Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1672 Guessing the nature of ectoplasm experiment
However, the time needed to test the existence of the spirit of the communication magic weapon is uncertain, so Xia Duo didn't ask Niya to help, but called someone from the Jin Society to help.

The method is also very simple. Similar to the previous test of contact distance, Xia Duo continuously ordered the communication instrument to send numbers to the tester, starting from 1, sending one number at a time until the other party could not receive any information.

It is conceivable that if this virtual spirit exists for a little longer, Niya may spend the next few days on it, and Xia Duo does not want to delay her time at this time.

However, the real situation is somewhat different from what Xia Duo expected. He originally thought that the duration of the virtual spirit's existence would at least be calculated in "days".

But unexpectedly, less than an hour later, Kent, a member of the Advancement Society who came to cooperate with the test, raised his right hand in frustration, and said to Xia Duo: "President, the information has stopped."

"So fast?"

"Yes!" Kent forced a smile and replied.

If it was later, the points he could get for entering the society would be quite considerable, but now he is lucky to get 10 points.

"President, do you still want to test?"

"No, go back."

Xia Duo is now thinking about the essence of Ta Ling, and he didn't notice Kent's almost resentful expression, so he asked Ta Ling to give him 10 points and drove him away.

……

in the laboratory.

Xia Duo looked at the crystal clear core of the distorted phantom in the palm of his hand. Nearly a hundred facets made this transparent bead the size of an eyeball, even in a soft light environment like a laboratory, still able to reflect a dazzling brilliance.

"A mage tower only needs three pieces, and I have to use up one piece for one experiment, which is too wasteful!"

Xia Duo looked left and right, feeling quite reluctant, but the twisted phantom core couldn't be disassembled, and could only be used as a whole. He didn't know if the predecessors had encountered this kind of situation, but he was really embarrassed.

"I don't want the child to be unable to trap the wolf, do it!"

In any case, Xia Duo must know the essence of the tower spirit. A mere twisted phantom core can be used if it is used, not to mention that it is not for nothing. It is also useful.

Similar to knowing the general direction first, and then attacking the details in a targeted manner, if the understanding of the tower spirit is only superficial, then you can only use the most time-consuming and laborious brute force cracking.

The efficiency of the former may not be able to catch up with the latter.

……

Now that the decision was made, Xia Duo quickly acted.

He took out another enlightenment scroll and unfolded it, but this time he did not activate it directly as before, but held a twisted phantom core, using it as the source of the spell to activate.

As the spell took effect, Xia Duo once again felt his consciousness turn into a puddle of water overflowing from his mind, and at the same time, a cloud of white aura also spread from his body.

Only this time, after the aura spread out, it was immediately absorbed by the core of the twisted phantom in his palm, and then Xia Duo felt his palm was empty, and the core of the twisted phantom, which was still tangible, suddenly became invisible.

Merging with the aura, according to his will, he quickly wrapped around the second-generation communication magic weapon in front of his body, and penetrated it as before.

But this time, unlike the last time when he didn't feel anything, Xia Duo felt that his consciousness had extended into the communication instrument, and the communication instrument seemed to have become a tissue and an organ of his body.

This feeling is really hard to describe with words alone, and now he truly understands what Nya's perception of Taling is like.

Of course, this is only at the level of perception. When it comes to reality, what he can do with the communication magic weapon has not increased in any way compared to just now.

In other words, apart from controlling the communication instrument to display its own functions, Xia Duo cannot control it to fly, move, or do anything else.

This is also easy to understand. Creating a "spirit" can be compared to refining a certain object, facility, or building in a novel about cultivating immortals. If the thing itself does not have a certain ability, it will be refined even if it is refined. Born out of thin air.

"This is really—realistic enough!"

Xia Duo secretly sighed, and then he looked happy. It is indeed realistic enough. Three twisted phantom cores are enough to create a spirit of a mage tower. How can one twisted phantom core be completely consumed in creating a "communication magic weapon spirit"? Woolen cloth!
After the spell ended, the core of the distorted phantom that was integrated into the unknown aura unexpectedly separated out again, still appearing in the form of multi-faceted crystal beads, but the volume had shrunk by nearly half compared to before.

There is a saying in my hometown called "Delong Wangshu".

Xia Duo was mentally prepared to consume all the core of this twisted phantom, but he didn't expect to leave half of it for him, which made him greedy to use the amount of spirit quality consumed by the mage tower and the communication magic weapon. compared.

I thought it would be better to keep a little more!
However, Xia Duo quickly corrected his mentality. It would be nice to have enough left over. Of course, after the Enlightenment Scroll is completely cracked, we may be able to find a way to optimize spells and reduce consumption, but that is a later stage. That's it.

……

Next, Xia Duo briefly tested the second-generation communication instrument with a permanent "Qi Ling", and after confirming that it was completely indistinguishable from the previous functions and controls, he focused his research on the "Qi Ling" itself.

In Xia Duo's view, this kind of "artifact spirit" can respond to the master's order, it must be intelligent, if it is a Nether person, it may not be too inquisitive, but Xia Duo knows very well——

Such intelligence must have an underlying database, otherwise where does the relevant cognition come from?

For example, if you ask Taling where a certain book is, if Taling wants to answer or take action, you must first be able to understand the book, secondly the location, and then be able to distinguish the target book from other books and locate it accurately.

It simply doesn't work without a huge underlying database.

The same is true for Xia Duo's current "spiritual" communication instrument. He ordered the other party to send a message to Niya during the test, but he did not tell the communication instrument who Niya was, or he did not set up in advance how the "artifact spirit" judges the target .

Then how did this "tool spirit" know who Niya was?

Xia Duo speculates that this "artifact spirit" either inherits certain cognition and behavior patterns of the caster, or calls the master's cognition and behavior patterns in real time.

Apart from these two possibilities, he really couldn't think of any other possibilities!
Is it just based on the [Enlightenment Technique], which has a pitifully small amount of information compared to the underlying database?
Xia Duo is almost 100% sure that [Enlightenment of Wisdom] is not directly related to the information contained in the underlying database of "Qi Ling".
