"Then let me tell you, in addition to the light you saw, I also saw the back of a human being."
"Who is it? What are its characteristics?" Farrow asked quickly.
No matter who it is, as long as he can find the other party, he has great confidence in controlling the changes revealed by the oracle, whether the changes are good or bad.
But Irian showed a troubled expression, "I don't know, the light is too bright, like facing the sun, I can only judge that his appearance is human."
As if to prove his words, Irian also summoned a patch of light and shadow to simulate the scene he saw. Other high mages looked over.
Sure enough, under the cover of the bright light, no matter what characteristics it had, what finally appeared in the eyes of the mages was just a slightly blurred black silhouette.
It can be vaguely seen as a human being, but there are many spells in the world that can change the body shape.
Farrow himself mastered such a spell, so he judged that this figure was a human being. Even he could not accept it. What made him even more unable to accept it was——
Regardless of whether the changes in the future are good or bad, they will have a huge impact on the fate of the elves.
Humans? How is that possible!
But the reality is that the oracle of the Lord God clearly stated that the accident occurred in the former place of the Alabaster Tower, which is the place now occupied by the Nese people.
Now seeing the silhouette of a human being, even if Farrow didn't want to believe it anymore, he had to admit that it was very likely that it was a human being.
Netheril has a population of millions. It is not easy to find a specific person among these millions of Netherese!
What's more, the Nese people are keen on exploring the alien plane, and we don't know how many people they hide in the alien plane!
For a moment, Farrow felt a little shaken in his heart. It wasn't until the holy power from the Lord God in his body fluctuated slightly that he finally woke up. No matter how difficult the task was, he had to complete it.
"It's a pity that we can't judge how this change affects the fate of the elves! Is it good or bad?"
If it can be confirmed that the existence of the Nese people is detrimental to the elves, the worst possible scenario is to persuade many countries to unite and wipe out all the Nese people. This may be much easier than directly investigating the so-called accident that has no clue.
"That's it for today. Please pay attention to the battle situation between Cormanthor and Drow in the near future. Drow are not the enemy of Cormanthor. If those black skins are allowed to rush to the surface, none of your homes will be able to escape.
"
After saying that, Farrow stood up and left directly. He decided to go to Avandor to see the Lord God while the situation was not critical. If he could see the Lord God, he might be able to get more information about the changes in the old place of the Snowflake Tower.

【Plane of Annihilation】
Xia Duo did not expect to see a living great arcanist here. Although he could see him every day in the arena, and there were more than one, opportunities for such close contact were still very rare.
He had only seen the princess, Byron, and Randall, the three great arcane masters, at close range before, and only the first two had spoken, but this time there was one more——
Grand Arcanist Badigal from Gustav's Tower.
Xia Duo had met this person several times in the arena before, but after actually getting in touch with him, Xia Duo felt that both the rumors and his previous impression were biased.
Rumor has it that Grand Arcanist Badigal is warlike, good at fighting, and has a hot temper, while what Sha Duo saw in the arena before was majestic, solemn, and unsmiling.
But the real situation is——
I didn't see the bellicosity, but it must be true that he is good at fighting. At least in the princess's opinion, Badigal should be more skilled at fighting than her or Master Byron, otherwise the person who came to train would not be Badigal.
He had a hot temper, but he didn't notice it. At least Badigal was very patient and meticulous when training these arcane masters in spell attack and defense skills. He didn't reject Sha Duo's onlookers, and there was no sign of irritability at all.
As for majesty, solemnity, and seriousness of speech, those are just Xia Duo's first impressions when looking at them from a distance in formal occasions, but here -
Badigal did not show a temperament that would make people stay away. He had a great time chatting with the ten arcanists. He even took care of Xia Duo and tried to use simple language when explaining.
This made Xia Duo feel quite flattered.
No matter what his true nature was, his ability to be so approachable made Xia Duo feel good and respected towards him.
Of course, in this situation, Xia Duo's private work cannot be done. After all, private work can be done at any time, but the lessons taught by the Grand Arcanist in person are not available at all times!
"Okay, you practice in pairs first. Xia Duo, come and accompany me in the next round!"
How dare Xia Duo disobey the Grand Arcanist's instructions? Fortunately, there may not be many other things in this sacred residence, but there are many chess pieces, all of which are physical chess pieces and chessboards.
After agreeing, Xia Duo took the initiative to place the chessboard and chess pieces, "Master Badigal, please come first!"
"No, I found that you can always win if I go first. You go first in this round!"
"..."
The Grand Arcanist is so busy with his affairs that he has no time to delve into playing chess. Xia Duo played two games with him before and won easily. Now that the Grand Arcanist wants to win, should Sha Duo give in?
This is really an embarrassing question!
It's like playing chess with the leader, should you win? Or lose?
Xia Duo's chess skills are not strong enough to control the chess game, but his defeat happens to be subtle, allowing the Grand Arcanist to win comfortably. If he insists on losing, he doesn't think Badigal can't figure it out.
Based on Sha Duo's judgment, the Grand Arcanist probably doesn't want to win in this way.
With this thought, Xia Duo immediately made a decision.
Half an hour later, Badigal suddenly said, "I'm going to see how they are practicing," then messed up the chessboard and walked away as if nothing had happened.
"..."
Well, this is the third time that Xia Duo has encountered this situation. Fortunately, it is not a magic trick, he just thinks that he is a great arcanist and can't bear to lose face.
After picking up the fallen chess pieces and placing them back on the chessboard, Sha Duo came over again, observing the Grand Arcanist's class while waiting for the Grand Arcanist to invite a battle again.
…
Five days passed quickly.
Before leaving, Badigal suddenly stopped Xia Duo, "You haven't let me win even once in the past five days. This is the first time I feel so frustrated. What do you think I should do with you?"
"..." Xia Duo stood dumbfounded on the spot. Could this be the legendary settlement of accounts after the fall?
"Hahaha! I feel comfortable, I feel comfortable!"
Xia Duo's cheeks twitched. He didn't expect the great arcanist to have such a side, which scared the baby to death.
cough--
Badigal suddenly straightened up, "I'm very satisfied with these five days, and in order to reward you for your contribution to Netheril, I can let you make a request. Just think about it carefully now."
"This -" The world is changing too fast for Xia Duo to control. Although this is a benefit, it is obviously also a problem.
Your boss says you are casual, are you really casual?
For a moment, all the past experiences flashed in my mind, and at the same time, in the portable space, the notes recording difficult problems were also flipping through quickly. Obviously, it was impossible for the lion to open his mouth, but to solve a problem that Xia Duo found difficult, it should be for the great arcanist.
Just a casual thing.
Soon, Shado had an idea, "Master Badigal, is there any magic item in Netheril that can contain arcane fire? How can I get the manufacturing method?"
