Arcane Lord

"After many years, a new Grand Arcanist has been born in Netheril, and the power of the Arcane Federation has once again grown. Now, let us pay tribute to Skoum Hermanir and Doraithan Hawke. !”

After speaking, Congenio stood up first and saluted the two great arcane masters. Afterwards, everyone in the hall saluted the two men in the same way.

After Skoum and Lord Hawke returned the favor, everyone sat down again. There was no voting situation as Shado had imagined, it was just a formality.

Afterwards, Congenio continued: "New forces are constantly emerging in Netheril today. As an old man who has almost watched Netheril develop, I feel very pleased.

"For me, the Austrian Union is not just a place to work, it is more like my home. I have watched it improve little by little over the years. If I can, I am still willing to serve it. a hundred years.

"But in recent years, I have felt increasingly weak in energy, and I can no longer take care of it. For this reason, I have found a suitable successor to serve me as a successor to the Arcane Federation, to you, and to all spellcasters." !”

As soon as he finished speaking, there were waves of low calls in the hall, and the directors of the Austrian Law Federation headed by Hechenit all called out the name in unison:

"Eolum!"

"Eolum!"

Afterwards, both those who knew and those who didn't knew cast their eyes on the person next to Congenio. Even Xia Duo behind that person also received a lot of looks.

And Congenio’s introduction continued——

"Hundreds of years ago, there were many orc tribes in Netheril. With the support of those powerful tribes, the orcs launched waves of orcs again and again, bringing countless sufferings to Netheril. The end will all be attributed to one person!

"In the past hundred years, there have been 125 major battles, 742 regular battles, and countless other large and small battles. Finally, one hundred and twenty years ago, after the Battle of Thunder Peak, all the organized orc tribes in Netheril were completely wiped out. "

At this moment, most of the people in the hall were born after the Battle of Thunder Peak, but they are no strangers to that battle, or even the countless previous beast-killing battles.

After all, in the past, Iolum only wiped out most of the large orc tribes, but not all the orcs, and it was almost impossible to wipe them all out.

As long as orcs exist, someone will mention the past beast-destroying wars, and during the beast-destroying wars, Iolum's name is definitely the one that is mentioned the most.

At this moment, Iolum's name was called out by everyone again. Even Xia Duo subconsciously read it twice.

But at the same time, Xia Duo is still relatively calm in his heart. For now, except for his contribution to the beast-killing war, Iolum seems to have no outstanding achievements.

When it comes to the beast-destroying war, it seems that apart from Iolum, there is no one else to talk about. As the saying goes, "One general can make a thousand bones wither", it is not that there is no one else, but——

Except for Iolum, almost no one could participate in this war that lasted for nearly a hundred years, let alone survive until now. They either died of old age or died in battle.

Countless human lives and animal lives were accumulated in exchange for the name "Iolum"!

At the same time, Xia Duo also thought of the honorary title "Thunder Mage", which was to commend the outstanding people in the last and most brutal battle in the war to destroy the beasts - the Battle of Thunder Peak.

Rodit's father, Lord Collins, inherited this title, and if nothing else happens, Rodit will continue to pass it on in the future.

There was "Iolum" and there was "Thunder Mage", but the names of those who had died were almost never left behind. Xia Duo knew a few, but most of those names were hidden in the pile of old papers in the library and were not widely known.

It seems that only heroes and only living people can be remembered by the world and history. This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

…

Just as Shado was deep in thought, Iolum had already stood up amidst the calls of everyone. He solemnly took the pen and scroll handed to him by Congenio, symbolizing the arbitration responsibilities of the president of the Alfa Federation. , and then issued his first declaration as president:

"From now on, I will continue to abide by the principles of neutrality and impartiality, serve Netheril, serve the Arcane Federation, serve you, and serve all spellcasters!"

Then, a strong magical aura erupted in the hall.

Xia Duo, who was close to the wall, had an even stronger sense of this, as if he was sitting at the source of a spell that was about to explode. If it were another situation, or if he didn't know anything about it, then staying away immediately would be his only choice. .

But fortunately, this was the venue for the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting of the Arcane Federation. Congenio also reminded him before the meeting, so he could continue to sit where he was with peace of mind.

The effect of the magic soon showed itself. What changed was not a certain person, but the venue hall itself——

The entire outer wall of the circular hall rotated nearly 30 degrees!

Or to be more precise, the entire interior of the hall rotated nearly 30 degrees. However, everyone in the hall used themselves as a reference and did not feel any movement on the ground. It was as if the outer wall was moving.

In the center of the rotated hall, Congenio was originally facing the door, but now it is replaced by Iolum, which seems to symbolize the transfer of authority.

The subsequent meetings were all chaired by Iolum, but Congenio did not leave immediately. But next time, I am afraid that I will not see this old president who has been in office for hundreds of years!

"The era of Iolum of the Alfa Federation has come, can Netheril be far behind?" Looking at the back of Iolum in front of him, Shado thought thoughtfully.

Living with such a person in the same era is a misfortune for any talented spellcaster. What is even more unfortunate is that with the existence of various life-extending spells, Iolum's influence will last longer.

Xia Duo considers himself not a very smart person. His current achievements are more due to the fact that he received a systematic modern education in his hometown before time travel and has a high level of scientific literacy. This allows him to move more smoothly in the field of magic.

This is actually because the current Netheril magic system is relatively complete!

In terms of sorting out, exploring and applying existing knowledge, Xia Duo, who has experience in another world and has high scientific literacy, is like a duck in water.

New spells such as [Photography] that involve the principle of material change, and new magical creations such as the Magic Scroll Printing Machine that integrate earth experience and magic world technology.

Even various improved spells, improved magic items, and improved production methods.

It seems that he has achieved a lot, but when it comes to exploring cutting-edge theories and cutting-edge technologies, he has made few achievements.

Things like the background communication of the Magic Network, permanent magic, and the materialization of the Magic Network's strings are either obtained from the projection plane or researched by members of the Tower of Time.
