Lord of Arcane

Chapter 496 To Sevington

The headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation, No. 2 public teleportation room.

Accompanied by a flash of white light, a young mage wearing a dark red robe and holding a silver-white scepter appeared on the teleportation circle. It was Xia Duo who was summoned here from Linshui Village by a "phone call" from Niya.

To be honest, Xia Duo was a little bit upset when he came to Severton again. His new plan for the arcane competition was adopted, but the reward was not given, and he was called to give training to a group of novices .

He is now at the critical moment of perceiving the soul. How dare he meditate under the eyes of others when he arrives at Gilles High Tower?But he did not dare to refuse the call of the Grand Arcanist, especially since the Grand Arcanist, the Princess, could be regarded as his superior and backer.

If you rely on others to make a living, you should give some face no matter what.Furthermore, although there are no rewards yet, when the snowmelt competition is settled, as long as Netheril has achieved good results in [Arcane Puzzle], rewards will definitely be indispensable.

And whether he can get good grades has something to do with his training, at least in the eyes of the people above.

After leaving the Austrian Law Federation, it was Niya who came to "pick him up" and lead him into the old city. If no one led him, he might not know how far he would have to go.

Of course, it is also possible to go directly to the Giles Tower through the teleportation circle of the Arcane Federation, but Xia Duo does not have the passkey for the teleportation circle of the Giles Tower, even if it is only temporary.

"Xia Duo, do you know that you are famous now. Since the announcement of the new snowmelt contest, many people have been asking for information about you. Even the elves have stopped criticizing you."

"is it?"

Xia Duo's expression remained the same, and his tone was a bit flat, but in fact his heart was not as calm as it looked on the outside. It is of course a good thing to gain fame. After all, he speculated that the awakening of his blood may be related to the power of belief against him .

But fame can also bring some bad effects, such as being jealous and so on. If he had a choice, he would rather eat all the benefits quietly.

Of course, Xia Duo is not afraid of challenges, and now he has enough confidence to deal with everything.

However, trouble is what he wants to avoid as much as possible. Besides wasting time, what is the use of it?

Seeing that Xia Duo was not interested, Niya turned to introduce Xia Duo to the situation of Giles Tower, although Niya has been in Giles Tower for less than a year, and during this time, most of them are in the state of supplementary lessons , but at least you have to know better than Xia Duo, don’t you?
After a while, the carriage carrying the two entered the old city. The old city was far less prosperous than the new city, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was deserted. However, Xia Duo could feel an atmosphere similar to that of a university on Earth.

In addition to the tallest tower of Gilles, there are many other low mage towers. According to Niya's introduction, these mage towers were built by great mages. Fei.

The path of progress for a great mage is very narrow, except for the illusory possibility of becoming a legendary mage, it is basically impossible to directly advance to the level of an arcanist.

Most great mages will try to build a mage tower at the end of their lifespan and leave it to future generations, and those who have money will build it early.

Of course, the land in the old city is limited, and the mage towers that could be left in the old city were long ago. The most recent mage tower was built in the old city more than a hundred years ago.

Most of the subsequent archmages tried their best to seek a piece of land close to Severton, and built the mage tower to pass on.

At the beginning, when the land in the core area of ​​Nether was relatively abundant, it was not difficult to obtain a piece of land. Even as long as it was unclaimed land, it could be occupied. After all, the archmage himself had the right to open up new lands.

Many very small territories were born in this way.

But now, the No Man's Land in Nether's core area is extremely rare. Even if there are, there are many people staring at them. Most of the current archmages choose to directly enter the Seven Towers, or the mage towers of other great arcanists.

Although it is not as comfortable as having your own mage tower, it does not need to be so hard and troublesome to open up new land in the wilderness.

After listening to Niya's introduction, Xia Duo thought of more. In today's era, if Netheril does not have a fundamental breakthrough in productivity, then the population saturation of the core area has become a foregone conclusion.

Then the pioneering movement led by the princess is very in line with the current trend of the times.

If we don't open up new land, then the inland may have to use up the population through war, and opening up, in addition to obtaining new land, will also reduce the population itself.

Even if the princess didn't take the lead, other lords would come forward to do it. After all, the current Nether territory was developed from scratch.

They are now simply retracing the path of their ancestors.

The pioneers have already become the advanced elements of Netheril. Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

Hearing the laughter, Niya turned her head and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of a name from my hometown."

When mentioning her hometown, Niya became even more curious, "Xia Duo, you are not from Naise, why haven't you mentioned your hometown?"

Xia Duo has no intention of concealing the fact that he is not from Nether, but the existence of his hometown still needs some technical modifications. After all, he does not want others to know that he is an existence of a different plane, or even a different universe.

He has always claimed that his hometown is farther east than Cormanthor. As for where, only God knows.

Because of the existence of Muyan, Xia Duo felt that there should be a so-called Karatu continent in this world, but it is hard to say whether it is on the same plane as Netheril.

Anyway, Mu Yan claimed to be from the East, and he also claimed to be from the East. Mu Yan claimed to have encountered a space-time rift, so he should also experience it. Anyway, there are not a few people who have experienced this kind of experience.

As far as Xia Duo knows, a mistake in [Teleportation] may cause the caster to lose himself in a foreign land, and it may also implicate other people nearby.

Teleportation accidents in Netheril have long been common, especially teleportation scrolls, which greatly increase the probability of such accidents, which is why Xia Duo prioritized stability when researching teleportation spells.

I am really afraid of death.

Seeing that Niya was interested in his hometown, Xia Duo was not disgusted by it, but seeing the tower not far ahead, he smiled and said: "My hometown is in a very remote and beautiful place, but this The story will be very long, if you want to hear it, I will tell you it slowly when I have time, now take me into Giles Tower."

"Oh, by the way, Great Master Greta is still waiting for you in the mage tower." Thinking of the business, Niya suddenly became anxious again, dragged Xia Duo and ran to the foot of the tower.
