Chapter 3142: The Golden Dragon's Psionic Protection Spell

————It will be later~~

"Other than that, it is about the attitude of the Elven Nations. I will have Tili'ao communicate with the representatives of other countries in advance to see if we can probe their domestic attitudes."

"In addition, everyone present, if you have information channels for the Elven Nations, you might as well try to inquire. Right now, we are making choices that align with our own interests based on our own situation, but if the Elven Nations make different choices, we must also consider the situation where they exist."

After saying this, Badijiaer announced the end of the meeting. After the meeting, Xia Duo found Badijiaer to ask if Pulitatisi had revealed any more information, such as research data related to Psionic.

To this, Badijiaer's answer was—

"None. Pulitatisi is very vigilant about Psionic. If Councilor Xia Duo is interested in this, you might as well go talk to him yourself."

"Since that's the case, then I will find another way."

Xia Duo was not overly disappointed. If he could obtain research data related to Psionic directly from the Seven Towers, that would of course be best. If not, it would simply mean going to communicate with Pulitatisi again.

In fact, he had roughly guessed the answer before asking. The reason he went through this extra trouble was actually to serve a certain notification purpose, which is to say—

The Ether Advance Base is actually located in the laboratory area of the Arcane Union Headquarters. Later, because of an accident that caused a small-scale overlap between the Ether Plane and the Main Plane, and because it could produce various resources (Warp Beast Farm, Twisted Phantom Core), it has been kept ever since.

"But, what does he want to bet?" Weide agreed decisively.

"Perhaps he thinks there is a problem with that, but I believe everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It is very superficial to judge a person's value entirely by their Magic exam scores. What does he think?"

……

Weide's reaction was within Xia Duo's expectations. I had long known that Weide and I were not on the same path, but I still tried to change things. I told Weide:

After parting with Weide, Xia Duo returned to the Arcane Union. What surprised me a little was—Pulitatisi was actually waiting for me there. Logically speaking, the other party should have already returned to the Ether Advance Base by now.

"A Mythallar, what does he think?"

"Lord Xia Duo's request has already been mentioned to me by Badijiaer. Even if it is to study Psionic for the purpose of dealing with Psionic, I think it is very inappropriate. This is a matter of principle, so I am sorry."

"That is good too. I was originally going to go to the Ether Advance Base to find him!"

"No, communication is very necessary. I will educate them in my own way, but I hope that when their studies end, we can let them freely choose to stay at the Tower of Time or return to the Wisdom High Tower."

"No problem. At worst, I will help him work for free for a month. If I win, getting a Mythallar for free is also quite good."

The boomerang hitting himself made Pulitatisi feel a bit depressed. He certainly recognized the reasons Xia Duo mentioned; he just simply didn't want the natives to obtain the experience and technology that his hometown had paid a huge price to figure out.

"Whether it is superficial or not, the future will naturally have the answer. As for now, if he thinks it is inappropriate, I can let them not communicate with the Apprentices of the Tower of Time, so there will be no conflict."

"No, no, no! Pulitatisi, he misunderstood. I am not a Psionic Mage, how could I study Psionic! I want to ask him for advice on some means within the field of Arcane Magic used for Protection and countering Psionic. This shouldn't violate his principles, right?"

"Then it is settled."

I am going to contact Pulitatisi privately; you Seven Towers must not misjudge.

After all, Pulitatisi is a living person; it is impossible to completely control the people here in Netheril from not contacting him.

After speaking, as if to show fairness, I added an extra sentence, "Do not use unconventional conditions to lure them. Let them start from their own hearts and make the most real choice. At that time, I will ask Zhenna or Kelifu to be the judges."

"No problem. Since there are even judges, why not add some stakes? The winner will be determined by which side has more people."

"They are very attentive, very hardworking, and also very excellent, but recently teachers have reported that their Elite mindset is very serious. They look down on students whose academic performance is worse than theirs, and there are even some excessive behaviors. I think this has to do with the initial education on his side."

Hearing Xia Duo say this, Weide became interested instead, "Since Lord Xia Duo says so, then I certainly cannot let him be disappointed. Just as he said, let them choose their own affiliation after their studies end. I believe they will make the most correct choice."

I am studying Arcane Magic, it is just that the target is Psionic Mages and Psionic Magic. How can one say I am studying Psionic?

Pulitatisi really could not come up with a rebuttal and could only respond with silence. Seeing this, Xia Duo could not help but feel a little disappointed, so he said again:

Private contact will make the Seven Towers feel uneasy, and it also violates the principle of joint participation, but if notified in advance, then it is fine. At least the pretense is there.

Xia Duo actually didn't care about the outcome. He just wanted to give those who wanted to stay at the Tower of Time a chance, nothing more.

This can actually be considered Psionic research, it is just that Xia Duo believes that defining Psionic research as "using Psionic to conduct research" is a very reasonable definition for Arcane Mages—

Until Pulitatisi discovered that it was also very suitable for Create Ether Boundary, so it became a new Plane Exploration Base.

Currently, Pulitatisi's official partner is the Seven Cities Council. Some who participate directly in exploring new Planes via the Ether Boundary route cannot directly contact Pulitatisi, but others are not very suitable.

"Is there any problem with that?" Weide asked back.

"He also mentioned before that if he could obtain a Psionic Artifact, he could help take a look. Does this count as studying Psionic? I think it does not. At present, Psionic already exists in the Main Plane. As he said, in the future, it is almost inevitable to encounter Astral Invaders. If we make some preparations in advance now, we can avoid being completely unprepared when that day comes."

Weide seemed not to want to continue on this topic and actually gave a solution that the Wisdom High Tower exchange students should not communicate with the Tower of Time Apprentices, which really made Xia Duo a little disappointed.

Even if they really talk about separating from the Council and cooperating independently in private, as long as it is not brought to the table, the Seven Towers will pretend not to see it.

Upon asking, I found out that Badijiaer helped contact him. Perhaps he also didn't want to use this way to remind Pulitatisi—I know about your meeting, don't do anything big.

To go to the Ether Advance Base, one must either take a detour from the Ether Plane or go from the Arcane Union Headquarters. Now that it can save some time, Xia Duo did not feel that Badijiaer was being meddlesome.

Of course, if he could give Weide a light lesson along the way, that would also be excellent.

After leaving the Council, Xia Duo stayed for a while longer and chatted briefly with Weide. It was unrelated to Psionic; the content of the chat was mainly about the current situation of the batch of students Weide sent to study at the Tower of Time.
