Chapter 518: Targeting, Precursor to War?

The other party seemed to be telling his companion about the situation on the Arcanist's side, and even pointed at the Arcanist who was fighting against Mage Yerlan on the stage.

Only as if he was discussing something, his demeanor was full of confidence.

Looking at those elven high mages again, they looked unfathomable, and they couldn't see any unusual appearances, but among the several great arcanists, some of them had already clearly shown angry expressions.

It's just that I thought of something, and forcibly suppressed it.

Soon, the end of this battle between Nesseril and Yerlan was won by Nesser, but again, the process of this victory was not easy.

Xia Duo touched Nia's arm and sighed: "Every time, it is Nesseriel who challenges first and accepts the challenge last, which is very disadvantageous in this form, coupled with the deliberate targeting of Yeerlan and Comanso, [Spell Duel] This item, Nessreel is estimated to be difficult to win." ”

"yes!"

I don't know when it started, Nia's hands were already clenched nervously, and when she heard Xia Duo sigh, she couldn't help but sigh, full of doubts, "How did this year's snowmelt competition become like this?" ”

As she spoke, she looked at Xia Duo nervously again, "Do you think there will be any accidents with the [Grand Illusion] and [Arcane Mystery]?" ”

Although the victory or loss of the snowmelt competition has nothing to do with Nia, she is a part of Nesserel after all, and although it is unclear what kind of interests are involved behind the snowmelt competition, she understands that Comanso will not force her to win a match.

Although Xia Duo knew that there must be interests behind the snowmelt competition, he couldn't imagine how big these interests were, so his answer to Nia's question was still conservative, "There is this possibility, but your teacher must have thought about these a long time ago, let's not worry, let's watch the game with peace of mind." ”

That being said, but in fact, Xia Duo himself was a little uneasy in his heart, and the case of the instant destruction of the Arcane Empire in the projection plane was still vivid, could this situation be a harbinger of war?

There is a well-known "Thucydides Trap" on Earth, which says that a new power will inevitably challenge the existing power, and the existing power will inevitably respond to this threat, so that war becomes inevitable.

Although today's Nessera is not yet rising, in Xia Duo's opinion, this trend already exists, and the elves are not stupid, let you develop for nothing, even if you don't carry out a direct war, there will definitely be a considerable degree of suppression and infiltration, and it is impossible to be indifferent.

Perhaps we have reached a critical juncture.

Xia Duo does not have the perspective of God and cannot understand all the details, but judging from the information currently available, the possibility of war is still not small.

……

The first event of the snowmelt competition [Spell Duel], 10 people from each of the three sides, each of them only competed in two games, a total of 30 games, and only ten games were completed on the first day, until the afternoon, El Carmon announced the end of today's game early, and it will continue tomorrow.

On the way back, Xia Duo recalled the ten games just now, of course, if you want to exclude the three games between the elves, there are actually only seven games.

With the increase in the number of followers, many situations are becoming more and more obvious.

For example, when elves are against humans, they will always try their best to attract human arcanists to unleash arcane fire, and then damage arcane fire; For example, some of the spell-casting habits of Yerlan, Komanso mage, and so on.

And in terms of spell knowledge, Xia Duo was not disappointed, although there were many elements beyond the level of the magic net that he could see, what he could see was also very precious.

If it weren't for an arcane competition, what arcanist would be willing to show him so generously?

As he walked, Shado and Nia discussed the details of the spell they had just seen, and when they passed by Master Gretta's tavern, Shado suddenly felt a little hungry, so he called Nia and walked into the tavern that was more like an academic salon.

This time, Xia Duo took the initiative to order, and while waiting for the food to arrive, Xia Duo heard the mage at the table next to him discussing this snowmelting competition, and the other party did not use the soundproof enchantment, of course, the sound was not too loud.

"Did you hear that? In this snowmelt competition, Yeerlan and Comanso jointly targeted us! ”

"No, hasn't Yeerlan always had a good relationship with us humans?"

"Your news is long outdated, at the beginning of the year, Ambassador Yerlan made a big fuss in the Sevington Parliament, if it is really a good relationship, how can you do such a thing?"

"Really?"

"Of course, I have a friend whose father is a lord, and he represented his father at the council of lords at the time and saw it with his own eyes!"

"Ahh

……

As he listened, the waiter brought Xia Duo's food, and he casually cast a soundproof barrier, and then discussed it with Nia in a whisper while eating.

"You see, now many people know that Nessrell and Yeerlan have a falling out, I really don't know what will happen next!"

"With the teacher here, it shouldn't affect us." Nia's tone wasn't quite sure, today in the arena, the teacher was indifferent to the elves' obvious match-fixing, and she didn't know if the teacher could shelter her.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered her great-ancestor who had been displaced in another plane and was about to return, the Grand Arcanist Saville, if the great-grandfather was here, he must have been able to protect her.

It's just that the Plane Exploration Array of the Tower of Time, as a space-time landmark to guide the return of the Great Ancestor, has been activated for more than half a year, but why hasn't the Great Ancestor returned yet?

Nia was reluctant to go for the worst, and now all she could do was wait, and when it came to the fate of the nations, there was very little she could do as a small arcanist.

Such a serious topic is not suitable for discussion during dinner, and the atmosphere became a little dull, Xia Duo hurriedly changed the topic, "Wait a ride with me to the port." ”

"Ports? Are you saying a magic book? ”

"Well, I'm going to make my own spell book, if there is a ready-made one for reference, it will be easier, your spell book has not been made, if you have something to gain this time, you will also have half of yours."

"No, if you can really get the spell book, you don't have to give it to me." Nia suddenly became a little nervous.

Xia Duo was a little strange and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Don't you want to look into it? ”

"I'm sorry, Xia Duo, although I didn't make a spell book, but my father left his spell book to me before entering the static room, and the make-up lesson ordered by the teacher has not been completed, so I don't have time to make another spell book in a short time."

“……”

Xia Duo's mouth opened slightly, but he didn't say anything, what else could he say? He had nothing to say.

Well, Xia Duo is actually envy and jealousy.

……
