For the next period of time, Xia Duo was busy with half-plane experiments, recording and analyzing the effect of the plane root on the matter circulation in the plane, as well as studying the relationship between the magic network environment and the plane root.

On the other hand, he also keeps a close eye on the territory, especially after the official promulgation of the "Code of Ethics for the Subjects of Great Xia", the power of order has changed significantly, and he is gradually promoting the construction of the power of order.

……

At this time, Severnton.

It has been more than a month since the princess incarnate left, and the aftermath of the ascension seems to have finally subsided at this time, but under the calm, there are countless undercurrents hidden.

According to sources, Ilfarão will send competitors to this year's snowmelt competition, which is likely to be a fierce battle like never before.

However, there was no reply from the Severynton Parliament or the Ilfarang Embassy.

On the contrary, Ambassador Yerlan Ifuaris has said in public on more than one occasion that Yerlan has no objection to Ilfarang's participation in the snowmelt competition.

In addition, on some of the more personal occasions, Ambassador Ifuaris has said something along the lines of "the need for the existence of the Northland Union".

Combined with a gossip that arose out of nowhere, the Comanso army was recently ambushed in the process of expelling the Drow and suffered heavy losses, one High Mage was killed on the spot, and many High Mages suffered unknown curses.

Some authoritative sources interpreted Ambassador Yerlan's behavior as "a show of goodwill to Nesserel and prepare for the establishment of the Northland Alliance."

Ambassador Ifuaris did not respond to this.

……

Severton Embassy District, Comanso Embassy.

In the study, Ambassador Atlan had just finished his correspondence with China, but at the moment his mood was like a wind chime fluttering in front of the window, and it was difficult to calm down.

When he had recently learned of some rumors circulating in Severington, he immediately realized that there might be a change in the country, and it was so great that he, the ambassador, would only know through the rumors on Sevington's side.

Atlan was sure that he had not been exiled here, but had a great mission, and had been recognized by the Crown, but—

Why did things turn out this way?

After making hasty contact with the country, Atlán hears a piece of news that he has always found difficult to accept-

The recent defeat in the domestic Drow war is real!

It's also true that the High Mage died in battle!

Of course, the gossip circulating in Severton isn't entirely accurate, as it doesn't mention - despite the dearly cost to Comanso, the underground passage in the Dragonspine Mountains has been completely destroyed, and the Drow on the surface has been wiped out!

It can be said that the war of drow in the country has come to an end in fact.

In addition, the new task from China is also difficult for him to accept - to find out the bottom line of the negotiation of the Northland Alliance of Ilfar, and strive to facilitate the final talks to be held in the Elven Court!

This means that there seems to be a compromise in China!

Not only to compromise with the elven kingdom of Ilfarang, which is extremely hostile to Comanso, but also to a human kingdom like Netheril!

Atlan couldn't figure out why things had come to this point, and even though Comanso had suffered huge losses in the Drow War, there was no need to compromise with Ilfarlang and Nessreel!

For a moment, the wise image of His Majesty the crowned king Elisel collapsed in Atlan's heart.

But he quickly banished this almost blasphemous thought from his brain and tried to convince himself that none of this was true, that it was all an illusion of a human mage!

……

I don't know how long it took, but the light in the study gradually dimmed, and the magic lamp automatically emitted a light light.

Atlan casually turned off the magic lamp that he loved on weekdays, and placed himself in the dark, as if only in such an environment could he keep the "truth" in his heart.

Soon, when the day dawned and he woke up, Atlan walked out of the study with a pale face and came to the atrium, where flowers and plants bloomed all year round, but at the moment he had no desire to enjoy the scenery.

Looking at the sky above the Yerlan Embassy, which was not far from the old embassy area in Severton, the magical barrier that had not risen yesterday, Atran cursed hatefully:

"Sure enough, it's the kingdom of traitors!"

Yerlan's founding history is not glorious, and the original founders are a complete group of betrayers in Atlan's eyes, and those betrayers have not even spared their mother country.

In the past, Atlan still had a lot of good feelings for Yerlan because of Yerlan's attitude towards Ervanda, but now, Yerlan's turn to embrace the Northland Alliance reminded Atalan of the country's history again.

"Betrayer!"

……

At the same time, in the headquarters of the Arcane Federation, in a highest-level spell laboratory, an experimental accident was once again staged that almost collapsed.

Iolem's experiment on the stand-alone arcane fire device failed again, and now that the experiment has been carried out, Iolem finally feels a little exhausted, he glanced at the students who had begun to skillfully clean up the mess, and couldn't help but sigh slightly:

"Broad, I've tried a lot of new ideas lately, but I think it's getting farther and farther away from the right path!"

When Broad heard this, he made a move, and the environment of the riot net, which was gradually subdued, suddenly fluctuated, which was just like Broad's mood at the moment, and he didn't want the teacher to continue this kind of research with no end in sight.

Compared to any independent arcane fire device, he hoped that the teacher would make a breakthrough in the life extension spell, after all, the teacher was close to three hundred years old this year.

Not everyone has the same good fortune as Master Congenio, not only has he received the blessing of immortality from the elves, the secret flame baptism of the goddess of magic, but also completed a variety of life extension rituals that require luck to complete.

The teacher made it clear early on that he would not carry out inhuman transformation, so that many immortal rituals would not be usable, and when the time came, it was almost inevitable that the soul would return to the underworld!

Thinking of this, Broad persuaded again:

"Even in theory, the independent arcane fire device is almost impossible to complete, teacher, I think your idea may be fine, but limited by our current understanding of magic, I don't think this is a good time to study, it is better to postpone research in this area!"

"You're right! But any new spells and new technologies are not for nothing, someone has to make a huge effort to do so, and if the situation is good now, then I am naturally willing to wait for the results of others, but now-"

"Isn't the situation getting better now? Comanso has suffered a heavy blow, and the Northland Alliance is about to be established, it is the best time for us to develop steadily, and there is really no need for teachers to rush so much! ”
