Lord of Arcane

Chapter 973
Yun Qi is a special existence that Xia Duo can only see with the vision of Yun Qi. It may be the power of faith, the power of belief, or the power of luck that Xia Duo himself does not know exists.

But there is one thing Xia Duo knows very well, that is, the amount of cloud gas does fluctuate, but it is more of a slow increase, rather than a sudden decrease visible to the naked eye.

Even after the Green Field War, Xia Duo spread his fame for him because of the Seven Towers, and his soul was impacted by more invisible forces, which even caused his bloodline to reawaken.

However, the changes in the clouds were not that exaggerated. They increased, but neither violently nor suddenly. Instead, they increased slowly and very smoothly.

Since he obtained cloud vision, Xia Duo has also seen the state of many people's clouds, but so far he has not seen anyone whose cloud has decreased!

After he was sent back from the Kingdom of Glory by the envoy last night, he immediately checked all the states of his body, which naturally included the state of the cloud.

And before the rehearsal this afternoon, he also observed it once. After all, this is a special ability bestowed by the soul. It can be activated at will, and you can watch it whenever you want. You don't need to prepare anything specially, as long as you avoid some special beings.

The results of these two observations are not significantly different from the previous ones. Even after a magical trip to a foreign land, the clouds still have not changed much.

How could it be possible that after only participating in the rehearsal once, the cloud suddenly changed significantly, and it still decreased!
It could only be that something happened during the rehearsal that led to such a result!

Almost instantly, Xia Duo thought of the princess's unknown magic, which hadn't been seen before, maybe it was affecting Yunqi.

And cloud gas is generally invisible to spellcasters, even Xia Duo himself, if he doesn't have cloud gas vision, he can't see it directly.

Even with cloud vision, he has no way to see, perceive, or detect cloud, or the equivalent existence, through means other than cloud vision.

This is enough to explain the mystery of such things as "cloud gas".

It is not unreasonable for Xia Duo to guess whether it is faith, belief or luck, but it is such a mysterious thing, and now there are fewer, how can he not be shocked!
If the clouds are external objects such as beliefs and beliefs, then if there is less, there will be less, but if it is luck, if there is less, there may be problems.

It's just that this matter involves both the illusory cloud and the unresistible princess. He can't do anything other than be shocked now.

"Ugh--"

Xia Duo is finally a little sure now that this so-called New Year celebration may have already started from the moment they came to Severton!

……

Just when Xia Duo was disturbed by the decrease of the cloud, Princess Shia had already returned to Nether Palace in the old city of Severton.

In a secret reception room surrounded by heavy magic, several other great arcanists from the Seven Towers had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the arrival of Princess Shia, everyone had a look of nervousness and anticipation on their faces, and Badigal asked before anyone else could speak:

"His Royal Highness, is everything going well?"

"Thank you for your support, everything is going well!"

Shia gave a slight salute to everyone, and then explained: "The power of order has completed its first cycle, and it is still growing. If nothing unexpected happens—"

Shia didn't say anything about the latter, but everyone understood what it was, and that was the ultimate goal they were also striving for—

Ascension!

As a result, the eyes of everyone changed immediately, they looked at Xi Ya with sharp eyes, even their breathing was a little short, and some people asked repeatedly: "Really? Are you sure?"

"It's true! But to be sure—"

Shia shook her head slightly, "There are too many uncontrollable factors, who can guarantee that everything will be done according to your own wishes! I can only say that as long as there are no accidents, there is a high chance of success!"

"No, there will be no surprises!"

Badigal said forcefully: "Not counting us, even other people, even the elves are looking forward to the arrival of this day. Although there is a gap with the expected date, but when this day comes, who would dare to object!"

Only the people in the Seven Towers knew about the princess's private adjustment and improvement of the ceremony process, and even if other great arcanists knew about it, they would not object.

The only elf who might object is precisely the original initiator of the Ascension to God Project and the provider of ritual-related materials.

Even if they have paid a huge price for this plan long ago, will they object just because it is a little earlier?
Maybe they will become angry because the plan is out of control, but there is a high probability that they will not oppose or destroy it. After all, from the moment the materials of the Ascension Ceremony were sent to Sevington, the plan was no longer under the control of the elves.

And even if the elves object, Netheril is still waiting for the princess to verify the authenticity of the ascension ceremony. Even Braun and Vader, who have fallen out on the surface, will stand up under this situation. On the same front!
Facing the unprecedentedly united Netheril, the elves really dared to sacrifice their almost endless lives to oppose, so they don't have to wait until now to come!
Badigal is confident that even if the elves know about it, they won't do anything. The only thing to worry about now is the ascension ceremony itself.

Even though Princess Shia has confirmed the authenticity of the ceremony, will the elves give benefits for no reason?There must be a conspiracy hidden, but it is still impossible to determine what the real purpose of the elves is.

Perhaps Princess Shia's adjustment and improvement of the ritual process also has a tentative intention in it.

The final ceremony is just around the corner, and Badigal can't say anything to spoil the fun. He knows that what he can think of, other people must be able to think of it too.

Let others worry about it!

……

After Badigal, the atmosphere in the reception room gradually became more relaxed, and everyone even began to imagine the various changes in Netheril after the princess ascended to the gods.

It wasn't until the meeting was over and everyone left that Shia suddenly sighed and her face became serious.

In fact, no matter how sure the success is, the elf behind this plan has always been a lingering shadow in her heart.

It was precisely because of the authenticity of the ceremony and the possibility of success that she was even more worried. The smoother and more successful her side seemed, the bigger and more difficult the elf's conspiracy might be to stop.

But when she thought about it, she had already done the best she could, and now she could only continue on. If she said to give up now, let alone the elves, even those from the Seven Towers might not agree.

All of this can only be left to fate to decide...?

Shia pursed her lips, and subconsciously clenched the scepter in her hand, looking at the patterns on the walls around the reception room gradually.
