Lord of Arcane

Chapter 649 Whether to upgrade
Early the next morning, Niya went to Severton alone to report the situation to the princess. Drow assassins were found in the territory of Nether, and they were still searching for weak points in the land lines. Of course, such a big matter should be reported in time.

If you want a tall person to be on the top in time, it won't be so that people don't know anything. Although the possibility of this is not great, in this case, it is even more necessary to report in time.

Except for some things that could be sampled separately, all the belongings of the drow assassin, including his body, were packed together and taken to Severton by Nya. (The scimitar has two handles, which can be regarded as sampling, and one handle is kept)
As for Xia Duo, he went back to Linshui Village. The fleet that came from Severton and introduced by Belleira had already unloaded his new citizens and started the return journey. town of ville.

The fleet this time was composed of eight ships assembled by three chambers of commerce, transporting a total of nearly 1000 people, which was the largest number of people transported at one time since Xia Duo obtained the [Silver Ring Badge].

In terms of time, if nothing else happens, this fleet should be able to ship once again this year.

At the same time, Belera's fleet should be able to ship once more this year, and the four chambers of commerce that Savile leads here working for Xia Duo should be able to ship their fleet twice more.

This is also the reason why Xia Duo asked Leiden to plan the residential area for nearly [-] people, because if everything goes well, by the end of this year, the Great Xia Territory will have nearly [-] people.

This approached Savile Territory almost at once. Savile Territory now only has 5 to 6 citizens (not including foreigners), but Savile Territory may not be able to spare 1 people for development at one time.

After all, the mature territory has reached a relatively balanced state in all aspects, and the temporary transfer of so many people will definitely affect the normal production, life and business.

It can also be seen from this that Netheril's support for the pioneers today has enriched the population of a new territory almost at once.

If there is no support and only rely on time to grow naturally or slowly attract, then the Savile collar is the best example. It has only grown from a few thousand people to 5 to 6 people in the past century.

Although there is a lot of "credit" from the orc tide, even if there is no, the natural growth rate is not acceptable to Xia Duo.

……

Due to the sudden influx of nearly a thousand people into the territory, Xia Duo temporarily stayed in the territory. As the lord, he was the best support for his subordinates and the people there.

However, he was not idle, or could not be idle at all. In the process of studying Feld's spell book, it was actually a review and summary of all past knowledge systems.

Because most of the bridging experiments are essentially "super-class" content, if there is no solid foundation, let alone bridging experiments, the results of the feedback from the [Appraisal Technique] may not even be analyzed.

During this period of time, Xia Duo has faintly felt that if he wants, he should be able to get in touch with the sixth layer of the magic net through the [Ring Ascension Trial].

This is a kind of self-confidence after the foundation is complete, and the reason why he didn't try to upgrade was actually because he was worried, because once he came into contact with the sixth layer of the magic net, the arcanist would also enter a brand new stage.

At this time, once the Austrian fire is "extinguished", if you want to recreate the Austrian fire, you can only wait until after the legend.

Netheril is not without arcanists who accidentally "extinguished" the arcane fire before becoming a great arcanist, thus stuck in front of the legend, and became an archmage who was depressed for a lifetime.

The talent of an Arcanist does not necessarily exceed that of a Legendary Mage, but just at the 5th ring level, he created his own Arcane Fire, thus possessing the potential to become a Great Arcanist.

Although Xia Duo is confident that he can become an archmage (level 8 and above), Legend has never expected it. It can be said that the Austrian fire is his greatest reliance on becoming an arcanist. (Great Arcanist is also considered Legendary Mage, but has more Arcane Fire than ordinary Legendary Mage)
As long as it survives enough years, even a pig can slowly become civilized and become a great arcanist.

It is not impossible for Ao Huo's miniature magic net to develop into a magic net covering an entire plane even in the wild.

……

In Xia Duo's view, [Australia Fire] is the highest achievement of Netheril's magic system. The essence of Arcane Fire is the string of the magic net, that is, the magic net itself. An arcanist with Arcane Fire is almost a small God of magic.

And unlike the god of magic born from the magic net, the arcanist created the arcane fire himself. Although it is still weak for the time being, its theoretical development prospect is wider than that of the god of magic.

Of course, Xia Duo still doesn't know what kind of existence a god is, and this is just a speculation based on what he knows so far.

Austrian fire has such potential, and once lost, he cannot guarantee that he will become a legendary mage and get it again, so how could Xia Duo not care about the gains and losses of upgrading!
At the 5th ring level, even if the Austrian fire is lost, it is just a re-creation, wasting some time for the natural growth of the Austrian fire. Compared with the growth brought by the upgrade, the natural growth brought by time is almost negligible.

Therefore, even when he suddenly heard the news about Dragon Calamity and Drow, Xia Duo didn't think about upgrading immediately, because once he upgraded, there was no turning back.

Before Xia Duo thought about it, he kept the current state. To study the essence of the magic net in depth does not necessarily need to be exposed to the depth of the magic net at the same level. Pure theory is also possible.

Similarly, theoretically, a level 10 mage can also cast 6-level, or even 9-level, 10-level spells.

The so-called [Ascending Ring Trial] raises an original low-level spell by one level, or in other words, expresses a high-level spell through low-level elements, so as to get in touch with a deeper magic net.

It can improve one ring, and theoretically it can improve multiple rings.

But a theory is a theory after all, it is not easy to go up one link, and if you continue to go up, it is almost a geometric level of difficulty.

For example, in theory, a level 1 mage can also cast 9-level spells, and express 1-level spells through the elements of the 9st level level. If only a 1-level mage performs the operation, it may take a year to continue casting spells, or even It takes longer to succeed.

And can a normal human being not eat or drink, concentrate on casting spells continuously for a year?

It may not last for a few days.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for a level 1 mage to study theories or spells at the 9th ring level only in theory.

Xia Duo's situation is better. He is now considered a level 10 mage (arcanist does not count the individual spellcasting level, it is just an advanced profession, and the essence is still a mage). Level 9 mages are much more convenient.

Maybe you can study like this until you are sure to become a great arcanist, and then directly upgrade in one step.

But the upgrade brings not only the convenience of research, but also the power that Xia Duo values ​​very much. The deterrent power of a level 10 mage is completely different from that of a level 1 mage, even if that level 1 mage can already research level 9 spells.

(If you can successfully cast a 1th-level spell as a level 9 mage, you will be able to directly contact the ninth layer of the magic net and become an archmage)

To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question!
Before becoming an Arcanist, Xia Duo never thought that one day he would be troubled by such a problem, and only when he truly became an Arcanist and possessed the Arcane Fire, would he be more interested in the Arcane Fire. Thank you!

Just like being generous when you have no money and being stingy when you have money.
