The Arcane Empire, despite its name, does not have an emperor or king, and the supreme ruler is called the "Great Sage", and this "Great Sage" is also very interesting.

It reminds Xia Duo of a way of selecting spirit children in his hometown of the West, the so-called "Great Sage" does not rely on magic attainments or military achievements, and the empire has a special department to find the Great Sage.

What is the specific way, there is no "Eddie" in the memory of Xia Duo's projection, he only knows that the great sage does not refer to a specific person, but there are many.

But every Great Sage will actively direct magic, seek benefits, and plan for the future, the Arcane Empire has been established for nearly a thousand years, and there have been turmoil during this period, but in the end, the Great Sage's long-term vision has been proven, thus establishing the current Great Sage succession system.

How the next generation of great sages will be determined, only the current great sages know, including "Eddie", I don't know how many people have ever fantasized that one day they will be approached by the people of the Imperial Preparatory Sage Selection Division and become a candidate for the Great Sage.

However, all those who had this idea failed to realize it in the end, because no one knew what the criteria for the selection division would be, let alone how the Great Sage would choose.

Only the Great Sage knows that the other party is the Great Sage.

Although there are many people who claim to be great sages and try to pass the test in vain, the vast majority of them can't even pass the level of the selection department, let alone face to face with the real great sage.

There are also speculations that there is only one person from the beginning to the end of the Great Sage, and the so-called selection is a trick played by the Great Sage, but this statement is hardly untenable.

After all, with such a big empire and countless mages playing the inheritance game with them, even the great sages may not have such a big face.

……

After leaving the graduation ceremony venue, Xia Duo scavenged for useful information from "Add's" memories as he walked towards the library, where the inheritance system of the Great Sage looked like a conspiracy.

It is too child's fun for a normal country to use this fantasy way to select heirs and leaders, no matter how much the great sages in history have made, but this uncertain way of selecting is really against the normal rationality of a normal country.

There should be key information in this that he doesn't know, because this kind of system can be recognized by a group of great arcanists, and it must also have a certain degree of rationality, but I don't know where it is reasonable.

At the same time, Xia Duo also discovered that the script used by this arcane empire turned out to be a color-resistant script, and even the magic system was basically the same, with the same arcanists and grand arcanists.

It's just that there is no temple here, there are no clergy, from the projection to the present, Xia Duo has not heard a word related to the Lord of Radiance, and the most heard is actually a slogan, almost everyone will shout a few times when they have something to do.

"Arcane Supreme."

Sure enough, it lives up to the name of the Arcane Empire, maybe this is some possibility of the main plane, but in the real main plane, history has not developed into the Arcane Empire.

He really can't wait to learn everything about the empire now.

……

When you come to the library, there are not many people here, only a few people.

For this phenomenon, Xia Duo also understands that "Eddie" remembers it very clearly, because the school provides textbooks, experimental places, experimental equipment, and teachers to teach, and students rely very little on the library.

Even "Eddie" remembers that he had been to the library twice in the past four years, once when he had just arrived, and once when he came to look for information about the Great Sage.

Since "Add" is already a graduate at this moment, Xia Duo is told by the administrator that this is the last time he will enter the library, and after today, he can only apply in advance.

According to the hint in "Memory", Xia Duo came to the history part, and the first thing that caught his eye was a whole row of bookshelves of "General History of the Empire".

After only flipping through one book, his interest was greatly reduced, and he didn't know when he was going to see the whole row of bookshelves, so he could only look for the catalog first, focusing on the part of the origins of the empire.

Fortunately, the book editor here is very similar to the one on Earth, and soon, Xia Duo found his goal-

General History of the Empire, Volume II: The Union of Severington!

"It's really Nessreel!"

No, it should be the isotope of the main plane's Nessreel in the astral projection plane!

If that's the case, then the so-called "demons" are really likely to be elves!

Xia Duo quickly flipped through it, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and closed the book with a "snap", "I see!" ”

There is no commentary on history in the book, it is just a record, and it is in a very neutral tone, and there is a feeling that the merits and demerits are left to be commented on by future generations.

The Severton Alliance is indeed real, it is a village alliance started by a man named Nesse, but then Nesser wants to establish a dictatorship, and the Great Sage instructs the villages to reunite and overthrow Nesse's rule.

Under the leadership of the Great Sage, the nascent Severton League thrived, and later a second generation of the Great Sage emerged, who taught magic to the people and led them to expand the land.

After that, the Great Sage was like rain, wave after wave, and there was even a period of several Great Sages in a generation, until the Sewenton Alliance reached its peak, that is, the establishment of the Arcane Empire.

Although it is a very simple text, Xia Duo can feel the magnificent history described between the lines, but at the same time, he also finds something awkward.

Not to mention where the great sages came from, just the great sages teaching magic are very suspicious, and the color-resistant magic system of the main plane is obtained by studying the [color-resistant scrolls].

The researcher is already a mage himself, but he has previously learned elven magic.

But in this projection plane, at the beginning, the great sage who had no extraordinary power said that he would teach it, and the appearance of this magic was so abrupt that even the [Color Resistant Scroll] or similar items never appeared.

Or is it that the [Color-resistant Scroll] has been discovered and has been monopolized by the Great Sage, this possibility is extremely small, Xia Duo has a bolder idea-

Perhaps, the so-called great sages are all projected from the main plane like him, and they are organized and premeditated collective projections.

Once this person has doubts, then he puts on a layer of colored glasses on everything he sees, and re-examines the process of the generation of the Great Sage, Xia Duo finds that he is not the "Great Sage State" now!

If the Arcane Empire's current Grand Sage is a member of the Tower of Time, then he can confirm each other's identities by exchanging some information on the main plane with him in the past.

The so-called confirmation is really a matter of one or two sentences.

But at the same time, there is another problem, it is obvious that the Great Sage cannot be projected entirely by the Grand Arcanist of the Main Plane, if he really does this, how can he have so many lifespans that can be consumed.

Besides, the projection plane has existed for an extremely short time, how could it be possible to suddenly organize so many great arcanists to play the astral projection together.

The Arcane Empire has a Grand Arcanist, how could they accept the leadership of a group of so-called "Great Sages" who are clearly inferior to them?

Is it the good education of the empire, or the inertia of history, or is there some hidden relationship?

Of course, it is also possible that Xia Duo was wrong, the so-called Great Sage is really a characteristic of the projection plane, a special existence.
