Lord of Arcane

Chapter 637 Wronged and Unlucky
Although Netheril has a variety of communication spells, face-to-face chat is still the main way for Netherist mages to communicate. Even [Magic Web Background Communication] only lowers the threshold for remote communication.

Xia Duo wildly guessed what Nya wanted him for, but after much deliberation, it was either related to the notice he just sent to the Apprentice Management Office through Ta Ling, or it was related to the monthly magazine of the Austrian Federation.

As for which one, he was prepared.

……

He called Ta Ling to teleport himself outside Niya's study room. The door was wide open. Xia Duo walked in and came to the window. Niya had already prepared tea and was waiting for him.

Glancing at the projection on the window, Xia Duo found that it was the pioneering scene in Linshui Village, logging, pruning, sawing, and transporting, orderly and lively.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but wonder when Nya would pay attention to his situation, so he couldn't help but speculate about this meeting again.

Just as she sat down, before she had time to take a sip of tea, Niya asked abruptly, "Is the monthly magazine of the Austrian Law Federation related to you?"

Although it was an interrogative sentence, it revealed a positive tone. Of course, Xia Duo had nothing to hide about it. He talked about the deal between him and Gilles High Tower, that is, the patent transfer of the [Magic Network Background Communication].

Looking at it now, it was a transaction. In fact, Xia Duo was planning to give it directly to Gilles High Tower at the beginning, but Her Royal Highness did not let him suffer, and it was still calculated according to the high-standard spell transfer.

At the end, Xia Duo smiled, "Did you think of it from that communication artifact?"

"Ah."

Niya nodded. Back then, Xia Duo gave her a crystal ball-shaped communication instrument. Although she didn’t use it much, it was confirmed that she could directly contact the southern border from Severton. Immediately produced the corresponding association.

However, Niya was still a little dissatisfied with Xia Duo's transfer of spells to Gilles High Tower, and her tone was a little resentful, "Why didn't you register the patent in the name of the Tower of Time? Are you still worried that I will deduct your patent income?"

"Uh--"

Xia Duo was a little caught off guard by Nya's grievances. Originally, he was preparing to deal with Nya's accountability, but now he was not used to it.

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo explained: "Communication spells are not that simple. If the Tower of Time is going to register a patent now, but one or more great arcanists come to your door and ask you to give up the registration, will you agree? "

"Of course—agree!"

Niya is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, but her ingenuity is more concentrated in the field of magic, and her judgment of interpersonal relationships and social situations is not as good as Xia Duo, who is almost blackened by the earth. .

Of course, Xia Duo is also more of a theoretical school, but he only needs to know that one thing is prudent, shoot the first bird, and don't show the limelight that shouldn't be, "Also, don't you think the communication spell is very familiar to you?"

Niya tilted her head, "What do you know?"

"Isn't the Arcane Federation negotiating with Lord Hawk before, wanting to introduce his new communication spell? If he is cut off by the Tower of Time, what do you think he will think?"

Having said that, Niya immediately realized that Lord Hawk had written "I'm an elf traitor" all over his face. If it wasn't for someone still needing communication spells for him, he would have been dealt with long ago.

If he knows that the Tower of Time is also engaged in communication spells, and it is also seeking to register a patent, it is not impossible to kill the Savile Territory directly with new hatred and old hatred.

"Then you mean that Lord Hawke is in trouble?" Niya said with some doubts.

"Of course, now is the time when Comanthor is asking for Netheril. If the elf master behind him doesn't bleed a lot, maybe next year there won't be Doraison Hawke."

Of course, this is Xia Duo's most optimistic guess. After all, it is not so easy to kill a senior arcanist who is close to the grand arcanist. It is not because of insufficient strength, but because the general environment does not allow it.

If senior arcanists can kill as they please, can other mages still feel safe?
Netheril has a law that applies to all territories, that is, the caster can withdraw money to avoid crimes, and most crimes can be solved by fines.

At the beginning, if it wasn't for Hawke's insistence that Aquiline was innocent, but willing to plead guilty and accept punishment, it would be impossible for Xia Duo to detain Aquiline for so long.

Of course Aquiline himself is willing to plead guilty and accept punishment, and then pay the money and leave, but in that case, he is willing to leave, but Xia Duo is not willing to let go.

If you want to kill a spellcaster in Netheril, the best way is to assassinate. As long as you succeed on the spot, there are many opportunities to argue afterwards.

Whether it's using spells to forge the scene, or forging one's own identity, or even tampering with the results of inspections and trials, it's similar to that on Earth, and the key still depends on the struggle of the supporters behind it.

Hawkland and Augustland, the two sides assassinated each other's spellcasters, killing and killing, I don't know how many people died, and none of the killers were convicted in the end.

It is conceivable that this is the correct answer.

If Lord Hawk wants to die, he can basically only use assassination methods, but for a senior arcanist who is very close to the Grand Arcanist, is it necessary to let a Grand Arcanist pull down and act as an assassin?

Xia Duo estimated Xuan.

……

After talking about the monthly magazine and communication spells, Niya and Xia Duo talked about the situation of the apprentices of the Tower of Time, "The Tower of Time has never had so many apprentices before, I am a little worried—"

"don’t worry!"

Xia Duo quickly interrupted Niya. He knew what Nya was worried about. It was nothing more than management chaos and financial deficits, but these were actually not problems.

He drank the last bit of tea in the cup in one gulp, got up and walked behind Niya, put his hand on her shoulder, and pressed gently, but Xia Duo's eyes passed through the projection of the window at the moment, and fell on the woman who was working. The voice of the Great Xia leader gradually became ethereal:

"Have you heard the call of the new era? It is urging us and advising us that only with more spellcasters can we have a greater voice in the future."

Magic is not something that has a high barrier to entry. It is only the artificial monopoly in the past and the inconvenience of communication that formed the current relatively conservative environment. However, conservatism has its limits, and openness has a longer tradition.

Once the resistance is broken, it is an open new era.

Xia Duo softly described the scene in the future magical world where everyone has books to read and everyone to learn. Through spells or battles, or travel, or development, or games, the mages have traveled all over the main plane, and even every livable place. noodle.

In the field of magic creation, magic facilities that originally only existed in a few areas such as the Tower of Time will also enter the homes of thousands of ordinary people, such as running water, magic stoves, voice-activated lights, teleportation arrays, robes, amulets, etc. It will become a very common commodity.

Of course, by then, there may not be a pure concept of ordinary people, and it is not impossible for everyone to be a mage.

At that time, even if elves want to come to the human world, they will have to go through many applications and approvals. The most important thing is that even if they come to the human world, they will no longer have any privileges.
