Arcane Lord

"I don't know how the Seven Towers will respond. There is no news yet!"

Xia Duo sighed silently and then entered the watchtower.

…

After maintaining the Blazing Sun Array, Sha Duo was about to check the status of the watch tower itself, when news from Belera came unexpectedly——

"The enthusiasm of the participants was much higher than expected. The exchange meeting started early, and I will try to compress the time as much as possible."

According to the original plan, if the exchange meeting started early, Belera should choose to delay the time and wait for Xia Duo to appear. Now that it is advanced, but the time has to be compressed, it can be seen that Belera's "high enthusiasm" is not a lie.

Xia Duo was happy. He didn't want this exchange meeting to be just a formality and turn into a dispensable "fan meeting."

He does need mages with a lord background to help him do things, and he also needs to attract a wave of orders in a "on-site" form that is irresistible, but he is also looking forward to the exchange meeting itself.

The Great Arcanist only means that the Arcanist has touched the tenth level of the magic network, and it cannot represent anything else. Some non-Arcanist mages may just take some detours in the initial stage, and their own talents are stronger than the Great Arcana. Teacher's.

The "talent" here is not some quantitative attribute that can be measured, but a state of intelligence that integrates all aspects of cognition, thinking, logic, imagination, etc.

The Grand Arcanist only has a slight advantage in the early stage. If everyone can advance to the Arcanist level, and eventually develop, the nineteen Grand Arcanists in Netheril may not be ranked in the top 100.

Before technology and systems reach a certain standard, opportunity or luck largely determines a person's development level, not the person himself.

Xia Duo is very self-aware. Before time travel, he was just a middle-class person (perhaps in the top 10% if you only look at academic qualifications, but in fact, even in modern times, many people have lost their opportunities due to various reasons), so why did he become so good after time travel? Surely it can surpass countless geniuses?

Of course, for now, having the foundation of a world is indeed an advantage that countless geniuses cannot achieve.

Or to put it another way, Xia Duo has been looking forward to becoming an ordinary person in this world again, which is like asking an earthling if he is willing to change his identity and become an ancient emperor.

Xia Duo believes that as long as they think carefully, most people will not choose to be an ancient emperor.

Apart from satisfying some perverted desires for power, becoming an ancient emperor was not as good as what modern people can enjoy in other aspects.

But while possessing power, one must also be able to maintain such power. Ancient people were not stupider than modern people, but they were not as knowledgeable as modern people. Once they use their knowledge beyond the current era for profit, they may achieve short-term results.

But in the long run, smart ancient people will quickly absorb and transform. How can a modern ordinary person outplay a group of ancient people?

In the ancient system, those in power naturally conflicted with those in power, a relationship between domination and being ruled. However, the core of the modern system lies in "democracy and representation."

What maintains the rule of the former is violence. No matter how much the rulers promote public opinion, the essence is still the law of the jungle; while the latter is closer to public opinion.

The reason why it is "close" is because everyone has their own selfish desires, which together are chaotic and may not necessarily make long-term and correct decisions.

If advanced people who have overcome selfish desires represent public opinion, they will naturally be able to make decisions that are beneficial to the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people.

And if those who represent public opinion themselves have a lot of selfish desires, or only represent the interests of a few people, it will undoubtedly be detrimental to the public.

In Xia Duo's view, a modern person who can play with ancient times will not be too ordinary in modern times. And will such an ordinary modern person expect to enter a more advanced future civilization?

Xia Duo believes it will.

Because with the continuous development of civilization, individuals in the civilization will also be more fully developed!

In Chateau's hometown, there is a possibility for the development of future civilization called the "Kingdom of Freedom". In that kind of civilized society, all human activities are to realize the inner needs of the subject itself, and everyone can be fully developed. .

In Xia Duo's hometown, countless people believe that such a future exists and will inevitably come, and countless people strive endlessly for such belief and even belief.

For Xia Duo, although he still has all kinds of selfish desires, it does not prevent him from moving towards this ideal.

In fact, such a highly developed kingdom of freedom can accommodate all selfish desires. In other words, the current so-called selfish desires may only be a certain stage of personal development by then.

It's hard for Xia Duo to imagine what such a world would be like, but he is looking forward to that day.

Immortality really helped him overcome many weaknesses. If this world cannot live forever or there is no hope of immortality in his lifetime, then he may just fall.

In a limited life, isn't it quite humane to be a local emperor and have fun for a while?

It's not that Xia Duo doesn't have selfish desires, but he has many and big desires, and he doesn't pay attention to the selfish desires in front of him.

…

"No need to deliberately compress or delay the time, I will be at the venue right away!"

All kinds of thoughts flowed through Sha Duo's heart like water. He looked calm. After summoning Belera, he immediately set off to return to Severton.

Austrian-French Federation.

After Xia Duo arrived at the teleportation room exclusive to senior members, he did not leave. Instead, he immediately adjusted the parameters of the teleportation circle and teleported again.

When he reappeared, he was already in the mysterious temple beneath the Severdon Temple.

At this time, there was a medium-sized lounge with a door and tables and chairs at the back, and the front was filled with a magical image. The image showed a hall full of spellcasters.

Sha Duo found Belera among them, who was currently in the center of the hall debating with another Seven Towers mage on an issue related to the transformation of the Magic Network String.

Due to the large number of people attending this exchange meeting, it is impossible to give everyone the opportunity to speak on stage like a small exchange meeting. Basically, the mages who can take the stage are at least high-level mages and even arcanists.

However, in the debate session, which is the current session where magic images are displayed, there is no restriction on speaking. Instead, the speaker will randomly select interested participants to debate or answer questions.

Now it is obvious that the unknown mage has chosen Belera as the object of debate. Of course, the premise is that Belera has a different view on what the other party said and intends to initiate a debate.

"To sum up, the rising ring transformation of element unit 3-ΞΩΞΔΠΣΓΟ shows obvious out-of-phase properties, and obviously does not follow the same-phase rule you just mentioned."

"You are right. I ignored the out-of-phase divergence of the transformation of the Magic Network String under multiple factors. In addition, I will add one more point..."
