Arcane Lord

From the fact that Iolum asked him to find any reason to kill people from the Druid organization before, it can be seen that this teacher is not a soft-hearted person.

Not to mention, in the early years, Iolum fought for nearly a hundred years and wiped out all the large orc tribes in the Nese territory, which can be said to be a decisive killing.

It was just because I respected myself as a cheap student that I didn't propose a simpler solution. Instead, I was willing to consume the combined resources of Austria and France to help cover up.

Xia Duo feels that when resources can be used to solve problems, there is no need to touch people. After all, compared to resources that can be obtained repeatedly, people are unique.

…

After sitting quietly in front of the window with Niya for a while, Shaduo chatted with her about what he had seen in the Elf Kingdom not long ago. Niya was greatly amazed by the description of the Mystery Lock and the introduction of the four southern countries.

"Netheril is too small. I really want to see the outside world!"

"There will be a chance!" Xia Duo was talking about the floating city. He also wanted to take a quick trip by then. "By the way, how is your recent progress in researching the communication mystery lock?"

"Not ideal."

Niya sighed slightly, rested her head on Sha Duo's shoulder, and explained softly:

"It is mainly stuck in the nodeless structure. The coverage of a mystery lock without material nodes can be extended to a great extent. However, such a mystery lock is naturally repelled by the magic network in terms of existence. If it wants to be stable for a long time, It’s very difficult to run!”

It is difficult for Sha Duo to solve this problem that Niya mentioned. After all, even in the elf world, the mystery lock without material nodes is an absolutely high-end technology.

After thinking about it, he asked Niya: "Do you still remember your original intention of studying communication mystery locks?"

Niya replied: "Remember, look for the next upgrade direction for the Tower of Time communication weapon."

"Then let's do it step by step. If you upgrade directly to the communication mystery lock, then who will buy the communication magic weapon! This time I went to Everesca, and I found some interesting things in the design of the mystery lock there."

With that said, Shado told Niya what he discovered about the distributed design of the Myst Lock node in Everesca, and said:

"In fact, if communication instruments can be used as mystery lock nodes, it may be more in line with the interests of the Tower of Time!"

"Communication weapon?"

Niya took her head off Sha Duo's shoulder, sat upright, then took out a communication magic weapon from the dimensional bag she carried, shook it in front of Sha Duo, and then said:

"I have thought about this possibility before, but you see, the position of each communication instrument and other communication instruments are relatively moving and not fixed. How can it be used as a mystery lock node!"

Generally speaking, the location of the mystery node is relatively fixed, unless there is only one node, you can run around with it.

But generally speaking, when there is only one node, the node must be a very complex and huge energy interaction system, which is not easy to carry.

Xia Duo also understands these situations, but here is the beauty of distributed node design——

"It does not require every node to be valid, nor does it require every node to be stationary. As long as a certain number of nodes remain relatively stationary at the same time, it is enough to maintain the existence of the mystery lock.

"And after the existence of the Mystery Lock, with the support of other more nodes, the number of nodes that originally need to be relatively stationary at the same time will be greatly reduced."

In other words, as long as a communication mystery lock with the communication magic weapon as a node can be established, there is no need to worry too much about its subsequent existence, and it only needs regular maintenance.

According to Xia Duo's speculation, this dynamic distributed node design requires more frequent maintenance than ordinary locks.

…

After listening to Xia Duo's explanation, Niya was stunned for a moment, and then asked excitedly: "You know that kind of distributed node design, right?"

"Yes."

Sha Duo nodded, "I do already know the key to the distributed node design of Everesca's Mystery Lock. Although what I just said is largely my speculation, I am sure that it can be realized in theory.

"It's just that we have to solve two problems, which are the dynamic nodes themselves and the problem of automatic linking between them and the mystery locks."

The problem of the dynamic node itself is very easy to understand. In fact, it is a communication instrument used as a mystery node. It is definitely not as simple as a handheld transmitter like before.

In essence, it is an energy interaction system that is separated and has certain unified characteristics.

As for the automatic link between them and the Mystery Lock, it is related to whether the Mystery Lock can exist stably.

If the myth lock cannot be automatically linked to act as a node, once the number of nodes drops below a certain level, the number of nodes that need to remain relatively static will surge, and if the conditions are not met, the mystery lock will collapse.

Of course, there is also a hidden meaning in it, that is, if the mystery lock cannot be automatically linked, then why would the buyer buy this?

Since it is called a communication weapon, in addition to the attribute of being a Mystery Lock node, it must also have the attributes of a Mystery Lock key.

If it is only used as a Mystery Node, Mystery can be directly linked. There is no need for users to purchase these so-called communication tools, and the Tower of Time will not be able to recover its money.

On this point, Sha Duo and Niya have a tacit understanding, which can be seen from the fact that the two of them have not changed the name "communication instrument".

Otherwise, Xia Duo could have named that dynamic communication lock node a "mobile base station."

The more base stations there are, the more stable the lock will be, but it is obviously impossible for all those base stations to be invested by the Tower of Time. The higher the investment in fixed assets, the lower the ability to resist risks.

Since it has been called "distributed", it is better to "distribute" the investment. All users pay for it together and resist the risks together. To a certain extent, the risk is zero!

…

After listening to Xia Duo's further explanation, Niya immediately became confident, "If you say it can be achieved, then it will definitely be achieved."

"As long as you have confidence, you can ask me any questions at any time. In addition, I would like to remind you that the secret lock designed by distributed nodes can theoretically be controlled by everyone who owns the node. Therefore, in terms of encryption and permission design, We must be careful and don’t let others take control of us as soon as we create the mystery lock!”

"Don't worry, I will pay attention!" Niya nodded heavily.

Seeing that Niya was already aware of this possibility, Xia Duo didn't say much. In addition to making Niya more stable in encryption and permission design, he also had a back-up plan.

As he said, in theory, everyone who owns the Myth Lock node can control the Myth Lock. If it is released, it will serve as a communication tool for the Myth Lock node. From a probability perspective, the further back in time, the more likely it is that the Myth Lock will be controlled by others. The bigger it gets.

But the premise of this possibility is that the Tower of Time's magic item manufacturing technology always stays at the current level.
