Arcane Lord

The time invested always passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of March.

As Xia Duo expected, the magic network environment restoration project outside the Tower of Time has now reached the final stage.

Xia Duo did not participate in this step, but left it all to Ai Burke to complete. He was relatively reassured by Ai Burke.

He himself came to the Arcane Garden to imbue the codex sculptures with constant magic.

Six days ago, [Code Sculpture·Constant Matrix·Final Version] was completed, including the proportion adjustment to adapt to the upward angle after enlargement, the typesetting of the text of the Codex on the four sides of the base, the decorative patterns and textures of the sculpture, and key accuracy issues. Xia Duo solved them one by one.

It's just that this sculpture was not originally a real stone, but was transformed from a large ball of pure water through petrification magic. Although the petrification magic from ancient statues can have a more complete petrification effect than ordinary spells.

But you still have to wait for a period of time until its materiality is completely stable before subsequent constant magic processing can be carried out.

It took six full days to wait. Now that the materiality of the Codex sculpture is stable, it is time for Chateau to give it more functions!

Arcane Garden.

Next to the square well where Chateau made his first large-scale sculpture, a ten-meter-high blue-black sculpture stood silently.

After many adjustments to the design, this time when Xia Duo came to the foot of the sculpture and looked up at the sculpture, there was no sense of dissonance like the first time.

The text of the code is clearly visible on the base. Taking a few steps back, the body of the sculpture, the giant stone code, is reflecting dazzling light in the strong light of the Arcane Garden.

This light even once covered up its blue-black true color, giving it a metallic texture with a silvery glow.

The enlarged sculpture is also rich in various decorative patterns and textures, but they are not there to distract the guests. Instead, they make the huge book of the Code and the text of the Code on the four sides of the base below more solemn and solemn.

Originally, Xia Duo was planning to change the color of the sculpture, but now he has decided not to change it. It’s good like this!

Not only that, in the future, Xia Duo will also issue black robes to people engaged in trial and judicial work in the territory to show the dignity and authority of the law and legal workers.

But that's all a thing for another day. Now Xia Duo has only one goal in his eyes, which is to complete the constant magic of the code sculpture.

In Chateau's original plan, in addition to the most basic automatic protection function, this code sculpture should also have the function of automatically broadcasting the content of the code to those who are close to it, and automatically transmitting the corresponding content of the code based on the keywords of the surface consciousness information of those who are close to it.

Of course, there are also functions such as increasing deterrence and increasing light at night, but those are secondary and it doesn’t matter if they are not available, but the core functions are indispensable.

It's just that in the past few days, Xia Duo has never been able to complete such a plan design. It's not that the spell itself cannot be realized, the problem lies in the constancy.

Magic constancy does not actually refer to a specific spell for constancy, but a design theory for the constancy of specific spells.

The key lies in constructing the cyclical operation of various element units of the spell so that the spell will not be disintegrated by the tendency of the magic network to recover independently, so that the spell effect can exist permanently (theoretically).

Therefore, the spell casting complexity of [** Spell·Constant Version] is far greater than the spell itself. After all, it involves element recycling. Even if the plan is researched and implemented, the actual spell casting is still quite complicated.

It's easy to understand from another angle. The spell is constant, which is equivalent to casting a spell countless times. If the difficulty of casting the spell is very low, then what is the use of normal spells?

The automatic psychic broadcasting spell designed by Chateau for the Codex Sculpture must not only take into account the scenario of multiple people using it at the same time, but also the scenario of specific response.

Therefore, when this spell was finally designed, it was a very complex 8-level spell.

Although Sha Duo has now come into contact with the ninth level of the magic network and can cast regular 9-level spells (Watch Tower's [Blazing Sun]), it is still very difficult to deal with constant 8-level spells.

Not only is it difficult to design the element cycle, but it is even more difficult to cast the spell!

The element cycle design can be completed if it takes a little more time, but it is difficult to cast the spell and it is difficult to solve it with a general method.

All Xia Duo can think of is to design ritual magic and ask a few more people to come together. But according to his estimation, in order to complete the constancy of this spell, not counting other people, at least three archmages alone will be needed!

In the Tower of Time, where else can one find the Archmage other than Sha Duo? As for going to Severton to hire someone, Sha Duo has never thought about asking the three Arch Mages to give up for quite some time to get familiar with the spells, and then they may have to try several times before they can do it. The cost of achieving constancy is not small.

In addition to the leakage of the spell itself, the more important thing is the favor.

There is a saying that "all living beings fear the consequences, and Bodhisattvas fear the causes." Although Xia Duo has not reached that level, he also knows that it is difficult to repay favors. If you are a person with nothing, then naturally you don't care about the favor debts, but Xia Duo is not the case.

The higher he gets, the more sensitive he becomes to these things.

There might be some wild mages outside the Seven Towers who would come as long as they were paid, but Xia Duo didn't quite trust those people.

During the few days that he was waiting for the materiality of the codex sculpture to be stable, Xia Duo also seriously considered whether to ask for help, but in the end he gave up.

Because he is not yet sure if he can continue to use his plan to complete the element cycle design of the spell before the field granting ceremony. If it cannot be completed, then a lot of efforts during this period will be meaningless.

Or the field granting ceremony may be postponed.

Just postponing the field granting ceremony is easy to handle, but a series of subsequent plans will be postponed because of this, which is not something Xia Duo can accept.

Just last night, after Niya's reminder, Xia Duo thought of a trick and decided to use this method.

He sculpted the constant magic for the code, and his purpose was more about the result than the process. He had already researched the [Interactive Code Presentation Technique], and the constant plan was only not completed because of time issues.

As for the difficulty of casting the spell, it is not a crime of war. This is determined by the physiological limits of human beings. Even if a great arcanist comes over, it may not be possible for one person to complete the constant casting of this spell.

From this perspective, Xia Duo's bet on the future development of mithril component magic items should be right.

As expected, constant magic items are only suitable for a few high-end products. Although they may not necessarily decline in the future, and may even become more popular among high-end products, overall, they will definitely not be as popular as mithril component types.

As for now, Xia Duo has deeply felt the difference.
