"Lord Hawke, everyone else has left, is there anything else you can do?"

Hearing this, Hawke's expression quickly became vivid, and he was not embarrassed by the sudden departure of the people in the Seven Towers just now, and the others did not seem to be with him, which made him even more angry in his heart.

For a time he was on the spot, and waited until after the people had gone, when Ioram inquired, and then he came to his senses, got up and saluted Iolum, and then said:

"Please also forgive me for my disrespectful behavior at the meeting just now."

"It's okay, when you live to my age, you won't care about this."

Although Iolam was dissatisfied with Hawke's behavior of disturbing the order of Nessreel without authorization, he did not have much prejudice against Hawke himself, let alone resentment like Badigar and Skum.

However, just as Hawke was about to leave, Iolem still reminded him meaningfully, "The Nethrel and the Elven Kingdoms are always two races, and only the stronger the Nesser, the more room you have for development!" ”

Hawke was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, just left silently.

……

And on the other side, in the watchtower.

Xia Duo, who was busy for most of the night but never succeeded once, finally had to temporarily give up his plan to complete it overnight, and simply cleaned up and fell asleep.

After breakfast early in the morning, he was going to Severton to inquire about the news, and then go to the Acantrophic Federation to take advantage of the slightly better facilities of the Watchtower to continue to make demon-slaying arrows.

It was only as soon as he arrived at the Arcane Federation that he heard a lot of people talking privately about the impromptu meeting of the Great Arcanists that had just ended.

In addition to mentioning the Sewinton Puzzle, the permission to build the tower, and the negotiations of the Northland Alliance, the results of the investigation into the cause of Cliff's death, which Xia Duo was most concerned about, finally had a statement from the Seven Towers-

Recognized as an accident!

Maybe even Xia Duo himself didn't notice it, but when he heard the news, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, this matter was also related to him, and it was best to close the case by accident.

Relaxed, he quickly thought about the permission to build a tower, and in three days he would hand over the Harranside Manor with Lord Harran, and if he could build a mage tower in it, even if it wasn't now, it would be excellent.

It would be a safer refuge for him in Severton than in the Austro-French Federation, and a possible military support.

However, after many "listening", Xia Duo was disappointed to find that the content of these arcane mages was really limited, and he was limited to knowing that "no one can build a mage tower in Severton without the permission of the Seven Towers".

However, the news about the completion of the Sewenton Lost Lock just a few days ago surprised him, and before he knew it, Sevinton actually had a Lost Lock!

Xia Duo determined that during this year's snowmelt competition, that is, half a month ago, there was only the Grand Arena in the south of the new city, and a few areas in the old city were confused, but he didn't expect it to be completed so quickly.

And he didn't even notice it when he came to Severton this time!

Thinking like this, Xia Duo simply walked out of the Arcane Federation and came to the Arcane Square outside.

In the early morning, there were few pedestrians in Offa Square, but at the entrance of the Severant Assembly opposite, a group of dwarves gathered at some point, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Shado didn't bother to snoop too much about this, especially now that he was disguised as an illusion, he just walked casually along the edge of the square for a while, and then sat down on a stone bench next to a statue of an Arcanist.

The sun had risen at the moment, but the area where Xia Duo was located happened to be blocked by the tall stone buildings of the Austrian Federation.

The dividing line between light and shadow was not far from Xia Duo, and it was slowly moving towards him.

After losing his mind slightly, Xia Duo recalled the mistake of connecting to the magic net when he tried to make the Demon Slaying Arrow last night, and at the same time, he slowly adjusted his perspective in a state of concentration according to the principle of the [Eye of Ama Starkrinaz] spell taught by Master Byron.

Soon, the panorama of the macroscopic magic web above Severton came into view—grandiose, spectacular, and exquisite.

The rhythm full of order makes people see at a glance that it is very different from the macro magic net in the normal environment.

Chado's gaze looked eastward from the sky above the Place of Offa, and then to the north, to the west, and to the south, to make sure that the Locks had roughly covered the entire territory of Severten.

It's just that the lock is not as rumored to be in the Arcane Federation—it's finished!

At least there is one point, in Xia Duo's view, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and that is the "non-sense" optimization of the lost lock.

The general lock, even if it can't be completely hidden from a macro perspective, at least it won't be so obvious.

It is difficult for people who have no understanding of the Mystery Lock, even if they have a macro perspective of the magic web, to discover the existence of the Mystery Lock.

But if it's like the current Severton Mystery Lock, even a person who doesn't know much about the Mystery Lock, or even doesn't even know the concept of the Mystery Lock, can easily detect the abnormality of this region's macro magic net!

Although he didn't know what the cause of the anomaly was, it was obvious that an anomaly was an anomaly.

It's like if a whirlpool suddenly appears on the surface of the sea that is churning back and forth, and even a person who knows nothing about this phenomenon will be able to know that the whirlpool is not normal based on what he has known about the normal sea surface conditions.

Is this a fake finish? Or is the Seven Towers lacking in the construction of the puzzle lock, and regards the unfinished as completed?

In addition, although the locks are largely completed, they are not "isotropic" between regions, but are different.

Xia Duo wasn't sure if this was a deliberate arrangement of the Seven Towers or a technical limitation, but a normal elf lock needed to be "isotropical".

It's not that there is no focus, but any place can be the focus, and you only need to adjust the relevant permissions.

It's a bit like a computer screen, where the user can show whatever he wants to show anywhere on the screen.

This is the external manifestation, but the external manifestation is not the essence, its internal operation is the core.

Generally speaking, the "lost lock" refers to its function, not its essence, and the essence of the lost lock is a complex set of rules running on the magic web.

The function projected by the rules can naturally be "isotropic" on the "display screen" of [reality].

Combined with the previous lack of "non-sense" optimization, Xia Duo was more inclined to think that the Seven Towers' lost lock technology was limited, and adopted some kind of compromise solution.

This reminded him of the [Frontier Enchantment] in the [Projection Plane: Arcane Empire], although it is called "Frontier", it actually covers the entire territory.

The Border Barrier is a localized application of the Mystery Lock technology, and the existence of the Arcane Empire is due to the [Border Barrier].

Without borders, demons – effectively elves – can easily invade territory and launch unlimited sneak attacks.

It's just that. The Arcane Empire was eventually destroyed by the destruction of the Border Barrier.

Xia Duo still remembered the last image he saw when he left the projection plane, which was the scene of the entire territory being ravaged by the chaos demonic web.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Could it be that the main plane's Nessera will also develop to that point?
