Arcane Lord

As time passed little by little, Xia Duo and others did not make even a single mistake in their spellcasting. As the ceremony progressed, the magic net in the nameless waters of the blue crystal plane gradually underwent some changes visible to the naked eye.

The order was executed until 45:22, and Xia Duo's already highly focused will was concentrated again. The last ten minutes were the key to the entire ceremony.

According to his plan, the first phase of the construction of the new city does not involve any specific physical objects, and only works on the mystery lock. As long as the mystery lock is completed, subsequent improvements will be very convenient.

Therefore, this time, unlike the construction of Chang'an City, we did not build the main body of the floating city first. Instead, we built the main body of the new city first. The main body of the new city after that is not the key. We can continue to use the spherical shape, and there will be no problem if we change it to other forms.

Soon after the order was executed at 46:55, all the collaborators at the third-level source point had all exited the casting sequence, including Etta, who had made a mistake before.

After the task was completed, he stepped aside to observe. At this time, the water in the area on the material level was still calm, but the magic network was like boiling water, constantly surging, and because Etta had not come into contact with the deeper layers of the magic network, in the The fluctuations in his eyes were more like irregular changes, but the movement was not small at all, covering almost everything he could perceive.

As the collaborators gradually exited the spell-casting sequence, only Shado, Niya, Savile and Aibo were left on the field in a spell-casting state.

If there are fewer people, the possibility of mistakes will be even lower. Everyone can see that this time it will probably be successful, but no one said anything to each other for fear of causing interference to the final stage of the ceremony.

And Xia Duo and others - more accurately, Xia Duo himself - have indeed reached a critical moment. Although there are only three collaborators left to cooperate with him, their concentration has not decreased at all, but is even higher.

The Mystery Lock essentially reconstructs the macroscopic structure of the magic network so that it can exist stably. This is actually very similar to the magic constancy, except that the latter's field is at the micro level, but the idea of ​​​​making the spell stable is indeed similar.

It needs to be an internal self-contained system so that it will not be "washed away" by the surging magic network tide from the outside world. At a micro level, it is the cycle of spell elements + the cycle of energy.

For Mystic Lock, it is similar, but the microscopic spell elements are innumerable. What it requires is that the macroscopic structure of the magic network is some kind of closed loop, and the same is true for energy.

The reason why the elves call magic "art" and the mystery lock "the pinnacle of skills" is because of this. At the beginning of the creation of the mystery lock, you may be able to set up all the functions you want according to your preferences, but if you want to In order for the Mystery Lock to exist for a long time, it is necessary for the macro structure of the Magic Network to form a closed loop without losing the connection with the larger Magic Network structure.

In terms of energy, it is more necessary to obtain as much energy as possible within a limited coverage area to meet the various functions set previously.

Generally speaking, energy is not a problem. The Magic Network has never treated any caster harshly in terms of energy acquisition. As long as they are not stupid, any high-level mage can complete the energy cycle structure of the Magic Network.

In fact, if you were really stupid, you wouldn't be able to become a high mage.

The real difficulty lies in the closed loop of the magic network's macro structure. The more functions you add in the front, the harder it will be to close the loop later. It's like making a bun. The more stuffing you put in, the harder it will be to close the mouth. If you don't pay attention, the stuffing will be exposed. .

**** can still be used in the pot, but it doesn’t look good, but once the secret lock is "revealed", it is not a problem of not looking good, but a whole riot.

In particular, the closed-loop stage is the end of the construction of the Mystery Lock. The macrostructure of the magic network has long been distorted to the extreme by the caster. If it suddenly loses control in this situation, you can imagine what kind of scene the sky will collapse and the earth will collapse.

In this case, it is useless to use spells to calm down the field, because it is a collective riot involving the magic network in this area from macro to micro, and it is impossible to suppress it with just a microscopic spell.

Even if Shado integrates it into the adaptive mystery lock, it won't work, because the new city mystery lock he is building now is countless times more complicated than the adaptive mystery lock. Once it breaks out, its power will far exceed the limit of the basic adaptive mystery lock.

Therefore, the closer to the end, the more cautious Xia Duo became.

In the last five minutes, Niya, Saville, and Aibok had already exited the spell-casting sequence. They not only stepped aside, but also led others out of the coverage of the New City Mystery Lock.

"It must succeed!" Niya looked at Xia Duo, who had turned into a small dot in the distance, and murmured a prayer in her heart.

In the center of everyone's attention, although Sha Duo also looked forward to the actual implementation of the mystery lock he designed when he was in the Red Heart Alliance, there was no fluctuation in the movement of casting the spell.

The closer you are to the edge of success, the more you need to stay calm.

When an elven high mage encounters this situation, if he does not want to bear the consequences of failure (mystery construction areas are often family areas or cities, and it is difficult to control them with his own strength in the event of failure), he will choose to completely sublimate. The saint form integrates itself into the mystery.

Taking advantage of this state, let the magic network obey his will and automatically promote the mystery lock to complete the closed loop!

When Sha Duo first left the Red Heart Alliance plane, he used this method to complete the Mystery Lock of the Red Heart Tribe, and also reserved the more complex functions he envisioned. (This method has its limits. If the closed loop is not completed before the soul disappears, it will be a failure, and the consequences will be more serious)

It is conceivable that in many cases, the birth of a mythical lock means the complete demise of a high mage and his inability to go to the Kingdom of God.

Sha Duo did not go into details about how the mythical locks of the main plane elven countries were born. This is something that every country needs to keep confidential, but the Northland Alliance mythical locks were born under his nose.

On the day when the Northland Alliance was established, Elder Evereska and High Mage Ku Yinde sacrificed themselves to complete the construction of the Northland Alliance's Mystery Lock.

This is Everriska's sacrifice for the Northland Alliance, and it is the most important political legacy left by Elder Kuyinder to Everriska.

As for Xia Duo now——

He will not "sacrifice" the mythos in the material plane.

And this time he did not use the incarnation of the saint form to cast spells. The saint form is certainly conducive to spell casting, but its essence is for the caster to fit into the magic network, resonate with the magic network, and then let the magic network respond. This is directly distorted by the caster. There are big differences in the magic network.

The rest of the spellcasting team are all casters of the Nese magic system, and they are the existences that directly distort the magic network. If Shaduo is incarnated in the form of a saint, incompatibility will easily occur during spellcasting coordination.

As for how to close the loop in the final stage of the mystery lock construction, this is actually not a problem. Before the actual construction, he had inspected the magic network environment here, and this mystery lock was completely designed by him from scratch!

Any other high elf mage might have failed to close the loop, but Sha Duo would not!

This is not only the creator's confidence, but also determined by the precise control of the Nese magic system that directly distorts the magic network.

As long as the proficiency is in place, you can't go wrong!
