Arcane Lord

After determining with Savile the focus of the next development of the Tower of Time Plane Exploration Center, Shado quickly turned his consciousness back to his incarnation. It was almost time, and it was time for him to go to Elder Larian's Golden Maple Manor for an appointment.

…

Jinfeng Manor is very close to Yunfeng Manor. One is halfway up the mountain and the other is at the foot of the mountain. Xia Duo has been to Larian several times since he bought Yunfeng Manor. Compared with the two, he still prefers being at the foot of the mountain. Yunfeng Manor.

The feeling on the mountain is too far away from the world. If elves often pass by the door of Xia Duo's Yunfeng Manor, then the Jinfeng Manor on the mountainside can be said to be inaccessible.

There were no guards patrolling along the way, and more were left to magic to manage. It was not until we arrived at the entrance of Jinfeng Manor that we saw more guards with a decorative function standing guard.

Xia Duo had been to Larian's house before. When he came here now, he didn't even need to identify himself. He was welcomed in by the housekeeper who hurried to the door after receiving the news.

Although there was no mention of a banquet, most of the elves' evening invitations were related to banquets, and Shado had long been used to it. For his part, he was wondering if Kalish would host the banquet to celebrate the founding of the Psionics Magic Society at Larian's house. .

However, if I think about it carefully, I feel that this kind of speculation is impossible to come true. Psychic magic is not welcomed in the North. Even if Everesca temporarily lets go of control, it will be so high-profile for an elder in charge of city security. There was a big celebration at home.

As a result, when they entered the manor, Sha Duo was informed that tonight was just a private banquet, only Elder Larian and him, probably just for the convenience of talking.

…

Perhaps because he was prepared, Xia Duo didn't wait too long after he arrived, and soon met Larian, who invited him, in a private family restaurant.

Since he could not eat normally in his current saint form, he simply "tasted" a glass of cold flame wine, and then got straight to the point:

"Elder Larian, I'm curious. Wasn't Evereska always wary of the spread of psychic magic? Why did Kalish suddenly allow Kalish to establish a magic society?

"And if I remember correctly, your granddaughter Lunasis once hinted to me that Kalish may be taking orders from Zhamdas in the south. Why now-"

Shado did not continue what he said next, but both parties knew that this was a question, asking whether Larian Everesca had reached any agreement with Zhamdas in private.

In this regard, Larian said with a serious face, "Evriska has never reached any agreement with Zhamdas, not even private contact! As for Kalish establishing the Psychic Magic Society-"

Speaking of this, Larian's expression became more solemn, "This issue is relatively sensitive and it is not easy to explain here. If Consultant Xia Duo doesn't mind, I will explain it in detail in another place. In fact, this is the real reason why I invited you here. .”

Larian said so, and Shado had no reason to disagree. After that, the two of them went to the underground of the manor, which was actually a secret chamber deep into the mountain.

After Larian set up the magical protection to avoid detection and prophecy, he asked Shado to review and set it up again, and then told the whole story:

"We guessed correctly before that Kalish was the chess piece used by Zhamdas to go deep into the North, but it was only recently that this fact was confirmed!

"Advisor Xia Duo may have doubts at this time, why he asked the other party to establish a psionic magic society even though he clearly confirmed his identity. There is a reason for this.

"Although Kalish obeyed Zhamdas in the past, now he no longer wants to be a puppet of the south, so he took the initiative to find the Everrisk Council of Elders to surrender, and brought a very shocking news!

"It was also because of this news that we agreed to establish the Psionics Magic Society, and even went one step further."

this-

Before coming, Shado considered many possibilities, but he never thought that Kalish would first obey Zhamdas and then surrender to the Northland. Such a big turning point must be related to the shocking news told by Larian.

Recalling that Larian mentioned that he had originally been invited to come for talks, Xia Duo couldn't help but connect it with the recent abnormal loss of the computing power pool gateway, so he quickly asked:

"What news did Kalish bring? Is it related to the alliance's public computing power pool?"

"As expected, Consultant Shado has a keen intuition. The news brought by Kalish is indeed related to the computing power pool. To be more precise, Zhamdas is planning to use the public computing power pool of our Northland Alliance to create a psychic magic artifact. "

Having said this, Larian looked at me with a strange expression and said, "Actually, the source of this matter has something to do with you, Consultant Shado."

"Is it because I destroyed an artifact of Zhamdas in the south? So now they want to get it back from me?"

Shado quickly realized that he had been attacked by a psychic master during his previous visit to Calimshan. That time could be said to be the closest he came to death.

So after dealing with the psychic master, he chose to destroy a main city in Zhamdas as a deterrent. Of course, it was also because he was originally curious about the power of the war spell [Light of Annihilation].

Anyway, various factors combined and he made that decision.

Each main city of Zhamdas enshrines an artifact, which is the source of psychic magic. Destroying the main city will inevitably destroy the artifact inside.

Calling an artifact does not mean it is a divine artifact, it is just a special magic item made by man. For example, the Nese scrolls also record many methods of making artifacts.

It's just that most of the methods in ancient times did not prohibit meat and vegetables and were useful. Those so-called artifact manufacturing methods were basically inseparable from blood sacrifice and killing, which seems a bit too evil now.

Zhamdas's artifact is similar. Shado was attacked by a psychic master in Calimshan before. The opponent trapped him in the mental world, but he killed him back and took away all the opponent's memories.

Among them are those related to the production of Zhamdas' psychic magic artifact.

If you want to create an artifact, you must sacrifice a psychic master who has mastered the world of mental images. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com In Xia Duo's view, the so-called artifact is essentially closer to a thoughtless and immortal psychic master.

Such a being does not have to worry about the risk of entanglement and sinking with other people on the spiritual level, and can always perform baptism ceremonies for others. It is also called the "psychic energy sharing ceremony" among psychic scholars.

People who have been baptized by artifacts and awakened their psychic talents will never be able to escape the influence or even control of the artifacts until they become psychic masters and have their own mental world.

In addition, the psionic master can also choose not to be independent and continue to share his mental energy with the artifact. In this case, the artifact cannot control the psionic master. Moreover, the psionic master also has the advantage that he can use his mental images and thoughts when he dies. Incorporate artifacts.

After that, whenever a new artifact is born, with the help of the surge of mental energy at the time of its birth, the echoes of the thoughts of the deceased psychic masters preserved in the old artifacts will have the opportunity to bring their mental world back to reality, completely Come back to life.

This is also the main reason why the world of mental images or the twelve artifacts are considered to be the roots of Zhamdas' psychic magic system.

Of course, there are only eleven artifacts now.
