Arcane Lord

With the Supreme Heritage incident out of the way, the original discussion could no longer go on. Representatives from the Seven Towers left one after another, unable to wait to watch the Supreme Heritage. Only Princess Shia remained at the end.

Seeing the impatience of the great arcanists, Princess Shia couldn't help but smile bitterly. Of course, she could understand the mood of those people. When she knew about the supreme inheritance, she was just as anxious as them.

I just don’t know when the next meeting will be. The snow melting competition seems to be nearly two months away, but compared to such a big event, the time is already close at hand.

For a moment, Princess Shia regretted telling her about the supreme inheritance, not because she was hiding something, but because she should have found a better time.

…

Daxia collar, Linshui Village.

On this day, Xia Duo, who had just had a few days of leisure, suddenly received a notification from the tower spirit. At first, he thought that he had discovered a new projection plane or sub-plane, or that the task of testing the use of communication magic tools to the extreme was over. .

But I didn't expect that the message from Niya was forwarded, and the message from Niya was also forwarded. It came from Niya's teacher, Princess Shia, to the effect that she was asking for advice from the spell caster of Giles Tower. She needed someone who could embody the A plan for competitive arcane competition among human mages.

After receiving this news, Xia Duo immediately knew that there were changes in this year's Arcane Competition, but thinking about it, with the addition of Cormanso, could there be no changes in the melee of the Three Kingdoms?

"An arcane competition that can reflect the competitiveness of human mages?"

Xia Duo couldn't help but think about it. I don't know if the Big Eater Competition counts. With the pride and pride of an elf, he definitely wouldn't want to perform a gluttonous eating in front of the public, and it's still for humans.

Judging from Xia Duo's experience of projecting elves twice, as long as any elf performs once, it will basically be considered socially dead in the elf world. A long lifespan will bring more lasting jokes.

Even if they have magic and can eat elegantly, they still can't escape the title of "Big Eater". No matter how messy and bad the elves are in private, they will not tolerate any stain on themselves in public.

If a Big Eater Competition were really held, there might not be any elf contestants at all. In a sense, participating in it would be a stain.

Of course, on the other hand, Mage Nese may not be able to perform these in public, but compared to elves, humans should be more accepting.

We must not only stand on the point of arcane competition, but also reflect the competitiveness of human mages. In the final analysis, we still lack hard power and want to take crooked ways.

However, Shado agrees with this. No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat. Since Netheril needs to win the arcane competition, it is appropriate to use some tricks.

Even this is not called "meaningful" at all, but should be called "correct coping strategy".

Since Cormanso forcibly joined the original competition between the two countries and turned the relatively peaceful arcane competition between the two countries into a melee between the three countries, it was not glorious in itself.

There is not much morality to speak of between countries, not to mention that even the races are different. Everything depends on interests, either short-term or long-term.

Xia Duo has seen too many things on Earth, but he has not yet thought of the new arcane competition event that the princess wants. The lack of magical strength is similar to the lack of technological strength on Earth.

But the magic here is often linked to individuals. The approach on earth that relies on human will to transcend technology is difficult to work here.

In addition, when technology reaches a certain level, it can ignore human will. The same is true for magic, and the threshold is lower.

Netheril may have some deterrent power at the high-end level, but in regular arcane competitions, it does not actually have an advantage. Perhaps short lifespan and rapid iteration are the biggest advantages of humans compared to elves.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Duo gave up. He didn't want to worry about this kind of thing. The feeling of not being able to think of anything and not getting what he asked for was the most uncomfortable.

After all, we have to consider the differences between humans and elves. Only through differentiated competition can we gain some advantages.

Maybe if you don’t think about it, inspiration will come automatically.

In the following days, Sha Duo really didn't think about the arcane competition deliberately. He just focused on his own plan - meditate in the morning, do some simple spell exercises in the afternoon, and wait for the results from the Tower of Time.

Whether it is the results of the plane exploration array or the results of the test mission.

…

In such fulfilling and leisurely days, time passed little by little, and it soon came to the end of March.

The warm and moist airflow from the south seems to have arrived earlier than in previous years. Although it is still a full month away from the snowmelt month, Xia Duo saw traces of snow melting in Linshui Village.

The frozen land is also thawing, and everything seems to be developing for the better. The citizens of Daxia Territory have begun to get busy, and they are no longer limited to the work in Linshui Village.

While the forest was still awake, Xia Duo ordered to increase the intensity of logging, and even ordered people to burn the trimmed twigs on the land that was to be leveled, artificially accelerating the thawing process of the land.

As for the new projects of the Arcane Competition, which are still being collected, Shado learned from his communication with Niya that the mages of Severnton have put forward many ridiculous plans.

Among them was the Big Eater Competition that Xia Duo had thought of before. Of course, this plan was definitely killed at the first opportunity. Not to mention using this plan to compete with the elves, even the great arcanist himself couldn't explain it.

Apart from this, there are also weightlifting, high jump, long jump, etc. There are too few magical factors, and they are more performance-oriented rather than competitive.

For this reason, Ambassador Cormanzo, who learned the news, even mocked the Nese people, saying that they were barbarians who only knew how to play with muscles, and asked the Nese people to compete with the Langas people in eating and weight lifting.

They all put people like the Nese and Langath people together, who are the "true barbarians" in the eyes of the Nese people. Of course, the Nese mages are angry, and the Seven Towers strictly restrict it to arcane competitions. .

This makes the design of new projects even more difficult.

So, in what area can the Netherese surpass the elves?

The continuous understanding with Niya allowed Shaduo to understand the latest situation in Severnton, which naturally included the various weird ideas of the Nese mages. As a result, an idea gradually took shape in Shaduo's mind.

However, the details still need to be adjusted based on the actual situation of the magical world. Shado is confident that if his plan is adopted, the Netheril side's chance of winning will be much higher.
