Chapter 465: Re-entering the Library

As for the Chief Judge here in Jilan City, an Archmage will take over later, but that is no longer important.

Three days later, the successor Archmage arrived; Aosike handed over the relevant work to him, and then took Xia Duo to leave Jilan City via the Teleportation Array of the Teleportation Division.

……

Diyi Fudu.

Arriving here once again, Xia Duo felt quite emotional; only a few Diyi Fudu have a Magic Academy, and while the academy itself does not set up any obstacles, ordinary Judges simply do not have the Permission Level to use the Teleportation Array.

Unless one flies over themselves, but Judges have to work, and their rest time is very uncertain; once there is a temporary task, if they say you must go, you have to go.

Over the past year, it was not that Xia Duo had not thought about flying over himself, but because his free time was uncertain and he did not know the way, he was unable to leave.

Now he has come openly and aboveboard, and it is foreseeable that he will stay here for a long time.

The only troublesome thing is that after becoming Aosike's assistant, his usual free time is even less than when he was in Jilan City, but compared to being able to enter the academy Library and browse through all the books, Xia Duo still feels it is quite worth it.

Reporting, auditing, housing allocation, taking office, meetings, and familiarizing himself with the work—by the time he was completely settled, a month had already passed. During this process, Xia Duo also gained a deeper understanding of the Arcane Empire's system.

……

This afternoon, Xia Duo finally found some free time to leave work early and came to Aidi's alma mater—the Second Magic Academy.

In the past month, he had applied no fewer than ten times, but every time he missed the visiting hours due to being busy with work; this time, he was finally able to come over.

It is just that the time is already late today, and he does not know how much he can read.

Sighing, he registered his identity information at the entrance, and then Xia Duo headed straight for the Spell area. Coming here for the first time after starting work, he resisted the urge to look for Mithril Refining Technology and first found a copy of "Practical Techniques for Judgment Spells."

It is actually about mind spells, but due to the special nature of mind spells, this book does not involve specific spell details, but rather expounds on the various applications of mind spells in judgment work from a macro perspective.

Strictly speaking, this book is not a Spellbook; it is more like a book on sociology or criminal investigation. However, for Xia Duo, it is also relevant, as it is the Judgment Division after all.

After flipping through it for a while, Xia Duo finally set his sights on other books. This time, he still did not look for Mithril Refining Technology, but was looking for the method for an Arcanist to become an Advanced Arcanist here in the Arcane Empire.

He could actually apply for this method directly outside; in fact, he had already applied for it when he first arrived in Jilan City, but the authorities did not release all the information at once, but rather according to the applicant's progress.

In the Library, there is no need to worry about progress.

Xia Duo also really wants to know if there are any improvements in the method for an Arcanist to become an Advanced Arcanist here compared to the Netheril method in the Main Plane. From the information he obtained earlier, it is indeed the same result.

That is—seizing the essence of the Magic Net to generate Arcane Fire.

But the problem is, Netheril in the Main Plane only discovered the Nether Scroll about 500 years ago, and if you count the time to research this magic system, the actual time of magic development is far less than that of the Arcane Empire in the Projection Plane.

From the General History of the Empire, it is known that from the time the Great Sage started teaching magic until now, it has been nearly 1,000 years, almost two histories of Netheril.

If it were not for the so-called "Demon Extermination War" with the Elves, perhaps the number of Great Arcanists in the Arcane Empire could have exceeded one hundred. Moreover, there is a very important reason: the Arcane Empire does not have Life Extension Magic.

Even if one is called a Great Arcanist, one cannot escape the natural lifespan of a human.

Of course, Life Extension Magic in the Main Plane cannot extend life indefinitely either; it is generally calculated as a multiple of one's own lifespan, ranging from a dozen to several decades, with some individuals potentially living longer.

The Arcane Empire does not have Life Extension Magic. While constantly at war for nearly a thousand years, they have still been able to maintain at least 20 Great Arcanists without a break in succession. Besides the factors of developing the population in a near-perverted way and opening up access to magic knowledge, their advancement method must have also been improved! "Is the Great Sage really someone projected from the Main Plane?"

Xia Duo could not help but raise this question again. The Netheril language can be understood, as it all originated from the Seven Cities Alliance, but the Netheril Magic System is very difficult to understand.

Does the Projection Plane have the Nether Scroll? Or an equivalent existence with a different name? In the Arcane Empire, "Netheril" is just a name swept into the dust of history, without any special meaning. To this day, except for those studying history, almost no one mentions it anymore.

Xia Duo has been here for over a year, and he has never heard anyone mention the name "Netheril." If he had not read the General History of the Empire, he would not even know that the Arcane Empire also originated from the Seven Cities Alliance.

If the Great Sage is not from the Main Plane, then it does not matter; this projection experience will become a treasure that Xia Duo enjoys exclusively. But if the Great Sage is from the Main Plane, then—

Perhaps the other party can obtain a huge treasure far exceeding Xia Duo's.

Could there really be such a person in the Main Plane? In the Main Plane, not every Great Arcanist possesses a Plane Exploration Array. If the Great Sage is truly from the Main Plane, then he should be under the command of those few Great Arcanists.

The more he thought about it, the more Xia Duo felt this was possible.

Perhaps this is the real way to play with Plane Exploration.

Sigh—

Xia Duo previously thought that the Projection Plane was only useful for utilizing time or digging into the Elves' foundations, but if one could utilize the huge time difference to farm, perhaps the harvest would be even greater! However, this method requires a group of reliable subordinates, because the time in the Projection Plane is real; no Great Arcanist would be willing to come over personally to play a thousand-year farming game.

What is the difference between that and playing in the Main Plane?

One still needs subordinates to come over, and they must be capable subordinates. History has inertia; if the Great Sage is truly from the Main Plane, then they must be extraordinary to be able to change history generation after generation.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt disappointed again. He does not have such subordinates; even those people in the Tower of Time are not enough to guide a vast empire, let alone make Great Arcanists obey their leadership.

Thinking this way, perhaps the Great Sage is truly a miracle native to the Projection Plane, it is just that there have been a few too many of these miracles, from a thousand years ago until now, endless through the generations.

Xia Duo would rather the Great Sage be a native, but he has to be prepared for the fact that there is a group pushing all of this behind the scenes.

The so-called preparation is, of course, to extend his stay here. He was lucky enough to enter such a Projection Plane this time; he might not have such an opportunity in the future.

Of course, if the situation is suitable, it would be nice for him to come and play with this kind of plane exploration himself; this is much more interesting than farming in some Sub-plane.

It is just that no matter how glorious the Projection Plane is, it is ultimately nothing more than a dream bubble. Xia Duo could not help but feel genuinely sad for the people inside.
