Arcane Lord

Sitting down with Niya in the section of Giles Tower, Shado had time to take a good look at the arena.

Similar to modern stadiums on Earth, this arena is also a ring-shaped structure with seats distributed around it, with the seats getting higher toward the periphery.

The one facing the entrance is empty, as if there is a hole in the ring, and in the direction facing the entrance, there are only three seats, which are obviously the seats for the representatives of the three parties in this snow melting competition.

On both sides of the tripartite representatives, there are some "lesser-class" seats, and I don't know who will sit on them. There is no one there yet.

In the center of the arena is the battle platform. There is also a battle platform in the central square of Savile Town, which can be displayed or hidden through the control of relevant magic circles.

However, the battle platform here in the arena has been prepared. It is diamond-shaped and looks smaller than the battle platform in Savile Town. Xia Duo can't help but wonder, is such a big place enough for spellcasters to move around?

…

The entire arena exudes the aura of magic. Not to mention the reconstructed magic network environment, even the arena itself may be shaped by magic, and is made of stone, light blue, and integrated into one body.

Xia Duo casually knocked the seat under him with the [Pioneering Scepter]. It looked like it was made of stone, but it made a clear, metallic sound. Not only Xia Duo, but other spellcasters who came in were also looking here and there with great curiosity.

After a while, in the direction of Xia Duo, close to the battle platform, a white light suddenly flashed, and a spellcaster appeared there, and then, one after another teleportation started.

In all directions of this ring-shaped arena, people were constantly teleporting close to the battle stage. In addition to humans, there were also dwarves and elves.

Is it finally starting?

Xia Duo clenched his hands subconsciously. He didn't know how many great arcanists had come over. So far, he had only seen two great arcanists with his own eyes. The others were only heard about and recorded in books.

Didn't see it with my own eyes.

Somewhat regretful, but also fortunate.

Wait a moment, maybe several great arcanists will show up. Even though he knows that they will not target him, Sha Duo is still a little nervous. This is the sense of oppression caused by unequal power.

After a while, the frequency of transmission began to slow down, and it seemed that everyone who was supposed to arrive had arrived, only the big shots were missing.

At this time, Xia Duo deliberately counted. There were only a few hundred people who looked like spellcasters on the human side, more than 400, and less than 500. These were those who had just teleported in, not counting those who walked in from the entrance.

If you count, there are about 800 or 900 people.

As for those who were not dressed as spellcasters, there were only twenty or thirty people.

This is a human being. On the dwarf side, there are only thirty in total. One of them is sitting on the "lesser noble" seats on both sides of the three main seats. Almost all of these dwarves are wearing armor and carrying hammers. They are not tall. , without a neck, it looks like a wine barrel with a hammer hanging next to it.

Sha Duo didn't understand why these dwarves had a foothold in the magical world. It was a fact that the Nese people lacked mithril. If the dwarves were all "warriors", there would be no way to stop the Nese mages from robbing them.

Perhaps the dwarf mage is dressed like this.

From a distance, Shado couldn't tell whether those armors and weapons were magic weapons, but to be able to sit on the second seat after the three main seats, the dwarf must have something special.

On the elves side, there were more people. They were sent in batches. There were about two to three hundred, which was ten times that of the dwarves.

Shado is not surprised that the elves have these people, because the population of the elves is already large, and the population of the country of Erlan alone exceeds that of Netheril.

This time, only two to three hundred elves came, which was relatively few.

However, Xia Duo also noticed that more than half of the elves present were golden elves. Most of the other moon elves and wood elves were sitting around them, and there were even some mixed in with the humans.

At present, there is only a dwarf holding a hammer sitting on the second seat stupidly. Neither humans nor elves have arrived yet.

Just when Xia Duo was wondering if there was any emergency, the last batch of transmissions ended, and eight humans and four elves appeared almost at the same time.

When these eight humans and four elves appeared, almost all humans and elves stood up, and Xia Duo was no exception.

Among these eight humans was the princess that Shado had seen, but Byron, the other great arcanist he had seen, did not appear. Except for the princess, all the others had unfamiliar faces.

However, from the emblems on their robes, Xia Duo still recognized their identities. Unsurprisingly, they were the seven great arcanists of the Seven Towers, and the last one——

It’s actually the emblem of Iolum!

Although Xia Duo didn't do much research on territorial emblems, he would pay extra attention to the one he was interested in. The person present this time should also be the Great Arcanist, but Shado was not sure whether he was Iolum himself.

Iolum has two great arcanists, one is Iolum himself, and the other is his student Brod. He did not open up a separate territory like Savile, but built the mage tower on I came to Iolum.

Although this man looks like a middle-aged man, he may be Brod, but now that he knows that there may be [Iolum Immortality Technique] in the future, I must also have such a skill in extending life of Iolum now. .

Then the possibility of it being Iolum himself is not small.

"Niya, have you seen the one with the emblem of Iolum on his clothes? Do you know who he is?" Shado leaned close to Niya and whispered in Niya's ear.

Niya's great-grandfather Savile was a student of Iolum, so he might leave some information behind.

"He is His Excellency Iolum himself. His great-grandfather left a portrait of his teacher!" Niya sounded a little excited. She had heard Iolum's story when she was very young. It can even be said that she listened to Iolum's story. Tom's story grew up.

Whether it was his great-grandfather's teacher, or the outstanding mentor who taught the two great arcanists, or his outstanding achievements in fighting the orcs and nearly eliminating the orc tide in the core area of ​​Nese, or even some magical exclusive spells.

There are so many legends about Iolum!

But since most of the orcs were wiped out, Iolum rarely showed up again. There were even rumors that Iolum was dead, but Niya never believed such rumors.

Looking at Niya's expression of excitement as a fan seeing her idol, Shado felt a little uncomfortable, but in fact he was also very excited. It was such a person who started the golden age of Netheril.

[Misser Energy Nuclear] is comparable to the controllable nuclear fusion on earth. It is a high-power unlimited energy source that can do so much.

Xia Duoneng could guess that the principle of [Myser Energy Core] was probably similar to Arcane Fire. It could draw energy from the magic network or even directly from the inner plane, but Arcane Fire could not be preserved independently, and no one even knew how to preserve it.

There was no theory, no concrete techniques, and no idea of ​​how to even begin research.

He didn't believe that no one except him had thought of making a magical item with arcane fire, which was used to specifically create arcane crystals. However, so many mages had not developed it, but it was Iolum who developed the [Mither Energy Core]. 】.

What other explanation is there besides genius?

Of course, the [Myser Energy Core] has not yet come out. As for whether it has been researched or not, only Iolum himself knows.

Watching Iolum slowly sit down, Sha Duo gradually calmed down and pulled Niya to sit down too.
