Niya subconsciously leaned towards Sha Duo, leaned her head on Sha Duo's shoulder, and asked softly in confusion:
"How do you think the mission will unfold? Do you really want us to play hide-and-seek with the elves in the forest?"
After training for most of the day, they only learned part of the information about the elves, and the rest was related to joint spellcasting. As for the specific details of the mission, Fustum did not reveal at all.
The training during the day filled her mood, but Niya suddenly realized this problem at night. Elves are known as "sons of nature" or "sons of the forest." Can humans really defeat elves in the forest?
The druid left a deep impression on her during the day. Although she believed that there would be countermeasures from above, Niya still felt deeply helpless in the face of such an enemy that came and went without a trace and was almost like a dead soldier.
feel.
Niya's problem was also Xia Duo's problem, but compared to Niya's confusion, Xia Duo seemed much calmer. He took one of Niya's palms, palms facing each other, and used his real body temperature to dispel her confusion.
.
He gently patted the back of Niya's hand and said calmly: "Although I don't know what the specific mission will be, Her Royal Highness the Princess has recruited all the pioneers. Not all of these pioneers are high-level mages. If even we don't have
To survive, wouldn’t everyone else come to die?”
After hearing the words "all die," Niya couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Of course, it was impossible to die. She knew that the pioneers were related to the teacher's very important plan.
Although I don’t know what it is specifically, judging from some past performances, the Trail Blazers are obviously not cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at will.
However, temporary jokes can dilute the confusion and fear in Niya's heart, but some things still have to be prepared in advance. She held Xia Duo's hand tightly with her backhand and asked again seriously:
"Are we really going to play hide-and-seek with the elves in the forest?"
"I don't know, but I guess the above will definitely facilitate a certain level of head-to-head combat. Otherwise, if we really want to play hide-and-seek, we won't be able to come over, and there's no need to train for joint casting!"
Sha Duo believed that Niya could also understand this, but facing enemies like elves, everyone would be nervous. Even in his mind, images of himself being beaten to death by elves would pop up from time to time.
This is normal, but a real warrior can suppress these negative emotions and let positive emotions take over, thereby correctly responding to external forces.
Is Nia a true warrior?
Xia Duo believes that yes, at least she has fighting consciousness and fighting ability, but her specific combat psychology may be a little worse.
Sha Duo himself was the same, but luckily, his recent trip to the projection plane allowed him to gain hundreds of years of combat experience as a drow warrior.
These experiences are not only specific combat skills, but more importantly, the experience of killing mentality and fighting will.
After all, the combat skills of a drow warrior, no matter how superb they are, are just the icing on the cake for a high-level mage or arcanist. Whether they have a chance to use them is another matter!
Unlike the orcs, although they are brutal and bloody, they are at least within the range of the mage's response. The powerful image of the elves has long been hidden in the hearts of the Nese people.
The more you know, the more you fear elves.
Therefore, regardless of the value of the green field plane itself, Xia Duo speculates that this joint operation, in addition to the intention of getting the pioneers to join the team, may be more about breaking the Seven Towers mages' fear of the elves.
For a long time, the Netherese and the elves, especially the Cormanthor elves, have had conflicts from time to time, but they have not escalated to the level of war, and at least there have been very few deaths.
One of the most frequent and serious conflicts is probably when the Cormanthor elves drive out the orcs in the territory of Nese every year. Under normal circumstances, such conflicts always result in the tolerance of the Nese people.
But this time, Archmage Fulstrom clearly mentioned that once encountering an elf mage, killing must be the first priority. This is obviously an act of war.
Going deeper, perhaps Netheril and Cormanthor will have a bigger conflict, or a real war, soon.
And this joint operation is nothing more than a pre-war ideological mobilization!
…
Xia Duo told Niya his speculation. This argument suddenly shocked Nia and sat up from the bed. In the dark, she looked at Xia Duo and asked:
"You mean, there will be a real war soon?"
"Guess, this is just my guess. Don't make random inquiries. If word spreads, it will become panic-mongering!"
Of course, more seriously, it might destroy the arrangement of the big shots above, but Xia Duo didn't say it out loud.
However, Niya already understood what Xia Duo meant, but this made her agree more with her previous guess, "No, after what you said, I also feel this way. Maybe the real war is not far away!"
"No, don't think so, I'd rather there was no war!"
At present, Netheril has gradually broken away from the conservative atmosphere caused by the theft of the [Scroll of Netheril] in the past hundred years. Everything is developing in a good direction and needs a stable development environment.
Once a war breaks out, the final situation is likely to turn in an unpredictable direction.
If Iolum dies in the war, then this joke will be a bit big!
The real magical world will definitely not be described by those one-sided game data on earth. At least so far, Shado has seen too many things that are inconsistent with the game data before time travel.
Not to mention other things, at least the projection plane is not reflected in the game data on the earth. Others, such as arcane fire, spell slots, and even descriptions of gods, are all different.
Therefore, Shado only knew that Iolum might invent the [Myser Energy Core], but he was not absolutely sure, but——
If even Iolum is killed, then there is no possibility!
Knowledge is not exclusive to one person. Others may be able to invent similar devices, but compared to a relatively certain future like Iolum, there are too many unpredictable factors for others!
Of course, if you think about it differently, it may be that the war that followed soon contributed to Iolum's completion of the final design of the "Myser Energy Core", which is not impossible.
But compared to the possible serious consequences of war, Xia Duo prefers peaceful development. After all, as long as he survives, he has everything.
…
The couple's night conversation lasted until late at night, and I don't know who stopped talking first. The two just hugged each other and slept until early morning.
