If you continue to use [Light of Annihilation], the loss of the equipment itself is actually nothing. Even if you have to temporarily create a new core magic weapon, it is not difficult.
The key is that using [Light of Annihilation] may trigger the Northern Alliance's magic limit monitoring, which is still a bit difficult to bear. Maybe half a month later, Netheril's entire year's super magic limit will be consumed by him.
Run out!
If it were in the past, Shado might not care much about the [Demon Restriction Treaty], but now, not only within Netheril, but also within the Northern Alliance, order has increased. As long as he does not want to cut himself off from others, there are still some rules that he must abide by.
For example, within Netheril, once his use of metamagic exceeds the limit, it will inevitably affect his voting rights in various parliamentary affairs, similar to the breach of contract clause when cooperating with the Seven Towers.
The same is true within the Northland Alliance, not to mention that Xia Duo also wants to deeply participate in the establishment of order in the Northland Alliance. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to take the initiative to destroy order.
If you feel that the magic restriction treaty is unreasonable, you can first propose a renegotiation instead of just ignoring it. In fact, Xia Duo is already preparing to mention this matter in the Northern Alliance.
With the development of magic level, the super magic quota established in the past is no longer applicable. I am afraid that the elven countries that were the original leaders of the treaty will also feel the pressure.
This is somewhat similar to the carbon neutrality plan developed by the pre-industrialized countries on Earth. Under normal circumstances, this is a restriction on post-industrialized countries in the name of environmental protection.
But once those first industrialized countries face a crisis or discover new opportunities, they must give priority to development instead of continuing to play environmental protection games.
But the rules have been set, and it would be quite uncomfortable to slap yourself in the face.
Xia Duo felt that the magic restriction treaty would have to be discussed in the future, but this was not the reason for him to continue to break through the bottom line. After comprehensive consideration, he decided to give up continuing to interfere with the weather.
After all, the climate abnormality itself was not caused by him. An early snowfall is just an early snowfall. As long as advance notification is in place, there is nothing to criticize.
Even if someone blames him for the losses due to snowfall and cold winter, this can be argued and refuted, unlike the fact that the amount of super magic exceeds the standard and the data indicators are difficult to refute.
In addition, Xia Duo is actively seeking a solution to the Dragon Mad Lock crisis, which will also bring him great reputation. Once successful, it will undoubtedly overwhelm all criticism.
…
Sha Duo told Niya and others about his considerations. Savile, Epps, and Aberke could understand it, but Niya still couldn't accept it.
Of course, rationally, she also knew that Xia Duo's approach might be the best, but emotionally, she just couldn't accept that Xia Duo was accused without reason, even though the accusation had not really come yet.
"Let's leave it at that! I will go to Severington in person later, discuss it with the teacher first, and then decide how to notify the council and how to inform the territories."
Then, Shado asked Niya to stay in the floating city to monitor the status of the core weapon of war spells, and asked Saville to monitor the flow of clouds outside, and contact him at any time if there was any abnormality.
And he himself returned to the ground for observation for a while, and was about to go to Severton through the portal in Codex Square. At this moment, an unexpected communication stopped him.
"What? Tarafu, you came here in person?"
After receiving this news, Sha Duo was both happy and a little burdened. Of course, he was happy because the elemental spirits would be available soon. In fact, his departure from the laboratory this time was not entirely due to Leiden's report.
To a large extent, this is also because the elemental essences in the laboratory are not enough. Mainly the two attributes of wind and water have been used up. Before the blood-related elements can be stripped away, the essences of other attributes are of little use.
But Tarafu is giving gifts and delivering them personally. It is hard not to think of an old saying from his hometown - "Everyone must ask for something if they are given a courtesy."
Xia Duo feels a little too busy here now, so how can he still have the energy to go to the south?
However, since he is here, he cannot miss him, not to mention that he also brings the elemental essence that he urgently needs, so he must meet him even for the sake of the elemental essence.
…
Soon, not long after Tarafu contacted him, Xiaduo received a message from Savile, saying that he had monitored the abnormal cloud flow in the south. At this time, Xiaduo had not yet gone to Severington, and he immediately realized that it might be Tarafu.
arrive.
So, he and Saville synchronized the location of the abnormal cloud flow, and then contacted Tarafu to ask for the other party's location. As expected, the two locations were very close.
It seems that that is Tarafu!
Sha Duo randomly drove the floating city to meet him, and he himself returned to the floating city through the portal in Codex Square, and transformed the floating city with Hengchun Square as its surface.
After a while, he saw with his naked eyes an extremely obvious line-like mark in the clouds below that spread far to the south.
It seemed like something huge was charging all the way, smashing through the clouds and rushing towards the north.
Through the Floating City's war spell [Wide Area Detection], Xia Duo already knew what the coming behemoth was, but he still wanted to see it for himself with his naked eyes!
The behemoth was moving extremely fast. It was far away just now, but in a short time it was almost above the Wolf God Mountain.
The distance between Wolf God Mountain and Daxia Territory is tens of miles. This distance is not a problem, but the speed of the behemoth slowed down a bit after approaching Daxia Territory.
But it is still very fast, far exceeding the flying speed of a normal mage.
And at this last distance, the behemoth finally broke out of the clouds. It was a huge cyclone that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It had just emerged from the clouds. The lower half of its body was dyed black and was wrapped with lightning.
However, the upper body of this huge wind element is still relatively clean, and its vague shape can only be seen through the refraction of weak light caused by different air flow rates.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't see it. Right above the wind element is a high-domed building supported by more than a dozen columns.
It was obviously not a natural creation, and with Xia Duo's extraordinary eyesight, he could even see the far-sighted figure standing in front of the building.
Although Xia Duo has not done much research on elemental creatures, he can initially judge that such a large wind element is probably another lord-level element!
For such a big guy, even if he does nothing and just walks around the territory, it will be an irresistible doom for ordinary people.
Even if a spellcaster like Xia Duo wants to target elemental creatures of this level, it is not an easy task.
This is not a creature of flesh and blood. It can be killed as long as it bleeds. The wind element is completely gas. With such a large body, unless it is annihilated in a very short time, it will be like a mosquito biting an elephant, and it will not cause much harm at all.
Of course, if you can pinpoint the location of the spirit, it may be possible to kill it with one blow.
