Arcane Lord

Three days later, Chateau received a notice from Osker and the appointment was confirmed. As expected, as Osker had said before, he was appointed as a Level 1 Clerk of the Internal Affairs Department of the Trial Department, and Chateau became his clerk (assistant). .

As for the chief inquisitor here in Jilan City, he will be replaced by an archmage later, but this is not important anymore.

Three more days later, the successor Archmage came over. Osk handed over the relevant work to him, and then took Shado and left Jilan City through the teleportation circle of the Teleportation Department.

…

The first deputy capital.

Coming here again, Xia Duo felt quite emotional. There were only a few deputy capitals in the Magic Academy. The academy itself did not set up any obstacles, but ordinary judges did not have the authority to use the teleportation circle at all.

Unless you fly here yourself, the judges usually have to go to work and their rest time is very uncertain. If there is a temporary task and they ask you to go there, you will go there.

In the past year, Xia Duo either didn't think about flying there by himself, but because of his irregular free time and not knowing the way, he couldn't do it.

Now he has come here openly, and it is foreseeable that he will stay here for a long time.

The only troublesome thing is that after becoming Osk's assistant, he usually has less free time than when he was in Jilan City. However, compared to being able to enter the college library and read all the books, Sha Duo still thinks it is quite worth it. .

It was already a month after reporting, reviewing, assigning residence, taking office, holding meetings, getting familiar with the work, and finally settled down completely. During this process, Sha Duo also gained a deeper understanding of the system of the Arcane Empire.

…

This afternoon, Xia Duo finally found time to get off work early and came to "Eddie"'s alma mater, the Second Academy of Magic.

In the past month, he had applied no less than ten times, but every time he missed the visit due to busy schedules. This time he was finally able to come.

It’s just that it’s not too early today, so I don’t know how much I can see.

With a sigh, Xia Duo read the level and identity information at the entrance, and then went straight to the magic area. It was the first time he came here after work. He resisted the urge to look for mithril refining technology, and first found a book "Practical Techniques for Judgment Spells" .

In fact, it is psychic magic. However, due to the particularity of psychic magic, this book does not cover the details of specific spells, but explains the various applications of psychic magic in trial work from a macro perspective.

Strictly speaking, this book is not a magic book, but more like a sociology and criminal investigation book. But for Xia Duo, he is considered a counterpart. After all, he is the Judgment Department.

After reading for a while, Sha Duo finally started looking at other books. This time he still didn't look for mithril refining technology, but looked for ways to advance as an arcanist in the Arcane Empire.

With this method, he could actually apply directly from outside. In fact, he had already applied when he first arrived in Jilan City. However, it did not send out all the information at once, but based on the progress of the applicant. of.

If you're in the library, you don't need to worry about progress.

Shado also seems to know whether there is any improvement between the advanced arcanist's method here and the method of Netheril in the main plane. Judging from the information obtained before, it is indeed the same result.

That is to say - seize the essence of the magic network and generate arcane fire.

But the problem is that Netheril in the main plane discovered the [Scroll of Netheril] for only more than 500 years. Including the time it took to develop this magic system, the actual development time of magic is far less than that of the Arcane Empire in the projection plane. .

It can be seen from the "General History of the Empire" that it has been almost 1,000 years since the Great Sage taught magic, almost two years of history.

If it weren't for the so-called "Demon War" with the elves, perhaps the number of great arcanists in the Arcane Empire could have exceeded one hundred. And there is another very important reason. There is no life-extending magic in the Arcane Empire.

Even if he is called a great arcanist, he cannot escape the longevity of human beings.

Of course, life extension magic on the main plane cannot extend life indefinitely. It is usually calculated as a multiple of one's own lifespan, ranging from ten years to several decades, and some may be longer.

There is no life-extending magic in the Arcane Empire. Despite the continuous war for nearly a thousand years, it can still maintain at least 20 great arcane masters. In addition to the almost abnormal development of the population and the opening up of magic knowledge, their advancement methods should also be different. Improved!

"Is the Great Sage a person projected from the main plane?"

Sha Duo couldn't help but ask this question again. The Nese language is understandable, after all, they all originated from the Severnton Alliance, but the Nese magic system is difficult to understand.

Is there a [Scroll of Resistance] in the projection plane? Or an equivalent being by another name?

In the Arcane Empire, Nese is just a name that has been swept into the dusty corner of history. It has no special meaning and is rarely mentioned by anyone except those who study history.

Xia Duo has been here for more than a year, and he has never heard anyone mention the name "Nese". If he hadn't read "General History of the Empire", he wouldn't even know that the Arcane Empire also originated from the Severnton Alliance.

If the great sage is not from the main plane, then it doesn’t matter. This projection experience will be called Xia Duo’s unique treasure, but if the great sage is from the main plane, then——

Maybe the other party can obtain a huge treasure that far exceeds Xia Duo.

Is there really such a person in the main plane?

In the main plane, the plane exploration array is not owned by every great arcanist. If the great sages really come from the main plane, they should be under the command of those great arcanists.

The more he thought about it, the more Xia Duo felt it was possible.

Perhaps this is the real way to open up the plane.

well--

Xia Duo previously thought that the projection plane could not only use time or poach the elves, but if he could make use of the huge time difference and farm his own land, perhaps the harvest would be even greater!

However, this method requires a group of reliable subordinates, because time in the projection plane is real, and no great arcanist would be willing to come and play a thousand-year farming game in person.

What's the difference between playing on the main plane?

We still need subordinates, and they need strong subordinates. History has inertia. If the great sages are really from the main plane, then they can change history from generation to generation, and they must have extraordinary abilities.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo was a little disappointed. He didn't have such subordinates. Even those from the Tower of Time were not enough to guide a huge empire, let alone make the great arcanists obey their leadership.

Thinking about it this way, maybe the Great Sage is really a miracle native to the projection plane, but this miracle comes a lot, from thousands of years ago to the present, from generation to generation.

Xia Duo hoped that the great sage would be a native, but he had to be prepared for a group to be behind all this.

The so-called preparation, of course, is to extend the time to stay here. I am lucky enough to enter such a projection plane this time, but I may not have such an opportunity in the future.

Of course, if the situation is right, it would be good for him to do this kind of plane development himself. This is much more interesting than farming in some sub-plane.

However, no matter how brilliant the projection plane is, it is just a dream in the end. Xia Duo can't help but feel sincerely sad for the people in it.
