Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1461 Cannot recommend candidates for hospice

I don't know how long it has passed, Xia Duo suddenly noticed that the light in the study seemed to have changed slightly, and he was sensitive and immediately realized that Iolum had returned.

As soon as he looked up, Iolum really appeared at the door, his face was a little tired, as if the discussion just now had consumed a lot of energy.

"Teacher, you are back!"

"Well, if you want to know anything, just ask, I just happened to have something to do with you!"

When Iolum said this, Xia Duo couldn't help feeling a sudden, and intuitively told him that the matter of Iolum looking for him was also related to Akoala.

After thinking about it, he still asked the question that he had planned before: "I heard that King Akola's crown is not feeling well recently, and there may be accidents. Is this true?"

"it is true!"

Iolum gave an affirmative answer without hesitation, and then said: "This matter is quite tricky. The arrival of the Akola envoy apparently hopes to sign a mutual defense agreement with Netheril, but in fact it is the hope We took the initiative to treat his father, yes, the envoys they came this time are the sons of King Mian!"

"Then what's wrong with Akoala Crown King's body? Even though Akoala is gone now, the basic background should still exist, right? Can't they solve it by themselves?"

Akola is the first batch of emerging countries after the end of the Crown War. It is much earlier than Jarenstad, one of the components of Comanso. Of course, there are also countries such as Uvelen and Sluvand in the same period. .

Among them, Wuweilun has long been destroyed, and Sluwende is now a vassal state of Yeerlan.

Sluwende was able to fight to the death with Ye'erlan at the beginning, and was besieged by Ye'erlan and Sharwen at the same time, which led to the defeat, but the defeat was not completely defeated, otherwise it would not have its name now.

This is a bit like Germany on earth. After the defeat, it was not completely dismembered and digested by the victorious country. Instead, it was feared by the victorious country and suppressed at all times.

Akola was able to "occupied" a corner of the Riestal Forest without being destroyed by Cormanthor in the process of rising, which shows that they have some background.

Xia Duo felt that it might be possible for Akoala to seek external allies, but it should be impossible for humans to directly rescue their Crown King.

Leaving aside the question of whether it can be saved or not, what it means to be saved by human beings alone, presumably King Akola will not fail to understand.

Couldn't it be the so-called King Mian who came here privately?
……

Regarding Xia Duo's many questions, Iolum heaved a long sigh, "Do you know that the Kelsek family, that is, the Akola Crown Prince family, has any reputation in Akola?"

Regarding this, Xia Duo is really not very clear. After all, Akola has been in a closed state before, and it was only after the establishment of the Northern Alliance that exchanges with the outside world began to increase.

So he asked curiously, "What reputation?"

"Corona of pure gold, troubled!"

Then, Iolum further explained, "Since the Kelsek family has monopolized the throne, its successors have almost died for generations.

"Among the current crowned kings of Akola, only his mother was able to die well. The other crowned kings of all dynasties either died in high magic rituals, were murdered by political enemies, or died in drow wars.

"However, in the contemporary king of Akola, the bad luck does not seem to have left. When he was young, he almost died because of a magic accident, and that accident had a very serious consequence - aging!
"Strictly speaking, there is no damage to the body of King Akola, it's just that he is dying, dying of old age!"

Having said that, Xia Duo understood that death is the inevitable ultimate fate of every life. If nothing else, King Akola has already used various methods of prolonging his life.

But even so, they couldn't live the normal lifespan of an ordinary elf.

It's really sad to think about it, Xia Duo has not yet reached the time when he needs to prolong his life, but this problem, one day in the future, he will also encounter it.

It's just that at that time, would he be "hungry" like King Akola, or would he face his own death calmly?
Or with the continuous advancement of technology, will eventually be able to achieve the point of immortality?

Of course, the king of Akola is not necessarily hungry, maybe he just doesn't want to see his family business being taken over by Comanzo, and wants to give future generations a more secure environment before he dies.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo almost understood the real intention of the Akoala envoy's visit this time, "So the Akoala elves have taken a fancy to the teacher's life-extending spell? Or even Master Conjenio's?"

"Yes."

Iolum nodded, and said another piece of news, "Just now we were discussing in the Gustav Tower, but Teacher Ain was also there, and he did not refuse the elf messenger's request."

Ioan was Conjenio, and Iolum had studied with him for a period of time, and even if he had achieved something, even surpassed Conjenio, he would still call him a teacher on most occasions.

When Iolum said so, Xia Duo almost had a premonition about the matter that he just said that he had something to do with him.

Sure enough, Iolum mentioned that matter next, "If there is no accident, we will agree to Akoala's request. At that time, we will need a trustworthy grand arcanist to go to Akoola to give their crown Wang cast spells to prolong his life.

"But among the people I trust, almost everyone's itinerary has received extensive attention from the outside world. Before the matter is completely clear, you need to act in secret. Therefore, I am going to recommend you to the Seven Towers."

Sure enough!

Although there is some deviation from Xia Duo's guess, it is not too far behind. He needs to take a trip to Akoala. Xia Duo does not have any repulsion towards this matter, on the contrary, he has some expectations.

After all, after this incident, he will appear in Netheril as a grand arcanist, and will become one of the "Fifteen Standing Committees" in Netheril's bright face, and become a pivotal figure.

But now is the critical moment for the research and development of the independent Austrian fire device. Let alone the delay when going out, it can be made up by working overtime anyway.

But if Cormanthor caught some clues because of this, it would be a bit of a loss.

Xia Duo told Iolum about his worries, and Iolum also frowned, as if a little hesitant, and said after a long time:

"Now is really not a good time to go out. I will ask the Seven Towers to provide anti-detection support."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to regret it again, and added a few words of explanation:

"Actually, I don't want you to come forward in this matter. Akoala had almost no contact with us before. Even now, we are not completely sure that there is no conspiracy. You must understand the hidden risks! "
