Arcane Lord

One of the Austrian Fire functional sections that was still switching steadily suddenly began to emit a strange blue light. There are 124 functional sections, which may seem like a lot, but in fact the cycle is very short.

It's as short as switching every 12 seconds.

The moment he noticed the strange blue light appearing, Iolum realized that something was going wrong with the [Materialized Magic Network String].

After all, it is an energy creation, and it is an energy creation that has not touched the material level. It itself tends to be unstable. Now it has been washed away by a large flux of arcane energy and is on the verge of collapse.

Iolum sighed secretly, and then quickly moved backwards. At the same time, he also activated the magic calming field in the laboratory.

However, in an experiment of this intensity, even the same level of spells to stabilize the field would be difficult to effectively control, so Iolum directly pulled away from the micro-magic network that he had deployed.

The previous preparations are used here.

A normal independent arcane fire device requires the help of the Magic Network to penetrate deep into the elemental plane when it is activated, but it is no longer needed after it is activated.

But Iolum's creation is not a single arcane fire device, but a composite type, which is constantly starting and shutting down at every moment. (It is not yet possible to create a single and high-power one)

This also means that it must be in a Magic Network environment to work properly.

Correspondingly, once it leaves the magic network environment, it will be shut down instantly, but the energy buffered before must be released at once.

This is equivalent to the laboratory being hit by at least 124 standard 10th-level spells! (Standard spells refer to pure energy output, and the actual destructive power may not be as good as a 9-level spell)

But if they are not shut down, there will be more than 124, and maybe even the Austrian and French Federation will not be protected!

Without Brod's assistance at this moment, Iolum could only deal with the energy riot scene in front of him alone. Even though he had made various preparations, he still struggled to cope with it.

…

I don't know how much time has passed, but the energy of the laboratory riot has gradually returned to the magic network, and the magic network destroyed by the energy riot has also been repaired.

Only the damaged facilities and equipment in the laboratory need to be replaced.

This kind of loss is nothing to a great arcanist. It would be heartbreaking if it was still the time when Mithril was used for experiments!

After cleaning up the mess, Iolum did not rest, but immediately came to another secret room, which was a place specially used for him to conduct detection and counter-detection experiments.

After every independent arcane fire device experiment, he will conduct a counter-detection experiment. In addition to eliminating as much as possible the impact of the failure of the independent arcane fire device experiment on the outside world, it is also to conduct a counter-detection experiment on possible threats in a special state of concentration. Position in advance.

This is almost prophetic.

But only for events related to yourself!

As usual, Iolum didn't get any unexpected information this time, but when he left the secret room, he still instinctively felt something was wrong.

There seems to be some kind of threat approaching.

Iolum does not believe in intuition, he only believes in specific and accurate information, but if he has an abnormal feeling, he will not ignore it.

After a moment of silence, he returned to the secret room again, took out a [Destiny Track] from the dimensional bag, and placed it in the center of the magic circle where the anti-detection experiment was conducted.

After activating [Destiny Track], Iolum drew a six-pointed star track on his chest, then lowered his head and silently recited the holy name of the goddess of magic, seeking enlightenment from the goddess.

Almost instantly, a blue-white glow like water waves jumped out from the [Trajectory of Destiny]. The next moment it appeared on Iolum's shoulder, and the next moment it ran to the blue-white star pattern on the wall of the secret room.

There seemed to be a never-ending force driving this glow to keep jumping in the secret room, but it finally stopped in the path of the hexagram on Iolum's chest.

Touching the blue-white light that seemed to be warm, Iolum murmured a word——

"East?"

The goddess's revelation was very vague, and Iolum was not surprised. If the content of the prophecy was specific and accurate, what was the caster doing on his own?

The revelation of the "East" is enough. Is there any other possible threat in the East besides Cormanthor?

"The experiment must be accelerated!"

…

Southland, Tower of Time.

A special selection started quietly and ended quietly.

A total of twelve people were selected to become magic instructors sent outside the Tower of Time. Of course, this was the name of the task within the Tower of Time. In fact, they would become Atwood's assistants, in every sense of the word.

Among these twelve people, except for Edrich and Gibson, who had already become official mages before, the remaining ten were all new mages who had just witnessed the promotion ceremony in Shado not long ago.

They were chosen because they were young and at the same time they were official mages who grew up under the new system of the Tower of Time.

Of course, their background also plays a big role.

Every one of them was born as a commoner, half from the Saville Territory and half from the Daxia Territory.

Selecting them is both a training and a test. Whether they can pass it or not depends on them.

As for Edrich and Gibson, because Edrich's father was Derrick, it was easier to deal with Savileland bureaucrats and he knew the ropes there.

Gibson was released because he had been to Sevington and seen the outside world. Through comparisons, he could better understand the advanced nature of the Tower of Time Order and the Great Xia Order. The reason for letting him go was to use his mouth to promote these.

In addition, this is also a kind of training for him.

…

When Edrich and Gibson found Atwood with ten official mages, Atwood was immediately shocked by Shado's generosity.

He originally thought that Xia Duo would only send a few apprentices over, but he didn't expect that twelve formal mages would be sent over at once and asked to do what a few apprentices could do. This showed that Xia Duo was serious about this matter. Attention.

And when Atwood took over the [Amulet of Avoiding Detection] specially made for him by Shado from Edrich, a heavy sense of responsibility came to his heart.

He bowed in the direction of the Tower of Time and solemnly expressed his determination——

"Atwood will definitely complete the mission and never let down the lord's trust!"

…

At the same time, in the Tower of Time.

Through the projection window in Niya's study, Shado completely saw the scene where Atwood expressed his determination in Codex Square.

Of course, Niya who was with him also saw it.

"Don't you think it's a waste to release twelve official mages at once?" Niya asked in confusion.

Not to mention in the past, even the current Tower of Time is not so wealthy that it can just leave twelve official mages idle.

In this regard, Sha Duo only said, "Spell casters are also ordinary people." Niya immediately understood that she was still looking at the problem with the concepts of the past.
