Lord of Arcane

Chapter 991 Unusual Calm Two New Divine Art

Originally, Xia Duo wanted to talk to Rodite about the ruins of the mage tower in the era when Genis discovered the era after the celebration, but now he can only give up temporarily. It is estimated that Rodit is not in the mood to explore the ruins at the moment.

As for the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, Xia Duo didn't go there again. Fortunately, before the celebration, he sent over a batch of communication instruments that he brought over this time.

As for the follow-up negotiations on the new contract for the supply of raw materials, it can also be placed in Savile Town. The Mingshui Chamber of Commerce's Saitos management authority in Savile may not be enough, but it is just a few more layers of transit.

Under the circumstances, Xia Duo didn't expect more.

……

Due to the large number of territories in the northern core area of ​​Netheril, it was unavoidable that extra problems would arise. Xia Duo and Niya had to use the Nether River as a clue to travel along the river.

After so many twists and turns, he finally returned to the southern border and the Tower of Time at dusk when the setting sun was about to disappear.

Compared to ordinary people, this kind of speed is considered extremely fast, but to an archmage or a senior arcanist, or even a grand arcanist, it seems very slow.

Moreover, most of the teleportation along the way is carried out by Xia Duo. If it is all led by Niya, it may be later.

Now Xia Duo has mastered a teleportation spell with a level of 7, but even so, it cannot allow him to teleport from Severton to the south at one time.

He speculated that the reason why Nether mages use the 8th ring, a node without iconic spells, as the watershed between high-level mages and archmages, may be that there is a qualitative leap between 8th ring spells and 7th ring spells.

Maybe it's reflected in the efficiency of transmission, maybe it's something else.

Xia Duo studied the consumption of spells of each level when he casts spells purely with his own arcane energy without the external magic net supplying energy, and speculated that the energy level increase between the 8th-level spells and the 7th-level spells is between 2 and 4 times.

In fact, the 7th and 6th rings are also between 2 and 4 times. From the perspective of the energy level difference, there is no qualitative leap.

Of course, it may also be a normal change after a quantitative change, and it is called a qualitative change only because it reaches a certain artificially set limit.

But in any case, Xia Duo's desire to become a senior arcanist has not diminished, but has become more urgent.

After all, in the current situation, becoming a senior arcanist is not only an improvement in personal strength, but also a great improvement in political status in Netheril and the Seven Towers.

Moreover, compared with the former, it is the improvement of the latter's political status that can enable Xia Duo to gain higher resistance in the future possible turmoil.

……

The day after the celebration, there was little news from Sevington, despite the old adage that no news is best news.

But Xia Duo felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, and this situation was more like the last bit of calm before the storm.

He tried to contact Belleira, and learned that Belleira also left Severton on the day of the celebration, and followed her father back to Shibodden Territory.

As for what happened to Severton these two days, Belleira didn't know anything.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo finally realized that there were very few people he could contact in Severton, and only Greta and Pelokan were considered friends.

The former is because of Niya's relationship, while the latter has common interests.

Others may also be able to get in touch, but after all, it is difficult to ask Xia Duo some questions, and the other party may not be able to answer them.

"It seems that the only way to contact Pelokan!"

In fact, since returning to the Tower of Time, Niya has tried to contact Greta many times, but after only half a day, there is no news from Greta at all.

I don't know if it's because I'm too busy to go back, or if something happened and I can't go back. It's because of this kind of unknown that people are particularly worried.

After sending out the message of greeting and inquiry, Pelokan quickly responded, but his reply disappointed Xiaduo——

"Everything is calm in Severton, there is nothing unusual!"

After that, Xia Duo didn't ask any more questions. Since the other party said that there was nothing abnormal, he asked again and again, wasn't he saying that he had abnormalities.

……

In this way, Xia Duo and Niya have been waiting in the Tower of Time until the third day, and there is finally news from Severton. It is nothing else, but the monthly magazine of this month sent by the Arcane Federation.

In fact, counting the time, it is now mid-January, and the monthly magazine of the Austrian Law Federation should also arrive, but at this time point, it seems quite meaningful.

In fact, this is also the case. In addition to routinely notifying the Arcane Union's open teleportation circle pass key in this monthly magazine, there are only things related to the sacredness of the princess.

There is not a single piece of daily news about Sevington, Netheril, or even the surrounding countries in the past.

Therefore, the content of this monthly magazine is also extremely scarce, and Xia Duo completely accepted all the information from Ta Ling almost instantly.

There are roughly two points to note-

First, the Austrian Law Federation announced to the outside world that the imperial princess Sia had successfully ascended to the gods and became a great god of development and protection, who will protect all Nether people.

This is very strange. Generally, such news involving the whole country should be conveyed by envoys sent by the Severton Council to various places.

And it is not uncommon for the Severton Council to use the archmage as a messenger, and it may not be much later than the monthly magazine of the Austrian Federation.

From this point of view alone, Xia Duo speculates that there may be a problem with the council, of course, it may be that he has a lot of things, and he would rather think too much.

The second point of this monthly magazine is to inform the territories that those who have sensed the new holy power after the princess's ascension can go to Severton to receive more professional training for pioneer priests and guardian priests.

This is also very strange. Priests can indeed join the Arcane Federation, but the Arcane Federation does not have the authority to issue such orders, or in other words, notifications are not acceptable.

From this point of view, there may not only be a problem with the Severton Council, but also the Austrian Law Federation!

In addition, the monthly magazine also included some introductions to the divine arts of the two new priests. Xia Duo paid a little attention to the [Regional Detection] of the Pioneer Priest and the [Immunity to Death Damage] of the Guardian Priest.

The former can detect resources and threats in an area on a large scale, while the latter is to hang one's life in layman's terms. As long as one accepts this magic spell, before the magic spell expires, no matter how severely injured one is, one will not die.

It's quite practical, but Xia Duo is more concerned about what happened to Sevington than these two magical arts!
However, nothing useful can come from fantasy. Xia Duo is going to count the number of new priests appearing in the territory first, and then use this topic to inquire from the Arcane Federation.

Regardless of whether or not to send someone to Severton for training in the end, at least it is right to have a number on your side.
