Lord of Arcane

Chapter 497 The Art of Stuart War
Gilles Tower, one of the seven towers, is naturally extraordinary. Of course, this is mainly reflected in its height and influence, but when it comes to the ability of the Mage Tower itself, it may not be as good as the Tower of Time in many aspects.

After all, the Tower of Time was built in the last hundred years, while the Tower of Gilles was built in the more distant past.

Entering Giles Tower, Xia Duo saw apprentices who were coming and going, busy, and mages who were shining with magic aura and obviously carrying many magic items.

The overall number of people is much larger than that of the Tower of Time, especially the number of official mages. At first glance, they are even more than apprentices. Although Xia Duo can't tell their specific levels, it can be roughly inferred from the number of magic items on their bodies. one two.

High-level mages are probably no longer in the minority.

The great arcanist's attraction to mages is indeed great!
However, Xia Duo also deduced that the situation of the ordinary territory in the core area of ​​Nether might not be as good as that of the Tower of Time. After all, the closer it is to Sevington, the more likely it is that talents will be attracted.

It is estimated that except for the territory of a few great arcanists, the mages in those ordinary territories will all run away.Even if the Tower of Time is so far away from Severton, there will still be mages leaving.

Especially those with outstanding talents yearn for the realm of the Grand Arcanist, and it would be great to be able to get closer.

……

Soon, the "old acquaintance" Master Greta appeared in front of Xia Duo and Niya. After Niya left, Master Greta continued to take Xia Duo to the destination.

On the way, Grand Master Greta instructed: "The objects you want to train are ten arcanists from the Seven Towers. Her Royal Highness attaches great importance to this project. If you can make these ten arcanists win in the end, maybe you will be able to do so." Unexpected gains."

"Yes, I understand!" Xia Duo nodded and responded.

Maybe there is no reward now, just waiting to give it together after winning. Of course, if you lose, you may really lose it. In this case, Xia Duo must teach with all his heart, even if it is just for the reward.

Along the way, the two talked politely, and soon arrived at the training room.

This is a room of about 100 square meters. A huge chess board is engraved on the ground in the center, with two chess pieces of different camps on it.

At this time, there were two chess players standing in their respective commander positions, directing the chess pieces to fight back and forth. For the first time, Xia Duo saw that the plan he proposed was implemented, and the chess pieces were made so quickly.

Every chess piece here is a magic item, which contains a spell that can be repeatedly activated by the chess player, and all spells are relatively balanced, and only the side that moves first has a certain advantage.

But this part of the advantage is not absolute, and it may be wiped out by the contest between chess players.

In essence, this is still a magic duel, but with the addition of chess game elements. If you are completely at a disadvantage in the magic duel, then no matter how good the chess is, it is still useless if you can't get a piece.

So it is impossible to use ordinary people as chess players, they must be spellcasters.

"Everyone stop, Her Royal Highness has invited the creator of [Arcane Puzzle] for you." Archmage Greta shouted loudly.

Afterwards, not only the two arcanists who were performing training in the middle of the training room stopped, but also the other eight arcanists who were playing ordinary chess beside them.

Archmage Greta alone is not enough to order these ten arcanists, but she is Her Royal Highness's closest subordinate, and to some extent represents the princess herself. Of course, these arcanists dare not disobey.

In addition, it was due to Xia Duo.

Arcanists who have received the plan long ago and trained for many days always have a feeling that they are still unsatisfied. Although the rules of [Arcane Puzzle] seem simple, they feel that there is a very profound truth behind it.

The more I practice, the more I feel unfathomable, and at the same time, I am more interested in Xia Duo, the creator.

Hearing the words of Great Master Greta, an arcanist immediately cast a spell and teleported to Xia Duo, who couldn't wait for the few steps away. He first nodded to Master Greta, then looked at Xia Duo, and asked :

"You are Xia Duo, why are you so young? Did you really create this [Arcane Puzzle]?"

The young Xia Duo obviously did not meet their previous private guesses. They felt that it must be an old mage full of wisdom who could create such a profound chess game, not a young man who looked only in his 20s.

"My lord, I—"

"Wait!" The Arcanist who spoke before immediately interrupted Xia Duo, "Don't call me Sir, just call me Stuart, I'm from Moraine, tell me how you created this Arcanist It's a puzzle."

While talking, several other arcanists also surrounded him. Xia Duo was really nervous to be surrounded by so many arcanists at once, but he also saw that these people were not malicious, after all, they could represent Netherese I entered the snowmelt competition and must be the best of the seven towers.

Judging by their age, they are actually not much older than Xia, and they can barely be regarded as people of the same generation. To achieve such achievements, they must have spent much more time on magic than on intrigue.

In a sense, although they have mastered more powerful power, their minds should be much simpler than ordinary wandering mages.

Of course, Xia Duo would definitely not treat them as ignorant little white rabbits.

"Several, about the arcane puzzle game, I have actually made it very clear in the proposal submitted to Her Royal Highness, it comes from my hometown, a game used to simply deduce war, I just slightly modified it After a while, I dare not call myself the creator.”

"No wonder I always feel that [Arcane Puzzle] has a strange feeling. It turns out to be a war. It seems that Master Xia Duo, your hometown is very martial!"

Xia Duo smiled slightly, not only is he a martial artist, he has fought almost non-stop for thousands of years, and countless strategies and ideas have been born around the war, which is much higher than the realm of the so-called fighting nation.

One is more about showing off the bravery of ordinary people, while the other has already played war to the level of art, which is not in the same gear at all.

……

The meeting between the two parties went very smoothly, and then Xia Duo stayed in Gilles Tower, and went to train the ten arcanists every morning, and spent the afternoon in the library.

Although the authority is not high, you can also see many books that the Tower of Time does not have, especially some of the latest writings. Even if you only see a name, it is a gain.

In this way, time passed day by day, and Xia Duo became more and more anxious.

In Gilles High Tower, he couldn't spend half a day meditating, he could only do it in time, and the efficiency was much lower than when he was in Linshui Village, but even so, he was still making progress.

Even because of this faint sense of urgency, his efficiency per unit time has improved a lot.

Until mid-April, Xia Duo had been here for almost half a month. Judging from the arrangement of Gilles Tower, he may be required to stay until the snowmelt competition, but he wants to advance to the advanced arcanist in the snowmelt competition. It is a natural conflict.

At the end of the training that day, Xia Duo did not go to the library to read, but went to Master Greta to explain his purpose.

Unsurprisingly, the archmage refused, but Xia Duo also argued hard.
