Lord of Arcane

Chapter 340 Gloomy Breath
After a little thought, Xia Duo discovered the problem—the Mithril structure he made was too big!
This is like the same material, the same proportion, and different sizes of glass pieces, thrown on the ground, the larger ones are more fragile than the small ones.

That is to say, the fragility of an object does not increase equally with the increase in volume, on the contrary, the larger the volume, the easier it is to damage.

The same is true for spells.

The essence of spells is to distort and deform the magic net, and the magic net has a tendency to recover on its own. For spells, it means that spells are always being consumed by the recovery trend of the magic net.

This is also the reason why the threshold for constant magic is so high, because it is only the magic itself to counter the restoration trend of the magic net.

After the element projection is enlarged, the recovery resistance it bears will also be greater, and its own bearing capacity has not become larger, but has become smaller due to the enlarged body size.

That's why this "[Confinement Ball] Generator" exploded after only being used once.

If you don't have the strength to fight against the magic net, but you want to continue to fight against the magic net, then you can only be "eliminated" by the magic net!

Because it was the first time to practice, Xia Duo hadn't considered this factor before, and now it can be regarded as a personal experience, and he will know next time.

Fortunately, the loss was not too great. Even in Xia Duo's original plan, these materials were originally prepared as a price for training.

Now the mithril structural parts can be reused after washing and melting, only some gems have completely disappeared, and the other is time.

But practice itself is a waste of time, and Xia Duo is already much more efficient than others, so there is nothing to say about it.

In general, Xia Duo gained a complete experience in making magic items at a very small cost compared to others.

This advantage in efficiency and cost will continue to accumulate and expand over time.

After comforting himself, Xia Duo raised his hand and wrote down in the experiment notes——

/*****
Name of the magic item: [Imprisoned Ball] Generator
Production process: 1, 2, 3, //Use self-created secret text to record, the same below

Optimizable link: fully automatic processing of quasi-magic items before linking to the magic net (requires learning about alchemy circles, and other uncontrollable risks, not considered for now, included in long-term plans)
Subsequent experimental plan: factor projection mithril structural parts scale reduction, practical appearance design (refer to mature cases of other magic items), complex environment testing, determination of standard specifications, retesting, etc.

Other: slightly
*****/
After recording, Xia Duo entered the state of concentrating on casting spells. Using his shallow knowledge of soul science, he roughly judged that he could conduct another experiment in his current state.

"Then let's get started!"

Xia Duo was gearing up, ready to strike while the iron was hot, and do it again, but just after he activated the alchemy circle, a message came from Taling suddenly——

"Executor Xia Duo, we have a visitor!"

"Let Eberke receive it!" Xia Duo blurted out such words, but he soon realized that Eberke should still be inquiring about news in Sevington at this moment!
As for the so-called visitors, if nothing else happens, they are at least high-ranking mages.

Because of this reminder from the tower spirit, it means that someone outside the Tower of Time has triggered the access mechanism. This would not be a big deal in the past, but at this moment the Tower of Time is in the ruins of the Mystic Lock!
In the riotous magic net environment, at least those who can walk in front of the Tower of Time are high-level mages.

"Taling, did the visitor identify himself?"

Tarling replied, "The visitor calls himself 'Wilder August'!"

"Is there no further information?"

"no!"

Xia Duo thought for a while, and closed the alchemy circle. No matter who the visitor is, his status as a high-level mage alone cannot be ignored. At least he must figure out the purpose of the visitor.

"Taling, inform Master De Parker and let him pick up the visitor. I will meet him in the reception room No. 3 on the public floor!"

Originally, high-level mages should at least be received by mages of the same level, but now that Eberke is not there, there are only a group of middle-level mages left in the Tower of Time, which is really inappropriate.

As for Xia Duo going in person, he never thought that after personally participating in the arrest of Aquiline, he had a deeper understanding of the power of the Tower of Time.

Where there is strength, there is status. A mere high-ranking mage is not worthy of being greeted by the acting tower master himself!

Within the sphere of influence of the Tower of Time, Xia Duo can subdue the opponent with just words!
After tidying up the workshop briefly, I took the [Pioneer Scepter] and set off.

……

The workshop where Xia Duo is now and the No. 3 reception room are both on the public floor of the Mage Tower, not to mention the teleportation, even if you walk there, it is not far away.

It's just that he doesn't have to go over and wait for the other party first.

First, I inspected the various workshops to see how the alchemy circle is being repaired. This is related to the productivity of the Tower of Time and the subsequent continuous income. Xia Duo is very concerned about this.

It wasn't until Ta Ling reminded him that the visitor had already arrived at reception room No. 3 that he walked over there unhurriedly.

No. 3 reception room.

De Parker was talking cautiously with a tall middle-aged mage, when he heard footsteps outside the door, he got up quickly and greeted him outside the door.

"Master Xia Duo, the other party is from the inland August Land, and the Hawke Land behind the Eagle Chamber of Commerce is a blood feud." Before meeting, De Parker's summons had already arrived.

After the meeting, De Parker pretended that nothing happened, and led Xia Duo into the reception room. First, he introduced Xia Duo to Wild August, whose name Xia Duo already knew, and then introduced Xia Duo:

"Your Excellency August, this is Lord Niyata's husband, the current acting tower owner, the Lord of the Great Xia Development Territory where the Tower of Time is currently located, an intermediate mage, Xia Duo."

"It's a pleasure to meet you!"*2
After a brief exchange of greetings, De Parker stepped aside, while Xia Duo and the mage Verde also sat down.

Xia Duo looked at the other party carefully. Although he was tall and had a relatively rough appearance, for some reason, Xia Duo vaguely "smelled" a cold aura mixed with blood.

This reminded him of the elemental road leading from the Myzlock Ruins to the Wolfburg River, where Shaduo could also perceive a conceptual existence of "moisturizing" and "flowing".

After the Midsummer Festival, Xia Duo's bloodline awakened again. This time, he didn't even deliberately use the bloodline, but he felt a similar conceptual existence.

A cold breath generally describes a person's temperament, but can temperament be substantive?
On Earth, Xia Duo can definitely say no, and even in this magical world, this kind of near-substantial conceptual existence is extremely rare.

At least so far, Xia Duo has seen two cases, including the one in front of him.

Of course, strictly speaking, the holy power and arcane energy of the Lord of Radiance can be regarded as conceptual existence, and this is what Xia Duo described from his own limited cognition.

But anyway, this Wilder August is not simple!
