Lord of Arcane

Xia Duo did not delve into this phenomenon. If he did, he would inevitably treat these high-level mages as experimental subjects, which is obviously difficult to achieve.

It is enough to confirm that there is such a phenomenon. In fact, as long as a researcher perceives the real magic network reminder, it means that the foggy area is indeed much more complicated than they imagined.

A few more researchers perceiving it only further proves this point.

To prove that something exists, it is enough to have only one example. On the contrary, if you want to prove that something does not exist, you must demonstrate its non-existence as comprehensively as possible. If you are using examples to demonstrate, you need to exhaust all cases.

At the moment, for Xia Duo, although these high-level mages are not regarded as experimental subjects, the consciousness information that has been collected cannot be forgotten instantly.

That part of the magic network reminder perceived by a few researchers can be regarded as a kind of primitive witchcraft in a sense. Xia Duo has preserved these, and perhaps he can find a more complete understanding of the foggy area from the perspective of the magic network. Know.

……

Next, Xia Duo tested the foggy area alone. Considering that the previous volunteers never came out after entering, the second volunteer also disappeared with a traction rope.

So Xia Duo decided to simulate such a process, but this time he was not going to use volunteers, but was going to use a mixture of fine gold and gold to make a long pole over 15 meters long.

Fine gold and gold are both metals with extremely stable physical properties. Gold is more stable but softer in texture. Mixing it with fine gold can obtain the properties of both.

Xia Duo did not need to come up with these materials. When the previous meeting decided to establish a defense line outside the foggy area, the Northland Alliance headquarters, which was always paying attention here, had already begun to mobilize various materials.

In addition, there was a lot of material surplus in the temporary camp, so Xia Duo did not need to save for the Northland Alliance, so he took the materials directly from the camp.

When he came to the cordon outside the foggy area with the long metal pole again, he immediately attracted a lot of attention. Dika, who had just been with him, walked over directly and asked Shado:
"Consultant Xia Duo, what are you trying to do? Haven't volunteers gone in before?"

"There were volunteers who went in, but they left very little useful information. The disconnection point of the traction rope looked like it was cut off by an external force, or it seemed like it was naturally stretched to the extreme before it broke off. The most important thing is that the broken point was preserved. There is very little magical information."

In fact, senior adventurers from Evereska and Sluvende had already judged that the traction rope carried by the second volunteer was most likely broken.

However, no additional pulling force was felt on the other end of the traction rope at that time. At least the pulling force on the traction rope felt outside was far from enough to break the rope.

Therefore, Xia Duo is more inclined to have some kind of magical effect, so he uses fine gold-gold alloy, which is more stable and less susceptible to magic effects, to experiment.

If it is really some kind of magical effect, it will last longer if it acts on the fine gold-gold alloy with more stable physical properties, so that no trace of magic can be detected when it comes out like the previous traction rope.

Xia Duo briefly explained his thoughts, and then slowly stretched the long pole toward the inside of the cordon. Although he was holding it manually, when the front end of the pole crossed a little more than ten meters inside the cordon, he You can still clearly feel that the long rod seems to be pulled by something.

The strength is very light, but it is definitely there. In addition, another more obvious perception is that the weight is slightly lighter, as if the part that extends into the foggy area suddenly disappears.

Sensing this situation, Xia Duo immediately pulled back his pole, and then saw a surprising scene——

What the long pole pulls out from the foggy area is neither a fracture nor an intact one, but a slender metal wire, and there is a rapidly narrowing but very smooth transition from the pole body to the thin wire.

"This--"

Metal is indeed malleable, but to say that the metal rod can be directly stretched into filaments is somewhat exaggerated. In this situation, it can basically be judged that there is an element of pulling.But Xia Duo judged that the pulling should not play a major role, and there should be some more subtle effects occurring inside the rod. If it was just a simple pulling, then he should also feel a more obvious pulling sensation.

Pulling is not the main factor, and squeezing cannot be the main factor. It should not be a simple deformation!

……

Next, Xia Duo continued to pull back the long pole, but the metal wire at the front became thinner and thinner, but he could not see the end. Finally, he pulled the long pole back for nearly 5 minutes.

In this case, it was of course impossible to retract it manually, but with spell assistance. Not only that, Shado also asked Dika to help stabilize the air flow near the metal pole, especially near the front end of the foggy area.

Because after 5 minutes of retreat, the metal wire at the front end of the long pole can no longer be seen with the naked eye, and any small undulating airflow disturbance may "blow off" it.

Xia Duo wanted to see how far this metal wire could be stretched.

It was a pity that after nearly 5 minutes, the metal wire at the front end still broke, and no more could be pulled out of the foggy area.

If you add up all the metal wires pulled out of the foggy area, they are far less than the part of the rod that Xia Duo stretched into the foggy area. The ratio is about one percent.

In other words, the part of the long rod that extended into the foggy area almost completely stayed there, and only one percent of the part "escaped" in the form of filaments.

Looking at it this way, if the previous volunteers wanted to escape, they might just come back with a pile of debris.

Of course, the metal pole cannot move on its own, and it can only be operated by Xia Duo in advance or retreat, but the volunteers can move on their own. It may be easier to come out from inside than being pulled out, but it may not be the opposite.

After all, no one knows what is going on in the foggy area now, and can only indirectly speculate through various phenomena.

……

Now that he had retracted the long pole and brought out nearly [-]% of the "fog escaping material", Xia Duo was not busy with other experiments, but kept the front end of the long pole, especially the metal filaments.

Then a preliminary inspection was conducted in front of six other researchers. The detection accuracy of manual casting was limited and not as good as the professional instruments in the laboratory. However, compared to the already established instruments, manual casting was more flexible.

At this time, Xia Duo uses a joint detection method, which amplifies the detection effect by connecting multiple conventional detection methods in series. It is generally used for qualitative detection.

If quantification is required, it is generally more accurate to detect them separately.

As the spell was completed, the result was obtained almost instantly——

"The wire contains traces of magic and has characteristics that have never been seen before!"

This is enough to rule out magic traces left during the manufacturing process of the metal rod. Of course, in order to quickly detect the results, Chateau's spell inevitably contaminated this part of the metal wire sample. (End of chapter)
