[Interactive Codex Lecture Technique] If it were implemented using mithril component magic items, it would definitely not be as troublesome as it is now.

It's a pity that mithril component magic items have a natural lifespan far inferior to those of magic constant type and must be maintained regularly.

The code sculpture is placed in the center of the square just for the citizens to use, and the frequency is probably not low. If it needs to be maintained at every turn, then how can it be done!

Will the citizens associate the incompetence of the sculpture with the incompetence of the code?

Xia Duo couldn't answer this question, but he knew that he could completely prevent this question from arising.

Then you can only use magic to stabilize it, but the threshold for stability of the 8-level [Interactive Codex Preaching Technique] is too high, so a trick version appeared.

"Thanks to Niya for reminding me, otherwise I might have been in trouble!"

The so-called "cunning version" is actually very simple. It is not the 8-ring spell designed by Constant Shado, but the "open port" of the Tower Spirit of Constant Time, allowing the Tower Spirit to do what the spell was supposed to do. , and even more!

And this "open port", or "Tower Spirit Connector within the influence of the Tower of Time", is essentially just a level 1 spell, and its only purpose is to call the Tower Spirit within the influence of the Tower of Time.

The Tower of Time badge owned by the official Tower of Time mages uses this solution, allowing mages to contact the tower spirit outside the Tower of Time.

If the authority is sufficient, you can also call for spell support at any time, or teleport for evacuation.

Naturally, the code sculpture does not require high authority, as long as the tower spirit can answer inquiries about the content of the code from users near the sculpture.

If the territory expands in the future and more code squares need to be built, the "open port" can be upgraded, which can support the tower spirit's response at any time within a maximum range of 20 miles.

There is no way to do it further away. Even Xia Duo cannot directly contact the tower spirit. Only Niya, the tower master, can.

However, when it is necessary to build Codex Square further away, there may be other alternatives.

At the worst, you can continue with the 8-ring [Interactive Codex Propaganda Technique] constant plan!

…

For the current Xia Duo, the stability of the open port of the tower spirit is almost as easy as having a hand, and this step of stability can be completed effortlessly.

At this point in the code sculpture, the core functions are actually completed.

But there is only this one constant effect, and the intensity of its magical aura is just like the badge in the hand of the Tower of Time mage. It is too weak and is really not worthy of its huge size.

If guests from out of town come to visit, they may feel contempt when seeing such a sculpture. Its shocking effect may be worse than the effect of any unstable magic!

Xia Duo had already prepared for this. In addition to the highest level 8-level protection spell he could maintain, he also prepared a pseudo-9th-level spell.

Apart from having the aura intensity of a 9th level spell, this spell has no practical effect and is just used to bluff people.

Of course, Xia Duo did add 9-ring elements into it, but he just used it as an energy level upgrade to manifest the aura.

Its simplicity can basically be regarded as a 9-ring magic trick, even worse than a magic trick. It just slightly plucked a certain magic network string on the ninth layer of the magic network and fixed it.

The other elements of its spell all serve this solidification action, and the only 9-ring element does not participate in the entire spell's element cycle.

To be honest, if Xia Duo had not been prepared beforehand and asked Xia Duo to come up with a temporary plan, he might not have been able to come up with it.

This is about maintaining the [Blazing Sun Array] in the watchtower last month. As a result, Xia Duo learned the 9th-level spell [Blazing Sun] and used it to gain access to the ninth layer of the magic network.

For the time being, Sha Duo has no way to stabilize a real 9th-level spell for the physical code, but it is not that difficult to let the code bring the aura of a 9th-level spell.

Think about it, if an outsider comes to Daxia Territory in the future and sees the iconic code sculpture, and finds that it exudes an extremely strong magical aura, wouldn't it be more shocking than any spell that can shock the soul!

Although such a trick cannot be hidden from an archmage or senior arcanist who has access to the ninth level of the magic network, it is almost impossible to see through the people below.

And the archmage or senior arcanist who can come to the Codex Square, which is located in the hinterland of the territory and at the foot of the Tower of Time, is not to say that they are all allies of Shado, at least they are not enemies (enemies who come are destined to die~).

It will still give him some face, if you see through it, don't tell him.

Even if he is exposed, it doesn't matter. By then, he will probably be able to imbue the Codex Sculpture with a real 9-level spell. This incident will only add a bit of legend to him, and will not become a joke.

Somehow, Shado suddenly thought of the Archmage Sandro whom he had met at the Mystical Temple of Severton. After gaining immortality through the Immortality Ceremony, his name became a taboo.

Of course, it's not the taboo of creating a large number of undead creatures, but the unspeakable taboo that can be sensed whenever someone mentions Sandro's name.

Similar to Vader's Grand Arcanist, Vader did not obtain this ability by transforming into an inhuman being, but achieved it through magic.

"Well, maybe it's necessary for me to build a special detection circle for my name!"

But then Xia Duo smiled mockingly to himself. If he had naturally acquired some extraordinary ability to perceive, that would be fine. If he went out of his way to do these things, then there was really no need.

You must know that most high-level mages have [Avoid Detection] almost all the time. If you want to penetrate this layer of spell effects to detect, you don't know how much more it will cost.

As for high-level mages and below, how many conspiracies and secrets can be talked about?

Shado had no way of guessing the true thoughts of Grand Arcanist Vader. Anyway, he himself felt that doing so was not worth it.

…

After stabilizing the "Nine Rings of Aura", the Codex sculpture is considered complete. All it needs to do is wait for the Elemental Fountain to be built in the square between the Towers of Time and put it there.

Before that, Xia Duo was ready to try it out himself.

However, as a high-authority person in the Tower of Time, Shado is almost always under the attention of the Tower Spirit inside the Tower of Time. At this moment, he is trying it out in the Arcane Garden. Without going to Niya for confirmation, it will be difficult for him to tell the difference between the Tower Spirit and the Tower Spirit. Did he answer him because of the code sculpture, or did he answer him because of his own authority.

It just so happened that the territory was recently vigorously promoting the laws and regulations related to granting fields, so Xia Duo simply brought the law sculpture to the altar square of the territory.

Randomly choosing a place with few people, he put the code sculpture out of the portable space.

"Wow--"

As soon as the sculpture was released, Xia Duo heard bursts of exclamations, and some of the citizens who had put the code lectures in the Altar Square gathered around curiously, looking like they wanted to come forward but didn't dare.

Xia Duo didn't care about this. Someone happened to be there, and he set an example in front of these people.
