Arcane Lord

When Sha Duo and others accepted the mission, Archmage Fustum clearly mentioned that after destroying the target tree, which is the mystery node, they need to bury a guidance beacon and guard it for a period of time.

How could the elf do nothing during this period!

Therefore, whether it is from a strategic perspective - eliminating the war potential of Cormanthor, forcing everyone to take a deeper stand on the issue of elves, or just the completion of this mission.

Xia Duo hopes to eliminate more elven mages in the front instead of giving them a chance to gather and cause greater trouble.

In fact, after each team buried the guidance beacons, they realized the problem and began to worry about the subsequent elf attack.

——Each team quickly arrived in place to build protective positions.

Although the elves' attack is worrying, the human side is not without advantages. The most obvious point is that the passive defense cannot be defeated instantly, which gives the mobile team time to support.

A total of more than fifty teams guarded more than twenty guidance beacons, almost two teams per guidance beacon, and one team could actually be regarded as one archmage due to the existence of an intermediate mage.

Although this archmage is relatively rigid and stiff, when it comes to defense, being rigid and rigid may not be an advantage.

Previously, the elves guarding the Mystery Lock Node were only two elite mages, equivalent to high-level mages on the human side. They only took advantage of the Mystery Lock Node to change the environment of the magic network, and were able to tangle with various teams.

Now that the Mystery Lock Node has been destroyed, even if there is still some influence of the Mystery Lock Node in the surrounding magic network environment, it does not matter to the overall situation.

The general trend is in my favor, so I just need to delay. Time is the best helper.

This is just like the elves before. They were also stalling for time, but they didn't expect that the humans would gather so quickly and cooperate so well, so they missed the opportunity.

Now Shado just needs to learn the lessons from the elves.

What he is worried about now is just where the upper limit of the number of elves who can jointly cast spells is. After all, in theory, the more people there are, the stronger the overall performance will be.

In addition, there are almost fifty or so elf mages who have escaped. Once a group attacks, it will also be a big trouble.

Of course, in a short period of time, it is just a trouble, not a fatal crisis. Now it depends on which side time is on.

…

As time passed little by little, the elves did not attack, but the pressure on Xia Duo's side did not decrease at all. After all, the unknown is the scariest thing.

Some people have already had their spiritual links interrupted because of this, but now Xia Duo can't find the extra time to reconnect them. He just wants to gather those who have interrupted their links together to increase their chances of survival.

As for the people in the link, under Sha Duo's instructions, they try their best to obtain and share all kinds of information around them, focusing on the perceptual information of detecting spells.

As for Xia Duo himself, in addition to constantly analyzing the various information shared by everyone, he speculated on where the elves might be hiding and even the target of the attack.

At the same time, he was also using everyone's different perception perspectives to constantly observe the more than twenty guidance signs and try to analyze something.

If you can know the time when you need to guard, it is far more reassuring than waiting aimlessly.

…

However, what Sha Duo and others didn't know was that just when they buried the first guidance beacon, more than 20 battle mages in the camp had already begun a real alliance under the order of Archmage Fustum. Cast a spell.

In other words, this is a rather complex ritual magic that requires many guiding signs.

If there are elves here, you can still hear that many elven words are mixed in many spells to assist spell casting. This is not deliberately showing off, but this is a composite magic that spans two different magic systems.

As the guidance signs were taken out of the dimensional bags by the people in front, the ceremony also advanced to a deeper level.

If Xia Duo could sense the situation in the camp at this moment, he would have discovered that countless magic net strings in the center of the ceremony were densely gathered into bundles, shooting straight into the sky, and then swooping down to meet the more than twenty guidance signs. linked together.

It is equivalent to artificially creating a dense network area in a relatively uniform and flat magic network environment.

At the same time, as the ceremony progressed, some unknown changes were gradually taking place in this dense area.

This change quickly attracted Xia Duo's attention. The movement was too big not to notice, but he did not find the source of the change.

It was just discovered that the Magic Network of the Green Field Plane has become active, and is showing some highly orderly fluctuations, as well as certain specific trends of the Magic Network's strings.

This required almost no thought. He immediately thought of the Mystic Locks, but these changes were obviously related to the guidance signs they had buried.

Although it is not the source, it is at least a very important component.

"Could it be that the Seven Towers have mastered the secret of the Mystery Lock?"

Sha Duo had no choice but to make such a guess. This was completely possible in theory, and the probability was very high.

After all, there are quite a few Mythlock ruins in Netheril. If more information could be gathered from the elves, the Seven Towers might have already taken out the Mythlock!

This situation now confirms his suspicion.

…

Just when Xia Duo was guessing whether the Seven Towers had mastered the secret of the Mystery Lock, and whether something had happened to the elves, an illusory golden elf image suddenly appeared on a low hill where the four great arcanists temporarily stayed.

The great arcanists did not stop them, but instead smiled and looked at each other's shocked and angry expressions. Badigal even said with a hint of ridicule:

"What? Mr. Jelinis has figured it out? Are you ready to give up?"

But Jelinis didn't pay attention to Buddy's rude tone. Instead, he stared at the other party and asked almost like an interrogation:

"Are they the descendants of those common people? How dare they teach you the secrets of the Mystery Lock privately?"

"Don't look at me like that. I am not the descendant of the common people you call me, and neither are our allies of Ilfaran. If Cormanthor still has the old ideas of Arivandar in the past, you will definitely be completely destroyed. Excluded by the Northland Alliance!"

Badigal snapped.

The so-called descendants of common people actually refer to golden elves in general, and sometimes specifically to the golden elves of Ilfarang.

As for other elves such as moon elves and wood elves, in ancient Arivanda's view, they were all inferior races, even inferior to civilians.

This is the great elf imperialism of Arivandar.

Netheril and Elfaran have officially established diplomatic relations for some time. The great arcanists have indeed gained a lot of dark information about Arivandar and the "remnant of Arivandar" Cormanthor from Elphalan. material.

When I say it now, I feel even more righteous and awe-inspiring.

But this was not very good for Jelinis. His expression twitched slightly, which even affected the stability of the magic image, and he said coldly:

"Don't be complacent. How much can a group of descendants of common people know about the mysteries of the Supreme? Even if they teach you, how useful will it be? What awaits you ahead may not be flowers and sweet springs. Just wait and see, this is not over yet!"

After saying that, the image disappeared.
