Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1946 Indigenous Method Experiment Launcher

As if seeing Xia Duo's doubts, Jay quickly explained: "The things I research basically only involve apprentice-level spells, and even if there are accidents, I can handle them properly.

"As for the internal laboratories on the No. 1 minaret, all the internal laboratories have not been built, and I feel a little sorry for others by occupying one in advance.

"In the end, I hope to stay with my family more. If I am on the No. 1 Spire, I have to go through the portal at least once if I want to come back.

"I have actually studied magic creations to know how expensive it is to use magic facilities. I am a bit reluctant to waste so many resources just to go home."

There are good reasons, but in the final analysis, it is still a matter of resources. The Tower of Time is indeed not at the point where resources can be squandered at will, but it seems a bit unreasonable to let Jay stay at No. 1 Spire.

Moreover, the civilian use of magic, how can we get feedback from ordinary people without contacting ordinary people!

There is actually a hidden message in Jay's words, that is, he is using his family to test magic items that ordinary people can easily use.

Regarding Jay's choice, Xia Duo didn't know what to say for a while, all of this was Jay's own choice, but Xia Duo still wanted to do something.

"Look at the samples first!"

"Ah."

Jay responded, then rummaged on the simple experimental bench, and finally found a circular metal ring from a pile of sundries, about the size of a bowl, with obvious scratches on the surface, filled with some Mithril filaments slightly thinner than straw.

Xia Duo recognized at a glance that those mithril threads should be mithril scraps from the production process of the Tower of Time Magician's Department, which were re-smelted into thicker mithril threads so that they still retain a considerable degree of energy conduction properties.

And the metal ring is just ordinary iron, and there are even some scorched rust on the surface. As for those nicks, Xia Duo has also found the source, which is a fine gold knife placed on the tool rack of the laboratory bench.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help sighing, my good guy, it's really a local method experiment!
"Is it just the hoop?"

Xia Duo could see that the mithril pattern on the surface of the iron ring was related to guiding the fire element, but that was all. It didn't even have magic aura, and it was simply impossible for ordinary people to use it just because of this.

"It's the iron ring, but it's not complete. I put away the real core components."

As he spoke, Jay carefully took out the dimensional bag that Xia Duo specially distributed for him from his arms, and took out a rather delicate looking metal disc from it.

Well, an iron disc, with a ruby ​​the size of a grain of rice inlaid in the middle, and a mithril thread embedded in the engravings similar to the iron circle on the periphery.

Seeing this, Xia Duo suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, shouting that it is so!

Speaking of which, he has long been exposed to the threshold of civilian magic items. Under the Nether magic system, this seems to be a very unsolvable problem. It is difficult to achieve, and it can even be said to be too simple!

……

To put it simply, the essence of the Nether magic system is that the caster forcibly manipulates the strings of the magic net. Under this system, the magic items also fully interpret the characteristics of the relevant spells themselves.

The user needs to manipulate the leystrings linked to the magic item in a manner similar to the control spell.

And the threshold for ordinary people to use magic items is here. If they can control the strings of the magic net, they are no longer ordinary people and can be counted as spellcasters!

In the past, soldiers in the territory used to train the use of magic scrolls like this, but magic scrolls are essentially temporary storage of existing spells, which are equivalent to completed spells, and have a relatively unified trigger method, unlike normal magic items, which have many complex mode of operation.

Generally speaking, even ordinary people who have received training in the use of magic items can hardly exert the full functions of magic items.

But Jay's idea is very simple, if the operation is complicated, then simplify the operation, and even simplify the function of the magic item itself.

Going one step further, if ordinary people can't control the strings of the magic net, then simply abandon the energy circulation system of the magic net and become a whole of their own!
Because of the existence of the magic net, unless they are arcanists, most spellcasters are accustomed to obtaining energy from the magic net, which saves money and is more convenient!
And when making magic items, this principle is implemented to the extreme. Basically, every magic item does not have its own energy.

This is the case even for Mithril component-type magic items. At most, five-color gemstones are used as the energy buffer core, but this is only used to buffer the energy of the magic net, not as the energy of the magic item itself is quickly consumed.

Although the spell books made by Xia Duo before also adopted this design, after all, he didn't have enough pockets at that time, but he still retained the design of consuming arcane energy crystals to continuously activate spells.

And now that [Mythra] has been born, and even in the future, arcane energy crystals may be cheaper than water, and magic items with their own energy are not impossible to consider.

In other words, in a magical society where [Mysera] exists, ordinary people will eventually reach the point of using magic items.

Xia Duo is just ahead of schedule now, and these magic items are not the kind of temporary magic items that are passively activated in the arcane field, but real magic items that can be taken out of the range of influence of [Mythra].

The difference between the two is still quite large.

……

"Jay, come and demonstrate!"

Although Xia Duo had already expected the performance of the two plain iron guys from Jay, he still hoped that Jay, the creator, would demonstrate it himself.

In fact, Jay had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. Hearing Xia Duo's order at this moment, he put the iron disc in his hand between the iron rings on the test bench without any unnecessary movements.

It's not perfect, but it doesn't affect its function.

When Jay gently moved the outer iron ring to rotate and move to a specific angle corresponding to the iron disc, a group of free fire elements appeared above the disc instantly.

Although there were still a steady stream of fire elements being guided from the elemental plane in the follow-up, because the total amount was too small and the dissipation speed was not slow, there was no obvious temperature rise, only making the air above the iron plate slightly disturbance.

But this is enough to explain the problem. The fire element is only a matter of the amount of fire element, whether it is present or not is the essence of the problem.

After maintaining the heating of the fire element void for a period of time, Jay waved the iron circle around the iron plate again, and the fire element lost its source in an instant, and the small volume quickly dissipated.

Later, he introduced: "I call the middle one the starter. It is essentially an independent magic item, and it is in a similar constant state. It has only one function, which is to stimulate the Mithril circuit in the outer iron ring."

"Well, I noticed." Xia Duo nodded.

In fact, this already has the meaning of the arcane field. He thinks that it may be used as a standard part of the [Mythra] device, or that temporary magic items in the arcane field can be activated by adding a starter. It can be used normally outside.
