Arcane Lord

At this time, if it were a person who lacked combat experience or had poor mental quality, he might have screamed and fallen from the sky, and then been smashed into meat patties.

But Xia Duo is not any of the people mentioned above. Not only does he have a calm mind, but he also has considerable combat experience. He can be seen calmly activating the power of his blood and turning it into a ball of light gas.

The height that was falling sharply stopped instantly. Although he returned to human form the next moment due to the influence of the unknown spellcaster's spell, the height at this time was enough for him to land safely.

After landing, the real blow has just begun.

But at this moment, Xia Duo also has free time to avoid the opponent's dispelling magic and at the same time track the opponent's lock. This is the disadvantage of detection spells. Once noticed by the opponent, it may be reversely tracked.

The unknown caster may know his identity, but he doesn't know that he is now a Grand Arcanist, not a senior Arcanist on the surface.

He was able to follow the invisible link on the ninth level of the magic network in a more calm manner and trace the past. In just an instant, Sha Duo gained another perspective.

It was a place similar to the Gray Eagle tribe's ancestral temple, except that what was enshrined on the altar was not a bird-shaped wooden sculpture, but a living green vine that was still blooming.

Around the altar, eight elves formed a circle and were casting spells together. While Sha Duo tracked the other party's location, the other party also discovered Sha Duo's discovery.

Through the effects of detection and anti-detection spells, the sights of both parties seemed to penetrate the invisible void and collide fiercely.

With just one glance, Xia Duo felt the other party's determination. He immediately realized that either the Langas people or the Green Vine tribe must have a big secret.

And it is very likely that when he was searching for abnormalities in several major tribes, he was discovered by the elves, but the other party had been hidden until now.

Xia Duo was deeply troubled by this, and what was even more troublesome was that the opponent was currently inside the Green Vine Tribe, projecting the spell effects over a considerable distance.

Of course, he could also do this and attack the opponent from a distance, but this was similar to the practice of firing cannonballs at each other on Earth. It was impossible to determine the outcome in a short time.

Even if he is a Grand Arcanist, it won't work, let alone that the opponent is led by two senior mages and assisted by six elite mages. Their spellcasting ability is not inferior to him.

And once it is delayed for a long time, the opponent may have another trick, so a quick decision must be made.

In fact, the moment he "met" the eight elf mages, Sha Duo realized that they would never be the real backstage of the Green Vine Tribe.

Because the eight elf mages are all wood elves, not moon elves or gold elves, although the social status of wood elves in Erlan is not as low as in Cormanthor due to the large number, it is not much higher.

If the person who appeared in the Green Vine Tribe at this time was a Wood Elf High Mage, then Xia Duo might think that the other person was the real backstage of the Green Vine Tribe.

But if you are not even a high mage - or rather, you don't have one - how can you have the confidence to provoke yourself?

Even if they don't know their identity and background, conflicts with Lord Nese can easily lead to them being harshly criticized in their own country.

They hurt their own people more harshly than their enemies. This is not a phenomenon only found in human society. It also exists in elven society.

From this, Xia Duo judged that there must be a bigger backstage behind this group of elven mages, but he didn't know much about the situation in Yeerlan, and he was far less familiar with Cormanso.

For a moment, he couldn't guess what kind of force the other party belonged to.

However, in a flash of thought, Xia Duo had already decided to start a big fight. In this situation, it was obvious that the elves were the first to make a move. He was not afraid even if it caused trouble to the Northland Alliance.

In Netheril, no one would criticize me harshly, but these wood elf mages were not treated so well.

Maybe their enemies at home are just waiting for this excuse!

…

With this in mind, Shado immediately took out the teleportation scepter that he had prepared for Everesca's trip. Speaking of which, this scepter has not been officially used since it was completed!

There is still a distance between the two sides now. Xia Duo is worried that if he rashly shows stronger strength, the other party will give up and run away. He can use magic items to paralyze the other party.

Therefore, Xia Duo engaged in a long-distance spell-forming confrontation with the opponent while waiting for an opportunity to make a surprise attack.

In long-distance spell confrontation, formed spells are usually projected from the spell source to a distant place. This method of spell confrontation cannot interfere with, remove or even counter the opponent's spell casting process.

It can only be counteracted by spells with opposite effects, or the spell effects can be forcibly erased by sorting out and calming down the magic web.

The former requires real-time analysis of the actual effects based on the specific elements of the Magic Network String combination. Unless you are very familiar with your opponent during the battle, it will be difficult to succeed.

Although it is difficult, as long as it is successful, even if there is a slight difference, it will at least defeat the purpose of the opponent's spell.

Although forcibly erasing the effects of spells seems much simpler, you must know that not all spells can be forcibly erased by suppressing the magic network.

Even if it can be erased, depending on the level of the spell, the actual situation may be that part of the effect still exists, or it may not have any weakening effect, and the opponent's spell completely affects you.

The direct cause of accidents that usually occur in spell laboratories is usually this - the spell calming field is effective, but not fully effective.

As long as the protection limit of one's own protection spell is exceeded, accidents will inevitably happen.

…

Although Xia Duo engaged in this long-distance spell confrontation with the opponent because he was looking for an opportunity to make a surprise attack, the level of danger was not much less.

After all, the opponent had the upper hand before, and most of the protective spells that originally existed on Xia Duo's body had been stripped away. At this moment, he was like a man in cloth armor fighting a bayonet with a man in full steel armor.

Due to the long distance, the flexibility of both sides has an upper limit. Therefore, even if Xia Duo is a great arcanist, he may overturn here as long as he is not careful.

Of course, it's very simple to leave. Just leave. The other party can't stop him.

It's just that if you leave now, don't think about having such a good opportunity again in the future.

What's more, elves are very sensitive to human attitudes. If you retreat, they may push further. Next time, even if Xia Duo wants to have a good negotiation, it may not work.

Only when the conflict occurs in the present tense and the other party is held down and subdued can there be a prerequisite for further dialogue.

Shado guessed that maybe there was no secret at all in Langas Plain, and it was because his snooping made the elves feel offended, which led to the current situation where they would start fighting as soon as they met.

If this is the case, then he would be unjust.

But in any case, it is true that the strong have a higher right to speak.
