Lord of Arcane

Chapter 376 Earth Elemental Spell Lifting
After returning to the territory, Xia Duo handed Mott to Layton for arrangement. After all, Saville Territory and Priest Tus lived in the Temple of the Lord of Radiance. Perhaps they had a tacit understanding with each other.

After that, Xia Duo hurried to the river-digging site. It seemed that he was only delayed for a day in Savile Land, but with the addition of the projected plane, this time was too long.

Fortunately, when projecting the plane, Xia Duo considered this situation, and wrote down the things to do when returning to the main plane in his notes. Checking the progress of the river digging site was one of them.

The river channel is related to the timely construction of the element channel. The element channel can calm the magic net riot in the ruins of the myth. The tower of time is in it, and the energy consumption is also related.

There is a link here, and it is even related to the question of whether the 500 river workers can go back before Savile gets the autumn harvest.

The three arcanists from [Hidden Hand] agreed to help, and were even willing to contact other arcanists. The exact number, Xia Duo remembered after reading the notes, was four.

There are a total of seven arcanists, which is really a very powerful boost.

From the Wolfburg River in the west to the ruins of the Mystery in the east, all the trees on the straight line where the element passage is located have already been brought down, and now they are cleaning up stubborn roots, stones and the like.

The help of the seven arcanists is also used here.

……

This "element channel" is not long, only more than one mile. With Xia Duo's physical fitness, even if the road conditions in the forest are not good, he came to the vicinity of Misuo in a few minutes.

Through the various visions of the magic net riot, the figure of the Tower of Time can be vaguely seen.

As for the small part of the elemental channel that goes deep into the Mystery, a deep ravine has been dug out. Of course, this was not dug by those river workers, but a big khaki guy!
"This should be the element of earth!" Xia Duo was very curious as he looked at those big men who were made entirely of ordinary soil but could move.

This reminded him of the scene where he summoned water elementals in the river, but the water elementals he summoned were silly and cute, with almost no self-awareness, but the four earth elementals here were different, they would dig river channels.

Of course, it is not accurate to describe it as "digging". A more accurate description is that after these spherical earth elements rolled over the ground, their bodies became bigger like a snowball.

Then roll to another place, throw away the excess soil, and then roll back with the body that has shrunk, and so on.

"Lord Xiaduo is interested in these earth elements?" Egbord Arcanist walked over and said proudly.

And following his words, one of the earth elementals even stretched out his arms, making a punching motion similar to a human being.

"I'm very interested, Your Excellency Egbord, would you like to sell this spell?"

Xia Duo was very envious. Summoning water elements was actually a bloodline ability. Of course, it would be perfectly fine if it was transformed into an ordinary spell.

It's just that what was summoned was still that stupid and cute ball of pure water.

Knowing the essence of the spell [Element Summoning], Xia Duo really wanted not the spell itself, but the summoning contract!

He can study spells by himself, but the earth element is not created by magic, but summoned from the elemental plane. The earth element with self-consciousness and the ability to understand orders is a rare treasure.

There are too many jobs suitable for them in Xia Duo territory!

"Lord Xia Duo, I'm very sorry, this spell is our [Hidden Hand] exclusive spell, it is a gift from the goddess, if Lord Xia Duo——"

"That's such a pity!" Xia Duo hastily interrupted him. He was still quite cautious about beliefs and joining a religion.

At present, there is a saying in Netheril - the thing that prevents the archanist from going further is faith. Most Netherese believe in the Lord of Radiance. I don't know where or where this rumor originated.

Of course, this is not what Xia Duo is worried about, and he believes that the great arcanists will not believe this, but anyone who has a certain understanding of the nature of magic will not believe this.

What he was really worried about was that he didn't want to get involved with God so early. It was one thing to use priests, but it was another thing to believe in himself and join the religion.

After all, in this world, God is real.

……

Extending from the ravine in the Mysuo ruins is the element passage, and now a short section has been cleared. There are earth elements "digging" in the ruins, but outside is the excavation by river workers.

And a little farther away, three arcanists faced each other two by two, standing in an equilateral triangle. The tree roots that needed to be cleaned were in the middle, and they were currently casting spells together.

The arcane energy flowing with each other was linked together, slowly but firmly lifting the tree roots between them. Xia Duo walked a few steps closer, and he even heard the sound of the roots being pulled away in the soil.

Then with a "bang", two thick tree roots that looked like strange things were thrown to the south of the element passage. The root system was very complete. The thinnest one was about as thick as a little finger, and the thickest one was as thick as a human thigh.

What a big tree!
"The roots of the two trees are lifted at the same time, how much strength does this require?" Such a thought flashed through Xia Duo's mind.

There is a story about Lu Zhishen uprooting a weeping willow on earth, but it was just a story. He once searched the Internet specifically, wanting to know how much strength it would take to uproot the not-so-thick tree that was shown on TV at the time.

He couldn't remember the specific value, but he clearly remembered that the unit was "ton".

And now the strength of the three arcanists lifting the tree roots should be at least tons!

Seeing that Xia Duo had been watching the three arcanists casting spells, Egbode thought that Xia Duo was interested in this spell again, so he introduced:
"This ritual spell was jointly researched by the few of us, and it is specially used to pull up tree roots from the bottom. If Lord Xiaduo is interested, I think they should agree to sell it!"

"No, no, no need." Xia Duo quickly refused.

He couldn't help but glanced at Egbold, he didn't look like a profiteer, did he really think he didn't understand?

It is possible that the spells may be specially used to pull the roots of trees, but in essence, they are still a series of transformation spells such as [Mage Hand], [Levitation], and [Flying].

What changes is the state of motion of the object.

It is not uncommon for three people to cast spells together. This is not fundamentally different from the apprentice helping the mentor to conduct spell experiments. There is also a proper term in the field of magic, which is called synergistic resonance.

The word ritual magic came from the elves, and Xia Duo knew it very well.

"Could it be that an intermediate mage in his 20s can't explain his understanding of magic?" Xia Duo couldn't help laughing at himself.

However, when he thought that Niya was also in her 20s, but she had already become an arcanist, he lost interest, and he didn't want to waste time here.

This time he didn't meet the other three arcanists, which made him a little regretful. He once again expressed his gratitude to the four arcanists for coming to help, and then Xia Duo left here.

And judging from the cleaning speed just seen, it won't take long to clean up all the roots and stones on the straight line of the element channel.

Without the obstruction of tree roots and stones, it would not take long for a river engineering team of 500 people to just dig a river channel of more than one mile.
