After all, Xia Duo did not pass Ogus's invitation. At noon the next day, Ogus visited in person again, and he felt a little like visiting the thatched cottage.
It's just that Xia Duo is not Zhuge Liang. It can be said that the two of them just hit it off, and there is no need to waste any more words today, the signing is done.
Yunding Tower.
With Ogus's introduction, Shado formally met the other ten members of the Everesca Council of Elders, including Katnidt, who was in charge of diplomatic affairs and whom Ogus had mentioned several times last night.
Of course, there is also Elder Sergis who is actually more valued by Shado. Now Sergis is responsible for the construction task of the Everriska Mystery Lock.
In addition to these two people who had heard about it for a long time, Sha Duo also looked familiar to several other members of the Council of Elders. However, some of these eleven high mages were obviously disguised and even only called by code names.
For example, the elder in charge of intelligence is only referred to as "Eye of Terror" in Ogos's introduction. There is also an elder who cooperates with Ogos in charge of war and combat matters and is called "Iron Fist Russ". .
"Mage Athos, please confirm the content of the covenant. If there is no problem, we can start the covenant ceremony."
The person who spoke was Sergis, who was responsible for the construction of the Mystery Lock in the Council of Elders. Shado took the golden rune paper filled with the contents of the covenant from him and checked it carefully to confirm that it was no different from what Ogus introduced yesterday.
In fact, Xia Duo will also participate in the ritual casting process. As long as the other party is not stupid, he will not make any mistakes on this issue.
After handing the rune paper back, Xia Duo nodded seriously and said meaningfully, "We will be companions from now on!"
"The Sword Comes"
"Welcome new companions!"
Ogus took advantage of being the first to come into contact with Sha Duo, and immediately enthusiastically took Sha Duo's hand to the prepared ceremony venue.
It's on the second floor of Yunding Tower - counting from the top, this floor is an open space with only a few pillars around to support the Yunguan Palace above.
This style of design has never been seen in Everescasado on the main plane. Perhaps the style has changed with the passage of time, or it may simply be the difference between the projection plane and the main plane.
Looking around from this level, it was almost at the same level as the tops of the mountains in the distance. But in fact, Xia Duo knew that the height of the Yunding Tower, even if the height of the platform where Everriska was added, was probably not as high as up the surrounding mountains.
But in the open field of view, there is indeed such an illusion. It is hard to tell whether it is caused by the architectural effect or the magic.
After standing on the base of the magic circle that was made in advance, Shado was first led by Ogus to familiarize himself with the spell-casting process, and then officially cast the spell soon after.
He guessed that the other party might also be testing him in this way.
If he was not a real high mage, but an ordinary spellcaster who imitated the realm of a high mage through props, the secret might have been exposed by now.
But Xia Duo will not.
Although he himself is not a high mage, this incarnation of Schilling is magical enough to make him a true high mage, of course only under this incarnation.
If he returns to the main plane, Sha Duo is not sure whether using Xilin's incarnation on a human body will have the same effect. If so, then this trip to the projection plane will be a big profit.
As the spell casting began, the magic network around the Yunding Tower was quickly gathered, and its center was the second floor where Xia Duo was located.
A large number of magic network strings gathered together, even triggering elemental phenomena. A large number of looming and unpredictable mysterious runes that could be seen with the naked eye appeared in the second layer of space and even around the entire Yunding Tower.
That was the redundant data leakage caused by the Magic Network's efficient and automatic response. In other words, the Magic Network was too enthusiastic and did a lot of useless work.
To be honest, Sha Duo had never seen such a scene when he was in the main plane, but such redundant data would not have any adverse impact on their ritual spells.
Instead, they will automatically correct errors when they may make mistakes. This is no longer simply "harmony between heaven and man", it is simply "replacing heaven's heart with my heart."
In this trip to the projection plane, aside from the several goals in the plan, Sha Duo's biggest gain was to experience the spellcasting environment of the high elf mage from a first-person perspective, as well as the redundant magic network at the ritual spell site. residual response phenomenon.
This greatly changed Shado's judgment on the upper limit of the elf mage's spellcasting ability.
Of course, if Xilin's incarnation is still effective on the main plane, it can even be said to be much more important than the goals in the plan.
The projection plane is not unique. If the clues such as the Nese Scroll and the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll are certain, you can definitely look for them next time and you will always be able to find them.
The floating city's mysterious lock is nothing more than a matter of time.
But Xilin's incarnation, a spell specifically tailored for private individuals, is not guaranteed. If you miss it this time, you may never encounter it again.
…
On the second floor of the Yunding Tower, as the casting process continues to progress, the mysterious runes looming in the space have become substantial, almost the embodiment of the continuously vibrating strings of the magic network.
If it is just a little redundant, it can be explained by the particularity of the high mage's spellcasting. Such a lot of redundancy actually exceeds the elements required for the ritual spell itself. It is difficult to explain it by any particularity.
There is only one possibility——
It was deliberately designed by Ogos and other elves, probably to announce to the outside world that Evereska has the support of a high mage.
Otherwise, it is just a covenant ceremony that does not require such a big scene.
Shado can already imagine all the discussions going on in Evereska City at this moment. The Yunding Tower is almost the tallest building in Everesca City, and it is actually built on a low hill on the platform.
It can be said that as long as you are a resident of Evereska, you can see the Yunding Tower as long as you raise your head. As for the current ritual vision, it is as if it is forced into the eyes of the elves in the city, and it is impossible not to pay attention.
"Sigh - actually I would rather keep a low profile!"
The ceremony went smoothly without any setbacks, and the expected enemy attack was out of the question. It was just a simple covenant ceremony, and there was no need for eleven high mages to cast spells at the same time.
Including Xia Duo, all participants have absolute control over the process of the ceremony. If an enemy really attacks, the physical manifestation of the magic network strings around them will be the biggest surprise for the enemy.
After the ceremony was completed, the power of the spell was condensed into a crown and placed on Sha Duo's head. This was not only a symbol of status and power, but also a blessing of strength and a constraint of responsibility.
Xia Duo could choose to make the crown appear or disappear. There is no doubt that he chose to hide it. Although the other elders may be equal to the crown kings of other elven kingdoms in the future, at least they are not high-profile enough to hold the crown on their heads all day long.
In the future, when there is a distinction between high and low elders, the covenant crown will not be the norm, but will become a ceremonial decoration on important occasions.
