257 The Growing Netheril(1/2)
Garen did not leave directly, but stayed here to watch a war between humans and orcs.
He wasn't really in the mood, so he became a spectator for once.
Garen wanted to get some information about Faerûn from the arcanist in front of him.
The main material world where the Faerun continent is located is not as small as the Noah continent. Without knowing the location, if Garen went directly to aimlessly search for the location of the ancient Imasca Empire, it would also take a lot of effort at his speed.
A long period of time.
Garen didn't want to waste time and energy on unnecessary searches.
After hearing the Grand Arcanist's inquiry, Garen grinned slightly, indicating that he had no ill intentions.
"I come from other material planes."
Under Iolum's surprised gaze, the silver dragon replied.
At the same time, Garen said to the great arcanist: "I have just come to this main material world, and I have no understanding of this world."
At the same time, the moment Garon opened his mouth to speak to Iolum.
The long river of time has changed.
But in the blink of an eye, a new timeline appeared, and Garen lost his deep connection with the main timeline. He clearly felt that the speed at which he absorbed the power of time had dropped many times.
"Sure enough, when I have an impact on the future, no matter how big or small, a new timeline will be opened up."
Garen raised his head and glanced at the long river of time across the sky, shaking his head slightly.
At the same time, the Grand Arcanist followed Garen's gaze and looked up at the sky.
However, the change in the timeline was obviously not something he could detect.
In Iolum's field of vision, except for the drifting clouds and the orange sun in the sky, there was nothing worth paying attention to.
Garen withdrew his gaze and looked at Iolum.
He looked calmly and said slowly: "Powerful spell caster, are you willing to explain to me some of the conditions of this main material world? Of course, I know the principle of equivalent exchange. From me, you can also get another main material
knowledge of the world.”
Strong people know far more about the main material world in which they live than ordinary creatures.
Garen wanted to know more about Faerun. In Garen's eyes, Iolum, who has a biological level of twenty-six, is just a suitable target. He is not stronger than Garen and will not make Garen feel threatened.
You are not a weakling, you will have a unique and clear understanding of this main material world.
Iolum is over one hundred and fifty years old.
He wore a dark blue mage robe with twisted magic runes and patterns of the sun, moon and stars on the robe. These runes and patterns flowed slowly, intertwining into a strange scene.
His face is already older.
You can see obvious wrinkles around the eyes that are filled with the light of wisdom.
If a human spellcaster does not use special means, even a legendary caster, his lifespan will not be much longer. At this time, Iolum is already an old man among spellcasters, and he will attack the orcs with him.
Arcanists, most of whom are Iolum's apprentices.
"It turns out to be guests from other main material worlds."
Under Garen's gaze, Iolum smiled slightly and said: "I also yearn for the magic knowledge of other worlds. I think we can have some friendly exchanges."
"My name is Iolam, the Grand Arcanist of Netheril."
Netheril?
When he heard this word, Garen was slightly startled.
He knew that the Netheril Empire also existed in Faerûn, but he did not expect that he was heading towards the Ancient Imaskar Empire, but came to the land of Netheril when he had just arrived in the main material world.
Is it possible that the destruction of the ancient Imaskar Empire is related to the Nerriel Empire?
Garen only knows a little about the continent of Faerûn.
"The Netherese Empire?"
Garen said in a questioning tone.
Iolum was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said: "Your Excellency, you are joking. We, Netheril, are just an ordinary country on the continent of Faerûn. We are far from worthy of the name of an empire."
As an ordinary country, it seems that Netheril has not yet reached its moment of glory and strength.
Garen thought silently in his heart.
"However, the Netheril Empire that you are talking about is also the goal that I, Iolam, strive for."
"I believe that one day, Netheril will become an important word that cannot be ignored on the continent of Faerûn."
There was a calm smile on the Grand Arcanist's face.
He believed in himself, believed in the arcane masters of Netheril, and also believed in the future of Netheril.
"I'll wait and see."
Garen smiled slightly.
He knew Nether's future. It was destined to become a powerful and splendid magic empire. However, there were powerful magic empires in this world, but there was no eternal magic empire. The only thing that was eternal was the one hanging high above the main material world.
Extraneous gods and quasi-divine powers.
in the long dimension of time.
The glory of the Netheril Empire, like the Alphatia Empire, are fleeting fireworks, and there are many such fireworks.
At this time, the remaining arcanists and human warriors continued to clean up the battlefield.
Iolum's eyes were illuminated by magic. He was observing the surrounding situation to prevent any accidents from happening, and at the same time he was communicating with Garen.
"I'm very interested in the arcane."
"It is similar to the spellcasting system I have mastered, but it is different."
Garleon and Iolum exchanged arcane magic and the spells Garleon mastered.
"Protection, conjuration, plasticity...the eight major sects."
"A very detailed division of spells."
After hearing about the different schools of magic, Iolum's eyes brightened slightly, and he was also very interested in the magic system that Garon was learning.
"In contrast, the arcana here is not clearly divided, and there are roughly only three types."
Iolum spoke of arcane magic.
"Creation, Mind, Transformation."
"Creation and destruction, controlling the mind and will, transforming different substances."
"A powerful arcanist will be involved in these three types of arcana at the same time, just like me."
Garen listened quietly.
Arcane spells are extremely powerful, and their effects are simpler and more powerful than ordinary spells. Since he came to this world dominated by arcane spells, he planned to study arcane spells to increase his understanding of the nature of spells.
Iolum gave Garen some of the arcanist's basic spellbooks.
In return, Galleon also gave Iolum part of the basic spell books of the eight major sects.
Both are powerful spellcasters. The knowledge of spells from different systems can allow you to understand them by analogy. Even if you don't learn them, just understanding them can increase your spell attainments.
"Compared with the spells of your world, arcane magic seems to be more... primitive."
During the communication with Garen, Iolum whispered softly.
Garen thought thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Your description is very appropriate."
original.
Arcane really gave Garleon this feeling.
More than that, Alphatia's wind and fire spells also have a primitive feeling.
This primitive magic has unquestionable power.
The spells of the eight sects are more precise and detailed, their uses are more diverse, and they can do almost everything. However, compared with the primitive arcane spells, which are still somewhat crude, Garen feels that their power has dropped by more than one level.
Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
