Arcane Lord

With the princess ascending to the gods and Giles Tower entering the Skoum era, there is no one who can truly count as Shado's backer.

Although he has become a senior arcanist, he is not afraid of the great arcanist to a certain extent, but he is just not afraid, and he still cannot beat him.

At the same time, the influence is far inferior. If a great arcanist really comes to visit, who will speak for him?

Byron, Jenna maybe.

The former has a favor, and with the relationship between Niya and the princess, Byron should be able to speak for him, but if the favor is used too much, it will be exhausted.

The relationship with the latter is more based on cooperation. As for Jenna's original words of allies, Sha Duo would not take it seriously.

In the absence of equal strength and equal influence, whether you are an ally or not can only depend on the mood of the other party. If you are in a good mood, maybe it is; if you are in a bad mood, then it is not.

Shado's visit to Congenio this time was to some extent because he wanted to hug him. After all, when it comes to real influence, in Netheril, even the Lord of Radiance may not be as good as Congenio.

As for Iolum, his influence will be more reflected in the future. If [Mither Energy Core] is successfully born, his influence in Netheril will definitely surpass Congenio.

So should we agree or not?

First of all, what Sha Duo can be sure of is that neither Congenio nor Iolum has any ill intentions towards him, otherwise they would have just killed him on the spot.

Hypocrisy may be disguised for a while, but it cannot escape the wash of time. And if hypocrisy lasts a lifetime, what is the difference between it and true goodness?

In fact, thinking of this, Xia Duo had already made his choice, but what made him a little regretful was that Iolum didn't really want to accept him as a student, it was just a temporary shelter.

Although this is not bad, he will probably not have access to the Mysel Energy Core, at least not until the relevant technology matures and is open to other Grand Arcanists.

Sure enough, it is always human nature to look forward to Shu!

"Your Excellency Iolum, it is my honor to be your student!"

"Haha! It's an honor for me to have an outstanding student like you, even if it's just temporary!"

"..."

Sure enough, the Grand Arcanist is not so easy to fool. Of course, this is also because Sha Duo is now a senior Arcanist, and he has half a foot in the field of Grand Arcanist.

If it were Xia Duo himself, he wouldn't accept such a student.

And if he had just advanced to become an arcanist, then this might be possible.

Of course, if he was just a newbie who had just advanced, how could he meet these two people!

…

Even if they are temporary students, the atmosphere in the study has become more relaxed. The relationship between Iolum and Congenio is similar to the relationship between Shado and him.

Close, but with a certain distance, it is an ideal relationship between spellcasters.

Next, comes the real harvest of Xia Duo's visit.

Questions prepared in advance were thrown out one after another. Most of them were about the basic theories of magic. Of course, there were also various experiences, ideas or methods in the research process.

Even on some details of spells that did not involve secrets, he tried to consult the two great arcanists.

And because of the new teacher Iolum, Shado boldly asked some difficult questions related to the plane field.

In this regard, both Iolum and Congenio gave answers one by one.

The same question, the answers from different perspectives gave Xia Duo a feeling of enlightenment. He did not expect that the two great arcanists were really willing to answer questions that could be called "confidential technology".

For example, in the transformation of the demiplane, Sha Duo learned the two methods and methods of "element infection" and "root reshaping" from the two great arcanists.

Even the creation of a demiplane. Although it was difficult for him to ask any meaningful questions because he had not yet come into contact with this knowledge, the two great arcanists still briefly explained to him the principles of creating a demiplane.

This can no longer be said to be a gain, it is simply getting rich overnight!

…

This visit lasted from early morning to afternoon. During this period, Iolum left twice because of matters related to the Offa Federation. At other times, he participated in discussions and explanations together.

But all the feasts in the world eventually come to an end.

"Master Congenio, Teacher Iolum, thank you both for your hard work. This visit has benefited me a lot. When I think about returning to the south soon, I feel really reluctant to leave."

"Ha ha!"

Iolum smiled heartily and said, "It's okay to be reluctant to leave. Although the southern region is comfortable, it is still far away from the core of Netheril. If you have time, go back to Severton."

"yes."

Xia Duo nodded. With the existence of teleportation and teleportation circles, it was only a short distance from the southern border to Seventon.

However, he is not planning to come to Severington in the near future. He has a lot of things to do next!

…

After bidding farewell to the two elders, Xia Duo, who had already walked to the teleportation room, suddenly remembered that this year's [Nese Scroll] reading permission was not used, so he quickly turned back.

After passing through the small trading area inside the Arcane Federation headquarters and entering the library, Sha Duo followed his memory and came to the door of the secret room where the [Nese Scroll] was kept.

Of course, the real secret room is not the stone door that Sha Duo saw in front of him, or even the room behind the stone door, but a hidden demiplane!

This is just a fixed portal.

The process of calling the tower spirit, submitting the application, passing the verification, entering the secret room, and becoming a level 5 member of the federation is no different from the previous process.

However, Xia Duo had no time to think about those issues. At this moment, his mind was completely attracted by the dozens of golden pages placed on the circular desk near the wall in the circular room, which were only slightly smaller than A4 paper. !

This is [Scroll of Resistance]!

Seeing them again, Shado still found it difficult to calm down. It was these that made Netheril what it is today.

Although this is inseparable from the wisdom and dedication of countless Nese spellcasters in the past, after all, this thing has been in the hands of the elves for countless years, and in the end it only ended up collecting dust.

But its own role cannot be ignored.

…

After calming down a little, Xia Duo picked up the first page he had read before and entered a state of concentration. The silver characters on the golden page began to change rapidly, forming paragraphs of text with practical significance.

Although he did not recognize the words, he could naturally understand their meaning as long as he held the golden pages.

Of course, in addition to words, there is a more direct and more fundamental expression, which is to demonstrate the author's creative intention through different changes in the strings of the magic network.

No matter what kind of writing, language, or magic system, in the final analysis it is a way of expression based on facts and essence.

The magic string method is even easier for Xia Duo to accept than expressing it in words.
