Chapter 590: Thucydides trap, opponents

Even if Xia Duo is an ordinary person, it is possible to see these things happen in his lifetime. This is also the war crisis he has been worried about, the kind of destruction that he has experienced in [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire] , Still resurfaced in his mind from time to time.
Although the main reason for the complete destruction of the whole realm is probably because the elves controlled the border barriers of the Arcane Empire, it is undeniable that the elves do have very powerful power.
At least Komanzo in the projection plane, under the pressure of more than forty arcanists in the Arcane Empire, although he has gradually become weak, he can still remain indestructible, and even finally grabs the border barrier of the Arcane Empire. The loopholes were turned over.
It is speculated that the main plane of Comanso is likely to have such strength.
If a developing country wants to rise, it will inevitably touch the interests of the existing powers. Sometimes just its own existence may trigger hostility or even killing intent.
It is so difficult to want a peaceful rise.
...
Xia Duo let out a long sigh and stretched out his hand to remove the fireball ring that was floating on the alchemy platform. He kept playing with this small ring and watching it carefully.
Only from the appearance, the main body of this ring is silver. After all, the packaging material is silver. And because a little bit of fine gold is added to support the strength of the ring, facing the light source, you can faintly see a touch of the ring. Blu-ray.
As for the ring face, it is a seemingly ordinary ruby. This main energy core can indeed be encapsulated with packaging materials, but because the ruby ​​is too large, it is not very beautiful. Xia Duo chose to make it visible. Formed a ring face.
The other energy cores are completely hidden in the body of the ring, including the Mithril components.
In terms of appearance, Xia Duo did not design too much. On the one hand, he did not want to make so many bells and whistles. On the other hand, it was also because of his lack of plastic art.
Therefore, this is a simple, unpretentious gem ring.
In the magic vision, this ring is continuously emitting a slight blue light, within a certain range, any caster can easily find it.
Of course, it is also possible to hide magical auras, but few people do that, because this will increase the complexity of the magical items themselves, and the difficulty of making them rises a lot, but it does not have much effect. It just hides the magical auras. .
None of the magical items currently owned by Chateau hides the magical aura, and this fireball ring is only for collection, and there is no need to hide the magical aura.
After playing with it, Xia Duo put away the ring and did not try to use it. He felt that he would never use this thing in his life, and perhaps he could use it as a prize in an arcane competition in the future.
Thinking about this, Xia Duo closed the alchemy circle, and then left the workshop, and walked along the circular corridor on the public floor to another room.
This is a small reception room. Just when he was checking the fireball ring, he received a message from Cecily that the appointed time had arrived.
Xia Duo realized that the time had come to the afternoon, and Cecily had been waiting for a while, and when he entered the reception room, Cecily was holding a thick volume, constantly searching.
cough--
Xia Duo coughed and awakened Cecily. Cecily quickly closed the volume, put it aside, got up and saluted, Xia Duo waved her hand, motioned her to sit down and talk, and then said:
"I asked you to come here this time mainly for tomorrow's Tower of Time group meeting. What do you think of the transformation of the Tower of Time? Has Niya talked to you about this topic?"
He knew that Cecily and Niya had a good relationship, and that they were Niya's butler, and there was no need to circumscribe many things, so he asked directly.
Hearing this question, Cecily's face turned straight, "Master Xia Duo, Niya just talked to me not long ago, but I think this plan is a bit too intense, and the consumption of materials is also very huge. The Tower of Time just To get rid of the raw material crisis, I don’t think it’s the best time for transformation, and there is resistance from tradition. I think it’s better to postpone the implementation of this matter.

The first time I heard the objections in person, Xia Duo felt very uncomfortable. Even Cecily opposed him, let alone other people. Probably only members of the Academy and other wizards who can benefit from it. Will support him.
Xia Duo believed that if he insisted on his own way, Cecily might obey orders, but it would lose the heart, and other wizards would not be able to escape.
After all, the most significant part of the transformation is to change the contract. If Xia Duo unilaterally wants to change the contract, others can leave if they disagree.
This is the tradition of the mage tower.
And in Xia Duo's hometown, there is also the saying "If you have a past, you will admonish, and if you repeat it and don't listen, you will go."
Of course, on the other hand, once the contract is reached, if one party fails to fulfill the agreement, the other party can initiate a countermeasure, but the strength of the wizard tower is not equal to that of the individual.
Usually the individual mage breaches the contract and the mage tower will pursue it; if the true mage tower breaches the contract, the individual mage can probably only leave.
Currently ~EbookFREE.me~ The Tower of Time is still inseparable from the existing mages, but Xia Duo has plans to gradually cultivate a reserve force, but this takes time, but time is what Xia Duo lacks most.
Seeing Cecily's steadfast eyes, Xia Duo knew that it would be difficult for her to persuade her. If he forced it to the group meeting tomorrow, it might be the beginning of the split and decline of the Tower of Time.
After thinking about it, people still have to succumb to reality after all, even a great arcanist can't do what he wants, let alone such a small new arcanist!
However, this does not mean that Xia Duo gave up his plan. The plan still has to be implemented, but it needs to be a little bit more euphemistic, and the resource consumption should be less. Moreover, the original plan is for the official wizard, especially the part for the middle-level wizard The implementation can be postponed.
Then, Xia Duo and Cecily discussed the specific implementation plan. With such a time tower material director giving feedback in real time, Xia Duo quickly adjusted a new plan.
At least in Cecily's view, it was barely acceptable.
Seeing some unrecognizable transformation plans, Xia Duo sighed in his heart, but he knew that if he didn't do this, he might not even have the opportunity to transform.
It is not unacceptable to save the country by curve.
He believes that as long as the first step is taken, the power of progress will continue to flow, and any obstacle can only be like a castle built of sand that will collapse when it is washed by the sea.
...
After the plan was negotiated, Xia Duo probably knew in his heart, and was fully confident about the next interview. He asked Taring about the current time, and there was still some time before the appointment time between him and the next one, so he asked by the way. The situation of Sandur:
"Cecilia, what kind of person do you think Sandur is?"
