Arcane Lord

"Teacher, aren't you worried about ethereal creatures invading the main plane?"

"Worry, but the etheric plane is there. If there is a real threat, it will only be more beneficial to us to study it in advance."

"Um."

Sha Duo nodded and said nothing more. There were some things that he didn't need to say. Iolum knew what to do. A reminder was enough. This ether overlap incident was just an accident.

After all, no one could have predicted in advance that the elf would be so crazy that he would just barge in, and it happened to be just when Iolum was about to lift the dead zone.

Thinking of that elf, Shado couldn't help but feel a little pity. He didn't put away the petrified statue just now. He was mainly worried that he wouldn't be able to take it out if Seven Towers or Iolum needed to interrogate it later.

Similar statues include the Saluk Witch and Snake statue found in the ruins of the territory. If you put it in the portable space, the soul in it will pop out, explode into a miniature plane and then be annihilated.

At that time, Iolum left in a hurry and did not clean up. Now I don't know if the statue is still there.

The construction spells that Xia Duo prepared for the floating city are of course quite powerful. It is difficult for ordinary elemental impacts to cause damage to it, but the random spells generated by the magic network riot are not just elemental impacts, but the probability of manifesting as elemental impacts is higher. Just big.

If there are one or more effects similar to the dissociation spell, you will only see debris on the ground if you don't wait to take a look.

…

"Xia Duo, they are coming!"

Iolum's reminder interrupted Shado's thoughts. Just as he was about to ask where the person was, a strange change suddenly appeared in the chaotic magic network environment in the west.

It was like a stable suspended matter appeared in a pot of boiling sewage. Although it did not change the chaotic nature, it also brought some changes to the previously unchanged environment.

Immediately afterwards, Brod, as well as Randall, Horn, and Hadrian, the three great arcanists of the Seven Towers, arrived one after another.

"teacher!"

"Um."

"Master Iolum, Badigal and the others are entertaining the elves outside, and we are the only three here."

"Thanks for the help."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Iolum was ready to propose his forward base plan, "This accident had an unexpected component, but so far, the result is good."

But before Iolum finished speaking, Horn said impatiently: "Master, what you said is wrong!

"Do you know that there is already a commotion outside? We just received news before we came in. Ilfaran has made it clear that it will support the magic restriction proposal proposed by Cormanso! It's because of this accident in the Austrian and French Federation! "

Iolum was not angry about this, but nodded seriously. Just when Horn looked happy and was about to say a few more words, this time it was Iolum's turn to interrupt him:

"Then what do you think is the possibility that if this accident hadn't happened, Irfalan would have opposed the proposal to restrict demons head-on? This is not a public place, so just tell us your true thoughts!"

"I -" The joy on Horn's face suddenly froze. He did not expect that Iolum would so bluntly expose the optimistic illusion created by the Seven Towers.

Indeed, they had also discussed within the Seven Towers that even if there was no such thing as the Austrian Law Federation, there is a high probability that Irfalan would still agree to Cormanso's proposal to limit magic.

Instead of taking care of the interests of the current ally, we will ignore the possibility that this ally may become a competitor or even an enemy in the future.

Of course, there is a difference between agreeing to the magic restriction proposal and agreeing to suppress Netheril now. This may be reflected in the specific magic restriction treaty.

But no matter what, for now, Elfaran is still an unbreakable and indestructible close ally of Netheril.

After thinking about it, Horn was still not ready to give up his original idea: "Even if Ilfaran may vote in favor, it is an indisputable fact that the Austrian-French Federation caused this accident. Such a serious accident has a great impact on Severington and the people living in it." Everyone here poses a great threat, and the ambassadors of the northern countries were still protesting just now!"

"Isn't this accident caused by the elves?" Iolum suddenly said with an innocent look.

After saying that, he also cast a spell to move the elf that was previously petrified by Sha Duo here. Perhaps due to luck, the elf statue suffered almost no serious damage.

"Shado, can this spell be lifted?" Iolum asked.

"But I'm not sure he'll survive if it's lifted."

Xia Duo was not lying. Putting the statue into the portable space can indeed burst out the soul, but if the petrification is lifted, there may not be a soul left.

For example, the previous statue of Saluk Witch and Snake was petrified so long ago that the statue had long since become a real stone, and it was completely impossible to remove the petrification.

This elf statue is still relatively new, but the effect of the petrification spell is no worse than that of the Wuhu statue. To a certain extent, it is even better.

Xia Duo never thought about how long the construction period would be when building the floating city. Of course, the shorter the time for complete material stabilization, the better, so that the next step of laying energy channels and installing equipment and facilities can be carried out more quickly. .

However, Iolum didn't care about the life and death of the elf. Doesn't it prove that he is an elf if he dies? As long as there is a corpse, the only thing to worry about is the identity of the elf.

If it is really sent by Ilfaran, it cannot be made public.

Horn saw that Iolum had obtained an elf statue and heard that it could be restored to its true form. He also realized the seriousness of the problem, although he did not think that Iolum would make the elf public.

But Seven Towers must consider the consequences of going public.

Even for the Cormanthor elf, making it public is not the best option. Anyway, the magic restriction treaty is basically a foregone conclusion. It is better to hold this elf in your hand and wait until the critical moment to use it.

If this elf is still alive, its value will be even greater!

Thinking of this, Horn subconsciously exchanged glances with Randall and Hadrian, and immediately made a decision. However, he did not immediately ask Iolum for the elf statue, but asked:

"Master Iolum, you just said that the outcome of this accident was good. Why is that?"

"Number one, of course, is him!"

Iolum patted the elf statue next to him, "The loss of a high mage cannot be too easy for either party. Secondly, haven't you discovered the anomaly in this ether overlapping area?"

"Abnormal?" Horn shook his head blankly.

When he first entered here, he was only focused on searching for the twisted phantom, and he didn't bother to check for abnormalities in this area. However, he didn't do it, and someone must have done it.

"Randall? Did you notice anything unusual?"

"I discovered it. I wanted to tell you just now, but you all ran so fast!"

For Randall, the attraction of the twisted phantom is far less than the ether overlap area itself!
