Arcane Lord

In the days that followed, Xia Duo had a rare moment of leisure.

At the end of October, Mrs. Patty received good news. She once again contacted the people sent to the north. Two small tribes of Langas people were persuaded and were already on their way to Daxia. It is expected that they will arrive in the winter month. arrival.

In mid-November, good news came from the brick kiln. The slave Blake improved the quality of the brick-making soil through multiple screenings, soaking in water and beating, and the first brick that could not be broken was born. Other brick kiln workers also made their own achievements. Chateau ordered Leiden to record the merits for them one by one.

In late November, good news came from Savile Town. The cargo ship of the Bright Water Chamber of Commerce arrived in Savile Town. This new chamber of commerce introduced by the princess not only brought the magic materials that the Tower of Time urgently needed, but also brought new supplies. The contract, along with the attitudes of several chambers of commerce that were negotiating with Derrick, quickly changed;

Good news also came from the Tower of Time. Most of the apprentices were actively moving towards "entering the academy". Tilak's Research Laboratory successfully produced a bright ring, which existed stably for three days.

At the same time, thanks to the participation of members of the Society, the first batch of magic scrolls produced by Tilak Research Laboratory under the new "division of labor and collaboration" model came out, with a yield rate as high as 70%.

At the end of November, the merchant ship led by Rodney arrived in Savile Town, led by an archmage named Newman and priest Cole.

After Xia Duo received the news, he immediately ended his free time for the past month and returned to the Tower of Time.

However, when he returned to the Tower of Time, he did not go to Savile Town immediately. Instead, he came to the plane exploration layer to check the operation of the plane exploration array.

In this month, Xia Duo has not received any news about the new projection plane, which makes him somewhat depressed. He originally thought that he would discover it at least once every month, but now it seems that he is still too optimistic.

After inspection, the plane exploration array was operating in good condition, but the projected plane and the real sub-plane could not be found. Standing at the core of the array, Sha Duo sighed again:

"We still need to train astral mages and plane scholars!"

Plane scholar, Eberk is studying, and even astral mage, Shado already has a suitable candidate. It is not the death priest model in the territory, but Devine.

Shado talked to Mort about learning magic, but the other person had no interest in magic and only served death. Shado couldn't force him, and Devine seemed more suitable.

He was originally a mage apprentice. Later, his family was saved by the priest of the Lord of Glory, which deepened his belief in the Lord of Glory. Later, he sensed the holy power and became an official magical caster.

But since then, he has not given up magic, and has not even used the Tower of Time at all. Now he has also become an official mage - an arcane spellcaster.

However, since astral mages need to devote their energy to the star realm for a long time to assist the plane exploration array to search for the projection plane, this will lead to two consequences. One is that the time for magic research is greatly reduced. It can be said that basically The arcanist's path is cut off.

The other reason is the astral realm itself. Investing your spirit in it for a long time will make the astral realm mage become more sensitive and neurotic. In layman's terms, it may cause mental illness.

After thinking about it carefully, Sha Duo still couldn't bear to let Devine do such a thing. However, he did not find the projection plane during this whole month. Sha Duo had an in-depth conversation with Aibok and Niya. Regarding the astral mage, Have a clearer understanding.

At first, the astral mage was just a method for clergy to conduct perception training. Later, it gradually became a formal profession. In addition to the two disadvantages mentioned above, becoming an astral mage also has many advantages.

There are probably two ultimate achievements for an astral mage. One is the divine route, becoming a legendary priest, and the other is the arcane route, where the spiritual will completely separates from the main plane and becomes the eternal Holy Spirit of the astral world.

At present, both of these achievements have been achieved by astral mages. The strength and status of legendary priests are naturally self-evident.

Even if it is difficult to enter the main plane after becoming the eternal holy spirit, and the power is very limited (approximately equal to the strength of arcane spell casters), they can have eternal lifespan, and the projected plane is a real plane for them. You can swim as much as you want.

At the same time, Niya revealed that the Giles Tower where Her Royal Highness belonged had an eternal Holy Spirit. It is said that the Eternal Holy Spirit can bring real people or objects from the projection plane to the main plane.

With these two achievements, Shado would not object to letting Dwayne become an astral mage. He would have a frank talk with Dwayne and let him decide whether to become an astral mage.

Of course, having only one astral mage is not enough. Sha Duo needs more, the more, the better!

After checking the plane exploration array, Shado left the Tower of Time slightly disappointed. Aiboike was already waiting for him in Savile Town.

…

Savile Town, Port.

The cargo ship carrying the Rodney flag was close to the trestle. Porters in civilian clothes came and went, constantly unloading various supplies from it. When Shado flew here from the portal next to the original site of the Tower of Time, the first I immediately noticed the unfamiliar porters.

The porters in the Saville Territory all dress in a uniform style. Even the few slaves in the Territory stipulate that they must have clear identification marks, either chains or tattoos.

These were not stipulated after Xia Duo became the acting lord, but an effective management method that the port had discovered during its long-term management.

The ship came with its own porter, and Savile was obviously the one left with him.

Aibo's location was very conspicuous, on the embankment not far from the trestle, and he watched coldly as the porters unloaded the supplies on the ship.

Xia Duo fell down and asked: "Where is the Archmage Newman you mentioned before?"

"Do you still want to see him on the ship?" Aiboke said with a smile.

Xia Duo shook his head. He just wanted to confirm the location of the great mage who was neither an enemy nor a friend but also possessed powerful power. "Since we are not traveling together, there is no need to meet. By the way, their parking fees and toll taxes must be paid." Are you done yet?”

"Hand it in, Archmage Newman personally came ashore to settle the matter!"

Just as he was talking, a series of clattering horses' hooves and the sound of creaking wheels were heard not far away, as freight carriages slowly drove from the trade area to the port.

The leader was none other than Priest Cole, who was expelled by Shado after redeeming himself two months ago!

Seeing this, Xia Duo was no longer ready to read any more, it was so terrible!

It is obvious that Lord Rodney has sent people to open up territory in the Green Bead Forest, but there cannot be any action here. Otherwise, it will not only be unreasonable for the princess, but also Rodney Territory, which is stuck on the Netheril River, will do the same. Actions.

For now, neither side is comfortable engaging in collisions outside the rules.

After a while, all the supplies on the ship were unloaded, and the porters began to load the supplies onto the carriage again. Seeing them carrying the supplies repeatedly, Sha Duo and Ai Burke said something and prepared to leave first.

But before returning to the Tower of Time, Shado sent a message to Derrick, asking him to find out the list of chambers of commerce that provided carriages to Rodney, so as to make a blacklist first.

After that, Aibok stayed here and continued to stare, while Shado returned to the Tower of Time.
