Arcane Lord

Meanwhile, in the east, under the constant lobbying of Ilfarran High Mage Tyron, the mages of various nations finally agreed to launch a raid on the magic core built by the drow on the surface.

Perhaps because the dragon disaster on the border of Ilfarran had been quelled, Cormanthor did not obstruct it this time. After all, the land where the drow were rampant was Cormanthor, and the Crown King of Cormanthor was also facing huge pressure at home.

At the last pre-war meeting, the mages of various nations agreed on the raid plan, and basically all parties were satisfied, except for Netheril.

Randall was excluded from the core of the raid and was only responsible for the periphery. It seemed that the elves were working together to exclude humans. They did not want humans to participate in the special operation involving the secret of [Dragon Madness Mystery].

After the meeting, Tyron found Randall and expressed his apologies immediately. He then cast a spell to isolate the surroundings, and then explained in a heavy tone-"News came from the country that the dragon disaster on the border has not been completely quelled. Only those red dragons that fell into a frenzy were killed. The green dragon that was not affected by the dragon frenzy escaped and may come back at any time. The country asked me to promote the raid on the drow magic core as soon as possible." After explaining, Tyron apologized again sincerely: "I'm sorry that I didn't speak for you just now, but I, Tyron Earl Jinyang, swear in the name of my family that I will share the results of this operation with you. "Randall, I know that you are looking for information about the maze. When I traveled in Cormanso in my early years, I obtained a piece of information about the maze [Vafan Yamayata]. I hope to calm your anger with this, and don't let this matter affect the friendship between you and my two countries. "

As he said this, Terran handed Randall a stack of ancient documents that looked like yellow leaves.

Looking at the serious and sincere look of the elf, Randall sighed slightly in his heart. His anger had mostly dissipated. He was silent for a while and pushed back the stack of yellow leaves in front of him:

"Cormanso used dishonorable means in this matter. I can understand the difficulties of Mage Terran, and I am even more moved by Mage Terran's sincerity. This matter will not only not become an obstacle to the friendship between our two countries, but will make you and me more clear about the correctness of the friendly exchanges between Netheril and Ilfarron. May the friendship between our two countries last forever. "

Randall really wanted the information on the puzzle lock, but as he said, Komanso was using dishonorable means to alienate the relationship between Netheril and Ilfarron. In this case, it seemed reasonable for him to take the information, but it would also plant a variable in the gradually warming relationship between the two countries.

Although Randall was inclined to magic, he was not completely ignorant of worldly affairs, otherwise, it would not be his turn to become the head of the Morien Tower.

Across from him, Tyron seemed a little surprised that Randall refused the puzzle lock information, but he also felt the sincerity in Randall's words. He did not accept Randall's refusal and handed the information over again:

"Just treat it as a gift between friends! "This time, Randall did not refuse. Perhaps this was in his expectation. After that, the man and the elf discussed the raid for a while before they separated. ... Two days later, Shado, who was renovating the magic practice room in the Tower of Time, suddenly received a message from the Foreign Affairs Mage that the scarlet shining star in the northwest sky had changed. He immediately realized that the future changes in the situation that Mage Pelokan had mentioned when he met Nia might be referring to this. Of course, it was not just this. Shado immediately put down his work and returned to his residence. He could not leave the Tower of Time now, but the existence of magic allowed him to see the situation outside without leaving the Tower of Time. - [Eye of the Sky] Lying on his back on the bed, Shado cast [Eye of the Sky] and completely projected his perception into the perception field created by magic. Slightly adjusting the angle, he "saw" the King Killer Star. The King Killer Star at this time was very different from before. Originally, the King-killing Star was just a slightly brighter star, unable to compete with the sun. It could only be seen in the darker environment of dusk or early morning.

But at this moment, the sun was about to reach the zenith. Even though it was already autumn, the sunlight was not as strong as in summer, but it was still very bright.

Even in such an environment, Xia Duo still clearly "saw" the King-killing Star in the northwest sky. Not only did he see it, but this time it looked bigger than before and no longer flickered.

It was like a scarlet eyeball, hanging high in the northwest sky, staring at the earth, making people feel creepy and uncomfortable at a glance.

Xia Duo put away the spell after just observing for a moment. Then he found Niya, who was still paying attention to the negotiation of the communication magic instrument agent, and asked her if she knew the changes in the King-killing Star in the northwest sky.

Niya closed the book in her hand and said in surprise: "I don't know yet! What exactly has changed?"

"It looks bigger and no longer flickers. It looks a bit weird. Why don't you ask your teacher if she knows what's going on? "

Although Xia Duo guessed that the magic core built by Zhuoer on the surface to control the [Dragon Madness Lock] might have been attacked, he was not very sure. Maybe Zhuoer was performing some special magic!

Niya adjusted the window projection to the outside of the Tower of Time and aimed at the northwest sky. When she saw the King Killer Star that was fixed and motionless like a scarlet eyeball, she also felt a little uneasy.

Switching the "monitoring screen" back to the negotiation scene, Niya breathed a sigh of relief, "I understand, I will contact the teacher as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of "Happy cooperation" came from the window projection. It turned out that the negotiation between Derrick and Sethos had finally ended.

At this time, Xia Duo was not in a hurry to urge Niya to contact the princess, but asked: "How far are the negotiations?"

"I just heard them say that the advance payment is 650 gold coins per item, but the agency fee is still 10%. That Sethos is very determined. He has refused to give in on the agency fee in the past two days. It is probably a waste of time to continue talking. , I asked Derrick to agree."

"well--"

Xia Duo let out a long sigh. In fact, the bottom line they discussed was also around 10%. It would be best if it could be lower, but if it still can't be lowered, there is no need to waste time.

Fortunately, the advance payment was increased from the previous 500 gold coins to 650 gold coins per piece. This was a small consolation, at least it reduced the financial pressure on the Tower of Time.

"I'm going to renovate the spell practice room. Please contact your teacher as soon as possible. It's really disturbing if we don't figure out the reason for the changes in King Killer."

"Um!"

…

Returning to the library level, Xia Duo did not start working immediately. Instead, he sent messages to the mayors of Leiden and Thain, telling them that the changes in the northwest sky were normal and not to pay special attention to them, and asked them to appease the residents. , maintain normal production and life order.
