Lord of Arcane

Chapter 438 Sending the Mark to Prepare for the Bachelor of Agriculture

"In the long run, knowledge will inevitably spread to subordinates, which is very dangerous." Leonard also gave his own formal answer to Xia Duo's formal question.

But after changing the subject, he said, "But this will also expand the base of spellcasters, which is beneficial to the current situation that Netheril is facing. As for the more specific pros and cons analysis, I am not good at it."

enough!
Intermediate mages can naturally set up a separate research room. Xia Duo didn't waste much time on this aspect, but just mentioned that he can help guide how to enter the academy when he has time.

For this reason, Xia Duo provided "Arcane Geometry" from elementary to advanced. Of course, this is not only the price for Leonard's guidance to enter the academy, but also the cultivation of potential people.

In his opinion, a more theoretical book like "Arcane Geometry" should be fully open, and specific technologies need to be kept secret. Of course, it may be more appropriate to register spell patents.

But in such a big environment, Xia Duo can only take it step by step.

As for why it was Leonard and not other mid-level mages, it was actually related to potential. Of course, Leonard himself was a student of Lord Epps, which was also a very important reason.

Although the other middle-level mages are not considered old, they are still not as good as young people like Leonard, and their potential is really limited. It is Xia Duo's plan for them to become advanced technicians in the future.

During the transformation of the Tower of Time (production mode), Xia Duo tried not to touch them. If they can take the initiative to embrace the transformation, then in the further deepening of the transformation (talent training), Xia Duo will also give them certain preferential treatment.

Maybe a few Arcanists could really appear!
Leaving Leonard's residence, Xia Duo discussed various decisions with Eberke again, whether as the only Arcanist in the Tower of Time except Nia, or as Nya's, and of course his elder, Eberke Burke has a right to know.

After that, Xia Duocai flew back to the territory again.

……

It is rare to fly a few more times before mastering [Long-distance Teleportation], Xia Duo is still very happy.

After returning to the territory and explaining a few words to Layton, he immediately activated the "closed mode". If he doesn't master [Long-distance Teleportation], he won't come out again.

With [Short-distance Teleportation] as a base and a few spell books as a reference, Xia Duo is still very good at studying [Long-distance Teleportation].

[Teleportation] From the 4th ring to the 5th ring, it is not only a breakthrough in the transmission distance, but also a breakthrough in the positioning method. Currently, the [Long-distance Teleportation] researched by Xia Duo can also be called [Fixed-point Teleportation].

It's not that there are other materials such as fuzzy teleportation, random teleportation, and precise teleportation, but [fixed-point teleportation] is the most accurate and the easiest to operate, with almost no accidents, so it can be called the first choice for beginners.

And if you want to teleport at a fixed point, you need to leave a [Teleportation Imprint] at the target location in advance, similar to the [Secret Imprint] of level 0, but this [Teleportation Imprint] is a 5th-level spell.

According to the spell book, this spell actually casts the teleportation in advance, thus forming a "reverse teleportation" effect. After that, as long as the caster does not exceed the limit of the teleportation distance, he can return to the place where the mark is located at any time. Location.

This spell can also be blocked by [Dimensional Anchor] and [Forbidden Art].

There is another fixed-point teleportation method, but that requires extremely precise positioning, and compared to this method of "reverse teleportation" first, the risk is still higher.

Xia Duo didn't consider the difficulty of spells, because as far as he was concerned, as long as they were not completely incomprehensible like a heavenly book, they could be learned and mastered in the end. His main considerations were safety and accuracy.

It would be a tragedy if one could not teleport into the stone or magma.

At the same time, this spell involves the long-term retention of imprints, which is related to [Magic Constancy]. In fact, [Magic Constancy] is not a specific spell, but a design theory for specific spells.

Make the elements of the spell go round and round, so that the spell will not be disintegrated by the tendency of the magic net to restore itself, so that the spell effect can exist forever.

However, Xia Duo doesn't believe that any spell can exist forever. Even a mytho will naturally collapse and disintegrate one day, let alone just a spell!

But the long-term retention must have been verified by a group of mages, and the verification time is indeed very long.

In addition, the complexity of casting "Constant Magic" is far more complex than normal one-time spells. After all, it involves the cycle of elements. Even if the plan is researched in advance, the actual casting is quite complicated.

In fact, it is easy to understand from another angle. "Constant Magic" is equivalent to casting a spell countless times. If the difficulty of casting the spell is very low, then why use normal spells?

……

When a researcher devotes himself to the research, time flies, and more than ten days have passed in a flash.

After more than ten days of research and sorting, Xia Duo sorted out the preliminary elements and structural design of [Transfer Imprint]. In this version, there are more than [-] elements in total, divided into more than ten element units.

The largest cyclic unit contains more than two hundred elements.

Even the 5th ring [Mage Armor] doesn't need 5 elements. This also [-]th ring [Teleportation Mark] is extremely complicated.

Moreover, the difficulty of casting spells is not directly proportional to the number of elements, but as the number of elements increases, the difficulty of casting spells increases almost exponentially. Just think about the difficulty of using one mind for two purposes, and one mind for three or four purposes.

When casting a spell, the caster must precisely control the operation of each element. If the spell fails, it is already the best consequence. If it is serious, it will directly die on the spot.

This is determined by the nature of spellcasting. If there are alternative spellcasting tools in the future, allowing tools to cast spells instead of humans, by then, perhaps mage apprentices will be able to manipulate 9-level magic at will.

Of course, correspondingly, the emergence of this revolutionary technology will also smooth out the power gap between individuals. Perhaps that is the era when magic civilization will truly flourish.

Now Xia Duo can't think so far, so he can only try hard to cast this super complicated spell by himself.

……

This is the preliminary plan, and it is not completely perfect. Xia Duo is perfecting, familiarizing himself with, and practicing at the same time. Except for the time for eating, sleeping, and focusing on training, he has made full use of the rest of the time.

During this period, Leiden hardly bothered him because of the territory, except for Atwood's selection of Druid apprentices in the Great Xia Territory.

I don't know what Atwood is thinking, the holy power is gone, and he still wants to train druids, Xia Duo specially "came out" and talked with him in detail.

In the end he was given three places, two Netherese children and one Langas child.

Because Atwood refused to go to Cormanthor to worship the main god of the elves, he was expelled and lost his holy power. This incident made Xia Duo suspicious. In the real world, I don't know what is the relationship between Druids and the main god of elves.

Therefore, in this aspect of the choice, he is more cautious.

These three children are not so much druid apprentices, but rather "prepared agricultural bachelors". Although Atwood has lost his holy power, his knowledge and insight are still there, and he is still a proper expert in the field of plants.

Xia Duo also took a fancy to this, so he kept him in the territory.
