Chapter 451: Sage inheritance

Although the Arcane Empire is called an empire, there is no emperor or king. The highest ruler is called the "Great Sage", and this "Great Sage" is also very interesting.
Let Xia Duo think of a way to select soul boys in his hometown. The so-called "great sage" does not rely on magical attainments or military achievements. The empire has a special department to find great sages.
The specific method is not in the memory of the "Eddie" projected by Xia Duo. He only knows that the Great Sage does not specifically refer to a certain person, but there are many.
But every great sage will actively guide the empire on magic, seek benefits, and plan for the future. The Arcane Empire has been established for nearly a thousand years. There have been turbulences during this period, but it finally proved the long-term vision of the great sage and established the current great sage. Succession system.
How to determine the next generation of great sages is known only by contemporary great sages. Including "Eddie", I don’t know how many people have ever imagined that one day someone from the Imperial Preparatory Sage’s Selection Department will come and become a great sage. Sage candidates.
However, all those who had this idea failed in the end, because no one knew what the selection department used to find people, let alone how the great sage would choose.
Only the Great Sage knows that the other party is the Great Sage.
Although many people claim to be great sages in an attempt to pass the test, most of them can't even pass the test of choosing the record division, let alone face to face with the real great sages.
Some people speculate that there is only one person from the beginning to the end of the great sage, and the so-called selection is a trick played by the great sage, but this argument is difficult to hold.
After all, with such a big empire, countless mages accompanied to play the inheritance game, even the great sage might not have such a big face.
...
After leaving the graduation ceremony venue, Xia Duo walked toward the library while searching for useful information from "Eddie"'s memory. The inheritance system of the Great Sage looked like a conspiracy.
A normal country using this imaginary method to select heirs and leaders is a bit too trifling. No matter how much the great sages have made in history, this kind of uncertainty selection method is really against a normal country. Normal rationality.
There should be key information that he doesn't know, because this system can be recognized by a large number of arcanists, and it must be reasonable, but I don't know where it is reasonable.
At the same time, Xia Duo also discovered that the characters used in this arcane empire turned out to be color-resistant characters, and even the magic system was basically the same. There were also arcanists and great arcanists.
It's just that there are no temples and no priests here. From the projection to the present, Xia Duo has not heard any words related to the Lord of Radiance. The most heard is actually a slogan. Almost everyone will shout a few things.
"Arcane is the highest."
Sure enough, it lives up to the name of the Arcane Empire. Perhaps this is a possibility on the main plane, but in the real main plane, history has not developed into the appearance of the Arcane Empire.
He really can't wait to understand everything about the empire now.
...
Not many people came to the library, only a few people.
For this phenomenon, Xia Duo also understands that "Eddie" remembers it very clearly, because the school provides textbooks, experimental sites, experimental equipment, and teachers to teach, and students rely very little on the library.
Even in the memory of "Eddie", he visited the library twice in the past four years, once when he first came, and once when he came to search for information about the Great Sage.
Since "Eddie" was already a graduate at the moment, Xia Duo was told by the administrator that this was the last time he had entered the library. After today, he can only apply in advance.
According to the reminder in "Memory", when Xia Duo came to the historical part, the first thing that came into view was the "General History of the Empire" on a row of bookshelves. He took a copy and turned it over. The handwriting was fine and neat. It should be in batches. Chemically manufactured.
He only flipped through one book, and his interest was greatly diminished. He didn't know when to see the entire row of bookshelves. He could only search the catalog first, focusing on the origin of the empire.
Fortunately, the book editors here are very similar to those on the earth. Soon, Xia Duo found his goal
"The Second Volume of the General History of the Empire·Seventon Alliance"!
"It turned out to be Netheril!"
No, it should be the colleague of Netheril of the main plane on the astral projection plane!
If this is the case, then the so-called "demon" is really likely to be an elf!
Xia Duo quickly searched, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and closed the book with a "pop", "So that's it!"
There is no comment on history in the book, it is just a record, and in a very neutral tone, there is a feeling of letting future generations comment on merits and demerits.
The Seventon Alliance is indeed true. It was an alliance of villages and towns initiated by a man named Nause. However, after Nause wanted to engage in dictatorship, the great sage directed the villages to reunite and overthrew Nause’s rule.
Under the leadership of the great sage, the newly born Sevinton alliance thrived, and later the second generation of great sages appeared, who taught the people magic and led the people to expand their land.
After that, the great sages were like rain, wave after wave, and there was even a period of several great sages, until the Sevinton Alliance reached its peak, which was the establishment of the Arcane Empire.
Although it was a very simple text, Xia Duo could feel the magnificent history described between the lines, but at the same time, he also found something awkward.
Regardless of where the great sages came from, the great sages who teach magic alone are very suspicious ~EbookFREE.me~ The color-resistant magic system of the main plane is through research [ Color Resistance Scroll].
The researcher himself is already a mage, but he learned wizard magic before.
But on this projection plane, the great sage who didn't have any extraordinary power at the beginning said that he would teach it. The reality of this magic is too abrupt, and even [Color Resistant Scroll] or similar items have not appeared.
Still, the [Color-resistant Scroll] has been discovered and has been monopolized by the Great Sage. This possibility is extremely small. Xia Duo has a bolder idea
Perhaps the so-called great sages are just like him, projected from the main plane, and they are organized and premeditated collective projections.
Once this person had doubts, he put on a layer of colored glasses for everything, and re-examined the process of the generation of the great sage. Xia Duo realized that he was not in the "big sage state" now!
If the contemporary great sage of the Arcane Empire is a member of the Tower of Time, he can confirm each other's identities by exchanging some information on the main plane with him in the past.
The so-called confirmation is really a question of one or two sentences.
But at the same time, there is another problem. The Great Sage obviously cannot be projected entirely by the Great Arcanist on the main plane. If this is done, how can there be so much life span to consume.
Besides, the existence of the projection plane is extremely short, how could it be possible to suddenly organize so many great arcanists to play astral projection together.
The Arcane Empire has great Arcanists. How can they accept the leadership of a group of so-called "Great Sages" who are obviously inferior to them?
Is it because the empire is well educated, is it historical inertia, or is there any hidden relationship?
Of course, it is also possible that Xia Duo was wrong. The so-called Great Sage is really a feature of the projection plane, a special existence.
