Arcane Lord

Hearing Princess Shia say that the secret lock has been completed, a joyful smile appeared on Badigal's face for a moment, but before he could say anything, his expression suddenly changed.

Not only Badigal, but also Princess Shia, who had just completed the secret lock on the hill, Horn, who was guarding the side, and even Hadrian, who had returned to the camp, all changed their faces.

Starting from the more than 20 nodes where the elves were originally locked, there was a continuous riot in the magic network. The intensity was getting higher and higher, and it had a tendency to spread to the entire plane.

"It's really hateful that Jelinis would leave such an incident behind!"

Even in front of Princess Shia, Badigal could not hide his inner anger and immediately cursed. From Netherese to Elvish, all kinds of embarrassing words rained out from his mouth.

Shia frowned. In fact, she herself was full of resentment towards Jelinis. Seeing that the lock had been completed, but something like this suddenly happened, everyone was filled with anger.

But after all, the two sides are considered enemies. Do we need to notify the enemy in advance of what methods he will use? I can only blame myself for not discovering it in advance. The most important thing now is not to be angry, but to make up for it as soon as possible.

With this thought in mind, Shia immediately communicated with the completed Mystery Lock [Traceless Barrier] and reopened the nodes that had been closed by the Mystery Lock.

Then she unfolded the arcane fire and linked the open chord of the magic network to the Mystery Lock node. Then the invisible influence spread instantly through this node to the entire Mystery Lock range, that is, the entire green field plane.

While stabilizing the mystery lock, Shia squeezed out a little attention and said to Horn and Badigal:

"Hurry up and take people to repair the magic network at the mysterious lock node that Jelinis set up before. I don't need you here anymore!"

"good!"

After hearing this, Horn didn't hesitate at all and immediately, and Badigal seemed to calm down after finishing the last sentence.

But he did not leave immediately. Instead, while applying warning and protective magic around the hill, he asked Princess Shia:

"Is there really no problem with you here? I'm worried that Jelinis will leave any other traps!"

"It's really no problem!"

Seeing that Badigal still didn't leave, Shia felt anxious, but she still explained patiently, "I ignored it before and should check it in advance. Even if those Mystery Nodes were destroyed, their impact on the Magic Network was not complete. Even if it disappears, it can still be used by elves!

"Hurry over there. Even if you can't completely repair the magic network at those nodes, at least stabilize it, otherwise I will be completely restricted here!"

When Badigal heard this, he heard another meaning in Shia's words——

If they cannot stabilize the magic network environment at the Elf Mystery Node in a short period of time, Shia may have to give up. It is impossible for her to limit herself to the green field plane and this nameless hill. .

Once Shia gives up, it will most likely be the collapse of the [Invisible Barrier], which will trigger a riot of magic network in the entire green field, and even the silence after the riot.

Although there will not be much damage to the plane itself, the initial investment in [Invisible Barrier], and even the cost of repairing the magic network and rebuilding the mystery lock in the later period, will be an extremely huge number.

In other words, if they cannot stabilize the magic network at the Elven Mystery Lock node, even if this plane still belongs to Gustav's Tower and Netheril, it will not be usable for a long time.

It's almost as if it's lost.

After understanding this, Badigal immediately teleported away without wasting any more time.

…

At the camp, Sha Duo, who had just been freed from the tense fighting atmosphere, was chatting softly and slowly with Niya while maintaining a spiritual link.

Suddenly, a series of alarms from outside the temporary residence interrupted the two people's tenderness. Immediately afterwards, Shado received a message from Archmage Fustum:

"Urgent mission, all arcanists come to the square!"

The Seven Towers knew the identity of Shado Arcanist, but Archmage Fulstrom's message was not specifically directed at him, but a message similar to a full-frequency broadcast with almost no restrictions.

This is easily determined from the messages received.

In addition to him, Niya also received it. The two looked at each other, with a trace of doubt and worry in their eyes.

"Go and take a look first!"

"Um!"

…

Soon, the two walked out of the residence. As soon as they came outside, Xia Duo immediately looked to the south. In the room just now, layers of protection and warning magic created a relatively calm magic network environment.

This comfortable and stable private environment also made his perception of the external magic network environment somewhat dull to a certain extent.

Walking outside at this time, Xia Duo clearly noticed that the magic network environment in many directions south of the camp was extremely active.

For other high-level mages, they may not see anything special about these directions.

But for Xia Duo, who had previously constructed a state diagram of the Green Field Plane by sharing information when mentally linking with other high-level mages, these directions were very sensitive!

It is clearly the direction of the more than twenty Elf Mystery Lock nodes!

The magic network environment here can be affected from such a distance, and there is an obvious abnormally active state. This shows that there is probably a riot at the location of the node!

On the way to the square, Shado met Anglin and four other arcanists. After a few brief conversations, everyone had some guesses about this so-called emergency mission.

The distance from the temporary residence to the portal is only more than a hundred meters. As for the square, in fact, after leaving the rows of simple stone buildings where the temporary residence is located, you can enter the square by walking a few steps.

At this time, Grand Arcanist Hadrian stood expressionlessly on the edge of the square waiting for everyone. When Shado and others arrived, his expression relaxed slightly:

"Let me briefly explain the mission situation. Before the elves left, they destroyed their unfinished mystery locks, causing damage to the magic network. The source was in the more than 20 mystery lock nodes. Now I need you to go to those locations with me to repair the magic network. net."

After saying that, Hadrian didn't wait for anyone to answer and directly ordered: "Come closer, I'm going to teleport!"

Upon hearing the transmission, Xia Duo's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Although he didn't know what happened to the unfinished Mystery Lock on the Green Field Plane when it was destroyed, there was a Mystery Lock ruins outside the Tower of Time.

In the environment of the magic network riot, even if you are walking normally, let alone teleportation, you may encounter unexpected events.

Even if there is a great arcanist accompanying him, it may not be safe, but no one else said anything, and Xia Duo couldn't do anything special. He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that nothing unexpected would happen!
