Lord of Arcane

Chapter 494 The Illusionist Elven Court

The current situation is that the elves have made it clear that the art of bullying humans is insufficient, and all the great arcanists can understand it, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Human aesthetics has been deeply influenced by elves for hundreds of years. Even the great arcanist appreciates the art of elves. Compared with elves, is it possible to win?

A silent and oppressive atmosphere pervades this secret meeting room. It's okay to be inferior to the elves in terms of art. After all, Nether mages pay attention to practicality, and the elves are good, just use them.

But the problem is that there are many interests involved in the snowmelt competition, and even many potential crises. It is unacceptable to lose even one project, not to mention the whole project.

"Remember that little thing we let go a few years ago?" a great arcanist said suddenly.

"What little thing?"

"It's that dwarf slave who is proficient in illusion!"

Having said that, several great arcanists immediately thought of the dwarf slaves they had intentionally let go.

There are many dwarves living in the territory of Nether, and Nether also needs these intelligent creatures for mine development. They are much smarter than orc slaves!

It's just that these dwarves don't know where they learned elf magic. Although it is difficult to develop under the deliberate suppression of Nether mages, under the pressure of life and death, they focus on illusion magic to hide themselves and their ethnic groups.

Some gnome illusionists perform illusions that amaze even grand arcanists.

The dwarf slave who was deliberately let go by several great arcanists is a very skilled illusionist, and the most important thing is that he is quite famous among the dwarves. Let him go to let him gather dwarves, so that Nether The mages spared the trouble of searching everywhere.

Just keep an eye on that dwarf illusionist, and when he gathers a lot, arrange a sweep, catch some, let go of some, and continue to catch when there are more gatherings next time.

In this way, up to now, most of the wild gnomes in Netherland's territory have been captured and used as slaves.

Although the gnome's illusion is not as artistic as the elf's, it definitely wins in terms of being natural or whimsical, after all, it is honed through life and death.

The great arcanist wanted the dwarves to compete with the elves instead of humans.

Dwarves are not considered enemies of Nethers, but Nethers are enemies of dwarves. Let the dwarves fight for the enemy. It has to be said that this is a brain-opening idea.

But the great arcanists adhering to pragmatism quickly accepted this suggestion. Anyway, it is difficult to win with human mages, so it is better to try with dwarves.

"His Royal Highness, [Spell Showdown] requires the assistance of your elf mages for training, and [Arcane Puzzle] was proposed by you again. You are responsible for these two projects. Let's get rid of those dwarves."

Princess Shia nodded, "Yes, but [Arcane Puzzle] was not proposed by me, but by a pioneer."

"The pioneer, is that Xia Duo, the author of the "Great Xia Territory Standard Development Manual" and the lord of the Great Xia Territory?"

"Yes, it's him."

"good."

There will be no more after that, after all, it is already very good for the Grand Arcanist to remember his name.

Soon, the seven great arcanists dispersed, and at this time the snowmelt competition was less than a month away.

……

And in the far east of Netherland, in the territory of Comanthor, deep in the forest of Akola.

An area covered by a mysterious barrier, although it has been devastated by the war, has survived tenaciously and is trying to recover. It looks like a small village, but this is the elf court, where many elf elders provide for the elderly. The place.

In the past, this place has also experienced glory. Hundreds of high mages, priests, and nobles stood up and issued a declaration here to resist the imperial rule of Arivanda.

Of course, thousands of years have passed, and the brilliance here is long gone. Now it has become a place for the elderly. The elders are generous and fraternal, and they can still exert the last sliver of heat in the war against drow. Great reason to continue here.

But today, the Elf Court has ushered in many young high-level mages. Although their real age is not too young among the elves, they are still young compared to the elders of the elves.

The Elven Court forbids the transmission of spells, and Farrow and his party walked from outside the barrier to the village inside the barrier, where the members of the organization had already arranged the ceremony site in advance.

A large-scale mysterious magic circle, casting nodes made of mithril, inlaid with countless gemstones of different colors, and various mysterious symbols looming in the air.

In the distance, several elf elders looked at this place with smiles. Their connection with the mortal world had long been broken, and the reason why they stayed in the mortal world was only to give the last little help to the younger generation.

Farrow respected these elf elders from the bottom of his heart, saluted from a distance, and then asked the members of the organization who did not participate in the ceremony to entertain the elf mages who came to watch the ceremony.

He himself carefully checked the entire magic circle, this is not a trivial matter, if something goes wrong, even if he survives by luck, the oracle of the main god will not be easy to complete, next time he wants to organize it again [ Omniscient Secret Instrument] It is not so easy.

Fortunately, everything was fine, Farrow straightened his gorgeous robes, and stood at the center of the magic circle, at the casting node cast by mithril. Seeing that Farrow had started, the other twelve high-ranking mages also took up their positions one by one. on the casting node.

With Faro as the center, there is a spell-casting node on each of the three equally divided corners, and each spell-casting node has three subsidiary spell-casting nodes.

Equivalent to the 1-3-9 division method.

When the thirteen senior mages, including Farrow, were ready, the ceremony officially began.

First, Farrow recited the initial incantation, and activated the magic circle supporting the [Omniscient Mystery]. After that, the incantation suddenly changed, and the other twelve spellcasters also began to recite the incantation.

Although each of them uttered only the default incantations, the thirteen voices were intertwined together to form a complete set of incantations.

Of course, the secret ritual is not just about spells, and even spells are secondary. It is fundamentally about the control of the magic net. The spells only play an auxiliary role, allowing the thirteen spellcasters to coordinate.

The more people involved in the ceremony, the more difficult it is to coordinate, of course, on the other hand, the greater the power.

……

With the start of the [Secret Ritual of Omniscience], winds began to blow around the Elven Court, and even the sky seemed to be darkening, and various incomprehensible mysterious phenomena continued to emerge around the magic circle.

The elf mages onlookers stayed away from the magic circle one after another, but none of them left. Since they came, they must be psychologically prepared.

After a while, the sky began to rain lightly. Farrow and the others had no protection and let the raindrops hit their faces, but the rhythm of the spell was not chaotic at all, and even faintly resonated with the surrounding wind and rain.

Until more than half an hour passed, the wind stopped, the rain also stopped, a rainbow hung from the oak tree not far away, and Faro's side also reached the most critical moment.

Everything before can be understood as the process of casting spells, and there will be results after that, which need to be borne by him and the other twelve participants.

Omniscient is not necessarily a good thing. Without that capacity, you may be overwhelmed by the huge amount of information all at once. Farrow’s method is to use spells to link the thinking of thirteen high-ranking mages together to construct a simple thinking Model, incorporate all information, organize, and draw conclusions.

In addition, the mental model cannot be complicated. If it is too complicated, the processing speed will be slow, and accidents will occur if it is slow.

Finally, except for Farrow, the spellcasting of other spellcasters stopped. When Farrow finished reciting the final ending spell, the magic circle erupted with a burst of intense light.

This has both the magical aura that cannot be seen by the naked eye, and the dazzling light that is visible to the naked eye, which made all the elf mages watching around squint, and some even closed their eyes altogether to sense the changes in the magic net at the magic circle.
