Lord of Arcane

Chapter 465 Shadow of Victory
The next development is far from Xia Duo's expectations.

Soon, there was a tense atmosphere in the Judicial Division. Osk's official position was a clerk of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was responsible for handling the internal cases of the Judicial Division transferred from the Supervision Division.

It is mainly about review and trial. The Judgment Department is merciless to outsiders, and naturally it is not polite to its own people. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is such a department that connects the upper and lower, internal and external.

Of course, in reality, Osk does not have much work, and most of his work is usually handled by Xia Duo.

Because of this, Xia Duo was able to learn more about the inside story.

But lately, things have been too much.

Due to the fact that the Arcane Empire achieved a turning point in the front battlefield some time ago, the recent incidents of "demons" breaking through the border enchantment have increased many times compared to the past.

Of course, the "devils" did not come here for tourism, to solicit corruption, attack and destroy, or even reveal their real bodies to develop beliefs at the bottom. Although such incidents often occurred in the past, they are far less frequent than recently.

The great sage has already delivered a speech, saying that now has reached a critical moment in history, and the final victory will be won by surviving this battle.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the judicial department or other departments, they have put all their efforts into full operation of the organization machine, and tried their best to calm down the domestic riots, so that the front line can achieve more victories without any worries.

In the office of the Internal Affairs Department of the Judicial Division, Xia Duo threw the paperwork on the table as if discouraged, then leaned back and closed his eyes.

Although he was only doing some paperwork, he had hardly been idle all day long. If it wasn't for the occasional documents with magical auras, he would have thought he was still on Earth 996.

Although the documents sent over were all sorted, but from the few words inside, some movements of the outside world could be glimpsed.

The biggest movement is probably that the border fortress city of Sarando was attacked by many "higher demons". The opponent successfully destroyed it.

The chain reaction brought about by this is not only the emergency retreat of the frontline troops, but also how many scattered "demons" sneaked in.

In addition to emergency repairs, it is also necessary to guard against further damage by "demons".

Even clerks like Xia Duo received a special task—anyone, as long as they can put forward a useful suggestion for the improvement of the border barrier, even if there is only a little bit, they can immediately join the research institute and get the full support of the empire.

Along with the quest, there was also relevant information about the first-generation enchantment. To be honest, Xia Duo couldn't understand it, but it clearly had an elf style in it, and it should have been researched from the elf fan lock.

The Arcane Empire doesn't know how to obtain the mythos technology, but in the field of mythos, the elves are experts, and the magic of the two sides is completely different from the same system, so it is not easy to fully absorb and apply it.

The main plane has not blocked the knowledge of the elves, and Xia Duo also knows that a major feature of the mythos is the permanent change of the magic net. Even if the carrier disappears, the mythos still exist, although they exist in the form of ruins, and they still It can continue to be used, but the border enchantment here in the Arcane Empire cannot do this.

This is probably the so-called core technology.

For some reason, Xia Duo suddenly had a bad premonition. On the surface, the Arcane Empire had already gained the upper hand in the balance of war, but the border enchantment was a big problem.

The so-called border barrier actually does not have any direct protective effect, it is more of a monitoring and restriction. Today, the border barrier of the Arcane Empire uses a large number of mage towers as nodes, which can monitor the traces of any unauthorized persons and restrict flying, Teleportation, invisibility.

It is called a border enchantment, but in fact, it covers the entire territory, and it is only named because most of the nodes are located on the border.

Once the barrier fails, the "higher demon" can drive straight in without any hindrance.

In the past, there were also "higher demons" attacking, but every time such an incident happened, the Arcane Empire would try to wipe it out at all costs. In addition, whenever a great arcanist was near the end of his life, he would also enter the demon barrier to launch an attack. suicide attack.

After joining the Judiciary, Xia Duo was able to learn about such an inside story. Every time he saw such a record, he had to sigh that the Arcane Empire was really strong!

In addition, the number of grand arcanists in the empire is not more than 20 on the surface, but more than 40, most of them are in the research institute, and only when their lifespan is near the end will they go outside to become a deterrent on the surface .

In other words, the more than 20 great arcanists on the bright side will all die in the battle with the "demon" in the end.

At the same time, Xia Duo also understands why the Arcane Empire does not have life-extending spells. If life-extending can be done, how could it be so rigid? There will definitely be peace, but after 1000 years of peace, can the Arcane Empire still develop like this?
He even speculated that the Arcane Empire probably didn't have life-extending spells, but was destroyed artificially. Anyone who dared to study it was a public enemy, and it became a taboo from generation to generation.

At this moment, Xia Duo couldn't help being extremely curious about the great sages of the past, what kind of person made a group of great arcanists willing to become fans, and even gave up their lives.

Xia Duo knew most of "Eddie's" memories, but he still couldn't get into that imperial emotion, nor could he understand what these imperial mages were after.

But the longer I stayed here, the more I learned, and Xia Duo no longer held prejudice against the empire as he did at the beginning. Even such an almost perverted birth policy may be just to cope with the consumption of war.

……

The judiciary is busy with affairs. During this time, Xia Duo is here almost for food and lodging. After a long time, he feels exhausted physically and mentally, but everyone else seems to have been injected with chicken blood, so he can't behave differently. .

On this day, Osk called Xia Duo out alone, "Eddie, I have seen your performance during this time, but the war between humans and demons is long-term and protracted, and the higher-ups have also found that the recent atmosphere is not right , have already begun to stop this state, go back and have a good rest for two days, there will be more cruel wars in the future!"

When he said this, Osk turned his gaze to the distance, as if a war was taking place there.

Xia Duo looked at the other party's line of sight, there was nothing there, but he still liked the holiday, but he needed to take a good rest.

Back in the office, Xia Duo saw a few clerks like him starting to pack their things, while others still looked busy. It seemed that they came in batches even if they were on holiday.

Back at the residence, Xia Duo first applied for access to the college library the next day, and then fell asleep.

……

The next day, when he came to the library, Xia Duo found that there were a lot more people inside than when he came last time, most of them gathered in a corner of the magic area, and even a few people were reading the same book together.

In the crowd, he saw a familiar figure——Galin, his colleague in the trial division and also a clerk.

At this moment, Jiazheng was holding a book and staring at a page, frowning. Xia Duo walked over and softly called out, "Jialin!"

"Ah, it's Eddie! You also came to check the information on the border enchantment?"

"That's it."

Xia Duo didn't expect that the other party came to see this. It's true that the other party is a high-level mage, but Xia Duo is also a high-level mage. He didn't say he couldn't understand the information sent by the above, at least he couldn't read more than half of it. I understand, Xia Duo is not optimistic about the other party's constructive suggestions.

After talking for a few words, Xia Duo randomly picked up a book related to enchantment, and went to the meditation method.Compared with border enchantment, or even the survival of the Arcane Empire, he is still more interested in the so-called meditation method.
