Arcane Lord

Of course, having difficulties does not mean giving up, but the actual conditions of the Tower of Time are really not enough to support Xia Duolai to complete research in this area. He will definitely continue to invest when conditions are available in the future.

After all, the prospect of "hot updates" for MyLocks is too tempting.

…

In the teleportation hall.

Shado carefully examined the perceptual field projection process of the plane exploration array to the etheric layer, and added a new perceptual field projection path for the active exploration mode.

Originally there was only the option of the etheric layer, but now there is the option of the shadow plane. Different from the conventional detection array, the plane exploration array focuses more on detecting the apparent characteristics of the plane.

The detection of the inside of the plane is actually far less effective than the development of conventional detection, but Xia Duo does not really want to explore the inside of the shadow plane now. Even if he does, it will be in the future.

Now, he needs to continue to observe the state of the shadow plane to learn its possible link with the eastern world.

According to his speculation, if the Eastern World is on the main plane, then once the order in the Eastern World is chaotic, there will be loopholes in the known area with the Northland that can be passed through by real people.

In the shadow plane, there is a high probability that some signs will appear. These signs may appear internally, but they will definitely be reflected in the overall state of the plane, even if the whole may be incomplete.

Of course, there is a more direct way, which is to directly observe the main plane itself, but unfortunately this is not easy to do.

On the one hand, the main plane is very close, and the detection array itself uses the time and space fluctuations of the main plane in the etheric layer, which is similar to the feeling that the eyes cannot see themselves.

On the other hand, the interior of the main plane is the easiest to observe. It can be speculated that if the Eastern World can hide an area of ​​the main plane and make it difficult for others to detect it inside the plane, then the outside of the plane is likely to be the same. Their hidden preferred elements.

If you want to observe the main plane, you need to build a new plane exploration array. If you want to integrate it into the existing exploration array, it is not easy to do.

Some of the information provided by Seven Towers shows that they have not solved this problem. Perhaps they have a new design idea for the exploration array, but they just did not tell Sha Duo.

But if you do not integrate but design an exploration array, or detection array, specifically for observing the main plane, it is actually not difficult.

After all, the main plane is very close. In theory, it is the easiest large-scale plane to observe. However, in the past, few people may have observed, recorded, and studied the time and space status of the main plane in the ethereal layer.

This belongs to the category of basic research. The magic research in the main plane of Netheril is more practical. Even the Seven Towers cannot bear the investment without output for a long time.

Not to mention the "waste" of manpower. At a time when magic has not yet begun to become popular in Netheril, any spellcaster, especially one who can engage in plane exploration, is not the best among geniuses. .

Let them engage in basic research, even if Qita is willing to do it, will the geniuses who seem to be sitting on the bench be willing to do it? This really needs to be a question mark.

In the process of adjusting the projection path of the exploration array's sensing field, Xia Duo kept thinking about how long they could maintain their advantage once the popularization of education became popular and if the Seven Towers could not keep up.

If we follow up on universal education, it may eventually evolve into a competition between the entire population.

Shado was glad that he had taken the lead among the Netherese lords. The total population of more than 500,000 was not unique in Netheril, but he was certainly at the forefront.

But compared to Netheril's total population of over ten million, these people are nothing.

Therefore, in the future, we need to continue to maintain the existing population policy-encouraging births and actively introducing them from the outside. At the same time, we need to win more allies.

From this perspective, the Seven Towers will still be the most competitive force in Netheril in the future. Even if there are inevitably conflicts of interest within the Seven Towers, the long-term tacit understanding of the alliance is unmatched by many lord alliances.

In previous prophecies, Xia Duo has seen the future announcement mentioning the Mainland Lords Alliance many times. This may be because the Lords who are more sensitive to the trend of the new era are aware of the nature of future competition and are the first to raise the banner to win more allies.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. In terms of open-mindedness, the lords in the mainland were definitely not as good as him, but just thinking was not enough to give him an absolute advantage in the future competition.

We also need a population that matches our thoughts. Otherwise, with just a few people sitting on the ground and dreaming, no matter how conservative others are, as long as the wisdom and productivity of the vast sea of ​​people are developed a little, it will be enough to overtake them.

Of course, these are all long-term plans. What is right around the corner may be the predicted fog event and climate anomaly. After adjusting the plane exploration array, Xia Duo left an operation manual for the two watchmen and quickly returned. laboratory.

Afterwards, the main consciousness returned to the incarnation in the North Pole, and continued to search for traces of the Dragon Mad Lock control center.

…

the next day.

Although he did not receive any notification from Niya, Shado, who had received the news from Devine the day before, still returned his consciousness to his body on time, providing the final guarantee for the construction of the communication mystery lock presided over by Niya.

Savile Town is about a mile north.

On a spellcasting site that had been cleared in advance, the high-level mages of the Tower of Time stood calmly in their respective positions, waiting for Niya's instructions to start.

But at this moment, Niya hesitated a little. She was full of confidence during the practice, but when she personally presided over such a large spell-casting project, she was still nervous.

Not to mention, this is still in the main plane. If it causes a bad impact, I'm afraid it will leave a shadow for a lifetime.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo knew that he was right to come back, and he was also aware of Niya's worries, so he comforted her alone on the Lingsi network:

"I have already said hello to the Northland Alliance in advance. Don't worry about them coming to cause trouble in the name of super-magic incidents. Don't worry about experimenting. Even if it fails, don't be afraid. The magic network environment on the main plane is better than the blue crystal environment. The plane is easier to calm down, it’s all up to me!”

Perhaps Xia Duo's comfort had an effect. Niya's emotions in the Lingsi Network were obviously much more stable. As for the others, they were calm from beginning to end.

After all, they are not the host of the ceremony like Niya, so the psychological pressure of the assistants is much less, not to mention the consideration of external factors, which are also blocked by Niya and Xia Duo.

All they need to consider is the spell casting itself. If they have participated in the construction of a myth lock once and succeeded, they will naturally not feel too much psychological pressure.

The pressure is all put on Niya. This is indeed pressure, but under pressure, people can grow more.

Xia Duo looked at Nia expectantly and asked her if she could start the experiment. With Xia Duo's encouragement, Nia quickly completed the mental construction and her eyes became much sharper. She nodded heavily and asked Xia Duo to retreat. aside, and then give orders on Lingsi Network——

"Determine the standard time 07:02:13!

"Construction of the communication mystery lock begins!

"The timing instructions are as follows -

"..."
