Arcane Lord

The other party seemed to be telling his companions about the situation on the Nese Arcanist's side, and even pointed at the Nese Arcanist who was fighting against Master Yeerlan on the stage.

Only he seemed to be discussing something, and his expression showed full confidence.

Looking at the high elven mages, they looked enigmatic and could not see any strange expressions. However, some of the great arcanists had obviously angry faces.

But he seemed to have thought of something and suppressed it forcefully.

Soon, the battle between Netheril and Erlan came to an end, and the Netherese side won, but similarly, the process of winning this victory was not easy.

Shado touched Niya's arm and sighed: "Every time, Netheril challenges first and accepts the challenge last. The form itself is very unfavorable, coupled with the deliberate targeting of Erlan and Cormanthor, [Spell Duel] It’s probably very difficult for Netheril to win.”

"yes!"

I don’t know since when, Niya’s hands have been clenched nervously. When she heard Xia Duo sigh, she couldn’t help but sigh, full of doubts, “How could this year’s snow melting competition turn out like this?”

As she said that, she looked at Xia Duo nervously, "Do you think there will be any accidents with [Magnificent Illusion] and [Arcane Puzzle]?"

Although the outcome of the Snow Melting Competition has nothing to do with Niya, she is still a part of Netheril. Although she doesn’t know what kind of interests are involved behind the Snow Melting Competition, she understands that Cormanthor cannot forcefully join in. Just to win a game.

Although Xia Duo knew that there must be interests involved behind the snow-melting competition, he could not imagine how big these interests were. Therefore, his answer to Niya's question was still conservative, "It is possible, but your teacher must have considered this a long time ago. Let’s not worry and watch the game with peace of mind.”

Having said that, it was mostly meant to comfort Niya. In fact, Sha Duo himself felt a little uneasy. The case of the instant destruction of the Arcane Empire in the projection plane was still vivid in his mind. Could this situation be a war now? What about the harbingers?

There is a well-known "Thucydides Trap" on earth, which means that a newly rising power will inevitably challenge the existing powers, and the existing powers will inevitably respond to this threat, so that war becomes inevitable.

Although Netheril can't yet be said to be rising, in Shado's view, this trend already exists. Elves are not fools. If you let you develop in vain, even if you don't engage in direct war, there will definitely be considerable consequences. It is impossible to remain indifferent to the extent of suppression and infiltration.

Perhaps we have reached a critical time point now.

Xia Duo does not have a God's perspective and cannot understand all the details, but judging from the information currently available, the possibility of war is still not small.

…

The first event of the Snow Melting Competition [Spell Showdown], there were 10 people from each of the three parties, and each person only competed twice, for a total of 30 games. On this first day, only ten games were completed, and until the afternoon, El Carmon announced early that today The game is over and will continue tomorrow.

On the way back, Xia Duo recalled the ten games just now. Of course, excluding the three fake games between elves, there were actually only seven games.

As the number of follower games increases, many situations become more obvious.

For example, when elves fight against humans, they will always try their best to attract human arcane masters to deploy arcane fire, and then harm the arcane fire; for example, some of the spellcasting habits of mages Ye Erlan and Cormanso, etc.

In terms of magic knowledge, Xia Duo was not disappointed. Although there were many elements beyond the level of the magic network that he could see, what he could see was also very valuable.

If it weren't for an arcane competition, which arcanist would be willing to show it to him so generously?

As they walked, Sha Duo and Niya discussed the details of the spell they had just seen. When passing by Master Greta's tavern, Sha Duo suddenly felt a little hungry, so he called Nia and walked into this more academic place. Salon Tavern.

This time, Xia Duo took the initiative to order food. While waiting for the food to arrive, Xia Duo heard the mage at the table next to him discussing the snow melting competition. The other party did not use a sound barrier. Of course, the sound was not too loud.

"Have you heard? In this snow melting competition, Yeerlan actually teamed up with Cormanso to target us!"

"No way, hasn't the relationship between Erlan and us humans always been very good?"

"Your news is out of date a long time ago. At the beginning of the year, Ambassador Ye Erlan made a big fuss in the Severnton Parliament. If they really have a good relationship, how could they do such a thing?"

"real?"

"Of course, I have a friend whose father is a lord. He attended the meeting of lords on behalf of his father and saw it with his own eyes!"

"well--"

…

While listening, the waiter brought Xia Duo's food. He casually cast a sound barrier, and then discussed in a low voice with Niya while eating.

"Look, many people now know that Netheril and Ellan are having a falling out. I really don't know what will happen next!"

"With the teacher here, it shouldn't affect us." Niya's tone was not very sure. Today in the arena, the teacher was indifferent to the elf's obvious crackdown on match-fixing. She was not sure whether the teacher could protect her.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of her great-grandfather, the great arcanist Xavier, who was living in another plane and was about to return. If her great-grandfather was here, he must be able to protect her.

However, the plane exploration array of the Tower of Time, as a time and space beacon to guide the return of the great-grandfather, has been activated for more than half a year, but why has the great-grandfather not returned yet?

Niya didn't want to go to the worst outcome. Now all she could do was wait. When it came to matters involving the fate of the countries, she, a little arcanist, could do very little.

Such a serious topic was not suitable to be discussed during a meal. The atmosphere became a bit dull. Xia Duo quickly changed the topic, "Let's go to the port with me later."

"Port? You mean the spell book?"

"Well, I'm going to make my own spell book. It will be easier if I have a ready-made one for reference. I haven't made your spell book yet. If I gain something this time, it will be half of yours."

"No, if you can really get the spell book, you don't have to give it to me." Niya suddenly became a little shy.

Xia Duo was a little strange and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Don't you want to study it?"

"Sorry, Xia Duo, although I didn't make a spell book, my father left his spell book to me before entering the stasis space. The make-up lessons ordered by the teacher have not been completed yet, and I don't have time to make another one in a short time. A book of spells."

"..."

Xia Duo's mouth opened slightly, but nothing came out. What else could he say? He had nothing to say.

Well, Xia Duo is actually jealous.
