For Shado, even though he was doing this in the main plane, he was already very familiar with it in Everesca in the projection plane.
Therefore, while constantly collecting information about the floating city, he could also devote his attention to thinking about the latest developments in the Northland.
At the moment, Yin Erfaran is busy dealing with the sudden influx of orcs, and Cormanthor and Netheril have also launched the first round of negotiations on the matter of Prince Cyre carrying the Netherese Scroll.
Among the five major countries in the North, the remaining Yeerlan and Danzuo. The former seems to have begun preparations for war materials in the country according to Yin Olem, and the latter is involved in the matter of Prince Ser, and there is no news yet.
.
But because their homeland is inside the mountains and the dark regions, it is basically foreseeable that Danzuo will not pay too much attention to the disputes in the land kingdom. In other words, it is difficult to use the disputes in the land kingdom to affect their position.
On the other hand, Evereska, because the Great Elder was assassinated, has now entered a state of war readiness. Except for diplomats, no one else is allowed to enter Evereska for the time being.
At the same time, the "small country alliance" designed by Shado for Everriska is now considered to be in a semi-disintegrated state. No matter whether the assassination of the elder Ankalita is related to Sluvender, Sluvender can't escape it.
Open a relationship.
In addition, other small countries will also consider whether this is a fierce counterattack by big countries against the "small country alliance". The current situation is unclear. For small countries, waiting and watching is already the best choice. If you do too much, you will make many mistakes.
As for the demon descendant, there is no news about the demon descendant appearing in the outside world yet.
This is actually because the secret base that Xia Duo and Hildalanna raided was cleaned up too clean by the God of Ted, and no trace of demonic aura could be found. How to prove that it was related to the demon descendants?
But according to Yin Orem, the Seven Towers have informed all countries about the reappearance of the demons, which should arouse some vigilance among the elven countries.
But what Xia Duo was thinking at this time was that Yeerlan had single-handedly provoked disputes and civil strife in the other four countries, and it seemed that he was bound to capture not only the ancient fortress discovered by Sluvende.
He may even want to take this opportunity to completely resolve the issue of Sluwinder's ownership.
At present, Sluvende's status is very sensitive. Due to the defeat, he had to surrender to Ye Erlan. However, after so many years, there are always restoration forces.
More importantly, at the beginning of the establishment of the Northland Alliance, Ye Erlan advocated that Sluvende also get an independent vote. At that time, Erlan believed that he could fully control Sluvende, but now with the discovery of the ancient fortress, this has become
The center of conflict.
Sruvend may be able to gain real independence through this, not just the so-called independent status in the Northern Alliance, but this is obviously not allowed by Erlan.
When he learned that Yeerlan was preparing for war, and not just fighting for the Northland fortress, Shado understood that the timing of his floating city's appearance was even more subtle.
If it is done too early, not only will it easily arouse the vigilance of other countries, although this is unavoidable, but it is also more likely that Erlan will be regarded as a supporter of Sluvend's independence, and thus be involved in the war.
If it's too late and everything is settled, whether Ye Erlan completely shatters Sluvende's hope of returning to the country or Sluvende successfully returns to the country, it won't make much sense for him to go there.
What Xia Duo wants is to weaken the overall strength of the elf world as much as possible without harming his own interests, instead of fighting to the death with the elf before development is complete.
In addition, he must also consider the variables of the demon descendants. With such a group of trouble-making existences, no one can predict what the future will be like.
The only thing Sha Duo can do now is to complete the construction of the Mystery Lock as soon as possible, and then keep a low profile and wait for opportunities.
…
It was not until after 7 o'clock in the evening that Xia Duo completed the collection of the geographical environment information of the floating city and the adjustment of the mystery lock by substituting environmental factors.
At about this time, Niya sent dinner to the azure plane. Although Sha Duo was not very hungry yet, he still couldn't bear to refuse Niya's offer.
…
After dinner,
Under Niya's gaze, Shaduo began to construct the Mystery Lock, and the main body started to do it himself. Almost instantly, he felt a completely different spell-casting experience from the projection plane.
Similar to the [Xilin Saint Form] spell, Mystery Construction also requires the caster to have a very high affinity to the magic web, otherwise it will not be enough to control the complex and changeable combination of magic web strings.
In the end, Xia Duo only made a start and stopped in time. He could continue a little more, but the risk of failure would also increase at an exponential rate.
If it simply fails, that's fine. It's just a matter of trying a few more times. But if the floating city is damaged, then a lot of time will have to be wasted to repair it.
Sha Duo never thought that the construction of the Mystery Lock would be stuck on the least need to consider the issue of spell casting. Now there are only two ways before him. One is to find a high-ranking mage from the elven magic system that he can trust to help him complete it.
The other is to find a way to complete it yourself.
In fact, if he had to look for the first way, Xia Duo could still find it. He believed that there must be people inside the Seven Towers who studied elven magic and achieved outstanding achievements in it.
Even if you don't have a senior mage, you can find some senior mage to cooperate with him in casting spells, and you can complete the construction of the mystery lock.
But the main plane is different from the projection plane, even for Yin Orem, uu看书www.uukanshu.
com It is impossible for Xia Duo to have no reservations, let alone the Seven Towers.
As a key component of the planned future floating city, adaptive mystery locks need to maintain such unique competitiveness, at least for a considerable period of time.
In fact, in Xia Duo's heart, even if he does not consider practical factors, he is more inclined to find a way to complete it himself. A great man in his hometown once said, "Do it yourself, and you will have enough food and clothing."
This time he was able to ask for help from others, but what about next time? Even if it is okay next time, does he need to ask for help from others if he encounters this kind of thing in the future?
In fact, Xia Duo already has a solution at this moment, which is [Xilin Saint Form]. This spell is different from the construction of the Mystery Lock. Even if it fails, the damage caused is relatively controllable.
And if it is in a specialized magic laboratory, the negative impact of failure can be reduced to the extreme.
But there are so many benefits to success.
The saint form means that Xia Duo immediately has the ability of the high elf mage to control the magic network. Building the Mystery Lock is secondary. The key is that when facing the high elf mage in the future, he will no longer have any shortcomings.
Combined with the micro-magic net deployed by the arcane fire, it can even suppress the opponent in turn.
How could Xia Duo not think of a way to conquer such a spell with real strategic significance!
…
"Let's go back first! I have an idea!"
Shado called Niya and quickly returned to the Tower of Time. When he entered the magic laboratory, he called Niya in and said: "You may encounter similar situations in the future. Let's see what I do first."
.”
"Um."
Niya is actually also very curious about how Xia Duo can qualitatively improve his spell casting ability in a short period of time, and this is indeed one of the most important issues for a new era spell caster like her who can make rapid progress.
