Arcane Lord

————Replacement members~~

Considering that he would be able to recruit assistants from the Iolum Territory in the future, Sha Duo had new thoughts on the next work arrangements in the Creation Laboratory.

This time the focus came to the new arcanist Depak. After thinking for a moment, Xia Duo decided to give him a chance——

"I heard that any high-level mage has the opportunity to go to the Mystic Temple to undergo the Star Jumping Ceremony after advancing to become an Arcanist. If he is lucky, he can also receive the baptism of the blue and white secret flame during the ceremony."

"I don't think I need to introduce the benefits of secret flame baptism too much! Aibo is a living example. When he goes to Iolum to receive it in a few days, Depak, please go with him!"

Hearing Xia Duo mention his name, and the foreshadowing of the mithril baptism, Depak immediately realized how rare this opportunity was.

Although the secret flame baptism only appeared in the star leaping ceremony with probability, didn't Aibok receive the secret flame baptism alone?

At this moment, he had a strong premonition that as long as he accepted the Star Jumping Ceremony this time, he would definitely be able to enjoy the baptism of secret flame. Thinking of this, Depak even started to breathe a little faster.

A baptism of secret flame may be nothing to a young arcanist, but for someone like him who became an arcanist at almost fifty years old, it is almost as good as a second life.

Although it was impossible to truly restore him to the peak of his youth, considering his current age, it could extend his life for at least forty or fifty years. Originally, he had thought of applying for the Tower of Time's life extension spell after becoming an arcanist.

Now it seems that the life extension spell can be saved and used next time when I am old.

With such a long lifespan, coupled with the Tower of Time's increasingly complete training mechanism, Depak is full of confidence in whether he can eventually become a Grand Arcanist!

"I--"

At this moment, Depak was also speechless, but his aphasia was different from Ai Burke's speechlessness just now. He was so excited that he couldn't speak at all!

"That's it, let's take a break from the lab for the past two days."

Having said that, Shado still stopped Savile, who wanted to return to his own Spire No. 2, "I'm going to prepare the inheritance ceremony rewards for the winners of the previous motorcycle design competition in the next two days. Where are you?" Don’t stop the cram school for quasi-high-level mage!”

"I know." Savile was not dissatisfied with this. He would rather stay at home and train his students than go asking the teacher for help.

…

Next, the Creation Mystery Lock Laboratory was temporarily suspended, but Xia Duo did not get any leisure from this. Instead, he became even busier due to the adjustment of subsequent plans.

First, he presided over a batch of inheritance ceremonies, and then went non-stop to the time acceleration area to prepare the basic materials for the [World Incubator], which were mainly specially designed David string components.

While doing this work, he did not forget to open Talling's discovery notification about the projection plane again. This notification was not only related to the automatic search results of the plane exploration array, but also related to the real-time information of Devine, the astral mage. Perceptual discovery.

Of course, the latter requires the cooperation of Devine, and Sha Duo also told the other party of his requirements. The only requirement is that the projection plane must exist long enough.

Currently, the Tower of Time's plane exploration array can only record afterward, but cannot predict in advance. If you want to predict the duration of a projection plane (main plane perception), you can only rely on the experience of the astral mage.

Devine has accumulated some experience in this, and Chateau has also given full trust.

In this way, when Xia Duo had almost prepared the basic materials required for the [World Incubator] in the time acceleration area and was considering selecting a location for the [World Incubator], Depak sent a reminder through Talling——

"A new projection plane has been discovered. It is expected to exist for more than one and a half minutes. Does it need to be locked in advance?"

"locking!"

After Xia Duo recovered, he set off immediately. In fact, the locking only transferred the results to a fixed program controlled by the tower spirit. It would not have any impact on the newly discovered projection plane itself.

The purpose is of course to facilitate Xia Duo's arrival as quickly as possible.

…

Tower of Time, Plane Exploration Floor, Projection Hall.

After Sha Duo teleported here, he immediately ordered the tower spirit to start the projection program, and then he came to the boundless silver void in a burst of light and shadow changes similar to a jump channel.

Of course, according to the projection program, Xia Duo appeared in the silver void for just a moment. The excitement that had just escaped from the "leap" process did not even have time to cause any ripples of the astral wind, and the scene changed again.

In just a moment of trance, Xia Duo realized that he had entered the projection plane and transformed into a certain creature.

But the next moment, an unparalleled sense of severe pain surged into his heart from all parts of his body, making him almost unable to think. Along with the pain, almost endless illusions drifted past his eyes.

"In front of you?"

Xia Duo subconsciously concentrated on his thoughts and realized that he might still have vision, but the severe pain that hit his soul like a flood made him unable to think at all.

This pain does not only affect the body!

Sha Duo had encountered unexpected situations as soon as he entered the projection plane. In [Projection Plane·Dark Area], the Drow he incarnated was in a sunlight prison as soon as he "went online".

After countless years of evolution underground, drow have no longer adapted to sunlight. Normal surface organisms will not feel any special discomfort when exposed to sunlight, but if drow is exposed to sunlight, it is almost equivalent to being soaked in sulfuric acid.

Although it will not lead to death in a short period of time, the pain is extremely severe. Even if it withstands sunlight training, the pain itself will not disappear, it will just become accustomed to it and become numb.

Any drow who goes to the surface must apply "sunscreen" all over their body and wear goggles, otherwise it will be like being in purgatory.

In addition to the unlucky start as a drow, there was also another incarnation as a human that did not go well. He was in the execution ground just after he "went online". However, no matter how unfavorable those two times were, Xia Duo was able to endure it and find a way out.

But now, the severe pain that touched his soul left him no time to think. Occasionally, a residual thought emerged from the depths of his subconscious, but it would soon be submerged in a large number of distracting thoughts caused by pain and illusions.

This can be said to be the most dangerous encounter Xia Duo has encountered since his debut. Now he can't even think about whether these pains or illusions are illusory.

As for leaving, the projection plane is quite harmless in his subconscious, not to mention this very rare projection plane that is expected to last for a long time. He does not want to miss it.

So much so that in the endless pain and illusions, he even forgot about the most important option of returning to the main plane.
