Chapter 2994: Finally Obtaining the Key Spell

————It will be later still~~

————

Sure enough, Pulitatisi mentioned the Cross-Plane Teleportation Spell based on Aether Boundary Crossing next. Just as Xia Duo had speculated earlier, the key to this spell lay in the 【Ether Boundary】.

Many technologies are built upon the theoretical foundation of the 【Ether Boundary】, including more efficient Plane Exploration technology.

Pulitatisi only briefly described the Principles; both Xia Duo and Huo En saw the immense feasibility of discovering new Planes.

Then, what follows is quite simple.

……

Delake City, City Hall.

Lord Pake, who had just been sent away by Pulitatisi under a pretext, was called back again. Regarding the current outcome, he felt both curious and somewhat worried:

"Teacher, two Councilors, have you finished your discussion?"

"Mm."

Before Xia Duo or Huo En could speak, Pulitatisi took the initiative to explain, "I am going to Seventon next to discuss a collaborative project with the Seven Towers. Barring any accidents, I will be back in a day or two. You need not worry."

The Seven Towers itself is already a bloated interest group; they cannot even train their own people, so where would they find the resources to train Mages who have nearly exhausted their potential, let alone Mages from the outside?

The Legendary achievement on the Mage path is not as natural as the Arcanist path is to Seventon; as long as a Seventon has sufficient lifespan, they can always eventually reach the Da Arcanist level. But even if a Mage could live forever, they might not necessarily reach the Legendary level.

However, all of this must wait until the teacher returns from Seventon. If the teacher were to go and never return, then all these fantasies would be nothing more than a daydream.

The fundamental reason lies in the fact that the Mage path is extremely difficult to walk. The number of Legendary Mages in the history of Netheril can be counted on one hand, while as for Da Arcanist, there are over fifty just among the current councilors in plain sight.

After arriving at Jilan High Tower, Jilan immediately called for Bulundesi to take Pulitatisi to tour the Seven Towers first, while he himself went with Xia Duo to the Gustav High Tower, where Badijiaer and other Seven Towers Controllers had already been waiting for a long time.

But Badijiaer would not look only at him, and the explanation continued: "The reason we brought you here is, firstly, to explain this matter, and secondly, it was requested by Ruier. I don't know the specifics either; you can listen to him explain it later. Let me first talk about what this matter is actually about."

After failing to advance to Seventon while in debt over ten years ago, Lord Delake decisively chose the Mage path to pay off his debts, but after so many years, he still harbored a sliver of hope for the Legendary level.

"Correct, Lord Delake. Regarding the cooperation between the Seven Towers and my teacher, we have actually already discussed most of it. Going to Seventon now is more to confirm the details. At the latest, by the day after tomorrow, my teacher will definitely be able to return. However—"

As the current leader of the Seven Towers, Badijiaer naturally had to take responsibility in such a situation. He explained, "This matter is somewhat special. We were worried about the news leaking, so we did not inform you previously."

Lander and the others expressed their understanding; only Delake still wore a look of obvious dissatisfaction on his face.

"Let me explain!"

……

"I will consider it carefully. Thank you for the explanation, Councilor Ruier."

Compared to the teacher she had only been with for a little over a year, Pulita was actually more willing to join the Seven Towers. It was just that the Seven Towers rarely accepted Mages. If one wanted to join, it basically meant helping to manage administrative affairs.

However, what Delake said was also a fact. During the comprehensive detection process, the discovery of the mysterious dragon-kin and this operation were known to only a few, and that did not include Delake.

"However, my teacher will be busy with the cooperation project in the future, so I am afraid he will not have much time to stay in your Territory. If you wish to see your teacher often, you might as well live in Sikumu long-term. That place concentrates the most elite group of Mages in Netheril, and being there will also be beneficial for your exchanges and progress."

"It is not capturing, it is inviting," Badijiaer reminded him, then looked at Ruier, "You explain the rest."

Upon meeting, Badijiaer asked impatiently: "Did your exchange with the other party go smoothly? Why did you bring the person back directly?"

"Mm, it is settled."

Not to mention, there is also the Public Teleportation Array of the Arcane Union. With Xia Duo's current status, he does not even need to pay the teleportation fee.

"Wait, shouldn't you explain the cause and effect of this matter first?"

If not for Arcane Fire, would those Seventons dare to be so arrogant?

The "you" here refers to the other five Seven Towers Controllers including Ruier. This situation is not the first time it has happened; it has occurred before.

Correspondingly, as long as one uses the Arcane Union's Teleportation Array to depart, whether heading to the wilderness or another Teleportation Array, one cannot escape the one-thousand Gold Coin fee.

The one speaking was Delake. He had been at odds with Xia Duo earlier, and seeing Xia Duo present now, he inevitably felt unhappy and used the opportunity to vent.

Following that, Badijiaer briefly introduced the entire process: the discovery of the mysterious dragon-kin during the comprehensive detection, the invitation for Xia Duo to participate in the attempted capture, and the final change of plans to prioritize communication instead.

……

And possessing Arcane Fire is essentially having a Private Magic Web, which can even support other Mages in Spellcasting. As long as the Private Magic Web is strong enough, one can even approach the status of a god.

In the Netheril magic world, there has always been a saying that the next advancement of the Arcane Path might lie in Arcane Fire.

"That is to say, you have now successfully captured this mysterious dragon-kin?"

Ordinary people, regardless of whether they cast spells themselves or depart from other Teleportation Arrays, even if it is just a single teleportation error, as long as they are received by the Arcane Union's Teleportation Array, that one-thousand Gold Coin teleportation fee cannot be avoided.

With a single fee as high as one thousand Gold Coins, most people will choose the Teleportation Array whenever they have a choice. Of course, there are also Portals, which are safer, but the threshold for casting and the maintenance costs are also higher.

Of course, the rhetoric that "gods are just stronger Seventons" is indeed too arrogant, but it also highlights the significance of Arcane Fire.

Returning to Sikumu from Delake is much simpler; one can just teleport directly back to Jilan High Tower. Not to mention Ruier being present, even if it were just Xia Duo, obtaining a temporary Access Key for the Teleportation Array there would not be a difficult task.

Speaking of this, Huo En seemed to want to tease Lord Delake, deliberately pausing for a moment before telling the other party—

But correspondingly, once one achieves the Legendary level, one possesses the opportunity to advance to Da Arcanist again, and it is directly to the Da Arcanist level.

No matter how legendary an ordinary Mage is, they cannot resist the temptation of Arcane Fire. No matter how much the former struggles, they are only borrowers of the Magic Net and cannot be considered to have truly mastered Magic.

But now, Lord Pulita discovered that the relationship between the Seven Towers and his teacher seemed very complex. Perhaps he could use his teacher's connection to obtain Knowledge and resources from the Seven Towers to achieve his own Legendary path.

Otherwise, now that his debts have long been paid off, he would have no need to seek out his teacher; continuing to study under his teacher is purely for that sliver of possibility of achieving the Legendary level.
