Lord of Arcane

Chapter 673 The Encryption Paradox Asks Again
According to Xia Duo's understanding, the design of spell books can actually be divided into two layers: engineering and design, where engineering refers to the specific manufacturing, and design refers to the design at the magic level.

Xia Duo's design of the spellbook is actually designing the structure of various functions of the spellbook's magic level, which is a bit similar to software development on earth. From this perspective, he is also very experienced.

In essence, the functions of the spell book are all realized by the design of the magic level. The material body is just the carrier of magic. It may be important, but it is definitely not the core element.

In Xia Duo's plan, the spell book can be roughly divided into functions at the level of magic design: energy circulation, external protection, special functions, authority management, and central links.

The inner pages are regarded as plug-ins, and he did not include them in the spell book body. As long as the corresponding energy ports are left, the inner pages can be added or removed at will.

At present, Xia Duo has completed the design of [Energy Cycle], [External Protection], and [Special Function]. The reason why it is so fast is completely referring to Feld's spell book and adopting a relatively mature solution.

Among them, [Energy Cycle] is responsible for extracting energy from the magic net, through the buffer of the energy core of the spell book, to supply the consumption of various functions of the spell book;
[External Protection], as the name suggests, is to protect against various accidents other than the spell book, such as the reinforcement of the spell book body, the response to external attacks or cracking, etc.;

[Special function] refers to manipulation, suspension, positioning, etc., which are used for various functions of the spell book itself.

As for the remaining [Authority Management] and [Central Link]——

The former needs to be redesigned, while the latter is the link of various functions, and even needs a link hub. Before the design of [Authority Management] is completed, the part of [Central Link] cannot be completed.

The reason for redesigning the [authority management] of the spell book is actually that during the process of cracking Feld's spell book, Xia Duo discovered that the Feld spell book only has one outer authority verification. It means that the entire spell book is undefended.

As for the "modern" spellbook that Niya is currently using, its verification mechanism goes deep into the core, and even if the outer structure of the spellbook is cracked, further permissions cannot be obtained.

Although Niya did not disclose the specific authority verification mechanism of the spell book in her hand, Xia Duo guessed that her spell book probably only had one core authority, and once it was cracked, it would be defenseless.

Xia Duo wants to be more secure, so in terms of authority verification and authority management, it needs to be redesigned.

But in fact, there is a contradiction here:

All mages want their spell books to be encrypted as tightly as possible, but due to the particularity of mages, there are basically only two situations in which spell books are obtained by others——

One is the spoils after death (obtained by the enemy), and the other is gifted by oneself (children, friends, etc.).

In both cases, no matter whether the spell book is encrypted or not, it has little to do with the original owner.

In theory, it doesn't matter even if it is not encrypted at all. After all, no matter how tight the encryption is, it can be cracked. It's just a waste of people's time.

This is like a mobile phone on earth. The power-on password is actually not very useful, and it can still be cracked if it is stolen.

Having said that, when he was on Earth, Xia Duo would still set a password for his mobile phone, and now, he will still redesign a stricter spell book [authority management] system.

Perhaps there is also an idea of ​​"not letting you get it easily", but this idea hides the idea of ​​"not confident".

Perhaps this is human nature, contradictory and complex.

……

As the evening approached, Xia Duo closed his notes, stood up and moved his body. Before he knew it, he had sat for so long, but the design of the spell book hadn't been completed yet.

In fact, redesigning the permission system cannot design the whole thing at once. It must be verified from time to time and tested in conjunction with other functions.

Change as you write, write as you change.

But today, Xia Duo is not going to take the test anymore, and the kingkiller star has not receded, so he must maintain a good state at all times in order to deal with emergencies at any time.

Like half a month ago, dragging his tired body to slay a dragon, he never wanted to do it again.

After exercising for a while, Xia Duo sent a message to Niya, and after a while, the two met in the Arcane Garden.Xia Duo noticed that Niya seemed to be a little absent-minded, as if she had encountered something troublesome, so she took the initiative to ask:

"What's the matter? Has something happened to Severton?"

"No."

Niya smiled apologetically, "It's the supply camp to the east, those elves are making trouble again."

Hearing this answer, Xia Duo was a little surprised. He knew about the trouble caused by the elves before, but he didn't expect it to happen again. "It's only been less than a month, and it's already the third time! What do you want this time?"

In the previous two disturbances, those elf refugees asked Savile to provide them with sufficient food and rebuild their aesthetically pleasing residences.

The Savile Land satisfied the former, but sternly rejected the latter.

"They want tea, wine, and meat this time. It may be that the supplies they carried with them when they fled have been consumed. But in their current situation, it's too much to ask for such a request!"

Niya confided to Xia Duo her dissatisfaction with those elf refugees. If she could regret it, she would definitely ask the teacher to send someone else to deal with the troubles of the elf refugees.

"If you don't agree, those elves may flock to Savile Town! But if you agree, with so many elves, how can Savile have so much tea and wine for them, and I don't think the teacher is likely to do this for them. A kind of expense reimbursement!"

Niya is very distressed now, she sighed and looked at Xia Duo, "What do you think we should do now?"

"..."

Is the elf anti-customer, or is it a relapse?Xia Duo felt that such strange creatures shouldn't be allowed in. They are already refugees, so it's ridiculous to want to enjoy them like this.

But now that they have been released, they can't be driven away casually, and they can't be killed. It's really embarrassing!
Xia Duo tried to come up with a solution, "Why don't we tell them that our supplies are also very limited, and let them buy them with money, and the one with the highest price will get it?"

"It's okay, actually, I really want to cut off all their food now, to see if they still want tea and wine! I think those elves will always be a trouble if this goes on, and I have to find something for them to do!" Niya said. Face said firmly.

"I agree with this! We will have a meeting tomorrow to discuss it together. Now let's finish our dinner and go see Pamela and the others!"

"Ah."

　I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! !
