Lord of Arcane

Chapter 286 Downgrade Procedure
Epps closed his eyes, thinking about the various connections of this series of events in his mind, and made a clear direction in his mind for what to do next.

First of all, the star dew scepter, or the crystallization of the plane, can no longer be handed over. The establishment of the guiding beacon has been delayed for so long, and now it has been established with great difficulty, so it cannot be easily given up.

As long as the grandfather returns, then everything will be settled.

He forced himself not to think about the possibility that his grandfather might have died on a different plane. He believed that since his grandfather left a guiding message, he would be able to predict the current situation. Perhaps this was his grandfather's test for him.

Opening his eyes again, Epps has already made a decision, "Taling, suspend all non-essential functions, and activate the highest-level emergency response plan."

In the deeper link with Tower Ling, Epps judged all the functions of the Mage Tower one by one, and chose the most suitable response procedure for the current situation.

At the same time, wherever there are people in the mage tower, the voice of the tower spirit resounds——

"Alarm, the Tower of Time is about to enter a wartime state. In order to avoid accidents, all members immediately stop their work and return to their respective residences."

"The Arcane Garden is closed——

"The public floor is closed——

"The library is closed—"

……

Hearing the alarm, Xia Duo, who was experimenting with [Levitation] in the magic laboratory, was immediately startled. He knew that the lord was locking the "archeology"!
Did you encounter elves during the archaeological process?And then the elves hit the door again?
Xia Duo had to think this way, if there was anything near Savile Land that could threaten the Tower of Time, perhaps it would be the mysterious elf mage in the forest.

But do elves really dare to attack the mage tower on human territory?
He was skeptical, but the tower spirit's alarm could not be faked. The Tower of Time must have encountered an enemy at this moment, but what Xia Duo played around did not expect is that the Tower of Time is no longer in its original position!
But in the ruins of the mythos!
Soon, not long after the alarm sounded, the balance field that combed and smoothed the fluctuation of the magic net in the spell laboratory disappeared.

Xia Duo had to suspend the more dangerous overall experiment and switch to the safer elemental experiment. Even if there was an alarm, he did not panic at all.

When the sky falls, sometimes the tower will stand. He will continue to do what he should do, but he is a little worried that Lord Epps may settle accounts with him afterwards.

As for the enemy, he didn't take it to heart. Attacking a fully functioning mage tower was almost as difficult as a single soldier rushing into a fortress.

He found a comfortable position on the chair with great peace of mind, and continued to study spells.

……

It is indeed not easy to attack the mage tower, but with the assistance of Mysuo, the difficulty will be reduced a lot!

At the core of the plane exploration array, Epps listened to Ta Ling's constant report with a blank face, where the mage tower was damaged and where it was restricted.

His emotions didn't fluctuate at all. At this moment, he already knew who was coming outside——an elf high mage.

Or more accurately, the soul of a high mage who has taken control of a mythal!
This made him feel pressured, but that was all. As long as he survived, there would be dawn. He believed that the other party's possession of the Mystic was not free.

"Master, the seventh floor of the magic net is being isolated! The wind element pool is damaged!"

"Proceed with the downgrade procedure according to the plan! Speed ​​up a little more!"

"Master, the current downgrade speed has reached the limit, any faster will lead to the loss of elements, causing irreversible damage to the Tower of Time!"

"Accelerate! As long as you survive this time, there will be plenty of time to repair it in the future!" Epps said calmly.

He is very clear about the opponent's methods, or in other words, as long as the mage tower designed by the great arcanist has a similar plan, he just needs to follow it.

The elves' understanding of the nature of the magic net is indeed stronger than that of the Nether mages, and the Nethers are inferior to them in terms of the depth of the magic net.

But in the basic field, Nethers only need the first layer of magic net to produce the effect equivalent to No.11 layer of magic net.

This is the principle of the downgrade procedure. If there is no downgrade procedure, as long as any mage tower faces a certain layer of magic net isolated by elves, it will eventually be unable to escape the fate of a pile of rubble.

But through the downgrade procedure, the mage tower's dependence on the magic net is extremely small. It only needs the existence of the first layer of the magic net to retain most of its abilities.

The downgrade procedure is also the most costly and cumbersome item in the construction of the mage tower, except for the plane crystallization!
At present, the Tower of Time has been downgraded to the 6th ring level, and the progress of the isolation of the magic net from the outside world has reached the seventh level. Epps does not believe that the other party can be isolated all the way to the first level.

If the first layer of the magic net is also isolated, then the basis for the existence of mythos does not exist.

And if the fan lock doesn't exist, how can the magic net be isolated!

As long as they downgrade to a shallower magic net before the opponent isolates a certain layer of magic net, they can ignore the other party's methods!
And even if the first layer of the magic net is also isolated, the main body of the Tower of Time still has a layer of stone shell as the final barrier, so why should the opponent lose its magic power to break it!

……

"Master, the seventh floor of the magic net has been completely isolated, and the demotion is being accelerated. The alchemy circle of the members of the Tower of Time is damaged, and the alchemy circle of the public layer is damaged."

Ugh--

Epps sighed and adjusted the order, "Priority protects the residences of the members of the Tower of Time!"

The residences provided by the Tower of Time for official mages do not include alchemy circles. Those are all added by official mages themselves, and there is no downgrading procedure suitable for mage towers.

In the process of the overall downgrade of the Tower of Time, those extra magic circles will inevitably be damaged, but fortunately, all losses are still within the acceptable range of Epps.

At this moment, Ta Ling suddenly reminded: "Master, the magic net isolation has stopped!"

When Epps heard it, he knew that the real contest was coming!Although he didn't know what form the next attack would take, he was fearless!

……

At this moment, Mage Lauren outside was close to the limit. Although he could continue to isolate the sixth layer of the magic net, it could not play a decisive role.

In the process of isolating the magic net just now, he was also constantly testing the ability of this mage tower, and he didn't feel good. This is a mage tower designed by a great arcanist.

Fortunately, there is no Grand Arcanist inside, otherwise he really can't do anything.

"Looks like this is the only way to go!"

Lauren has completely integrated into the Mystic at this moment, and he knows that he has only one last way to go - to break the opponent's defense at the cost of destroying the current Mystical.

This mystic, which has just been restored by him, and may even continue to be perfected, has only existed for a short while now, and it is about to be declared destroyed.

Lauren couldn't bear it, couldn't bear to destroy this supreme creation, but as soon as he thought of the Stardew Scepter and Fenovi Tower still in that mage tower, he had to do it again!

Even at the cost of his complete demise!

　The downgrade procedure is actually what was mentioned before. It is similar to using only the first layer of the magic net to release spells equivalent to level 9 or even higher. The casting time and complexity of the spell will be greatly increased.

Perhaps such a 9th-level spell could theoretically be cast by a level 1 mage, but he might not be able to maintain a long-term concentration state, casting spells continuously for more than a year, or even longer.

On this basis, it is joint casting. I have mentioned it several times before, lowering the casting conditions. Of course, it is impossible for a level 1 mage to cast 9-level spells, but it may be a low-level mage who can jointly cast spells and release middle-level spells; The mage puts high-level spells, and so on.

It was mentioned earlier that the protagonist's neighbor Grada's father was the head of the mage group when he was projecting the plane. Although it has not been unfolded, it is a joint cast of mages in an established system, and at least they are all high-level mages.

The downgrade procedure is used on the mage tower. Even when the magic net is isolated, the combat power is still intact, but humans may not be as good as machines, and it is difficult to quickly transform. For example, a protagonist can cast 3-level spells. If the third layer of the net is isolated or banned, it will be difficult for him to immediately use spells equivalent to 3rd-level spells. If there is a plan, let's talk about it.

Isolation of the magic net requires the use of mystic locks, or the joint casting of multiple high-level mages, starting from the deepest layer that the caster can reach, and gradually isolating and blocking it.

The larger the range, the more difficult it is to isolate, and Arcanists have similar methods.
