Arcane Lord

However, the time required to test the existence of the communication magic weapon spirit was uncertain, so Xia Duo did not ask Niya to help, but called someone from the Institute to help.

The method is also very simple. Similar to the previous test of contact distance, Xia Duo continuously commands the communication device to send numbers to the tester, starting from 1 and sending one number at a time until the other party cannot receive any information.

It is conceivable that if this virtual spirit exists for a little longer, Niya may spend several days on it, and Sha Duo does not want to waste her time at this time.

However, the real situation was somewhat different from Xia Duo's expectation. He originally thought that the duration of the virtual spirit's existence would be calculated in "days" at least.

Unexpectedly, less than an hour later, Kent, a member of the Association who came to cooperate with the test, raised his right hand with some disappointment and said to Sha Duo: "President, the message has stopped."

"So fast?"

"Yes!" Kent replied with a forced smile.

If it were later, the points he could get for entering the academy would be considerable, but now he would be lucky if he could get 10 points.

"President, do you want to test again?"

"No, you can go back."

Xia Duo was currently thinking about the nature of the tower spirit, and did not notice Kent's almost resentful expression. He casually asked the tower spirit to give the opponent 10 points and drive him away.

…

In the laboratory.

Xia Duo looked at the crystal-clear core of the twisted phantom in his hand. Nearly a hundred sections made this transparent bead the size of an eyeball still reflect dazzling brilliance even in a soft light environment like a laboratory.

"A mage tower only requires three. I have to use one for one experiment. This is too wasteful!"

Xia Duo looked left and right, feeling quite reluctant to give up, but the core of the twisted phantom could not be decomposed and could only be used in its entirety. He didn't know if his predecessors had encountered this situation, but he was really in a dilemma.

"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, so let's do it!"

No matter what, Xia Duo must know the nature of the tower spirit. It’s just a twisted phantom core. It’s just used. What’s more, it’s not in vain. Once he understands the nature of the tower spirit, he can decipher the enlightenment scroll. Also of great use.

Similar to knowing the general direction first, and then attacking the details in a targeted manner, if the understanding of the tower spirit is only superficial, then you can only use the most time-consuming and laborious brute force cracking.

The efficiency of the former may not be matched by the latter.

…

Now that he had decided, Xia Duo quickly took action.

He took out an enlightenment scroll again and unfolded it, but this time he did not directly activate it like before. Instead, he held a twisted phantom core and used it as the source of the spell to activate it.

As the spell took effect, Xia Duo once again felt his consciousness turn into a pool of water and overflow from his mind. At the same time, a white aura also spread from his body.

But this time, after the spiritual light spread out, it was immediately absorbed by the twisted phantom core in his palm. Then Xia Duo felt that his palm was empty, and the twisted phantom core that originally had substance suddenly turned into intangible.

Integrating with the spiritual light, he quickly wrapped around the second-generation communication weapon in front of him according to his will, and penetrated it as before.

But this time, unlike last time when he felt nothing, Xia Duo felt that his consciousness extended into the communication instrument, and the communication instrument seemed to have become a tissue and an organ in his body.

This feeling is difficult to describe using words alone. He now truly understands what Niya's perception of the tower spirit is like.

Of course, this is only at the level of perception. In reality, what he can do with the communication weapon has not actually increased at all compared to just now.

In other words, apart from controlling the communication instrument to display its own functions, Shado cannot control its flight, movement, or anything else.

This is also easy to understand. Creating a "spirit" can be compared to refining a certain item, facility, building, etc. in a novel about cultivating immortals. If the thing itself does not have some ability, then even if it is refined, it will not be possible. Born out of thin air.

"This is really - realistic enough!"

Xia Duo secretly sighed, and then his face lit up. It was indeed realistic. Three twisted phantom cores were enough to create a mage tower spirit. How could one twisted phantom core be completely consumed in creating a "communication magic weapon spirit"? Woolen cloth!

After the spell ended, the twisted phantom core that merged into the unknown spiritual light actually separated out again. It still appeared in the form of a multi-faceted crystal bead, but its volume shrank by nearly half compared to before.

There is a saying in my hometown called "Get Long and look forward to Shu".

Xia Duo was mentally prepared to consume all of this twisted phantom core, but he didn't expect to leave half of it for him. This made him greedy and use the amount of spiritual essence consumed by the mage tower and communication magic weapon. Compared.

I think I should leave a little more!

However, Xia Duo quickly corrected his mentality. It would be nice to have something left over. How could he expect more? Of course, when the Enlightenment Scroll is completely cracked, he might be able to find a way to optimize spells and reduce consumption, but that will come later. Talked.

…

Next, Xia Duo briefly tested the second-generation communication weapon with a permanent "weapon spirit". After confirming that its functions and controls were completely indistinguishable from the previous ones, he focused his research on the "weapon spirit" itself.

In Xia Duo's opinion, this kind of "weapon spirit" can respond to the master's orders, so it must be intelligent. If it were a Nese person, it might not be too probing, but Xia Duo knows very well -

Such intelligence must have an underlying database, otherwise where would the relevant knowledge come from?

For example, if you ask Taling where a certain book is, if he wants to answer or take action, he must first be able to understand the book, then the location, and then he must be able to distinguish the target book from other books and accurately locate it.

It simply doesn't work without a huge underlying database.

The same goes for Sha Duo's current "spiritual" communication device. When he tested it, he ordered the other party to send a message to Niya, but he did not tell the communication device who Niya was, or he did not set up in advance how the "devil spirit" would determine the target. .

So how did this "weapon spirit" know who Niya was?

Xia Duo speculated that this "weapon spirit" either inherited some of the caster's cognitive and behavioral patterns, or invoked the master's cognitive and behavioral patterns in real time.

Apart from these two possibilities, he really couldn't think of any other possibilities!

Is it just based on the [Intellectual Enlightenment Technique], which has a pitifully small amount of information compared to the underlying database?

Xia Duo is almost 100% sure that [Intelligence Enlightenment Technique] has no direct relationship with the information contained in the underlying database of "Qi Ling".
