Lord of Arcane

Chapter 242 New Projects

Soon after, the spells mastered by Xia Duo appeared at the bottom of the water 20 meters away, then on the surface of the water, and then to the back, Xia Duo had skillfully cut the section of the river into his body on the spot, extending the spells to 20 meters away.

This is still the center of the water under Xia Duo's control. If it only spreads in one direction, then Xia Duo can even extend the spell to 50 meters away!
Under normal circumstances, Xia Duo would not be able to do this!

Maybe his spells can affect 50 meters away, but that's just an influence, not casting a spell 50 meters away, which is a completely different concept.

Not to mention 50 meters, normally the magic net beyond 10 meters is already very blurred and cannot be manipulated precisely. In order to pursue more precision, Xia Duo even brought the source of the spell close to the body.

For example, for the level 2 spell of [Confinement Ball], Xia Duo put the source of the spell on his fingertips, and then used the hints of his fingers to enhance his concentration and reduce the difficulty of casting the spell.

After the spell is successful, a force field ball that is only the size of a pupil will fly out quickly, expanding continuously in the process, and this is actually a manifestation of the spell's gradual loss of control.

After hitting the target, the force field ball will immediately cling to and imprison the target, and then it will no longer be under Xia Duo's control.

To cast this spell, Xia Duo needs to contemplate and recall the structure of the spell, which is also a way to assist memory, and then fill in all the elements of the spell structure, and finally operate the magic net at the fingertips to release the spell.

The area of ​​effect of different spells varies.

Ordinary [Magic Missile] can fly more than 50 meters. Once his [Confinement Ball] exceeds 20 meters, it will have almost no effect. The confinement force is almost zero, and you don't even need to break free to get rid of the influence of the spell.

And if the spell is cast through the water, the actual range of influence of the [Confinement Ball] is 50+20 meters, and the actual range of influence of the [Magic Missile] reaches 50+50 meters.

It is easy to increase the area of ​​influence of a spell, but it is difficult to increase the precise casting distance.

Of course, being able to use the water to cast spells is indeed a big advantage, but just the water is also a big weakness.

And Xia Duo doesn't believe that he is the only one in the world who has the ability to increase the casting distance. Just from the background of the game on Earth, Xia Duo knows that mages can use [Scrying] to cast spells.

It is equivalent to casting a spell on the monitoring screen, and it can really affect the target.

This is much better than Xia Duo's method of being restricted by the water, but [Scry] can also be blocked. As far as Xia Duo knows, the spell laboratory can block [Scry].

If you are not in the magic laboratory, you can also use [Scry] to research corresponding shielding, countering or even misleading spells.

Thinking about it this way, his spellcasting in the water area is a little more clever.

……

After trying the spells he was familiar with one by one, Xia Duo finally started to try the set of elements recorded from the magic arrow.

The mithril structure of the arrow body is connected with multiple layers of the magic net. Xia Duo only recorded a group from the surface layer of the magic net to the second layer. Of course, this group was also distinguished by himself.

But it is hard to say whether it is a closely related group or not.

总之先试试再说，这一组要素共9个——2环2个、1环3、0环4个，看上去数量比【光亮术】还要少。

But from the surface layer of the magic net to the second layer, the strings of the magic net are intertwined with each other, which is much more complicated than the [Light Art] which only has 0 ring elements.

Of course, the complexity here refers to the complexity of the mechanism, not that it is difficult to cast spells.

The difficulty of casting spells is about the same as that of [Light Art]. The current Xia Duo's spell-casting skills are different from the past. It can be casted without a glance, at least a few more attempts can be successfully cast.

But what the result is, it is difficult to judge in a short time.

"Huh? What's the situation?"

It was in vain that Xia Duo had made so many preparations, and he was using the water to cast the spell, and he was worried, but he didn't expect that this group of elements would have no effect!

No, it can't be said that there is no effect at all, but any change to the magic net will have a corresponding effect, but this effect seems to be short-lived and not complete.

It's like a person walking, just completed the nerve interaction of raising the leg, but from the outside, it doesn't move a little bit.

It is similar to casting a spell on a single element, and it also has a corresponding magical effect, but it is a meaningless effect.

The mood that had been brewing for a long time did not bring any effect in the end. Xia Duo repeated this set of elements in a somewhat self-defeating manner, that is, superimposed once again on the basis of a set of elements.

It is impossible for normal spells to do this successfully, but if it is only the elements that do not become spells, it needs to be opened up a lot. Adding elements arbitrarily may form a new spell!
Of course, it's more likely to be out of control.

I don't know if the God of Magic heard Xia Duo's complaint, or if the set of elements that I wrote down by chance really needs to be superimposed, in short——

The spell took effect, and a cavity not much bigger than a fingertip suddenly appeared in the water 20 meters away from Xia Duo, but the surrounding river water filled it back in the next moment.

No bubbles emerged!
At this time, the surrounding waters were still under Xia Duo's control, and at the same time, the instinct of life made him clearly feel a flash of negative energy.

Xia Duo didn't know, so he tried again, and it still worked. It wasn't that a blind cat bumped into a dead mouse, but that there really was such a combination of elements corresponding to such an effect.

For negative energy, Xia Duo is quite cautious. He doesn't want to be contaminated with the opposite of this kind of life, and it will really shorten his life!

Although this measure is not as much as the negative energy released by a dead goblin, it is a simple spell. If you can't hold back your curiosity, come again and again, and often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet.

Xia Duo immediately decided to stop, as well as the magic arrow in the mystical lock, he had to handle it more carefully, at least until he was sure, he would not touch it lightly, let alone move it.

Just let it stay in place for a while, anyway, it has been there for hundreds of thousands of years, not bad for a while.

Back at the camp, Xia Duo made two magic scrolls and reconsidered the excavation of the ruins in the mythos. The magic arrows were put there for the time being, and he would go back to the Tower of Time to check the information, or he could find out a safe collection method by himself. .

If it was just a ring or a bracelet-shaped magic item, Xia Duo would never shrink back so much. The arrow-shaped one looks like an offensive item. In addition, it still retains the magic aura. It is not known whether it is a stock item or an unactivated one after release. Taste.

In short, the danger factor of this thing is much higher than a magic ring or bracelet.

……

On the second day, Xia Duo did not bring a shovel, but brought notes. He was going to record all the elements that could be "seen" on the magic arrow.

This will become his long-term research project. Compared with all the known information obtained from the Tower of Time, studying these unknown things will definitely enable him to have a deeper understanding of the nature of the magic net and the principle of magic.

In addition, it is more important to broaden his horizons and exercise his ability to study alone.

In a sense, this potentially deadly magic arrow is Xia Duo's new mentor.

This new mentor may not be able to speak or answer questions, but he will show everything he has!
　Let’s talk about the problem of spell encryption. Encryption or non-encryption has no decisive impact, and it is also a relative problem. A clever mage doesn’t even need to know the details of spellcasting, and can reverse the details of spellcasting only from the effect.

Of course, the spells on the magic arrow are also encrypted and transformed. The protagonist is just intercepting some elements, similar to forcibly dismantling a software and grabbing parts of the machine language. It is very difficult to completely decipher the spells.

It's like we got an alien spaceship and started a research project~~
Frontier engineering belonging to one system
