Chapter 1292 Observing the Advancement, Sacrifice and Inheritance
Xia Duo has been to the negative second floor once before. The road before may have been a bit roundabout and he was not familiar with it, but when he arrived on the negative second floor, because the place he was going to was Laboratory 001, it was no stranger to him.
Laboratory No. 001 and Laboratory No. 003, which he had visited before, were in the same area on the second floor. They were not far apart. It would not be an exaggeration to say they were neighbors.
Soon, Shado and Rhodes arrived at their destination and met an assistant researcher in charge of reception at the entrance of the laboratory.
Seeing that there were two people coming, the assistant researcher was obviously stunned. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he seemed to have thought of something. In the end, he said nothing and just led Xia Duo and the two into the laboratory.
"You two, follow me!"
Xia Duo followed the guide, but his eyes kept cruising around. Although this laboratory was numbered "001", the area it occupied was not even compared to that of "Laboratory No. 003", even compared to "McCard"
Compared with laboratories, there are many differences.
It seems that this place should be specially prepared for advancement.
Sha Duo remembered that the advanced laboratories in the Tower of Time were smaller than here, but there were six advanced laboratories in the Tower of Time, which could be used in turn.
Aibok was using the last intact advancement laboratory at that time. If he had failed to successfully advance at that time, it would have been difficult for the tower to produce any more arcane masters in the future.
Only arcanists can repair the advanced laboratory. If you don't have an arcanist and the laboratory cannot be repaired, you must go to other mage towers to organize advancements. You can imagine the difficulty.
Xia Duo's ability to complete the advancement in the Tower of Time also had a bit of luck in it.
…
Soon, the three of them entered the main body of the laboratory, a room of nearly twenty square meters.
"You two wait here, the dean will be here soon!"
After saying that, the assistant researcher in charge of the reception stopped explaining and left the room, leaving only Shado and Ross in the room.
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, both of them seemed to be surprised that the advancement of a mere ordinary assistant researcher would involve the dean!
There is no doubt that the dean is a great arcanist. How could such a big man care about the advancement of a little man?
Shado suspected that Ross might be Dean Bernie's child. After all, among the empire's remnants, anyone who cannot become an official mage before adulthood must have two children.
"McCard" has two children, but Xia Duo has not met them yet.
Why can't Rhodes be Dean Bernie's child?
While Sha Duo examined Ross's appearance without leaving any trace, he asked tentatively: "Ross, you——"
Perhaps he guessed something, or perhaps he was particularly sensitive to strange looks, Ross took a step back quickly and waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't think too much, I have nothing to do with Dean Bernie. I have even met the Dean himself!"
"cough--"
Xia Duo also felt that this speculation was too unfounded. In fact, among the empire survivors, including the past empire period, the parent-child relationship was almost non-existent. It was more about colleagues, superiors and subordinates, and teacher-student relationships.
After all, everyone's own origins and the origins of their children are not under their control, and they are not responsible for raising them. It is difficult to say that there is any deep relationship between parents and children.
Then he asked Ross: "What about other people's advancement? Is the dean here?"
"I don't know, maybe the dean was also present, but they never mentioned it, or it didn't reach my side."
After hearing such an answer, Xia Duo fell silent, but this matter was not important, as long as it did not affect the subsequent observation.
Ross stopped talking, and the two of them just waited quietly.
…
I don’t know how much time passed before Dean Bernie, with gray hair and a kind face, walked in from outside.
Chateau and the other two hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Dean Bernie just waved his hand and asked, "Who is Ross?"
This question completely overturned Sha Duo's previous guess. Dean Bernie couldn't even tell who he was from Ross, so how could he come here specifically for Ross?
As for Ross, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and quickly replied: "Master Dean, I am Ross."
Although he said before that he had nothing to do with Dean Bernie, now he saw that Dean Bernie might not have even seen his own magical image, and he still felt a little inexplicably disappointed.
"Are you all ready?" Dean Bernie asked again.
"Uh, everything is ready."
Being on business again made Ross completely give up. Fortunately, he had never thought about it before, that is, the thought just for a moment made him a little lost. It is not too late to wake up now.
If you really act out of self-interest and make a joke, it will be difficult to end it.
…
After hearing Ross say he was ready, Bernie immediately deployed the Arcane Fire, and the miniature magic net that had originally been curled up and converged was opened layer by layer and quickly covered every corner of the laboratory.
Such obvious changes naturally cannot be hidden from Shado and Ross. One of them is a high-level mage who is about to advance, and the other is a senior arcanist from the main plane. They have a relatively full understanding of arcane fire.
But this situation now?
Ross was quite confused, but Shado had a very bold guess in his mind. Once this guess came true, it would directly increase his evaluation of Nese Magic.
Looking at Dean Bernie's calm and solemn figure, Xia Duo became more confident in this guess!
Then, Dean Bernie activated some auxiliary facilities in the laboratory, and then said to Rhodes: "It's time to start, create your own arcane fire!"
But Ross hesitated at this moment. Except for the first layer, the rest of the magic network environment in the laboratory had been replaced by Dean Bernie's miniature magic network. Could it be that he was asked to tear apart the dean's magic network to create
My own arcane fire?
Faced with this situation, how could he not hesitate.
Seeing that the advanced environment was ready, but the advanced players were completely silent, Bernie couldn't help but frown.
But he also knows that everyone will hesitate in this situation. If he really encounters an advanced person who doesn't hesitate, he will hesitate.
"As long as you create an arcane fire in the Great Demon Network environment, even if you are underground, it may be monitored by Cormanthor, and the location of the survival base can be located. This is how many survival bases were discovered in the past!"
Seemingly thinking of some not-so-good past, Bernie's expression darkened and he continued to explain in a deep voice: "Later, someone developed the idea of creating arcane fire in the Grand Arcanist's micro-magic network environment, which has a high probability of
Successfully evaded Cormanthor's detection.
"And what you don't know is that for this advancement, I am not the only one here to provide the magic network environment, but there are also three great arcanists who are also simultaneously maintaining the detection and misdirection of this area.
"Hurry up and don't waste our efforts!"
After hearing this, Ross's eyes turned red. He nodded vigorously, adjusted his mood, and then began to cast spells to create arcane fire.
