Lord of Arcane

Chapter 518 For the omen of war?

The other party seemed to be telling his companions about the situation on the Nether Arcanist's side, and even pointed at the Nether Arcanist who was fighting against the Yeerlan Mage on the stage.

He seemed to be discussing something, and his expression was full of confidence.

Looking at those high elf mages again, they had an unfathomable appearance, and they couldn't see any strange expressions, but among the several great arcanists, some of them had obviously shown an angry face.

It's just that he seemed to think of something and forcibly suppressed it again.

Soon, the battle between Netheril and Yeerlan ended, and Netheril won, but similarly, the process of this victory was not easy.

Xia Duo touched Niya's arm and sighed: "Every time Netheril challenges first and accepts the challenge last, the form itself is very unfavorable, coupled with the deliberate targeting of Yeerlan and Comanthor, [Spell Duel] Netheril probably would have a hard time winning this item."

"Yes!"

I don't know when it started, Niya's hands were clenched nervously. Hearing Xia Duo's sigh, she couldn't help sighing, full of doubts, "How did this year's snowmelt competition become like this?"

As she said that, she looked at Xia Duo nervously again, "Will there be any accidents with the two items [Magnificent Illusion] and [Arcane Puzzle]?"

Although the winning or losing of the Snowmelt Competition has nothing to do with Niya, she is a member of Netheril after all. Although she doesn't know what kind of interests are involved behind the Snowmelt Competition, she understands that Comanthor's forced participation is not a problem. Just to win a game.

Although Xia Duo knew that there must be interests involved behind the snowmelt competition, he couldn't imagine how big these interests were. Therefore, his answer to Niya's question was still conservative, "It's possible, but your teacher must have considered this long ago. Let's not worry about it and watch the game with peace of mind."

Having said that, in fact, most of the meaning is to comfort Niya. In fact, Xia Duo himself is a little uneasy. The case of the arcane empire being destroyed in the projected plane is still vivid in his mind. Will this situation be a war now? What about the harbinger?

There is a very famous "Thucydides Trap" on the earth, which says that a newly rising power will inevitably challenge the existing power, and the existing power will inevitably respond to this threat, so that war becomes inevitable.

Although Netheril is not yet rising, in Xia Duo's view, this trend already exists, and the elves are not fools. You can develop for nothing, even if you don't go to war directly, there will definitely be considerable It is impossible to remain indifferent to the degree of suppression and infiltration.

Perhaps now has reached a critical time node.

Xia Duo does not have the perspective of God and cannot understand all the details, but judging from the information currently available, the possibility of war is still not small.

……

The first event of the snowmelt competition [Spell Showdown], 10 people from each of the three parties, each only competed twice, a total of 30 games, this first day only finished ten games until the afternoon, El Carmon announced early today The game is over and will continue tomorrow.

On the way back, Xia Duo recalled the ten games just now. Of course, excluding the three fake games between the elves, there were actually only seven games.

With the increase in the number of entourages, many situations became more obvious.

For example, when the elves are dealing with humans, they will always try their best to attract human arcanists to launch the Arcane Fire, and then harm the Arcane Fire; for example, certain spell-casting habits of the wizards Yeerlan and Cormanthor, and so on.

In terms of spell knowledge, Xia Duo was not disappointed either. Although there were many elements beyond the level of the magic net that he could see, what he could see was still very precious.

If it wasn't for the arcane competition, which arcanist would be willing to show him so generously?

While walking, Xia Duo was discussing with Niya about the details of the spell that he had just seen. When passing by the tavern of Archmage Greta, Xia Duo suddenly felt a little hungry, so he called Niya and walked into this more academic-like tavern. Sharon's Tavern.

This time, Xia Duo took the initiative to order food. While waiting for the food to arrive, Xia Duo heard the mage on the table next to him discussing the snowmelt competition. The other party did not use the sound barrier, and of course, the noise was not too loud.

"Have you heard? In this snowmelt competition, Ye'erlan and Comanso jointly targeted us!"

"No way, isn't the relationship between Ye'erlan and us humans always good?"

"Your news is already out of date. At the beginning of the year, Ambassador Ye Erlan made a big fuss in the Severton Council. If the relationship is really good, how could he do such a thing?"

"Really?"

"Of course, I have a friend whose father is the lord. He attended the lord meeting on behalf of his father and saw it with his own eyes!"

"Ugh--"

……

While listening, the waiter delivered Xia Duo's food order. He cast a sound-proof barrier casually, and then discussed with Niya in a low voice while eating.

"Look, many people now know that Netheril and Yeerlan have broken up. I really don't know what will happen next!"

"With the teacher here, it shouldn't affect us." Niya's tone was not very sure. Today in the arena, the teacher was indifferent to the elves' obvious anti-counterfeiting match, and she didn't know whether the teacher could protect her.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of her great-grandfather who was exiled in a different plane and was about to return—the great arcanist Saville. If the great-grandfather was there, he must be able to protect her.

However, the plane exploration array of the Tower of Time, as a space-time beacon to guide the return of the great-grandfather, has been activated for more than half a year, but why hasn't the great-grandfather returned yet?
Niya is unwilling to face the worst outcome. All she can do now is wait. As a little arcanist like her, she can do very little when it comes to matters related to the fate of the nations.

Such a serious topic is not suitable for discussion during dinner, and the atmosphere became a bit dull, Xia Duo quickly changed the subject, "Come and go to the port with me later."

"Port? You mean the spell book?"

"Well, I'm going to make my own spell book. It must be easier if I have a ready-made one for reference. You haven't made your spell book yet. If you gain something this time, it will be half as good as yours."

"No, if you can really get the spell book, don't give it to me." Niya suddenly felt a little shy.

Xia Duo was a little surprised, and quickly asked: "What's the matter? Don't you want to study it?"

"Sorry, Xia Duo, although I didn't make the spell book, but my father left his spell book to me before entering the stasis room. The make-up class ordered by the teacher has not been completed, and I don't have time to make another one in a short time A spellbook."

"..."

Xia Duo opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything. What else could he say?He has nothing to say.

Well, Xia Duo is actually envious and jealous.
