Arcane Lord

Hearing this, Iolum's face turned gloomy for a moment. The behavior of Ambassador Cormanso and the investigator was too eager, and it was hard not to think of the elf mage just now.

Of course, the suspicion of Ilfaran cannot be ruled out. After all, the elf mage just now was a golden elf. If it was a moon elf, it might not be Ilfaran, but who can say for sure!

Even if they are allies, there will be a day when they fall out. Thinking about how close the relationship between Netheril and Erlan was back then, there are many examples of the union of humans and elves, but when interests are involved, they fall out.

Although the relationship between the two countries has now eased, it is impossible to go back to the past. Of course, there is no need to go back to the past. After all, it was said to be close at the beginning, but in essence it is still a vassal relationship, which is not as independent as it is now.

"Elf! Elf!"

Iolum murmured, then his eyes became firm, and he asked Hachenis, "Can you still go out on your own now?"

"It should be possible. It was just too sudden. I have never encountered that kind of monster before."

"That's good. Seal the core laboratory area as soon as you get out. People from the Seventh Tower can let them in to check the situation. As for the elves, let the Seventh Tower find a reason to send them away first."

"President, the outside has been blocked."

"It's sealed, then go out now. Remember to return the Talisman of Calm to the Arcane Temple when you go out, and thank Archbishop Nelson for me."

Iolum knew that Hechenis alone was not enough to lend such holy objects from the Temple of Arcane. This favor and even divine favor would eventually be recorded on his head.

After saying that, he personally left a protective spell on Hechenis's body, as well as a magic mark containing a certain message.

After Hechenis left, Shado couldn't help but ask: "Did the teacher tell the Seven Towers about the situation here? I mean the twisted phantom?"

"Speaking of which, there is nothing to hide. The Seven Towers have dedicated people hunting this kind of creature in the etheric plane. Even if we can monopolize this place now, we will still have to buy from them in the future. As for now, hurry up, we We’ve already taken action first, so we can’t harvest as much as they did later!”

After saying that, Iolum flew upward again.

Shado followed closely behind, and while flying, he told Iolum that he had killed a twisted phantom before, and then asked: "Teacher, how many more can we find if we keep searching?"

"Don't worry about this problem. If you are hunting in the etheric plane, I can tell you that after you find one, you can only find three or five more at most. But this place already has certain characteristics of the material plane, and it is difficult for twisted phantoms to be found in the etheric plane. It’s moving rapidly here. To some extent, this area has become a cage trapping them. If my guess is correct, there should be a small twisted phantom settlement here.”

Having said this, Iolum looked back at Shado and asked, "Now do you know why I want you to hurry up?"

"You know, the teacher is worried that they will gather together to break through this area?"

"Yes, once they enter the complete etheric plane, we will not be able to find them no matter how hard we look for them. In addition, our actions together will also prevent them from combining."

"They can still fit together?" Xia Duo asked in surprise.

"Yes, but this kind of creature naturally rejects the same kind, and can even feed on the same kind to strengthen itself. Combining means that both parties or even more parties will die at the same time. They will not make this choice unless they have to."

Having said this, Iolum added, "There is also a situation of dedication. The combined twisted phantom can only exist for a short time, and then all will die. But if multiple twisted phantoms choose to devote themselves to one, then they will A twisted phantom king is born, comparable to the psychic master of Zhamdas in the South, but this situation almost never happens. "

"It's almost unlikely to happen, so it's possible that it will happen? Has it ever happened to the Seven Towers?"

"Yes! The Seven Towers have encountered it! About a hundred years ago, a fifteen-man hunting team from the Seven Towers was completely wiped out shortly after entering the etheric plane. There was quite a disturbance at that time."

Iolum's expression of emotion and nostalgia made Xia Duo quite envious. He had not traveled through time more than a hundred years ago. Even for most Nese mages, more than a hundred years was considered a long period of history.

For Iolum, more than a hundred years is only half of his personal experience, and there may be more hundred years in the future.

However, Xia Duo has experienced many bloodline awakenings. Even if he does not use any life extension spells now, his upper limit of life span is far beyond that of ordinary people.

As for how much more, Xia Duo could only guess based on the speed of his body's aging. The upper limit of his life span was at least a thousand years.

This is only the natural lifespan limit. If life extension spells are included, it will be even longer.

The current Xia Duocai is only over 20 years old. If you include the passage of time in the projection plane, he is only over 30 years old. It is really difficult to imagine hundreds or thousands of years.

But one thing he is sure of is that as long as he wants, he can always watch his civilization grow. This is an experience that countless sages in his hometown have been seeking.

…

"Teacher, find out the situation, it's up there!"

"Well, I also discovered that if we go together, there should be more than one!"

"more than one?"

Xia Duo was puzzled. He carefully experienced the strange feeling of telepathy. It was indeed somewhat different from the one just now, but how could he judge that there was more than one?

In the final analysis, the perceptual field he established in his mind was not a real thing. It was just an imaginary feeling. It could not be quantitatively analyzed, and even qualitative analysis was difficult.

In his opinion, this kind of telepathy is more like an intuition that arises out of thin air, a bit like prophecy, but it does have real support, which is different from real prophecy that does not require realistic information.

On this day, Xia Duo saw too many things that surprised him, whether it was the origin of the tower spirit, telepathy, or the hunting style of the etheric plane.

“It’s true that the more you know, the more you know!”

Because Iolum said there was more than one, Shado did not fall behind and experience it again as before, but quickly followed.

In the process of flying towards the target location above, the telepathy also becomes clearer and clearer, but compared to the previous ability to have an exact target, this clarity now is more like a clear ghost picture.

The content of the picture itself is a ghost image. No matter how high the resolution is, it will not become other content unless there are special means to separate the ghost images and analyze them one by one.

Perhaps Iolum has mastered such telepathic analysis methods!

Xia Duo thought thoughtfully, the teacher is indeed a teacher! Hundreds of years are really not in vain!
