Arcane Lord

This experience also gave Xia Duo a reminder that the perfect defense mechanism he thought of himself might be open to the outside world from another perspective.

Xia Duo actually did some research in this regard. For example, the influence of the previous Tower of Time could exist in the main plane, the etheric plane, and the shadow plane at the same time, so it was natural to establish protective measures in the three planes at the same time.

Lord Hawke sent people to the South Territory to cause trouble because he ignored the protection of the shadow plane, which gave Xia Duo the opportunity to capture the arcane master in one fell swoop and detained him in the Tower of Time, buying time for his subsequent growth.

But in the past, Xia Duo was more focused on protecting the etheric plane, the astral plane, and the shadow plane, which were almost parallel to the material plane. That is, when establishing protective measures, these three planes would be involved at the same time.

In particular, many countermeasures have been designed for the behavior of using these three planes as a transit to cross the protective measures.

Judging from what Uta discovered today, it seems that the elemental plane also has great potential, or more accurately, the inner plane that exists inside the material may also become a loophole in protection.

But he is not an elemental creature after all. Even if he has blood related to wind and water, he has never encountered a scene like today.

Taking the Mage Tower as an advantage, almost most of the Mage Towers use spells to draw water, rather than introducing river water into the Mage Tower. The same is true for air. The air inside and outside the Mage Tower is not connected.

So he has never considered using wind and water to invade, but now, it seems that most of the protection mechanisms of the material plane can be bypassed from the inner plane.

Apart from anything else, at least Uta's extraordinary perception ability in the field of earth elements and the disguise of the Illuminati that can be easily seen through by this ability are enough to reflect the application potential in this direction.

For a while, Shado even wanted to invite Uta to join the Tower of Time to specialize in research related to the inner plane, but now it is still important to do business. Anyway, Uta is in Calimshan and will not run away. It is not too late to invite him after the war.

Moreover, he also had to think carefully about what conditions the Tower of Time should offer to attract Wuta to join. As a Calimshan scholar, Wuta should not lack various research resources.

The only breakthrough is probably that the other party has become an elemental creature.

Although Calimshan magic has developed into a real universal arcane magic, it is developed from blood magic after all, and it is inevitable that it will neglect the research related to the earth element field.

Although the major arcane magic systems of the main plane now have the characteristics of a universal magic system, they are still a long way from the scientific system of Xiaduo's hometown.

The most obvious point is that the magic research of the main plane focuses more on applied research, and invests little in basic research, or does not invest at all. Those basic research results are often by-products of applied research.

According to Xiaduo's understanding, at present, only the Tower of Time has invested a lot of resources in basic research, such as the Plane Exploration Center, which was originally established for the purpose of discovering new planes.

But later, under the guidance of Xiaduo's ideas, it gradually became an exploration of the essence of planes and etheric layers, and discovering new planes became a secondary goal.

Of course, this is because the Seventon Council has cooperated with the Golden Dragon Plitatis to discover many new planes and shared them with all the council members, but if the goal is to discover new planes, this goal has been achieved.

There is no need to continue to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in the future, even if it is to explore different technical routes for discovering new planes, it should not be invested so much.

But Shado still invested, and even the most valuable human resources at the moment-high-level mages who have received the inheritance ceremony, have been allocated several batches in succession. If it were other mage tower organizations, they would never be so generous.

Giving full support is a great attraction for someone who wants to engage in research, but if Uta's mind is not on research, it may be in vain.

This is also one of the reasons why Shado did not invite immediately. It is better to wait until after the war to ask the Tarafu or Maired family about the situation of Uta and Uta's family, and understand the other party's needs before prescribing the right medicine.

As for now, we should find a way to bypass the disguise of the Illuminati and enter the rift to see if we can find the passage to the Dark Region and then find the core ritual of the Illuminati.

Thinking of this, Shado asked Wuta: "Is there any way to bypass the disguise here and get in?"

"Yes, the mage who disguised here thought that the underground rift was just a geological gap, but he thought too badly. This disguise can't stop me at all."

Uta immediately gave a positive answer, and also suggested that Shado simply bypass this place and take another road, and it would not touch the disguise or warning magic here at all.

"Is that so!"

Shado thought about it and agreed with Wuta's suggestion. After all, Wuta is an expert in the field of earth and stone, and he has always respected the opinions of experts.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Wuta."

With the help of Tarafu's transfer, Shado quickly communicated the details with Wuta, and then the two of them bypassed this area one after another and fled further down.

As they went down, Wuta was also introducing information about underground fissures to Xia Duo: "Many underground fissures are the extension of the Dark Region. Small ones become underground fissures, while large ones may extend to the surface and become Dark Region channels.

"I have studied many Underdark fissures and channels in the south. They have one thing in common, which is that they are difficult to destroy. Even if the geological fissures on the surface are destroyed, the influence of the Underdark at its root does not disappear, but will be transferred, and then gradually generate other fissures or channels.

"Of course, such transfers are not always like this. It is still related to the corresponding Underdark. Some Underdark channels that go directly to the surface may disappear forever after being destroyed once, but some underground fissures can be transferred and reborn several times after being destroyed. It is difficult to have a constant number. ”

So that’s how it is. Before, Shado only knew that the formation of the Underdark passage was very strange. Sometimes, even though it had been destroyed, new ones could be found nearby.

This phenomenon is difficult to explain. Could it be that the wizard who destroyed the Underdark passage deliberately let it go? Obviously, it is unlikely, especially for a country like Cormanthor that extremely hates and fears the drow.

If the Underdark passage can be destroyed once and for all, they will never let it go.

Of course, even so, it cannot be simply assumed that the Underdark passage discovered in the Dragon Spine Mountains a few years ago was the product of the underground passage transfer of the drow war that caused heavy losses to the countries of the Restal Forest before the birth of Cormanthor.
