Arcane Lord

Perhaps Cliff's perspective on considering the impact of mortals' ascension to gods is different from Shado's, but it is undeniable that the two sides at least reached an agreement on opposing the order of god ascension.

Of course, Magna is also included.

"Then Sir Cliff, do you think Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony will be successful?" Shado naturally asked Cliff the same question.

In response, Cliff shook his head solemnly. Just as Sha Duo was about to ask further questions, there was the sound of teleportation spells coming from outside the temporarily borrowed reception room.

Shado looked at Cliff and Magna inquiringly. Magna was a little confused, and Cliff replied: "It should be Vader. I also invited him over."

"Vade?"

Hearing this name, Shado frowned subconsciously. There was some dissatisfaction between him and Wade. Previously, the other party had secretly controlled Lord Rodney to invade the southern territory and even assassinated important figures in the territory.

Later, due to the turmoil in the Seventon Parliament and the intervention of the Seven Towers, this matter was temporarily understood. However, the main reason was the other party's control of Lord Rodney. There was actually no compensation for the loss of the Saville Territory.

It is impossible to say that Sha Duo has no resentment in his heart at all, and this also makes him a little dissatisfied with Cliff. Don't you know the grudge between Wade and yourself?

As a priest, Cliff was naturally more aware of Shado's emotional changes than ordinary spellcasters, so he quickly explained: "Vade is a staunch practitioner of the arcane path. He not only opposes the order of ascension to the gods, but is also dissatisfied with the ascension to the gods. The ritual has been used again and again. Unless it can be explained clearly using existing magic theories, having him join will also help us have a say. Please be patient, Lord Shado."

At least given the explanation, Xia Duo reluctantly nodded.

Afterwards, Cliff came for Vader, and Shado sat in the corner of the room waiting for their exchange to end or to see who else would come over. But what he didn't expect was that Magna quietly sent a message and asked him and Vader What grudges there are.

Chateau briefly told what Wade had done in the Rodney Territory and the Saville Territory. Magna was silent for a moment, and then replied:

"You were indeed weak at that time, but now you are strong. You can ask the other party to pay for what happened in the past."

"I will, but not now."

Sha Duo knew very well that Cliff invited everyone here to attack the Seven Towers after the God Ascension Ceremony, at least to prompt the Seven Towers to make concessions on the order of the God Ascension. He did not want to mess up the overall situation because of his personal affairs.

But after Cliff and Wade finished their exchange, Wade came to Sha Duo, handed over a small purse with golden patterns on the surface, and then solemnly said:

"Lord Shado, I apologize to you for some of my previous actions. Please accept it!"

The things that could be taken out by the Grand Arcanist were certainly not ordinary things. Looking through the small purse, Xia Duo was sure that there was an extremely precious gem inside -

Plane crystallization!

Such a rare thing and such a straightforward apology made Xia Duo a little stunned for a while. He knew very well that if it was just a floating city, the other party would not be able to give in so easily.

You must know that Vader had never lowered his posture like this before when he was sanctioned by the Seven Towers.

Xia Duo did not accept the other party's apology. Instead, he asked the other party a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the matter, "Why?"

In the eyes of Cliff, Magna and other outsiders, Shado may have asked why Vader wanted to apologize, and the answer may have been about the order of the Severnton Alliance, or for so-called "justice".

But what Xia Duo actually asked was - why is it a plane crystal?

You must know that at this stage, the plane crystals in Netheril, except for a few that are obtained from some undeveloped ancient ruins, almost all of the rest come from the Seven Towers.

How could such a precious thing be used as an apology?

Vader wouldn't want to get into Sha Duo's belly. He knew that his next research direction was the plane field, and he would need plane crystals!

But this makes even more sense.

Xia Duo may be able to accept this plane crystal, but if he doesn't figure it out, he won't be able to sleep well!

As if he saw the scrutiny and confusion in Sha Duo's eyes, Wade opened his mouth but did not make any sound. Instead, he chose to send a message privately to reveal something.

After Sha Duo received the information, he frowned again. What Wade revealed was not anything else, but a design idea for the magic network background communication array.

This may be used in the communication mystery lock that Niya is researching, but why? Just as he was about to continue asking, Wade's emotionless slogan came to his ears——

"Only arcane magic is supreme!"

Hearing this familiar slogan, Sha Duo was startled. He subconsciously looked at Cliff and Magna in the living room. Seeing that the two people seemed to be unaware, he looked at Wade in surprise. :

"It's you?!"

"It seems Lord Xia Duo must have thought of it!"

Vader showed a smile at this time, but he seemed to rarely smile. This time his smile was a bit weird, but the tone revealed in it gave people a very sincere feeling:

"Actually, I have been paying attention to it since the birth of the magic network background communication spell. But unfortunately, the internal confidentiality of Giles Tower is still very good. It was not until Skum came to power that I knew the source was you.

"But you had grown up by then, otherwise I would rather go to war with Yin Olum and let you become my student.

"So what happened before was indeed a misunderstanding. In this world, we are actually the real fellow travelers!"

"..."

Xia Duo was silent. He needed to take a break. Although he had previously guessed that the great sage in [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] was a visitor from the main plane, he never expected that he would be Vader's man!

When Vader skillfully said the slogan of the Arcane Empire, Sha Duo was really shocked. His first reaction was that someone in the projection plane transcended the illusion and ran to the main plane, but then he reacted Come here, the possibility is too low.

It should be Vader's people who participated in or even led the shaping of the arcane empire in the projection plane.

The design idea for the Magic Network background communication array just presented by the other party should not be based on understanding the research direction of the Tower of Time and prescribing the right medicine, but based on the hints given by the Magic Network background communication that Sha Duo had previously created.

It's a pity that Xia Duo didn't think of that aspect at first, so the other party broke out the slogan of Arcane Empire.

As for the plane crystallization, there can be a good explanation. As Wade said, he and he are true fellow travelers. Perhaps he is aware of his actions to popularize magic education in the southern territory, and at the same time, based on his many times entering the projection I have experience in plane exploration (you may not be able to encounter the Arcane Empire if you don't do it many times), so I speculate that what I need most at the moment may be plane crystals.

All this seems to make sense.

But there was one thing that Shado didn't agree with, and that was what Wade called fellow travelers. The Arcane Empire might have popularized education, but having been there personally, he clearly knew how inhumane the Arcane Empire's system was.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about childbirth. As long as you don’t become an official mage within the prescribed time limit, you will become a birth machine, and the children born will be sent to a nursery to be raised in a socialized manner, and they will have nothing to do with the original parents. money relationship.

Although this is a huge population demand caused by the war, it also shows the indifference of the upper class of the Arcane Empire to ordinary people or to life itself.
