Arcane Lord

Xia Duo did not continue to pay attention to how the sanctions against Green Tower would be handled. After the meeting ended that day, he returned to the southern border without any delay at all.

And just when he returned to the Tower of Time and was about to close the door and continue tinkering with his brain, he suddenly received an unexpected invitation.

The inviter was Elder Vecna ​​of the Council of Elders of Everriska, who used the channel from the Everriska Fury Society to the Netheril Arcane Federation.

In other words, what Shado received was actually an invitation from the Arcane Federation, but the other party to the meeting was an elf, and the location was also in Evereska.

"Military pharmaceutical business?"

As soon as he saw such content, Shado instinctively felt that there was something fishy in it. Although he had brought Everesca some suggestions on a new strategy for the Northland pattern not long ago, he would not rush to flatter himself like this!

What's more, Sha Duo had never had any contact with Elder Vecna ​​before, and the only time he had met him was in a formal diplomatic occasion like meeting Elder Everika in Yunguan Palace at that time.

Sha Duo didn't think there was a chance that he would be currying favor with an elf elder, at least not yet.

If it was purely about business and wanted to do business with the Nese people, Elder Vecna ​​should go to the Seven Towers or Jenna instead of someone far away in the south who has little actual control over the Nese mainland. he.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo replied to the Austrian Law Federation and asked them to help them reject the invitation.

In addition to the suspicious purpose of the other party, the more important point is that Xia Duo is currently not interested in the so-called military pharmaceutical business. Tower of Time has little foundation in pharmaceuticals and cannot master the core technology at all.

If you really want to cooperate with the other party, the best result is to become an agent in the southern region of Nese. But does the southern region have the economic strength to consume elven military medicine?

Even if a few spellcasters and adventurers have the ability to consume, the market is very limited, not to mention that it is still a money grab with the Tower of Time. How can Xia Duo do this kind of business.

In addition, Xia Duo couldn't wait to witness the birth of Zhi Nao. During previous meetings in Severton, he often deserted. When the meeting was over, he immediately returned to the south. It was also because of this.

A trip to Everesca at this critical moment would, at best, delay the birth of the brain, and at worst, would affect the implementation of a series of subsequent plans.

In particular, Xia Duo has high hopes for using his brain to study the mythical locks of the floating city, and the floating city will be a powerful trump card for the Nese people to deal with the competition from the elves in the future.

A mere elf elder is not enough to make Xia Duo change his plan.

…

And just when he was rejecting all external interference and focusing on the smart brain project, deep in an unknown forest in the distance, a large ordinary tree suddenly shook out of thin air.

The next moment, a figure wearing hollow mithril light armor and a long sword appeared next to the big tree. The long ears and pale golden skin all revealed the identity of this figure——

Golden Elf.

It's just that this golden elf warrior - let's call him that, after appearing next to the big tree, he didn't make any movements. Instead, he looked at the surrounding forest in a daze, as if he was remembering something, or searching. What are you wearing?

After a long time, he raised his head, and his sight seemed to penetrate the sky that had long been obscured by the tree canopy. He sighed with some loneliness: "I didn't expect that more than a thousand years have passed! Are any of my tribesmen and friends still alive?"

Gu Piao

The golden autumn breeze in the forest rustled the leaves, which seemed to be responding to the time traveler. However, at this time, the golden elf warrior was obviously not in the mood to appreciate these natural chants. After a brief thought, he teleported away into the distance.

…

At the same time, in a dark secret room, there are several figures that are obviously projections of spellcasters. They obviously have the ability to shape light, but at this moment they seem to enjoy the dark scene more, letting the light of the only magic lamp in the secret room Twisted, dark, and full of weirdness.

"He refused," one of the voices suddenly said.

"Let's think of another way." Another voice said in a tone that could not be refused, and then asked, "Where is Larian? Is it possible for him to join us?"

"I have worked with Larian for hundreds of years. I know his temperament very well. He seems peaceful, but deep down he is very persistent. I don't think he can be a fellow traveler with us."

A third figure also joined in. From his tone, he was actually acquainted with Larian. This group of mysterious projections were secretly planning something, and it seemed that the progress was not going well.

"I heard that the activation key for Adolfel Fortress has been found in the west. Maybe we will try to enter it soon. If everything goes well, we will not only eliminate a traitor who knows us very well, but also control the fortress, and To really come out in the sun.”

"Really? That's great!"

A distorted figure let out a strange laugh and said in a gloomy tone: "I have had enough repression and disguise these years. When the day comes when the plan is realized, I will definitely tear those bastards who have been against me to pieces!"

His words were also the sentiments of several other spell casters, but this guy was too excited and mentioned a taboo. The voice that had a hint of a leader's temperament snorted in dissatisfaction and directly extinguished this guy's projection.

By the time he re-projected, the secret room had begun to discuss how to cooperate with the west side's next operation.

"The old man has been moving very frequently recently and has even contacted the West. I am worried that it will affect the operations there. I think it is necessary to let the old man go home."

"Do you dare to take action? More than half of the Mysuo authority is now in the hands of those countries. Don't fail to kill the old man when the time comes, and it will ruin the big thing."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"If you ask me, just find a way to get the west to send out an invitation and trick the old man out. Then we won't be able to manipulate him."

"How is this possible? Now the old man almost never leaves Yunguan Palace. If he has any outings, he will directly ask Larian to come forward. This has become a routine. How are you going to deceive me?"

"Then kill Larian. He is destined to never be our companion anyway. Just kill him and avoid a lot of trouble."

"You know how to fight and kill, haven't the lessons you received in the past been enough?"

The leader snorted again, and the secret room suddenly became quiet. After an unknown amount of time, the leader said a name in a secret language, "I will let him find a way to deliver the gift, and wait for my news."

"Would it be too risky to do this? Will there be any objections from the east?"

"If they have any objections, let them come to me, and that's it!"

After saying that, the leader immediately dispelled the projection, and after some further discussion, the remaining spellcasters left one after another.
