Arcane Lord

At such a sensitive time, he naturally could not let the other party teleport over and immediately cast a spell to delay. Such an action immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding directors.

One of the directors who looked familiar to Xia Duo suddenly said, "Lord Xia Duo, the people who are teleporting here may be people from the Seven Towers. I am familiar with the characteristics of their teleportation spells."

"People from the Seven Towers? Are you sure?" Xia Duo asked.

After this question, the director stopped talking, but Xia Duo didn't care how the other party answered. After completing the [Delayed Teleportation] spell, he immediately began to transfer the teleporter's transmission node.

It is normally difficult to complete this operation immediately after the teleportation spell takes effect. Even with [Delayed Teleportation], the time is most likely not enough. Xia Duo only gave up after trying it initially.

If it is certain that it is an enemy, then direct destruction is more effective, but if it is possible that it is a friendly force, it cannot be so simple and crude.

In the flash of lightning, Xia Duo chose to cancel the other party's teleportation. Of course, even if it was relatively safe to cancel the teleportation, for the teleporter on the other side, there would still be a risk of being teleported into the stone.

Because even if the teleportation is released, it is impossible for him to appear at the original starting point of the teleportation. Instead, it will be offset. As for how much, it depends on luck.

Xia Duo did not subjectively increase the risk. As long as the other party is not too unlucky, there is a high probability that there will be no major problems. At most, it will be a few dozen centimeters off. I hope the other party teleports in a relatively open place.

After doing this, Xia Duo did not continue to rush to the experimental area. He thought clearly that the elf who rushed in would most likely not be able to come out. In comparison, the outside was more important.

"Whoever has the authority to block this place should stand up. Now is the time to show your role!"

After Xia Duo asked, there was silence at first, and then a director stood up nervously and said reluctantly:

"This area is full of important laboratories with extremely high authority. If you want to block it, Director Hatcherness or the Director of the Seventh Tower must be present."

"..."

No wonder!

Shado once again glanced back at the director who first spoke to him, and then began to contact Hechenis and Brundes, who had a fairly good relationship with him.

Hechenis did not reply, but Brundes immediately agreed, and at the same time brought a pretty good news to Shado, they had already started to block it.

Of course there is also bad news——

"Because the previous dead zone destroyed the tower spirit's perception in this area, the blockade cannot be completed at the same time. It will take a certain amount of time. I just received the news. Fizban is taking people to prepare for the gap on your side to guard against intruders. As a result, ——”

Of course Chateau knew what Brundes was talking about, but he didn't think he was wrong. It was just a misunderstanding caused by different systems and poor communication.

"Are they okay?"

"Everyone is fine. He should be arriving by now. Please ask Lord Shado to help take care of it. We have contacted Ilfaran and they said they have not sent intruders."

After sighing that he was indeed from the Seven Towers, Shado asked Brundes again: "Where is Cormanso? ​​Where is the investigator sent before?"

"Ambassador Cormanthor also denied that the intruder was sent by them. As for the investigator, the whereabouts of the other party cannot be determined in a short period of time, but I think the Cormanthor elves are not stupid enough to let the investigator force their way into Austria. Let’s join the French Federation!”

This is not necessarily the case!

However, Chateau did not refute Brundes's judgment. Even for himself, based on rational judgment, the probability that the intruder was not an investigator was higher!

…

After the communication was completed, there was a whistling sound from the corner of the corridor not far away. As soon as Xia Duo turned his head, he saw two middle-aged mages covered in robes rushing over in a storm.

One of them is Director Fizban whom Shado met when he came out of the Dead Zone not long ago. Shado has no impression of the other one, but judging from the unique patterns that are not concealed on the opponent's robe, there is no doubt that he is the same as Fizban. Gustavus Tower Mage.

When he arrived in front of Xia Duo, Fizban did not show the ferocious attitude of flying with the storm when he came. Instead, he apologized to Xia Duo, "I'm sorry, Lord Xia Duo, I just disturbed you."

"It's okay, don't be so rash next time."

The other party's attitude was so good that Xia Duo couldn't say anything. It was just a misunderstanding. After taking advantage, he immediately asked about the business:

"How is the situation now?"

"The tower spirit blockade will take about half a day. During this period, I will stay here to ensure that no more intruders sneak in!"

Fizban said the last sentence in a high voice, which attracted the side glances of the non-Seven Towers directors around him, but they wanted to refute but could not say anything.

"In that case, I'll leave this to you. I'll go take a look inside the experimental area."

To be honest, there has been no movement inside, and Shado is quite worried. In addition to the elves discovering their secrets, he is more worried that Iolum cannot control the situation. If this breaks out, he will probably be laughed at by Cormanthor for a long time!

Before entering the former dead zone and now the magic network riot zone, Shado took one last look back. He saw Hechenis and more people appearing in the gap in the blockade.

This made him feel more at ease to support Iolum.

…

After entering the riot area, Xia Duo was supposed to search along the normal corridors in the area, but the rioting magic network obviously didn't want him to be so relaxed.

The etheric mist that had not appeared before now began to appear on Xia Duo's path. At first, there were only wisps of it, and then it became more and more dense.

Contrary to the astral fog, the etheric fog can weaken various sensory abilities, including the most important vision, which caused great inconvenience to Shado's search work.

And more importantly, the appearance of the etheric fog indicates that this area overlaps with the etheric plane. If one is not careful, let alone continuing to search, he may end up wandering into the etheric plane.

In addition to the risk of getting lost, overlapping planes may also bring about unknown threats originating from the ethereal plane.

Shado once encountered a sneak attack by an etheric creature while exploring the ruins of the Innocent Mage Tower. The elusive little thing left a deep impression on him.

To this day, he still doesn't know what the etheric creature that attacked them was. He only knows that it is a small thing made of a force field, and its attack method focuses more on the spiritual realm.

This is an attack method that Xia Duo is very afraid of. No matter how good your external protection is, others will ignore you and attack your soul directly, which is very difficult to deal with.

Xia Duo really didn't want to encounter that kind of thing again.

But reality often does not follow people's subjective wishes. When he turned around a corridor and considered whether to search in another way, a shadow suddenly appeared in the pale ether fog.
