Arcane Lord

————I went hiking today and was almost exhausted. I wanted to lie down for a while when I came back, but unexpectedly I fell asleep, but my subconscious still remembered to code. It was already 10 o’clock when I got up~~

————Let’s write this chapter tomorrow. I won’t go out tomorrow. I’ll just stay at home and type.

The spell-casting ceremony prepared by Sha Duo this time split the original spell source point for a single person into a core source point, three secondary source points, and three third-level source points.

The first phase of the new city construction casting team was divided into multiple nested casting units based on the source point.

Generally speaking, the ideal configuration of a spell-casting unit is a leader and three collaborators, but the collaborators can also be served by lower-level spell-casting units.

In the same way, a higher-level spell-casting unit can also serve as a collaborator in a higher-level spell-casting unit.

Due to the scarcity of high-level mages in the Tower of Time, the core spellcasting unit that Shado serves as the leader can still be served by a second-level spellcasting unit, that is, a multi-person team can complete it collaboratively.

However, all third-level spell-casting units cannot be used as collaborators for the second-level spell-casting units. Only a single caster can be used as a collaborator.

With Xia Duo's current configuration of three second-level source points and second-level spell-casting units, it can at least continue to be split into nine third-level source points, corresponding to nine third-level spell-casting units.

But in this case, at least 39 high-level mages (or above) are needed.

However, Xia Duo picked and chose only 21 people who basically met the spellcasting conditions. Even if he added the 14 new people, he still couldn't make up the full configuration of the third-level spellcasting unit.

This is still a configuration of one leader and three collaborators. If there are more collaborators in the configuration, Xia Duo may not even be able to get together the second-level spell-casting unit.

This is the biggest dilemma of the Tower of Time at the moment - the shortage of high-level mages. In addition to cooperating with Sha Duo for collaborative spellcasting, a large number of high-level mages are needed for the development of a large number of new projects, mass production of magic items, territory protection, etc.

Even if the quota for the inheritance ceremony continues to be released, it will be difficult to gather the number of people that Sha Duo wants (more than a hundred people) in a short period of time. After all, the inheritance ceremony is not a panacea. Participants need at least a certain magic foundation to ensure that there will be more in the future. The potential continues to improve, otherwise it will just be pure pulling of seedlings and encouraging the summer to gain too much.

…

Blue crystal plane.

In an unknown water area with no direction up and down, as if it were a void, Sha Duo and the other twenty-one members of the spellcasting team stood according to the positions rehearsed when they were in the main plane.

Subsequently, Xia Duo sent out a series of time-marked spell-casting instructions through the public network new city construction channel through the brain that was also connected to the Lingsi network -

00: 01, No. 21, 1-ΞΩΔΠΞΔ;

00:01, No. 20, 1-ΧΞΔΠΧΛ;

…

00:01, No. 15, 2-ΨΛΧΞΔΠ;

…

00: 01, No. 01, 4-ΠΓΘΛΔΛ;

Everyone cast spells at the same time under the time instructions of the magic moment in advance. The guides and collaborators performed their respective duties. Of course, Xia Duo, who was the core, was indispensable.

Once the instruction transmission of Zhi Nao starts, unless someone makes a mistake or the spell is finished, it will not stop at all, from the moment of 00:01 when the spell is cast, until the final execution of 55:17.

In other words, most people need to maintain a highly focused spellcasting state for up to 55 minutes. Although they are not casting spells all the time, they need to concentrate every moment.

It would be very difficult for Xia Duo to maintain such a state, let alone some high-level parallel wizards who were suddenly promoted through inheritance rituals.

From this we can also see how outrageous it is to express a 9-level spell with 1-level elements and hand it over to a level 1 mage to complete without eating or drinking for three years. It is feasible in theory but impossible in practice.

…

As the instructions were quickly completed, Sha Duo felt a sense of joy in his heart, but at the next moment, he gave up casting spells without hesitation, and then controlled the mystery to lower the spell to calm the field, placing the seven spell source points. The positions were all smoothed out, and then he turned his attention to Niya’s position:

"Niya, what are you thinking about? Why did you make a mistake?"

"I -" Nia lowered her head and did not explain, "I'm sorry, I won't do it next time."

"Concentrate and don't get distracted."

Xia Duo reminded, and then issued instructions through the brain again. The dense instructions shuttled through the Lingsi network at high speed and were accurately transmitted to everyone in the spell-casting team.

However, when the command was executed at 03:22, a level 3 spell source point suddenly experienced abnormal vibrations. Sha Duo sighed silently in his heart and controlled the mystery lock again to eliminate the upcoming spell riot.

"Etta, what's the problem?"

"President, I'm sorry, I was a little slow just now."

"..."

Xia Duo took a deep breath and told himself that this was just an attempt, just next time, just next time. In fact, this was indeed an attempt. The rehearsal in the main plane only rehearsed the general process, rather than starting directly. .

He had already thought about the situation where too many people would lead to unfavorable coordination, but he did not expect that neither of his two attempts lasted more than five minutes, and it actually took nearly an hour to complete the spell-casting ceremony.

"Is it because you have too little training, or do you overestimate people like the Tower of Time?"

Even with the assistance of Lingsi Network's mind synchronization, it is so difficult to complete coordinated spell casting. If not, wouldn't it be even more impossible?

Thinking of this, Xia Duo once again envied the convenience of coordinated casting of elven magic. Unfortunately, elven magic was not suitable for humans, and the Nese magic system also had coordinated casting. There were still very few people with more than 20 people.

Even if there is, it is more with the help of resonant magic weapons rather than directly cooperating with the physical body to cast spells.

Lingsi Network and Resonance Magic Weapon each have their own advantages. The former has wider application prospects and is more versatile, while the latter requires the preparation of resonance magic weapons in advance. With the casting level of the first phase of Xiado’s current new city construction, if resonance magic weapons are used , then it would be more convenient to cast spells alone.

Moreover, once the resonance magic weapon is made, it cannot be changed. It can only perform a fixed casting process. Sha Duo chose to use the Lingsi Network in order to reduce his burden and cultivate the power in the Tower of Time.

This is only the first phase of the new city construction, and there will be phases two and three after that. In addition, other projects may also require the use of coordinated casting, so it is always right to cultivate them first.

"Come again!"

Another mistake came again. This time the command was only executed for 17 seconds before someone made a mistake. It was the same ETA just now, this time half a beat ahead of schedule.

"Etta, don't be nervous. I let you join this spell-casting ceremony because I believe you can do it. If you can't do it once, just two or three times. If you can't finish it today, there will be tomorrow."

Xia Duo gave everyone a psychological construction, and at the same time he also calmed down his mind. He wanted to strive for success, but he never thought that he could really succeed.

As long as he calms down, there is nothing unacceptable. Now he is just worried that Savile may not want to play with him.

…

"get ready!"

Xia Duo issued an order for the eleventh time. This time it went unexpectedly smoothly. The time-marked order was executed until 30 minutes. But unfortunately, good things come hard, and this time it failed again.
