Arcane Lord

In response to Yin Orem's test, although Sha Duo has generally agreed with the Seven Towers plan, there are still many details that have not been explained clearly. He plans to go to Severton again in the next two days.

In addition to understanding the first-hand information of the negotiations, I also contacted other great arcanists to exchange opinions with each other, especially to stick to my own principles on some key issues, instead of being carried away by the Seven Towers. They all agreed.

…

In the next two days, Niya quickly completed the communication mystery lock project as Sha Duo expected. This should have been a very happy thing, but when Sha Duo revealed that he had a more complete plan, Ni Ya Arden suddenly became depressed.

The mist in her stubborn eyes was almost visible to the naked eye. She asked Xia Duo softly but extremely firmly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"This is indeed an accident. Do you remember that I went to a projection plane not long ago? Where I gained more than the total amount of previous explorations. But at that time, most of your project had been completed. If I said it directly, wouldn't it be Has it wiped out all your hard work over the past few years?”

"But, but now, haven't I still done useless work?" The mist in Niya's eyes finally turned into tears and fell down unsatisfactorily.

"Don't say that."

Xia Duo stepped forward and gently wiped away the tears left in the corners of Niya's eyes with the pads of his two thumbs. "Although the project results are somewhat behind, the project experience and mentality growth you have gained during this period will not fall behind as well." Bar!

"I will sort out what I have learned in the projection plane after a while, and you will definitely be able to catch up soon. By then, the Communication Mystery Lock will require you to perform maintenance and follow-up updates!"

The new communication mystery lock mentioned by Sha Duo attracted Niya's attention, and she couldn't help but ask: "What's the difference between the new communication mystery lock and the one I've completed now?"

"The basic functions are not different, but the framework and security design have been improved. If you have experience in this mysterious lock project, you will get started quickly, trust me!"

"Really? I don't believe it!"

“It really can’t be truer!”

Xia Duo saw that Niya's tone had relaxed, and continued to talk about some details about the new mystery lock, completely changing Niya's mood. Finally, he took out the mystery lock information that had been prepared and handed it to Niya. On hand.

"I will be preparing to build this mystery lock when I come back from Sevington. The corresponding communication weapon will also have some changes. However, I have already completed the design for mass production. You can arrange for the Magic Technology Department to conduct trial production recently."

"Well, I'll do some research first." Niya said absently, staring at the mystery information in her hand.

But soon he seemed to have thought of something, and he quickly said, "By the way, what's the situation over there in Severton? Is there something unexpected?"

Recently, she has been busy finishing the communication mystery lock project and paid less attention to the external situation. At this time, she heard that Xia Duo meant that she was going to Severton again, which made her a little worried.

"There are some changes, but they are developing for the better. You may see a brand new Netheril in a while."

Shado briefly described his two recent trips to Severnton, as well as the seven-tower plan informed by Yin Orem's call not long ago.

Niya was shocked after hearing this, and she subconsciously asked: "Did the Seven Towers compromise so easily?"

"Do you think so too?"

"Yes, haven't the Seven Towers already given up those three habitable planes and increased the number of seats for the Grand Arcanist in the Severnton Council? What else do you want from them?"

"I see."

Even people close to Niya believe that the Seven Towers have made huge concessions. Shado can imagine the attitude of other great arcanists towards the Seven Towers plan.

I'm afraid Doleson Hawke, who has no way to deal with the Seven Towers, would be happy to accept it!

But they ignored that the Seven Pagodas had completed the complete integration of justice, status and ruling order through the new plan. The more civilization develops, the greater the benefits contained in it.

Even from the current perspective, Seven Towers has reversed its disadvantage through this plan, and also solved the problem of the return of the Nese people from the second dimension.

Of course, there will be concessions, but from Xia Duo's point of view, what the Seven Towers gained this time is far more than what they gave up.

…

After appeasing Niya, Shado did not leave for Sevington immediately. Instead, he first went to the Tower of Time warehouse to find three permanent portals made of David string materials.

After returning from studying abroad in the Red Heart Alliance, Xia Duo has mastered the more advanced production method of Arcane String (the name of David String as Red Heart). The permanent portal of David String in the warehouse, which originally represented advanced technology, suddenly turned into a backward one. product.

Since the prophecy screen showed three permanent portals of David's string connecting to the sweet water and other planes, Xia Duo naturally didn't mind making this prophecy come true and regarded it as a destocking.

Of course, a backward product for Xia Duo does not mean a backward product for others. From a practical perspective, currently, only the arcane string portal among the portals can bear the plane-level transmission flux. .

If Xia Duo doesn't take action, the plane connection may end up on the surface of the basin. Only a few spellcasters can come out, and the vast majority of the remaining people will still have to stay in those small planes for the rest of their lives.

Of course, this does not mean that planes cannot be connected except through portals or teleportation circles. There is a more direct way, which is to build a permanent overlapping area of ​​planes.

If it were the Seven Towers in the past, they might not be willing to do this, but now the Seven Towers can come up with a new plan to renew the Seventon Covenant, maybe they will.

However, there are two disadvantages to doing this. One is that, like portals and teleportation arrays, it requires long-term maintenance of related spells or arrays. The cost is low but not non-existent. It is completely incomparable with David's string plan. .

The other one is more serious. If the planes remain overlapping for a long time, especially the two material planes, no one can predict what changes will eventually occur.

Xia Duo speculated from his only research experience in the plane field that it might cause the position of the small-sized plane in the ethereal layer to shift, causing it to gradually move closer to the main plane.

Once they get close, there is no precedent for whether they will collide or merge. Xia Duo cannot say for sure, but what is certain is that the movement of this process is definitely not small. It may be used by other aliens who have developed etheric layer detection technology. Surface civilization detected.

There are already a lot of troubles in the main plane. If enemies from other planes are caused again, it will make the current situation even worse.

Therefore, whether it is to recruit new citizens, to support plane connectivity, or from the perspective of avoiding plane wars, providing the David String Portal seems to be an inevitable choice for Shado.
