Arcane Lord

"I discovered the open interface of the Mystery Lock!"

This sentence alone made Byron very surprised. He had done in-depth research on the secret information provided by Ilfaran under the pretext of compensating Randall.

Mysticism, the supreme skill of elven magic, is almost impossible to find for people who don't understand the secrets of Mysticism, even with the open interface.

But now, Xia Duo has found it, and he seems to be very sure about it, so it doesn't surprise him!

"Lord Shado, can you tell me about the process of your discovery?" Byron asked curiously.

Of course, Xia Duo would not say that he had seen information related to the Mystery Lock in the [Projection Plane·Dark Region]. Although he did not know the technical details, there were always traces of the link method.

It is no longer possible to say that he also appeared from the projection plane and brought back a mysterious key that looked like a miniature scepter!

Although the mystery lock corresponding to the mystery key is just a miniature mystery lock used to protect a small library, it has almost no functional similarity with the mystery lock here.

But it gave Xia Duo a lot of inspiration. At least he found the open interface of the secret lock here.

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo already knew how to answer, "Master Byron, I finally found out that there are similar magic items on the second layer of the magic network by comparing the arrangement details of the magic network strings here to interact with the users. The open interface of its own link, I think it may be connected to the control core of the mystery\\b.

Then, Xia Duo explained in detail how he compared the details of the arrangement of massive magic network strings in different internal and external magic network environments. This is purely a physical job!

If it were an ordinary mage, he might be able to get the same answer by accumulating manpower and collecting and analyzing a large amount of data.

But as long as there are people like Xia Duo with super memory ability, they can "cache" a large amount of information in their consciousness for instant comparison, and then conduct an overall inductive analysis. A single person can accomplish this, which requires the coordination of a large number of ordinary mages. Completed tasks.

In the words of the earth, at this moment, Xia Duo has the ability to analyze big data at the thinking level, in which memory as a "cache" is crucial.

Without a strong memory, he would not be able to conduct real-time comparisons of a large amount of information in his consciousness at the same time. If he could not do it at the same time, he would need to use time to make up for it.

Theoretically, only an ordinary mage can complete these tasks, but it is difficult to estimate the time.

In the same way, any big data analysis on the earth can be done by a single human being in any related field, but the problem is still efficiency and time.

Of course, without those gains from [Projection Plane·Dark Region], then Shado would really be able to compare the almost endless data purely violently, which would be impossible to complete in a short time.

Guidance and inspiration are very important, allowing him to avoid nearly 99% of useless work. This probably also confirms the famous saying on earth that "one percent of inspiration is more important."

…

Byron couldn't help but laugh at Chateau's simple and crude approach. He never thought that the mystery lock could be discovered and cracked in this way!

Based on Xia Duo's approach, he even thought that if all the details of the magic network strings within the scope of the mystery lock could be analyzed completely, then the mystery lock would have no secrets!

But the workload of this cracking method is extremely huge, so huge that it far exceeds human imagination. Perhaps only God has such ability!

From this perspective, doesn’t this Lord of Shado possess the potential of a god?

Byron thought about what Severington and even the whole of Netheril had been busy with recently, and his eyes towards Shado changed again.

"Lord Xia Duo, I didn't expect you to come up with such a method and succeed. It's really beyond my expectation!"

"I just did a little repetitive work, but I can't compare with your extraordinary wisdom, master!" Sha Duo said modestly.

Habitual self-effacement has become his instinct, stemming from his upbringing in his hometown. Of course, he is quite proud of being so self-effacing that he can be so surprised by a great arcanist.

It is human nature, and Xia Duo is not exempt from vulgarity. At the same time, he does not reject it. If a person loses these emotions, he cannot be called a human being. As long as it does not interfere with normal cognition and behavior, it is not a bad idea to adjust it occasionally.

…

"Just a little?"

Byron did not delve into this issue, but talked about his own discovery, “First of all, this is indeed Lake Macht, not a different world, there is no doubt about it.

"The second is the problem of time and space. This problem is very complicated. To put it simply, this place is similar to a large-scale breeding water area with time acceleration. As long as the mystery lock is not lifted, fish-men will continue to pour out of Macht. The lake, if left alone, is not impossible to fill up the Narrow Sea!”

Lake Macht leads all the way north to the Narrow Sea in the north. When Shado was in Severton, he once looked at the Narrow Sea from a distance, and also cast a scrying spell to see the other side of the Narrow Sea.

But unfortunately, he couldn't do it. It's not that he couldn't do it at all, but the perception field couldn't be projected too far away.

If you only observe from a high-altitude perspective, you can theoretically see the other side, but clouds and water vapor are the biggest obstacles to your vision.

According to records in some travel books, it would take a full day and night to reach the other shore by boat from Severton to the north, traveling at full speed (in a straight line, with the wind and paddling).

This may seem like a short time, but it is already half the distance from the southern border to Rodney Territory, the southernmost tip of the core area. However, the inland river is winding, making it difficult to sail at full speed, and it is impossible to sail at night, so it will take nearly two months.

As an inland sea, the Narrow Sea is not actually "narrow". It is at least much wider than the Yangtze River in Xia Duo's hometown. Xia Duo's home is not far from the river and he can often see the Yangtze River. He is deeply aware of this. Feelings.

If there were enough murlocs to fill up the Narrow Sea, then the number would be sky-high!

Somehow, Xia Duo suddenly thought of the biochemical crisis. Such a huge number may not be able to breed special and powerful zombie individuals similar to those seen in movies and TV shows on Earth.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "The elves also live in the main plane, aren't they worried about the fish-men losing control?"

But as soon as he asked this question, he felt a little naive. There was almost no conflict between elves and fishmen in terms of living space. One was in the forest and the other was in the water. Not to mention that the first one was Netheril, not more. The elven kingdoms in the distance.

Of course, if you want to go deeper, it is possible that the elves behind the scenes may not have the corresponding control methods to accomplish such a thing. (It’s most likely an elf, with Cormanso being the most suspicious, and both Chateau and Byron acquiescing to it)

This reminds Xia Duo of his previous speculation that the waterweed may be some kind of special nerve cord. As for going deeper, there is too much information missing to make it difficult to speculate.

But Shado realized that the murloc tide may not really be the murloc tide, nor may it mean that they really want to cause trouble in Netheril, or that causing trouble is not the main purpose.

Maybe the mastermind behind the scenes has a deeper purpose.
