Soon, the trial proceeded to the third and final stage.

Just when Xia Duo thought that the third stage might examine the way the trialists would deal with the other elven kingdoms after unifying the Rystal Forest.

After all, the first stage tests the basic ability to govern, the second stage is to unify the Ristal Forest, and the third stage is also the most reminiscent of the test of conquest.

But I didn't expect it, not at all!

Almost without warning, Xia Duo felt an unbearable stinging pain emerge from his palm and spread throughout his body in turn.

In the midst of this intense pain, he also found a subtle detail of change, but the severe pain prevented him from thinking in a complex way.

For a moment, he thought that he had been recognized by the high mages of these projection planes, and now he was punishing him.

But it doesn't make sense, if this was a punishment, then there would not have been a presiding officer of the trial ceremony who said that to him just now.

Xia Duo had to forcibly concentrate on it, but fortunately, his body was human, and he was a human arcanist, so he had long been accustomed to focusing on spellcasting.

If it is changed to an elf, in this case, it is difficult to stay focused, because they usually do not need to receive such training, and the elf casting is more dependent on the sensing with the magic net, passively casting, and making the magic net respond automatically.

And now, with a high degree of concentration, Shado sensed the soul of "himself", the appearance of an elf, which was none other than Lyle Akalama.

Having had the only real experience of perceiving the projection body through overlapping personal spaces in the [Projection Plane: Dark Domain], he quickly found a little hazy glimmer in the depths of Lyle's soul.

Although it may seem inconspicuous, it is the only reality of this virtual body, and even the entire virtual plane.

Through this projection of the real soul, Chado in turn discovers the virtual and unreal of the soul, and with this awareness, he gains a transcendent perspective on Lyle's soul.

Everything you think will still be fed back in Xia Duo's heart and memory, but it is like an extra layer of diaphragm, and you can choose to accept a lot of information.

For example, the pain now, in addition to the pain of the body itself, there is also the pain of the soul.

And this soul pain, after Xia Duo was able to think completely independently, with the help of the carrier of Lyle's soul, he found that "himself" was undergoing a special soul torture.

He hadn't encountered this spell before, and he didn't know how to deal with it, or he couldn't directly fight it, after all, there were so many high-level mages standing outside!

At this time, Xia Duo realized that the so-called final stage of the trial may be to determine the true thoughts of the trialist, and he cannot say one thing or do another.

After all, becoming the crown queen will give you great power, not only the individual power behind the sword of domination, but also the political power to maintain the system of "prophecy-trial-true king".

If you can't be sure what the trialists really think, in case they don't know, then the trial will be a complete farce.

Xia Duo suddenly realized that perhaps the crown king of Komanso on the main plane was because he could not maintain his original intention, so that Komanso could not completely condense into a rope.

But then again, how can a king who has achieved a lifespan far beyond any other similar one be content to be a virtuous (idle) king who rules vertically, some ideas are inevitable.

In other words, Xia Duo will do the same, as long as he gains enough prestige, or survives a group of old people, he must reform the system and become the real king.

Of course, now that he is in the midst of trials, he will not have these thoughts at all.

Xia Duo carefully perceived some of the new information in Lyle's consciousness, and although he could not fully analyze it, he could also make the most suitable direction for his own interests according to Lyle's instinctive reaction.

For example, if Lyle has an instinctive desire for indulgence, Chardo will guide him to the idea of self-control; If Lyle has an instinctive desire for partiality, Chardo leads him to the idea of justice.

……

In this way, as Xia Duo continued to intervene in Lyle's consciousness, he felt the tingling sensation in his body gradually dissipate, and finally pushed all the way to the palm of his right hand.

At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he had grasped some flat stick-like object.

"This is- the sword of domination?!"

There is no doubt that this is the sword of domination!

Holding the hilt of the sword, Xia Duo felt that he had an indescribable and inexplicable connection with the sword, and he felt that a huge force was surging in the body of the sword.

It seemed that wherever he pointed, the power would strike.

As Xia Duo's right hand with his sword was withdrawn, a little golden light suddenly appeared, and the surrounding scene gradually collapsed, Xia Duo saw the wide trunk of the elder oak not far away, and saw the high mages who were nodding to him.

and the shrinking golden light in front of him.

As the last section of the sword body was withdrawn, the last golden light cluster on the silver platform disappeared, leaving only a golden light like lightning to see the sword body levitating and jumping.

Just as Shado had seen in his dream last night—

The blade of the Sword of Domination looks like it was carved out of stone, and it looks pitted and unsightly, but on closer inspection, each of these dents seems to correspond to a kind of magical rune, which is reminiscent.

The root of the sword body, like the other two divine swords, has a rune that flows slowly like a stream of water, Xia Duo didn't understand the meaning of this rune before, but now he knows-

It is the Elven word "Elkul Krim", which literally translates to the language of Naish, which can also be understood as "the sword of the great king", which is the name of the sword.

The sword's gauntlet is a polished silver metal with a black gem encrusted at each end, and a red gem at the end of the hilt.

These gems, Xia Duo recognizes!

Previously, in the main plane, after the war of Drow on the side of Comanso, a large number of elven refugees fled into the territory of Nessreel.

Among them, there were many who fled to the Savile Domain, and Xia Duo made a small fortune with the patriarch of the Silver Leaf family, Oreps, among which there were four more precious treasures, which were divided equally between each of them and one elf.

One of these treasures was the Wisdom Gem, which was taken by Orepus.

At that time, the gem was black, and according to Oreps, the wisdom gem gradually changed color according to the amount of knowledge stored in it.

From the original blue, it changes to green, black, brown, orange, and bright red in its fullest state.

However, the general family inheritance will include a lot of etiquette, craftsmanship, genealogy and other information, and it is not entirely magical knowledge, which is why Xia Duo could have chosen first but did not ask for that gem.

In terms of understanding of elves, he considered himself no less than real elves, especially those elven civilians.

At this moment, the gauntlet and hilt of the Sword of Domination were inlaid with three wisdom gems, and the one on the hilt was still very close to the red in its most complete state.

It is said that when forging the Sword of Domination, many high-ranking mages injected a lifetime of knowledge and experience into it, and I think it was injected into these three wisdom gems!

"This is definitely the most rewarding of the six projection plane trips!"

Chador's heart was overjoyed, and then he turned around and raised the sword of domination high in front of the elves under the canopy.

At this moment, even the elder oak tree seemed to sense the appearance of the king, and separated the branches a little, and the originally fine and mottled sunlight suddenly turned into a pillar of light, enveloping Xia Duo inside.

It didn't take much more from the old mage to say anything, and the elves had already consciously begun to cheer for the coronation of the new king.
