Arcane Lord

So, Xia Duo asked hesitantly: "Teacher, are you too sensitive? If the elves want to restrict us, why not do it before the project starts, instead of when the project is about to end?"

It's not that he doesn't believe in Iolum, but out of rational thinking, the independent arcane fire device is now basically ready for practical use.

What is lacking is more stability testing and detail optimization in the production, installation, debugging, and practical processes.

Isn't it too late for the elves to put forward restrictions now?

"I also hope that the elf's proposal has nothing to do with us, but unfortunately, I just made a shallow prophecy, and the results show that the elf's proposal is very related to our project and has a great impact."

"How could this happen? Did the elf notice something?" Broder asked doubtfully.

"I want to know too! The only good thing now is that Cormanso's proposal was not passed at the Northland Alliance meeting, but -"

Iolum sighed deeply and continued: "Just in the morning, I learned from Badigal that Elfaran had sent hints of interest in the proposal through the Netherese embassy in Erintal. Do you know what this means?"

"Ilfaran and Cormanso have come together?" Brod asked.

"That's not the case, but on this issue, they obviously have common interests. Not only them, but also Ye Erlan and Danzo, they all showed interest in this proposal, especially Ye Erlan, who expressed support at the time."

"this--"

Not only Brod, but even Xia Duo was a little silent. This was the joint suppression of the latecomers by the first-moving countries, and it did not waver just because the two sides were currently allies.

It's interesting enough to be able to give a hint in advance.

The elf magic system is relatively mature, and various advanced technologies are mostly preserved in old papers and relics, but the Nese magic system is relatively immature and needs continuous improvement.

For various advanced technologies, even if they find inspiration and reference from elven magic, if they want to be completely transformed, they have to resort to a lot of experiments.

If large-scale magic activities are restricted, wouldn’t it mean that the future will be bleak?

Of course, what worries Xia Duo even more is the elves' definition of large-scale magic activities, and how to determine whether there are large-scale magic activities, which requires extremely sophisticated detection methods.

Thinking of this, Shado quickly asked Iolum, "Teacher, what do the elves mainly refer to the large-scale magic activities? Did Badigal mention how the elves judge whether this exists?"

"Mainly refers to magic activities involving the tenth level of the Magic Network. Cormanso said that such magical activities will cause irreversible damage to the Magic Network. We all know that the Magic Network has a tendency to recover on its own, but we want to refute Cormanso's statement. This sentence is also very difficult, because it involves magic activities on the tenth level of the magic network, and the traces will take longer to recover. "

"Teacher, that's not all!" At this point, Brod suddenly interrupted, "They didn't even consider that arcanists can take the initiative to sort out and repair the magic network."

"Yeah, why would they take the initiative to consider us? Even if they do, they will only consider our shortcomings and how to restrict us!"

Iolum sighed again and continued to explain to Shado, "As for how the elves judge whether there is a large-scale magic activity, haha, they proposed two plans -

"One is to install a monitoring tower in an area with a lot of magic activities, and the other is to have the elven chief priest who masters special magic make a preliminary judgment, and then the Northland Alliance sends a joint investigation team for verification."

After saying that, Iolum added, "Human countries don't have to worry about not having human supervisors. As long as they are druids, they can go to the main temple of Cormanso to receive divine baptism and master that special divine technique. "

"What a good Comanso!"

Shado couldn't tell for a while whether Cormanthor was aware of the clues about the independent arcane fire device project, or whether he was just doing nothing to cause trouble for Netheril after the underground war.

It is absolutely impossible to agree to the monitoring tower plan. In normal times, it may just be a monitoring tower. At critical moments, it may not be the coordinates of spell guidance, or the special components of ritual spells.

This is simply like burying the enemy's thunder in your heart in advance.

As for the priestly inspector, it is actually useless to object. Since Cormanso made this proposal, I am afraid that the inspector has already been prepared.

The only difference is whether the subsequent investigation will be conducted openly in the name of the Northland Alliance, or whether it will be conducted secretly in the name of Cormanso.

Xia Duo never expected that Cormanzo would be so disgusting once the underground war was over!

"What is the Seven Towers' attitude on this matter?"

"The attitudes towards this matter within the Seven Towers are not unanimous, but the opposition still accounts for the majority. If this matter is not handled well, it is not impossible that Netheril will fall apart!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Duo fell silent again, but Brod, who was still a little confused, asked strangely: "This matter is obviously not good for us, why can't the Seven Towers unanimously oppose it?"

"It's bad for us, but it may not be bad for the Seven Towers!" Xia Duo said pointedly.

The Seven Towers Family has a great cause. Even with these restrictions, it is completely possible to move large-scale magic activities to other dimensions, but others do not have this ability.

Not to mention whether it is possible to find a sub-plane suitable for large-scale magic activities, the additional research costs caused by the differences between different planes alone are not something ordinary organizations can bear.

Do you dare to move the results of the alien plane directly to the main plane without verification?

For example, if it is an independent arcane fire device, it may be possible if it takes another route [True Independent Arcane Fire], but now this [Fake Arcane Fire Plan] is just a larger magic item, and you need to consider different planes. The difference.

Once the proposal to restrict large-scale magic activities becomes a decision, there may be a mage tower organization giving up the Northland, or even giving up the main plane.

Or they are willing to bear higher costs and not leave, and make up for it with benefits from other places.

But no matter what, this thing is a very bad thing. Even if the Seven Towers eventually becomes the winner of Netheril's last take-all, their strength will inevitably be damaged.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why the opinions within the Seven Towers cannot be unanimous!

…

In Iolum's study, the three of them discussed for a long time, but in the end they could only sigh three times.

The next day, good news came from the Seven Towers. Ilfaran sent a priest of the main god to demonstrate the special monitoring magic. Of course, it was actually to assist Netheril in research on shielding monitoring.

The news is indeed good news, but from another perspective, it just proves Irfalan’s attitude on this matter!

It was only because Netheril was an ally that he had to express his feelings.
