Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1418 Completion of the authentic product of the chaotic circle
As for how to verify whether the soul was collected, it was very simple. On the way back to the Arcane Federation, he put the soul-absorbing amulet into the portable space.

The moment the soul talisman entered the portable space, a total of six light spots, one big and five small, flew out of the amulet, blasting out six tiny planes in the space, and then quickly disappeared.

As a result, the portable space has been expanded a bit.

Compared with the souls of intelligent creatures, the quality of the souls of these sheep, chickens and ducks is really far worse!
It's just that this act of collecting and consuming souls may be easier to hate the Lord of Death than the resurrection spell. Fortunately, they are all non-intelligent creatures, otherwise Xia Duo would really not want to repeat this experiment!
……

The next improvement idea is very clear.

On the one hand, the basic function of the Soul Binding Technique has been determined, and the next step is to add the rest of the steps required for resurrection, such as collecting blood to prevent the corpse from being destroyed or not being repaired in time, and the teleportation function can also be added to ensure that the soul is safe.

On the other hand, it is to fix some unnecessary defects, such as the effect of the Soul Binding on the living creatures around the user of the talisman attunement, the problem of spell interference with multiple functions, and so on.

Xia Duo didn't design and make the soul-absorbing talisman just for those subordinates who were about to participate in the blood trial. There was another very important reason, and that was——

The soul talisman can be an important specialty of the Tower of Time!
For now, resurrection is still a benefit that only a small number of people can enjoy, but after the emergence of the magic version of resurrection, more people will have the opportunity to enjoy this benefit.

Cooperating with the industrialization process of magic items, this will be a great income fulcrum.

And compared to the financial income, the influence brought by this miraculous spell of resurrection is also extremely amazing!

What Xia Duo wants to do in the future not only requires a large population and a large amount of money, but also requires extremely high influence. Otherwise, the best ending is just to enclose the land and grow up, and cannot make full use of Netheril. A big basic plate.

……

In the days that followed, Xia Duo lived a busy and fulfilling life. On the one hand, he and Iolum would continue the research on the Austrian fire device, and on the other hand, he had to use the limited free time—often late at night ——To perfect the soul talisman.

With the arrival of September, the temperature gradually turned cooler, and the blood trial of the Langas people finally kicked off. Alman and others temporarily stayed in the Gray Eagle Tribe and launched several foreign invasions.

Eliminating hostile forces, plundering food, and plundering people to prepare for winter is not only the prelude to the blood trial, but also the absolute purpose of the blood trial.

Through Fisher's report, as well as the observation results of his own detection spell, Xia Duo has a relatively full understanding of the current living conditions of the Langas people.

The Langas are not good at planting, and most of their food comes from hunting and picking. Every autumn and winter, when there is a shortage of food, war becomes an inevitable outcome.

Either plunder enough food to survive the winter, or reduce the population enough to survive the winter.

Apart from these two, there are few other options.

Many lucky Langarth people came to Netheril, even if they stayed here as slaves, they were unwilling to return to their original hometown.

This shows the cruel life on the plains of Langas.

If it is only based on humanitarian assistance, perhaps teaching the Langas people to develop planting is the most correct solution, but Xia Duo is more willing to believe that only under his leadership, the Langas people can truly live an unimaginable life. good day.

Of course, the difficulty of guiding the Langas people to develop planting is not lower than absorbing the Langas population, and it may actually be even greater.

The development of planting or agriculture will restrict a large number of young and middle-aged labor forces to the land. In that case, the overall strength of the tribe will decline greatly (hunting, fighting and increasing force).

Even if there is a harvest, if you can't beat the surrounding nomadic tribes, it is tantamount to harvesting for others.

As long as the vast majority of Langas tribes do not give up nomadic pastoralism and switch to agriculture at one time, it will be difficult to develop agriculture on the Langas Plain.

As for (magical) industry after agriculture, it is even more difficult.

The current Langas Plain can be said to have fallen into a vicious circle. The more it develops its military power, the more it falls behind, and the more it lags behind, the less it can give up its development of military power.

All the tribes fought together and then fell together.

If things go on like this, let alone hundreds of years, even thousands or tens of thousands of years, without the addition of external forces, this situation will most likely remain unchanged.

Will there be a "Qin Shihuang" or "Genghis Khan" in Langas?

Xia Duo thinks it is possible, but he is not optimistic about it. By the time the Langas people wake up and move toward unification, the outside world may already be turned upside down.

He is now absorbing the Langas, not only saving them from the current misery, but also promising them a bright and progressive future.

……

In mid-September, the single Austrian fire test of the new Austrian fire plan has been completed, and the next step is the linkage and stability test. The overall plan can be said to have completed [-]% to [-]%.

And Xia Duo's own research on the [Soul Amulet] finally met all his requirements. It is efficient, stable, safe, easy to use, and easy to operate. It can be called a must-have product for home travel.

That night, Xia Duo came to Azure Manor again to conduct the last test before the official production of [Soul Amulet].

The previous four sheep and four cows have long been used in previous test experiments. Not only that, the previous main samples, in addition to cattle and sheep, Xia Duo also used a variety of large and medium-sized animals.

And the protagonist of this last test is the same as the first time, a domestic goat produced in the territory near Severton, and it can be regarded as a beginning and an end.

Xia Duo skillfully put on the [Soul Amulet] for the experimental sheep, and its synchronous amulet, and then summoned the flying sword. He had done the same process countless times in the past month.

Turning off the flying sword of the piercing magic circle activated the extreme speed effect, bringing out a shrill scream, which instantly pierced through the sample's head.

Almost only a second or two later, the aura of the [Soul Amulet] moved slightly, but the magic net around it oscillated sharply. The next moment, the [Soul Amulet] had disappeared from the sample's neck.

"Ava—"

"Yes, my lord."

Aiwa trotted for a while, went to the study room on the second floor of the central villa of the manor, and retrieved a two-finger-sized silver-white [Soul Amulet] with a standard arcane crystal inlaid only at the end.

Xia Duo took the talisman and put it in the portable space. The familiar space expanded, and there was only one soul. Although the chickens and ducks around the sample were too scared to scream, they were indeed still alive.

After that, Xia Duo took out the soul-absorbing amulet and broke it hard. The seemingly solid amulet broke into two pieces, one of which was hollow, and the active blood of the sample was preserved inside.

[Drain Blood] This spell was obtained by Xia Duo from Iolum. It was originally a lethal spell, but after Xia Duo improved it, it became a new medical spell.

Only draw about 10ml of fresh blood at a time.

As for the spell to keep the blood alive, he has already mastered it in the projection plane, and that spell is widely used in the major bases of [Projection Plane Remnants of the Empire].
