Arcane Lord

It can be said that whether in the main plane or the projection plane, almost all elves live within the scope of the myth locks. The only difference is whether those myth locks have protective capabilities.

Many times, the myth lock can be regarded as a symbol of whether a force can take shape. In the previous projection plane, Evereska's independence, the biggest obstacle to Evereska's independence was the mystery lock in the hands of other forces. permissions.

After the authority was taken back, a new Mystery Lock was rebuilt, which led to the subsequent independence. Otherwise, it would be difficult for other countries to recognize Everesca's independent status.

Now, in the new home of the demons, although a country has been established, the myth lock has never been established. The supreme inheritance of traditional elf magic can only create high-level mages, but it does not necessarily include the knowledge of the mystery lock.

During this period, Os and other elders who had become high mages and Istadog had all tried to build the Mystery Lock, but they all failed.

This is not just a one-time mystery-like spell, it is a large-scale mystery that needs to exist for a long time or even permanently, covering the entire territory (and leaving room for future expansion).

According to Eastdog, it cannot be built unless one or more high mages are sacrificed. However, there are only a few high mages on the demon descendant's side, and it is impossible to sacrifice them.

This is the guarantee that the demon descendants can exist. Once these high mages disappear, I'm afraid Everesca will send people over to cause trouble immediately.

It is almost impossible for the demon bloodline alone to defeat any high mage, and it is difficult for the Mystic Lock alone to stop the invasion of high mage. Once the existing high demon wizards are gone, the demon will be destroyed.

Not only the demon descendants, but also Ilfarang may be affected. Who knows that Nese magic has been widely learned there!

Therefore, when Sha Duo said that he was preparing to build the Mystic Lock in the near future, the smile on Elder Maosh's face disappeared instantly, and he stared into Sha Duo's eyes seriously:

"Chief, your wisdom guides the direction of the tribe. If the secret lock must be built, I will convince Os to let him try again."

Maosh thought that Shado was going to sacrifice himself to build a mythical lock for his new home. In order to stop Shado, he even said that he would rather sacrifice Os. Shado was not hard-hearted. Even as a human being, he couldn't help but be a little touched at this moment. .

Although he had fought for all of this, the unity among the demons still touched him greatly. Unfortunately, it is a pity that all this will only appear in extremely critical moments like the current one. Once the situation improves, the internal unity will I'm afraid the fight is about to begin as scheduled.

Having transformed into elves so many times, Xia Duo has long known that elves are not a pure and noble race. In essence, they are just humans wearing elven skins. Humans have common problems with intelligent creatures, and elves will not be missing any of them.

Now, faced with Maosh's dissuasion, Shado also gave his own explanation, "I discovered a new mystery lock that is different from the traditional mystery lock. I am fully capable of building it independently."

In fact, it is the adaptive mystery lock being used by Chang'an, the floating city in the main plane. It is indeed different from the traditional elf mystery lock, and Xia Duo is indeed capable of building it alone.

However, his words were taken as evidence that he was prepared to sacrifice himself. Instead of relaxing, Maosh kept a close eye on Sha Duo, as if Sha Duo would sacrifice himself to build a secret lock if he looked away.

This made Xia Duo feel dumbfounded, "Elder, aren't you going to tell the other elders about the bloodline sequencing plan?"

"Do you really think that I don't know magic? Not to mention that I just learned your quick magic recently. Before, I just lacked some magic network affinity and failed to become a senior mage. As a senior mage, I am still quite qualified! "

"I didn't say you don't know magic - well, I won't say anything anymore. I'll explain it to you when the other elders come over."

Sha Duo walked to the foot of a big tree beside the institute with some helplessness. He leaned on the trunk and looked at Elder Maosh who was still staring at him and sighed secretly.

I don’t know if the old man is really sensitive or just guessing. Xia Duo does have the intention to "sacrifice" himself to build a mysterious lock, because he needs to consider what will happen to this body after his consciousness leaves.

The real Marun did not disappear, but was replaced by his true consciousness. Once he leaves, the real Marun will naturally "wake up".

In order to ensure that the awakened True Marun does not destroy his plan, Shado must properly handle this advent body. The best way is of course to sacrifice it for a noble purpose, which can further deify him as a leader. status to ensure that one's own plans can continue stably.

There has been no war in the near future. There is no need for the leader to go in person to explore the ruins. The experimental accident is also outrageous. On the contrary, it will become a stain on the leader's deification. After many times, the only relatively reasonable way to sacrifice oneself is to build a mysterious lock.

It's just that Elder Maosh may have guessed wrong. Sha Duo won't start building the mystery lock now. At least he will not "die" without worry until he sees that the order here has stabilized and can operate normally.

The term he refers to in the near future is a relatively vague term. If the order here stabilizes tomorrow, then he can start construction tomorrow. If it takes next year to stabilize, then it is not unacceptable to wait until next year.

A mere one or two years is not a long time for the elves. For Xia Duo, it may be just an experiment in the time acceleration area of ​​the main plane.

…

Soon, other elders who had received the rule of Elder Maosh came outside the institute one after another. Of course, the fastest one was Elder Os. After all, he was in the institute and he was a high mage. It would be strange if he was slow. .

As soon as Aos came over, he stared at Shado as hard as Maosh, "Chief, I heard Maosh said that you want to sacrifice yourself to build a secret lock?"

"I didn't mean that - wait until the other elders come and I'll explain it together!"

Os nodded, but said something similar to Maosh just now, "The tribe can live without Os, but it can't live without its leader. If you must build a mysterious lock, let me do it!"

While they were talking, several elders such as Solmante and Cashmont rushed over from outside with a gust of wind. When they came, they asked the same question as usual - whether the leader wanted to sacrifice himself to build the secret lock!

Xia Duo just shook his head and said nothing more. He didn't speak slowly until all the elders arrived, "I know the elders may not believe it, but it is true. The new mystery lock I want to build is inspired by the new magic. Elder Si, you are a senior mage, you should be able to verify the truth of what I said."

Then Xia Duo briefly explained the design principles of the Adaptive Mystery Lock to the elders. In fact, Xia Duo has long been accustomed to explaining in simple terms. Not only Elder Aos, but other elders as long as they have the traditional elf magic system and the magic of a qualified elite mage. You can understand it if you have attainments.

"We know the principle, and it doesn't sound difficult. However, the construction of the Mystic Lock does not only have the design principle, but also the specific design plan. If not, there is no choice but to sacrifice one's life. Chief, do you still have this plan?"
