Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1278 Samuel Repeats His Mistakes
Laboratory No. 003 on the second floor of the base.

After Ross brought Xia Duo here, he left directly, leaving Xia Duo alone waiting in the reception room outside the laboratory.

Almost half an hour later, the door of the laboratory opened with a bang. Although Xia Duo's body was not his body, the influence of his bloodline still affected this body through his soul.

He could vaguely perceive the sudden acceleration of the gas inside and outside the laboratory, and then, an old man with silver hair and a trace of confusion walked out of it.

"I have met Vice President Samuel." Xia Duo hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

While combing the somewhat chaotic strings of the magic net around his body, the old man looked at Xia Duo with interest: "You are Mecad? The one who discovered the underground passage?"

"Yes."

"Ah."

Samuel nodded, and didn't delve into the issue further, "What about the plan? Show it to me!"

Xia Duo quickly handed over the two manuscripts, and explained: "The above is a new spell, which can support the existing communication and teleportation spells, and the following is my personal idea, please dean. My lord correct me."

"Two copies?"

Samuel took the manuscript casually, and when he heard Xia Duo's introduction, he couldn't help showing surprise, but then his attitude became a little colder, "There is no reason for me to use quantity to fill the number!"

After speaking, he opened the manuscript and only read the first page. Samuel once again showed a surprised expression. At first he just took a tentative attitude. What kind of improvement suggestions can the field personnel put forward for the relatively mature positioning technology.

Even the reward for allowing Mecad to enter the research institute was only because of the consistent tradition of sending people to the research institute.

But when Samuel saw the first page of the manuscript, he knew he might be wrong, that there might be someone who had been left out.

On the first page of the manuscript, the handwriting is clear and well-organized. Just looking at the overview part, he resonated with the pain points of the teleportation mage, and had a strong expectation for the so-called [communication, teleportation management spell].

Regardless of whether the spell was feasible or not, at least at this moment, Samuel recognized Mecad's writing ability.

Continuing to read, there is a concise and clear graphical expression of arcane geometry in the manuscript.

These graphics may be difficult for ordinary mages to understand, but for Samuel, a senior arcanist, understanding these graphics is as simple as eating and drinking water.

Even after reading the graphic expression of the arcane geometry of the spell, Samuel has unconsciously practiced it in the reception room.

Seeing the situation, Xia Duo didn't disturb the other party, but began to observe the other party's spellcasting process seriously. Even on the main plane, no senior arcanist would be willing to get so close to demonstrate the spellcasting for him.

Xia Duo noticed that when Samuel cast a spell, the order of the elements of the spell was different from his own. After a little thought, he understood that in order to reduce the casting time of the spell as much as possible, the opponent did not shape the energy circuit of the spell itself, but rather It is to draw energy directly from the magic net.

After that, follow the order of energy flow and cast spells one by one, just like paving the road without paying attention to the roller, just filling the material in front.

Xia Duo, on the other hand, filled the pavement material first, and then rolled it with a road roller.

There is no doubt that Xia Duo's spellcasting is more stable. Even if he makes a mistake, he can generally control the consequences relatively easily, so as not to cause too serious spellcasting accidents;
And Samuel is fast, but this has extremely high requirements on the caster's spellcasting skills and understanding of spells. More importantly, if he makes a mistake, the consequences may be beyond his control.

Xia Duo compared the two styles, which can be said to be diametrically opposite spellcasting methods, and finally believed that safety was more important.

He prefers to use spell-casting tools to cast spells and eliminate the chance of errors caused by human factors as much as possible. This should become the mainstream of magic civilization.

It would be too wasteful to let mages with research ability and production ability go to the front line.

"Sure enough, we still need a full-time war mage!"

In fact, field personnel like "Mecade" are war mages in a sense, but the current imperial survivors simply cannot organize a large-scale counterattack of the legion, and can only use individual teams to harass Comanthor.

If there is no underground passage provided by Xia Duo to contact Zall to open the situation, even if there is Ilfaran's support, the current situation will be somewhat improved. After all, even if Ilfaran supports it, it is unlikely to directly send a large number of troops to fight Cormanthor.

It is nothing more than material and technical support.

If the remnants of the empire beat Cormanthor to the ground, Ilfaran might be ready to backstab the next moment.

……

After a while, Samuel had verified the [Transmission and Communication Management Spells] provided by Xia Duo, and when he looked at the next manuscript, he had another expectation.

"What could it be?"

Opening the second manuscript, Samuel fell silent after only two pages. It wasn't that he couldn't understand the importance of [Teleportation, Communication Mystery].

But the current empire is simply unable to carry out such a huge project.

And more importantly, the lessons of the former border enchantment are still in front of us. Today's remnants of the empire are cautious about things that they don't fully understand like mythos.

Seeing this manuscript, Samuel thought of a message brought by the Ilfaran messenger not long ago——

Alynthal intends to provide the empire with mythical technology, and transform the current chaotic magic net environment of the empire's ruins into a special kind of mythical, which is used to achieve a strategic balance with Cormanthor.

If the above agrees, Ilfaron will send high-level mages to participate in the construction of the mythos, and during the construction of the mythos, they will assist in the defense and counterattack of Cormanthor.

"Ugh--"

Samuel shook his head suddenly, put away the two manuscripts, and then said to Xia Duo: "[Teleportation, Communication Management Spell] is very practical, it is enough for you to complete the entry task and get the treatment of a level 1 researcher, of course because of your There is no advanced arcanist yet, and the rank can only be set as an assistant researcher. Even I can't change this.

"As for your little idea, just pretend that you have never thought about it, and don't mention it to anyone in the future. Not everyone is as easy-talking as I am!"

Hearing Samuel's words, Xia Duo was overjoyed at first, but then he was surprised again. He never doubted that [Teleportation, Communication Management Spells] would allow him to pass the task.

After all, in his opinion, the task was to test whether "Mecad" had basic research capabilities. Did the higher-ups really expect him, a field worker, to make any major improvements?

As for the Mysia matter, Samuel’s words had a strong sense of warning, and Xia Duo soon realized that the empire died from Mysia (border enchantment), how could it be possible to repeat the same mistakes now?
"It's my fault!"

Xia Duo quickly expressed his gratitude to Samuel, but Samuel didn't care about it. He summoned Ross again and ordered: "Take Mecad to the laboratory authorization certification, and the treatment of a level 1 researcher."

"Yes."
