Arcane Lord

During the second phase of the construction of the new city, Niya did not participate because she was busy with the final optimization of the communication mystery lock. Savile originally did not want to participate, but Sha Duo told him that there would be a surprise this time and forcefully pulled him over.

The spell-casting process was similar to three days ago. With the support of the Lingsi Network, Sha Duo's brain distributed the spell-casting instructions, and others followed the orders.

Unlike three days ago, the first phase of construction only built the Mystery Lock. The second phase built the main body of the floating city on the material level. Although the spell itself was simpler than three days ago, the strange phenomena that appeared during the casting process were no less than before. .

Especially the vision on the material level is beyond everyone’s imagination——

The center of the area covered by the Mystery Lock was originally the normal blue crystal plane waters, but as the ritual spells progressed, an extremely dazzling light spot appeared in the center.

It is not limited to magic vision, but can also be seen by ordinary people's normal vision. It is real enough to burn anyone who looks directly at it without protection.

Although Xia Duo had reminded everyone to protect their eyes before casting the spell, and also checked everyone's protection status one by one, this extremely dazzling light did not only cause physical damage.

Its very existence is enough to cause a strong psychological impact on a person who has insufficient expectations.

The first time the spell was cast, it failed as expected. Even Xia Duo only knew that a relatively strong vision might appear, but did not expect it to be so violent.

After suppressing the out-of-control abnormal fluctuations of the spell, there seemed to be something extra in the center of the area originally covered by the mystery lock, glowing with a blue metallic luster.

Savile, who had been "seduced" by Sha Duo with a surprise, saw this scene and immediately realized something. A strong mental shock was heard in the Lingsi network:

"That's fine gold?! We were just creating fine gold?"

"No, to be more precise, it is to convert the pure water here into fine gold." Xia Duo explained in a calm tone.

"You know what I mean! Is there a difference between transformation and creation? That's fine gold! Oh my god, how can there be such a spell!"

Savile's mental shock continues to echo in the Lingsi network, and such strong emotions also infect other people. This is pure gold!

Almost immediately, someone asked on the Lingsi network: "Can the president transform mithril?"

This is also a key issue that Savile or everyone is concerned about. After all, mithril is too important to magical civilization.

The production of mithril on the main plane is sufficient for the time being, but it is just like money. No one will think that they have too much money. Part of the mithril currently consumed by the Tower of Time comes from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, which collects and transships it from various places. , and the other part comes directly from Leisenling, the place where mithril is produced, and the price is not cheap.

If you can directly use magic to transform mithril, wouldn't it be more worth looking forward to than having a hundred rich mithril mines? After all, minerals still need to be mined, smelted, purified, and transported, but magic transformation can be used and made at any time!

Not only is it cheaper, it's also more convenient.

With the fact of converting adamantine, everyone on the spellcasting team was full of confidence in the possibility of converting mithril.

After all, mithril is not inherently more noble than fine gold, although it is indeed more important to magical civilization.

"Xia Duo, don't tell me that you really have mastered the secret method of transforming mithril, otherwise I will go crazy."

"Haha! It is possible to convert fine gold, but converting mithril is not possible yet. I also hope to be able to convert mithril. That way, I don't have to spend millions every year to buy mithril from outside."

Saville and Aibo believe in Sha Duo's explanation, but others are half-convinced. After all, the transformation of fine gold is right in front of them, and mithril is also entirely possible!

The reason why Savile and Aberke believed was not only because they believed in Sha Duo, but also based their judgment on their own magical qualities.

It is easy to transform or create matter with magic, even a mage apprentice can do it, but it is not that easy to transform or create specific substances. Not only is it not easy, but it is very, very difficult.

If you can master the method of transforming and creating specific substances, it is actually equivalent to mastering the mystery of the origin of all substances.

Savile can believe that Shado has gone further on the path of magic than him, but he absolutely does not believe that Shado has mastered the secret of the origin of all matter. In his opinion, this may be a secret that even God cannot know.

Perhaps because he was worried that others would misunderstand that Shado could transform mithril and cause unnecessary consequences, Savile also went out of his way to explain the process of element-matter change.

"If you want to create a certain kind of substance, you must first know the elemental composition of the substance. Otherwise, you can only try your luck. However, the possible elemental compositions are almost endless, corresponding to the infinite types of substances." (The transformation of elements does not necessarily mean the transformation of matter. Out of simple substances, it is more likely to be various compounds or even mixtures, so it is infinite versus infinite)

There is a proverb that "arrogance comes from ignorance". Not all high-level mages have a thorough understanding of the nature of matter, not to mention that most of the high-level mages here are "parallel imports" of high-level people who have passed through inherited rituals.

If Savile didn't explain, they might really think that Xia Duo was hiding something, but after Savile explained in detail, they would naturally understand the difficulty of creating a specific substance.

They may still believe that Xia Duo is hiding something, but compared to before, their belief now may be closer to a beautiful expectation of transforming mithril.

…

"Okay, let's stop the discussion here for the time being. The second phase of construction has not been completed yet. Let's finish today's work first, and then we can discuss it slowly when we have time."

Xia Duo brought the gradually diverging topics in Lingsi Network back to the project itself. After a moment of calming down from everyone's amazement, he started distributing instructions again.

The second time was much smoother. I had already seen the spellcasting phenomenon, and I already knew that the transformation target was from pure water to fine gold, and the spell itself was simple enough (compared to the first phase of the Mystery Lock), so I kept using it. Even when the converted fine gold expanded outward to occupy a small part of the myth lock, there was still no mistake.

Soon, the spell was completed, and what appeared in front of everyone was a huge piece of fine gold that exceeded the total amount of fine gold mined in the history of the main plane.

"Is this complete? Where is the main body of the floating city? Just a lump of fine gold?"

"Well, your work has been completed, let Misuo do the rest!"

Xia Duo then operated the mystery lock to lock the huge lump of fine gold. Compared with Chang'an City, the automation level of the new floating city's mystery lock has made a qualitative leap.

Chang'an City builds the main body first, and then builds the mystery lock. The mystery lock is limited by the main body, which in turn also limits the main body; while the new floating city builds the mystery lock first, and then builds the main body. The main body is controlled by the mystery lock. Correspondingly, the shape of the main body also changes. More freedom.

In layman's terms, the previous floating city was roughly spherical. Even if it is expanded, it is difficult to change this basic structure. Even if war magic is used to transform the space and show the internal structure to the outside, it is not a real change of the structure itself, but It’s a change in space, a trick.

But the main body of the current floating city can indeed change. It is possible to change it into a ball today and a tablet tomorrow.

Looking at it from another perspective, the main body of the new floating city should actually be the Mystery Lock. The main body exists attached to the Mystery Lock, just to facilitate humans to stay within the Mystery Lock range.
