Chapter 1898: Mythallar Complete

The facts were exactly as Xia Duo had anticipated; Yisite was won over by the Arcane Energy provided by Xia Duo and took the initiative to propose joining Xia Duo's research project on Arcane Infusion transformation.

And after Xia Duo indicated that he had not completely ruled out human experimentation, the last trace of hesitation in Yisite vanished, and the first collaboration began that very evening.

Because Xia Duo had been researching alone previously, he had not conducted very detailed studies on the rabbits subjected to Arcane Infusion transformation, merely confirming there were no fatal issues before considering it passed.

But now with two assistants, and even High Mage assistants more proficient in Transmutation spells, Xia Duo naturally assigned Yisite the task of quantitatively checking the various attributes of the experimental rabbits.

As for Dixipu, he followed his teacher to help out, and Xia Duo would call on him occasionally when needed.

Just like that, time flew by, and three months passed.

On this morning, Xia Duo left the manor for Yeman Valley as usual, only this time, his gait was light, and a smile appeared on his face from time to time.

Upon arriving at the Yeman Valley experimental base, Xia Duo discovered that all eleven High Mages of the Council of Elders had appeared without exception; such a grand display was naturally not for anything else, but because the Mythallar was complete.

In fact, the final test experiment last night had already passed completely, and Xia Duo had been excited for a long time upon receiving the news, as this meant the long-term efforts had finally borne fruit.

And today was the final comprehensive test; if this last test was also successfully completed, then what remained to be considered was the actual construction.

To ensure no accidents occurred during the final experiment, and to witness this important moment in future history, all members of the Council of Elders were present.

The final test experiment was conducted by the eight Elders who had participated in the test experiments from the Council of Elders, along with some members from the two project teams.

Xia Duo and Saijisi watched as usual; as the order to begin the test was given, everyone present subconsciously held their breath, and Xia Duo realized the atmosphere at this moment was not right, so he hurriedly called a halt to the experiment:

"Pause for a moment. Your state is not right, especially you, Ougesi. You haven't come to many previous tests and have limited grasp of the testing process, and you are so impatient this time; I suggest you had best withdraw from the test."

It is well known that Asuosi—that is, Xia Duo and Ougesi—had known each other the longest, and their relationship was second only to that with Saijisi, whom he spent every day with. Now that Xia Duo had so bluntly asked Ougesi to withdraw from the test, the other Elders were somewhat incredulous.

Ougesi himself was even more unable to accept it, "My state is excellent! I have never felt as good as I do now! Believe me, I can definitely do it."

"Regardless of whether you can or not, I suggest pausing for a moment. A comprehensive test is not like the previous adaptation tests; once an accident occurs, I fear it will delay quite a bit of time. The most troublesome thing is if it causes permanent changes to the surrounding Magic Net, then the Mythallar will have to be readjusted and retested, which will take even more time."

Wasting time was what Xia Duo could tolerate the least, especially meaningless waste. Seeing the Mythallar complete, he only needed to watch the construction process before he could return to the Main Plane.

If some accident really were to happen and delay things for several more months, he could not stand it.

In fact, now that he was close to leaving, he did not care much about the attitude of the Council of Elders. If it weren't for wanting to see the construction process and the fact that the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll had not yet been traded, he could leave right now.

As for Xia Duo's suggestion to pause the test, among the Elders present, apart from Ougesi's relatively strong reaction, the other Elders expressed acceptance; the only one who openly supported Xia Duo was Saijisi.

As one of the helmsmen of the entire New Mythallar project, Saijisi had an understanding of the New Mythallar that exceeded the other Elders, and at the same time, he hoped for a perfect conclusion to this project that had poured out his heart's blood.

"Then everyone, let's pause for a moment. I'll treat everyone to tea!"

Saijisi took out the last bit of fine Wuweilun oriental tea with a pained heart and brewed it for the Elders. After drinking the tea, everyone's mood calmed down, including Ougesi.

Thus, the test experiment continued.

Following the order to begin, the eight High Mages, twelve Senior Mages, and 168 Elite Mages began casting spells simultaneously.

For a time, the winds and clouds changed within Yeman Valley. Such a great commotion was something Xia Duo had not anticipated; he had originally thought the comprehensive test would be similar to the previous adaptation tests, and he had not expected such a large disturbance.

Just as he was about to call on Saijisi to cast spells together to cover it up, Katunidede, who had not participated in the test, stopped Xia Duo, "Now that the Mythallar is complete, it is time to give the outside world a hint. We only need to be careful to guard against the Demon Descendant causing trouble."

Once Katunidede said this, Xia Duo immediately understood. Evereska had already gained recognition from various nations and was on the verge of independence, but the specific time had never been determined, and there were actually doubts from the outside world, including within Evereska itself.

Now, by taking advantage of the birth of the New Mythallar, perhaps some of the outside world's doubts could be quelled. Additionally, it served as a reminder to the owners of the land and buildings involved in the Old Mythallar dismantling plan that it was time to make a decision.

Whether to support the Council of Elders' plan and take compensation, or to stubbornly resist to the end and be flattened.

Regarding the dismantling plan for the Evereska Old Mythallar, Xia Duo and Saijisi had long since created it; in the plan, many places within the city would be destroyed during the dismantling process.

And Andelie and Saian had also informed the public in various ways, both openly and covertly, on multiple occasions. Those still resisting now were basically harboring wishful thinking.

Either they felt the Council of Elders would eventually compromise, or they believed the destruction consequences mentioned in the dismantling plan were completely exaggerated.

Previously, the dismantling date for the Old Mythallar was left hanging, giving them an illusion that they could resist the Council of Elders. But now, with the appearance of the New Mythallar's omen, those guys who buried their heads in the sand could no longer find a way out.

If they were still unwilling to accept compensation, then they could only bear the consequences themselves.

The dismantling plan could not be changed. When the time came, they would just need to pull out all the living creatures in the target area, and after the dismantling was finished, put them back. Facing a ruin, they would know how precious the previous compensation had been.

Of course, by Xia Duo's judgment, even if the Council of Elders forcibly demolished it, they would still give compensation in the end.

It was just that as for who could persist in doing so, it was estimated that it would only be the first few generations of the Council; whether subsequent successors would still be so good to the common people was hard to say.

Anyway, in the Evereska of the Main Plane, Xia Duo had not been able to see many traces of the first-generation Council of Elders of the Projection Plane.

This might be the result of different historical branches of the Projection Plane, but Xia Duo believed it was more likely a manifestation of "the administration perishing with the person."

Thinking of this, he could not help but feel worried about the future of the Evereska of the current Projection Plane; after all, this had also been a place where he had once struggled.
