Chapter 1652 The real enemy, the invitation of the elders
"Now tell me about the Southern Green Tower Alliance!"
"yes!"
…
After returning to Azure Manor, Shado was still thinking about what Andatlaib had just said, that Cross had begun to use benefits to tie up the lords in the Green Tower Alliance in exchange for the governance of their territories!
Although there is no sign of universal education or industrialization, it is still a dangerous signal. Xia Duo knows very well how strong organizational capabilities a centralized system can bring.
"Did the imitation of the Tower of Time's communication weapon give you the confidence? Or are you really a chess piece of change launched by the Seven Towers?"
Xia Duo may not be able to find an answer to this question in a short time, but there is one thing he knows very well, and that is——
Cross and the Green Tower Alliance have actually become his enemies!
Bottom-up centralized change is the natural opponent of future magical civilization in Netheril. Although Shado is confident of defeating the opponent, wouldn't it be easier to deal with the opponent from the budding stage?
The Green Tower imitates the Tower of Time communication weapon, and now it is hindering Xia Duo from accumulating funds for the nurturing of magical civilization. At the moment, it is just a simplified version of the communication weapon. There may be more in the future, but Xia Duo cannot
tolerated.
No matter from which point of view, he had to defeat Cross and the Green Tower Alliance.
With the inexplicable addition of an enemy, Xia Duo not only did not feel pressure, but felt a sense of relief. He knew very well that what he was doing and what he was going to do would probably be the enemy of the whole world.
Now a real enemy finally appeared. At this time, he had long expected the inevitable event. It was not Cross, but other people and other organizations.
Facing fierce competition early is a preview of the future, and it is also an excellent opportunity to polish yourself and your own personnel.
He was even a little overjoyed about this.
…
Just when Xia Duo was thinking about how to handle this incident next, President Jenna of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce unexpectedly called, interrupting his thoughts.
"Lord Xia Duo, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but I have a question that I need to get a clear answer from you. This is very important. Please answer carefully."
Jenna's tone was serious. At first, Shado thought that she had let Anda Tlaib become the new agent, and then she came over to question him!
However, the consignment agreement between the Tower of Time and the Bright Water Chamber of Commerce is not exclusive. Besides, how could a great arcanist like Jenna call "call" late at night to inquire about such a trivial matter?
With this in mind, Jenna's next subpoena came -
"I just finished reading your "Agriculture Book". What I want to ask is whether you are interested in planting areas?"
What is the intended planting field? Is this the agricultural field?
Only then did Xia Duo realize that Jenna was asking him if he was interested in becoming a god in the field of planting or agriculture. Currently, the only way for a great arcanist to advance further is to become a god.
Although not all great arcanists intend to ascend to the gods, making the corresponding preparations first does not prevent them from continuing to climb in the field of magic.
You don’t want to use it or don’t need it now, but you might want it in the future and you can use it!
So this question——
It’s probably not Jenna herself who wants to ask, because Jenna has already chosen the business field, and planting and business probably have little connection in the current era!
Then Xia Duo replied: "I have no intention of becoming a god in the field of planting. That "Agricultural Book" is just a sharing of my territorial experience in the southern border. I wonder if you have noticed the abnormal climate in the core area of Nese from the end of last year until now. Agriculture
That’s what the book is for.”
Jenna didn't reply after that, and it wasn't until about ten minutes later that Jenna sent a message, "Lord Chateau, you are really a kind and kind lord. There is an elder who wants to meet you."
During this time, Shado has been busy designing magic items for Fitch and Aldrin. Of course, he is also waiting for Jenna's reply, otherwise he should take a rest.
At this moment, when he received a reply from Jenna, saying that it was an elder who wanted to meet him, Xia Duo was a little surprised. Could it be that the elder wanted to ascend to the gods in the field of planting?
So he called and asked: "Which elder is he? Can I know his identity?"
This time, Jenna’s reply was much faster. She sent the message almost immediately and gave an introduction——
"That was an elder from the Morien Tower. He was proficient in elf magic and worked as a druid for a period of time. He once wanted to combine elf magic and druid magic to create a system suitable for Netherese people.
The magic of planting.
"But this later proved to be unworkable, so he decisively gave up his Druid faith, and was punished by the Elf God for this.
"And this experience of divine punishment also allowed him to unexpectedly become a legend after transferring to Nese Magic. Now he has reached the end of his life.
"He wanted to use this last bit of time to provide Master Nese with more experience in the field of divine ascension, and he chose the field of cultivation that he is most familiar with."
Jenna's answer made Xia Duo stand in awe. If nothing unexpected happened, the elder mentioned by the other party should be a contemporary of Congenio, or even earlier, before Nese magic was formed.
!
The Nese mages of that era did not lack the classical spirit of sacrifice, otherwise they would not have been able to develop a brand new magic system from scratch.
Even with the reference of [Scroll of Resistance], it still requires countless people to be willing to take unknown risks to explore unknown areas, and to share the gains from exploration with others.
Otherwise, even if everyone has a set of [Scrolls of Resistance], it will be difficult to reach a consensus and achieve a relatively unified magic system.
Shado had read the Netherese Scroll, and naturally knew that there were many magic systems recorded in it, some simple, some complicated, some suitable for humans, some not suitable, but the current arcane fire system of Netheril was not among them.
This is undoubtedly the crystallization of the wisdom of the pioneers!
And now that the former pioneer was about to plunge into an unknown exploration, how could Xia Duo not admire him from the bottom of his heart!
You must know that the princess can succeed in ascending to the gods, but it does not mean that others can also succeed in ascending to the gods. Even if they can succeed, this is not a serious arcane path.
Sha Duo could imagine that this elder who thought of integrating elf magic and druid magic in the past might not just be trying to ascend to the gods this time, but might also want to try a god-like exploration in the field of magic.
If Jenna’s introduction is true, this may indeed be a choice that this elder can make!
In fact, even if his life is about to reach its end and most of the life-extending methods have been used, as long as the elder wants to, he can perform the immortality ritual transformation and transform himself into a non-human being, thus gaining eternal life.
Shado once witnessed Archmage Sandro, who was also from the Morien Tower, perform an immortality ritual in the Temple of Mystery, and it was successful.
Since the elder Jenna mentioned can become a legend, if nothing else happens, he should also be a great arcanist. If Sandro can succeed as an ordinary great mage, then there is a high probability that this elder can also succeed.
At the very least, you should give it a try.
Since there is no such thing, it can only be due to unwillingness.
Sha Duo was still very curious about such an elder and wanted to meet him, so he agreed and asked Jenna: "I wonder when that elder will be free? I want to visit in person."
