Arcane Lord

The so-called "basic thinking mode" essentially reduces the weapon spirit to the simplest state in which it can think. However, at this time, the weapon spirit can no longer be called "intelligence" and only has instinctive reactions similar to nerve reflexes.

The so-called "simplest state" is only based on Xia Duo's own experience, understanding and even intuition. There is no strict standard.

If you want to find more basic thinking patterns, there is almost no other way except to slowly explore them over time. But fortunately, this is an experiment that is more similar to "what you think is what you get". As long as you are willing to think and summarize, you can always found.

In the following days, Sha Duo and Niya went to the blue crystal plane to build the floating city every day. During the break, they talked about the design of the mystery lock. In the afternoon, he locked himself in the laboratory and analyzed his self-awareness during meditation.

If nothing unexpected happens, his state will continue until winter comes, but accidents often come so unexpectedly.

…

At noon that day, Shaduo and Niya had lunch in Linshui Village and were preparing to meet the new citizens recruited through Brod. Since the portal was opened, fewer and fewer people have been teleported.

But Xia Duo has not officially met with them yet. This time, just in time for someone to migrate over voluntarily, he is going to see what is going on.

While the two were discussing how to arrange for this spellcaster who did not belong to the Tower of Time sequence, they headed to the four Linshui Village resettlement sites mentioned by Leiden.

Halfway there, Niya's expression suddenly changed, "Xia Duo, something big happened over there with the elves!"

"What happened?" Sha Duo slowed down slightly and asked, "News from the Austrian and French Federation?"

Although several mage towers in the southern border now have formal organizational memberships in the Arcane Federation, they still belong to the Tower of Time in terms of the larger camp.

Therefore, news sources such as general bulletins, monthly magazines, supplements, etc. are sent directly to the Tower of Time, and the Tower of Time is connected to Niya's essence, so naturally it can be known at the first time.

"The great elder of Evereska was assassinated while visiting Sluvende. It is said that he is no longer alive." When Niya said these words, her eyes were both shocked and confused.

Not long ago, Evereska had announced to all parties that it would become a permanently neutral country. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The elder Evereska, who was roughly equal to the crown king of other elven countries, was assassinated. .

Don't know what will happen next!

"It's said that it won't work? Hasn't the news been confirmed yet?" Sha Duo immediately noticed the key point in Niya's words.

"That's what the news from the Arcane Federation said, but I guess if it's a translated Elvish source, it might have been confirmed!"

Translation?

Shado thought thoughtfully, if the original source of the information was in Elvish language, according to the tradition of elves, "death" is generally not said, but if it is a similar word, it is basically irreversible.

But why did the great elder of Evereska suddenly pay a visit to Sluvende? Didn’t you ask Larian to make the trip on your behalf before?

And who is the assassin? Assassinate the head of a country at this critical moment. Although Evereska is only a small city-state, it is also a formal member of the Northland Alliance.

It is impossible for the Northland Alliance to let this kind of thing go unchecked. Even if the powerful people of Cormanthor take action, there is a high probability that they will have to pay a heavy price.

Xia Duo instinctively felt that there was a problem here, and it was a big problem, but he just couldn't figure it out. He always felt that there was a layer of window paper that seemed to be thin but difficult to break.

…

Gu Gu

"Let's go back to the Tower of Time first!"

Shado immediately gave up the idea of ​​meeting the naturalized spellcaster and took Niya back to the Tower of Time. Just when he was about to contact Iolum to ask for details, an unexpected magic mark was triggered.

It's Hilda Lanna!

Want to meet? Sha Duo hesitated for a moment. This time point is hard not to remind people of the assassination of the Great Elder Evereska. Was this incident planned by Ye Erlan?

It's not impossible.

Of course, Hildalana's "call" might be for other reasons. Sha Duo thought it would be good to meet her and find out Ellan's views on the assassination incident.

…

Come to the communication room,

Xia Duo slowly cast the spell, and as the projection unfolded and the scene changed, he saw Hildalanna with a mysterious smile on her face.

For Shado, the appearance of the moon elf was in line with his aesthetics, but at this moment, Hildalanna's smile made him feel an inexplicable chill down his back.

"Ms. Hildalanna, long time no see. Is there anything you need to do with me this time? Then you must prepare the corresponding reward!"

"Lord Shado, let me tell you the result of the last incident. At the Northland Alliance meeting not long ago, the proposal of the special envoy of Helian Crown to fully open trade was rejected by other countries. It is said that King Helian Crown There was a lot of anger over this.”

When mentioning this matter, the corners of Hildalanna's mouth turned up slightly, and she was inevitably a little happy in her heart. The reputation of Prince Mian was hit, which was the biggest good news for those families who resisted Prince Mian's reforms.

For Shado, although this news was just heard, it did not exceed his expectations. Full opening of trade would be detrimental to Netheril, and there was a high probability that the Seven Towers would oppose it.

Furthermore, the current situation in the North is no longer what it was when the Northland Alliance was first established a year ago. Small countries have formed alliances with each other, which has greatly enhanced the small countries' voice in front of the five major countries.

Fully opening up trade is not good for Netheril, but is it good for small countries? Small countries with an improved voice will naturally object.

"Really? I also think that such a radical proposal is not suitable for the current Northland. Being rejected only shows that everyone has the same view."

Sha Duo did not get too entangled in this issue, but asked Hildalana about the real purpose of looking for him. He did not believe what the other party said about the result of the last incident.

If that's the case, there's no need to use real-time messaging. If you're interested, sending a message is enough.

Facing Xia Duo's inquiry, Hildalanna had a vague look of disappointment on her face, "Human beings are always so impatient. Lord Sha Duo, I wonder what you think of the [Light of Inspiration] potion?"

"Light of inspiration?"

Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said ambiguously, "It's indeed beyond my imagination!"

Then he asked: "Ms. Hildalanna, what exactly do you want to say?"

In fact, Xia Duo has not used that bottle of potion yet. There is only one bottle, and it comes from an elf. Even if it costs a high price, he is not prepared to use it without preparation.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Hildalanna suddenly mentioned this. Does she still want to trick him into going against the Moon Shadow family?
