Arcane Lord

A week later.

Southland, Tower of Time.

In a laboratory that has been temporarily expanded ten times, a transparent cube with a length, width and height of nearly a hundred meters, no edges, and emitting blue light stands quietly in the center of the suspended field.

Sha Duo and Niya stood next to the cube, as small as two ants, but in fact all the information in the cube was under Sha Duo's control.

But Niya was a little confused: "Is this the secret weapon you said? Why don't I see any practical use of it?"

"Don't worry, just watch."

Xia Duo didn't say anything clearly, but just smiled and asked Niya to continue reading.

Because there has been no news from Iolum, it is not convenient for Shado to reveal too much to Niya, but if he only knows about it, he does not need to take the initiative to mention it.

When he first came back a week ago, he told Nia that she could follow him and watch together, but of course not to say anything even if she found something.

But after watching it for nearly a week, Niya couldn't see anything bright. She deeply suspected that Xia Duo was fooling her. Just looking at this strange creation that was nearly a hundred meters high, she couldn't say the words "fooling". .

"Let's go to the blue crystal plane first! This thing can't be tested here."

"Well, okay, I want to see what the use of this thing is!" Niya said angrily, not knowing whether she was holding her anger with Xia Duo or herself.

Then, Xia Duo put away the "[Mythra] Device Special Magic Network Environment Adaptation Component" which he had worked from dawn to dusk for nearly a week.

Of course, the so-called special environment here refers to the blue crystal plane.

As long as this adapter component is combined with the [Mythra] device, if everything goes well, the azure plane arcana crystal factory will start construction!

…

Blue crystal plane, backside of Fish-Man Island.

After nearly a week, this place is no longer as desolate as it was when Xia Duo first came back. On the flat ground in the center, a stone square with a length and width of nearly a hundred meters has been built.

The stone foundation of the square was made by Xia Duo himself, but the alloy platform in the middle of the square, which is about an inch higher than the square, is the work of Niya and more than a dozen Tower of Time mages.

This is a permanent [positive energy-suspended] field generating base.

In the past week, in addition to Niya who had to keep an eye on Sha Duo who was not working continuously, more than ten people including five high-level mages including Aibo, Depak, Fisher, Anton, and Kirk The Tower of Time mages have almost never left the blue crystal plane, and they are all working overtime for this base.

Of course, there's no need for them to stay here after the base is completed.

Therefore, when Sha Duo and Niya arrived here, there was only a pedestal square waiting for them that was constantly radiating light positive energy.

"Let me check the condition of the base first!"

With that said, Xia Duo flew above the square and flew towards several specific locations. He had already seen the positive energy field and the effect was very good. Only the floating field needed to be carefully checked.

A little bit of incongruity, the [Mithra Device] may be a fatal flaw in its operation, so Shado attaches great importance to it.

He first flew above the field, and then flew slowly along the edge of the field. Here, he discovered a long string of small, independent metal beads left by the construction mage.

This is of course not due to negligence on the part of the construction mage, but what Xia Duo emphasized in his acceptance requirements. These metal beads are at the edge of the field and are considered the most unstable area of ​​the field.

If the field here can maintain stability, there is a high probability that there will be no problems in other areas.

Chateau started from one end and projected a very thin ray of bright light towards the other end, and then moved the ray to approach the first two beads at the starting position.

"Well, not bad!"

Xia Duo noticed that this long string of nearly 100 meters of discrete metal beads began to shift downward almost from the middle. If only the end he was at at the moment was used as the standard, nearly half of them were unqualified.

Generally speaking, it is a suspended field along this line. The effect is the most stable in the middle part and gradually weakens in the edge part.

Originally, before the construction mages left, these discrete metal beads were supposed to be placed on the same straight line. Now that there is a deviation, it means that the field itself has changed.

Maybe it's just that the energy flow somewhere on the base is blocked, causing field fluctuations. This may be a construction problem, or it may be a design problem with Chateau.

He forgot to obtain the field generating device from Iolum, mainly because subsequent experiments used special demiplanes to obtain the levitation effect.

In addition, the field fluctuations here may also be caused by the blue crystal plane itself. At the beginning, the positive energy field cannot instantly purify the negative energy within the field. Negative energy has a great impact.

As for which possibility it is, just simply test it.

Next, Xia Duo did not continue to check the situation of the suspended field, because if it was a construction problem or a design problem, the place would have to be demolished and started all over again.

Of course, if there is a problem with the base, it is most likely a construction problem.

After all, Xia Duo's design was strictly based on the precise state of the magic network that he measured using [Destiny Track]. Theoretically, there would be no problems until the magic network environment here undergoes major changes.

…

Seeing that Xia Duo didn't come down after checking for a long time, Niya couldn't wait any longer, so she flew up, just in time to see Xia Duo readjusting the discrete metal beads on the edge of the field.

So he quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Not sure yet, but hopefully it won't be the worst case scenario."

In Niya's opinion, what Sha Duo said was almost tantamount to implying that there was a problem with her work, which made her a little hard to accept:

"There will be no problem! Every step here is strictly carried out according to the construction manual you gave me. Even if I am not present, I will have Uncle Aibo keep an eye on it. How could there be a problem!"

Niya specifically pointed out that she strictly followed the construction manual given by Sha Duo, which was a bit of a scapegoat. After all, when it came to her own efforts, no one would let anyone deny it.

If Xia Duo had been more cautious, he might have started a quarrel on the spot. However, the situation was still uncertain. Xia Duo did not immediately respond or refute anything. He just said:

"Let's wait until after the inspection. It may be my problem. If there is a problem, just find out and solve it."

"Well, I'm here to help too."

"Okay, just reset the position of the detection beads."

The field space is not small, but Xia Duo and Niya are not ordinary people. With the help of magic, they quickly reset all the detection beads.

Next, it’s all about waiting.

…

While waiting, Niya began to recheck the construction of the base, while Shado began to review the design process to check for any omissions.

Neither of them wants the problem to be on their side, so they are secretly competing with each other!
