As the magic ship Riptide sailed rapidly in the depths of the ocean, Shado, who was in Paradise City, finally received the first batch of support from Netheril.
There were seventy-eight people in total, and the one who led the team was Sha Duo’s old friend—Mage Brundes of Jilan Tower. As soon as the two met, Brundes immediately began to say hello:
"This group of Seven Towers elites has been handed over to Lord Xia Duo, and I hope that Lord Xia Duo will teach them more when he has time."
"Don't worry, these people will definitely gain something from my stay!" Xia Duo assured without any worries.
Of course there will be gains. Not to mention the alliance merits gained from this, at least you will have access to the most advanced war spell system at the moment.
If the operation goes well, Xia Duo will also open the advanced function of the computing power pool for them. It is wartime now, and he has too many resources. He just wishes that there is no place to use them, and he will not worry about giving too many resources to himself.
What impact does it have.
With this promise from Xia Duo, Brundes finally relaxed his brows. After all, Xia Duo had pressed too hard before, and with the description of the timeline battlefield learned from the alliance, the Seven Towers were somewhat worried.
.
"Then I won't disturb Lord Xia Duo's arrangements. There should be two groups of people in the follow-up. I will try my best to send those from the Seven Towers over before three o'clock, and I will also help rush those from the other congressmen."
"Well, I won't entertain you in times of war. Let's get together next time when we have time."
After saying that, Xia Duo no longer cared about Brundes's whereabouts. He took the newly arrived seventy-eight Seven Towers mages to the central control level of Yongle City and began a brief pre-job training.
…
And on the other side, in the Riptide.
Sha Duo's incarnation was still talking to Meira, Tai Lun and others. When they were training in Yongle City, they happened to talk about Belluno's high mage.
"There are only six high mages in Belluno who have had actual contact with us, but through our understanding over the years, we speculate that there are at least two high mages in Belluno who have never shown up. Perhaps they are on guard against something, or perhaps they have already
Entering the stage of resisting death.”
Meira provided the latest news. Shado was more interested in this aspect, so he continued to ask: "What is the biggest difference between sea elf magic and surface magic?"
Shado has not actually come into contact with sea elf magic. At most, he has come into contact with some sea elf magic in the projection plane, but this is not enough for him to discover the fundamental difference between sea elf magic and surface magic.
Style is indeed one aspect, but even the elven magic that has been in contact and communicated with the earth for a long time will have some subtle differences in different countries and regions. It is also said that it has long differentiated into another species and lives in the underwater environment.
sea elves in.
Style does not represent essence. In addition to style, Xia Duo feels that there should be a more fundamental difference between sea elf magic and surface magic.
Otherwise, given the adaptability of elf magic, it may not be able to use the underwater environment. If this is the case, then it is unlikely that sea elf magic with such a different style will be produced.
It must be a change in some key places.
Tai Lun may not be able to answer this question, but Meila certainly can. In fact, it is indeed Meila who is explaining, while Tai Lun twitches his ears to show that he is willing to listen.
"The magic of sea elves and the magic of surface elves have indeed evolved into fundamental differences. It is more troublesome to explain directly, but if we make an analogy, it is almost the difference between Nese magic and elven magic."
After saying this, Xia Duo immediately reacted and asked quickly: "Has the Sea Elf Magic abandoned the Magic Network Affinity?"
The biggest difference between traditional elf magic and Nese magic is the so-called affinity with the magic web. The first thing Nese people learned was traditional elf magic. This kind of magic requires long-term training to gain affinity for the magic web.
Once you have affinity with the magic net, the magic net will automatically respond when the caster casts a spell, which is equivalent to "open your mouth when food comes, and stretch out your hands when clothes come".
Spellcasters under the Nese magic system need to complete all the spellcasting elements themselves, but the benefits are also quite obvious.
For long-lived species like elves, it is considered "long-term" training, but for short-lived species like humans, it means it is almost impossible to reach the peak.
Historical facts also prove this. Many magic geniuses emerged in Netheril in the early days, but the highest achievers among them were just elite mages, equivalent to high-level mages in Netheril's magic system.
In hindsight, the magic knowledge provided by Erlan at that time did not intentionally set up obstacles for the Nese people, but the elven magic itself was an obstacle to humans.
It greatly hinders the rate of progress of genius.
Even the most talented person still needs a lot of time to train the magic network affinity in the elf magic system, but in the Nese magic system, although long-term training is still required, this long-term is only for humans.
As long as you are smart enough and pass the spellcasting threshold, you can quickly reach the top in the Nese magic system. The only difference is some spellcasting proficiency, nothing more.
But the upper limit is actually broken through, unlike elf magic, which is almost impossible to break through without corresponding training time. This has nothing to do with the ingenuity of the caster.
In Xia Duo's opinion, the entrance threshold for Nese magic is extremely low, it is conducive to popularization, and it is also suitable for geniuses to quickly upgrade. It can be regarded as a progressive or radical magic system.
Traditional elf magic is not easy to get started and requires a lot of time to train. It is most suitable for the upper class who have a worry-free life. It serves as a harsh barrier to prevent the lower class from rising. It is considered a conservative and even backward magic system.
Of course, this view is still Xia Duo's personal opinion. The current elven magic is a ready-made product left over from the prosperous period of ancient elven civilization.
Perhaps when human magic civilization develops to a certain level, it will follow the old path of elves and deliberately set up obstacles for the popularization of magic.
Xia Duo even thought of the textbooks in his hometown. The early textbooks had a clear system, and anyone with normal thinking could learn by themselves. However, with the development of the textbooks, they became unsystematic, which greatly hindered students' self-study.
, understanding, which in turn contributed to the popularity of extracurricular tutoring.
Various experiences from his hometown and Netheril's past told Shado that when a society is in urgent need of development, nothing will be an obstacle. Once society develops to a certain level, obstacles similar to "preventing self-study" will appear in all aspects.
This also reminds him that in the process of development, we must constantly look for and open up new development opportunities, which is equivalent to constantly raising the upper limit and keeping civilization in the primary stage of development. Only in this way can all strata unite and pursue development.
This is also a bit similar to the "Water Way". Only when you are in a lower position will you have greater development momentum. (Potential Energy Transformation~)
A sage from his hometown once said, "A great achievement may be lacking, but a great gain may be gained." Perhaps a good system is to allow people to always see the current shortcomings, so that there is always room for development. ()
