Lord of Arcane

Chapter 3213 Demon Net Wound
Next, Shado, Philipa and other mages continued to detect and record the status of the magic network at the attack site. Until the sun set, the detection and recording of this one scene alone was not completed.

Elves don't like to work overtime, so Philipfa asked for the scene to be closed early. To be fair, Shaduo and even the Alliance Observation Group also participated in the closure work. Afterwards, they went to the other six sites one by one and closed them one by one.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the site of the first inspection and settled down in the temporary military camp outside. Xia Duo was assigned an exclusive tent. After arranging his avatar, he turned back to realize his original body.

He was late for today's blessing ceremony, and even missed the motorcycle design competition and the new student exam that he valued very much. Now he can only understand the situation from the subsequent report.

But it was only evening, and both Leighton and his secretaries were still outside. When Xia Duo returned to the study, he didn't see any report. He was afraid that he would have to wait until at least tomorrow.

As for Nia, once he came back, she didn't want to stay at the celebration any longer, so she found a chance to sneak back to the Tower of Time. When she saw Xia Duo, she couldn't wait to ask:

"What happened that made you unable to even attend the celebration?"

"The Illuminati attacked several magic weapon factories in Elan. The scene was tragic and the problem was very serious!"

"The magic weapon factory in Elan? What does that have to do with you?" Nia replied subconsciously, but she reacted the next moment and asked quickly, "Could it be that the Illuminati attacked the factories invested and built by the Tower of Time?"

"Yes, the Illuminati attacked a total of seven factories this time, including two that had been built and were in trial production, and five that were under construction."

Hearing that it was her own factory that was destroyed, Niya's face also showed anger. She couldn't help complaining: "Why hasn't the Illuminati been dealt with yet? Didn't they catch the murderer this time?"

"Let alone catching the murderer, we still don't even understand what happened at the scene!"

"What happened at the scene?"

"The Illuminati used some seemingly normal weapons, but it caused phenomena that people could not understand."

Xia Duo briefly described the on-site inspection results of the blue flame in the deep pit of the factory ruins in Elan. Niya was stunned for a few seconds before she subconsciously said:

"How can this be!"

"Yes, according to common sense, this is impossible, but it happened. If you don't believe it, you can go to Elan and see for yourself."

"So what weapons did the Illuminati use? Is there no guess at all?"

"I don't know what weapons they used, but I have a guess that may be the most likely explanation. Their attack accidentally coincided with a certain trend of the Dragon Madness Mystic Lock's collapse, and then the mutual influence led to the current situation."

Speaking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but worry. The reminder he gave to Philipa in Elan before was not deliberately targeting the Illuminati. Just like what he said to Philipa - it was enough that the probability did exist!
What he is most worried about now is that the Illuminati will discover that their weapons can trigger that strange blue flame, and then use this weapon to threaten the alliance or achieve some other purpose. In short, this is a huge trouble.

What he hoped most now was that the blue flame was just a coincidence and had nothing to do with the Illuminati, either directly or indirectly. Of course, this has been considered impossible by all parties.

Because blue flames appeared at every scene of the attack, it is difficult to explain it as a coincidence.

"Is that blue flame really unsolvable?" Niya asked with concern.

"Based on what we know so far, it is indeed true. It can devour matter, energy, and the magical items that connect the two. It seems that there is no way to escape being devoured by that strange flame."

"No, if that kind of blue flame is really so unsolvable, then the main plane should have been swallowed by them. Why didn't I see that kind of blue flame in Netheril?"

Nia keenly sensed the loophole in Shado's words. Indeed, if that kind of blue flame could devour everything, it would have devoured the entire main plane from the moment it appeared.

"I really didn't explain this question clearly. Although the blue flames have shown the ability to devour everything, they are still bound to the site of destruction caused by the Illuminati and have not spread out."

"Then why is this?" Niya asked again.

"I want to know too! If we can figure this out, maybe we won't have to worry about the threat of the blue flame, and we can even conduct further research on it."

As for why the blue flame that could devour everything was bound in the deep pit, Xia Duo actually had his own guess -

He felt that it might be related to the magic net, or even that the blue flame might not be the direct cause of the magic net's damage, but rather a result of the magic net's destruction!
His guess could perfectly explain why the blue flame did not spread, because although the magic net outside the deep pit on Elan's side was rioting and somewhat tangled, its macro structure was not damaged.

However, this speculation also brings up a new problem, that is, the damage to the magic network was not discovered just this time. Whether it is the collapse of the maze or the advancement of the Nether mage to the arcanist, it will cause damage to the magic network.

Why is there no record of that blue flame in the past?
Judging from the scope of impact alone, the impact of the collapse of the maze is the greatest. When many mazes collapse, they will even cause irreparable damage to the magic network.

But even so, there has been no record of this kind of blue flame in the elven world, including in the projection plane, and Xia Duo has never seen any related records.

To answer this question, perhaps we have to point the finger at the Dragon Madness Mystery Lock. The scale of the previous mysteries was too small. Even if they collapsed, they might not have much impact, at least not to the point of destroying the world.

However, the Dragon Madness Lock is only a small aftermath of the collapse process, but it has caused climate anomalies in the North and even in a larger area. If it collapses completely, the destruction of the world (destruction of life) is almost inevitable.

Perhaps only the collapse of a maze at the level of the Dragon Madness Maze could cause enough damage to the magic net to produce that kind of blue flame.

Following this line of thought, the possibility that the blue flame was caused by the Dragon Madness Lock increased a bit!
"Life is difficult!" Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh.

If the final collapse of the Dragon Madness Maze resulted in the ground being washed clean by blue flames, then the ending would be too tragic!

This is not just the extinction of life, even the main plane itself may disintegrate and then be completely annihilated in the void of the etheric layer.

If you are lucky, you might even leave behind a brilliant crystal. If you are unlucky, you will get nothing!
