Arcane Lord

There are generally few disputes among spell casters. People are rational and can weigh, consider, and consider the consequences of conflicts.

Of course, based on different concepts, cognitions or beliefs between people, disputes and conflicts are inevitable, and at this time, magic duel appears.

Under normal circumstances, it is presided over by a prestigious high-ranking spellcaster. The two have a fair duel. No one dares to cheat, and no one will tell the difference between life and death. However, the more powerful one will always have a way to use various accidents to cause the opponent to die normally.

Therefore, this kind of magic duel often becomes an "image project" for the strong.

For the weak, or when you feel that you are not sure, if you cannot compromise, then calling friends and looking for opportunities to launch a surprise attack is the most common approach.

There is a very clear difference between strong and weak, between prepared and unprepared.

Xia Duo has read in the biographies of mages that some mages were killed by prostitutes with poisonous needles when they were at the highest point on the bed, some mages were suddenly attacked when they were out and died of suffocation, and some were replaced by others. A close servant drank poisoned wine and died without warning.

There are many methods, and the essence is to create information gaps and attack some fatal shortcomings of the enemy.

But now this situation is somewhat different.

The Tower of Time is a strong player in theory. The opponent breaks conventions, challenges traditions, and violates unspoken rules. This can actually be regarded as a provocation to the Tower of Time.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo stood up suddenly and said seriously:

"Mage Aibok, we must respond immediately. You go to the south again, this time as the envoy of my Great Xia leader, and tell him to either leave or pay for the arcane crystal and give him two days. consider."

The current Tower of Time is in the Daxia Territory, and is actually integrated with the Daxia Territory. If the Tower of Time cannot respond quickly, the Tower of Time will become weak.

Then the conventions, traditions, and hidden rules will no longer exist, and other arcanists who have paid for arcane crystals will follow suit, making things difficult to control.

What the Great Xia Territory or the Tower of Time is doing now is essentially "selling" divine grace. The arcane crystals are the payment for the goods, but the arcane crystals are not collected all at once, but on a monthly basis. 5 pieces or 10 pieces.

For arcanists, this price is not high, but it will definitely be painful.

But fortunately, arcane crystallization is just a surplus of normal arcane fire energy. As long as you don't cast spells to the limit every day, there will definitely be a surplus.

In order to avoid "customers" "rebellion" or subsequent failure to pay, Xiaduo must take action as soon as possible.

…

Aibok was surprised by Xia Duo's decisiveness. He looked at Xia Duo carefully, with a calm face and deep eyes. Such a decision did not seem to be made casually, but rather as if it had been carefully considered.

At this moment, Aiboke hesitated, "Xia Duo, you must be cautious about this matter. I, I am not sure about stopping him. Once there is a conflict, it may lead to unexpected consequences."

"What consequences could be worse than doing nothing!"

Xia Duo saw clearly that as long as he did it, even if he failed, he would still show his determination to fight and maintain his authority to a certain extent.

But if you do nothing, you will gradually lose your authority and make people ready to take action.

He didn't know yet how much power the Tower of Time, the mage tower, had left, but the small organization of the Tower of Time was not even as good as the unorganized "Hidden Hand" that Niya said.

There are at least three arcanists.

And what about the Tower of Time?

There is only one arcanist, Aibok, Niya is not there, and there is not even a high-level mage. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are three or two big cats and kittens.

"Go ahead and be safe!"

"yes!"

Aibo responded and then teleported away.

After he left, Xia Duo immediately found Mayor Thain, who was having a meeting to discuss opening up roads and new sources of income, and told him one more thing——

"Immediately organize manpower to release the news that Niya has been accepted as a student by Her Highness the Princess. The sooner the better!"

Of course, this was made up by Sha Duo himself, but it is an indisputable fact that Niya was left in Severton by the princess. Unless someone asks the princess face to face, outsiders may make up their minds and think it is true!

How many people have the opportunity and the courage to ask the princess this in person!

As for whether the princess agrees to Xia Duo borrowing her name, Xia Duo can't control that much. He only hopes that Her Highness the Princess will be more tolerant to her pioneers.

Xia Duo didn't know much about the inside story of the Pioneers, but with the scepter that was immune to psychic magic, Xia Duo had reason to believe that the Pioneers must be of great use.

This is probably a different kind of "arrogance based on favor".

However, Xia Duo will not place all his hopes on this aspect. His real confidence still comes from the Tower of Time.

…

After grabbing Mayor Thain and giving him a "face-to-face instruction," Sha Duo quickly returned to the Tower of Time.

"Tower spirit, report the status of the spell pool!"

"Agent Xia Duo, the current spell pool has been damaged by 23.333%, and the condition is stable!"

Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief. After he obtained the authority to act as agent, he was in a hurry to go to town, and Cecily came to see him later, so he simply checked the status of the Tower of Time.

Among them, the spell pool is the part that Sha Duo values ​​the most, or this is the source of his authority as the agent in the Tower of Time.

The so-called spell pool is not a pool that stores spells. Similar to the element pool and energy pool, the spell pool is a huge array of spells.

These arrays are similar to enlarged and complicated magic scrolls, except that magic scrolls generally only have one spell and are disposable.

But this [Spell Pool Array] contains a large number of spells, and the most important thing is that it can be used repeatedly.

The new badge that Niya gave him before was actually the [Spell Pool Array], and the badge only served as a connection.

This is what Xia Duo came to understand after gaining the authority to act as agent.

If you want to use the [Spell Pool Array] outside the Tower of Time, you first need permission, and the second is energy.

Therefore, even ordinary people, as long as they have sufficient authority and the Mage Tower has enough energy and a special connector, they can guide the Tower of Time's spell from outside.

Unless it is a spell that has no distance limit, the further away from the Tower of Time, the more energy it will consume!

What Sha Duo is most worried about is actually this. With the current lack of energy in the Tower of Time, he doesn't know how many times the guidance spell can be used.

In addition, how much of the Tower of Time's defense capability is left due to damage?

"Ta Ling, report the energy reserve status!"

"Agent Xia Duo, the current energy reserves are insufficient. The wind element pool is 4%, the water element pool is 5%, the earth element pool is 6%, the fire element pool is 2%, the positive energy pool is 1%, and the negative energy pool is 2%."
