Arcane Lord

"By the way, how is the progress of the Elemental Tower recently? I heard that Calimshan has sent more than ten scholars. There must be three batches of scholars before and after this. Do you know what's going on?" Helion asked again .

Consultant Phillipa was originally responsible for the Elemental Tower, but because of the importance of the Elemental Tower, Phillipa spent almost all his time on it, and his occasional reports were mostly in professional terms.

Helion only knew that the Tower of Elements was making good progress, but there were several groups of scholars coming from Calimshan. They couldn't be here for tourism. It happened that Costa was in charge of the intelligence field. Asking him might be able to find out something. Different.

Costa did not shy away from this, "I happen to know about this matter. As you know, Crown Prince, Felipa and I have a good relationship. We just met a few days ago. Because of the shortage of high-grade gemstones, I also talked to him." We talked about the Elemental Tower in detail.

"According to Philifa, the two elemental towers currently used for experiments have entered the final debugging stage. However, the elemental environments of Erlan and Calimshan are not the same, and the experience of Calimshan cannot be directly applied. to here.

"So it is necessary to collect data as much as possible. The key to the element tower lies in the critical state of the elements. If this is not debugged well, it will be useless to build more element towers in the future. But if enough data is collected, a more accurate conclusion can be drawn According to the law, almost every new tower built in the future can be put into production immediately, and collecting data in advance will also facilitate future maintenance.

"In the words of Calimshan scholars, every extra hour of debugging time now can reduce more than a hundred hours of repair and maintenance time in the future."

"How long will it take before we see an elemental tower that can actually produce high-quality gems?" Helian asked the question he was most concerned about.

"It depends on the actual needs. If it must be put into production immediately, the two element towers used for experiments can actually be produced, but the cost is that the debugging process will be interrupted, and it may take more time to continue research. In addition, doing so may also lead to parliamentary intervention.”

"I understand. I will open the family secret vault and try my best to last this period of time." Helion expressed his stance again.

Although he had made up his mind to open the family secret treasury, the feeling of actually taking money out of his own pocket was still very uncomfortable. Not to mention that after Ye Erlan's centralization reform, Helian's ability to accumulate resources for the family treasury was not as convenient as before.

And the most important thing is that according to the new system after the reform, although the war commander is also partially controlled by the Gaoshu Council of Elders, he has actually become a subordinate of Mian Wang, and accordingly the bulk of the military expenditure needs to be provided by Mian Wang.

If it weren't for the giant mithril mine newly discovered in the Gray Peak Mountains, Helion might not have been able to truly make up his mind to open the secret vault.

After all, it would be too hurt if you paid high military expenditures but failed to get the rewards you deserve. No matter how many times you accumulate wealth, you will not be able to withstand defeat. In the end, the war commander may have to return to his relatively independent status in the past.

…

"Philifa may still be busy communicating with Calimshan scholars. You should also pay more attention to the Elemental Tower. Once the debugging is completed, notify me immediately."

"yes."

Costa responded, then seemed to think of something, and hesitated before he dared to speak, "King Mian, in fact, we can consider purchasing a batch of arcane crystals from Netheril, this kind of universal energy gem. In fact, it is the most suitable for consumption of war spells.”

"I think so too, but the Nese people have restricted the export of arcane gems. Even if they purchase some from the market, it doesn't make much sense. However, this matter is indeed worth considering, but we don't need to do it and let the council communicate. "

What Helion wants most is not the arcane crystals, but the Mythra device that can produce arcane crystals. Thinking about how much Eerlan paid to introduce the Elemental Tower, Netheril himself has mastered an advanced energy technology.

Thinking about it really makes the elves gnash their teeth!

It's not that Helion didn't think of a way. He even cooperated with Cormanthor for this purpose, but the plan was stranded just after it started. It is said that the incarnation of the Lord God personally issued a ban in Cormanthor, not to spy on Mythra.

Although Mythra is a magical device developed by the Nese people, it was presented to the lady as a gift by the patron of the Mysterious Lady. The Mystical Lady personally left a mark on Mythra.

Erlan and Cormanthor can indeed obtain Mythra or related technologies from Netheril through abnormal means, but the price is that the Elf Lord may have to be punished by the Mysterious Lady on behalf of the mortal elves for their theft.

Even if this is just a possibility, the Elf Lord will try his best to strangle this possibility.

Fortunately, even if humans have mastered advanced energy technology like Mythra, they are still a short-lived species. It may not be possible to obtain Mythra from Netheril through normal means now, but in a few hundred or even thousands of years, , isn’t it also possible?

Immortal species will always have enough patience to wait.

In order to avoid Costa's misunderstanding, Helion also made it clear that Mythra could not be obtained through abnormal means. Although Costa was puzzled by this, he still agreed and responded to Helion's previous words:

"At the next meeting of the meeting, I will arrange for our elders to raise the issue of importing arcane crystals with Netheril."

"Well, leave this matter to the parliament. Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with us."

…

Unlike Erlan, who is planning to use the mithril mine incident to lure demons in the country, countries such as Erlan have recently focused almost all their attention on the mithril mine. However, their internal discussions are reflected in the representatives of the countries in the Northland Alliance. Seems calm.

On the other side, after the Severnton Council unanimously passed the resolution, Shado decided to conduct another prophecy ceremony.

The main reason why he did not prophesy before the temporary meeting was that he would not change his choice no matter what outcome he predicted.

But now, everything in Netheril is a foregone conclusion. At this time, performing a prophecy ritual is not to find excuses or motives for one's choice, but to spy on the demon's reality.

After making the decision, Shado immediately began to take action. On the one hand, he first contacted Oripus and asked the other party to hand over the editing rights of the projection advertising moiré in Erlan to his student Jay.

This is to guide a more certain future. In the future, as long as nothing happens to him, Jay will be the only publisher of numerous moiré announcements in the North.

As long as Xia Duo can predict any moiré announcement, he will be able to understand the major events after November 839 in the Nese calendar.

The current time on the main plane is March 840 of the Nether Calendar. Sha Duo had previously predicted that there would still be heavy snow at this time. However, in the actual timeline, although the fog event did occur, there was no subsequent climate change. occur.

Chateau speculated that perhaps the chain reaction of the water vapor migration plan, or interference from other factors, prevented the extreme weather that originally lasted until March and has not dissipated.

At this time, although the severe cold has not completely dissipated, it is much later than in previous years, but it is still a bit far away from the extreme. ()
