Arcane Lord

Next, Xia Duo hung the unstable imprisonment talisman back into the robe. As long as it was not affected by the spell in a short period of time, there should be no accidents.

The reason why it was not taken into the portable space was mainly because Xia Duo was worried that this guy would be swallowed up by the portable space. This was not without precedent.

He had taken his soul into his portable space several times before, either by accident or on his own initiative, but almost the moment he took it in, his soul exploded.

It literally explodes, but the product of the explosion is not an unknown thing, but a miniature plane. These small planes will not exist for a long time, but will be annihilated quickly, adding some space to the portable space.

If there is still a process for the integration of arcane energy, then the integration of soul is too fast, so fast that Sha Duo cannot stop it at all.

Although the portable space can be expanded after the soul is integrated, now that he has an independent arcane fire device, there is no shortage of arcane crystals that can also expand the space. On the contrary, the non-renewable resource of the soul is more precious.

After several experiences and lessons, Xia Duo would never do such a stupid thing like "burning money directly for heating" again.

…

After dealing with the twisted phantom, Sha Duo continued to search forward, but he did not encounter that strange creature again for quite some time.

Of course, he had never met Brod or any other human being.

During the search, Shado sent a message to Brod almost every step of the way, and also left a trigger message nearby. Of course, there was also a message for Iolum.

But until the end, he didn't receive any reply.

Continuing forward, the road ahead is completely different from the laboratory area. The difference is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that the etheric plane is being integrated into this area unstoppably.

"It shouldn't be! What happened to Iolum?"

Sha Duo was puzzled by this. In theory, the etheric plane could indeed overlap a nearly infinite space with a small space in the main plane.

But theory is theory, and it is very difficult to realize it in reality.

But now, this almost natural expansion of space must have a source. Xia Duo realized that if he continued searching aimlessly like now, he would probably never find the end.

It's like an ant crawling along an elongating ruler. As long as the crawling speed cannot exceed the elongating speed of the ruler, it will never reach the end.

A similar example is interstellar travel on Earth. As long as the receding speed relative to the Earth exceeds the speed of light, humans will never be able to reach it.

At the moment, Xia Duo is not sure how long this spatial expansion will last. Is it only for a period of time, or is it permanent?

If it is the latter, then the impact of this incident is almost endless, almost creating a "cave world" in Severnton.

"Iolum must be found as soon as possible!"

By now, he had realized that if he could not find Iolum, he might be trapped here.

If nothing else, the path he took should have changed.

This strengthened his idea to change his search strategy. The environment was changing too fast and he could no longer search aimlessly.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo simply stopped and carefully observed the surrounding magic nets. Although the space in this area expanded rapidly, the rioting magic nets did not subside because of this. Instead, they always maintained a certain intensity.

Neither increasing nor decreasing.

This further proves that an extremely tragic turmoil is occurring somewhere in this area, and if not the source, at least it is related to the source.

Switching to a macro perspective, Xia Duo carefully observed the macro magic network that was almost like a ball of boiling and turbulent water, trying to find anything suspicious in it.

"found it!"

A structure of rules with no clear boundary with the surrounding existence suddenly appeared in Sha Duo's field of vision. It stands to reason that the macroscopic magic network has become chaotic, and it is almost impossible to independently form a regular magic network structure in the chaos.

It's like a monkey playing the piano and playing a Chopin sonata. Not to say it's completely impossible, but in fact it's almost impossible to happen.

Although the rule structure disappeared in a flash, Xia Duo was able to trace his memory, and he was very sure that he saw it correctly.

Because the distance is too far, it is impossible to access the microscopic structure of the Magic Network's strings. It is difficult for Shado to analyze anything useful based on the macroscopic structure alone.

The only thing that is certain is that even if it is not Iolum, it must be related to Iolum.

After simply calculating the distance, Xia Duo almost collapsed. From here to there, it was at least more than ten miles (kilometres). This distance was already beyond Seventon.

But he knew clearly that even if he ran there, theoretically he would still be at the headquarters of the Alfa Federation, or to be more precise, in a part of the core laboratory of the headquarters!

"How to deal with this unfortunate matter, I'm afraid the Seven Towers will have a headache for a long time!"

No matter what, Xia Duo set off quickly. Because he had a relatively clear goal, his speed this time was several times faster than before.

If he didn't have to guard against possible sneak attacks, he could be faster.

While traveling, he often observed the state of the macroscopic magic network. Only halfway through the journey did he once again observe a regular structure that blended edges and chaos but could still be distinguished.

After a simple calculation, Xia Duo came to the conclusion that if the position observed now is the same as the one observed just now, then the speed of space expansion in this area is about four to five hundred meters per minute.

In other words, if he followed his initial search speed, he would never reach the end.

Of course, it is not possible to completely conclude that the spatial expansion speed here is like this based on just two observations, but it can at least serve as a reference.

…

Along the way, Xia Duo did not observe the regular structure of the macroscopic magic network, but there was no need for it, because he soon saw the strong magic fluctuations ahead from a conventional microscopic perspective.

Its intensity can be highlighted from the already riotous background of the magic network, and it can be called a "riot within a riot."

Sha Duo temporarily slowed down, and at the same time retracted the miniature magic net that the arcane fire had spread out and extended. This move almost immediately triggered many induced trigger spells that sensed the changes here.

Most of them focus on elemental impact, and are not obvious in the already violent magic network environment where various spells are randomly produced.

If the magic net calms down a little, the induced triggering spells here will become obvious, but now, although the probability of random spells here is indeed slightly greater than that in ordinary areas, it is not more likely than in the Peaceful Land constructed by Arcane Fire. domain is more noticeable.

The only troublesome thing is that without the automatic elimination of the micro-magic net, all random spells generated around him need to be resisted by Sha Duo himself.
