Lord of Arcane

Chapter 526 Sandbox identification technique is beggar-thy-neighbor
[Appraisal] is a very special spell. In Xia Duo's understanding, it is actually very similar to the sandbox used when testing software or programs. It can simulate the use of magic items from the bottom.

In other words, only mages who can cast Level 3 [Identification] can identify magic items containing Level 3 spells. If the magic item contains spells higher than Level 3, then Level 3 [Identification] will not work well.

Because there is no "full coverage".

Of course, just like the sandbox test cannot see the source code of the program being tested, [Identification] can only identify the relevant functions of the magic item. As for the specific details of the spell, there is no way to directly obtain it.

However, sometimes knowing the function, you can actually research the specific details of the spell yourself, similar to knowing the function of a piece of software, and then imitating it is very easy.

Xia Duo not only needs to know the "lock" on the spell book, but also needs to know the contents inside and some details of manufacturing. At this time, the role of [identification] is very limited.

Not to mention it is a [identification technique] with a maximum level of 5.

……

Referring to the spell notes, Xia Duo performed an unskilled spellcasting, and almost at the moment he finished casting, a light group "sandbox" wrapped the spellbook.

In Xia Duo's perception, this light group is constantly infiltrating the spell book, and at the same time it seems to be running some energy flow routes, just because the part above the 5th ring is missing, it seems to be an incomplete program running in a sandbox. Dexia was at a loss.

Similarly, even if it is an incomplete program, it is still possible to find a trace of the whole from the machine language at the lowest level. This identification also allowed Xia Duo to understand some of the energy flow below the 5th ring level.

Taking out a blank notebook, Xia Duo recorded the results of the first appraisal for the convenience of communicating with Niya.

Deciphering magic items is a very complex system engineering. In theory, even if it is linked to the ninth floor of the magic net, only Xia Duo and Niya can complete the deciphering.

It's just that the greater the difference between the level of the magic net that you are exposed to and the level of the magic net that the magic item is linked to, the more difficult it is to crack. It is not only difficult in terms of theoretical depth, but also difficult in terms of workload.

Xia Duo is ready for a protracted war.

Of course, in the process of cracking, Xia Duo can also start to prepare his own spell book design. Compared with each other, the two can promote each other.

Similar to design, learn while learning, and improve while learning.

……

Just as Xia Duo was recording the results of the second [Identification Technique], Niya returned to the laboratory with a tall and strong orc with stiff movements.

As if seeing Xia Duo's puzzled eyes, Niya explained: "These orcs have been given control magic by the mages of Giles Tower, and they look a little inflexible."

"Are there still many orcs here in Sevington?" Xia Duo asked.

"Not many, there are very few large-scale animal swarms in the interior, but the elf kingdom Akola in the Ristar Forest in the east implements a closed policy, and rarely participates in cleaning up the orcs. Further to the southeast is Comanthor. They will only Clean up the orcs on their side, and sometimes even drive the orcs to the territory of Nether, so every year, many orcs cross the Airi River and sneak into the territory of Nether!"

Speaking of this, Niya glanced at the orc, "These orcs can't pose too much threat to the mainland, but because the orcs are rough and thick, and difficult to tame, they have become the best dangerous test subjects for various mage towers. "

"That's right!" Xia Duo nodded, and didn't delve into this issue carefully. If he really wanted to discuss it, he couldn't finish it all day and night, but he was very shameless about Comanso's practice of beggar-thy-neighbor.

Perhaps this is the so-called international exchange. Talking about good-neighborliness and friendship on the one hand, playing cooperation with one hand, and directly stabbing a knife with the other hand, it is really not particular.

There is no better way to stab the knife directly, but the elves are still playing art.

Glancing at the orc with stiff movements again, Xia Duo said directly: "Prepare for the experiment, can you control this orc?"

"Yes, Ta Ling has transferred the control authority of this orc to me, but the orc may have deviations in understanding the Nether language. Ta Ling also reminded me when I applied just now, not to conduct too complicated experiments. "

After finishing speaking, Niya ordered directly: "Pick up the book in front of you!"

The orc raised his arm, and finally put it down again, with a trace of confusion on his seemingly fierce face. Niya didn't expect that the orc couldn't understand such a simple order.

So I changed to a simpler command, and at the same time pointed to the spell book: "Take it!"

This time the orc's reaction was quite correct, but when the orc wanted to grab the lead box directly, Niya stopped immediately. She first poured out the spell book from the lead box, and then gave the order again.

It was finally all right this time. When the spell book was held in the rough gray palm of the orc and nothing happened, Xia Duo and Niya both heaved a sigh of relief.

It’s okay for this spell book to be held by Padick, but it doesn’t mean that it’s okay for other people to hold it, especially after seeing Padick’s son Sean awaken his bloodline, Xia Duo and Niya both have feelings for this spell book. guessed.

Maybe it has something to do with blood.

For example, it cannot be used if it is not a descendant of Master Feld, and it cannot be used without awakened blood, and so on.

In fact, the safer way is to let Xiao En come over to decipher and analyze after he becomes a mage, but Xia Duo can't wait that long, so he can do it himself.

Afterwards, Niya repeatedly tested the touch experiments in various situations, but none of them triggered any spells. Xia Duo wanted to try it himself. If Feld specially set that only orcs would not trigger the spells in the spell book, then he would Really convinced.

While the protective spell was still there, Xia Duo started to hold it directly. It felt completely different from holding it with a lead box attached. It was much lighter than he expected, even lighter than ordinary parchment books.

Should be a constant weight reduction spell.

Xia Duo tried to open it, but the spell book didn't seem to be a book, but a whole piece of stone carved out of the spell book, and there was no sign that it could be opened.

He didn't dare to use too much force, otherwise, with his strength, he might be judged as destroying the spell book, and maybe the spell would be triggered at that time.

"Come and try." Xia Duo handed the spell book to Niya, who also tried to open it, but failed.

It seems that the opening of the spell book has nothing to do with gender.

"Ugh--"

Looking at the unresponsive spell book like a piece of wood, Xia Duo couldn't help sighing, "It seems that we can only go to the last step!"

Niya nodded, "It's a pity indeed."

Looking at the current situation, it should be impossible to open this spell book without destroying it at all.

A intact magic item, even a little bit of damage, will greatly reduce its value.

Of course, sometimes the value of a magic item like a spell book does not lie in its use, but in the knowledge contained in it. If something can be gained, even if it is completely destroyed, it can be regarded as a "deserved death".
