Arcane Lord

After the demiplane experiment accident, the Mage Tower no longer has upper and lower levels, at least not in the eyes of explorers like Xia Duo.

Everything is on the same plane, you just have to pass through a few areas of thicker but still clear enough ether fog.

A private residence they went to this time was located behind a piece of etheric fog. Basically, the thicker the etheric fog, the weaker the existence of the main plane.

It can even be said that in the future, these areas may only consist of the etheric plane. By then, areas in the main plane space after the fog, such as this private residence, may really become an island-like existence.

The isolated island in time and space may not fall back to the main plane until the ruins area is completely separated from the etheric plane.

Of course, it is also possible to fall into other material planes.

…

Soon, the five Xia Duo people were standing in front of a private residence. Compared to the library and warehouse, this area had obviously more personal decorations.

Such as the existence of scratches similar to the anchor points on the doorway wall used for constant magic alert, and the vine decoration that gradually grows from the upper edge of the door frame and grows downward along the left and right door frames.

Or more delicate floors, decorative lamps, etc. than other areas.

From the elf books in the library, it can be seen that the owner of this mage tower has a strong sense of identification with elf culture. At the same time, his personal relationship with some elves may also be quite good. Otherwise, how could he obtain so many original books? Where are the elf books!

As for the overall decorative style inside the mage tower, that is secondary. Elf culture was in the mainstream hundreds of years ago, even after Master Nese gave up elven magic.

Even now, elven culture is still very popular in Netheril and accounts for a large proportion of artistic expression.

The owner of the private residence area where the five of Sha Duo are currently located should also be deeply influenced by elven culture. Sha Duo is deeply worried about this.

If humans want to truly surpass the elves in the future, in addition to the magic field, the cultural field must also keep up, otherwise they will always be in the spiritual colonization of the elven culture.

"Lord Chateau, do you want to start?"

"Well, let's get started!"

After all, he is a high-level mage of the Seven Towers. After the previous two practices of stripping the element pool and linking them, Rodite and others were able to actively cooperate with Sha Duo.

Although Sha Duo did not need them to be too proactive and just listen to the command, Rodit and others' thoughts on stripping the element pool link in the spiritual link also brought him a lot of fresh inspiration.

Therefore, Xia Duo did not reject Rodit and the others' active inquiries. Even during the breaks in casting spells to sort out and guide the energy of the elemental pool, he was also willing to communicate with Rodit and the others in the spiritual link.

There was no surprise in stripping away the link to the element pool, and there was no difficulty in breaking through the protection system. The only surprise was that the door of this private residence was not open like the library and was only protected by spells.

Unlike the warehouse, the door is a movable stone sliding door.

The door here is completely integrated with the wall. If it weren't for the door frame and the decoration on the door, it wouldn't even be considered a door at all.

A similar situation exists in the Tower of Time. This is actually a magic gate, but compared to the library's protection method that focuses on creation spells, the magic gate here is based on change spells.

In short, the door here will automatically open when the mage tower is intact. If the protection system fails, it can also be used as a stone wall to achieve a certain protective effect.

At least for high-level mages and below, there is probably no good way to deal with this wall.

But for Xia Duo, this wall can only be regarded as a small accident to adjust the monotonous cracking process.

"Lord Xia Duo, what should we do now? Do we want to change to another place?"

Abner's question interrupted Shado's thinking, but he didn't care. He just waved his hand and said, "No, if the same happens next time, will this exploration operation have to end?"

"Then...Lord Xia Duo, what are you going to do?"

"Just deal with it-"

With that said, Xia Duo used the rebellious petrification field, and the water element summoned by the power of blood, penetrated into the stone gate.

Almost instantly, the upper end of the stone door softened and drooped, and the lower end also became bloated. After a while, the stone door that was originally connected to the left and right walls turned into a stone cave covered with mud.

After that, Xia Duo didn't care whether the mud would contaminate the portable space, and directly overlapped it with the portable space, then separated it, and collected the mud, leaving a relatively spacious aisle.

In fact, if the stone door was not integrated with the surrounding walls, but was an independent structure, then Xia Duo would not have to soften it first and would just take it away directly.

After the passage, there is a private residence in the true sense. Similar to the Tower of Time, it also has a reception room and then leads to several rooms.

Xia Duo went in and sneaked around. Except for the area suspected of being a magic laboratory, which had completely disappeared, the other areas were still relatively intact.

Except for a few handwritten notes scattered in the study, he could not find anything else of greater value.

It stands to reason that after the demiplane experiment accident, the owner of the Mage Tower gave this area special protection, which means that there were people here at that time, but now let alone people, not even a single bone has been found.

Sha Duo could only speculate that the owner of this private residence might have been busy in the magic laboratory at that time, and then something unexpected happened, and he disappeared with the magic laboratory.

Of course, it is also possible that there was no one here at the time, and the master of the mage tower protected a lonely person, but this possibility is so small that it can almost be ignored.

"Let's go, there's one last place!"

"Um."

…

The last relatively stable element pool fusion area is also a private residence. The door is still a stone door driven by change spells and integrated with the left and right walls.

An accident also occurred this time, but this time the accident was much more exciting than the last integrated stone door!

In fact, when Xia Duo broke the protection system of the private residence area, he vaguely noticed that there might be some kind of living creature inside the residence that had the same authority as the protection system.

When the protective system was broken down and the stone door was opened, a humanoid creature with its whole body burning with flames and constantly emitting large amounts of fire elements rushed out screaming.

Xia Duo's expression at that time was wonderful.

He was originally prepared to communicate with an ancient mage who had sneaked into the present from the past, but he didn't expect to encounter this thing.

Maybe this is the price of sneaking from the past to the present!

"Hildalanna, bitch! Hildalanna, cousin!"

The roar of this fireman who was suspected to be an ancient Nese mage actually broke into the spiritual connection between Sha Duo, Rodit and others.
