Chapter 1273 Everything is ready and only owes the east wind
The magic web link of any magic item or magic circle is essentially to cast the spell involved in the magic item or magic circle in another form.

At this moment, Xia Duo wants to link the magic net for the [long-lasting, space-covering evasion detection circle], in fact, he wants to cast an evasion detection spell higher than level 9.

It's just that compared to direct casting, due to the automatic recovery tendency of the magic net, the caster needs to do it in one go, but when linking to the magic net, it is not necessary.

Xia Duo had considered in the design stage of the magic circle, decomposing the energy circuit into several branch systems that are relatively independent but can be integrated together through sympathy according to the elements of the spell.

Each branch system can be individually linked to the magic net, which greatly reduces the difficulty of casting spells. Otherwise, making such a magic circle higher than the 9th ring will definitely be much more difficult than casting spells directly.

Soon, each branch system was lit up one by one, literally - in the magic vision, each area of ​​the magic circle began to emit bright magic aura.

At this time, Xia Duo almost held his breath. Up to this point, he has not made any mistakes, and the next step is the final unification branch.

When the final node was opened, the raging energy began to pour out from the magic net, and it continued to flow in and out of the various branch systems of the magic circle, and the strings of the magic net that were connected to it and participated in it also began to spread. An extremely dazzling magical aura.

Due to the short design time of the magic circle, Xia Duo didn't spend too much energy on hiding the aura, but fortunately the magic circle itself was designed to avoid detection, and no abnormalities could be seen outside the cube space.

……

After linking the magic net, Xia Duo casually threw a marked piece of paper on the ground, and then exited the cube space through the portal channel dug in before, and went to the big cave outside.

Xia Duo first took a look at the golden cubic space under the lighting of [Light Art], and the piece of paper on the ground was also clearly visible. Then, he stared at the piece of paper and cast the scrying spell.

Next, a miraculous scene appeared——

No matter the scouting spell targeting the marked piece of paper, or the scouting spell targeting the area of ​​the cave, they couldn't find the marked piece of paper that was clearly in front of them.

The former is "there is no such thing", while in the latter's perception field, there is not even that cubic space, only a portal-shaped passage dug from the side wall of the cave to the inside of the mountain.

The innermost part of the tunnel is clear to Xia Duo's naked eyes as a shining cubic space, but in the perception field of the detection spell, there is nothing, it is blank.

But a blank space is not good either. If someone happens to detect this cave and find this passage, and there is nothing in the passage, they may be able to detect the anomaly.

Therefore, a few more tests were carried out, and after confirming that the evasion detection circle met the design requirements, Xia Duo began to backfill the passage.

With the waste rock from the previous digging, this step is very simple.

First use the force field wall to block the entrance of the cube space and the other end of the channel, then fill the channel with waste, fill the gap with water, and then use a petrochemical field to solidify it.

As for the traces left on the cave wall on one side, Xia Duo also found gravel and dust from other places in the cave to modify it. With the "drow assassin" camouflage technique, only from the surface, there are almost no flaws.

The only flaw is the aura remnant left by the petrification magic, but this is not a fatal flaw, he will be teleported to the cube space inside later!
Teleportation will also leave a remnant of aura (the essence is the distortion of the magic net, which can be used to track the purpose of the transmission). As long as you wait for a while, the aura will naturally be automatically erased by the recovery trend of the magic net.

……

Now that everything is ready, Xia Duo is not going to stay outside anymore. He first blesses himself with [Surrounding Wind] to ensure that he will not hang up because there is no source of air in the cubic space.

After that, he checked the situation in the big cave for the last time, and after making sure that there were no obvious traces left, he teleported into the cubic space.

A cubic space with a length, width, and height of about three meters is a bit cramped for a large living person, but it is not unbearable.

Before actually doing it, Xia Duo still needs to complete the [Summon-Seal] magic circle. Even if this thing hides in a secret room that avoids detection, it only has one chance, including the link to the magic net in the production process. Inside.

Because there are too many variables in the failure of linking to the magic net, there is no guarantee that Comanso will not be aware of it.

Next, Xia Duo paid more attention to this point, if he made another mistake, he would be depressed to death.

A person who travels a hundred miles is halfway to ninety, and he must be more cautious at the end.

……

Whether it was due to luck, caution, or Xia Duo's perfect design and production, the [Summon-Seal] circle was completed without any risk.

As for the test, there is no test. Xia Duo is actually not very sure about the sale of the hammer. He is betting that the crowned king of Cormanthor will have no defense against the summoning of the Excalibur.

After all, [Sword of Ruler] has been in the hands of the other party since the casting was completed. If it is the second generation crown king, it is possible, but the first generation should not spend too much thought on a secret that only you know.

Anyway, it's a no-cost business, and it's a big profit to be able to summon it. Even if it can't be summoned, it will at least make Cormanthor crowned king suspicious and let the empire's survivors breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

This is also very beneficial for Xia Duo to obtain the resurrection spell.

If the remnants of the empire were wiped out on the first day of entering the projection plane, then he would not know where to start if he wanted to obtain the resurrection spell.

……

North of Comanso, Dragon's Back Mountains.

Xia Duo projected the perception field directly above the underground passage at an altitude of [-] meters, and the light on the ground traveled tens of thousands of meters into the perception field and was received by Xia Duo.

It's vague, but not fruitless.

At least he can be sure that there have been no changes in the terrain near the underground passage, which shows that there is a high probability that the raid by the remnants of the empire has not yet occurred.

Then, Xia Duo slowly dropped the perception field towards the ground, just like an invisible eye, quietly approaching the target.

With the landing of the perception field, the perception information received by Xia Duo, especially the information of the passing light in the distance, becomes more and more clear.

After a while, he "saw" very clearly the separated trees on the ground and the elf sentry hidden in the woods.

At this point, Xia Duo decisively stopped the decline of the perception field, and just watched from a distance, until the spell ended, he failed to wait for the surprise attack of the remnants of the empire.
