Arcane Lord

When the magic ship Torrent was sailing fast in the deep sea, the main body of Shado in Yongle City finally waited for the first batch of support from Netheril.

There were a total of 78 people, led by Shado's old friend, the wizard Brundes of the Kilan Tower. When the two met, Brundes immediately began to greet:

"This batch of seven-tower elites is handed over to Lord Shado, and I hope Lord Shado will teach them more when he has time."

"Don't worry, these people will definitely benefit from me!" Shado promised without any worries.

Of course there will be gains. Not to mention the alliance merits obtained from this, at least they can get access to the most advanced war spell system at present.

If the operation goes smoothly, Shado will also open the advanced function of the computing pool for them. Now it is wartime, he has too many resources, and he only hates that he has no place to use them, and he will not worry about the impact of giving too many resources on himself.

With this promise from Shado, Brunds finally relaxed his brows with relief. After all, Shado had urged too much before, and the description of the timeline battlefield learned from the Alliance made the Seventh Tower somewhat worried.

"Then I won't disturb Lord Shado's arrangements. There should be two more groups of people later. I will try my best to send the Seventh Tower before three o'clock, and I will also help to urge the other councilors."

"Well, I won't entertain you during the war. We'll get together next time when we have time."

After that, Shado didn't care about Brunds's stay. He brought the 78 Seventh Tower mages who had just arrived to the central control level of Yongle City and started a brief pre-job training.

...

On the other side, in the Torrent.

The incarnation of Shado was still talking to Mela, Tyron and others. While training in Yongle City, they happened to talk about the high-level mages of Belluno.

"There are only six high-level mages in Belluno who have had actual contact with us, but through our understanding over the years, we speculate that there are at least two high-level mages in Belluno who have never appeared. Perhaps they are guarding against something, or perhaps they have entered the stage of resisting death."

Mera provided the latest news. Xia Duo was more interested in this aspect, so he continued to ask: "What is the biggest difference between sea elf magic and surface magic?"

Xia Duo has not actually come into contact with sea elf mages. At most, he has come into contact with some sea elf magic in the projection plane, but this is not enough for him to discover the fundamental difference between sea elf magic and surface magic.

Style is indeed one aspect, but even the elf magic that has been in contact and exchanged for a long time on the surface will have some subtle differences between different countries and regions. It is even said that sea elves have long been differentiated into another species and live in the underwater environment.

Style does not represent essence. In addition to style, Xia Duo thinks that there should be more essential differences between sea elf magic and surface magic.

Otherwise, with the adaptability of elf magic, it may not be impossible to use the underwater environment. If this is the case, it is unlikely that sea elf magic with such a different style will be produced.

There must be changes in some key places.

This question, Tyron may not be able to answer, but Mela can, and the fact is that Mela is explaining, and Tyron trembles his ears to show that he is happy to listen.

"Sea elf magic and surface elf magic have indeed evolved into fundamental differences. It is more troublesome to explain directly, but if you compare it, it is almost the difference between Nether magic and elf magic."

After saying this, Shaduo immediately reacted and asked again: "Has sea elf magic abandoned the affinity of the magic network?"

The biggest difference between traditional elf magic and Nether magic is the so-called affinity of the magic network. The Nether people first learned traditional elf magic, which requires long-term training to obtain the affinity attribute of the magic network.

Once the magic network affinity is achieved, the magic network will automatically respond when the caster casts the spell, which is equivalent to "opening your mouth for food and stretching your hands for clothes."

However, the caster under the Nether magic system needs to complete all the casting elements personally, but the benefits are also quite obvious.

For long-lived species like elves, it is considered "long-term" training, but for short-lived species like humans, it means that it is almost impossible to reach the peak.

Historical facts also prove this point. In the early days of Netheril, many magic geniuses emerged, but the highest achievers among them were just elite mages, equivalent to high-level mages in the Nether magic system.

In retrospect, the magic knowledge provided by Yeerlan at that time did not deliberately set obstacles for the Nether people, but elven magic itself is an obstacle for humans.

It greatly hindered the progress of geniuses.

Even the most talented people still need a lot of time to train magic network affinity in the elven magic system, but in the Nether magic system, although long-term training is still required, this long-term training is only for humans.

As long as you are smart enough and cross the threshold of spellcasting, you can quickly reach the top in the Nether magic system. The only difference is some spellcasting proficiency, that's all.

But the upper limit is actually broken through, unlike the elven magic, where the upper limit is almost impossible to break through without corresponding training time, which has nothing to do with the intelligence of the spellcaster.

In Shaduo's opinion, the entry threshold of Naise magic is extremely low, which is conducive to popularization and is also very suitable for geniuses to upgrade quickly. It can be regarded as a progressive or radical magic system.

Traditional elven magic is not easy to get started with, and requires a lot of time to train. It is most suitable for the upper class with a carefree life as a harsh barrier to prevent the lower class from rising. It is a conservative or even backward magic system.

Of course, this view is still Shaduo's personal opinion. The current elven magic is a ready-made product left over from the prosperous period of ancient elven civilization.

Perhaps when human magic civilization develops to a certain extent, it will also follow the old path of the elves and deliberately set up obstacles for the popularization of magic.

Shaduo even thought of the textbooks in his hometown. The early textbooks had a clear system, and anyone with normal thinking could learn by themselves. Later, with the development, the textbooks became unsystematic, which greatly hindered students' self-study and understanding, and then contributed to the prevalence of extracurricular tutoring.

Various experiences from his hometown and Netheril in the past told Shaduo that when a society is in urgent need of development, nothing will become an obstacle. Once the society develops to a certain extent, obstacles similar to "anti-self-study" will appear in all aspects.

This also reminds him that in the process of development, we must constantly seek and explore new development opportunities, which is equivalent to constantly raising the upper limit, so that civilization is always in the primary stage of development, which is conducive to the unity of all classes for development.

This is also a bit similar to the "Way of Water". The lower the position, the greater the driving force for development. (Potential energy conversion~)

The sages in my hometown once said, "Great success is like lack, and great fullness is like rushing." Perhaps a good system is to allow people to always see the current shortcomings, so that there will always be room for development. (End of this chapter)
