The Arcane Empire, with a population of nearly ten million, was destroyed in the blink of an eye. Even if some people could escape, it would be difficult to grow to this scale in the end.
Pity!
If Xia Duo was a great arcanist, maybe he would still have the heart to stay and play guerrilla warfare with the elves, but now this approach of almost clearing the field made him directly out of the game.
It's not just him who is eliminated, there are nearly ten million lives, and perhaps the only one who can survive is the arcanist.
Xia Duo was shocked by the cruelty of the race war. He had a creepy feeling when he thought that the main plane could come to him for such a sudden time. If the projection plane was in trouble, he could return to the main plane. If the main plane was in trouble, where could he run to? Going?
…
When his consciousness returned to his body, Xia Duo felt deeply tired and a little unfamiliar with his body, mixed with an indelible sense of familiarity, which made him feel a little awkward.
Fighting back his fatigue and sleepiness, Sha Duo contacted Talling again and asked about the situation in that projection plane.
"Agent Xia Duo, the projection plane numbered 004 still exists——, and now it has disappeared——"
Hearing that the projection plane disappeared, Xia Duo felt a little disappointed. After all, that was the place where he had lived for more than a year. Soon he became uncontrollably sleepy, and Xia Duo ignored his emotions and asked the tower spirit to teleport him to his residence, then he fell down and fell asleep.
…
After waking up again, Xia Duo put on the [Crimson Protection Robe]. The projection just now was in a highly ordered country, so it was useless for him to prepare magic items in advance.
As for bringing back magic items from the Arcane Empire, Sha Duo's free space has been reduced by half due to the [Blade of Veto]. Before he finds a way to expand the space, he will not consider bringing things back from the projection plane.
Of course, except knowledge and experience.
This return was not in Sha Duo's plan, so when he was in the projection plane, he was not familiar with the regular arrangements and plans before projection and after return.
However, Xia Duo had already made preparations, and there were many relevant records. This was what he was doing before he knew there was a projection plane. At first, he just made some simple short-term plans.
Later, when he learned about the projection plane and the random space, Xia Duo could do more, including short-term planning, long-term planning, occasional inspiration, and the preparation process in order to escape from the influence of the projection plane as soon as possible. arrange.
Of course, he is a serious person and can't memorize or write. Such as introspection, inner analysis, etc., he usually puts it before going to bed, and only does it in his heart, and does not write down the words.
After reading the records, Xia Duo gradually adjusted the time difference caused by the projection, and he knew what he was going to do next.
Niya had previously summoned him to be careful of the Hawk Territory, and Doleson had accused him of catching Aquilaine at the lords' meeting. Although the issue was temporarily shelved at the meeting, it became even more troublesome to deal with later.
Originally it was just a private matter between the two families, but when it was brought up to the meeting of lords, the conflict became clear. Coupled with the influence of the elves, Xia Duo had a headache.
When he was in the projection plane, Xia Duo considered this problem, but because no one communicated with him, he later put it aside. Now that he has returned to the main plane, he cannot escape from this problem. This problem must be solved as soon as possible.
Whether it is to kill it directly, hand it over to the princess, throw it to the Arcane Federation, or even make a deal with the Hawk collar, it must be solved.
But before that, Shado still had one thing to do. In fact, he had always been interested in Aquiline, especially a spell that the other party mastered.
Able to detect the occurrence of teleportation and delay the result of teleportation!
Detecting teleportation is not unusual. Xia Duo can also detect teleportation, but when he detects the teleportation, it is also when the teleportation ends. The key lies in delaying the teleportation.
After Aquilaine was captured, his belongings were naturally seized by Shado. However, Aquiline's belongings did not have items that could detect teleportation or delay teleportation, so there was a high probability that they were spells.
Xia Duo also asked the other party, but since the other party was arrested, he experienced angry abuse at the beginning, and then became completely silent. After all, who would give benefits to the enemy!
During this projection trip to the Arcane Empire, Sha Duo learned the Judgment Spell, which is best suited to deal with this situation.
…
Tower of Time, negative one.
From the perspective of self-perception, Xia Duo has not been here for a long time. Currently, only one Aquilaine is imprisoned on the entire negative level, which is considered to be an excellent treatment.
Outside the prison cell, Xia Duo looked at the motionless Aquilaine, and with a thought in his heart, he called out to the tower spirit, "Ta spirit, release him from his imprisonment!"
Originally, Aquilaine was imprisoned in the stasis chamber. The confinement standards there were much higher than here, and the imprisoned people were almost insensitive. This obviously did not fit with Chateau's psychology.
It is very convenient to release the imprisonment, but even if the imprisonment is released, Aquilaine cannot move around at will, let alone cast spells at any time. There are many restrictions in the prison.
Silently watching Aquilaine moving her hands and feet, Shado didn't want to waste time and asked as usual, "Are you willing to speak now?"
He only responded with silence. Xia Duo was not annoyed. It would have been impossible for him to explain so easily. Even the more the enemy wanted to know, the less likely he was to explain.
But this time, he came well prepared, "Did you know? The Hawk Territory has been expelled from the Sevington Council for colluding with the elves, and Lord Doleson was killed on the spot."
This is of course a lie to Aquilaine. Judgment magic has been developed in the Arcane Empire for many years. It is not just a magic book, but more like a comprehensive subject that combines sociology, psychology, and criminal investigation.
While saying this, Xia Duo used [Shock] to amplify the sensitivity of the mind to facilitate further casting.
After hearing Sha Duo's description, Aquilaine actually reacted, with despair in his eyes, and he even cursed, completely losing the grace of a spell caster.
Just at this moment, [Instruction] and [Inquiry] appeared one after another, and Aquilaine was attacked without any resistance.
"Tell me! How to detect teleportation and delay it?"
This time Aquilaine was no longer silent and answered happily, and Xia Duo listened happily. However, describing spells in words was very cumbersome. After repeated questioning and reexamination from multiple angles, he put away his notes. , left with satisfaction.
Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to ask Taling to imprison Aquiline again.
…
After returning to his residence, Xia Duo went directly into the spell laboratory. While analyzing and sorting out this new spell that he had named [Transmission Delay], he also tried to decompose the elemental units for further practice.
For a time, Xia Duo left all the chores in the outside world behind and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the research of this new spell.
