Lord of Arcane

“That’s why we have to keep pace with the times!”

Sha Duo patted Niya on the shoulder and said nothing more. Niya nodded vigorously, "Yes, it is to keep pace with the times. What I am most afraid of now is that I will not be able to keep up with the development of the Tower of Time when I wake up. "

"I'm also afraid, so it's unrealistic for one person to be proficient in all fields like the mages in the past. It's best to choose a field that you like and are good at, and continue to delve deeper. As for other fields, just understand it, there is no need to go deep. "

This is actually an inevitable division of labor when a magical civilization develops to a certain extent. Individual energy is limited, and even if time is used to accelerate development, others can still use it.

Therefore, when the abilities are equal, research by multiple people is bound to be more efficient than research by one person.

"Then I will delve deeper into the realm of mystery." Niya said softly, as if talking to herself, and as if she was telling Sha Duo her decision.

"Mystery Lock is a good field and has great potential for future development."

Sha Duo gave his unabashed evaluation. The mystery lock that Niya is currently researching is actually different from the traditional elf mystery lock, but a new type of mystery lock based on the adaptive framework.

Judging from the performance of the Red Heart Alliance on the projection plane, this kind of mystery lock does have very broad development prospects, and the most important thing is that now in the main plane, only the Tower of Time family has mastered it, and there is no doubt that it has the first-mover advantage. , it would be outrageous not to occupy it.

In addition, Sha Duo learned about mystery lock design when he "study abroad" in the Red Heart Alliance, which can also provide great help to Niya. As for himself, the main research field he chose for himself is the plane field.

The recent research on the power of order is entirely because it is not easy to make progress in research in the plane field. In addition, there are already many people at the plane exploration center executing his plan, so missing him for the time being will not have much impact.

The most important thing is that the power of order is very likely to be a new solution to the two world-ending crises in the main plane, so he spent more time.

Otherwise, he might be doing experiments related to the plane field now.

……

After sitting and chatting with Niya in front of the projection window for a while, the two finally talked about the next update of the communication mystery lock. Sha Duo was the first to speak:
"In just these two days, I am going to update the Mystery Lock. After this update, the next update may take a long time. During this period, all the research related to the Communication Mystery Lock will be left to you."

"Don't worry, I can do it. But for this update, do you really not need our help?"

"No, it doesn't make much sense if you are the only one to help. Asking others to come over will also delay their own affairs. I will come here by myself just to brush up on my experience in building myth locks."

After Xia Duo said this, Niya stopped insisting, but she also secretly made up her mind that she would do the next Mystery Lock update alone.

……

Two days later, inside the Misuo Laboratory, one of several limited-level third-level laboratories in Chang'an, the floating city.

The node instruments are neatly arranged in the experimental area in the center of the main laboratory, with a total of 28 nodes, which is two-thirds of the total 42 nodes currently supported by the communication mystery lock.

The Mystery Lock designed with distributed nodes requires complete control of two-thirds of the nodes in order to have control of the Mystery Lock. Therefore, before selling the communication magic weapon, the Tower of Time manufactured and preserved 28 node magic weapons to ensure control. The right is not lost.

The number of communication instruments that can be sold is actually only 14 at most. The number of nodes will not be increased until the next Mystery Lock update. This update is only a temporary decision.

In terms of difficulty, it is even more difficult to increase the number of nodes. The relevant work has just begun. Fortunately, after this update, the new functions can be supported for at least a while.Before the actual update, Sha Duo checked the status of the node magic weapon again. Two hours had passed since this check. Fortunately, Niya was also present this time. Although she did not participate in the spellcasting coordination during the update, the early inspection work, She wasn't ready to just watch Xia Duo do it alone.

After everything was ready, Sha Duo nodded towards Niya. Niya stepped back clearly, and did not stop until she reached the edge of the main laboratory.

At this time, Xia Duo activated the protective measures in the laboratory. As soon as he trusted Niya, this was not a question of trust or distrust, but to eliminate interference as much as possible.

After all, this is a large-scale spellcasting operation. If there is a slight mistake, not only the impact on itself and the laboratory will be affected, at least it will also affect the communication mystery lock that needs to be updated now.

"I started."

Sha Duo gestured to Niya, and then entered the spell-casting state. Although it would take longer to cast the spell alone, the advantage is that you don't have to worry about coordination problems. As long as you don't go wrong, you will definitely succeed.

As a typical academic mage, Xia Duo may lack experience in casting spells when confronting enemies at the last moment, but when everything is prepared, there will be no accidents when practicing spell casting.

……

Almost an hour later, the node instruments in the experimental area simultaneously erupted with strong magical light. The next moment, the room remembered Sha Duo's slightly tired voice:

"Finally done, a success!"

In fact, Xia Duo got the avatar back from Everriska, and it would be safer to use the avatar to cast spells. But the problem is that Everriska can't do without the incarnation, so he can only do it himself.

Fortunately, he succeeded once, otherwise if he made a few mistakes, he might have gone numb.

After coming into contact with the protection, Niya immediately ran over to help Xia Duo. Xia Duo did not refuse, but enjoyed the tenderness of this moment. Of course, he was not really weak enough to need help from others.

It's just that too much energy has been consumed in a short period of time and needs to be slowed down.

The two of them walked to the lounge next to the main laboratory and sat down together. Xia Duo had almost recovered. However, at this time, he did not want to clean up the node magic weapons in the experimental area. Instead, he took out his own communication magic weapon. Get ready to experience the new features after the My Lock update.

Niya was on the sidelines giving instructions to Xia Duo on how to operate it. In fact, considering the experience of other users, there was no threshold for these operations, but Xia Duo was happy to let Niya give instructions. This was just a little fun between the couple.

"You activate it as usual first, yes, and then My Lock will proactively send a reminder."

After Xia Duo did as he was told, he found that the communication magic weapon had indeed received a reminder from Mi Suo, asking him if he would update the communication magic weapon and explaining what functions it would have after the update.

Of course, Xia Duo chose to update. The next moment, a visual interface appeared on the surface of the magic weapon. This was the projection spell that came with the My Lock update. The communication magic weapon itself did not need to be changed.

Other new functions are also updated at the level of mystery, and actually have little to do with the communication magic weapon, which is a node magic weapon.

At this time, Xia Duo looked at the visual interface that appeared out of thin air in front of him, and a long-lasting sense of familiarity suddenly emerged. Although he did not actually participate in the design of this interface, he made a lot of relevant suggestions.

In the end, Niya's finished product and the communication software interface in his memory formed a convergence across time and space to some extent. Seeing this scene, Sha Duo couldn't help but sigh:
"Yes, that's what it smells like!" (End of chapter)
