Arcane Lord

While Xia Duo continued to explore deep underground, he also made fine adjustments to the movement route according to the positions of several suspected underdark passages synchronized by the rear magician, so as to avoid detours as much as possible.

Soon he arrived at the first marked location, and as expected, it turned out to be just an address fracture zone. It might be called an underground fissure, but it was still far from the real passage to the Underdark.

Xia Duo also quickly passed by and re-examined the locations marked after that, but still found nothing.

During this process, the alliance's rear continued to mark new suspected locations for further review. As a result, the first floor (the level ten new miles underground of Elan) was detected, and more and more locations were waiting for review.

Xia Duo felt that it was not an option to continue like this. There must be a more efficient detection or inspection method, otherwise there might be no new hairstyles even if you are busy to death.

Thinking like this, he simply stopped and concentrated on thinking. If he could find a more efficient method, it would be easy not to come back after this time.

It was at this time that the Hou Dharma Master sent news again. This time, the suspected location to be reviewed was still synchronized, but at the same time there was one more piece of news, and that was——

According to the relevant documents preserved by Elam and Sruvend, the scope of suspicion was narrowed down, and several locations were highlighted, all of which corresponded to records of drow gathering events in the surface area.

Although Sluvende also conducted detailed inspections of these areas at that time, he did not find the Underdark passage, and there have never been any cases of drow suddenly appearing in those locations.

But since they had to exhaust all means, Sluvende and Elan also brought out these records that were difficult to distinguish between true and false, and finally handed them over to Shado.

"well!"

Xia Duo let out a long sigh and decided to check these highlighted locations first, and then think of other solutions.

…

With the slightest expectation, Xia Duo deviated from the original route and went straight to the first marked location. The hope was good, but the result was disappointing.

The first marked location was not even a geological anomaly. After repeated inspections, no traces of magic used for hiding or camouflage were found.

If this is the passage to the Underdark, it can only mean that the magic level of the Illuminati has reached the sky. In this case, the alliance countries may consider evacuating the main plane now.

The actual alliance is still resisting, and Shado doesn't think the Illuminati's magic level can be that high. They may have mastered some secrets in the time field, but in the field of conventional magic, they can never surpass the alliance.

Otherwise, the Illuminati would have ruled the Northland openly, instead of hiding in the dark all the time. They could only carry out terrorist attacks to resist when they were hit by various attacks, but could not effectively fight back. Until now, they were forced out of the country. A last ditch effort for magic.

Therefore, if no abnormality is found after repeated inspections, it can basically be considered that there is no abnormality.

This was the first marked position. For the rest, Xia Duo actually didn't have much expectations, but he still went over and checked them carefully one by one.

It was exactly what he thought: nothing unusual.

So next, Xia Duo slacked off a lot in using [Wide Area Detection] for detection. He concentrated on thinking about other feasible detection or inspection methods.

This thought really made him think of it!

Earth elements, or earth element elders who have wisdom and can communicate, of course earth element lords can also be used, and they are better.

The underground earth and stone environment is to the earth element just like the air environment is to humans and the water environment is to fish. It cannot be more adaptable.

If it is an earth element elder or lord with command, there is no shortage of detection methods in this environment. If he can find one, two or more people to help, he will probably be much more efficient than he is now.

So where can I find earth element elders or lords?

Shado immediately thought of the arcane masters of Netheril's [Hidden Hand] organization, followed by the Maired family of Calimshan in the south.

In the former, he saw with his own eyes those arcanists who summoned the earth element when they came to the southern border to repair the magic network. At that time, they opened an east-west direction to guide the water element leaked from the final repair node to the Wolfburg River in the west. of the new river.

This is the current Linshui River in the Shado territory. The elemental fountain at the source is the trace left by the [Hidden Hand] arcanist to repair the magic network.

As for the Mairead family, although the elemental bloodline of Calimshan is dominated by wind and followed by fire, when they open up the elemental plane, they only have the wind war, which means that generally they only open up the wind elemental plane.

But Calimshan's blood magic has long been developed to the stage of general magic. Has it been that elemental planes with other attributes have never been developed in so many years?

Even if it is not developed, has it never been discovered?

Calimshan started out as an elemental creature, and even their bloodline came from elemental creatures. Shado didn't believe that there was no earth element there. It might be very rare, but it shouldn't be impossible.

So Shado regarded Calimshan as a secondary option.

But no matter whether it was primary or secondary, he contacted them at the same time. After all, the underground area to be detected next was really not small. Of course, the more earth elements used for detection, the better. How could it be too much?

…

When contacting the Hidden Hand, Shado not only explained the whole story to Master Orinth, with whom he had exchanged contact information at the time, but also asked the Seven Towers and Iollum to help coordinate or find other possible sources of earth elements.

In short, he made full use of the resources in Netheril.

When contacting the Maired family, Shado not only explained the situation to the Maired family and even Tarafu, the observer representing Calimshan in the North, but also sought more sources of earth elements from mages from various countries in the Alliance Command Network.

The first person to respond to Shado was his friend Tarafu, who almost immediately sent a message to express his willingness to help inquire about the family or other families in Calimshan. Tarafu was not the first heir of the Maired family, and he had limited knowledge of the family secrets. Giving a positive response at the first time was the limit of what he could do.

Shado expressed his gratitude.

The second person to respond was undoubtedly his teacher Iollum, and Iollum's response was more direct, directly sending two elder-level earth element spirits to Yongle City.

Xia Duo's main body received it, and then transferred it to the incarnation through the portable space. However, his research on elemental spirits was very limited, and he focused more on wind elemental spirits, and knew even less about earth elemental spirits.

And the most important thing was that he didn't know how to enslave or persuade a wise earth element elder to help him.

As for how to turn the earth elemental spirit into a living earth element creature, it was very simple. The existence of elemental spirits meant that the elemental creatures were not completely dead. As long as they were placed in a suitable environment, they would recover by themselves.

For the earth elemental spirit, it was probably to provide the elemental spirit with enough earth elements (energy), which was not a problem at all for Xia Duo holding the robe of longing.
