Arcane Lord

With the new technology in hand, Xia Duo is not ready to stop the original projects of the Tower of Time Plane Exploration Center. No matter how much resources and manpower is invested in this kind of basic research, it is not too much.

It's just that the Tower of Time's development time is short, and the resources and manpower that can be invested are still relatively small.

"The Seven Towers have spread the ether boundary exploration technology everywhere. In the future, this technical route may become the mainstream of Netheril exploration. This makes our original research even more valuable."

"You mean to keep the original project?" Savile was a little surprised.

"Not only must we retain it, but we must also vigorously develop it! We can just study the ether boundary exploration privately. There is no need to form a special project team. We can just follow up on the New Severington side."

Having said this, Shado asked Savile again: "Who do you think you can send to New Sevington? If not, then you can only train them again, which will take a certain amount of time."

"Then you can train them again. I can use all the people here. If you train them again, you can give me more manpower."

"That's necessary. For the next fifth phase of the inheritance ceremony, priority should be given to satisfying the Plane Exploration Center!"

The reason why Chateau insists on the etheric interlayer route is, on the one hand, as mentioned before. No amount of investment in basic research can be exaggerated. On the other hand, it is also because of his disapproval of the ether boundary route given by Plitatis. distrust.

Worried about being deliberately led astray by an alien dragon with ulterior motives.

Since the plane exploration in New Sevington will be based on the etheric boundary route, he will naturally stick to the etheric interlayer route here.

"Now, are you going back to Sevington to continue watching the game? Or are you going to try this so-called ether boundary crossing together?"

Chateau glanced at Savile, then clicked on the spell information between the two of them, and said with great anticipation: "Of course I want to try this!"

Speaking of which, if Savile hadn't reminded him, he might have forgotten that the snow-melting competition was still going on. In fact, with such a big thing happening now, the snow-melting competition is no longer important.

Xia Duo estimated that few of the other congressmen would still be interested in going back to watch the game. This year's game does not involve the distribution of mineral income from the Gray Peak Mountains. Even if it does, it may not be as important as the discovery of a new dimension.

Previously in Severington, the members of the House of Representatives generally ignored an issue - the issue of the ownership of the newly discovered planes.

Since it is not mentioned, it is the default first-come-first-served principle. Whoever is lucky enough to occupy a key node of the future transmission link in advance will make a lot of money.

"Let's go, let's seize the time and try the effect of crossing the etheric boundary!"

…

Ethereal plane, southern black forest.

Although the southern border of the main plane has been developed a lot, in the corresponding etheric plane, most of the area is still a dry black forest scene, and only the area corresponding to the Savile Territory has a few architectural ruins.

Those architectural ruins can be considered a reflection of Savileland's past history, but unless they are magical buildings, most of them can only exist as dilapidated ruins.

Xia Duo and Saville landed in the black forest corresponding to the Great Xia Territory. Above their heads was the floating city of Yongle, which looked like the sun. However, the current Yongle City did not exist in the etheric plane, but its influence or magical protection penetrated deep into the ether. plane.

If there is no special protection against the etheric plane, any mage who can transform into a spirit body may use the etheric plane to flow to the floating city.

If that's the case, what's the point of all the protection on the material plane?

Therefore, truly effective protection must cover multiple coexisting planes. In addition to the etheric plane, there are also shadow planes and astral planes.

Xia Duo's floating city includes protection from these three planes that coexist with the material plane, but the Tower of Time only has protection against the two planes of ether and shadow, and the astral realm is not included.

In other words, if there is a mage who is proficient in astral teleportation, he can bypass the protection system of the Tower of Time and teleport directly into the Tower of Time.

The reason for the lack of astral protection also has historical origins. Most of the transmission spells on the main plane use the etheric plane, and few use the astral plane as the transmission medium.

There are almost no astral teleportation spells, so there is no need to set up comprehensive astral protection.

Shado originally thought so too, but after seeing teleportation spells based on the astral realm in Severton, he added astral protection when designing the floating city.

Needless to say, there is no need to mention the ether protection.

Normally, the etheric protection of the floating city hides the aura, but now Shado and Saville are planning to create an ether boundary in the black forest. They are not sure what will happen. Letting the aura appear in the floating city can also be used as a guide.

If you get lost, you can find it back according to the guidance of the spiritual light as long as it is not too far away.

If you really get lost in another world, there is no need to worry if Xia Duo carries the robe of longing with him. The most troublesome thing is actually getting lost in the etheric mist and being completely far away from the material plane. That will be difficult to deal with.

If it weren't for the fact that the saint form incarnation cannot cross planes and the ectoplasmic incarnation cannot enter the etheric plane, he would actually prefer to use the incarnation to conduct experiments.

But in general, risks do exist, but there are almost no risks that can threaten Xia Duo's life. There are more risks of getting lost, and this risk is actually controllable.

It is impossible for people to live in a world without any risk. Even drinking water can cause death by choking. As long as it is relatively controllable, there is no harm in taking some risks.

…

In a flat area in the black forest, Shado cleared a large area of ​​dry trees around him, and then said to Saville: "You come to cast the spell and experiment, and I will guard and protect it."

"Okay, look at me!"

Xavier responded and began to cast spells based on the spell information provided by Plitatis. This was probably the confidence of a veteran spell caster. If it were Sha Duo, he might not be so confident.

As the spell progressed, in the experimental area reserved about ten meters in front of the two of them, the etheric mist that was originally so thin that it was difficult to detect quickly became thicker, clearly looking like a pale mist, and glowing with hazy colorful light.

If you want to create an etheric boundary, you need to gather the etheric mist. In other words, when the etheric mist is thick enough, it will naturally appear as a plane shadow near the main plane.

As for crossing the etheric boundary, that is actually another spell.

Soon, as the etheric mist became thicker, the originally discernible mist also gradually became pure, as if it had turned from the original pixelated style to a solid color little by little.

The hazy colorful light it emits becomes lighter and lighter, but not completely lighter. Between the rich fog of almost pure color and the thinner surrounding fog of pale pixel wind, the colorful light still exists, and because of the In contrast, it seems to have a stronger sense of presence.

"It should be almost critical!" Saville could still remind Shado while he was distracted.

When Xia Duo saw this, his heart tightened, and then he checked the status of each protective spell again. After confirming that there was no abnormality, the rest was up to Savile. (End of chapter)
