Lord of Arcane

Chapter 986

At the same time, at the ceremony site, the commendation had come to the end, Xia Duo followed the master of ceremonies' guidance and came to the center of the venue, facing the viewing seats in the south and the dense crowd of onlookers in the south.

In the auditorium, Xia Duo saw Niya, Belleira, and the person who sat beside Belleira and educated her seriously from time to time, who was suspected to be Belleira's father.

There are still many familiar faces, all of whom are high-level mages from the Seven Towers, and of course more are unfamiliar faces.

With so many eyes focused on him, Xia Duo felt itchy all over his body, but he couldn't reach out to grab it. Instead, he put on a calm and easy-going smile, remained motionless, and let these eyes with different meanings baptism.

This made him even more uncomfortable, and when the magic video about the development of the Great Xia Territory started to play, he felt that the gazes falling on him were less.

"Xia Duo, for his outstanding performance in the Southern Saville Arcane Competition in 834 Nether calendar, he was awarded the title of [Pioneer], and then he opened up a new land in the Green Pearl Forest in the southern border. During the process of pioneering, he—"

Although most of these magic images are "great achievements" of a meritorious nature, showing them in front of so many people still makes Xia Duo feel like being "publicly executed".

Of course, listening to countless people calling his name, and even shouting "Da Xia" collectively after seeing the recent situation of the Da Xia leader, he felt that this feeling seemed to be quite good.

But at this moment, when the ceremony is here, ordinary people may not be able to notice anything. The spellcaster, even the worst spellcaster, can see that the surrounding environment of the magic net has changed significantly from the normal time.

Even if they don't know the real meaning behind these changes, they know that something big is going to happen.

……

As the magic video about the development process of the Great Xia Territory "finished", Xia Duo returned to the queue, and the atmosphere in the square had become polarized.

The most enthusiastic ones are of course ordinary people who don't know anything, and are still immersed in the Great Xia collar environment shown by the magic image just now.

Even though Xia Duo had retreated into the queue, they still stretched their necks, pulled their throats, and shouted Xia Duo's name vigorously.

Such a frenzied scene made Xia Duo feel a strong sense of unreality. He had no doubt that if he walked out of the queue and waved his hands at the crowd, it would trigger stronger screams, shouts, and even more fanatical actions.

But compared to the fanaticism of ordinary people, spellcasters seem much calmer, but that's all.

In today's rapidly changing and almost turbulent magic net environment, it is almost impossible to say how peaceful it really is.

According to the general rules, the change of the magic net is so strong that it can already cause random chaotic magic, but now, there seems to be an invisible force regulating it behind the scenes.

This is also the real reason why many spellcasters present have not run away in large numbers.

People live in the environment of the magic net, and every bit of themselves is connected with the magic net and influences each other, but those with strong influence are called "spell casters", and those with weak influence are ordinary people.

In such a turbulent, but maintained state of the magic net in a strange balance, most spellcasters know that moving at will and disturbing the balance of the magic net are the biggest risks.

Therefore, as long as there is no substantive threat, all the casters still maintain a relatively calm surface state for the time being.

Needless to say other people, even Xia Duo is the same.

Especially when he was in the ceremony and passively participated in the process of the ceremony. At this moment, he could better understand the threat of the turmoil in the magic net, which was almost a riot.

But behind this seemingly meaningless turmoil, he also felt that a different order was brewing and growing.

During the rehearsal, they should have disbanded when the ceremony reached this point. However, during the actual celebration today, the ceremony did not stop here. Instead, there was a feeling of intensification before.

It's not like the experience in the rehearsal at all!
……

But from the perspective that Xia Duo couldn't see, a torrent of vigorous power was pouring outwards along dozens of invisible links centered on Princess Shia.

Penetrating the void, extending to the territory corresponding to dozens of pioneers, and turning into invisible again.

It seems to disappear, but it is reflected in all aspects. Taking time as a clue, endless power rises from the top of each territory, and returns to the princess along the link.

After some subtle changes, it poured out again, and the cycle repeated.

In such a cycle, the invisible force continued to grow and gradually exerted influence, not only in the area of ​​the Alpha Plaza centered on the princess, but also in all the spaces that the link reached, including dozens of open territories.

Even after many cycles, it penetrates into other areas of Netheril.

At this time, in a secret room full of protection, shielding, and interference magic in the Nether Palace in the old city.

On the altar, a full-length statue that is exactly the same as Shia in the current square, and the original material is almost invisible, began to shine with a faint spiritual light, and as time passed, it became stronger and stronger.

So much so that there was a glimmer of light in this dark secret room.

This is real light, not perceived light. Once this light appears, it expands rapidly, filling the entire secret room, and drowning the statues on the altar.

But not being seen is not the same as disappearing. Instead, the statue becomes ubiquitous because of this light, or in other words, the statue itself turns into light.

……

"boom--"

A crashing sound that touched the soul suddenly appeared in Offa Square, Sevington, and even all time and space that could be affected.

Hearing this voice, Xia Duo suddenly felt endless joy in his heart, as if everything was settled, and such unexpected emotions should not have appeared on him.

Especially at the moment when the pioneer scepter is being held in his hand.

The Pioneer Scepter can be immune to the influence of most mind spells, even if it is not immune, it will respond, but now the Pioneer Scepter has no response at all.

This means that this is not an attack from psychic spells.

But such sudden emotions just appeared without warning, everything was so natural, so natural that Xia Duo couldn't feel even the slightest abnormality.

Still immersed in such joy.

Even while rejoicing, he could still think about the outcome of the princess's ceremony and his series of itineraries in Severton after the ceremony.

It was as if this joyful emotion was entirely performed by some kind of external force through his body.

This kind of phenomenon didn't just happen to Xia Duo alone. The pioneers around him, one by one, were all affected, all smiling, and filled with a strange joy.
