either bluffing or outright bullying, and it cannot be called a "leader" (meaning to lead and guide) at all.

……

Of course, the strong also have their advantages. Compared with ordinary people who can only obey the rules, the strong can resist the old rules to a certain extent and can actively create new rules that suit themselves.

For example, when the Northland Alliance was established, Shado was not actually a strong man at that time, but he could still push the course of history in the direction he wanted to see by influencing Netheril. After entering Netheril and signing the new covenant, Shado could already be considered a strong man by this time, so to a certain extent he could even dominate the specific content of the new covenant.

It’s just that the other members are not weak. The new covenant cannot be completely in accordance with Xia Duo’s own wishes, and certain compromises need to be made. This is politics (part of politics, which is the sum of all social activities and social relations).

The situation in the Northland Alliance is more complicated. If Xia Duo wants to become the leader of the alliance in the future, he naturally needs to make plans from now on. The old sayings in his hometown say "it is my duty to do my duty" and "it is my duty to do so". This is probably the case.

……

Xia Duo stayed up all night. He had two consciousnesses, one half of which was in the Tower of Time, and he accompanied Niya to sort out all the information on past communication mystery lock research and experiments.

The other half was incarnation, sitting at the public computing pool connection test site where Everesca was sitting, and the night passed by in a hurry, as if it had never existed.

But it must have existed. The mages who went to work at the Alliance Lingsi Network Center in the morning knew it, and all the access users whose permissions were temporarily increased due to the computing power pool test last night knew it.

Xia Duo himself knew that they witnessed a miracle last night. There were no abnormalities in the Lingsi network of nearly 7,000 people, which was far beyond expectations!

This depends on the excellent initial architectural design of Lingsi Network and the perfection of preliminary preparations, but no matter what, it can be called a miracle.

Next, May is a critical node. As long as the other countries' sub-networks are successfully connected to the grid in May, then this public computing power pool will really be a magic miracle!

It will provide endless computing power and inspiration support for countless Northland mages, and it will become a never-ending boost for the development of Northland magic!

Taking advantage of the free shift handover in the gateway control hall, Xia Duo announced to the outside world through multiple channels at his disposal that the second phase of the construction of the public computing power pool was successfully completed!

After the message was sent, there was an endless stream of inquiries and inquiries. Xia Duo blocked most of the messages and only chose some familiar ones to reply to.

Without exception, they introduced the situation, expressed joy, and invited to visit.

Especially the last one. When Xia Duo sent the last message, people from the alliance headquarters were already rushing over excitedly.

"Consultant Xia Duo, please tell us, why is the second phase suddenly completed?"

"Yes, I heard that the main network was still being debugged two days ago. Why did the grid connection test suddenly succeed? Who was the first to connect to the grid?"

……

Regarding everyone's doubts, Xia Duo did not explain immediately, but asked them to visit here first, "Waiting for other people to come over, I will explain them together."
