Arcane Lord

After returning to the territory, Shado handed Mort to Leiden for arrangement. After all, Savile Territory and Priest Tus also lived in the Temple of the Lord of Glory. Perhaps they had a tacit understanding of getting along with each other.

After that, Sha Duo hurried to the river digging site. It seemed that he was only delayed in Savile Territory for a day, but with the projection plane and his party, this time was too long.

Fortunately, when he was in the projection plane, Xia Duo had considered this situation and wrote down in his notes what he had to do when he returned to the main plane. Checking the progress of the river excavation site was one of them.

The river channel is related to the timely construction of the elemental channel. The elemental channel can calm the riots of the magic network in the Mysterious Ruins. The Tower of Time is in it, and the energy consumption is also related to it.

This is intertwined with each other, and it even involves the issue of whether the 500 river workers can return before Savile takes the autumn harvest.

The three arcanists of [Hidden Hand] agreed to help, and were even willing to contact other arcanists. The specific number of people, Xia Duo only remembered after reading the notes, was four.

There are seven arcanists in total, which is really a powerful help.

From the Wolfburg River in the west to the Mystery Ruins in the east, all the trees along the straight line where the Elemental Passage is located have been knocked down long ago, and stubborn tree roots, stones and the like are now being cleared away.

The help of the seven arcanists is also used here.

…

This "element passage" was not long, only more than a mile. With Xia Duo's physical fitness, even if the road conditions in the forest were not good, he arrived near the mystery lock in a few minutes.

Through the various visions of the magic network riots, the Tower of Time can be vaguely seen.

As for the short section of the Elemental Channel that goes deep into the Mystery Lock, a deep ravine has been dug out. Of course, this was not dug by the river workers, but by large khaki-colored figures!

"This should be the earth element!" Xia Duo was very curious as he looked at the big men who were made entirely of ordinary soil but could move.

This reminded him of the time he summoned the water element in the river, but the water element he summoned was cute and cute, with almost no consciousness, but the four earth elements here were different, they could dig river channels.

Of course, using "dig" to describe it is not accurate. A more accurate description is that after these spherical earth elements rolled across the ground, their bodies grew larger like snowballs.

Then roll to other places, throw away the excess soil, and then roll back with your shrunken body, and so on.

"Lord Shado is interested in these earth elements?" Arcanist Egbod came over and said proudly.

Following his words, one of the earth elements even stretched out his arms and made a fist-like gesture like a human being.

"I'm quite interested. Mr. Egbod, are you willing to sell this spell?"

Xia Duo was very greedy. Summoning the water element was actually a bloodline ability. Of course, it could also be converted into an ordinary spell.

But what was summoned was still that cute and cute ball of pure water.

Xia Duo, who knows the essence of the spell [Elemental Summoning], what he really wants is not the spell itself, but the summoning contract!

He can study spells by himself, but the earth element is not created by magic, but summoned from the elemental plane. An earth element with independent consciousness and the ability to understand commands is a rare treasure.

There are so many jobs for them to do in the Chateau territory!

"Lord Shado, I'm very sorry. This spell is our [Hidden Hand] exclusive spell and is a gift from the goddess. If Lord Shado——"

"That's such a pity!" Xia Duo quickly interrupted him. He was quite cautious about his beliefs and religious beliefs.

Currently, there is a saying in Netheril - the thing that prevents the Great Arcanist from making further progress is faith. Most people in Netheril believe in the Lord of Radiance. I don't know where this rumor originated from.

Of course, this is not what Xia Duo is worried about, and he believes that the great arcane masters will not believe this, but no one who has a certain understanding of the nature of magic will believe this.

What he was really worried about was that he didn't want to have anything to do with God so early. Using clergy was one thing, but his own belief and religion was another thing.

After all, God does exist in this world.

…

Extending from the ravine in the Mystic Ruins is the elemental passage. Now a small section has been cleared. There are earth elements "excavating" in the ruins, but outside it is the river excavation.

A little further away, three arcanists faced each other in an equilateral triangle, with the tree roots that needed to be cleared in the middle. They were currently casting spells together.

The flowing arcane energy was linked together, slowly but firmly lifting the tree roots between them. Sha Duo took a few steps closer, and he even heard the sound of the tree roots pulling away from the soil.

Then there was a "bang", and two strange-looking thick tree roots were thrown to the south of the elemental passage. The root system was very complete. The thinnest one was almost as thick as a little finger, and the thickest one was as thick as a human thigh.

What a big tree!

"How much strength does it take to lift the roots of two trees at the same time?" Such thoughts flashed through Xia Duo's mind.

There was a story about Lu Zhishen uprooting a weeping willow on earth, but that was just a story. He once searched the Internet specifically to find out how much strength it took to uproot the tree that was not that thick on TV at that time.

He couldn't remember the specific value, but he clearly remembered that the unit was "tons".

And now the power of these three arcanists to lift the tree roots should be at least tons!

Seeing that Shado had been watching the three arcanists casting spells, Egbod thought that Shado was interested in this spell again, so he introduced:

"This ritual spell was jointly researched by several of us. It is specially used to pull up tree roots from underneath. If Lord Shado is interested, I think they will agree to sell it!"

"No, no, no need." Xia Duo quickly refused.

He couldn't help but glance at Egbod. He didn't look like a profiteer. Did he really think he didn't understand?

Yes, the spell may be specifically used to pull out tree roots, but its essence is still a series of transformation spells such as [Mage's Hand], [Levitation Spell], and [Flying Spell].

What changes is the state of motion of the object.

It is not unusual for three people to jointly cast spells. This is not fundamentally different from an apprentice helping a mentor conduct spell experiments. There is also a proper term for this in the field of magic, called - collaborative resonance.

The word ritual magic came from the elves, and Xia Duo had long known about it.

"Can't a mid-level mage in his twenties still explain his understanding of magic?" Xia Duo couldn't help but laugh at himself.

But when he thought that Niya was also in her twenties and had already become an arcanist, he was a little less interested. He didn't want to waste time here.

He did not meet the other three arcanists this time, which made him a little regretful. He once again expressed his gratitude to the four arcanists for coming to help, and then Sha Duo left here.

Judging from the cleaning speed we just saw, it won't be long before all the tree roots and rocks in the straight line of the elemental channel are cleared away.

Without the obstruction of tree roots and rocks, it would not take long for a river construction team of 500 people to simply dig a river channel of more than one mile.
