In the afternoon of the same day, Shado accompanied Iolum to the Mills Mage Tower under the Morien Tower in the old city, where the monitoring and magical shielding research led by the Seven Towers was located.
There, Shado met the elf chief priest from Irfalan, who was also a tall and strong golden elf mage with generous and elegant manners and a friendly smile.
In Ilfaran, there is also belief in the main god of elves, but the atmosphere of belief is not strong. In terms of the number of priests, the proportion is far less than that of Cormanthor. The elves of Cormanthor call themselves the "chosen people of the main god" and it is not unreasonable.
Although they are all golden elves, you can basically tell which country they come from just by looking at their attitude towards humans.
According to this golden elf priest from Irfalan, there are no more than three priests in Irfalan who have mastered the magic of monitoring, including him.
Shado didn't know whether this was to show off Ilfaran's undiminished friendship with his allies, or to prove Ilfaran's disguised acquiescence to Cormanthor's proposal to limit demons.
But no matter what, Ilfaran is at least willing to send such a priest to cooperate with Netheril research, so he must make full use of it.
This research is mainly divided into two projects to be carried out at the same time. One is to test the shielding effect of monitoring magic. Simply put, it is to let the priests of Terenos in Ilfaran monitor the area shielded by the magic of Nese.
The other is to analyze the impact of magic on the real world, trying to find out the principle of this magic from the root, so as to avoid it more directly and effectively.
The two projects are closely linked and maintain information exchange at all times to achieve mutual promotion.
It is conceivable that the most critical point of this research is the priest Terenos. It would be interesting if he did something interesting.
After visiting the two projects, before even coming out of Mills Tower, Shado expressed his concerns to Iolum: "If we only pin our hopes for shielding research on Terenos, I don't think the risk is too high.
Yet?"
In fact, there is one sentence that Shado has not said yet, which is that the Seven Towers accepted the aid of Ilfarang, which actually means to a large extent that it has accepted Cormanso's proposal to limit demons.
Although the specific terms may still need to be discussed, the general premise can already be seen.
Iolum also shared Shado's concerns. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Terenos' "elves", but that as long as there was such a possibility, he must take precautions.
After thinking about it, he told Xia Duo: "Don't worry too much. It is still unknown whether Cormanso's proposal will come true in the end! And as far as I know, the Seven Towers have contacted Akora, but there is also an Elf Lord over there.
priests, but failed to obtain the new monitoring magic, I am afraid they have to wait until they send priests to Cormanthor."
Having said that, are the priests of Akora really trustworthy?
Even if the two priests are very trustworthy, is the main elf god who is connected in series trustworthy? He may not have tampered with the source of divine magic!
There are even several ways that Iolum can think of to provoke misunderstanding among the three parties in Netheril.
"Then can our experiment continue?" Xia Duo asked again.
Iolum thought about it for a moment and said helplessly, "It's better to take it easy first!"
Although the proposal to limit magic has not been passed in the Northland Alliance, the magic has already been released, and Netheril does not know much about the monitoring magic. If it continues to experiment, there may be a risk of leaks.
In fact, even if the new magic has no effect, as long as Cormanthor says so, Netheril will not take it lightly.
Iolum's answer did not go beyond Sha Duo's expectations, but he never expected that just when the independent arcane fire device was about to be completed, something like this would happen.
It’s really unlucky!
Maybe this is the so-called "good things come hard"!
…
Back at the Alfa Federation, Shado did not go to the laboratory. The David string material project team could still operate without him, and the device being built by Luo Wei and others had also been suspended.
Cormanthor's magic restriction proposal stated that as long as it involves the tenth level of the magic network, it is considered a large-scale magic activity, and independent arcane fire devices are naturally among them.
Although not all construction processes need to involve the tenth level of the Magic Network, many key positions are involved. Without those key steps, the construction cannot continue at all. Fortunately, it has been stopped.
After returning to his residence, Xia Duo suddenly found that he was free. He felt a little uncomfortable for a while, but thinking of the elves' magical monitoring skills, he still didn't want to be free for even a moment.
Although shielding research has already begun at the Seven Towers, Xia Duo himself can also think about countermeasures. As the saying goes, "when everyone adds firewood, the flames will rise", maybe he is missing this little inspiration!
…
While Netheril was in a state of confusion over Cormanthor's proposal to limit magic, far to the east, the Elf Court in Listal Forest was a scene of joy.
"Toast!"
"Drinking Saint!"
…
While they were drinking wine, Farrow felt a little carried away. He raised his wine glass and said to all the mages: "The Lord God is very satisfied with your efforts and performance. If you have any requests, please feel free to put them forward."
As soon as these words came out, the high mages at the banquet looked around and exchanged opinions with each other, but for a while they were still a little unsure whether Farrow's words were out of temptation or really came from the Lord God.
At this moment, Hildalanna couldn't care less. She held the wine glass and walked slowly to Farrow's side, asking softly:
"I would like to borrow the [Betis Secret Scroll], is it okay?"
Although the voice was shallow, all the elves present had keen hearing. When they heard Hildalanna's words, they couldn't help but pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Farrow's answer.
You must know that before today, Farrow had never loaned out the "Betis Secret Scroll". No matter what reasons countless borrowers gave and what they offered in exchange, Farrow would always flatly refuse.
If you want to read the [Secret Scroll of Betis], you can only go to the Tower of Dominance in Cormanthor and read it for a short while under the supervision of all levels!
This is obviously difficult to satisfy the desire of many high-ranking mages for the [Betis Secret Scroll]!
Especially for those high-ranking mages from Erlan, who have watched their former vassals gradually become stronger relying on the [Betis Secret Scroll], it is impossible to say that they are not curious or coveted.
It's just that although the [Betis Secret Scroll] is kept by Faro, it comes from the Lord God. This makes many high-ranking mages only read it through normal channels even if they face such temptation.
Or you can try to see if the protection and retaliation of the Nese people are powerful enough.
Obviously, the Nese people who have suffered a loss are unlikely to suffer a second loss. With the remaining option of Farrow, these high mages obviously do not want to lose their nearly eternal lives to a group of short-lived people.
