Arcane Lord

Xia Duo stayed in the territory for a day. Although he gained a lot from the study of Feld's spell book, he still had not made a decision on whether to upgrade.

Under the current conditions, it is indeed difficult for him to make such a decision that is likely to affect his entire life.

However, Xia Duo's hesitation is not completely negative. As a time traveler, he has never lacked transcendent thinking and vision.

The best time to create arcane fire is at the 5th level, which is woven by seizing the first five layers of magic web strings. This has been personally verified by a large number of spellcasters in Netheril. Based on Shado's current knowledge, , and there is no confidence in overturning it.

But will it be impossible to go back after upgrading?

Xia Duo believes that it is possible. Not only did he know from the game information on Earth, there are indeed spells such as [energy absorption] and [weak energy]. In this real magic world, it is not because of spells. Experimental errors led to cases where the spellcasting level was reduced or even completely lost.

To extend it a little bit, isn’t it just such a downgrade spell?

This is equivalent to depriving the mage of the magic network's perception and reducing the caster's spellcasting level. If it can be accurately downgraded to the 5th level, wouldn't it be possible to recreate the arcane fire again?

As for subsequent re-upgrades, just follow the steps. Unless the memory is also deprived of memory at the same time, it will be too easy to re-upgrade.

If there is such a spell, Xia Duo speculates that it should be a combat spell that temporarily reduces the enemy's spellcasting level. Even if it can be restored or lifted, it does not take a moment, and at this moment, life and death may have been decided. .

At the same time, if there is such a spell, it should be a spell that ignores protection. If you need to break the target's protection before using it, it is really better to use a direct killing spell.

If he can master this spell, it will be like mastering the potion of regret. The combat effect is secondary. The key is that it can be used as a strategic spell to facilitate the re-creation of arcane fire by arcanists who have lost arcane fire.

Even archmages who missed the 10th level stage can go back and try to see if they can create their own arcane fire.

If such spells are combined with life-extending spells, the arcanist's base will be greatly expanded. In the same way, those who can eventually become great arcanists will also be greatly improved.

…

Xia Duo decided to wait until the dragon disaster or the drow threat was lifted, and then visit a former mage who lost all his spellcasting levels due to a spell experiment error. He was also a quite legendary mainland lord.

This is the only one whose identity Shado can confirm among all the recorded people whose spellcasting level has been reduced.

Other cases are usually described as "a mage in a certain mage tower", and the conclusion is usually "post-depression, no news" or "post-recovery, no news".

The information about the mage tower can be determined, but the specific name and identity are often concealed. After all, this is not a glorious thing.

Of course, Xia Duo also guessed that the recorder himself might have heard someone say this, and then he just wrote it down casually, without even thinking about confirming his identity, name and other information.

If you really inquire, you should be able to find out, but it is somewhat inappropriate to go to a strange mage tower to inquire about the mage's privacy. It is better to visit the legendary lord directly.

At least that person didn't shy away from talking about the experimental accident. Instead, he often brought it up to warn others. This is why Xia Duo knew such specific information.

The first time Sha Duo heard about Lord Leisen, it was not actually because of his experimental accident that caused him to lose all his spellcasting levels, but because of the name of the miracle.

It is said that the Lord of Glory once performed a miracle in the Leisen Territory, and this news actually spread to the Saville Territory. This shows that the scope of influence is huge, but Xia Duo is very cautious in matters related to gods, and does not do too much. inquire about.

It wasn't until I heard the rumors about Lord Leisen again later that I connected the two pieces of news together and learned that they were from the same place.

…

If the trip to Leisen Lord goes well and he can understand some details of Lord Leisen's magic experiment, then Shado will choose to upgrade; if it doesn't go well, then Shado will still postpone the upgrade.

Until you develop the downgrade spell on your own, or find out the relevant details in other downgrade cases.

His goal during the dragon disaster was to complete the cracking of Feld's spell book as soon as possible, and at the same time design and manufacture his own spell book. As for the research in the general direction of [Plane], he actually waited until he became a senior arcanist. It’s never too late to start again.

If we use the analogy of experience on earth, then——

In Xia Duo's view, before arcanists, they were mostly high school students. Advanced arcanists were admitted to college, while senior arcanists were considered graduate students and needed to choose a specific direction for research.

…

Back in Savile Territory, there was no news from Oripus from the Silverleaf family, but the town office was besieged again, but this time it was not the elves, but the human merchants.

Most of them had escaped from Conifera City, but at the same time, there were also some businessmen who were originally from Savile Territory mixed in and surrounded the entrance of the town office. The scene was very lively.

When Xia Duo arrived, he happened to see this scene. Thinking of what he accidentally heard when he was searching for traces of drow radiation in the trade area the night before yesterday, he suddenly became angry.

During the day before yesterday, these merchants saw a fleet coming from the north, and they started to get together at night. They wanted to unite and put pressure on Savile Leader to let the fleet take them back to the north first.

If they didn't know that they were connected in advance, Xia Duo had planned to allocate some positions to these human merchants. After all, these merchants didn't have many people, apart from the guards, stewards, porters and other idlers.

Send the leader away, and the remaining people can be easily arranged.

And now these people have joined forces and created such a huge momentum. Although in fact, it has intensified the elves' desire to buy "ship tickets", Xia Duoke will not be grateful to them at all.

On the contrary, you will feel that this is a mob.

Isn’t it better to file a complaint normally? If he insists on doing this, even if he makes a normal request, it is impossible for Xia Duo to agree to send all of them on the ship, but this is the rule and order.

Even Xia Duo himself will respect and abide by any order he creates. (One embodiment of order is law, and law is actually a tool to safeguard the interests of the ruling class)

…

Xia Duo descended from the sky and summoned a gust of wind to blow towards the crowd gathered at the entrance of the town hall. At the same time, he kept searching the crowd with his eyes. When he found the target, he immediately used the psychic spell [Instruction] on it.

The failure of using psychic spells on the drow the day before yesterday did not happen again to this human businessman. Even without [Shock] in front, the simple [Instruction] took effect quickly.

When the human businessman realized that he was under the control of a spell, his face instantly turned pale, and at the same time his eyes rolled around, as if he was trying to find a way to escape.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, his body still involuntarily walked out of the crowd under Xia Duo's order and came to the door of the town hall in front of Xia Duo.
