Chapter 1461: No Good Death, Recommend Candidates

I don't know how much time passed, but Xia Duo suddenly noticed that the light in the study seemed to have changed slightly. He was so sensitive that he immediately realized that Iolum was back.

Looking up, Iolum appeared at the door as expected, his face a little tired, as if the discussion just now consumed a lot of energy.

"Teacher, you are back!"

"Well, if you have anything you want to know, just ask. I happen to have something to do with you!"

When Iolum said this, Sha Duo couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and his intuition told him that the reason why Iolum was looking for him was also related to Akaula.

After thinking about it, he asked the question he had planned before: "I heard that King Akaola Mian has been unwell recently and may have an accident. Is this true?"

"it is true!"

Iolum gave an affirmative answer without hesitation, and then said: "This matter is quite difficult. The Akora envoy came in the hope of signing a mutual defense agreement with Netheril, but in fact he hoped to sign a mutual defense agreement with Netheril. We took action to treat his father, and yes, the envoy they came over this time was the son of King Mian! "

"Then what's wrong with the body of King Akora? Although Akora is now in decline, the basic foundation should still be there, right? Can't they solve it on their own?"

Akora was one of the first emerging countries after the end of the Crown War. It was much earlier than Jelensta, one of the components of Cormanthor. Of course, there were also countries such as Uviron and Sluvend during the same period. .

Among them, Uweilun has long been destroyed, and Sluvende is now a vassal state of Yeerlan.

Sruvind was able to fight to the death with Ye Erlan, but was besieged by Ye Erlan and Salvin at the same time, which led to its defeat, but it was not a complete defeat, otherwise it would not have a name now.

This is a bit like Germany on earth. After its defeat, it was not completely dismembered and digested by the victorious country. Instead, it was feared and suppressed by the victorious country at all times.

Akora was able to "occupy" a corner of the Listal Forest without being destroyed by Cormanthor during its rise, which somewhat shows that they have some background.

Sha Duo felt that it might be possible for Akora to seek external allies, but it would be impossible for humans to directly rescue their crowned king.

Putting aside the issue of whether it can be saved, King Akora Mian must not be confused about what it means to be saved by a human being.

It couldn't be that the so-called Mian Wang came here privately, right?

…

In response to Xia Duo's many questions, Iolum sighed, "Do you know what the Kelsike family, the Crown Prince family of Akora, has in Akora?"

Xia Duo really didn't know much about this. After all, Akora had been in a state of isolation before. It was only after the establishment of the Northland Alliance that the exchanges with the outside world increased.

So he asked curiously: "What reputation?"

"The golden corona of trouble!"

Then, Iolum further explained, “Since the Kelsek family has monopolized the position of crown king, almost every generation of its subsequent heirs has not had a happy death.

"Among the contemporary crown kings of Akora, only his mother was able to die a good death. The other crown kings in previous generations either died in high magic rituals, were murdered by political opponents, or died in drow wars.

"But for the contemporary King Akora, misfortune does not seem to have left. When he was young, he almost died due to a magic accident. That accident had a very serious consequence-increased aging!

"Strictly speaking, King Akaola's body is not damaged, but he is dying of old age!"

After saying this, Xia Duo understood that death is the inevitable ultimate fate of every life. If nothing else, King Akaola had already used various life-extending methods.

But even so, it would not survive the normal lifespan of an average elf.

It's really sad to think about it. Xia Duo is not yet in need of extending his life, but he will also encounter this problem one day in the future.

But at that time, would he be as "unselective" as King Akaola, or would he face his own death calmly?

Or will we eventually be able to achieve immortality as technology continues to advance?

Of course, King Akaola is not necessarily greedy for food. Maybe he just doesn't want to see his family property taken over by Cormanso, and wants to give his descendants a more secure environment before his death.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo almost understood the real intention of the Akora envoy's visit. "So the Akora elves are interested in the teacher's life-extending spell? There is even Master Congenio's?"

"Yes."

Iolum nodded and told another piece of news, "We were just discussing at Gustav Tower. In fact, Teacher Ain was also there. He did not refuse the elf messenger's request."

Ain is Congenio. Iolum studied with him for a period of time. Later, even if he became successful and even surpassed Congenio, he would still call him teacher on most occasions.

Iolum said this, and Sha Duo almost had some premonitions about what he had just said about him.

Sure enough, Iolum mentioned that matter next, "If nothing else happens, we will agree to Akaula's request. At that time, a trustworthy great arcanist will be needed to go to Akaula to crown their crown." The king cast a spell to extend life.

"But among the people I trust, almost everyone's itinerary has received widespread attention from the outside world. Before the matter is completely clear, it is necessary to act in secret, so I am ready to recommend you to the Seven Towers."

Sure enough!

Although there were some deviations from Xia Duo's guess, it was not too different. They all required him to make a trip to Akola. Xia Duo did not have any objection to this matter, but was vaguely looking forward to it.

After all, after this incident, he will appear in Netheril as the Grand Arcanist, and will become one of the "Fifteen Constants" on the surface of Netheril, becoming a very important figure.

However, this is a critical moment for the research and development of the independent arcane fire device. Let’s not talk about the delay in going out, which can be made up by working overtime anyway.

But if Comanso catches some clues about it, it will be more than worth the gain.

Xia Duo told Iolum about his worries. Iolum also frowned, as if hesitating, and said after a long time:

"Now is really not a good time to go out. I will ask the Seven Towers to provide anti-detection support."

After saying that, he seemed to regret it and added a few words of explanation:

"Actually, I don't want you to come forward in this matter. Akora has almost no contact with us before. Even now, we are not completely sure that there is no conspiracy here. You have to understand the risks hidden here! "
