Arcane Lord

This part is not reflected in the abnormal state of the magic network or the alienated spell effects, but is hidden behind the etheric plane that completely overlaps with the main plane, making it quite secretive.

If Xia Duo's bloodline ability hadn't become active here, he might not have been able to detect the abnormality in a short period of time.

This phenomenon also reminded him of the strange fusion state of the unexplored areas in the ruins.

It's hard to say who caused whom, but Xia Duo feels that the next exploration process may be interesting.

Entering from the entrance of the mage tower, there are force field protection left by Rodit and others along the way, which saves Shado a lot of trouble.

But one thing he felt was strange. The creature that seemed to be composed of a force field that Rodit and others encountered last time never appeared this time.

There is also a shadow creature inside the Mage Tower, which is obviously closely connected to the Shadow Plane. There is even a shadow surge phenomenon, but there is still no shadow creature.

Of course, it may also be that the shadow plane linked here is in a relatively desolate area, and the overlapping state fluctuations between the etheric plane and here only brought the only etheric creature.

If Resker's people were attacked by ethereal creatures before, it would be difficult to survive.

In this way, Shado regarded the mysterious etheric creature as Abner's luck, but even so, he would not forget to be vigilant.

After passing through the hall at the entrance of the mage tower and the subsequent aisles, and finally passing through an open room covered with stones, Shado, Rodit and others met at the area that seemed to be the entrance of the warehouse.

…

As soon as Xia Duo arrived, before he had a chance to take a good look, Rodit couldn't wait to ask: "Lord Xia Duo, what should we do now?"

Others also showed expectant expressions, but Xia Duo just nodded slightly to a few people, and then said: "Let me observe first."

The information previously obtained from the spiritual link was all based on the observations of Rodit and others. Let’s not talk about the details. Just because they have not yet come into contact with the eighth layer of the magic network, they are missing several angles of observation from Xia Duo. , or level.

Not to mention, there was also the throbbing from the bloodline when he first arrived here, which made Xia Duo understand that the situation here was definitely more complicated than what Rodit and others passed into the spiritual link.

After talking to Rodit and others, Shado came to a position close to the warehouse door, concentrated on it, and used magic vision to observe the state of the door and the strings of the magic network extending around it.

This aspect is very different from what Rodit and others observed before, but Xia Duo's observation is more in-depth and closer to the truth here.

The gate is indeed in an active mage tower defense system, and at the same time the elemental pool - or more accurately, the fire elemental pool among the four elemental pools, appears here in a very strange state.

This almost challenged Sha Duo's basic understanding of magic.

You must know that the protection system of this mage tower is not strict. It only uses the suspected gold anchor points hidden in the gate and the tower as constant nodes.

If the elemental pool breaks into the elemental pool, all Sha Duo has to do is find and temporarily block the stress measures (including chain reactions) of the protection system, and then remove them in order or directly blast them forcefully.

But now that the element pool appears here, the situation becomes complicated.

The element pool is a physical array structure, how can it be mixed with the constant structure of the protection system!

Even if you want to use the element pool as a constant protection system function to obtain additional protection or stress effects, you still need a physical energy carrier to draw it out from the element pool!

Therefore, Xia Duo speculated that the elemental pool here is either some kind of real projection that can be connected to the constant spell and can effectively transmit energy.

Except for those areas with strange fusion of elemental pools, there are basically no protective spells in other areas of the mage tower.

Of course, there is another possibility, but that possibility is tricky——

This element pool is not actually located here, but where it should be. It is just due to the special spatial structure that the two places are merged together.

But this cannot explain the phenomenon that the elemental pool provides support and energy for protective spells.

Maybe there is some energy transmission method that Sha Duo doesn't know about!

No matter what the possibility was, Sha Duo felt that he might have underestimated the value of this relic. Of course, the premise was that he could parse out knowledge that he could understand from these unknown phenomena.

If not, no matter how high the value is, it means nothing to him.

…

After checking the microscopic and specific status of the strings of the Magic Network, Shado followed the process guided by the [Eye of Amasta Krinaz] spell, adjusted his perspective without casting a spell, and conducted a macro-level analysis of the Magic Network. observation on.

From a macro perspective, the Magic Network is generally still intact, but due to the complete overlap between this area and the etheric plane, part of the structure is missing.

Of course, this does not mean that part of the structure of the magic network has disappeared. The structure still exists, but it cannot be used because of the overlap of planes. It has almost disappeared.

If the overlapping state of planes is separated, or the effect of will is enhanced, to force distortion. Then, that part of the structure can still be used.

From this point of view, the original experimental accident in the mage tower did not reach the level of destroying the magic network. Of course, it may be a difference in direction. The original owner here did not specialize in the means of destroying the magic network.

Xia Duo judged that as time goes by, this ruins will eventually become exactly the same as other normal areas on the main plane. (Magic Network environment)

In fact, from the fact that random plane overlapping state fluctuations began to appear inside the mage tower, it can also be seen that the two planes will eventually be completely separated.

The folded space inside the Mage Tower will eventually collapse as the Mage Tower further declines.

Of course, it is also possible that when the planes are separated, the fusion state of the element pool and the protection system will become abnormal, which will accelerate the collapse of the mage tower.

However, there is a greater possibility, that is, the folded space inside the mage tower has actually failed long ago, and it was only because it was still overlapping with the etheric plane that it did not finally collapse.

In any case, Xia Duo knew that he had to speed up. After all, no one could guarantee that the place would not suddenly collapse in the next second.

"Mage Rodit, I still need to observe several other areas before I can decide how to try. You can follow me, or you can retreat outside the ruins and wait. What do you choose?"

"Lord Shado, is there any difference between these two options for us?" Rodit asked thoughtfully for the others.
