Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1522
Finally, Xia Duo came to one of the former seven laboratories, but it was a pity that the place was already in ruins. Here, he really saw the demiplane that Brod had mentioned unexpectedly.

It should be said that Iolum is worthy of being Iolum, even an experimental accident can be controlled so properly.

Unlike the ruins of Innocent's Mage Tower, the half-plane here is still intact, but it completely overlaps with the main plane, and at the same time lost its boundary for some reason, making the outside of this laboratory also affected.

But it should still be recyclable in the future.

After passing this laboratory, Xia Duo doesn't need Broad to lead the way. On the one hand, this area belongs to the core area. Even if the original space is expanded, there are not many roads left.

On the other hand, it is even more critical. Xia Duo has already found the reason for the temporary passage. Some of it is indeed artificially opened, but a considerable part should be caused by creating this dead zone of the magic net.

If the normal magic net environment surrounded by the dead zone is regarded as the body of the octopus, then these temporary passages are the arms and legs of the octopus.

Maybe it's because the technology is immature, or because of other reasons, the magic net environment in the temporary passage is actually not much better than the dead zone.

I just don't know what happened to the magic net environment in the experimental area!

……

Soon, Xia Duo came to another one of the seven laboratories of the independent Austrian fire device project. In the process of approaching, the environment of the magic net became more and more active.

Until coming outside the laboratory, the magic net environment here is not much different from the outside world.

With a "creak", the door of the laboratory suddenly opened, and Iolum walked out from inside with a weary expression. After seeing Xia Duo, his eyes were obviously radiant with surprise:

"Xia Duo, you are finally here!"

"Sorry for keeping the teacher waiting for too long." Xia Duo bowed slightly.

"Let's get started, we're running out of time!"

not much time?

Xia Duo immediately thought of the mysterious Comanthor organization mentioned by the other party when he met with Hilda Lanna before coming to Severton, and his heart suddenly tightened.

At this moment, Xia Duo felt something was stuffed in his hand. He looked down and saw that it was a thick booklet. When he looked up again, Brod was taking his hand away from him.

"This is the record of the two experiments where you were not there."

"Ah."

Xia Duo nodded, and put away the experiment records. Originally, he was going to ask Iolum why time was running out, but he was interrupted by this, and he couldn't ask for a moment.

Fortunately, after entering the laboratory, Iolum had to explain the current state of the environment first. Only then did Shado know that the short time that Iolum said was not caused by external factors, but that this dead zone was about to fail. up.

According to Iolum, the dead zone here is indeed not the real magic net dead zone, but a special environment created by simulating the dead zone.

However, the simulated dead zone is also a dead zone, and it will continue to assimilate the normal magic net environment, which requires continuous consumption of a large amount of arcane energy to resist this assimilation trend, but the resistance has a limit.

And there is one more deadly point, that is the dead zone itself, if it is not released for a long time, it is very likely to be transformed into a real dead zone.

Of course, it's not the kind of silent and natural transformation, but there will be a violent scene similar to the collapse of the mythos.

Alternatively, this simulated temporary dead zone can be regarded as an unstable mystic, which will disintegrate as soon as the time is up. At that time, in addition to the big scene of the magic net riot, it is very likely that the dead zone will also be formed.

The Austrian Law Federation lost a large number of laboratories this time, and all of them were well equipped in the core area. Iolum has already taken a lot of risks, at least it is certain to compensate the Federation for its losses.

It is impossible for him to let this temporary dead zone become a real dead zone.

"Although the Grand Arcanist himself has not spoken out yet, many directors have already raised doubts. The relevant experiments must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise the completion of the project may be delayed for a long time."

Iolum's words also made Xia Duo feel a sense of urgency. After a little thinking, he can understand that it is already April, and there will be a snowmelt competition in May, and there will be meetings of the Northland Alliance almost every month after that.

Although it is not necessarily necessary for Iolum to be present, when it comes to the magic restriction proposal specifically for Netheril, it is definitely impossible for Iolum to be an outsider.

The experimental environment (dead zone) here is almost entirely set up by Iolum alone, and the process is cumbersome. If I miss this time, Iolum may not be able to spare time for a long time.

Or you can forcefully carry the monitoring magic of the elves, and conduct experiments as before, but then you will face possible temptations and even destruction by the elves, and at the same time, it will also add variables to the meeting of the Northern Alliance.

The best result now is nothing more than completing the project before May. If it goes well, it can even develop a set of war spells specially used with the independent Austrian fire device.

Only then will Netheril have the confidence to say no to Cormanthor's unreasonable demands at the Northland Alliance meeting.

What Xia Duo can think of at this moment, perhaps Iolum has already thought of it, no wonder Iolum uncharacteristically urged him several times a few days ago, time is really tight!

Thinking of this, Xia Duo unconsciously tensed up his nerves.

……

In the following days, as long as it does not affect the spellcasting, Xia Duo devoted himself to the project almost without sleep.

From the construction of the device, to the verification and inspection, to the "ignition" of the device, the collection of Austrian fire, and even the "shutdown" of the safety, adjustment and improvement, Xia Duo did not miss any process.

He can even intervene in changing the laboratory and re-stabilizing the magic net environment in the experimental area.

Such desperate efforts almost frightened Iolum, and several times privately arranged for Xia Duo to rest, but Xia Duo refused.

As for the others, they were all amazed at Xia Duo's extraordinary energy, and Brod even bluntly said that Xia Duo was hardly human.

For this, Xia Duo did not explain much. Since the awakening of the blood, he probably has nothing to do with the term normal human beings.

As long as he doesn't do strenuous exercise or cast spells frequently, even if he doesn't eat, drink, or sleep for three days and three nights, he won't feel hungry or tired at all!
If they [stay in the world], they can even recover quickly, but it's just inconvenient to perform in front of Iolum and others.

The reason why he had to fight so hard was that on the one hand, his body was able to hold on, and on the other hand, he wanted to spare some time to study war spells.

Netheril did not say that the front is tight and the back is the back, but similar principles are not difficult to understand and accept.

Driven by Xia Duo, the efficiency of other people has also been greatly improved, especially Brod, if it is not for Iolum, it is still useful, and it will even evolve into a battle of spirits that insist on not resting.
