Lord of Arcane

After leaving the conference room, Xia Duo did not return to the Lingsi Network Research Center. Instead, he went around to the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory to get some information, and then left the alliance headquarters directly.

Yunfeng Manor.

It's June, and it's the flower blooming season. Although this year's abnormal climate effects caused by the collapse of the Dragon Madness Lock have not disappeared in the Northland, Evereska, who is in the Everspring Barrier, is not affected by these. Influence.

At this time, the maple trees outside the manor were all green, and the small garden near the main manor in the middle was also full of flowers. Xia Duo was passing by and was very surprised when he saw it.

After tracing back my memory a little, I discovered that the flowers in this garden had actually bloomed at the beginning of the month, but I was too busy with work some time ago that I didn’t take it to heart when I saw them.

But now, seeing the flowers in the garden blooming, Xia Duo realized that the new year was almost halfway through, and time passed so quickly without realizing it.

But thinking about what happened in the past year, he felt that it was a bit natural.

Returning to the study, Xia Duo took out the information he brought back from the alliance headquarters, browsed through it, closed it and put it on the bookshelf on the side of the study, and then sent a message to the housekeeper Rachel:

"Inform the other party to come over!"

This was because an elf wanted to visit him, and after knowing the other party's identity, he asked Doom to use the resources of the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory to conduct a brief investigation.

Now that he has read the information, he feels that he can meet the other party.

After a while, Rachel sent a reply, "We have been notified. The other party is on the way to the manor and will be there soon."

"When he arrives, bring him to my study."

Sha Duo wanted to take advantage of the time when the other party's consciousness returned to the Tower of Time to do some research, so he placed the meeting place in the study. Over at the Tower of Time, Savile was leading people to work overtime to organize and analyze the new plane and the main plane. spatio-temporal state relationship.

As the designer of the analysis algorithm, he naturally needs to follow up frequently in order to deal with various problems as soon as possible. Furthermore, these problems can also help him in subsequent algorithm optimization.

In this way, progress spirals upward until a technological inflection point occurs. At that time, it will be time for the detection of the ethereal layer to exert its power.

……

After a while, Rachel knocked on the door outside the study. Sha Duo's consciousness returned to the incarnation and shouted outside, "Come in!"

Rachel opened the door, but he did not enter. Instead, he gave up his position and allowed an aged-looking moon elf mage to enter the study.

"Dear Lord Chateau, thank you for your visit. Cousteau is very grateful."

The person who came was the first to report his identity, it was Cousteau, one of the four elders of the Thorn Society of the Mage Everesca organization.

Chateau also knew the background of the Thorn Society and Cousteau in advance, so he did not ask repeatedly at this meeting. Instead, he asked the other party to sit down first, and then asked about the other party's purpose:

"I remember that I have nothing to do with the Thorn Society! Why did Master Cousteau suddenly think of coming to visit me?" "It's not sudden. In fact, I have heard of Lord Chateau's name a long time ago. This year, due to the public computing power The appearance of Chi has attracted the attention of our society, which is why I paid this visit."

Having said this, Cousteau flipped through and took out a volume of books that he had collected in his sleeves, then stood up and handed it to Chateau's desk, "This is a gift from our Thorn Society to Lord Chateau. Please correct me." .”

"Oh? There are actually gifts?"

Xia Duo took the book generously. He was not worried about what the other party was doing in the book. He was just an avatar at the moment. So what if he gave it to the other party? Instead, Thorns would have to bear his anger.

Opening the book, Shado unexpectedly saw familiar arcane geometric figures. This was not the product of Elf Magic. Elf Magic had the symbol system of Elf Magic, and Arcane Geometry was the symbol system of Nese Magic.

After only seeing this first page, Xia Duo became a little more interested in the Thorns Society that came to him. He continued to look through it, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, as if he was looking through the early apprenticeship textbooks of the Tower of Time.

This turns out to be a concise introductory manual for Nese Magic!

For a moment, he was a little confused about the other party's thoughts. The spread of Nese magic to the elf world was nothing new, but there had never been a systematic introductory textbook.

In other words, before Shado appeared, Netheril itself did not have a systematic introductory textbook on magic!

The Thorn Society must have put a lot of effort into summarizing such a relatively complete introductory textbook on Nese magic based on only some scattered knowledge of Nese magic that had been spread to the elven world.

"This is indeed a good apprenticeship textbook. Even in Netheril, it is considered precious. The Thorn Society gave it to me so easily, which makes me a little uneasy! Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"It's like this. Some time ago, the Society of Thorns obtained the qualification to recruit apprentices approved by the Council of Elders of Everriska. I am visiting this time to ask Lord Shado to agree to the Society of Thorns teaching apprentices Nese magic!"

"Your society has obtained the qualification to recruit apprentices, and you are planning to teach apprentices Nese magic?!" Sha Duo couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the news.

Fortunately for the former, Evereska's legal exchanges with the Great Xia Territory were actually not just about the law, but just using the law as an introduction. They had already planned to relax the restrictions on the recruitment of mage apprentices.

Although it is not a comprehensive popularization of magic to the whole people, it can still be considered as an opening.

Shado had discussed this topic with Elder Larian many times before, and he was not particularly surprised that the Thorn Society was qualified to recruit mage apprentices.

At one point, it was just that the Society of Thorns had declined, but it could still obtain qualifications from the Everesca Council of Elders. Other more powerful societies probably had no restrictions.

What really surprised and surprised him was that the other party actually wanted to teach the apprentice Nese magic in the Elf Magic Society. This was a big or small matter.

From a small perspective, this matter is just a private decision of the Thorn Society. What those apprentices will eventually grow into and how they will be treated in the elven world are their own private affairs and outsiders cannot control them.

But speaking from a larger perspective, does the Council of Elders Evereska know about this? If they agree, will it trigger the elf mage's plan? If they don't agree, will it worsen the relationship between Shado and Everesca? ?

In the long run, although Nese magic can be slightly inferior to elf magic in terms of depth, after all, it is only a brand-new magic system created in the past few hundred years, and it is more based on some primitive magic systems that have long been eliminated by history. .

But from the perspective of potential, new creations by future generations may not be as good as those that were relatively mature in ancient times. Compared with elf magic, Nese magic also has one of the most important characteristics, and that is -

It can be done quickly! (End of chapter)
