Chapter 795: Secrets of the Gods, Anomalies of the Magic Net

In the Main Plane, the "Elven Main Deity" is truly too far removed from Xia Duo.

Even if spreading the New Nature Doctrine might be competing for business with the Elven Main Deity, at least for now, not even a single New Druid has been born in Xiaduo Ling.

But in the Projection Plane, this kind of unconstrained, randomly existing virtual plane, even regarding the Elven Main Deity, Xia Duo feels that it does not seem so far from him.

The settings of that game on Earth have become indistinguishable from truth and falsehood when placed into the real world of Magic; whether the Astral Plane is truly the graveyard of the gods is still very hard to say.

Perhaps the Elven Main Deity could project His power into the Astral Plane, or even into the Projection Plane, and project it right before him!

However, curiosity still constantly urged him to explore the secrets of the gods; perhaps this is a step he must take in the future, and doing it now is merely a little premature.

The fanatical atmosphere under the altar also intensified this curiosity; he does not even need to actively explore, as long as he stays in this Projection Plane, he will certainly be able to come into contact with the secrets regarding the gods.

Perhaps it is of vital importance, or perhaps it is of no consequence.

……

Not long after, Maluxisi's sermon drew to a close, and Xia Duo's heart also tightened, constantly pondering how the other party would arrange for him; could it be that it ended with just conferring the title of Father-Servant?

At the same time, he was also silently observing the surrounding Magic Net environment; as a former gang leader of the Sangqi Family, "Brandon" himself was undoubtedly capable of Spellcasting.

Or rather, in this cruel Underdark, not knowing how to cast spells leaves almost no way out, no different from a Slave.

However, since he goes by the name "Martial Arts Chief," Brandon's attainments in the field of Magic can be imagined.

Through constantly triggering keyword memories, Xia Duo knows that this guy is only proficient in two spells: one is 【Spell Breaking】, and the other is 【Short-range Teleportation】.

These are the core spells of Elven Sword Singers and also Drow warriors; without these two spells, no matter how good one's martial arts are, one can only be considered an ordinary militiaman.

If one's talent for Magic is slightly better, one might learn some auxiliary spells; if the talent is even better, then specializing in spells to become a Mage would be a better choice.

However, regardless of "Brandon's" attainments in Magic, it has no impact on Xia Duo at all; he only needs the fact that the other party can cast spells.

As long as the projection character can cast spells, even if it is just an Apprentice, Xia Duo can immediately recover the strength of a High Mage.

Of course, if the projection character is a Great Arcanist or an Elven High Mage, Xia Duo cannot gain stronger power from it.

Once projected over, he is himself.

And if the projection character cannot cast spells, Xia Duo also cannot cast spells; if he forces it, he will only be banished from this Projection Plane, unless he learns to cast spells through the normal means of this plane to recover.

In layman's terms, if Xia Duo projects into a mountain farmer, as long as he gets an apprentice training book, he can immediately recover into a High Mage.

However, currently, Xia Duo has not projected many times, and he has not encountered this situation even once; at the very worst, it was a Mage Apprentice who had learned 【Prestidigitation】.

Niya, on the other hand, had her first projection journey; she was killed before she even understood what she had projected into, and the second time she projected into a farmer's daughter who could not cast spells.

Before learning to cast spells through normal means, she couldn't help but use a spell and was banished from the Projection Plane, wasting another projection opportunity.

It must be said that Xia Duo has experienced the Projection Plane five times so far; although the circumstances were different each time, it is quite lucky that he projected into a Spellcaster every time!

……

No one knows that the current "Brandon" has leaped to become a High Mage, but Xia Duo did not feel optimistic because of this; instead, he felt quite troubled.

In his Perception, the Magic Net environment here is vastly different from the Main Plane, looking very much like that Mythallar Ruins within Xia Duo's Territory in the Main Plane; the entire Magic Net environment is extremely manic and turbulent.

Although it has not yet triggered various random spells, it is very unfriendly to Spellcasters.

Since Xia Duo is still on the altar, he did not intend to actually cast a spell, only attempting to contact the Magic Net, but the moment he made contact, he felt a deep sense of resistance from the Magic Net's feedback.

It was like an unruly, wild horse, jumping about, unwilling to let the rider on its back control it.

"Sigh—"

Xia Duo sighed deeply in his heart; even setting aside the Drow Mage factor, he, a High Mage from the Main Plane, still cannot do as he pleases upon arriving in the Underdark.

If this were in a game, to cast spells in the Underdark, one would probably need to learn the skill 【Underdark Spellcasting】!

Of course, Xia Duo is a High Mage after all; as long as he is given a certain amount of time to adapt, he will eventually be able to adapt and convert his Spellcasting method.

But in the short term, he has almost lost his ability to cast spells.

The reason for saying "almost" is because Xia Duo just felt the Bloodline Power within his body while in the Light Prison, which is consistent with the Main Plane.

It is just that he does not dare to use this power easily; this is power that the original "Brandon" could never have possessed, and he is afraid of being caught and "sliced up" if he uses it.

……

Soon, amidst a collective chant, Maluxisi ended her sermon, and Xia Duo also stopped his random thoughts, staring fixedly at the other party to see how she would arrange for him!

Seeming to still be immersed in the atmosphere from just before, Maluxisi was silent for a moment before loudly announcing the end: "Go back! Go back and prepare; the Sangqi Family will be our first target. I absolutely will not allow failure!"

After she finished speaking, the Drow under the altar erupted into cheers.

Xia Duo clearly felt several malicious gazes gathering on him; he knew that the identity of this projection body was originally a member of the Sangqi Family, and now that they heard such news, it was inevitable that some Drow would want to see a joke.

However, Xia Duo is not Brandon; he has no feelings for the so-called Sangqi Family, so naturally, he would not show any abnormality.

And his cold demeanor seemed to suit Maluxisi's wishes; after the Drow under the altar left, she twisted her enchanting figure to press against Xia Duo, sliding her cold fingers across Xia Duo's face while saying softly:

"I will let you watch with your own eyes as the members of the Sangqi Family die one by one. Does that sound good?"

Xia Duo felt a chill in his heart; what kind of environment created such a race! He backhanded a slap across her face.

Maluxisi did not dodge, only grabbing his hand and rubbing it against her face, her tone seemingly carrying some allure, "Want it already? Not now, oh!"

After speaking, she immediately cast aside Xia Duo's hand, looked at Xia Duo with disgust, and said in that initial cold voice: "Follow me!"
