Lord of Arcane

Chapter 451: Inheritance of the Sages

Although the Arcane Empire is called an empire, there is actually no emperor or king. The supreme ruler is called the "Great Sage", and this "Great Sage" is also very interesting.

It made Xia Duo think of a way to select soul boys in his hometown, Westland. The so-called "great sages" neither rely on magical attainments nor military achievements. The empire has a special department to find great sages.

The specific method is not in the memory of the "Eddie" projected by Xia Duo. He only knows that the great sage does not refer to a specific person, but there are many.

But every great sage will actively guide the empire to magic, seek benefits, and plan for the future. The arcane empire has been established for nearly a thousand years. There have been turmoil during this period, but it finally proved the long-term vision of the great sage, thus establishing the current great sage succession system.

How the next generation of great sages is determined, only the contemporary great sages know, including "Eddie", I don't know how many people have imagined that one day they will be approached by the people from the imperial preparatory sage selection department and become the great sages. Sage Candidate.

However, all those who had this kind of idea failed to realize it in the end, because no one knew what the selection criteria were for the selection department, let alone how the great sage would choose.

Only a great sage knows that the other party is a great sage.

Although many people claim to be great sages and try to pass the test in vain, most of them can't even pass the test of selecting a record division, let alone face to face with the real great sage.

Some people also speculate that there is only one great sage from the beginning to the end, and the so-called selection is a trick played by the great sage, but this kind of argument is hardly untenable.

After all, in such a large empire, with countless mages playing the succession game, even the great sages may not have such a big face.

……

After leaving the graduation ceremony venue, Xia Duo searched for useful information from "Eddie"'s memory while walking towards the library. The succession system of the great sage looked like a conspiracy.

It is too childish for a normal country to choose heirs and leaders in such a fantasy way. No matter how many contributions the great sages have made in history, this uncertain selection method is really against the law of a normal country. normal rationality.

There should be key information that he doesn't know, because this kind of system can be recognized by many great arcanists, and it must be reasonable, but I don't know where the reason is.

At the same time, Xia Duo also discovered that the characters used by this arcane empire turned out to be Nether characters, and even the magic system was basically the same, and there were also arcanists and great arcanists.

However, there are no temples or priests here. From the projection to the present, Xia Duo has never heard a word related to the Lord of Radiance. What he heard most was actually a slogan. Almost everyone would shout a few times when they had nothing to do.

"Arcane is supreme."

Sure enough, it lived up to the name of the Arcane Empire. Perhaps this is a certain possibility of the main plane, but in the real main plane, history has not developed into the appearance of the Arcane Empire.

He really can't wait to learn all about the empire now.

……

When I came to the library, there were not many people here, only a few people.

For this phenomenon, Xia Duo also understands that "Eddie" is very clear in his memory, because the school provides textbooks, experimental sites, experimental equipment, and teachers to teach, and students rely very little on the library.

Even in the memory of "Eddie", he came to the library twice in the past four years, one time when he first came here, and another time to find information about the great sage.

Since "Eddie" is already a graduate at this moment, Xia Duo was told by the administrator that this was the last time he entered the library, and after today, he could only apply in advance.

According to the reminder in "Memory", when Xia Duo came to the history section, the first thing he saw was the "General History of the Empire" on a whole row of bookshelves. He took a copy and flipped through it. manufactured.

He only flipped through one book, and his interest was greatly reduced. He didn't know when he would see this entire row of bookshelves. He could only look for the catalog first, focusing on the part of the origin of the empire.

Fortunately, the book editors here are already very similar to those on Earth, and soon, Xia Duo found his target——

"General History of the Empire, Volume II: Severton Alliance"!
"It's really Netheril!"

No, it should be the counterpart of Netheril on the main plane in the astral projection plane!
If this is the case, then the so-called "demon" is really likely to be an elf!
Xia Duo searched quickly, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and closed the book with a "snap", "So that's how it is!"

There are no comments on history in the book, it is just a record, and it is still in a very neutral tone, with a feeling that the merits and demerits are left for future generations to comment on.

The Sevington Alliance is indeed true. It is a village and town alliance initiated by a person named Nether. But later Nether wanted to become a dictator. The great sage instructed the villages to reunite and overthrew Nether's rule.

Under the leadership of the great sage, the nascent Severton Alliance thrived. Later, the second generation of the great sage appeared. He taught the people magic and led the people to expand the land.

Afterwards, the great sages were like rain, wave after wave, and there was even a period of several great sages for a generation, until the Severton Alliance reached its peak, which was the establishment of the Arcane Empire.

Although it is a very simple text, Xia Duo can feel the magnificent history described between the lines, but at the same time, he also found something awkward.

Not to mention where the great sages came from one after another, just the great sages imparting magic is very doubtful. The Nairi magic system of the main plane is obtained by studying the [Nairi Scroll] .

The researcher himself is already a mage, but he learned elf magic before.

But in this projected plane, the great sage who didn't have any extraordinary power at the beginning taught it as soon as he said it. The appearance of this magic was so abrupt that there was no [Scroll of Nether] or similar items.

Or is it that [Naishi scroll] has been discovered and has been monopolized by the great sage, this possibility is extremely small, Xia Duo has a bolder idea——

Perhaps, the so-called great sages are all projected from the main plane like him, and they are organized and premeditated collective projections.

Once this person has doubts, he puts a layer of colored glasses on everything, and re-examines the process of the generation of the great sage. Xia Duo finds that he is not in the "state of the great sage" now!

If the contemporary great sage of the Arcane Empire is a member of the Tower of Time, then he only needs to exchange some information on the main plane with him in the past to determine the identity of each other.

The so-called confirmation is really a matter of one or two sentences.

But at the same time, there is another problem. It is obviously impossible for the great sage to be projected by the great arcanist of the main plane. If this is the case, how can there be so many lifespans to consume.

Besides, the existence of the projection plane is extremely short, how could it be possible to suddenly organize so many grand arcanists to play astral projection together.

The Arcane Empire has great arcanists, how could they accept the leadership of a group of so-called "great sages" who are obviously inferior to them?
Is it because the empire is well educated, or is it the inertia of history, or is there some hidden relationship?

Of course, it is also possible that Xia Duo was wrong. The so-called great sage is really a feature of the projected plane, a special existence.
