Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2567 Space Folds
For various considerations, the ancient elves centralized the control authority of Mysuo in one place for unified management. This place is also the location of the Mysuo Control Center mentioned in the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll.

The official name is - Fort Ferrez.

For a while, Xia Duo stopped the ongoing calculator test experiment of the main body, and put most of his consciousness on the avatar. He first roughly determined the size of the abnormal range based on the results of [Element Scanning].

Just from the surface, this area is not that big, even compared to a control center that can be used to control the mythos that cover the entire main plane, this area is pitifully small.

That is to say, a range of one or two hundred new meters around a certain cliff wall.

Xia Duo cautiously approached the central area, where a nearly vertical fracture surface was formed on the edge of the continent, the bottom was bottomless, and everything was frozen by the pale and deep ice.

Xia Duo shuttled through the ice body, and didn't feel any difference between this area and the places he experienced before. It seemed that this area was a very ordinary frozen layer.

However, in the abnormal areas discovered before, some abnormal things can always be found, such as mineral veins, ruins, or traces left by elemental biological activities.

But there is nothing here, only a dark cliff, and the solid ice that wraps the cliff is no different from the Seven Towers.

"The cliff?"

Xia Duo stared fixedly at the huge wall in front of him. It looked very flat from a distance, but it was only when he got closer that he found cracks on the surface and fist-sized, neatly arranged rock mass protrusions.

It seems that there is no fundamental difference from other places. The rock mass protrusions on the cliff seem to be washed by water, or the erosion effect of seawater freezing.

He had seen similar scenes in the cliff area he had searched before, but the ones here were more neat.

but--

If there was no abnormal element detected before, then he might have really ignored it, but now, knowing that there is an abnormality here, how can he turn a blind eye?

Thinking of this, Xia Duo retreated a little distance, to a place where he felt that he would not be affected, and still stopped in the ice, just like checking the abnormal area before, completely overlapping the portable space with this area.

And in this process, Xia Duo himself is also in the overlapping area of ​​the planes. This is a very special state. The portable space exists in the consciousness, but his consciousness now exists in the portable space.

Gives a sense of contradiction and harmony.

It is also in this state that Xia Duo can use the portable space to perceive the space that overlaps with another layer, and the perception between spaces is the most real.

At least he is on the projection plane, and through this method, he can even penetrate the virtual essence within the projection plane, which is impossible with normal inspection methods.

But now, through the portable space, Xia Duo saw the real scene of the main plane, which is still a cliff and ice, but the difference is——

Traces of the magic are finally revealed!
Although it is still impossible to conclude that this is the Fortress of Ferres, the anomalies here are completely different from the ones discovered before.

What was discovered before can be roughly classified as natural phenomena. Even the traces of elemental biological activities can be seen to be naturally produced in the current cold environment.

But the traces of magic that are clearly ruled here can never be produced naturally. If it must be said to be naturally produced, the probability is like a monkey randomly pressing on a typewriter, and pressing out a piece of masterpiece.

Although that possibility is not completely ruled out in theory, in practice, that possibility must be ignored.

Right now, the traces of magic here can only be artificially produced by intelligent creatures, not natural phenomena!
Carefully distinguishing the many magical details that appeared in the portable space, Xia Duo preliminarily judged that it was not the root cause of the current situation in this area, but just a result.

To put it simply, this area is likely to be the Ferrez Fortress. The reason why the fortress cannot be seen may be the result of a certain setting of the fortress interacting with the natural environment of this area.

This effect makes the main body of the fortress disappear from the main plane in a way that is closer to reality.

Under normal circumstances, Xia Duo's current portable space is already huge. Once it completely overlaps with the main plane, it is enough to completely cover this area, including the fortress itself.

But now, there is only a limited part of the cliff, and the fortress is completely invisible.

Afterwards, Xia Duo checked the Ether Plane and the Shadow Plane that fit this area, but failed to find any direct clues related to the fortress, but there were quite a few indirect ones.

Whether it is the ether plane or the shadow plane, it seems that there is a piece missing in this area. The "lack" here is not that there is a real empty piece inside the plane, but that in this area, the two planes There are obvious differences in the topographic and topographical features.

It's as if a part of the area is engulfed by the main plane and trapped in a certain space fold.

If the normal space is the larger part of the lower half of the gourd, then the fortress is probably located in the folded space of the upper half of the gourd.

The normal method of overlapping planes cannot touch that part of the space. Only by finding the small opening in the middle of the gourd can one find the hidden space.

But now, this elemental anomalous area is likely to be where the small hole is. After all, there are so many bells and whistles in the normal space, and magic must be involved to hide the space.

As long as you figure out what the magic here is, maybe you can find the hidden space!
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but diverge his thoughts. Is the same operation in the eastern world, using some kind of force to tie the plane from the middle into a "knot", half of which is the western land + eastern region where Xia Duo is now, and the other half is Eastern world.

It's just that this kind of speculation is too scary, Xia Duon would rather believe that the eastern world is hidden through the law of order, maybe it is some other force, such as the legendary "Kyushu Barrier" and so on.

This method of directly playing with large planes is not like the development of single-plane civilizations.

……

Suppressing those untimely thoughts in his heart, Xia Duo turned his attention to the magic existing in this area again. After observing for a while, he couldn't restrain the thoughts diverging in the space, so he separated the portable space from the main plane.

But the memory of the previous observation is still there, and he can still use the magic details he observed before to try to find out the real secret here.

Of course, this part can largely be done through the brain, and a few parts that cannot be simulated through calculations will be collected to a certain number, and then unified experimental verification.

As for now, Xia Duo bypassed this area and continued the search for the next area.

Although it is very likely that Ferrez Fortress is here, it is not ruled out that it is a cover. After all, the only thing he can conclude now is that the magical traces here are not formed naturally, but are indeed man-made.

Continue to search, if all the doubts in the abnormal area can be ruled out, then this place is not just a man-made trace, but Ferrez Fortress is here.
