Lord of Arcane

But an outsider like Savile, who has no trace of dragon blood in his body, cannot get started with dragon magic at all. This situation is very rare even in vassal countries. Most of the humans in those vassal countries can enter the threshold of spell casting through blood.

Then you can learn dragon magic.

The elves in that plane still have the inheritance of elf magic, but it is very niche. There are basically not many elves or humans who study this. Any elf who is interested in developing into the Holy Golden Dragon Empire will choose dragon magic from the beginning.

Bloodline is not a problem. After countless years of mixed blood, those elves have more or less dragon blood in their bodies. Even if they are "squibs", they can be activated through certain magic rituals.

In other words, in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire plane, almost every intelligent life can cast spells.

Only an outsider like Savile is of pure human blood. Even if he can understand dragon magic, it is difficult to directly perform it. All he can do is analyze and simulate it.

This also made Savile's progress in the field of dragon magic very slow in the past four years.

Because Shado knew about Calimshan's blood magic in advance and even briefly studied it, and he also had a special bloodline, he could understand it almost immediately after seeing the enlightenment book on dragon magic in Savile's memory.

This magic system is indeed very similar to Calimshan's blood magic.

It's just that it's not easy for Calimshan scholars (also known as blood mages) to reach the limit of the magic network. It has a lot to do with blood. If the blood cannot reach a certain level, the upper limit will never be exceeded.

Of course, as long as it reaches a certain level, it is easy to reach the limit of the magic network.

However, improving bloodline is not easy in Calimshan. Calimshan raises elemental creatures to a large extent to maintain the bloodline. Further improving the bloodline is more costly.

But this situation does not exist in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire. Humans and elves in vassal countries can still learn dragon magic normally even if they have dragon blood in their bodies and cannot even transform into dragons.

As for improving the bloodline, it is even simpler. Normally, a bloodline that can reach the limit of the magic network does not even require additional resources. It only requires an awakening ceremony. (It means that the blood is enough to support blood magic to reach the limit of the magic network, not that the blood itself reaches the limit of the magic network)

After accumulating enough contributions to the empire and finding a golden dragon mentor, you can be easily promoted to a real golden dragon, which is equivalent to reaching the limit of your bloodline.

This method is almost unimaginable in Calimshan. As long as one reaches the bloodline limit, it can be copied in batches without paying a high price (a large number of elements of the same element).

In the history of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire - Savile's first choice when entering the library was history. Just like Shado first checked the history in the Arcane Empire of the projection plane, racial integration began very early.

At first, the dragons and elves were fighting for hegemony, and other races were reduced to vassals. In order to make the vassal races work better, the dragons and elves gave other races their own blood, and even intermarriage was not uncommon.

In the context of the two races fighting for hegemony, there are actually battles between dwarves and giants, and battles between sea and land races, but these are not the general trend of history.

The general trend is that the dragon finally defeated the elves and became the ruler of the plane. Other races, without exception, have become vassals of the dragon and the growth point of the human (dragon) population.

If the giant dragon later became the ruler of the plane, then the golden dragon was the ruler of the dragon clan, and this is where the name of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire came from.

Of course, the era that Savile went to was more than 10,000 years after the dragon defeated the elves and became the ruler of the plane. During these more than 10,000 years, the rule of the dragon clan was not stable, and various races often rebelled. Of course, the elves are indispensable for this, but the roughness of the Dragon Clan's own ruling methods is also a very important reason. They almost rely on violence to subdue them, and the attitudes towards the vassal races within the Dragon Clan are also different.

Golden dragons are among the few that are relatively gentle. The other dragon clans are all brutal to the vassal races. Almost half of their more than ten thousand years have been spent in the process of rebellion and counter-rebellion.

Of course, during this process, the Golden Dragon was also transforming the Dragon Clan bit by bit, until the advent of a key technology made it possible to truly unify the various races.

This key technology is obviously the promotion ceremony.

Other races can be transformed into golden dragons through lower costs and lower thresholds, and perhaps vice versa, but the book Savile saw in the library did not mention it.

If the dragon clan that appeared in Netheril this time is from the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, it means that this technology is reversible and universal, and it can even be said to have reached the top of flesh and blood creatures!

It is only out of necessity for governance that the golden dragon is adopted as the national standard.

Sha Duo didn't know how the Holy Golden Dragon Empire developed the promotion ceremony. Savile was also very curious at the time, but he searched the library and couldn't find relevant information.

But no matter what, this technology did appear and is used by the Holy Golden Dragon Empire to this day. If this technology that can mix one race had not appeared, the process of the Golden Dragon's unification of the plane would have been delayed for a long time.

Moreover, the process will not be smooth, and the foundation of rule after reunification will not be very stable.

When seeing this period of history, Xia Duo became more interested in this technology. The main plane is also a plane where multiple races coexist. If there is technology that can mix various races first, it will definitely be more difficult to unify that plane. Lower it by half.

……

In the Lingsi network, Savile's sharing continues. Different from the life scenes he shared at the beginning, he shared the memory of searching for information in the library in great detail.

Xia Duo absorbed those Golden Dragon books almost with hunger, which were very useful for him to understand that world. However, when he saw one paragraph in a book, his thinking stopped for a moment.

The content of that paragraph is "The empire's ether exploration technology has made another breakthrough. Thanks to the new technology, fourteen new planes have been discovered one after another, but unfortunately there is no habitable plane among them"!

The Holy Golden Dragon Empire has begun to explore the ether. Based on the context, it is not difficult for Xia Duo to find that the "ether" in the book does not actually refer to the ether plane, but to the "etheric layer".

But soon, Xia Duo figured out that for a civilization that has unified the local plane, not exploring outside is the most impossible thing.

At this moment, he was very curious about how far the Holy Golden Dragon Empire had developed in terms of plane exploration. Unfortunately, there was only a small amount of relevant information recorded in the book, let alone specific technical details.

But even so, this is very worthy of vigilance.

Although the Holy Golden Dragon Empire under the rule of the Golden Dragon is relatively mild, it is completely impossible for Xia Duo to immediately abandon everything in the main plane and become the leader.
