Arcane Lord

Although Netheril has various communication spells, face-to-face chat is still the main way for Netheril mages to communicate. Even [Magic Network Background Communication] only lowers the threshold for remote communication.

Sha Duo made random guesses about what Niya wanted to do with him, but after thinking about it, it was either related to the notice he had just sent to the Apprentice Management Office through Talling, or it was related to the monthly magazine of the Austrian Law Federation.

As for which one it was, he was prepared.

…

Calling the tower spirit to teleport himself outside Niya's study, the door was wide open. Sha Duo walked in and came to the window. Niya had prepared tea and was waiting for him.

After taking a look at the projection on the window, Xia Duo discovered that it turned out to be a pioneering scene in Linshui Village, where logging, pruning, sawing, and transportation were orderly and bright.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but wonder when Niya would pay attention to his situation, and he couldn't help but make some assumptions about this meeting.

As soon as she sat down, and before she had a chance to take a sip of tea, Niya asked abruptly, "Does the monthly magazine of the Austrian Law Association have something to do with you?"

Although it was a question, it revealed a positive tone. In this regard, Xia Duo naturally had nothing to hide and talked about his transaction with Giles Tower, which was about the patent transfer of [Magic Network Background Communication].

Now it looks like a transaction. In fact, Xia Duo was planning to give it directly to Giles Tower, but Her Highness the Princess did not let him suffer. It was still calculated according to the high-standard spell transfer.

At the end of the sentence, Xia Duo smiled and said, "Did you associate it with that communication weapon?"

"Um."

Niya nodded. When Xia Duo gave her a crystal ball-shaped communication device, although it was not used much, it was determined that it could directly contact the southern border from Severington. Now she received the monthly magazine of the Austrian and French Alliance. She Corresponding associations immediately arose.

However, Niya was still a little dissatisfied with Shado's transfer of spells to Giles Tower, and her tone was somewhat resentful, "Why not register a patent in the name of the Tower of Time? Are you still worried that I will deduct your patent income?"

"Well--"

Niya's aggrieved words caught Xia Duo off guard. Originally, he was prepared to deal with Niya's accountability, but now he is really not used to it.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo explained: "Communication spells are not that simple. If the Tower of Time is going to register a patent, but one or more great arcanists come to the door and ask you to give up the registration, will you agree? "

"Of course - I agree!"

Niya is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, but her intelligence is more concentrated in the field of magic. Her judgment on interpersonal relationships and social situations is not as good as Xia Duo, who is almost blackened by what she hears and sees on earth. .

Of course, Xia Duo is more of a theoretical person, but all he needs to know is to be cautious, and avoid taking the limelight when it shouldn't. "Besides, don't you think communication spells are familiar to you?"

Niya tilted her head, "What are you familiar with?"

"Wasn't the Arcane Federation currently negotiating with Lord Hawke to introduce his new communication spell? What do you think he will think if he is intercepted by the Tower of Time?"

After saying this, Niya immediately realized that Lord Hawke had almost written the words "I am an elf traitor" all over his face. If someone didn't still need communication spells from him, he would have been dealt with long ago.

If he knew that the Tower of Time was also engaged in communication spells and was seeking to register a patent, it would not be impossible to directly attack the Saville Territory with new and old grudges.

"Then you mean Lord Hawke is going to be in trouble?" Nia said with some confusion.

"Of course, now is the time when Cormanthor wants something from Netheril. If the elf master behind him doesn't bleed a lot, maybe there won't be Dolethen Hawke next year."

Of course, this is Shado's most optimistic guess. After all, it is not easy to kill a senior arcanist who is close to the great arcanist. It is not because he is not strong enough, but because the environment does not allow it.

If senior arcanists can kill at will, can other mages have any sense of security?

There is a law in Netheril that applies to all territories, that is, the caster can get away with money, and most sins can be solved by fines.

At the beginning, if Hawker had not insisted that Aquilaine was innocent and was willing to plead guilty and accept punishment, then Chateau would not have been able to hold Aquilaine for so long.

Of course Aquiline himself was willing to plead guilty and accept punishment, then pay the money and leave, but in that case, he was willing to leave, but Chateau was not willing to let him go.

If you want to kill a spellcaster in Netheril, the best way is to assassinate. As long as you succeed on the spot, there are many opportunities to argue afterwards.

Whether it is forging a scene with spells, forging one's own identity, or even tampering with the results of inspections and trials, this is similar to the situation on earth. The key still depends on the struggle of the supporters behind it.

The Hawke Territory and the August Territory, both sides assassinated each other's spell casters, killing each other. I don't know how many people died, but in the end no killer was convicted.

It is conceivable that this is the correct answer.

If you want Lord Hawke to die, you can basically use assassination. But for a senior arcanist who is very close to the great arcanist, should you let a great arcanist lower his body to act as an assassin?

Xia Duo guessed Xuan.

…

After talking about the monthly magazine and communication spells, Niya talked to Shado about the situation of the apprentices in the Tower of Time. "The Tower of Time has never had so many apprentices before. I'm a little worried-"

"don’t worry!"

Sha Duo quickly interrupted Nia. He knew what Nia was worried about, which was nothing more than chaotic management and financial deficits, but these were actually not problems.

He drank the last bit of tea in the cup in one gulp, stood up and walked behind Niya, put his hand on her shoulder, and pressed it gently. However, Xia Duo's sight at this moment passed through the projection of the window and fell on the person who was working. The voices of the Daxia leaders gradually became fainter:

"Have you heard the call of the new era? It is urging us and advising us that only by having more spellcasters can we have a greater voice in the future."

Magic is not something with a high threshold. It is only the artificial monopoly in the past and the inconvenience of communication that have led to the relatively conservative environment now. However, conservatism has its limits, and openness has a longer tradition.

Once the resistance is broken, it's a new era of openness.

Xia Duo softly described the future scene in the magical world where everyone has books to read and everyone has education. Through spells, fighting, traveling, pioneering, or playing games, mages have traveled all over the main plane, and even in every livable location. noodle.

In the field of magic creation, magic facilities that originally existed only in a few areas such as the Tower of Time will also enter the homes of thousands of ordinary people, such as running water, magic stoves, voice-activated lights, teleportation arrays, robes, amulets, etc. will become a very common commodity.

Of course, by then, there may be no pure concept of ordinary people, and it is not impossible that everyone is a mage.

By then, even elves who want to come to the human world will have to go through numerous applications and approvals. The most important thing is that even if they come to the human world, they will no longer have any privileges.
