Arcane Lord

Although it was a simple meal, due to the conversation during the dinner, it still didn't end until nearly midnight. After that, Xia Duo returned to Jinfeng Manor, set up his avatar, and returned his consciousness to his original body.

Niya has been waiting for him, and he is still preparing to continue to try to awaken his spiritual energy independently tonight, by weakening or even depriving him of his perception.

During the preparation time before the experiment, Shado and Niya chatted about the news they received from Regante in the evening - "Kalish can actually come back from the dead. This is really an exaggeration!"

In fact, this was the main reason why he was still fighting so late. Facing such an unkillable enemy, he couldn't think of any other way to deal with it besides trying to awaken his psychic powers.

"Resurrected from the dead? Is this an exaggeration? Didn't Cliff come back from the dead before? And he still died in the star realm, even his soul was wiped out."

Niya didn't know much about Kalish and relied on Sha Duo's narration. She really didn't understand why Sha Duo cared so much about Kalish's resurrection.

"It's not a simple resurrection from the dead, but letting others use any means to kill and then come back to life. Even I can't do this method, although I can guess that there must be some limitations to that kind of resurrection method. , but the problem is that none of us know what the limitations are!”

"Ah? Then there's nothing we can do against him?" Niya also looked worried.

"It's not that there is nothing we can do." Xia Duo consoled him, "Since he can be resurrected, then we just don't have to kill him. We can seal him or banish him to a foreign land."

"Then he can kill himself, right?"

"Indeed, and it is difficult for us to prevent this kind of suicide. This is also the most difficult part for him. After much thought, I still think we should start with spiritual energy. His method of resurrection must involve spiritual energy. Without mastering spiritual energy, it may never be possible. Can't beat him."

Although he has not yet reached the stage of direct war with Kalish, Shaduo has a hunch that one day he and Kalish will be completely opposite to each other. If there is no countermeasures by then, That would be too much trouble.

But Xia Duo's words made Niya even more worried, "Can't you do it? Didn't there many arcane mages go to the south to learn psychic magic before Evereska? Don't you believe any of them?"

"It's not that I can't do it, but I now control the alliance's computing power pool, and this is Kalish's direct goal. Neither of us is willing to give in, and we will eventually reach the point of hostility. As for Avery Scar's other psychic mages—"

Speaking of this, Sha Duo couldn't help but frowned. He told Niya, "On the one hand, I really can't believe it. Those psionic mages awakened their psionic powers after being baptized with artifacts in Zhamdas. Before they became psionic masters, Affected by the artifact, and most importantly, those psychic mages now follow Kalish!

"On the other hand, those psionic mages who are also engaged in arcane magic do not show signs of fusion of arcane magic and psionic energy like Kalish. At most, they only use psionic energy to assist in the research of arcane magic. There is little point in finding them. , but it may expose the alliance’s plan.”

"Then you are betting that you can awaken your psychic powers now?" Niya was still unwilling to accept this reality.

“I have some thoughts on gambling, but I don’t put all my hopes on it. I have always had only one goal, and that is to stop Kalish’s new artifact plan.

"As long as the other party is willing to compromise, or the realistic basis for building the artifact is gone, that's fine. As for being hostile to Kalish, that's okay. Being hostile doesn't mean constant conflict. I'm afraid of him, so isn't he afraid of me? ?"

If he didn't have any confidence at all, then Shado might have considered giving up his position in the alliance long ago, instead of trying to find various ways to stop Kalish like he is now.

"By the way, I didn't know that Kalish could come back from the dead before, so I never figured out why Kalish and Zhamdas had such a relationship that seemed to be both a team and yet hostile at the same time. Now I can propose a possibility, that is -

"Kalish relied on his ability to resurrect from the dead to coerce Zhamdas to cooperate with him. Of course, it was not necessarily a direct threat. It might just be a demonstration of this ability, and then Zhamdas agreed half-heartedly.

"This should also be a point that can be exploited. In addition, Kalish is an outsider to Zhamdas after all, and he can always drive a wedge between them. But it is also difficult between the alliance and Zhamdas. Build mutual trust.”

In this case, there was one more reason for Shado to awaken his psychic powers. Originally, Kalish was both arcane and psychic, and should be the best intermediary and trustworthy transmitter between the Alliance and Zhamdas.

But it happened that Kalish had a problem.

As for other psionic mages born in the North, they were all baptized by artifacts. Before they became psionic masters and got rid of the influence of artifacts, it would be difficult to gain the trust of the North.

In fact, even if they really become psychic masters, it would be difficult for Beidi to trust them. After all, Beidi still doesn't know that artifacts affect psychic mages!

I simply feel that these psychic mages from the North are traitors.

Sha Duo felt that if he could awaken psychic powers, he should be able to become a middleman between the Northland Alliance and Zhamdas, especially now that he had experienced the temptation of Kalish and the alliance's rejection of psychic magic had been reduced a lot. situation.

…

Soon, the preparations were completed.

With all kinds of expectations, Xia Duo sat in the center of the void array again, still adopting a ritualistic way of sitting cross-legged. Then he closed his eyes, began to empty himself, and embraced nothingness.

At the same time, the void array also began to work, constantly weakening Xia Duo's perception. Like the previous experiments, as the perception disappeared little by little, he began to feel uneasy.

But this time, he had a stronger desire for psychic power than before. He used this desire to suppress his inner uneasiness and let himself sink.

As the perception completely disappeared, the only thing Xia Duo could perceive was his own existence, but this sense of existence was also constantly weakening, which touched his preset psychological defense line.

So the experiment was interrupted. When the perception returned, a lot of information poured in. He almost dizzyly accepted all this, like a person who had just experienced a return from death to rebirth.

He gasped heavily, and his mind was still recalling that experience of nothingness. For a moment, he felt that he had awakened psychic power, but in fact he had not.

…

"Take a rest first, and try again tomorrow!" Niya stepped forward and helped Xia Duo up, while she began to shut down the various equipment in the laboratory.

Seeing this, Xia Duo couldn't help but smile bitterly. He wanted to try it one or two more times, but Niya disagreed, so he could only listen to Niya.

After all, the situation was not so urgent that he had to keep trying to awaken his spiritual power.
