Arcane Lord

"Is there anything else you need to pay attention to?"

"What's going on?" Xia Duo asked.

"It's about the plane exploration array."

Saying that, Niya turned to look at Sha Duo, "I learned from the teacher that if you want to search for new planes more efficiently, whether it is a projected plane or a real sub-plane, you need professional searchers. "

"I understand, but what should I pay attention to?"

"Pay attention to people." As she spoke, Niya took out two books from the dimensional bag and handed them to Sha Duo. At the same time, she explained, "The projection plane is essentially just a spiritual fragment of the star world. If you want to search more efficiently, It is necessary to cultivate professional astral mages, and the same search for sub-planes also requires the cultivation of specialized plane scholars. "

"Astral Mage? Plane Scholar?" Sha Duo repeated these two new words. From the literal meaning of the Nese language, he meant a spellcaster who was proficient in the knowledge of the astral and planes.

After flipping through these two books, one was "Exploration of the Star Boundary" and the other was "Preliminary Interpretation of Planes". The specific contents were not checked at the moment. Xia Duo put away the book and asked again:

"How can we pay attention to these two kinds of people?"

"Astral mages need to have outstanding spiritual talents; while plane scholars need to have outstanding plane affinity abilities." Niya said a series of words that made Xia Duo very unfamiliar.

"Is there any special detection method? Also, how do you find the astral mages and plane scholars in other places?"

To be honest, what bothers Xia Duo the most is the attributes that cannot be quantified, such as spiritual talent. There has never been an instrument or spell that can directly measure how many points the spirit is.

This very vague concept makes Xia Duo, a person with a background in science and engineering, very uncomfortable.

Niya's answer also made Xia Duo feel even worse, "Without detection methods, even prophecies are rarely useful. Most of the astral mages in the teacher's place are priests who are proficient in magic, and plane scholars Most of them are arcanists, and they must have experience in plane travel. The more times they travel, the stronger their plane affinity, and the projection plane is not included. "

A cleric proficient in magic? Any arcanist who has traveled through the planes?

This gave Xia Duo a headache, which made him look for it there, but he also understood that Niya was making long-term plans. If the Tower of Time wanted to develop, these people must be in place.

Of course, this does not mean that without astral mages and plane scholars, the plane exploration array cannot be used, but the efficiency will be lower.

Thinking of plane travel, Xia Duo remembered that he had been to the shadow plane not long ago, so he asked: "Does going to the shadow plane count as having experience in plane travel?"

Of course Niya knew what Xia Duo was talking about, but she wasn't very clear either. After all, she had just become a student of Her Highness the Princess, and the information she obtained was still very limited.

After thinking about it, Niya said, "I'm not sure. I'll wait until I go back to Severton to find out more before I send the message back."

"Um."

Then, seeing that Niya seemed to have nothing to say, Shado wanted to ask about the situation in the Hawk Territory. After all, Aquilaine was imprisoned in the Tower of Time. It would be a lie to say that Shado was not worried at all.

Even though it is now known that Niya has really become the princess's student, there is no guarantee that some people will be irrational.

It is true that the mage prefers rationality, but human nature is complex after all. Sha Duo does not believe that anyone can remain absolutely rational. In that case, people cannot be called human beings.

"Niya——"

"correct--"

Almost at the same time, Niya also spoke, so the two of them were stunned at the same time. Xia Duo looked at Niya calmly, "You go ahead!"

"You—" Niya hesitated, but still asked, "Is the situation going well over there in Daxia?"

"It went very well!" Xia Duo thought that Niya wanted to ask about the situation of the elemental channel, so he continued, "Over there, the three arcanists of the [Hidden Hand] have agreed to use spells to help open the river, and they have also contacted We have recruited four other arcanists, and if nothing else happens, we should be able to complete it before the autumn harvest."

"Ah!" Niya was a little surprised, but also a little happy. She didn't expect that not long ago, it was just a planned element channel, and now it will be completed soon.

However, that was not what she wanted to ask just now, "Xia Duo, what I want to ask about is the development situation of Daxia Territory!"

"How is the development of Daxia Territory?"

Although it was a little strange why Niya specifically asked this, Xia Duo had nothing to hide, so he said, "The development is going quite smoothly. With the 200 households you allocated, the speed is now greatly improved. The first phase of Linshui Village It has been completed, but it will be time-consuming to continue to cultivate farmland, and it may not be able to catch up with this year’s autumn planting.”

"In terms of development, you have to pay more attention. At the end of the year, the teacher may come to inspect. If the performance is good, the teacher will probably give you a reward."

Regarding this topic, Niya did not go into too much depth, but just mentioned it a little bit, and then said another thing, "After a while, the teacher will send someone to take away the elf mage."

"Elf mage?"

Sha Duo immediately thought of the one imprisoned in the Tower of Time. Originally, he was thinking about when he would be able to torture and get some secrets from the elf mage, but now——

"I understand, I will receive it personally when the time comes."

"Yes." Niya felt a little depressed when she saw Sha Duo agreed so quickly. She was actually unwilling to hand over the elf mage.

This elf mage has a lot to do with her father's curse, and Niya never thought of letting him go.

But some time ago, a group of elf refugees came to Severton and asked the teacher for asylum. The teacher agreed. But what she didn't expect was that those elf refugees were actually related to the elf mage who was imprisoned in the Tower of Time.

And she couldn't refuse the teacher's request. At that moment, Niya regretted not killing the elf mage directly.

Sha Duo felt the subtle changes in Niya's mood, so he thought of changing the topic and also asked the questions he wanted to ask before.

"Niya, will there be a recurrence in the Hawk Territory?"

After hearing Xia Duo's inquiry, Niya regained her composure, "Not sure, but Archmage Auron has been appointed by the Austrian Law Federation to lead an investigation team to the Hawk Territory to investigate the assassination. This matter will not happen in a short time. If there is any news, I will know it as soon as possible, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

"Yeah." Xia Duo nodded, feeling really relieved.

Having had the experience of raiding Aquilaine, he was actually afraid that others would do this to him, but hiding in the Mage Tower all the time was unrealistic. Now Niya had brought him good news.

However, no matter how good the news is, it cannot absolutely guarantee safety, but it can only increase the sense of security. The vigilance and preparation that should be done are still indispensable.
