Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1242 Reminder of hidden dangers of fan lock
"Lord Hawke, everyone else has already left, what else do you want?"

Hearing this, Hawke's expression quickly became lively. He was very embarrassed by the sudden departure of the people in the Seven Towers just now, and the others seemed to be different from him, which made him even more angry.

For a moment, he was stunned on the spot. He waited until everyone left and Iolum asked, and then he came back to his senses, got up and saluted Iolum, and then said:
"I also ask Master to forgive my disrespectful performance at the meeting just now."

"It's okay, when you live to my age, you won't care about these things."

Although Iolum was dissatisfied with Hawke's behavior of disturbing the order of Netheril without authorization, he didn't have too much prejudice against Hawke himself, let alone the resentment like Badigal and Schom.

However, just before Hawke was about to leave, Iolum still pointedly reminded, "Netheril and the kingdoms of the elves are always two races, only the stronger Netheril is, you can There is more room for development!"

Hawke paused after hearing this, but didn't say anything, just left silently.

……

And on the other side, in the watchtower.

Xia Duo, who had been busy for most of the night but still failed to complete it once, finally had to temporarily give up his plan to finish it overnight, and simply cleaned up and went to sleep.

After breakfast in the morning, he planned to go to Severton to inquire about the news, and then went to the Arcane Federation to use the slightly better facilities of the watchtower to continue to make demon-slaying arrows.

Just as soon as he arrived at the Arcane Federation, he heard many people talking in private about the just-concluded temporary meeting of the Grand Arcanists.

In addition to mentioning the Sevington Mystery, the permission to build the tower, and the negotiation of the Northland Alliance, Xia Duo is most concerned about the results of the investigation into the cause of Cliff's death, and the Seven Towers finally have a statement——

Consider it an accident!
Maybe even Xia Duo himself didn't realize it. When he heard the news, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this matter was also related to him. It would be best if the case could be closed by accident.

Feeling relaxed, he quickly thought about the permission to build the tower. Three days later, he will hand over Harlanside Manor to Lord Harlan. If he can build a mage tower in it, even if it is not now, that would be great .

That would be a safe haven for him in Sevington than in the Austrian and French Federation, and it would be more likely to be armed support.

But after "listening" from many parties, Xia Duo was disappointed to find that what these Arcane Federation mages talked about was really limited, only limited to knowing that "no one can build a mage tower in Severton without the permission of the Seven Towers."

However, the news about the completion of the Severton Mystic just a few days ago surprised him. Before he knew it, Severton also had a Mystic!
Xia Duo confirmed that during this year's snowmelt competition, that is, half a month ago, there were only fanlocks in the southern arena of the new city and a few areas in the old city. He did not expect that it would be completed so soon.

And he didn't even notice when he came to Severton this time!
Thinking in this way, Xia Duo simply walked out of the Austrian Law Federation and came to the Austrian Law Square outside.

There were very few pedestrians in Offa Square in the early morning, but at the entrance of the Severton Council on the opposite side, a group of dwarves gathered at some point, and they didn't know what they were doing.

In this regard, Xia Duo didn't intend to spy too much, especially now that he was disguised by illusion, he just strolled along the edge of the square for a while, and then sat down on a stone bench next to a statue of an Arcanist .

The sun had already risen at this moment, but the area where Xia Duo was located happened to be blocked by the tall stone buildings of the Arcane Federation.

The dividing line between light and shadow is not far from Xia Duo, and it is slowly moving towards him.

After a little distraction, Xia Duo was recalling the mistakes in linking the magic net when he tried to manufacture the demon-slaying arrow last night, and at the same time, according to the principle of the [Amasta Klinaz Eye] spell taught by Master Byron, he was in a state of concentration. Slowly adjust the angle of view.

Soon, the panorama of the magic web above Sevington appeared in his field of vision—magnificent, spectacular, yet exquisite.

The rhythm full of order makes people see at a glance that it is very different from the macro magic net in the normal environment.

Xia Duo looked from the middle sky above Offa Square to the east, and then turned to the north, west, and south one after another, making sure that the Mystic had roughly covered the entire territory of Severton.

It's just that this mystical lock is not like the rumors he heard in the Austrian Federation - it has already been completed!
At least one thing, in Xia Duo's view, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and that is the "senseless" optimization of Misuo.

Ordinary mythos, even if they can't be completely hidden from a macro perspective, at least they won't be so obvious.

To make it difficult for people who don't know about Mysuo to discover the existence of Mysuo even if they have a macroscopic view of the magic net.

But if it is like the current Severton Misuo, even a person who doesn't know much about Misuo, or even the concept of Misuo, can easily detect the abnormality of the macro magic net in this area!

Although he does not know what the cause of the anomaly is, it is obvious that an anomaly is an anomaly.

This is like a vortex suddenly appearing on a sea surface that is normally turbulent back and forth. Even a person who knows nothing about this phenomenon can know that the vortex is abnormal based on the normal sea surface conditions that he has learned in the past.

Is this a fake finish?Or is it that the seven towers are not enough in the construction of the mythos, and the unfinished work is regarded as completed?
In addition, although Mysuo is generally completed, it is not "isotropic" in each area, but different from each other.

Xia Duo is not sure whether this is a deliberate arrangement by the Seven Towers or a technical limitation, but the normal elf fan lock needs to be "isotropic".

It is not to say that there is no focus, but that any place can become a focus, and only need to adjust the relevant permissions.

This is a bit similar to a computer screen, and the user can freely display any content he wants to display anywhere on the screen.

This is an external performance, but the external performance is not the essence, and its inner operation is the core.

Generally speaking, "Mysuo" refers to its function, not its essence. The essence of Mysuo is a complex set of rules running on the magic net.

The functions projected by the rules can naturally be "isotropic" on the "display screen" of "reality".

Combined with the previous lack of "insensitive" optimization, Xia Duo is more inclined to think that the fan lock technology of the Seven Towers is limited, and has adopted some kind of compromise.

This reminded him of the [Border Enchantment] in [Projection Plane Arcane Empire]. Although it is called "Border", it actually covers the entire territory.

The Border Enchantment is a localized application of the Mystic technology. The existence of the Arcane Empire is largely due to [Border Enchantment].

Without border barriers, demons—in fact, elves—could easily invade the territory and launch unlimited sneak attacks.

only.The Arcane Empire was eventually destroyed because of the destruction of the border enchantment.

Xia Duo still remembers the last scene he saw when he left that projection plane, which was the scene where the entire territory was ravaged by the chaotic magic net.

Could Netheril on the main plane also develop to that point?
