Lord of Arcane

Chapter 931 Unlocking the Mystery of the Difficulty Mystery
"No matter what the elves think, this incident happened in the territory of Netheril. We have no other choice but to eliminate the impact as soon as possible!" Byron's message revealed helplessness and deep dissatisfaction.

"Okay, let's move on to the problem of the mythos. I have found the core node of the mythos at the material level. By destroying this node, the mythos can be destroyed."

"That's great!" Xia Duo suddenly felt the joy of seeing the sun behind the clouds. As long as the mysteries here can be solved, the source of the murlocs can be cut off, and the previous cleaning is just a matter of time.

However, compared to his optimism, Byron's performance was quite dull, and there was a hint of irritability in the plainness, "Do you know what is the core of the myth here? It's the entire Lake Mecht!"

"A whole Lake Mecht?!" Xia Duo was very surprised.

According to all the information he knows about Mysuo, the core of Mysuo is either a movable object, a fixed ancient tree, or a building, and there are very few pools.

There has never been a Misuo like this, with the entire lake as the core, and it is also a large lake with a diameter of four to five kilometers.

This is simply beyond his imagination.

What's more troublesome is that if you want to make the mythos disappear here, unless someone is proficient in the knowledge and skills of the mythos, and can carry out technical release, otherwise, you can only destroy the entire Lake Mecht.

This is really a headache!

Xia Duo also knew why Byron's performance was so mediocre. It was easy to destroy the small core of the mythos, but how to destroy such a large lake!
Not to mention the impact after the destruction, it may be too great. If it is more serious, the southern border may be lost because of it. Without water connection, it is difficult for the southern border to get the support of the core area.

It is difficult to continue to develop only relying on portals or teleportation circles.

In a sense, the border of Nether was defined by border towns like Savile Territory and Conifera City, which was equivalent to enclosing land in advance.

In a broad sense, the territory of Nether actually refers to a large area of ​​land surrounded by border towns. As for the narrow sense, or what the elves think, it is naturally only human settlements.

Many disputes between humans and elves stem from this. It is only in the past few decades that Netheril has become stronger, and elves seem to have defaulted and have not made a sound.

But if the southern border shrinks naturally, then the elves may not make a fuss here, and it may even be possible to expand the border here.

And the elves here are mainly Comanthor!

Could it be that the reason why the elves created the murlocs was to cut off the non-magical communication between the southern border and the core area of ​​Nether, and then reduce the size of Nether's territory?
Xia Duo denied this guess after a moment of thought. It is expensive to arrange a fanx, and with the scale of the fanx here, it is impossible for a high-level elf mage to preside over it.

It is necessary to have multiple senior mages and lead more senior mages together to make the arrangement successful.

Is it just to reduce the size of Nether's territory after spending so much effort?
In fact, even from Lake Mecht to the north, all the way to the core area, there are still large areas of undeveloped areas, and this kind of compression will not see results for a long time.

Could it be that the elves have considered such a long-term perspective, going hundreds or even thousands of years away?

It's possible, but not necessary.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little headache. Anyway, his foundation is in the southern border. People in the interior can give up, but he can't.

He looked at Byron expectantly, and asked, "Master Byron, is it possible to remove the mysteries without destroying Lake Mecht?"

"Of course it is possible, but I may not be able to do it, and even the whole of Netheril may not be able to do it!"

In this regard, Byron was also very helpless, Mysuo is not his field of expertise, but he still said, "You can try it, I will send you out of the range of Mysuo first!"

"No, master, I want to stay and help!" Xia Duo said hastily, "The south is my territory, and I can't just ignore it!"

He couldn't miss such a good opportunity to get in touch with Mysuo. Since Master Byron is so talkative, he must seize it.

Hearing Xia Duo's answer, Byron couldn't help being a little surprised. At first he thought Xia Duo was just asking casually, but now it seems that this young man really wants to try a way to release the core without destroying it.

This is somewhat unrealistic.

But he brought Xia Duo here to investigate Mysuo, and his original intention was to let young people learn something from him, not necessarily Mysuo, but it could be.

Especially after seeing Xia Duo's extraordinary insight and analysis ability just now, he is full of expectations for the future of this young man.

So he didn't refuse, and reminded:
"Then you have to think about it clearly. Although there is no spellcaster in charge of this mystical lock, the creator may not have set up a corresponding countermeasure mechanism. Once it starts, it will be an unknown battle. Even I cannot guarantee your safety. "

"Master, don't worry, I've already thought it through, and please give me any order!"

With the portable space, the worst thing for Xia Duo is to stay in it until the Mecht Lake is destroyed, and then he will come out again. The mere ruins of the Mystic lock can't stop him now.

……

Now that he had made a decision, Byron began to explain the basic principles of the mythos to Xia Duo, thinking that Xia Duo could really help, instead of adding chaos.

Although Byron himself was not optimistic about such an attempt, there was still such a glimmer of hope, but it was only small.

At the same time, he didn't want to deny the determination of such a young man with potential, who was unwilling to give up and dared to try, even if such determination lacked the support of reality in his opinion, it seemed a bit illusory.

But it also reminded him of the teachings of his teacher when he was young. If it wasn't for the teacher's encouragement back then, how could he be what he is now!
It's a pity that the teacher's talents were limited, and he failed to learn the life extension spell in the end. He passed away shortly after introducing him to Master Congeenio.

Thinking about the past, Byron couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. Such emotions are usually difficult to appear on him, but unexpectedly, they were triggered during a trip to the south.

While experiencing this rare emotion silently, Byron explained to Xia Duo the mystery of the magic lock:
"The reason why mythos can become the highest skill of elf magic is that it can change the macroscopic structure of the magic net.

"What we usually change by casting spells is only part of the state of the magic net strings that make up the magic net, and the impact on the macro magic net is almost negligible!
"It's like, we can disturb a small amount of water at will, but it is difficult to control the undercurrent of the river, or even the direction of the entire river. Mysuo is such a technology that manipulates the undercurrent and affects the direction of the river!"
