Lord of Arcane

Anyone can draw a cake, and it’s not exactly a draw. The computing resources used by Niya alone are limited. Xia Duo will only use them occasionally, and the newly added resources will not be retained by him in equal proportion. .

The final proportion distributed to each researcher will still increase. In addition, what Xia Duo said about optimizing the network is not empty talk, but he really wants to take this rare opportunity to conduct some experiments on the Lingsi network.

Once the experiment is successful, won’t the Lingsi network be naturally optimized?
Even if it is unsuccessful, it will not be worse than in the past. The most important thing is that Xia Duo uses the computing resources he deserves and does not take up the resources of other researchers and will not affect their actual use experience.

Overall, this is a win-win proposition for all parties.

Regarding Xia Duo's proposal, Dika was very moved, but he hesitated in his words, "Actually, many researchers including me have applied to increase manpower from above some time ago, but before they could get approval, something happened. After the recent mithril mine incident, I don’t know if it can be approved in the future, or even-"

Dika didn't say anything else, but Xia Duo understood it completely, but he didn't expect that Dika, who was originally devoted to the field of research, had such a side.

But this is not a strange thing. Dika does not live in a vacuum. He chose to join the Time-related Magic Research Laboratory just to fight against the demons.

If you really only care about your own research, why would you care about the threat of demons?
And now, with the Mithril Mine incident going on outside, how could Dika not know about it unless he blocked his ears?
Now that you know it, you can't help but worry.

However, Shado didn't say much. He just mentioned Netheril's principles for handling mithril mines, and then left the thoughtful Dika to leave alone.

Both parties had a tacit understanding and did not mention the conflict between Erlan and Cormanthor in the Gray Peak Mountains. After all, Dika was from Everesca, while Shado was from Netheril. It was somewhat superficial to talk about this.

However, just now at Doom's side, Sha Duo learned some details of the conflict. In fact, it was a very small matter. As a result, the two sides fought fiercely. Fortunately, no casualties were caused, otherwise it would have been difficult to end.

It was also because of this conflict that Ambassador Tirion promptly announced the "mutual openness and fair distribution" principle for Netheril's handling of mithril mines, hoping that all parties could sit down and negotiate peacefully.

Of course, the effect of this is also there. Small countries agree one after another, and big countries do not object. If there are no special changes, formal negotiations should really start.

……

Parking the avatar at Yunfeng Manor, Xia Duo turned his consciousness back to the original body of the Tower of Time. Now, the consciousness pollution caused by his previous assistance in creating the avatar has been completely removed, and he has had enough rest.

There was nothing major going on at the Shiji Magic Research Laboratory for the time being, and they just had time to deal with the prophet Puffin who was packed back by him.

Only two or three days had passed from the time he saw the other party during the prophecy ceremony to the time he packed the other party back. Xia Duo himself never thought it would go so smoothly.

At this moment, in the floating city's third-level laboratory, Sha Duo released the body sculpture of Paffin after being imprisoned, and carefully looked at the other person's face. The shock and astonishment of the moment before unconsciousness were still retained on the other person's face.

"Let's see what secrets you are hiding!"

It was already meat on the chopping board. Xia Duo was not in a hurry to deal with it immediately. Instead, he first checked the various sundries that the other party carried with him. Two of them were suspected to be storage props, but he could find a way to crack them later and find the corresponding items. In the dimensional space or demiplane, given the identity of the other party, there should be evidence in it that can prove his Illuminati identity.

Except for storage props, the rest are not worth mentioning. After all, no matter how good the magic items are, they don't mean much to Xia Duo now.Next came the highlight - Puffin itself. Shado had no intention of awakening it and then asking about it. His initial intention was to directly copy the consciousness and then interpret it in slices.

If you wake up first, there may be some unexpected changes. It is good to let the other party's consciousness stay at the moment when the members of the Elisir family visited.

Shado could only copy the consciousness more than once in the projection plane and the main plane. It was originally an interrogation technique from the projection plane Everesca - Consciousness Cage. It was later improved and made more suitable for Shado's use.

The essence is to create a consciousness projection for others, similar to the tower spirit. The tower spirit is actually a copy of the caster's own consciousness. The degree of intelligence varies according to the amount of personal consciousness information retained.

The brain is the same thing.

However, when creating consciousness projections for others, generally only superficial consciousness information can be copied, and not all information can be copied, which means that complete memories are not obtained.

Therefore, the magic of elves is unique. Even small city-states like Everriska have hidden magical spells that can make Shado shine.

Xia Duo used to create copies of other people's consciousness several times and achieved good results. The biggest gain was the discovery of the demon's conspiracy to subvert the timeline.

And that's just catching a non-Illuminati demon. Now that I've caught a real Illuminati member, I think there will be greater gains!
While looking forward to it, Sha Duo has already completed the creation of copies of Paffin's consciousness, and ten of them were created at once. It is not that one copy can completely decipher all the consciousness information of the target, but it is like doing a puzzle to see the interpretation. It depends on the experience and talent of the user, but no matter what, as long as the number of copies is enough, complete consciousness information can always be pieced together.

"I hope to find the key information within five times and interpret the complete consciousness information within ten times!"

Setting a small goal for himself, Sha Duo put away the Puffin statue and immediately started his first interpretation. He did not create an illusion to ask face-to-face, but directly shattered the consciousness and interpreted the fragmented consciousness information bit by bit.

After several previous experiences, Shado did not choose to interpret the target immediately after crushing Paffin's consciousness this time. Instead, he observed the natural aggregation state of the scattered consciousness fragments and looked for larger blocks among them as targets.

Several previous experiences told him that the fragments of consciousness that will naturally gather are most likely some important information or key thinking patterns, and the latter itself is also composed of important information.

Those fragments of consciousness that cannot be naturally aggregated or are aggregated slowly are most likely some subconscious information about body control. When the key information has been obtained, there is no need to interpret them at all.

After all, the process of interpreting consciousness information is actually the process of experiencing the target's memory, and one's own consciousness will be contaminated by the target's consciousness information.

Soon, Xia Duo found a group of consciousness fragments that naturally converged quickly. The next step was the spiritual connection. The next moment, Xia Duo felt a large number of unfamiliar memories impacting his consciousness.

Fortunately, he still has a lot of experience in this area, and he collected, distinguished, and sorted it out with ease, and then he got the first harvest of this slicing——

This guy Puffin is indeed connected to the Illuminati! (End of chapter)
