Arcane Lord

Xia Duo is not a lord who likes to let his men die. Although he will do it if it is really necessary, but in this situation, it is not enough to say that he will die.

Besides, even if you really die, it's not that you can't be resurrected, it's just the cost.

In addition to the magic he learned about in [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] that can be resurrected, Shado also heard that in Severton on the main plane, the temple area in the old city, or more accurately the mausoleum area, where a mysterious Death Priest can be found.

Through him, you can purchase resurrection services, and even dead people can be brought back. However, this kind of resurrection service seems to have a very high threshold. It is not sold for money. There are some hidden conditions in it.

Anyway, there are only a handful of cases where Xia Duo has heard of the resurrection of the dead so far.

Of course, in this situation, there is no need for resurrection at all. They just need to find a way to remove petrification. Xia Duo is not too worried.

…

The troll cave under the big tree is only two or three meters deep, and the location of the Jabas statue only extends diagonally downward for another three or four meters.

There were shouts soon after Simon's men went down, and other soldiers above immediately lowered a wooden support with ropes from the entrance to the crypt.

Soon, the two soldiers who went down connected with the stone statue of Jabas and were pulled up under the unanimous pull of everyone. At this time, Shado could really see the completely petrified Jabas with his naked eyes.

If Pork's pain comes from the junction of flesh and blood, then Jabbas, who is completely petrified, should not feel any pain.

Whether or not you even feel it is still a question.

Just now Pork said that he could feel the petrified area being struck, but Xia Duo felt that this was probably a psychological effect. Even if he could really feel it, could his petrified brain still feel it?

Regarding this issue, Shado didn't want to try it himself. He could only ask Jabbas after he recovered.

After the stone statue was laid flat, Xia Duo observed it carefully again, but he found no signs of life. It looked like a real stone statue, and even traces of broken details such as hair strands could be seen. .

With his current ability, he was afraid that he would be unable to solve the problem by himself. He was worried that he might really get killed if he tried randomly, so Xia Duo did not try to solve it by himself.

After thinking about it, he ordered Simon: "Send someone to move Jabas back to the military camp first, and I will go back to the Tower of Time. In addition, leave someone to guard here and don't let anyone go down."

Currently, the front line of the territory's development is close to here. Although he has asked the development department to vacate the area near the crypt, once the front line of development crosses here, people will come and go. It is inevitable that some people will enter due to accidents or curiosity. Crypt.

Two unlucky ghosts who were petrified were enough. Xia Duo didn't want anyone else to be petrified.

After hearing the order, Simon responded and immediately took action, while Shado flew back to the Tower of Time.

…

Tower of Time, library, in the high-level section.

From time to time, Xia Duo would pass through the protective barrier and pick up the precious books on the bookshelf, but often he would just flip through each book a few times and then put it back.

"I clearly remember seeing it here! Why isn't it there?!"

There were not many books in the high-level section. Xia Duo could tell at a glance whether there were any missing books, but after flipping through them, he did not find any information related to petrification spells.

"Did I really remember it wrong?" Xia Duo couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Searching like this was not an option, so he simply sat down and carefully recalled what he saw at that time. The first thing that was certain was that he had indeed seen petrochemical records, but he was not sure where he saw them. .

Maybe it was the Tower of Time, maybe it was in the Arcane Union, maybe it was in the Giles Tower. Shado had read books in all three places, but only in the Tower of Time, because of permission issues, he read the most.

Of course, there is also the [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] where the academy library has a richer collection and almost no authority restrictions, but Sha Duo has been sorting out the materials copied from there in his free time recently, and he remembers it clearly. There is no petrification spell.

And the most important thing is that Xia Duo is very sure that he saw it in the Tower of Time. It may be because he has no restrictions in the library. In which section he saw it, his memory is a little blurry.

"Ah - I thought of it! Let me tell you, if it is spell information, how could I not remember it!"

Sha Duo immediately moved the division and came to the apprentice division. He only checked a few books and found relevant information in a mage biography, which was about an experience of a great mage named "Bias"——

When Bias went to Danzo through an underground passage, he encountered a sneak attack by a basilisk. His right hand was accidentally petrified. Later, with the help of a certain (unrecorded name) radiant priest, the petrified part was restored. come over.

Of course, in this biography, this recovery process is not the focus. The point is that the Archmage Baias used this to invent a spell specifically used to remove petrification.

However, there is no record of this spell in the biography, but this also gave Shado a hint. Perhaps Bishop Ambril can remove the petrification without the trouble of running to Severton.

And after observing Bishop Ambril's process of removing petrification, he might also be able to create his own spell to remove petrification!

In the same way, reversing this process is the petrification technique.

For a moment, Xia Duo became a little excited. Although functional change spells such as petrification and de-petrification were not his main research objects, knowing and not knowing, mastering and not mastering them were completely different things.

Just like this time, if he knew how to remove petrification, he wouldn't have to go to so much trouble. He would have to find information again and find someone to help him later!

…

Putting the "Biography of Archmage Bias" in his hand back on the bookshelf, Shado was not in a hurry to find Bishop Ambril. He was more concerned about the elves than the Jabass and his son who were already lying in relative comfort in the military camp. The situation of refugees.

If this is not handled well, it may cause a big mess.

Thinking that time was almost up, he contacted Nia and asked her how the discussion was going, but to his surprise, Nia told him that the problem had been solved.

If it weren't for Niya's voice being a little low and disappointed, Xia Duo would have thought that things were going smoothly, so he quickly asked: "How was it solved?"

"I listened to your suggestion and approached Oripus Silverleaf. He agreed readily. Not long after, the foreign mage at the supply camp sent word that the elves were no longer causing trouble!"

"How did Oripus do it?" Shado asked again.

"He just let O'Brien go there for a while, and then the matter was solved, but I also let Aibo go there before! Do humans really have no deterrent effect in the eyes of elves?"

Xia Duo was silent, not because there was no deterrence, but because "the law does not punish the public." There were so many elves gathered there, and if you think about it, you know how fearless they would be.

Fortunately, they were not allowed to enter Savile Town, otherwise they would really have caused a big mess.

"I understand, let's use the Silverleaf family for the time being. I believe that the elves will definitely stay on human territory in the future!"

"hope so!"
