Chapter 518: Aiming, a harbinger of war?

The opponent seemed to be telling his companions about the Nether Arcanist's situation, and even pointed out the Nether Arcanist who was fighting against Master Yerlan on the stage.
Only it seemed to be discussing something, the expression showed full confidence.
Looking at the high-level wizards of the elves, they looked inscrutable, and they couldn't see any strange expressions. On the contrary, some of the great arcane masters had clearly shown an angry face.
It just seemed to have thought of something and suppressed it again.
Soon, Netheril and Yerlan's end, Netherland won, but in the same way, the process of this victory was not easy.
Xia Duo touched Niya's arm and sighed: "Every time Netheril challenges first and accepts the challenge last. It is very unfavorable in its form, coupled with the deliberate targeting of Yerlan and Komanso, [Spell Confrontation] Netheril estimated it would be difficult to win this item."
"Yes!"
I don't know when, Niya's hands were already tense. When Xia Duo sighed, she couldn't help but sighed, full of doubts, "How could this year's snow melting competition become like this?"
As she said, she looked at Xia Duo nervously again, "Do you think there will be any accidents between [Magnificent Vision] and [Arcane Puzzle]?"
Although Niya's win or loss in the snowmelt competition has nothing to do with Niya, she is a member of Netheril after all. Although it is not clear what kind of interests are involved behind the snowmelt competition, she understands that it is not necessary for Comanso to forcefully join in. Just to win a game.
Although Xia Duo knew that there must be interests involved behind the snowmelt competition, he could not think of the magnitude of these interests. Therefore, his answer to Niya’s question is still conservative, "It is possible, but your teacher must have considered these long ago. Let's not worry and watch the game at ease."
Having said that, but in fact most of the meaning of comforting Niya, in fact, Xia Duo himself was a little uneasy, the case of the arcane empire's instantaneous destruction in the projection plane is still vivid, whether this situation is now a war What is the harbinger of?
There is a well-known "Thucydides trap" on the earth. It says that a newly rising power will inevitably challenge the existing powers, and the existing powers will inevitably respond to this threat. This makes war inevitable.
Although today’s Netheril can’t talk about the rise, in Xia Duo’s view, this trend already exists, and the elves are not fools. You can develop for nothing, even if you don’t engage in direct wars, there will definitely be considerable The degree of suppression and penetration cannot be indifferent.
Perhaps now it has reached a critical time point.
Xia Duo did not have a God's perspective and could not understand all the details, but judging from the current information, the possibility of war was not small.
...
The first event of the snowmelt competition [spell showdown], there are 10 people from each of the three parties, each of which only compares two games, a total of 30 games, this first day only finished ten games, until the afternoon, El Carmon announced today early The game is over and will continue tomorrow.
On the way back, Xia Duo recalled the ten games just now. Of course, to exclude the three fake games between the elves, there were actually only seven games.
As the number of attendees increases, many situations become more apparent.
For example, when the elves deal with humans, they will always try to attract human arcanists to unfold the arcane fire, and then harm the arcane fire; for example, certain spellcasting habits of the wizards of Yerlan and Komanso, etc.
In terms of spell knowledge, Xia Duo was not disappointed either. Although there were many elements beyond the magic net level that he could see, what he could see was also very precious.
If it were not in an arcane competition, which arcanist would be willing to show him so generously?
While walking, Xia Duo discussed with Niya just saw the details of the spell. When passing by the Great Master Greta’s tavern, Xia Duo suddenly felt a little hungry, so he asked Niya to walk into this, which was more like academic Sharon’s tavern.
This time Xia Duo took the initiative to order food. While waiting for the food to arrive, Xia Duo heard that the mage on the table next to him was discussing the snow melting competition. The other party did not use a soundproof barrier. Of course, the sound was not too loud.
"Have you heard? In this snowmelt competition, Yerlan has joined Comanso against us!"
"No, isn't the relationship between Yerlan and us humans always good?"
"Your news is outdated. At the beginning of the year, Ambassador Yerlan made a noise in the Sevinton parliament. If the relationship is really good, how could such a thing be done?"
"Really?"
"Of course, the father of a friend of mine is a lord. He attended the meeting of lords on behalf of his father and saw it with his own eyes!"
"Ugh--"
...
As he was listening, the waiter brought Xia Duo's order of food, and he easily displayed the soundproof barrier, and then while eating, he talked with Niya in a low voice.
"Look, many people now know that Netheril and Yerlan have broken up. I really don't know what will happen next!"
"The presence of the teacher shouldn’t affect us~EbookFREE.me~ Niya’s tone is not very sure. Today in the arena, the teacher was indifferent to the elf’s obvious counterfeit match, and she didn’t know whether the teacher could Sheltered her.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered the great ancestor of the alien plane who was about to return, the great arcanist Saville. If the great ancestor was there, she must be able to shelter her.
It's just that the plane exploration array of the Tower of Time, as the time and space beacon guiding the return of the great ancestor, has been activated for more than half a year, but why has the great ancestor not returned?
Niya was unwilling to go to the worst result. Now all she can do is wait. She is a little arcanist who can do very little when it comes to the fate of the nations.
Such a serious topic is not suitable for discussion during dinner. The atmosphere became a little dull. Xia Duo quickly changed the subject and said, "Wait and I will go to the port."
"Harbor? Are you a paraphrase?"
"Well, I'm going to make my own spell book. If there is a ready-made book for reference, it will be easier. You haven't made your spell book. If you gain something this time, it will be half of yours."
"No, if you can really get the spell book, don't give it to me." Niya suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Xia Duo was a little strange, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to study it?"
"Sorry, Xia Duo, although I didn't make a spell book, my father left his spell book to me before entering the stagnation room. The supplementary lesson ordered by the teacher has not yet been completed. I have no time to make another one in a short time. A spell book."
"..."
Xia Duo's mouth opened slightly, but he didn't say anything. What else could he say? He has nothing to say.
Well, Xia Duo is actually jealous.
...
