Arcane Lord

However, Xia Duo still had to ask questions about the Ruins of Dreams. After all, now that he knew a little more, he would be more confident about getting there.

"Teacher Iolum, how much do you know about the Ruins of Dreams? Is the time loop really unbreakable? If this is the case, then if the target cannot be found within the time of a loop, wouldn't it be impossible to find it forever? ?”

After saying that, Shado looked at Iolum expectantly. If he could really get some methods to break the time loop from the other party, then the next exploration would be more confident.

Cliff said that the Ruins of Dreams were similar to the projection plane, but Shado almost immediately thought of a possibility.

In the most extreme case, the time loop only lasts less than one second, and he may even be trapped in it before he has time to react, and then continue to cycle inside, unable to escape.

That situation is really terrifying. If the cycle were repeated more times, even if you could escape in the end, your entire lifespan would probably have been exhausted.

Then he can only stay in the star realm forever and cannot return to the main plane.

Although it is unlikely that the imagined extreme situation will occur in reality, it must also be considered whether the cycle time can support a complete exploration.

If he had just entered the projection plane and was about to go out, and then encountered a plane reset and a time loop, that would be tragic enough, and it would be almost impossible to achieve his goal.

It is best to have a way to break the cycle, at least not to be affected by the time cycle, similar to "jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements".

But after Sha Duo asked, Iolum shook his head repeatedly, "This is the second time I heard the name 'Dream Ruins'. Cliff only found out about it before after asking me. I don't know more than you do." . You don’t think that because I have lived longer than others, I know everything?”

"Then what other suggestions does the teacher have?"

"My suggestion is that since the Ruins of Dreams is also a projection plane, then be prepared to go to the projection plane. As for the length of a single cycle, I don't think you need to worry too much. If the time is too short, maybe the projection position The face has long been dissolved by the star realm."

After saying that, Iolum seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly took out a silver necklace with sapphire pendants from the dimensional bag, and waved it to Sha Duo:

"This is a gadget I made in my spare time. It can transform ectoplasm. If you want to go to the star realm, bring it with you!"

Xia Duo quickly took the necklace with both hands and looked at it carefully. It was a protective magic item and seemed to have some functions that he could not see in a short time.

Perhaps it was the "transformation ectoplasm" that Iolum called, but Shado did not see any essential difference between it and ordinary magic items.

If you don't understand, just ask. Faced with a very easy-to-talk teacher, Xia Duo will naturally not miss this opportunity. He immediately took the necklace and asked.

Regarding Sha Duo's question, Iolum did not explain too much, but just like before, with a wave of his hand, a thin booklet on the bookshelf behind him flew down and fell directly into Sha Duo's hands:

"This is an overview of the star realm written by Teacher Ain. Just read it here!"

Written by Congenio?

Xia Duo didn't bother to put away the necklace, and immediately opened the page of the book. It seemed that the handwriting was still copied by hand. Of course, it could also be written with a spell similar to [Scribe].

The book only has a total of more than ten pages, and Xia Duo flipped through them all in three or two times. Compared with the books about the astral world that he read from the Giles Tower Library, this book is not more profound, but rather very simple.

This is just an overview of some of the characteristics of the Star Boundary and things to pay attention to when traveling to the Star Boundary.

Most of them are already known to Xia Duo, but there are also a few parts that he has almost never come into contact with before, that is, some situations where the true body goes to the star realm.

When he was in Lesen Territory just now, Cliff only said that he would set out from Giles Tower, but did not say that he wanted to go to the star realm. But judging from Iolum's attitude now, it seems that going to the ruins of dreams requires the body to enter the star realm. of!

Sha Duo had not considered this before, and only thought that the Ruins of Dreams might be just a collection of projection planes, and consciousness could be directly projected there through the plane exploration array.

Now it seems that it may not be that simple.

This thin booklet mentioned that matter in the material world will be automatically converted into astral matter when it enters the astral realm, having some of its original properties and some additional properties unique to the astral realm.

The so-called "transformation of ectoplasm" refers to retaining as many of the original properties of matter as possible, such as the hardness of fine gold, the energy conductivity of mithril, etc.

After entering the star realm, ordinary magic items usually only have their original appearance but no original magic effects. They are useless in the hands of ordinary people.

Even in the hands of a spell caster, the effect shown is only the expression of the caster's will in a special spiritual world like the star world.

Only some extremely powerful magic items, as well as magic items with the ability to transform ectoplasm, can retain more of their original effects.

In addition, there are some special spells that can create physical projections in the astral world. In this case, magic items with the properties of transforming ectoplasm can also be projected simultaneously and have the same functions and effects as the original body.

No matter which way you go to the Dream Ruins next, it seems that you need equipment to convert ectoplasm.

Can I still use my existing magic equipment and items?

Congenio's overview of the astral realm mentioned that most of the magic items made with magic constants directly have the property of converting ectoplasm, but they all need to involve at least the third layer of the magic network.

As for the magic items created with mithril components, unless they are extremely powerful and involve the tenth level of the magic network, they do not have the ability to transform ectoplasm.

If both manufacturing methods are taken into account, only the part of the effect that is constantly created using magic can be relatively completely projected to the astral realm.

In other words, the [Crimson Protection Robe] that Xia Duo is currently wearing will be a defective product when worn in the star realm, and most of the talismans will directly lose their effectiveness.

[Pioneer Scepter], the magic item that Shado is most looking forward to, is not immune. Although Shado has never cracked it, it is certain that it takes into account both manufacturing methods.

This is the same as the [Crimson Protection Robe], and it will be a defective product in the star realm.

In a spiritual world like the Star Boundary, if the [Pioneer Scepter] can be used normally, it can be called the most suitable magic item for use in the Star Boundary.

And it may also have some incredible special effects due to the special environment of the star realm!

Pity!
