Lord of Arcane

Chapter 833
Niya subconsciously leaned her body towards Xia Duo, leaned her head on Xia Duo's shoulder, and asked softly with some confusion:
"What form do you think the mission will unfold? Do we really want us to play hide-and-seek with elves in the forest?"

After half a day of training, they only learned part of the information about the elves, and the rest was related to joint spellcasting. For the specific details of the mission, Festum didn't disclose at all.

During the day, she was filled with training, but at night, Niya suddenly realized this problem. The elves are called "children of nature" or "children of the forest". Can humans really defeat elves in the forest?

The Druid during the day left a deep impression on her. Although she believed that the higher-ups would definitely take countermeasures, Niya still felt deeply powerless in the face of such an enemy who came and went without a trace, almost like a dead man. feel.

Niya's problem is also Xia Duo's problem, but compared to Nya's confusion, Xia Duo seems much calmer. He took one of Nya's palms, palms facing each other, and used his real body temperature to dispel her confusion. .

He patted the back of Niya's hand lightly, and said calmly: "Although I don't know what the specific mission will be, Her Royal Highness has recruited all the pioneers. Not all of these pioneers are high-level mages. If we don't even have If there is a way to survive, wouldn’t the others all come to die?”

Hearing the words of sending everyone to death, Niya couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Of course, sending them to death is impossible. She knew that the pioneers were related to the teacher's very important plan.

Although I don't know what it is, judging from some past performances, the Blazers are obviously not cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at will.

However, a temporary joke can certainly dilute the confusion and fear in Niya's heart, but some things still need to be prepared in advance. She clenched Xia Duo's hand behind her back and asked again earnestly:
"Are we really going to play hide and seek with elves in the forest?"

"I don't know, but I guess the higher-ups will definitely lead to some kind of head-on confrontation. Otherwise, if you really want to play hide-and-seek, it's better to let us come over, and then there is no need to train for joint spellcasting!"

Xia Duo believes that Niya can also understand this point, but facing an enemy like an elf, everyone will be nervous. Even in his mind, images of himself being beaten to death by an elf pop up from time to time.

This is normal, but a true warrior is able to suppress these negative emotions and let the positive ones take over so that they can deal with external forces correctly.

Is Niya a real warrior?
Xia Duo believes it is, at least she has combat consciousness and combat ability, but the specific combat psychology may be a little weaker.

Xia Duo himself is the same, but fortunately, the trip to the projection plane not long ago allowed him to gain hundreds of years of combat experience of a drow warrior.

These experiences are not only specific combat skills, but more importantly, the experience of killing mentality and fighting will.

After all, the drow warrior's combat skills, no matter how good they are, are just a icing on the cake for a high-level mage or arcanist. Whether they have the opportunity to use them is another matter!
Unlike the orcs, although cruel and bloody, they are at least within the scope of the mage's response, while the powerful image of the elves has long been lurking in the hearts of Nether people.

The more you know, the more you fear the elves.

Therefore, regardless of the value of the Green Field Plane itself, Xia Duo speculates that this joint operation may not only have the intention of making the pioneers stand in line, but may also be more about breaking the fear of the elves from the Seven Towers mages.

For a long time, although the Netherese and the elves, especially the Cormanthor elves, have had conflicts from time to time, they have not risen to the level of war, at least there are very few deaths.

The most frequent and serious conflict is probably that the Comanthor elves drive away the orcs from the territory of Nether every year. Under normal circumstances, such conflicts always end with the patience of the Nethers.
But this time, Archmage Furstham clearly mentioned that once encountering an elf mage, the first priority must be to kill and injure, which is obviously an act of war.

Going deeper, maybe not long before Netheril and Cormanthor will have a bigger conflict, or a real war.

And this joint action is just a pre-war ideological mobilization!

……

Xia Duo told Niya her conjecture, and this argument shocked Niya to sit up from the bed. In the dark, she stared blankly at Xia Duo, and asked:

"You mean, there's going to be a real war soon?"

"Guess, this is just my guess, don't ask around, if it gets out, wouldn't it become panic spreading!"

Of course, if it is more serious, it may destroy the arrangement of the big figures above, but Xia Duo didn't say it.

However, Niya already understood what Xia Duo meant, but this made her agree with her previous speculation even more, "No, after what you said, I also feel the same way, maybe the real war is not far away!"

"No, don't think so, I'd rather there be no war!"

Right now, Netheril has gradually broken the conservative atmosphere caused by the theft of the [Nether Scroll] in the past nearly a hundred years. Everything is developing in a good direction, and it needs a stable development environment.

Once there is a war, the final situation is likely to turn in an unpredictable direction.

If Iolum dies in the war, then the joke is a little too big!
The real magical world must not be fully described by the one-sided game data on the earth. At least so far, Xia Duo has seen too many things that do not match the game data before time travel.

Not to mention other things, at least the projected plane is not reflected in the game data on Earth. Others such as Austrian fire, spell slots, and even the description of gods are different.

Therefore, Xia Duo only knew that Iolum might invent the [Misser Energy Core], not absolutely sure, but——

If even Iolum is killed, then there is no possibility at all!

Knowledge is not exclusive to one person, and others may be able to invent similar devices, but compared to a relatively certain future like Iolum, there are too many unpredictable factors for others!

Of course, in another way of thinking, it may be that the war in the near future contributed to Iolum's final design of the [Mither Energy Core], which is not impossible.

But compared to the serious consequences that war may cause, Xia Duo is more willing to develop peacefully. After all, as long as he persists, he will have everything.

……

The couple's night conversation continued until late at night, and it was unknown who was the first to stop talking, so the two of them just hugged each other and slept until early morning.
