Arcane Lord

"Teacher, can you help me see if my current grace is enough to offer a new achievement to the Lady of Mystery?" Xia Duo looked at Iolum expectantly.

In fact, he could sense the grace of the Lady of Mystery that he had, and he had even used it to expand the upper limit of the magic network to store spells, but he was not sure about the specific amount of grace.

Only a dedicated priest would know this. As long as Xia Duo was willing, he could also sense the holy power of the Lady of Mystery like Iolum, but he didn't want to do that, so he could only ask Iolum to help him take a look.

Iolum certainly agreed to Xia Duo's request. He raised his hand with a blue-white glow and waved it in front of Xia Duo, then closed his eyes to sense, as if communicating with the Lady of Mystery. After a moment, he opened his eyes and told Xia Duo with some surprise:

"I didn't expect you to get so much grace in the past few years, enough to offer three new achievements!"

Dedicating innovative achievements is actually applying for a patent from the Lady of Mystery, similar to a certified personal magic mark. As long as other spellcasters use it improperly, they will be reminded, and in serious cases, they will be deprived of the ability to cast spells.

Of course, this kind of certification only exists in the field of the mystery lady. Priests are inevitable. As long as other people apply for personal magic marks, it is equivalent to recognizing this system. If they do not apply, there will be no punishment for impersonation. This is the limitation of the priesthood.

God will not meddle in other people's affairs, but in their own field, they will not miss any of them.

Therefore, whether the elves recognize the patent of the mystery lady depends on whether the main god of the elves recognizes it. Judging from the patent of Misera, the main god of the elves obviously recognizes the patent system of the mystery lady.

This is enough. If the main god of the elves recognizes it, then the upper elves will basically not deny it. As for the lower elves, when they have the ability to infringe patents, they will no longer be at the bottom, and they will naturally abide by the corresponding rules at that time.

However, if there are only three patents, it is still a long way from the patent barrier that Xia Duo needs to build!

But now, there is an opportunity to exchange money for God's grace, that is, to clear the decay field. If it is other repair projects, no matter how much money is spent or how many arcanists are forced to come, after the repair is completed, the grace belongs to them. It is like spending money to help others get grace.

But now, as long as the person who invests in the magic item is yourself, the grace is yours, and you don't need to know who made the magic item.

This is also an extremely rare opportunity to directly exchange money for grace!

"If I sacrifice a Mithra tomorrow, how much grace do you think I can get?"

"The amount of grace has nothing to do with the magic item you invest, but it has to do with the support for the repair of the magic network. If the effect of investing in Mithra is the same as investing in a bright cane, then the grace you get is the same as investing in a bright cane."

Xia Duo also understands this principle, so there is a situation where arcanists chase newly discovered maze ruins, because the difficulty of repairing newly discovered maze ruins in the early stage is much lower than in the later stage, but the grace obtained is only related to the progress.

This creates a problem of the efficiency of obtaining divine favor. Given the character of most Netherese mages, they will of course give priority to pursuing newly discovered ruins of mazes, and turn a blind eye to ruins that have been repaired by other arcanists.

Some arcanists who have poor skills but are lucky enough to catch up with the early stage of the magic network repair often leave greater trouble for the later repairs. It is not that they are subjectively willing to do so, but objectively it does cause difficulties for subsequent repairers.

In the end, it may not be completely repaired. Most of the numerous magic network dead zones in Netheril are caused by this. Of course, there are also dead zones formed directly after the ancient mazes were scrapped. In the eyes of arcanists, there is no need to repair these. It is a thankless job. It is possible that they will not earn divine favors, but will lose a lot.

For those dead zones, only arcanists who have extremely firm faith in the Lady of Mysteries will try to repair them. Those arcanists are no longer purely for obtaining divine favors, but for protecting the magic network and the normal environment for magic operation.

And not only in Netheril, but also in the dead zone outside Netheril, if the opportunity arises, they don't mind repairing it, which is beyond the realm of ordinary Nether wizards.

After the establishment of the Northern Alliance, Netheril has proposed more than once to establish a magic network repair organization within the alliance framework, specializing in repairing the magic network in the North, with members mainly composed of arcane masters, and elves can also join in.

The purpose of Netheril's proposal is certainly not simple, but objectively speaking, it is indeed a good thing for the main plane.

However, when it comes to the expansion of Netheril's influence and the various secrets involved in the abnormal magic network in various countries, Netheril's proposal has been rejected.

And now, through this Illuminati attack, Shado has seen the fragility of the magic network or the magic network of the main plane, so he believes that it is very necessary and necessary to establish a special magic network repair organization or magic network protection organization.

This is not like the magic restriction treaty, which is used to restrict the development of magic in late-developing countries under the guise of protecting the magic network.

It is really only used to protect the magic network. All countries can consider re-discussing and signing a special treaty for protecting the magic network of the main plane, and then establish a special magic network protection organization based on this condition.

Protecting the magic network is protecting the caster himself.

At this point, arcanists are more adaptable than elf mages, but arcanists are not born and need to be cultivated from ordinary people and advanced from ordinary mages.

If the magic network environment is corrupted, it will inevitably affect the inheritance and growth of arcanists.

If the situation is serious, there is no need to wait for the living environment of the main plane to be destroyed. Spellcasters will not be able to bear the high cost of casting and research, and choose to move to other planes.

In that case, although the main plane is still a livable plane, it has lost the key soil for the development of magic, and continuous decline is the only outcome.

This is just like in the earth's universe, where the cost of all scientific activities on earth suddenly increased tenfold or even higher. In this case, even if the earth can still be inhabited, it has lost its development potential.

Of course, as of the time when Xiaduo traveled across the Earth's universe, there was only one planet to migrate to: Earth. Coupled with the limitations of aerospace technology, no matter how high the cost of conducting scientific activities on Earth was, humans would not be able to give up on science, the only way to enter the universe.

But in the magical world, even if no other large habitable planes have been discovered yet, there are already more than one small planes. Take the three sweet water planes of Netheril as an example. Although they are small planes, they are still habitable. Millions of people!

It can be used as a temporary residence.

In other words, the magic network environment on the main plane is not as important to the caster as the earth's environment is to the people on earth, so this also leads to the difficulty of protecting the magic network. (End of chapter)
