Arcane Lord

Just before Shado returned to the Tower of Time, he sent a message to Niya through the tower spirit, telling her that there was a druid from the Golden Branch Order in her territory and wanted to ask her for her opinion.

Just because they discovered the sub-plane, the two of them returned to the Tower of Time almost at the same time. After that, they were obsessed with the sub-plane, so Xia Duo did not mention it.

In fact, the two of them stayed in the secondary plane for quite a while, and it should be almost dawn outside now, and it had been all night, which is why Xia Duo didn't mention it before leaving.

He needed to rest and refresh as soon as possible.

But since Niya mentioned it, Xia Duo definitely wanted to listen, "What else do you know about the Golden Branch Order?"

"I don't know much, but the teacher knew that I was inquiring about the Golden Elephant Order. When I came back, she told me that people from the Golden Elephant Order went to Cormanso to worship the elven god."

"Worship to the main god of elves?" Xia Duo frowned. He now had a headache whenever he heard something related to elves, let alone something related to gods.

"Yes, this is their decision only this year. It has never been done before!" Niya's expression was a little serious. She thought of the teacher's attitude when talking about this matter, which made her aware of the hidden meaning behind it. meaning.

Betray the country, betray the people.

Thinking of the message she received before leaving, Niya continued, "The druid in your territory should be called Atwood, right?"

"Yes, how do you know?" When Sha Duo summoned Niya, he did not mention Atwood's name. Niya's previous reply clearly showed that she didn't know much about the Golden Branch Order, but now she didn't even mention it. Atwood’s name is known.

It must be because of her teacher, Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Niya's answer also confirmed his guess, "The teacher mentioned that Atwood was exiled by the Golden Branch Order because he was unwilling to worship the elven god."

"Then do you know the situation of Atwood losing his holy power?" Shado asked again.

"I don't know." Niya shook her head, "The teacher only mentioned this name. I guessed that the druid who appeared in Daxia Territory was from Atwood because I received your message."

However, she was still very surprised that Atwood lost his holy power, because it was so rare, so she couldn't help but ask a few more questions:

"Did Atwood really lose his holy power? After a priest loses his holy power, does he really become an ordinary person?"

"Leiden's judgment in the [Realm of Honesty] should be true. As for whether he has really become an ordinary person, it seems like this at present. It needs further verification. I will tell you later."

In fact, Xia Duo no longer worries about Atwood's problems. Whether he is an ordinary person or an extraordinary person, he is now a citizen of the Daxia Territory.

Skipping the topic of Atwood, the two talked about their current situation and their views on current events. But when Sha Duo noticed Niya's increasingly tired face, he stopped the topic in time:

"I saw you looked very bad when you first came back, and then you didn't sleep all night. Now go and get some rest!"

Speaking of rest, Niya yawned subconsciously. When she reacted, she immediately reached out to cover her mouth, but how could Xia Duo, who had been looking at her, not notice it? Niya blushed immediately, but she still pretended to be He calmly put down his hands and said:

"I understand, you should go and rest too."

After saying that, without waiting for Xia Duo's reaction, he immediately teleported away.

Xia Duo was left alone in the preparation hall for teleportation. He glanced at the whirlpool-shaped teleportation gate in the center, smiled slightly, and left.

…

When Sha Duo woke up again, it was already afternoon. After asking Talling, he found out that Niya had woken up before him and had returned to Severton to make up for classes.

Xia Duo didn't know what to say about this, but he just thought that if nothing unexpected happened in the future, he would also undergo such a major make-up lesson to make up for the gap between the Tower of Time and the latest knowledge.

Thinking about it, I'm quite looking forward to it.

However, Niya's tutoring for several months has not yet been completed, which still makes Xia Duo a little surprised. At the same time, he also feels that the Tower of Time has been left alone for nearly a hundred years, and it has really fallen behind for too long.

Fortunately, the Arcanist is still an Arcanist and nothing has changed, which gives Xia Duo a lot of comfort.

This is actually easy to understand. Compared with the college entrance examination ten years ago on earth and the current college entrance examination, although scientific theory and technology have improved a lot, the impact on the college entrance examination is very small.

Although the format of the exam may change, the essence remains the same, and what is tested is still the same level of knowledge understanding and application.

Xia Duo is not worried about there being a more efficient way to advance to the arcanist level, because he knows very well what the essence of advancement is, and the specific method is actually not that important.

It's like calculating 1+2+3 and adding it to 100. Some people use formulas to calculate it, and some people add it directly, but this does not affect the final calculation result of 5050.

From the perspective of an advanced arcanist, arcane fire is the result.

It is already a good method to get results.

There is a definite result that can be verified repeatedly. What this means may not be understood by the people of Nese, but Xia Duo knows very well that this is actually the definition of science and the ladder on which civilization can climb.

When Sha Duo heard Niya say for the first time that as long as he followed the advanced steps completely and made no mistakes, he would definitely succeed, he was almost shocked beyond measure.

Magic has both theoretical and practical attributes. What is related to people is practice, and what is irrelevant is theory. If human factors are eliminated, the theory can be verified repeatedly. Isn’t this science?

At that time, Xia Duo thought of the vision of universal arcanists, just like universal college students on the earth. Of course, the actual proportion may not be that exaggerated, and it cannot be achieved by the entire population, but this means that knowledge (magic) can be popularized.

Many of Chateau's speculations are also based on this, such as speculation on the changes of the times, the explosion of technology, the adaptation of production relations to productivity, etc.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like if the nature of the magic network changed. It would be like a change in the fine structural constants of the earth's universe. That would be an absolute disaster.

"Matter? Consciousness? What's the connection?"

Although Xia Duo knew that it was not time for him to consider the nature of the world at this time, he still couldn't help but think about it. This world was so wonderful that people couldn't help but think about it.

Back to reality, Xia Duo was still the ordinary mage who was busy advancing. He had just eaten some steamed buns to fill his stomach and was still thinking about what the next new food would be, when Ta Ling suddenly reminded:

"Agent Xia Duo, Arcanist Aibo is here to visit."

As soon as he opened the door, Aibo walked in quickly, with a very excited tone, "Over there on the plane exploration floor, a teleportation gate appeared in the preparatory teleportation hall. Have you discovered a new plane?"

"..."

You are really a hindsight!

Due to limited authority, although Ai Burke can also go to the plane exploration layer, there is no real-time reminder from the tower spirit. Sha Duo knows that Ai Burke is learning the relevant knowledge and skills of plane scholars during this period, but discovering new planes is It happened last night. It was really unlucky for Aibo.

But seeing how excited he was, Sha Duo just replied, "Yes, a new dimension has indeed been discovered. Niya and I have already gone there to see it."
