Chapter 2991: Confidence and Cooperation

From the concept of a plane cluster learned from Pulitatisi, it can be inferred that the Holy Golden Dragon Empire has a high probability of having discovered a large number of sub-planes outside the Main Plane they are currently in (relative to the main one, they are all material planes, just differing in attributes and volume).

If the Holy Golden Dragon Empire discovered new planes by searching through the Ether Interlayer, the efficiency would likely not be this high; Xia Duo previously experienced Saville's memories and had seen information regarding plane exploration in the Golden Dragon City Library.

The Holy Golden Dragon Empire has only been exploring new planes for a few hundred years, similar to Netheril, and those materials often mentioned the ether; previously, Xia Duo had thought it referred to the Ether Interlayer.

Now it seems that should be a cognitive bias under limited understanding; the ether in those books likely refers to the normal Ether Plane.

The Holy Golden Dragon Empire explores new planes by crossing the Ether Boundary, just like this Pulitatisi before him, who "accidentally" arrived at the Main Plane.

It stands to reason that there must be some kind of random exploration technology there, and it can directly lock onto a plane, rather than bitterly searching like looking for a needle in a haystack in the vast void of the Ether Interlayer.

As for the specifics, Xia Duo needs to first obtain the Holy Golden Dragon Empire's Cross-Plane Teleportation Spell to make further judgments, but he feels his speculation is very likely true.

After all, he is not guessing out of thin air, but has his own research on the Plane Domain as a foundation, making reasonable inferences based on that.

Now it is time to obtain Pulitatisi's teleportation spell; although without the teleportation spell provided by the other party, Xia Duo cannot independently research a Cross-Plane Teleportation Spell based on the principle of Aether Boundary Crossing.

After all, the other party has not yet provided such a highly improbable line of reasoning.

……

In the past, there were actually only two seasons of grain; an extra season was a windfall. If one had all of them, no Territory could hold out for a few years, and even with an Arcane Garden built, it would be difficult to cover all the citizens.

"Is this Dragon Madness Mythallar really impossible to repair or safely dispel?" Delaketiti asked, unwilling to give up.

"First, exchange Cross-Plane Teleportation Spells, then cooperate to build a Teleportation Link. If we can eventually connect to the plane where your hometown is located, not only can you go home, but the living beings of this plane can also possess a precious path of retreat when facing an extinction crisis."

"And what about after that?" Delaketiti asked in return.

Until now, Delaketiti had not figured out why he was exposed; the only possibility was the blood taken away earlier, but he also had his own pride and from beginning to end did not believe that the local Mages could see anything from his blood.

In the vast majority of Mage Towers that do not even have a Plane Exploration Array, a Cross-Plane Teleportation Spell is an even more unattainable piece of black technology.

During this period, he had not failed to try to obtain it from other places, but the Elves were even more conservative, and as for other parts of Netheril, they were mostly no different from the Pulita Territory.

His original plan was to use about a hundred years to truly integrate into the local area and then use local resources to complete his plan, but he just did not expect variables to appear in the plan.

So when Xia Duo and Huo En personally came to his door, his first reaction was indeed some panic, but he calmed down immediately, and when Xia Duo proposed cooperation, he felt that an opportunity had arrived.

From this perspective, it is truly a pity that Master Aierwen, who researched cold-resistant seeds, died; such a person should have succeeded in Ascension to Godhood. Of course, Aierwen's successful Ascension triggering an Ascension competition is another matter.

In fact, he might not necessarily believe in any extinction crisis in his heart, but as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, he does not wish for this extremely precious large-scale Habitable Plane to be destroyed because of it.

The entire Northland has a deep understanding of climate anomalies, and cold-resistant seeds are now an important material that every Territory must purchase; without cold-resistant seeds, one would at least plant one less season than in the past.

Right now, both sides are very likely to reach a cooperation; in the future, he will always have opportunities to obtain relevant information through other channels. He feels that Netheril might be exaggerating on this issue, but the crisis itself should indeed exist.

But if there are ready-made spells and relevant materials to refer to, wouldn't that be even better!

And if he wants to contact his home plane in advance, cooperating with local Mages is unavoidable; of course, the premise is that the other party's cooperation is sincere.

If he could contact his home plane in advance, that would be even better. Although he is not a full-time explorer, the discovery of a new plane—and a new plane that is clearly behind his home plane—that must be a huge profit!

"Mage Delaketiti, what do you think of my proposal?"

"The construction of a Teleportation Link is not easy; its existence is based on individual planes. I wonder how many planes Netheril has currently discovered?"

Hearing Xia Duo mention climate anomalies, Delaketiti had a few more points of belief in the existence of the Dragon Madness Mythallar disintegration crisis; whether an extinction crisis exists is not something one can only listen to from Netheril alone.

In the current Main Plane, there is the Darkness Society causing trouble inside, the Dragon Madness Mythallar disintegration crisis, and the Holy Golden Dragon Empire eyeing it from the outside, and even more planes with powerful civilizations.

Time at this moment is not just money, it is life.

……

The reason for this is that he has confidence; although he cannot contact his home plane for the time being, he has left enough information in this foreign land. With the development speed of his motherland in his home plane, they will find this place sooner or later, and at that time, everything can be settled.

It is indeed a place with a relatively open atmosphere for magic exchange, but those places are all territories of Great Arcanists, and that is exactly what he has always wanted to avoid.

"Mage Delaketiti has only been in this plane for a short time. The Dragon Madness Mythallar disintegration crisis is still a secret among the general Mage population, but for the upper echelons of the Northland, it is already an imminent extinction crisis! Having been in the Xia Territory for over a year, you must have heard about the climate anomalies in recent years; that is just the aftermath of the Dragon Madness Mythallar disintegration!"

In this year and more, he had read almost all the magic classics and scrolls in the Xia Territory's Mage Tower, but what did he see? Apart from a fragmented spell system, there was nothing.

As an outsider who has lived in Netheril for over a year, he is actually very clear about the current conservative atmosphere of Netheril. It has eased in recent years, but before that, there was a conservative period of nearly a hundred years.

Regarding Delaketiti's further inquiry, Xia Duo gave a plan that he and Huo En had discussed temporarily—

Thinking of this, Delaketiti's willingness to cooperate became even stronger. He nodded to acknowledge the cooperation plan proposed by Xia Duo, but regarding the cooperation, he also had his own views—

A Teleportation Link is certainly not that easy to build, but setting the tone first is also reasonable, not to mention that Xia Duo brought up the crisis of this plane again, which made Delaketiti feel a trace of pressure.

Xia Duo knows that the other party has already obtained some Netherese spells through Pulita's connections, but a Cross-Plane Teleportation Spell of the Main Plane is not so easy to obtain.

It can provide temporary relief, but if this is the only way to produce food in the long run, currently in Netheril, apart from the Great Xia Territory, I am afraid no one can bear it.

And it can also save a large amount of time!
