Arcane Lord

Everriska.

When Shado brought Starlight back to the private property he had named "Athos Manor", it was already early the next morning.

At this time, it was not that late for the elves. Many places in the city were still brightly lit, and the faint sound of musical instruments and laughter continued to spread in the quiet night.

After opening the manor barrier, all the disturbances from the outside world were blocked out. The incarnation of Sha Duo did not need to rest. However, out of human habits, he leaned back on the chair in the study and closed his eyes. .

After dawn, he was going to visit Ogus in the Council of Elders of Everriska. About Ogus, Shado only knew some hearsay information.

Although there is still some gap between the most ideal cooperation goals, at this time, only Ogus among the eleven elders had contact with him, indirectly.

The manor where he is now was able to buy it at a relatively reasonable price when he first arrived here, thanks to the help of Ogus's followers.

Those eleven elders are planning to establish Evereska as an independent country, and they must have a relatively close alliance with each other.

Xia Duo boldly guessed that unless he explicitly rejected Ogus, other elders would most likely not take the initiative to free him.

In fact, once he rejects Ogus, even if he hooks up with other elders, Ogus will probably be dissatisfied.

In this case, the other party may not necessarily have any positive effect on Xia Duo's goal, but if he wants to do bad things, it is very simple.

"Alas! If only it were that Elder Segis!"

According to the market information that Shado had collected before, Elder Segis is currently in charge of affairs related to the Mystery Lock of Everesca. Recently, many elven civilians have seen Segis surveying the geographical situation in the city.

If Sergis had contacted Shado first, then it would have been easier for Shado to join the Mystery Lock construction team than it was with Ogos. If you take into account the name certificate made by the Nese Scroll, it would be easy to get it!

As for Ogus, he was actually responsible for the local defense of Everesca. What Shado was most worried about was that even if the other party believed in him, they would still use him as a thug.

That would be inconsistent with his original intention.

"I am a researcher!"

Xia Duo sighed and shook his head, and then stopped thinking about these troublesome things. The boat went straight to the bridge. He believed that with the Nese Scroll in hand, even if he did not join Everriska's Mystery Lock construction team, he would form a team on his own. .

But in this way, when we visit Ogus after dawn, this hand of cards cannot be played first.

Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Sha Duo took out the research notes he brought from the main plane. So far, the general framework design of the Floating City Mystery Lock has been completed.

Following his early design ideas, for future cross-dimensional actions, priority was given to the ability to adapt to different magic network states.

This also contains some design ideas of Arcane Fire. If it were in the main plane, it would be absolutely impossible for him to share it with the elves, but in the projection plane, there would be nothing to pay attention to.

Shado has not started yet on the other functions of the Mystic Lock, such as the energy secondary line in conjunction with [Mythra], basic protection, and permission settings at all levels.

As for the part involving the floating city, even in the projection plane, it was difficult for Xia Duo to find too many people, otherwise if the other party asked him to take out the floating city, he would definitely not be able to take it out.

The project can only be broken down into several small categories, so that the researcher cannot see the whole picture and can only be a tool that follows orders, and this is not an easy task.

This is a research project. If the project can be broken down so easily, it means that Sha Duo already has a relatively clear idea in his mind. In fact, he doesn't have it yet.

Secondly, there are researchers. If you want to study myth locks, a high-ranking mage is best, but a senior mage can do it. Ordinary elite mages may not even be able to be tools.

Based on the status of elf mages in elf society, ordinary elite mages are nothing more than ordinary mages. When it comes to senior mages, it is not easy to find them, let alone the dominant high mages.

It's not easy to make them willing to be tool men.

"Let's have a small goal first!"

Sha Duo wrote and drew in his notes, and finally determined the small goal for the first phase of the floating city's myth lock in the projection plane - to first complete the overall framework, which is the adaptive function of the myth lock to the magic network.

In fact, at this point, it can be regarded as a relatively complete mystery lock. Some micro-mysteries may not be as good as this!

…

As I thought about it, time flowed rapidly, and a ray of skylight finally appeared in the study. Then the light became brighter and brighter. In contrast, the light emitted by the magic lamp in the study became weaker and weaker as the skylight gradually brightened.

When it was completely extinguished, the fluctuations in the magic network caused by it were enough to attract Xia Duo's attention.

"It's already morning!"

Xia Duo subconsciously touched his belly, but this avatar didn't need to rest, nor did he even need to eat. Touching his belly at this time was more of a transfer of past habits.

Just as he was about to stand up, a pendant on the desk suddenly turned on its own and emitted a crisp ringing sound. At the same time, it also projected a real-time video on the desk——

Lacles, a follower of Ogos, appeared at the gate of the manor with a group of guards.

As if aware of Xia Duo's gaze, Lacres Lanxant said: "Lord Athos, Elder Ogus is hosting a banquet at Yunding Tower and sent me to invite you to the banquet."

"A banquet? At this time?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Xia Duo's eyes, and his brows furrowed tightly. At this time, last night's dinner party was probably about to end!

Furthermore, even if it were not the remnants of last night's dinner, this time was not an ideal time for a banquet, let alone a banquet for a high mage.

How rude!

For a moment, Xia Duo regretted choosing Everesca. The other party's attitude was so arrogant. Even if he got closer, it would be difficult for him to have much say.

It's just that it wasn't this attitude yesterday. Why did it suddenly change today?

Thinking like this, Xia Duo also gave a reply. He did not show up, but sent a voice to tell Lacres that he was not free.

As for the explanation, the high mage still needs to explain it to others!

Chateau noticed that after he said that he had no time, Lacres was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately teleported away from the gate of the manor regardless of the group of soldiers he brought before.

The other party's actions made Xia Duo a little confused. Did he go to call someone? Could it be that the other party thought that just a bunch of soldiers could keep an eye on him?

Ah!

Xia Duo shook his head, ignored the other party, and continued to sort out the floating city mystery lock project. Anyway, he was just an avatar now. If the other party really had any ideas, he would not do anything now.

But before leaving this projection plane, he will definitely give Evereska a hard slap so that she can know what a high mage with no taboos looks like.
