Arcane Lord

The Guangming Mirror was put into the water for more than a moment, but no abnormality appeared. Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little anxious. At the same time, he was glad that he didn't boast about Haikou just now.

Fortunately, the setting sun was shining in the evening, and the sparkling water on the surface of the elemental fountain pool was a sight to behold. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him that he usually ignored, Xia Duo thought about it for a while.

It would indeed be a good thing if the Bright Mirror could be refined, as it would help him study the principles of the power of order, but if it couldn't be refined, there would still be identity cards available!

After thinking about it, Xia Duo's mood completely calmed down. He took out a soft chair from his personal space, pulled Niya to sit down next to the elemental fountain, and quietly admired the scenery in front of him.

At this time, Niya no longer struggled with the bronze mirror that was thrown into the pool. She quietly rested her head on Sha Duo's shoulder, as if she couldn't feel the passage of time.

Not everyone has the opportunity or the mood to appreciate the winter scenery, but for spellcasters, the mere cold is no hindrance.

I don't know how much time has passed, but half of the setting sun has submerged under the horizon, and the elemental fountain where Shadonia is is obviously not as bright as before.

But also because the sun temporarily restrained its brilliance, the moon and stars were revealed. However, the starry sky in the main plane and the moon were not bad. They were very similar to what Xia Duo saw on the earth, except that there was no shadow on the surface. The whole body is like white jade.

But there are too few stars. In fact, there are only more than a hundred stars visible to the naked eye, and some require vision-enhancing spells to see clearly.

These are far inferior to the starry sky at night in Xia Duo's hometown.

But one thing is the same as on the earth. Even during the day, you can observe the stars in the sky. The positions of those stars generally remain unchanged whether it is night or day.

At least this is the case based on Xia Duo's own intuitive feelings. Whether there are specific changes requires further comparative study of astrological observation records.

However, the moon, like the sun, rises in the east and sets in the west every day. At sunset, the moon rises from the east and does not set until before dawn.

Therefore, there are only more than a hundred not very bright stars shining in the night sky before dawn, which can be called the darkest moment of the whole day, except of course on cloudy days.

In Netheril, there are very few legends about the starry sky, but in the elven world, there are many related legends. For example, a certain star represents good luck, and a certain star is the guardian star of the elves.

There are even legends that some ancient elven heroes ascended to the stars, the most recent of which was an elven hero who emerged during the drow invasion of Listal Forest more than a thousand years ago.

Legend has it that the elf lost all his relatives in the war of drow invasion. He vowed to kill all drow, and since then he has been walking in the darkness, hunting any drow he can see.

His deeds were left everywhere in the Listal Forest. Such hunting continued for hundreds of years. It was not until the eve of the establishment of Cormanthor that the night hunter suddenly disappeared.

Therefore, in order to commemorate the unknown hero who brought hope to the people in the darkness, the elves of the Listal Forest connected him with a star corresponding to the forest division of the Listal Forest, saying that he became a star to protect the people.

There are many such legends. After all, there are countless stars visible to the naked eye in the sky, but the history of elves is very long, and most stars have more than one legend.

In this regard, Netheril is much worse. On the one hand, it is the invasion of elven culture, and on the other hand, few Netherese people specialize in studying astrology, let alone forming influence and creating legends.

…

As the light in the northwest gradually dimmed, the stars in the sky became more and more obvious, and Sha Duo told Niya the elven legend corresponding to each star in front of the starry sky.

When introduced to the red-tailed star of Netheril, Nya suddenly pulled his arm and exclaimed, "Look, the mirror is glowing!"

Looking in the direction of Niya's finger, Xia Duo couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the precious mirror floating quietly in the water.

At this moment, he turned his attention back to the Guangming Mirror and noticed the strange fluctuations of the magic network around the mirror. Those fluctuations even caused some unknown spatial changes.

He immediately realized that this strange phenomenon was probably the beginning of the refining process delivered by the treasure mirror before. This unknown reaction made him feel a little uneasy.

But considering that this might be his closest chance to contact the Eastern world, Xia Duo did not intervene, but waited patiently. It lasted for almost a quarter of an hour before the vision lingering around the mirror gradually disappeared.

Compared to Xia Duo, who was more concerned about the nature of the vision, he did not notice the other aspects of the vision for a while. It was Niya who reminded him that he finally realized it——

A mercury-like orb that looked closer to transparency actually condensed on the top of the mirror. Like the bright mirror, it was quietly suspended in the water.

"Three Light Divine Water?!"

Seeing this situation, Xia Duo was doubly shocked. The three-light divine water he had learned about in the projection plane before was actually three types, namely sunlight, moonlight, and starlight divine water, and their manifestations were not such orbs.

It is closer to the transparent elemental water.

The three kinds of divine water are different from each other. Even if they are mixed, they only have three effects combined, rather than becoming a completely new existence.

But now, the refining process of the treasure mirror seems to have produced some products that are completely different from what he knew.

Just when Xia Duo was about to put away the orb that was suspected to be a drop of real three-light divine water, the orb suddenly disintegrated and merged with the surrounding water quickly, making it difficult to distinguish.

"this--"

Whether it was a late collection or something else, Xia Duo couldn't be sure, because what was happening now had exceeded his expectations.

Previously in the projection plane, the process of transforming the treasure mirror into divine water demonstrated by the court mage of Uwelen was to transform the sun into a special elemental water out of thin air when the sun was blazing.

It only has the form of water, but its essence is still energy, or it is the critical state of energy reaching water. This kind of solar energy water can be drank directly, or it can be blended into water and used by more people.

Moonlight and starlight are similar, but they take longer to transform.

But now that the divine water has transformed into the form of an orb, Xia Duo is not sure whether it is in the form of a real orb or a natural state of condensation when suspended underwater. Anyway, that type of divine water is similar to the three he has seen in the projection plane. All kinds of sacred water are different.

And the conversion time is also shorter.

He speculated that either the main plane and the projection plane were different, so the converted divine water was also different, or the three lights combined to refine the real three-light divine water during the refining process of the treasure mirror.

What is the situation? Although the orb that was just transformed has disappeared, the refining of the treasure mirror is not over yet. This is only part of the automatic refining process of the treasure mirror, and then there is the refining process of the user.

If you missed it today, come back tomorrow.

Xia Duo marked down the time and prepared to pick a time to come over tomorrow so that he wouldn't have to wait here all the time.
