The development that followed fell far short of Chado's expectations.

Tension soon prevailed throughout the Trial Division, where Osker's official position was that of a clerk in the Ministry of the Interior, responsible for handling cases transferred from the Inspectorate concerning the interior of the Division.

The Ministry of the Interior is such a department that connects the upper and lower levels, inside and outside.

Of course, in reality, Oske doesn't have a lot of work, and usually a lot of his work is handled by Chateau.

Because of this, Xia Duo can learn more about the inside story.

Lately, though, there's been so much going on.

Due to the fact that some time ago, the Arcane Empire achieved a turning victory on the battlefield ahead, and the recent incidents of "demons" breaking through the border barrier have increased many times more than in the past.

Of course, the "demons" did not come here for tourism, to attract corruption, attack and destroy, and even reveal their true bodies to develop faith at the bottom, although there were often such incidents in the past, but they were far less frequent than recently.

The Great Sage has already spoken, saying that it has now reached a critical moment in history, and that by surviving this battle, the final victory can be achieved.

Therefore, whether it is the trial department or other departments, they have made every effort to mobilize the organizational machinery to quell the unrest in the country and let the front line achieve more victories without any worries.

In the office of the Internal Affairs Department of the Trial Division, Xia Duo threw the paperwork in his hand on the table as if he was deflated, then leaned back and closed his eyes.

Although he was only doing some paperwork work, he had hardly been idle throughout the day, and if it weren't for the appearance of a few documents with magical aura from time to time, he would have thought that he was still on Earth 996.

Although the documents sent over are all categorized, some movements in the outside world can be glimpsed from the words inside.

Perhaps the biggest movement was that the border fortress city of Sarandor was attacked by a number of "High Demons", and although it was finally driven away by the garrison troops stationed here, the mage Sarandor, who was an important node of the border barrier, was successfully destroyed by the other side.

The chain reaction brought about by this was not only the emergency retreat of the front-line troops, but also the unknown number of scattered "demons" sneaking in.

Now, in addition to emergency repairs, it is also necessary to guard against further sabotage by the "demons".

Even clerks like Xia Duo have been given a special assignment - anyone who can make useful suggestions for the improvement of the border barrier, even the slightest hint, can immediately join the academy and receive the full support of the Empire.

Along with the mission, there is also information related to the original enchantment, to be honest, Xia Duo can't understand it, but it clearly has an elf style, and it should be studied from the elf lock.

The Arcane Empire also doesn't know how to get the technology of the Lost Lock, but in the Lost Lock field, the elves are the experts, and the magic of the two sides is completely different from the same system, so it is not easy to fully absorb the application.

The main plane did not block the knowledge of the elves, and Xia Duo also knew that one of the major characteristics of the Lost Lock was the permanent change to the magic web, even if the carrier disappeared, the Lost Lock still existed, although it existed in the form of ruins, and it could continue to be used, but the border barrier here in the Arcane Empire could not do this.

This is probably the so-called core technology.

I don't know why, Xia Duo suddenly had a bad premonition, on the surface, the Arcane Empire had the upper hand in the balance of war, but the border enchantment was a big problem.

The so-called border barrier, in fact, does not have any direct protection, more monitoring, restriction, now the Arcane Empire's border barrier, by a large number of mage towers as nodes, can monitor the traces of any non-authorized person, and restrict flight, teleportation, invisibility.

It's called Border Enchantment, but in reality, it covers the entire territory, and it's only named because most of the nodes are located on the border.

Once the barrier fails, the "High Demon" can drive straight into it without any hindrance.

In the past, there have been "high demons" attacking, but every time such an event occurs, the Arcane Empire will destroy it at all costs, and every time a great arcanist is about to reach the end of his life, he will also enter the demon barrier to launch a suicide attack.

After joining the Inquisition, Xia Duo was able to learn such an inside story, and every time he saw such a record, he had to sigh that the Arcane Empire was really just!

In addition, the number of Grand Arcanists of the Empire is not more than twenty on the surface, but more than forty, most of them are in the research institute, and only when they are at the end of their lives will they go outside to become a deterrent on the surface.

In other words, the twenty or so Grand Arcanists on the surface of the present will all end up dying in the battle with the "demons".

At the same time, Xia Duo also understood why the Arcane Empire did not have a life extension spell, if it could prolong its life, how could it be so rigid, and it would definitely make peace, but after a thousand years of peace, could the Arcane Empire still develop like this?

He even speculated that it was likely that the Arcane Empire was not without life extension spells, but was artificially destroyed, and even whoever dared to study it was a public enemy, and it became a taboo for generations.

At this moment, Xia Duo couldn't help but be extremely curious about the great sages of the past generations, what kind of people could make a group of great arcanists willing to become supporters, and even not want their lives.

Most of Eddie's memories were known to Xia Duo, but he was never able to relate to that imperial emotion, nor could he understand what these imperial mages were pursuing.

But the more time he spent here, and the more he got to know him, the more he was no longer as prejudiced against the empire as he had been at the beginning, and even the almost perverted fertility policy was probably just to cope with the attrition of the war.

……

The affairs of the trial department are busy, and Xia Duo almost eats and lives here during this time, and after a long time, he feels tired from body to mind, but everyone else is like a chicken blood, and he is not good at acting differently.

On this day, Oske called Xia Duo out alone, "Add, I have seen your performance during this time, but the war between humans and demons is long-term and protracted, and the above has also found that the atmosphere is not right recently, and it has begun to stop this state, go back and rest for two days, there will be a more cruel war ahead!" ”

As he said this, Oske turned his gaze into the distance, as if there was a war going on there.

Xia Duo followed the other party's line of sight, there was nothing there, but he still liked it during the holidays, but he needed a good rest.

Back in the office, Xia Duo saw a few clerks like him starting to pack their things, while the others were still busy, and it seemed that even if they were on vacation, they would come in batches.

Back at his residence, Xia Duo first applied for access to the college library the next day, and then fell asleep.

……

The next day, when he arrived at the library, Xia Duo found that there were many more people inside than the last time he had visited, most of them gathered in a corner of the spell area, and there were even several people reading the same book together.

In the crowd, he saw a familiar figure - his colleague in the Trial Division, Garin, who was also a clerk.

At this time, Gar was holding a book and staring at one of the pages, frowning, Xia Duo walked over and shouted softly, "Garin! ”

"Ah, it's Add! You're also here to check out the information on the border barrier? ”

"Sort of."

Xia Duo didn't expect the other party to come to see this, it's true that the other party is a high-level mage, but Xia Duo is also a high-level mage, and he didn't say that he couldn't understand the information sent above before, at least more than half of it couldn't be understood, Xia Duo was not optimistic about what constructive opinions the other party could put forward.

After a few words of conversation, Xia Duo picked up a book related to the enchantment at random and went around to the meditation method. He was more interested in the so-called meditation method than the border barrier, or even the survival of the Arcane Empire.
