Arcane Lord

After talking with the copy of Hippocletus's ritual, the stone that had been weighing on Sha Duo's heart for a long time finally loosened a little.

Although it cannot be concluded that the wise man of the Illuminati is the wood elf apprentice in the Erlan legend, the possibility is still very high. The only regret is that that guy may have been hiding in the dark and has no public identity.

Of course, the public identity here is that of a public figure who has reached a certain level and has certain recognition. If the other party has been hidden among the people, it will be difficult to handle.

In the office, Shado repeatedly considered the information obtained from Hippocletes. After a while, Charles came to notify that the alliance representatives had summoned him.

So Xia Duo put back his chaotic thoughts and went to the agreed meeting place.

…

Covenant Hall.

As soon as he entered, Xia Duo noticed that the seating layout inside had changed a lot compared to before, from the previous circular conference table to the current two-by-two facing each other.

On one side were the representatives of the alliance who were already seated, on the other side there was a lonely seat that was empty, obviously prepared for him, and on both sides of the main seat, there were a certain number of observers.

This looked like an interrogation specifically aimed at him.

This is certainly not an interrogation, but the nature is not much different. Before coming, Tirion, the representative of Netheril in the Northland Alliance, had summoned Shado to remind him that this summons was more about asking about Everesca's changes, and It's not an arrest operation.

"Counsellor Xia Duo, please sit down and talk!" Euphnis, the rotating speaker for this month, was the first to speak, and his attitude was quite friendly.

Xia Duo was not worried about the retaliation from various countries. He sat down opposite the alliance representative calmly, and then Euphonius spoke again:

"Consultant Shado, I believe you already know why we called you here this time. Can you explain why Everesca was removed? This issue is of great concern to everyone."

"Ok, I know."

Shado glanced at the elves, humans, and dwarves in the auditorium on both sides. He thought of the depressed scene he saw when he first arrived in Evereska today. This question really needs to be answered.

“First of all, what I want to say is that moving Evereska is not a decision I can make alone. I have received the authorization from the Evereska Elder Council, and everything I have done is reasonable and legal.

"Secondly, as to why Everiska must be removed, what I want to say is - at that time, I was assisting the alliance intelligence department to arrest some suspects in the Elam incident, but all of us were left without a trace. What comes to mind is that the Illuminati was very well prepared in Evereska, and all the key figures escaped.

"In this case, of course we would choose to continue tracking, so we discovered the escape direction of those Illuminati members, which was underground in Evereska. Because there was a precedent for the previous Elam incident, I made a bright decision about it. It is very likely that Evriska's judgment will be attacked in the near future.

"Without our previous actions, the Illuminati might have scheduled the attack for a future day, but because our actions yesterday suddenly exposed their secret stronghold, I think it is very likely that they will start taking action immediately.

“So, with the consent of Evereska, I decided to cut Evereska from the platform below and temporarily move it away so that I could concentrate on dealing with the Illuminati stronghold below.

"It turns out that my preparations were not redundant. One of the three high mages in the stronghold, one of whom can be called a dead soldier, did not care about his own comfort. In that situation, he even thought about counterattacking or directly attacking Evereska. .

"With my utmost protection, their plot was perfectly foiled. In the end, only one of the High Mage was allowed to escape. The rest of the Illuminati members, including a High Mage, have all been captured."

All mages have a certain idea of ​​how powerful a high mage is, and a dead high mage is even more extraordinary. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the limit of an individual's power in the mortal world.

At least five or more equal beings are needed to suppress it. This is also the real reason why no one in the declining upper-class families who only have one high-ranking mage waiting to die dares to persecute them head-on.

Those high-level mages who are still resisting death at the end of their lifespan are far from being a match for any normal high-level mage in conventional strength, and even senior mages may not be able to beat them.

However, these high mages who have reached the end of their lifespan still have the possibility to release all their power, but the price is to die completely, without the possibility of going to Avandor to continue living.

For a high mage, the end of his mortal life does not mean the end of his individual destiny. He can still go to Avandor. This is the main reason why most elves are not taboo about death.

Even if it were not forbidden by the order of the Lord Elf God, most of the low-level elves would actually prefer to commit suicide and live in another world. No matter how bad it is there, it is not necessarily worse than the main plane.

This is the double life of an elf.

From this perspective, we can also see how powerful a high mage who could have lived for two lives (the latter one is almost eternal) would gain from completely giving up the future.

Sha Duo himself also has the incarnation of a saint. He is very aware of the terrifying power of this kind of power. As long as he completely releases the saint form, he can transform into a small god of magic.

As long as this mage can imagine it, as long as the magic network can realize it, it is possible to realize it, it just depends on how long this mage can sustain it.

If you can always maintain the state of complete liberation of the saint form, you can walk sideways in the main plane, even if the whole world is full of enemies, you can conquer them one by one.

This is much better than any war magic platform. Xia Duo now has two main war magic platforms, one is the floating city, and the other is the robe of missing, but the durability of these two is relative to individual casters.

In itself, there are also limits. Apart from other things, if it is an artifact, it must be maintained, and the completely liberated saint form is like a war magic platform that does not require maintenance, and it is more flexible.

Xia Duo’s first incarnation in [Projected Plane·Red Heart Alliance] was to leave in the form of a completely liberated saint, with the purpose of creating a new puzzle that he could not create at his true level.

Later, that puzzle became the foundation of the Red Heart Alliance puzzle. Xia Duo’s second incarnation was also because of the authority of that puzzle, so he could obtain the authority of the Red Heart Alliance puzzle more than a thousand years later, and then sweep all kinds of information from the puzzle database like a supermarket.

A phrase from Xia Duo's hometown can well describe the feeling of completely liberating the Saint form, which is - when the time comes, the heaven and earth will be united!

Unfortunately, no high-level wizard has mastered the ability to maintain the Saint form completely liberated for a long time, whether in the projection plane or in the main plane, and even the Saint form itself is difficult to maintain for a long time.

Not to mention complete liberation, as long as the power released is slightly more, it will enter an irreversible state, and the more power released, the shorter the duration.

So this method cannot be used as a means of conventional combat, but as a deterrent, it is really afraid of invading.
