Chapter 1388 Drow Crisis, Consider Recruiting New People
At this moment, Xia Duo was holding a box containing hundreds of thousands of arcane crystals in his hands, just like he was holding hundreds of thousands of standard 10-level spells for measurement.
Even the incomplete Myser energy core can be so productive, so what kind of power should all the perfected Myser energy cores have!
At this moment, Sha Duo could not wait to start arranging the production workshop immediately so that Iolum could experiment as much as he wanted, but at the moment, there were still some small things that he needed to deal with first——
Iolum has decided to use his plan and handed over the entire laboratory to him, but before that, he needs to dismantle a small part of the arcane fire device that has been built in the laboratory, so as to The next lab renovation will free up space.
Before leaving Iolum's study, Shado then asked, "What's the current situation in the Northland?"
"After the establishment of the Northland Alliance, the countries are temporarily in peace, but the situation underground is not good. The news I have received so far is that the drow demon army has taken shape, and it is very powerful! Far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Danzo can only rely on various war weapons and passive defense, and the few active attacks are not very effective. Without the assistance of the alliance countries, Danzo may have perished by now. "
"Is it that bad?"
Xia Duo's heart tightened, he stopped, and continued to ask: "Last time in Everesca, didn't the alliance discuss opening up a second battlefield? Is there any news now?"
"The second battlefield has been opened, but currently all kinds of war materials and equipment are in short supply. They need to be supplied to Danzo's side first. Amarinda's second battlefield is currently focused on harassment, and the battle situation is relatively stable."
After saying that, Iolum let out a long sigh, pointed to the box in Shado's hand, and said: "I am so anxious to complete the arcane fire device now. In addition to the intuitive sense of crisis, the main reason is that I want to be in the world." The drow gain a decisive power before breaking out of the earth."
"Teacher, are you so pessimistic? Do you think Danzo can't hold on?"
"It's not a question of whether Danzo can hold it or not, but a question of when the drow will break out of the surface. Do you remember the ley line detector you sent to Severton before? The drow had already sent out scouts to find the weak points of the ley lines. , do you believe that they found nothing?”
"I don't believe it." Xia Duo shook his head.
If he could find a drow assassin in the southern border, there would definitely be more assassins elsewhere. He had heard before that the Arcane Federation had also captured several drow.
Iolum must know more detailed information, maybe even the weak points of the earth's veins near Severton!
"That's it. After mastering the weak points of the earth's veins, they can open a passage to the surface at any time. It is only a matter of time before they break out of the surface. The current Netheril can never resist the drow's demon army. Once the drow appear on Within Nese, it will be an unprecedented horrific disaster.”
Iolum sighed again. In the past, he had been entangled with the orc tribes in the territory of Nese for nearly a hundred years. In the end, he relied on the high mobility of the mage to continuously bleed those large tribes, and finally won the final victory.
But he would rather fight the orcs for another hundred years than see the drow in Nese.
It's not a matter of fear or not, but the war will inevitably interrupt Netheril's rising development momentum. If Cormanthor next to it does something worse, it is not impossible for the country to be destroyed.
…
After leaving Iolum's study, Shado felt a little heavy. It seemed that the Northland Alliance was established, and all the countries unanimously supported Danzo, but in fact, the flames of war could burn around him at any time.
Who knows when the drow will no longer want to fight against Danzo. It would be too troublesome to open underground passages everywhere.
Sha Duo remembered that he had issued a mission in the Tower of Time before, asking members of the Tower of Time to take his self-made earth vein detector to check the geological conditions near the Bactria Territory and Savile Territory.
When a weak point in the ley line is detected, the ley line detector will sound an alarm.
So far, there is no news from the Tower of Time Mission Management Office. It seems that this is the best news!
"Drow, drow!"
Sha Duo has always regarded the elves as future competitors or even enemies, but he has somewhat ignored the drow who are already in front of him.
But it is not too late to wake up now. Although he will not go to the Dark Territory to fight the drow personally, it is still necessary to provide some assistance within his ability in the rear.
Just like [Demon-Slaying Arrow] and [Demon-Slaying Amulet]!
Shado just heard Iolum mention that the [Demon-Slaying Talisman] is the most indispensable consumable in the underground war. Without the [Demon-Slaying Talisman], Danzo's defensive front will collapse immediately.
Demons are born with a terrifying aura that can overwhelm people's will. If you want to face a demon directly, you must offset that terrifying aura. Otherwise, you will be scared to the point of pissing yourself before the fight begins. How can you still fight?
As for the demon-slaying arrows, in the current underground war, they are mainly used to assassinate the demon summoners of drow. Once the summoner dies, the demons under his command are left unchecked and will almost certainly fight madly with other demons or drow.
It can be said that no matter how many demons are killed on the frontal battlefield, as long as the summoner does not die, he can continue to summon them later and kill them endlessly.
Only by killing the summoner can the drow's war potential be truly reduced.
Therefore, [Demon-Slaying Arrow] can be regarded as an urgently needed material second only to [Demon-Slaying Amulet].
…
Back in the laboratory, Xia Duo was not busy dismantling the arcane fire device. Instead, he contacted Niya first and asked about the production status of the [Demon Slayer Talisman] production line in the Magic Technology Department.
"We're all doing it according to your previous arrangements. What's wrong? Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"I got news here that the war situation in the Underdark Region may not be good. The Demon-Slaying Amulet is an essential material for the war. I think it is necessary to open another production line."
In addition to selling the demon-slaying talismans produced to Lord Harlan or others, you can also keep part of them for your own use. If the drow hit the surface one day, this will be a proper strategic reserve.
Of course, it still is.
Naturally, Niya would not refuse Xia Duo's proposal, but she also raised a very critical question: "There are only a few of us high-level mages in the Tower of Time. If we open another production line for demon-slaying amulets, we will not be able to do so." So much personal time!”
The Demon-Slaying Talisman comes with a 5-level spell. Even if the process is split, a high-level mage is indispensable to link the elements involved in the fifth layer of the Demon Web.
Currently, the only people in the Tower of Time who can do this kind of work are Sha Duo, Niya, Ai Burke and De Parker. Xia Duo is now in Severington, Nia wants to study the communication mystery lock, and Ai Burke wants to study divine magic. Conversion, only Depak had slightly more time.
But you can't always catch someone else to do the harvesting. If it delays the opponent's advancement of the arcanist, it's somewhat uneconomical.
Xia Duo realized that the Tower of Time was not short of the most junior apprentices, nor was it short of the great arcanists who carried the pillars above, but it was short of the middle and most backbone high-level mages!
There are not enough high-level mages, and there are too many projects that cannot be launched. If you wait until the apprentices are promoted, you will have to wait again.
"Perhaps we can collect some wild high-level mages in Severton?"
