Arcane Lord

In the state of high mental tension during the action, the true emotions of Candela were inevitably sensed by Shado through the mental connection. After understanding the relevant background, he had to sigh that Candela was too self-deprecating.

The instant judgment of the front line, if there is no experienced commander, it is bound to be impossible to be so relaxed now. No matter how strong a weapon is, it depends on who uses it. If the user is a fool, it can only be a waste of such a good weapon.

And Candela is obviously not a fool. He is a real elite wizard among the upper elves in the elf world-not referring to the rank, but to the quality.

However, Shado will not explain anything. He is not the other party's nanny. It is the limit to take care of the other party's safety a little. There is no need to care about the other party's psychological construction.

...

Tanza Peak, inside the mountain.

With the light of annihilation leading the way, Candela quickly lifted the last line of defense of the Moon Shadow Family. Although the request for forbidden war spell support was rejected, it only increased the difficulty of capturing alive. For the Moon Shadow Family, the final outcome has long been doomed.

"Keep alert and keep moving forward!"

Kandela reminded his companions through the mental link while continuing to summon the light of annihilation to carry out targeted attacks on any suspicious magic facilities. Because it was in a confined space, the light and shadow in this secret base burst out for a while.

The members of the Moon Shadow Family who had been hiding for a long time finally showed up, but the attitudes of both sides were not very friendly when they met. Candela had just been attacked outside, so he was more vigilant now.

Almost at the moment when a strange elf appeared, Candela and his companions jointly cast a spell to suppress the other party, and the one who rushed out of the Moon Shadow Family was obviously not even a senior mage, let alone a high-level mage.

Even without Xia Duo's command and the coordinated support of his companions, Candela alone was enough to deal with it. In just a moment, before the two sides had time to have a substantial release, the elf lost all the available casting environment.

The next moment, he was imprisoned in place by Candela and his companions.

"Report, a target has been captured."

Kandela synchronized this information in the command network at the first time. At the same time, he did not forget to continue to summon the light of annihilation to clear all suspicious obstacles on the way to search for the base.

On the other side, Xia Duo also summoned the elf of the Moon Shadow family to Yongle City based on the positioning elements provided by Candela.

Then it is to skillfully make a copy of consciousness and then hand it over to the Alliance. In fact, with the high-level mage Carano, the value of making a copy of consciousness for ordinary members of the Moon Shadow family is not great.

But in addition to extracting intelligence and collecting information, the copy of consciousness also has a role that cannot be ignored, which is to conduct research in the field of consciousness.

Although Xia Duo can directly analyze subconscious information, he is not so arrogant as to think that he knows everything in the field of consciousness.

In fact, he has not yet broken through the artificial mental model!

Therefore, collecting more consciousness samples has become an important task to support research in this field. After all, the conclusions drawn only from one's own consciousness may not be universal enough, and more samples need to be verified.

It's just that normally, Xia Duo can't just catch a person and collect his consciousness copy. Regardless of whether the other party is willing or not, Xia Duo himself thinks it's inappropriate to do so.

After all, the consciousness copy contains almost all of a person's consciousness information. With the consciousness copy, as long as there is the ability to create a soul, a person who is exactly the same as the target but has a different self can actually be copied.

This kind of thing is something that almost no one who knows will agree to. Xia Duo can study his own consciousness copy, but he definitely doesn't want his consciousness copy to fall into the hands of others.

Putting himself in other people's shoes, he naturally can't collect their consciousness copies without the parties knowing the inside story.

Of course, except for enemies.

Enemies have no human rights or do not have the same human rights as friends. This is not only a clear rule recognized by the current Northland, but also in line with Xia Duo's own simple cognition.

It's obviously unreasonable to treat enemies better than your own people.

So basically, as long as the enemy falls into Xia Duo's hands, he will try his best to collect the other party's consciousness copy. If they are strong and have special identities, he will collect more, and if they are small minions, he will collect less.

After all, in addition to the research value, the information contained in the consciousness copy is also a huge treasure. For high-value treasures, it is natural to collect more to ensure that you can dig them up.

The consciousness of the minions is not absolutely without high-value information, but compared with those with strong strength and special identities, the possibility of knowing high-value information is greatly reduced.

Making consciousness copies is not completely free of cost. At least for now, spiritual materials must be used to preserve consciousness copies, and they must be of higher quality.

This kind of spiritual material is usually used to make tower spirits. At the Seventh Tower, one piece can be sold for at least 100,000 gold coins.

For Xia Duo, the Seventh Tower's one piece is different from his own. Through the division of the [Spiritual Closure Blade], he can divide the spiritual material into the smallest unit. The Seventh Tower's one piece can be divided into ten pieces by him.

But even so, the cost is relatively high, because this kind of high-quality spiritual material cannot be obtained through artificial synthesis at present, but can only be obtained from monsters in the etheric plane.

Of course, if the quality is not limited, Xia Duo previously introduced a cheap mass-produced spiritual material from Zhamdas that can be used.

Unfortunately, the quality of this mass-produced spiritual material is too low. It can indeed be used to preserve consciousness copies, but it is only "can". If it is really used to preserve, the shelf life is too short.

Xia Duo uses those mass-produced spiritual materials more to make second-generation communication instruments. Those materials do not even meet the requirements of computing power pool hardware (gateway instruments require high-quality spiritual materials), let alone preserve complete consciousness copies.

Perhaps a new source of cheap high-quality spiritual materials can be found in the future, but at least there is no source now. Not only Xia Duo does not have it, I am afraid that no one in the entire North can have it.

At present, all high-quality spiritual materials come from the etheric plane, which can only be obtained by hunting special creatures with psychic powers such as twisted phantoms.

The psionic materials and ectoplasm materials of psionic mages are not the same thing, but it is also a fact that Xamdas is one of the important sources of ectoplasm materials.
