Arcane Lord

Otherwise, with the arrogance of the elves, they would not have reacted so quickly, let alone bringing along other countries in the Northern Alliance.

For a moment, Shado had no idea about continuing to travel, but right now he would have no more use even if he stayed in Netheril.

It is better to continue traveling. If you are lucky enough to find the control center of Long Kuang Mystic Lock, you may be able to eliminate this disaster in advance that has not really come yet.

"I understand. I will also convey this matter to the Seven Towers. By then, the two countries may be able to have deeper cooperation."

Saying this, Xia Duo was ready to end the meeting, but just when he wanted to bring it up, Instria looked embarrassed and said hesitantly:

"Actually, I have some news about the Dragon Mad Lock, but I don't know if I should tell you, Lord Shado."

"..."

Xia Duo was speechless. If he really didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't have come here. "Master Yinstria, it doesn't matter. No matter what the news is, I can accept it."

"In that case, let me tell you, Lord Xia Duo still remembers the dragon disaster two years ago? That is actually the normalized effect of Dragon Madness Mystery Lock, but because the Mystery Lock has been in disrepair for a long time, it costs dozens of It can only be triggered once every hundred years.”

As soon as he heard the beginning of the other party, Shado had already guessed what was going to follow. As expected, Yinstria then mentioned Drow and the most important thing - Cormanso!

"During the Dragon Disaster the year before last, it coincided with the drow invasion. In other words, the Dragon Disaster was actually the drow triggering the Dragon Madness Lock*** in advance - from the current perspective, but -"

Yinstria changed the subject and naturally led the topic to Cormanthor, "In order to deal with the drow and the dragon disaster at the same time, what did Cormanthor do to the Dragon Mad Lock? The most direct result was that the dragon The Silver Dragon Mage organization in the Crest Mountains betrayed the drow before the battle, and played a significant role in the subsequent battle. "

"Master Yinstria means that certain actions of Cormanso caused the accelerated collapse of the Dragon Madness Mystery Lock?"

"I didn't mean that. I just pointed out a fact. As for what kind of speculation this fact will cause, I can't limit it. Maybe it may be caused by the drow causing the dragon disaster in advance!"

Of course, it was impossible for Yinstria to directly identify Cormanso as the cause of the accelerated collapse of the Dragon Madness Lock, but the consciousness behind his words could not be more obvious.

Although Shado knew that a large part of it was to sow discord between Netheril and Cormanthor, but as Instria just said, he was just pointing out a fact——

Cormanthor did something to the dragon's madlock during the drow wars. Error-free updates @

This is easy to verify, but once verified, it is difficult not to think of it. Of course, it can also be said to be drow, but drow have long been defeated and retreated to the depths of the Underdark, but Cormanthor is right in front of you.

Regarding the news provided by Yinstria, Sha Duo had never thought about it before. Even if he excluded personal preferences and thought with almost absolute rationality, he felt that this might be the source of the abnormal climate in the past two years.

He could almost imagine that once the news spreads back to Netheril, ordinary people would scold him, and the Seven Towers would immediately re-evaluate their relationship with Cormanthor.

Without him, Netheril is the only one in the North that is most severely affected by the climate anomaly. If it is really caused by the collapse of the Dragon Madness Mystery Lock, then there will not only be climate anomalies in the future, but the disaster will most likely intensify.

The current abnormal climate is difficult to deal with. If there is another bigger disaster, wouldn't it mean that the country will be destroyed directly?

Under such circumstances, how could one have a good attitude towards Cormanso!

And if Ye Erlan can come up with any feasible plan to effectively solve the disaster, it may become the country with the most say in the Northern Alliance in one fell swoop.

Xia Duo even suspected that Ye Erlan was so eager to launch a disaster relief front because it might have already found some coping methods.

If it is true, he is actually very happy to see it. The worst thing he is afraid of is that he has no ability, but he pretends to be capable. If it leads to misjudgment by the alliance countries, it will be great fun.

For the time being, Xia Duo is not in a position to intervene in this matter. He can only wait and see what happens, while speeding up the collection of Dragon Madness Secret Scrolls and the search for the Mysterious Lock Control. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

The progress of the control center.

"I will also tell the Seven Towers this news."

…

After returning to the floating city, Sha Duo sat quietly for a long time thinking about the way out for the future. It was not until Niya's incarnation summoned him that he recovered his chaotic thoughts. He saw a lot of scenery on this trip, but there were also a lot of bad things. .

In the end, I have to sigh, "In troubled times, the only way out is to be strong!"

When I saw Niya again, she was already in the form of an elf. Shado also transformed into an elf, and then went to Tevi Mansa again.

Only this time, there was Niya beside Sha Duo, and there was no elf following him. This feeling of "freedom" made him feel very relaxed.

"Go to that tree first!"

Niya pointed forward. When she came, she had chosen the route for tonight's tour. Except for the more sensitive palaces, temples, colleges, and military camps, she could basically visit the entire Taivi Mansa roughly.

Shado naturally let her come, and the two quickly landed on a thick long branch of the tree pointed by Niya, which was an urban area in the eastern part of Taivi Mansa.

Strictly speaking, it is difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south in Taivi Mansa, because the entire city is discretely distributed among huge oak trees of different heights on the mountain ridge.

Some urban areas are on branches, and some are hidden in trees. Some urban areas are connected by suspended walkways, and some are directly connected by deep and long branches.

If it is your first time traveling to Taivi Mansa, you will most likely get lost.

Such a complex and three-dimensional city reminded Xia Duo of a city in his hometown, except that the city in his hometown was a mountain city, while the one here was a tree city.

Although I had done enough homework when I arrived, it was difficult to establish a specific impression of this tree city through only some magical images and written information.

After walking through a suspended block, both Niya and Xia Duo had to admit that they seemed to be lost. Maybe they were walking on the wrong branch before, and they didn't realize that something was wrong until now.

"Do you want to find a guide?" Niya asked Xia Duo with some embarrassment.

"Guide, let's forget it. I'll think of a solution!"

Xia Duo didn't want another elf light bulb in the two-person world, and the solution he thought of was human navigation. Taivimansa was covered by a mystery lock, and he didn't have enough permissions to use detection spells to navigate directly.

But he himself had been here twice before, especially when he went to the Golden Autumn Courtyard for a banquet for the first time. The team of Pegasus knights took him around the city several times. Although the second time was straightforward, he also saw I saw many scenes of travel between cities.

Combined with the magical images of Taivi Mansa that he had seen before, Shado could use his brain to quickly draw a rough map of Taivi Mansa and navigate it in real time.

However, without detailed investigation, this navigation may have a large number of blind spots, but if it is only used for sightseeing, it should be enough. .
