Arcane Lord

Just when Xia Duo was thinking about how these things would affect him, the projection plane that had not been heard from for nearly half a year suddenly appeared, so unexpectedly.

While calling the tower spirit to guide the teleportation, Xia Duo quickly put the [Pioneer Scepter] into his pocket and began to undress at the same time. He could guarantee that he had never undressed so quickly in the past twenty years.

In the past few projections, I couldn’t bring anything I carried on my body or hands with me during the projection. I could only bring it with me if I put it in the portable space.

In order to be safer and increase some strength, Xia Duo is going to bring the [Pioneer Scepter] and the [Crimson Sanctuary Robe] with him this time.

Return to the Tower of Time and continue to teleport to the projection hall of the plane exploration layer. However, compared to the speed of teleportation, Shado's speed of undressing is not as fast as that of others.

"Project, project now!"

When Xia Duo's consciousness began to leap towards the star realm, his only thought was that he must prepare an extra set of equipment next time and put it in his portable space for backup.

Or develop a method to quickly change equipment.

Although the current [Crimson Protection Robe] seems to be worn very ordinary, it would be nice if it really looked like ordinary clothes. The real situation is that when wearing it, the magic network connected to the robe must be connected. The string is connected to itself. When untying it, reverse the steps.

Similar to the "equipment binding" effect in the game, if you do not unbind it first, it may trigger passive protection, which is detrimental to the maintenance of the robe.

If this is not the case, Xia Duo can directly put it into the portable space.

The situation with [Pioneer Scepter] is similar, but it has very little connection with the user. It can even be said that it is not of the same order of magnitude as the robe, and can be unlocked almost instantly.

…

The speed of astral projection is extremely fast, or in other words, when performing astral projection, people's sensory time is very short.

After a while, when Xia Duodang "saw" the silver void that was no longer unfamiliar or even a little friendly, he knew he had "arrived"!

The next moment, the silver void disappeared, and his consciousness was in a trance. Xia Duo felt someone pushing him, and at the same time a slightly immature voice came, "Eddie, which department do you want to join after graduation?"

Eddie? Xia Duo's consciousness flashed, and a hazy memory quickly became clear - Eddie, a recent graduate of the Second Magic Academy under the Arcane Empire!

Graduation, as well as the department, triggered brand-new memories at the same time. Xia Duo responded to the speaker with a "hmm" while quickly sorting out these new memories.

It turns out that the place he was projecting this time turned out to be a country called the "Arcane Empire". "Eddie" was talented and intelligent since he was a child. He stood out from the apprentice school and was eventually admitted to the Second Magic Academy. Now he is facing a challenge in his life. Crucial choice.

It is not free for the empire to train students. All fees must be repaid after students graduate. If they cannot graduate successfully, they will become slaves directly, and it is the most cruel and inhumane reproductive tool.

As the memories of the projected body gradually unfolded, Sha Duo also learned more about this new world. When he first learned about the Magic Academy, he thought it was a more enlightened era, but in fact——

It's much darker here than the main plane!

As long as the civilians of the empire reach adulthood, that is, at the age of sixteen, they must enter the apprentice school to learn magic. If they cannot become an official mage before the age of twenty, they are failures and need to be bred.

Whether it's "Eddie" projected this time, or the classmate "Curry" next to him, or other students at the Second Magic Academy, almost no one knows who their parents are.

Everything is handled by the empire, which is comparable to a mage manufacturing factory!

Entering the state of concentration, the first five layers of the magic network were clearly visible. Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay!

In a world where almost all the people are controlled by the empire, only strength can bring him some comfort. Of course, he can leave directly, but it's not that far yet.

"By the way, Curry, which department do you want to join?"

"Eddie, I asked first, you have to speak first!" Curry said with some dissatisfaction.

Xia Duo shivered unexpectedly. This kind of mage who was almost trained on a factory assembly line seemed a bit immature in mind! He took half a step away without leaving a trace, and then said:

"I want to join the Inquisition, what about you?"

"I -" Curry looked into the distance with firm eyes, "I want to join the army and fight against the devil."

Having said that, Xia Duo felt even worse. In addition to being taught magic knowledge in the magic academy, these students were also brainwashed in Xia Duo's opinion.

Demons are the empire's greatest enemies, and almost every student is taught to be proud of killing them.

Currently, there are actually three options for graduates to choose from, one is the Scroll Factory and becomes a glorious scroll technician, and the other is the Trial Court and becomes a trainee judge.

The last one is to join the army and become a heroic warrior who directly fights the devil.

Compared to being a worker or cannon fodder, Xia Duo felt that being an inquisitor might give him a little more time and a higher degree of freedom. He came to the projection plane not to work for the Arcane Empire, but to Came here to take advantage of the time.

Of course, he wouldn't mind if he could gain some knowledge by the way.

As for "Eddie" himself, his ideal is actually to join the Scroll Factory, and then further join the institute to contribute to the advancement of magic in the empire.

But when Xia Duo came, this idea naturally gave way.

…

Unknowingly, Xia Duo and Curry walked to the dormitory area of ​​the Second Magic Academy. They came here to pack some personal belongings. They will be assigned new residences after joining the new department.

If nothing else goes wrong, the two of them will probably have no chance to meet again, but Xia Duo doesn't care. After all, he is not really "Eddie", he just has a layer of "Eddie skin".

But Curry is different. He and "Eddie" have lived and studied together for almost four years. Now they have to separate, and they are somewhat reluctant to leave.

In the dormitory, the two people quietly packed up their personal belongings. The so-called personal belongings were actually some school supplies such as books and notes. Other items such as clothes and tableware were all distributed by the empire. We don’t need the ones here. They will be distributed later. new.

After packing his things, Xia Duo was about to leave. Curry quickly followed after seeing this, "Eddie, do you think we will meet again in the future?"

Just as Sha Duo was about to answer, a huge impact came from one side of the wall. In the flash of lightning, he chose to give up the resistance. Magic surveillance is spread all over the magic academy, mainly to monitor illegal spell casting. Once he shows that he is casting spells that are not consistent with his identity, If you have the ability, you might get into big trouble.

Not resisting doesn't mean that he doesn't do any protection at all. Following the instinct in "Eddie's" memory, he cast a protective spell and at the same time dragged Curry along the direction of the impact and rolled him into a corner.

If something like this happened suddenly in the academy, the academy would surely respond quickly. He was not worried about being buried alive. Even if the worst happened, he would have enough ability to escape.

But it will definitely arouse the empire's suspicion. This is the last resort besides leaving directly.

Compared to Xia Duo's calmness, Curry's reaction was much slower. Faced with the change, he was almost dumbfounded and could only let Xia Duo drag him and stuff him into a corner.
