Arcane Lord

The bit of blue fluorescence in the eyes of the experimental rabbit spread rapidly at an incredible speed, dyeing the entire body a dark blue. At the same time, as the proportion of arcane energy assimilated rapidly increased, its dissipation speed also increased geometrically.

So Xia Duo saw this scene——

Starting from the rabbit's eye, an entire blue and crystal-clear experimental rabbit "evaporated" at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Although he was very surprised, Shado still cast a spell in time to collect part of the scattered arcana, which was almost the same as four standard arcana crystals.

In other words, his experiment was a lonely one, except for one rabbit.

Of course, this was just a joke. In fact, this experiment gave Sha Duo a considerable impact. He was very sure that the experimental rabbit was not annihilated or teleported away, but was assimilated by arcane energy.

Perhaps the extreme degree of contamination is assimilation, but this reveals the fact that perhaps all matter can be assimilated into arcane energy.

This is indeed the case in theory. Spells can create things, but the essence of magic is the change of elements and energy. There is no reason why matter cannot be reversed into elements and energy.

Just like the "mass-energy equation" on the earth, it can be converted back and forth, but the earth's universe is a purely material universe, and there is no static pure energy like in the magical world.

The so-called mass-energy equation is actually the transformation between substances, but the movement of substances can be recorded as energy. For example, the movement of photons is light energy, which is regarded as an artificially defined physical quantity.

There is no such thing as "energy".

Sha Duo has known for a long time that the essence of the magical world is most likely a state of pure energy. Matter is more like a special state of energy, rather than the earth and universe, where energy is a state of motion of matter.

The difference is very subtle. The world has the same material, and even has similar rules of material change, but in essence, the two are completely different.

How lucky is Xia Duo to be able to see two worlds that are completely different in nature!

"What should we do now?"

From the perspective of arcana infection and transformation experiments, his experiment was undoubtedly a failure, but from the perspective of exploring the nature of the universe, this was another great success.

He never imagined that the energetic nature of matter would be demonstrated in this context.

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo picked up another rabbit and threw it into the already empty force field chamber. Perhaps the "resentment" of the previous experimental rabbit still remained in the force field chamber. This rabbit became restless as soon as it was put in. Incredible.

Although he hasn't run away yet, he has started to back up and rub against the experimental table. At this moment, just like that, maybe the next moment, this little guy will jump like crazy.

After placing the previously recovered arcane crystals around the force field chamber, Shado began his next spellcasting.

It's just that this time he didn't use all four arcane crystals. The transformation just now was very complete, complete enough to completely transform the experimental rabbit into the arcana state. However, such an arcana rabbit cannot exist stably.

This time, Xia Duo directly reduced the infested arcane energy by half. If arcane rabbits were still transformed, he would reduce it by half again next time.

Anyway, he was almost certain that even if the experiment failed, almost all the arcane crystals consumed in the experiment could be recovered. No, there should be a surplus.

He actually only recovered part of it before, and some of the arcane energy was still dissipated and he didn't have time to recover it.

Basically, it can be understood that he only recovered the four arcane crystals used to cast the spell, and the arcane energy converted by the rabbit itself did not have time to recover.

Now, if two arcane crystals can be transformed into an arcane rabbit, as long as the spell is cast in advance, most of the lost arcane energy can be recovered.

“I didn’t expect to find a way to make money!”

If the Nese mages in the main plane knew that arcane energy could be obtained in this way, they would probably go crazy with joy. However, this method of obtaining arcane energy is really an extremely backward thing now that the [Mythra] device has been born. , inefficient production methods.

…

Soon, as the spell was completed, Xia Duo silently counted for a minute, and then began to cast a spell to recover arcane energy. And Experiment Rabbit No. 2 did not live up to his expectations. It still quickly assimilated into arcane energy starting from the eyes, and then began to rapidly "evaporation".

Only this time, Sha Duo prepared a spell to recover arcane energy in advance. So how much arcane energy can he recover this time?

"Two arcane crystals?!"

Xia Duo couldn't help but widen his eyes. The experimental rabbit was gone, and his recovery spell was also timely, but why were there only two?

What about the arcana transformed by the rabbit?

Xia Duo thought about it, but couldn't figure it out. It was obvious that the rabbit had transformed into the arcane energy state and began to dissipate. Why was the rabbit's arcana energy not recovered?

Is it because the arcane energy transformed by biology cannot be recycled? Or some other reason?

After thinking for a moment, Sha Duo once again brought a rabbit and put it into the force field chamber, and then completed the transformation ceremony without saying a word. This time he still used two arcane crystals.

But this time, when the silent count reached one minute, he did not cast a spell to recover the arcane energy. Instead, he silently unfolded the arcane fire and covered the surrounding magic network environment with the miniature magic network he controlled.

Apart from that, he did nothing, just watched quietly as the Occult Rabbit began to disperse from his eyes until it completely disappeared.

But in his perception of the magic network, he clearly "saw" the entire process of arcane energy dissipating, entering the magic network, and then continuously circulating in the magic network, being "decomposed" into the four types of wind, fire, earth, and water. Elements produce positive and negative energy changes at the same time.

Although there is no actual measurement, Xia Duo has sufficient experience in producing arcane energy from arcane fire. Based on the process of arcane energy decomposition, he can roughly deduce how much arcana energy was dissipated before.

So how many are there?

There are still only two standard arcane crystals, but Xia Duo unfolded the micro-mystery lock during the process of arcane energy dissipation, and clearly recorded the dissipation process——

In fact, the real dispersion speed of Arcana Rabbit is much slower than he imagined!

In other words, he can still recover so much arcane energy if he recycles it later, but this also brings about the fact that the rabbit itself is not worth "money"!

This made Xia Duo unacceptable. Obviously, if you want to cast spells to create so much matter, you must consume energy. But now, this experiment told him that the arcana energy transformed by the rabbit is almost zero after deducting the spells and using it? !

Maybe it's not zero, but compared to arcane crystals, it's no different than zero.

"How did that happen?"

I can't figure this out. Xia Duo probably won't be able to sleep at night when he returns to the main plane. There are many contradictions in this. The most obvious one is that the back and forth transformation of [energy-matter] is not conserved.

Based on the experience of conservation of mass and energy on the earth, Sha Duo speculated that there must be some details that he had overlooked. If mass and energy were not conserved, then this magical world would have been destroyed long ago.

Sha Duo realized that he might have come into contact with the essence of this world. While this made him confused, it also made him feel very excited, excited about exploring a new area.
