Arcane Lord

————It will take about an hour~~

————

Almost instantly, Xia Duo did not hesitate to extract the pre-stored teleportation spell from the magic network. In this case, although the magic network was unreliable, it became the fastest response.

But unfortunately, the attacker seemed to have expected this, and the surrounding magic network became specious. After discovering this situation, it was obviously impossible for Sha Duo to continue teleporting.

Without having time to think about it, he immediately cast [Arcane Leap], which was an exclusive spell for arcanists from [Projection Plane·Evriska Thousand Years After Independence].

This was thanks to the fact that he had created the arcane fire for this incarnation of the saint early on, otherwise he really couldn't think of any other way besides exposing the essence of the incarnation.

Arcane jump has a completely different principle from common teleportation spells. In essence, it transforms into an arcane form and performs elemental jumps within the plane, without involving transit to other planes such as the ether or the star world.

This teleportation spell, which has never appeared in the main plane, immediately reversed the situation as soon as it appeared. Because it was in Karim City, Shado did not try to teleport to the lost floating city, but carried out short-distance teleportation. , as long as they go outside, Calimshan will definitely not sit idly by.

As for whether this sudden unknown attack was instigated by Calimshan, a trace of hesitation flashed through Shado's mind, but he was quickly ruled out.

If Calimshan really wanted to do something to him, she could have done it when she was in the Cloud Palace, instead of waiting for him to return to this temporary residence.

When it comes time to show off, who cares about face? On the contrary, Yun Palace can use Yun Palace's own defense mechanism to gain a huge home field advantage.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if he were Sir Pasha of Calimshan and wanted to silence a nominal guest, he would never let him go just to be sure.

There are too many vivid examples in his hometown, such as the most famous Hongmen Banquet, for which the great mentor even wrote a poem to warn future generations: "It is better to take advantage of the courage to chase the poor bandits, and not to use your reputation as an academic overlord"!

Since it was unlikely to be Kalishan, he would naturally turn this advantageous land into his home field. He probably also guessed that the attacker was probably inseparable from the assassination of the Sith Prince.

If this is the case, as long as you can leave this seaside palace, you can not only ask for help from the Calimshan people, but also from the Catmere elves who have been holding back their anger for a long time.

In fact, compared to the Calishans, the elves whose prince was killed may be a more reliable helping hand. However, the Calishans have the home field advantage after all. Shado is not sure who has greater support.

All kinds of thoughts passed through his mind like lightning, everything was only in the blink of an eye. Although it was a desperate choice, Arcane Leap, an arcanist's exclusive spell that had been brewing for a thousand years, did not disappoint him.

After the light and shadow were distorted, Shado found that he had left the seaside palace where he was before in a street market in Calimshan City, but surprises also existed. The teleportation location was at least one street away from what he expected.

At the same time, the Calimshan defense system he expected seemed to not exist. Although it was almost early in the morning, the market outside should not be so calm.

At least the ubiquitous background noise shouldn't disappear.

This discovery almost made Shado's heart sink to the bottom. An ominous premonition enveloped his heart, including worries that Calimshan might be involved and fear of unknown attacks.

But Xia Duo has not experienced despair. In the [Projection Plane·Dark Area] before, he even survived the torture of drow. Now that he has not reached the end of the road, he naturally cannot be captured without mercy.

Even if he really reaches a dead end, he will find a way to splash blood on the enemy's face.

——[Arcana Leap]!

Xia Duo almost didn't think twice at this moment and immediately teleported away. This time, he did not choose short-distance teleportation, but aimed at medium and long distances. This was a decision made after taking into account the interference of unknown factors on teleportation.

Otherwise, with his temperament, he would at least be teleported out of Calimshan.

But it is basically a medium-to-long distance teleportation. After teleporting many times in succession, Shado has completely left the area where Calimshan is located. What he is most worried about at the moment is Niya. Although there is a floating city and Savile, the enemy But it is completely unknown, so how can we not worry about it!

Finally, Xia Duo stopped in a bush. The farther he was teleported, the greater the deviation. After a simple identification, he found that he might have arrived in the territory of Comanso, but the unified mystery lock that should be in Comanso was nowhere to be seen.

He just teleported in so arrogantly. Even though he was teleported here using [Arcana Leap], which is quite unfamiliar to the main plane, the Mystery Lock itself has the function of monitoring energy. This is the only flaw of [Arcane Leap]. .

Based on Cormanthor's past attitude towards Netheril, arcane energy fluctuations are probably the energy that attracts the most attention!

Comanso, who should have responded at this moment, did not respond at all. The silence was like a pool of stagnant water. Sha Duo couldn't help but have a guess in his heart -

Maybe he didn't really leave the seaside palace at this moment, but just fell into an extremely brilliant illusion.

Next, he did not continue to try to teleport, but used the saint form to have super control over the magic network, and cast a detection spell that also became plausible due to the changes in the magic network.

For a moment, a large area around him was reflected in his heart, which seemed to be consistent with the Cormanso in his memory, but the unknown attacker did not seem to know that he also had the bloodline ability to trace memories.

When Xia Duo reviewed his past memories, he found a lot of differences in details. However, when he discovered this, something even more terrifying happened, and the results of the still-maintained detection spell feedback immediately changed.

It turned into a scene that was exactly the same as in his memory. In some places, many details were even added based on his memory. For example, many of his memories of Cormanthor were from overlooking the floating city, or with the help of detection. Although the spells are all in sight, it does lack a lot of details and the perspective is very fixed.

Such changes made him feel chilly. He didn't know whether the unknown enemy was manipulating his memory, or whether the illusion was really so good.

In contrast, Xia Duo is more willing to believe in the latter. After all, manipulating memory is equivalent to erasing a person's existence. However, he can still maintain a continuous and stable personality, which shows that the memory has not been manipulated, at least not in the form he thinks. Control.

As for illusion, Xia Duo knows that illusion is roughly divided into three levels -

The first level is the most superficial sensory illusion, which can only confuse the senses of living creatures, such as vision, hearing, smell, etc. It may be confusing to several senses at the same time, or it may be just one.

Illusions of this level are very easy to see through, especially for spellcasters. If they don't disguise themselves at the level of the magic network, it's almost as if there is no disguise.
