Lord of Arcane

Chapter 556
This is the last day of competition for the [Arcane Puzzle] project, and the first game is Comanthor's challenge to Netheril.

It was precisely because of this that Niya reminded Xia Duo to watch it carefully. If it was a performance between elves, let alone remind Xia Duo, she herself didn't want to watch it.

"Xia Duo, what do you think of today's outcome?"

"I don't know, let's talk about the situation in the first round first, but with the Grand Arcanist personally training, I think it won't be worse than yesterday (main plane)!"

"Grand Arcanist? Did the teacher train them? Have you met the teacher?"

Niya asked several questions in a row, which made Xia Duo feel a little overwhelmed. However, the game on the field was not boring, and Niya didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask Xia Duo to answer. She just asked questions and continued to watch the game.

Xia Duo also replied while watching the game, "It's Master Badigal from Gustav Tower, and the master even gave me some Arcane Crystals!"

"Really?!" Niya suddenly turned her head, with a look of surprise on her face, "I heard that that person is very difficult to get along with, how did you do it?"

"No way? Niya! Don't you believe those rumors?" Although Xia Duo said so, in fact, he also had such thoughts at the beginning.

And looking at the second seat under the representatives of the Three Kingdoms at this time, the Great Arcanist Badigal was indeed majestic and solemn, and looked more fierce than others.

"Of course I don't believe it, but after hearing too much, I—" Niya was a little embarrassed, and after careful reflection, it was indeed just a rumor. Now that Xia Duo has contacted Badigal, it is obvious that Xia Duo's statement is more credible.

Of course, Xia Duo didn't flatter him because of those 8 arcane crystals. After watching the game, he just briefly described his experience in the [Plane of Annihilation].

He believed that Niya would have her own judgment.

Three people become a tiger, and I don't know how those rumors spread. Does the Grand Arcanist really not care at all?

If you substitute yourself, it seems that you really don't need to care about those?
If the rumor is satisfactory, treat it as a joke; if the rumor is not satisfactory, just kill it.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo felt that Badigal might really have a majestic and tyrannical side, but then shook his head again. There are always countless interpretations for the subordinates to speculate on the superiors.

What is the real situation, who knows?

Recalling some of his mentality in Daxia, Xia Duo seemed to understand the Grand Arcanist's thoughts, but he didn't seem to understand.

……

Just in this arena, in front of the Grand Arcanist, it was somewhat inappropriate to discuss the Grand Arcanist himself. Xia Duo and Niya soon stopped talking and concentrated on watching the game.

The first game, no surprise, Netheril won.

In the next few games, Xia Duo found that the elves didn't seem to have made much progress, while the humans had undergone targeted training. Could it be that the first day's victory scene was going to be repeated?
After the game, Xia Duo paid close attention to the situation of the elves on Comanso's side. He didn't notice it, but he found out that the number of elves coming to watch the game today was a little less than before.

Looking at the faces of those elf players, even from a distance, you can tell that they are in a bad mood, and their elegant demeanor seems to be a little bit unbearable!
It seems that today's game is stable.

What happened next was exactly as Xia Duo had expected. Except for the tie in the last game, Netheril won all the other games.

At the end of the competition, Xia Duo and Niya returned to Gilles Tower together, and he was about to prepare for his return. The last event of the snowmelt competition [Magnificent Illusion] is a group event, which can also be regarded as an exhibition competition.

If nothing else, tomorrow is the last day of the snowmelt competition.

……

Niya's residence.

When Xia Duo mentioned that she was about to leave, Niya was inexplicably agitated, but she didn't think too much about it when she felt unhappy because she was about to lose a peer with whom she could communicate.

She even thought that Xia Duo should return to the territory in time, otherwise she might be punished by the teacher, but at the same time she also thought of a question, "You left, what about Feld's spell book? Didn't you say you wanted to come with me? Was it cracked?"

"It's simple."

Xia Duo took out a communication magic weapon in the shape of a crystal ball and handed it to Niya, "The deciphering work can only be regarded as the preliminary preparation stage. Let's [identify] the relevant elements of the spell book first, and then even if I go back, I can do it." Contact and communicate through this communication tool, and formulate a specific cracking plan, and then the specific action stage."

Niya subconsciously took over the communication magic weapon. Her attention was not on the communication magic weapon. In the past, she would definitely have noticed this communication magic weapon that could directly connect Sevington and the southern border.

But now, she subconsciously wanted to refute Xia Duo's words. Realizing this thought, Niya was immediately taken aback by her own thoughts, and quickly turned her attention to the communication magic weapon.

This communication instrument is completely transparent. If there is no magical aura, it is no different from an ordinary crystal ball. But Niya is not an ordinary person or a wandering mage without insight. She knows that this is a packaged standard magic item.

"The encapsulation technique is skillful. After [Crystal Softener] semi-elemental encapsulation materials and mithril components, they are compatible and concealed at the energy and material levels. The excitation method is still the general one—" Niya Subconsciously commented.

But soon she realized something was wrong, and unconsciously raised her voice, "A new type of communication instrument?! By the way, what did you just say? This communication instrument can directly connect Severton and the southern border?!"

"Yes."

Xia Duo took out another crystal ball, cast a [Secret Imprint of Twins] in front of Niya, and landed on the two communication instruments respectively. This was regarded as adding a friend, and then explained:
"Soon, the Arcane Federation should release this new type of communication spell, but it is not as convenient as a communication magic weapon after all."

Xia Duo didn't explain too much, otherwise he would raise a lot of questions, but continued to introduce the method of using the communication magic weapon.

Since it is a communication magic weapon, it is definitely not difficult to use. The only difficulty is probably the 1st-level spell of [Twin Mark], which is a set of friends.

After the oral introduction, Xia Duo handed Niya an instruction manual, and that was the end.

"The communication magic weapon has been given to you, now hurry up and complete the [identification] of Feld's spell book!"

"Ah?" Niya, who was flipping through the manual, was a little happy, but was interrupted by Xia Duo. She couldn't help asking: "Is it so urgent? Didn't you say that the ship from the territory is still a few days away?"

"Yes, there are still a few days, but the problem is that I can't contact the ship now. I don't know when they will arrive. Let's finish it as soon as possible."

If you really want to get in touch, Xia Duo can still get in touch, but it's not necessary. He estimates that the fleet will arrive in a few days, and they can also be equipped with communication instruments in the future to be able to communicate in two directions at any time.

Of course, if the [identification] of the spell book hadn't been completed after the fleet arrived, he would still delay it for a few days. After all, no one urged him to leave anytime.

He just felt that staying in Severton was not as satisfying as being in his own territory, and wanted to go back early and do things freely.
