Lord of Arcane

Chapter 573
The sun is slanting to the west, and dusk is coming, and the surface of Mecht Lake reflects the dim sunset, making it very peaceful.

However, when Xia Duo turned around, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce's busy work was not in harmony with this peaceful environment. Not long ago, Myers sent him a message because the task of collecting murloc slime had not been completed. The mage will come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

It depends on the productivity of Miles' side.

And Miles has also decided to let his workers collect all night, and must complete the task before noon tomorrow, so that when the archmage comes to clean up the murlocs here, he can return immediately.

Xia Duo had no objection to this, he just ordered his own fleet to strengthen its vigilance, and after ordering the fleet to stay away from the big ship of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, he personally deployed a warning magic.

Before going to bed, Xia Duo slightly adjusted the types and levels of magic net storage spells, mainly leaning towards concealment and mobility, such as illusion, invisibility, flight, teleportation and the like.

As for breaking spells, one is to forcibly smooth the magic net [Dispel Magic], and the other is to use one's own knowledge to [Spell Counter], the former is a specific spell, but Xia Duo doesn't think he can completely undo the magician's spell. Spells, so it is enough to have a magic scroll for backup.

On the other hand, [Counterspell] has no set pattern, and it will be performed entirely based on its own knowledge. The snowmelt competition in early May has not been long, and Xia Duo has learned a lot of experience, and he is still a little confident in this regard.

Even the Archmage is not completely invincible.

But his purpose is not to engage in a magic confrontation with the archmage. Xia Duo knows that even if he wins the spell confrontation, it doesn't make much sense. If the archmage really wants to run, he can't catch up.

The main priority is to ensure that you can get out.

The magic net's stored spells are almost instantaneous, and the only downside is that any spell must be stored in advance, and it will be used up when it is used up, and it will not recover by itself.

But as an additional spell system independent of itself, this deficiency can be completely ignored. I don't know how many mages count on the magic net to store spells for food!
Although Xia Duo does not completely rely on magic net storage spells, he also attaches great importance to this aspect, but his ability to cast spells on the spot is still qualified. Therefore, in terms of magic net storage spells, he has always been for the purpose of running away and is always ready. with.

It's just a tweak this time around to better deal with possible Archmage enemies.

……

Peaceful night.

Neither the expected murloc attack nor the archmage raid happened, and the first thing Xia Duo did after waking up was to deal with a bunch of status spells, such as [avoid detection], [magic alarm clock], [delayed teleportation], [Long-lasting armor] and the like.

Most of these spells last for more than 24 hours. Xia Duo will brush them every day when he gets up, especially when he is out of the house, let alone forget them.

After finishing this, Xia Duo began to wash and eat, which he supplied at Giles Tower before he left. Although it was not delicious, it was not bad.

After breakfast, Xia Duo came to the deck outside. First officer Ruth had arranged for people to fish here, and the other ships in the fleet were similar, but this time they were not for "fishing" murlocs, but Xia Duo. He ordered that fish catch subsidies be used to make up for the food consumption on board.

Looking at the big ship of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, Miles had already gotten up, and was talking to a person in charge on the deck. Xia Duo waved his hand, and the other party responded immediately, waved his hand, and sent a message at the same time:

"Sorry, Lord Xiaduo, for delaying your trip."

"It's okay, it's just an extra day of waiting." Xia Duo was very generous, but he still asked about the situation of the collection task. After all, if you can go back early, you should go back as soon as possible.

"It will probably be completed at noon, and Archmage Timothy will come over at that time. I will also ask Lord Xiaduo to help search for the location of the murlocs."

"Good to say."

……

Whether it is fighting or searching, it is necessary to maintain a good state. Xia Duo did not do any magic research, but sat quietly on the bow of the boat, as if watching the scenery.

But in fact, he was sorting out the materials in the portable space, the books transcribed from the Gilles Tower, the [Projection Plane], and his past experimental records.

He has done similar sorting before, but every time he rearranges, he will come up with different ideas. This is probably "learning while learning" and "reviewing the past to learn the new"!
This time, he arranged a library-like form in a corner of the portable space, and put all the notes and materials into categories for easy reading next time.

Moreover, this time he no longer classifies from the perspective of application, such as protection, defense, support, etc., but classifies from the principle of spells, which are roughly the current mainstream [creation], [change] and spells in Netheril. [Mind] These three departments.

As for Xia Duo's current main research field of [Plane], it spans the two departments of [Creation] and [Change], which is a proper interdisciplinary field.

The purpose, of course, is to make better use of the portable space.

As for the [Mind] system, the Judgment Spell series that Xia Duo brought back from the [Projection Plane] is called [Mind Spell] in Netheril, but he does not plan to study it in depth, it can be used. .

In addition to having already selected the direction of future research, more importantly, seeing the [Pioneer Scepter], he has no motivation for research. Others have even made magic items that are immune to mind spells, and he also got one. How much power can there be!

Although this scepter cannot be absolutely immune to all psychic spells, at least for now, Xia Duo has not seen any psychic spells that can break through the protection of the [Pioneer Scepter].

Occasionally, Xia Duo also called this scepter [Scepter of Spiritual Protection].

……

Time came to noon in a blink of an eye, Myers had completed the collection task ahead of schedule, and the workers had already returned to the cabin to rest, but Myers did not release the control of the "corpse" murlocs gathered at the bow.

"Lord Xiaduo, Archmage Timothy has set off and will be coming soon!" Miles sent another message.

Xia Duo didn't reply, but stood up silently, stood at the bow of the boat, and looked at the big ship of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce not far away.

Well, the distance is a bit far, and it is beyond the scope of [Delayed Teleportation].

If it is an ordinary mage, there is probably nothing that can be done at this time.

But Xia Duo has long understood the principle of [Delayed Teleportation]. It just stylized the caster's own active recognition and turned it into a specific spell that can be automatically recognized.

It's not that with this spell, the ability to recognize teleportation is gone, it still exists.

Moreover, the active ability of one's own body and the passive ability of spells can basically be compared to "fine workmanship" and "mass product". There is a gap between the two.

In fact, although he can't interfere with the teleportation that may appear over there, it is still no problem to detect it in advance, even if the advance amount is small.

But even the advance amount of automatic spell recognition is very small, but the spell will be automatically delayed (can be turned off), and it is basically too late for the caster to actively delay after recognizing the teleportation.

Therefore, spells have both convenience and limitations.
