Lord of Arcane

Chapter 868
When Xia Duo and others accepted the task, Archmage Furstum clearly mentioned that after destroying the target tree, that is, the mythal node, it is necessary to bury the guiding beacon and guard it for a period of time.

How could the elves do nothing during this period!
Therefore, whether it is from a strategic point of view-to eliminate the war potential of Cormanthor, to force everyone to stand deeper on the issue of elves, or just to complete this mission.

Xia Duo hoped to eliminate more elf mages at the front, rather than giving them a chance to gather and cause more trouble.

In fact, after the teams buried the guide markers, they realized the problem and began to worry about the elves attacking later.

——The teams quickly arrived in place to build a protective position.

Although the attack of the elves is worrying, the human side is not without advantages. The most obvious point is that passive defense cannot be defeated in an instant, which gives the mobile team time to support.

A total of more than 50 teams defended more than 20 guiding beacons, almost two teams for one guiding beacon, and a team can actually be regarded as a great mage due to the existence of an intermediate mage.

Although this archmage is relatively rigid and rigid, when it comes to defense, rigidity and rigidity are not necessarily advantages.

In the past, the elves guarding the Mystic node were only two elite mages, which were equivalent to the high-level mages on the human side. They only took advantage of the Mysal node to change the magic net environment, so they could entangle with various teams.

Now that the Misuo node has been destroyed, even if there are still some influences of the Misuo node in the surrounding magic net environment, it is irrelevant to the overall situation.

The general trend is with me, as long as delay is enough, time is the best helper.

This is like the elves before. They were also stalling for time, but they didn't expect the humans to gather so quickly and cooperate so tacitly, so they missed the opportunity.

Xia Duo now only needs to learn from the elves' lessons.

What he is worried about now is the upper limit of the number of elves who can cast spells together. After all, in theory, the more people there are, the stronger the overall performance will be.

In addition, nearly 50 or so elf mages have escaped. Once the group strikes, it will be a big trouble.

Of course, in a short period of time, it is only trouble, not a fatal crisis. Now it depends on which side time is on.

……

As time passed little by little, the elves did not attack, but the pressure on Xia Duo's side did not decrease at all. After all, the unknown is the most terrifying.

Some people have already broken their spiritual links because of this, but now Xia Duo can't spare extra thoughts to reconnect them, just let those who have broken the link gather together to increase the chance of survival.

As for the people in the link, under Xia Duo's instructions, try to obtain and share all kinds of information around them as much as possible, with the focus on detecting the perception information of spells.

As for Xia Duo himself, in addition to constantly analyzing the various information shared by everyone, he guessed where the elves might be hiding, and even the target of the attack.

At the same time, he was constantly observing the more than 20 guide markers with the help of everyone's different perception perspectives, and trying to analyze something.

If you can know the time you need to guard, it is far more reassuring than waiting aimlessly.

……

However, what Xia Duo and the others didn't know was that when they buried the first guiding beacon, more than 20 battle mages in the camp had already started the real joint spellcasting under the order of Archmage Verstum .

In other words, this is a rather complicated ritual magic that needs to be matched with many guiding signs.

If there are elves here, you can still hear a lot of elvish words mixed in many spells that assist spellcasting. This is not deliberately showing off, but this is a compound magic that spans two different magic systems.

As the guiding beacons were taken out of the dimension bag by the people in front, the ceremony also advanced to a deeper level.

If Xia Duo could sense the situation in the camp at this moment, he would have discovered that the strings of the magic net in the center of the ceremony were densely packed into bundles, shot straight into the sky, and then swooped down to connect with the more than 20 guiding beacons together.

It is equivalent to artificially creating a network-like dense area in a relatively uniform and flat magic net environment.

At the same time, as the ceremony progressed, some unknown changes were gradually taking place in this dense area.

This change quickly attracted Xia Duo's attention. The movement was so loud that he couldn't help noticing it, but he didn't find the source of the change.

It's just that the magic net of the green field plane has become active, showing some highly ordered fluctuations, and some specific trends in the strings of the magic net.

It almost didn't take thinking, he immediately thought of the Mystic, but these changes were obviously related to the guiding signs they buried.

Although it is not the source, it is at least a very important part.

"Could it be that the Seven Towers have mastered the mysteries of the mythos?"

Xia Duo had to make such a guess, which is completely possible in theory, and the probability is very high.

After all, there are not a few ruins of mythos in Netheril. If the elves can gather more information, the Seven Towers might have already uncovered the mythos!
The current situation confirmed his guess even more.

……

Just as Xia Duo was guessing whether the Seven Towers had mastered the mysteries of the Mystic, and whether something happened to the elves, an illusory image of a golden elf suddenly appeared on a low hill where the four great arcanists stayed temporarily.

The great arcanists did not stop them, but smiled and looked at each other's frightened and angry expressions, and even Badigal said a little jokingly:

"What? Your Excellency Jellinis has figured it out? Are you going to give up?"

But Jerinis didn't care about Budigar's rude tone, but stared straight at the other party, and asked almost like an interrogation:
"Is it the descendants of the common people? How dare they give you the mystery of the myth?"

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not the descendant of the civilians you said, and neither are our Ilfaran allies. If Komanthor still has the old ideas left over from Arivanda, then you will definitely be punished by the whole Rejected by the Northern Alliance!"

Badigal scolded angrily.

The so-called descendants of commoners actually refer to the general golden elves, and sometimes specifically to the golden elves of Ilfaran.

As for other elves such as moon elves and wood elves, they were all inferior races in the concept of ancient Arivanda, even inferior to commoners.

This is the great elf imperialism of Arivandar.

It has been a while since Netheril and Ilfaran formally established diplomatic relations, and the archarcanists have indeed obtained a lot of black information about Arivandar and "the remnants of Arivandar" Comanthor from Ilfaran. material.

Saying it at this moment has a more righteous and awe-inspiring aura.

It's just that this is not so good for Jellinis. His expression twitched slightly, which even affected the stability of the magic image, and said coldly:
"Don't be complacent, how much can a group of descendants of common people know about the supreme mysteries, even if it can be taught to you, it will be of much use. What awaits you in front of you may not be flowers and sweet springs. Just wait and see, this is not over yet!"

After speaking, the image disappeared.
