Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1265 Entering the Imperial Ruins and Digging Your Own Grave

The so-called ruins of the empire, in fact, should be more accurately said to be the area of ​​the magic net riots caused by the collapse of the border enchantment.

After nearly a hundred years, it still hasn't calmed down, but a considerable part of the area has become a dead zone of the magic net. Non-arcanist spellcasters entering it are like fish out of water, without the slightest ability to cast spells.

Xia Duo is now a senior arcanist, so after entering the projection plane, he is just an ordinary archmage, and it is basically impossible to create an arcane fire.

Therefore, after entering the riot area of ​​the magic net, he flew carefully close to the ground, so as not to be too fast, accidentally rushing into the dead zone of the magic net, unable to stop, and falling to death.

But even so, he felt a deep resistance.

Different from his mystical ruins in the territory of the main plane, the stable field at the level of 5 rings is enough to create an environment suitable for personal spellcasting. If you are very familiar with the operation mechanism of the magic string, you can just Even though it is only temporary, it is worth using to directly smooth down the magic net of the riot.

And here—

He is advancing with the [Anti-Magic Domain] of the 8th ring. This spell is also a stable field in essence, but it is far superior to the 5th ring level spell stabilization field in terms of energy level and adaptability.

Without this spell, he would be unable to move a single step.

……

Not long after entering the area of ​​the Demon Net Riot, Xia Duo stopped. He found that in his current state, it was simply unrealistic to fly to Sevington within ten days.

What's more, it is impossible for him to spend all ten days on the road.

After a little thought, he chose to fly upwards. If he encounters the dead zone of the magic net, he can continue to fly after falling, just change the direction.

And if he doesn't encounter the dead zone of the magic net, then he will always fly out of the riot zone of the magic net.

Flying and flying, Xia Duo discovered the law of the magic net riot area - the higher the level of the riot, the lower the level of riots, until nearly a thousand meters above the sky, the level of the magic net riots is only about the same as the background fluctuations of the magic net.

Arriving here, Xia Duo knew that he could reach Severton quickly.

He already knew the coordinates of Severton, and he only needed to change the parameters a little, and set the teleportation destination to be more than a kilometer above Severton.

This is very simple, even without much calculation process, Xia Duo quickly completed the transmission.

As soon as I lowered my head, I saw the coastline stretching below, and the Strait Mountains stretching across the center of the Narrow Sea and dividing the Narrow Sea into two.

As for Sevington, under the cover of countless chaotic magic, it is not very clear from a high altitude, but the desolation of its ruins can also be seen.

In the process of descending, Xia Duo proceeded very slowly, unlike when ascending he could ignore the dead zone of the magic net, but when descending he had to pay attention.

You know, the current him has nothing to do with the dead zone of the magic net. If it's too late to slow down and fall directly to the ground, it would be too funny.

It really became "die before leaving the teacher"!

In fact, Xia Duo's prudence was not wasted. Sevington on the main plane had a large number of magic facilities, especially on the Arcane Empire side, and the magic net riots caused by this were more serious than other areas.

Correspondingly, the magic net dead zone here appears more frequently than other areas!

Of course, for the caster, there is almost no difficulty in judging the dead zone of the magic net.

If the normal environment of the magic net is compared to water, then the strings of the magic net are the water molecules in it, and the specific spells, magic items, or magic facilities are the ice crystals mixed in it.

Mysuo, on the other hand, is a large block of ice.

As long as you know the concept of these things and master the skills of observation, it is not difficult to find their existence and their differences.

In Xia Duo's eyes (magic vision), the magic net glows with a faint light blue light like water, the riot area of ​​the magic net is darker, more chaotic, and changes faster, while the dead quiet area has almost no light at all.

……

After avoiding the last dead area of ​​the magic net, which was only more than 20 meters high, Xia Duo quickly came to the ground, and the feeling of stepping on the ground made him feel very at ease.

But now is not the time for real peace of mind, and this is not a place of peace of mind.

It is useless to hide in the magic net riot area. Xia Duo just disguised himself and changed into Layton's appearance, and went directly to the second magic academy he is most familiar with.

……

Outside the Second Academy of Magic, some traces of the original place could be vaguely recognized. The magic facilities were the most severely damaged by the magic net riots. As for the ordinary facilities, if they were not hit by chaotic magic, they could still be maintained.

Xia Duo is standing in front of a stele with only half of the text left. If the stele is intact, it should have the words "Empire Second Academy of Magic" written on it, but now it is barely recognizable. "Naishi text.

Seeing this, Xia Duo really felt as if he had passed away. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, instead of exploring inside the academy, he walked away from the academy.

While walking, he was also retracing the memories of when he entered [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] in the past.

"Today is here, if nothing unexpected—"

Walking through a corner that has become ruins, Xia Duo stopped and performed a large-scale gravity reversal. In an instant, a large amount of dust and stones began to "fall" upward slowly.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo's face was calm and unmoved, but the next moment, when he saw the familiar set of robes, a complicated expression that seemed to sigh and sad appeared on his face.

The next moment, the anti-gravity field disappeared, and the dust, stones, and the bone wrapped in the familiar robe crashed down, and everything was buried again.

"It's really strange to dig a grave for yourself!"

Xia Duo shook his head, as if he wanted to shake all those complicated emotions out of his mind. He really didn't expect that Eddie's remains could be found here.

Eddie was his incarnation when he entered [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] last time.

This also means that this projection plane is the continuation of the last one, and it is certain that the starting point of the time loop is after Eddie's death, not before.

If it was before, then Eddie's remains would not appear here, because this was the last place where Xia Duo's body returned to the main plane.

That is, after his consciousness left, Eddie died, either by being stoned to death, or by some chaotic magic, but it didn't matter.

Xia Duo took one last look at Eddie's burial place, then quickly turned and left.

……

Returning to the entrance of the Second College, Xia Duo directly entered it, and went straight to the library. Last time he was here, due to various reasons, he hadn't been able to read all the books.

He is very sure that the books here contain knowledge that is very precious to him now.
