Arcane Lord

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo put down his last worry. As for the actual effect of [Body Protecting Spiritual Light], it was roughly the same as that of the Eastern World Identity Card. He had tested it many times before.

The combined version of "Mage Armor" and "Energy Absorption", which is similar to arcane magic, is already considered an extremely strong protection for ordinary people.

As for more, when more order spells are discovered, protection-related ones will gradually be arranged for relevant people. It has just started now, and it would be good to have a body-protecting aura.

"Gibb stays, others have to go and get busy!"

"yes."

After everyone except Gibb and Leiden left, Shado took out a stack of ordinary papers, handed them to Gibb, and then told him:

"You can think of these as [Body Protection Spiritual Light] scrolls for your subordinates to use. You can take them with you when you go out on patrol. Let me know the effect after a while."

"Okay, I will arrange it."

Gibb curiously took the stack of paper and put it away solemnly, while Chateau also explained to him the use of this special spell carrier.

If the authorized [Body Protecting Aura] is a real-name order spell, these spells attached to ordinary paper are not real-name, and anyone within the scope of the order can use it if they get it.

It's just that at present, he can't do it like a magic scroll, so that ordinary people can tell the difference before and after use, so he only plans to use this special spell carrier in the initial experiment, and will definitely use more formal carriers in the future. .

Just like the identity cards in the Eastern World, even if you can't get that kind of material, you can still use mass-produced magic items as carriers to integrate communication instruments, ID cards, and territorial order spells.

…

After arranging the non-real-name order spell test, Sha Duo's work at the Government Affairs Department was finished. After returning to the laboratory, he continued to study order spells with Ai Burke.

It's just that compared to some time ago, he invested more energy in studying various application methods of order spells. The rest is still the same as before, still focusing on discovering new primitive order spells.

Then he would discover the true standard order spell based on the original order spell. Although the research difficulty of order spell may be lower than he imagined, it is definitely not impossible.

"Protective Aura" is somewhat of a trick. It comes from the identity card of the Eastern world, and other spells require more time and effort. Fortunately, the experience of studying the body-protecting aura can also be used in other spells.

Other spells wouldn't be too difficult to conceive.

…

While Shado's body continued to explore the nature of the power of order and made good progress in researching order spells, his incarnation was not without gains in Everesca.

The first was Niya's Mystery Lock update. Under his cover, Niya made full use of the Lingsi network resources of the Time-related Magic Research Laboratory and completed the design of several major functions of the first update in a short period of time.

Testing with his incarnation will likely begin in the near future.

Secondly, there is the research on time-related magic. Although the progress is slow, it has made the biggest breakthrough since the establishment of the Time-related Magic Research Laboratory, which is——

Timeline turbulence detection!

In other words, the Northland Alliance can now theoretically monitor facility magic rituals. Although it is still impossible to detect abnormalities before or in the early stages of the ritual, as long as the timeline is turbulent in the second half of the ritual, it can be monitored and detected. There is no need to wait for the ceremony to be completed.

As long as you act in time, there is a chance to stop the ceremony safely.

It can be said that from the moment this technology was developed, the balance of the war has become more and more tilted towards the Northland Alliance.

Considering that there may be demon elements lurking within the Northland Alliance, under Shao Duo's suggestion, the discovery of this technology was not disclosed within the Northland Alliance, and was only disclosed to a few senior officials, and even this disclosure was accompanied by a certain degree of probing. Element.

Nowadays, at the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory, research on time-relevant magic is still continuing, but most of them are still waiting, waiting for the demon descendants to perform the next ritual, and then they can give the demon descendants an unexpected surprise. .

Therefore, Xia Duo can now focus more on things other than time-related magic research, such as his own research and inspecting the construction progress of the "Layered Multi-faceted Observation Tower".

…

Everesca, south of the city.

Knowing that Chateau was coming to inspect the construction progress, Schneider, the head of Cole Construction, also rushed to the scene in person and accompanied Chateau on the inspection, along with Oripus, who had just returned from Metril.

Oripus and Schneider had an intersection in the previous urban street lighting renovation project. Although Cole Architecture was not used in that project, they also have an intersection in this project. It is not out of the ordinary to stop by this time.

If there are any cooperation opportunities in the future, Oripus will still negotiate with Cole Construction as a representative of Shado. Now he is just looking for an opportunity to communicate normally.

On the construction site, the empty scene that Xia Duo saw at the groundbreaking ceremony half a month ago was no longer there. Instead, there were huge stacked irregular prisms.

Although the current appearance is still too "simple", the observation tower has indeed begun to take shape. Chateau and Schneider were at the foot of this tall building, chatting casually while inspecting.

"I'm very curious, what kind of dwarf Prince Cole is, so that Master Schneider you still choose to follow his will many years after his death!"

"There's nothing charming about Cole. He's just a drunkard. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have died at the hands of his evil relatives." Schneider replied calmly.

Although this answer was not very polite to the deceased, Shado could still hear a touch of sadness in Schneider's dissatisfied tone.

However, Xia Duo did not go further on this topic. Instead, he talked about the observation tower currently under construction, "Master Schneider, in your opinion, how long will it take to complete?"

"The main body is almost completed. The construction of magic facilities and internal decoration are more important. According to the normal progress, it will take about a month. Of course, if Lord Xia Duo wants to speed up, it is not impossible."

"Forget about speeding up, I just asked casually. The current construction progress is enough for me."

Before, Chateau had asked the designer of Cole Architecture that it could indeed be completed ahead of schedule, but just like the rules anywhere in the world, more money would have to be added.

And it's not a small amount, but 20% of the total price. This is obviously something Shado cannot accept. After all, this price can be used to build an ordinary mage tower in Netheril.

Fortunately, Cole Construction inherited the dwarf tradition and did not delay deliberately because Shado did not purchase the speed-up service. If it were an all-elf construction team, it would be inevitable that they would use some tricks.
