Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1075 The Impact of the Glare Ball Accident
Soon, two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Rodite and the others came to the ruins of the mage tower in the southern forest of Janis again.

For this exploration, they have made sufficient preparations. In addition to more and better spiritual talismans, they also followed Xia Duo's suggestion and prepared a number of magic items for lighting.

As for Abner, who was attacked by a mysterious creature the day before yesterday and fell into a coma, he was not absent this time. After the inspection by the High Priest of Radiance in the Severton Great Temple, Abner only suffered a shock to his consciousness, and there was no serious damage.

Of course, such a pretty good result is all due to Abner's two soul talismans hanging around his neck, if not, then the situation might be completely different.

On the square in front of the mage tower.

Together, Rodite and the others consciously cast a force field spell that blocks a wider range. Starting from one point, it continues to expand and advance toward the periphery until it completely covers a large area outside the entrance of the mage tower.

After that, without Xia Duo's reminder, Rodit activated a crystal ball-shaped magic item with hundreds of facets.

Almost instantly, the square illuminated only by hazy light and mist became brighter, and bright light clusters flew out from the cut surface of the crystal ball, and scattered above everyone's heads in the form of a matrix.

This case is naturally a space without any shadows.

"Lord Xiaduo, what do you think of this dazzling orb? I brought four of them! Even if it completely illuminates the inside of the mage tower, it will be fine!"

"It's a good magic weapon, it should be able to isolate the influence of the shadow plane." Through the information sharing of the soul link, Xia Duo couldn't help but praise.

Among the different planes, only the Shadow Plane exists within the Material Plane, or in other words, coexists with the Material Plane, and its connection is far closer than that of the Ether Plane or the Astral Plane.

If it weren't for the tacit understanding of many adults who have the tacit understanding of raising shadow assassins, the alien plane that Nether mages are most accessible and understandable should be the shadow plane.

Most of Xia Duo's understanding of the Shadow Plane is learned from [Projection Plane: Underdark], and those drow are experts in using shadows.

Of course, Nether mages on the main plane, especially those with extraordinary backgrounds, definitely do not lack the understanding of the shadow plane.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case that Xia Duo only mentioned more light sources, and Rodite prepared a number of lighting instruments with the effect of "shadowless lamps".

This obviously means knowing how to deal with shadow creatures!

Even Xia Duo suspected that this special lighting instrument named [Glare Orb] also has the effect of restraining shadow creatures and even shadow assassins other than isolating shadows!
You must know that ordinary shadow creatures can only approach the target through connected shadows, but Xia Duo himself learned the spell of [Shadow Leap] in the Underdark Area.

It is not safe to simply use the "shadowless lamp" to isolate the shadows and prevent shadow creatures. What if shadow creatures or shadow assassins can also perform shadow jumps and sneak out directly from under their feet?

However, Xia Duo didn't deliberately inquire about anything, not to mention that he himself has mastered the method of preventing the shadow assassin, and Rodite alone is still in the spiritual connection with him, and it is inevitable that some inner thoughts will be revealed during the exploration.

As a lighting instrument that needs to be controlled from time to time, as long as Rodite knows the relevant details of [Dazzling Artifact], it will almost certainly let Xia Duo know through the soul link.

In fact, if Xia Duo hadn't been able to analyze subconscious information and control his subconscious divergent information to a certain extent, he would never be willing to share the link with others for the spell of mind link.

It is too easy to leak secrets.

……

I came to the Mage Tower twice before. The entrance is a half-open stone sliding door, but it is almost a dark vortex-like existence.

From the outside, you can only vaguely see some of the internal situation, but it is not detailed.

But this time, with the lighting of Rodite's [Glare Orb], the originally dark entrance became almost transparent, and the situation inside the mage tower also appeared at the entrance in the form of a projection.

The day before yesterday, Xia Duo found out the situation inside the Mage Tower from the perspective of Rodite and others, but now comparing it with the image displayed at the entrance, he suddenly felt like operating a game character to download a copy. (wow copy door~)
That image is nothing else, just the light and shadow changes caused by the internal link or even overlap between the Shadow Plane and the Mage Tower, similar to the feeling of looking into the distance through the distorted hot air above the flames.

It's just that the image of the shadow plane does not cause the picture to be distorted, but the degree of lightness and darkness becomes more significant, so that there are various illusory projections.

After entering the mage tower, the interior is a hall similar to a banquet hall as seen the day before yesterday.

The size is about seven or eight times the cross-section of the Mage Tower, and there are walls and portals around it, which obviously have the same spatial folding effect as the Tower of Time.

There are many stones scattered in the hall, which are obviously broken from a certain whole, as well as the remains of wooden furniture that have long decayed and only have a little shape.

Xia Duo even found a dusty dinner plate in a corner, which was pressed under the stone and bent at almost 90 degrees, but still retained its general shape.

After careful inspection, there are not a few metal objects like dinner plates around.

Perhaps because the dimensional bag cannot be used normally in this relic that overlaps with the etheric plane, it cannot carry so many things.

Or maybe the relic hunters under Rodit didn't care about these things at all, and just took away some of the high-quality goods they thought.

Xia Duo thinks the latter is more likely, because there are traces of rummaging all over the hall, and some things obviously looked like they were picked up first and then thrown away.

There may have been a serious accident in this mage tower, but the overall state of the mage tower is still relatively complete, whether it is still tower-shaped (damaged) from the outside, or the relatively stable space folding state inside, it all shows this. point.

Of course, the impact of the suspected failure of the demiplane experiment has penetrated into almost every corner of the ruins.

As far as the hall at the entrance is concerned, although it is dilapidated at first glance, it is really ordinary, but as long as you look up, you can realize that the impact of the accident is everywhere.

There is no material dome above the hall, but a pale giant curtain like the edge of the foggy area outside, with occasional colorful glimmers of light.

The reason why it is a huge pale screen is because Rodite and the others are extremely far away from the top. If they get close, it will be the same as the hazy light and mist around Rodit and the others.
