Arcane Lord

In this way, Shado will have a greater grasp of the next action.

Because of his understanding of sea elf magic, he even has a bigger bargaining chip. Originally, his bargaining chip was only the alliance - powerful power and the promise of survival near the sea.

But now, he seems to have found a more useful bargaining chip, that is, magic. Any promise or threat from the alliance is not as good as letting the sea elves master the real power themselves.

And Shado can do just that.

First of all, sea elf magic has begun to deviate from the path of traditional elven magic and become similar to Nether magic, but due to insufficient development, it has not evolved into a real universal arcane magic system.

If it has become a universal arcane magic system, even if the sea elves are better at water-related spells, even if there is a special environment under the sea, they can still use spells in other fields without hindrance.

Just like the blood magic of Southern Calimshan, Calimshan has only two elemental bloodlines, one is wind element and the other is fire element, but after a long period of development, it has also developed into a universal arcane magic system.

Bloodline elements only become a trigger, or an anchor point for casting spells, and will not become their own spell tendencies, that is to say -

A Calinshan scholar with fire element blood can still use various spells related to the water element domain freely and naturally.

And this is exactly what the current Belluno elves cannot or find it difficult to do.

But this is not difficult for Shado. When he first prepared for the trip to the seabed, he did not consider the general magic system. He just developed a spellcasting plan for the water element domain for his common combat strategy.

Although this plan has great limitations, there is no doubt that this is already a prototype of a general arcane magic system in the water element domain.

The reason why he can so easily obtain the magic results that the Belluno elves may have worked hard for countless years is probably the following reasons -

The first is of course because the Nether magic itself is a general arcane magic system, and the second is that Shado has been exposed to countless magic systems.

There are several relatively complete arcane magic systems in the main plane and the projection plane. (Elf magic, Calimshan's blood magic, Zhamdas's creation magic, dwarf rune magic)

There are also a large number of ancient magic systems in different stages of development recorded in the [Nether Scroll]. Some of those magic systems are already quite complete, and some are even in the stage of primitive witchcraft.

In addition, Shaduo has even come into contact with the golden dragon magic from outside the domain, which is also a real universal arcane magic developed from blood magic, but the form of expression is obviously different from Calimshan's blood magic.

All of this makes him have a far greater understanding of the essence of magic than others. With such a high-level view, it is not difficult to come up with a universal spellcasting scheme for the water element field for the sea elf magic that has already begun to develop in the direction of Nether magic.

And this is actually the prototype of the universal arcane magic system in the water element field. As long as there are more spellcasting schemes, including all known magic, who can say that it is not a real universal arcane magic system!

At present, Shado has already planned to use the universal magic system of the water element field as a bargaining chip. In the remaining voyage, he will spend more energy on this.

With the help of the computing power pool and the intelligent brain, he is constantly improving his universal spellcasting scheme in the water element field until it becomes a universal arcane magic system that is capable of self-iterative development.

…

As the Torrent continues to move forward, Shado is also constantly calculating the time and the progress of improving the sea elf magic.

Of course, in this process, Shado also has a general understanding of the basic situation in Belluno through Mela-

The current ruler of Belluno is called the [Queen of Tides], who controls the most important water element field barrier of the city-state and is also a powerful high-level wizard.

The other five high-level wizards who are in the open are all advisers to the Queen of Tides. They form the Tide Council to jointly rule the small city-state of Belluno.

The Queen of Tides is quite friendly to the land elves, and is also considered by Mela to be the least likely to collude with the Illuminati. As for the reason, although Mela did not say it clearly, there are many hints.

Just like when Sinaria first established itself in the Moon Shadow Islands, Belluno was helped by Belluno in its early days and even now.

Even many Belluno elves would go to the Evermeet Island to study magic and even settle there, and the Queen of Tides would definitely go to the Evermeet Island to study and control the power of the tides through some kind of ritual, which is also a necessary condition for becoming the queen.

Already the supreme ruler, what reason is there to undermine her own rule?

But the Queen of Tides' advisors are different. In recent years, due to the abnormal climate in the north, Ilfarran's grain production has decreased, so the grain trade with Sinaria and Belluno has been reduced.

And Sinaria itself is also relatively scarce in terms of supplies, which will also reduce the grain trade with Belluno. In this way, Belluno is equivalent to suffering a double blow.

According to Mela, the Queen of Tides' advisors have expressed their dissatisfaction in person more than once, and even threatened to cut off contact with the land.

The food in Belluno is indeed not enough to ensure that everyone is well fed, but it is not difficult to survive. After all, it is located at the intersection of many ocean currents, and fish resources are not scarce, but there is no guarantee that they will be available at all times.

So it is also necessary to raise fish and seaweed on the seafloor plains. This part is not directly consumed as the main ration, but is more used to regulate the proportion of food obtained from the ocean currents.

Belluno's food trade with Sinaria and Ilfarang is basically for the same purpose. After all, no one will hand over the key materials that determine their life and death to others.

Once it is cut off from the land, Belluno will indeed suffer a heavy blow. Many Belluno elves may suffer disasters because they cannot adapt to the life of food shortage, but on the whole, it will definitely not reach the level of famine and extinction.

But on the other hand, the trade between Sinaria, Ilfarang and Belluno is by no means charity. They can obtain many special resources that are rare or even non-existent on the land from the ocean trade.

This can be roughly called the dependence of the land on the ocean.

So from Sinaria's point of view, the Queen of Tides' advisors clamoring to sever relations can be regarded as a threat to a large extent, and it is a threat that Sinaria is likely to compromise.

After all, in the transaction between the two sides, Sinaria does not actually have much initiative. What they have, Ilfarang also has, and even more and better.

The same is true for Ilfarang. The resources they control are not unique. Instead, Belluno is the only one that controls the ocean resources in the transaction.

In this case, it is impossible to say that Sinaria and Ilfarang have no dissatisfaction with Belluno. (End of this chapter)
