Arcane Lord

Generally speaking, no matter how powerful the spell is, it belongs to the microscopic level, and its changes to the strings of the magic network are not permanent. The magic network can be regarded as a river, while the spells at the microscopic level are composed of water molecules.

After the spell ends, the originally artificially twisted string of the magic net will return to its original state in the magic net just like water molecules rejoining the river, like a mighty and never-ending river.

The Mystery Lock is built at the macro level of the Magic Network, and is like solid ice floating in the river. Its size is already large enough to maintain its own existence.

And now, in this series of attacks that occurred in Elam, one of them, Sha Duo, watched the whole process from the perspective of "broiler" Person. It was not that a high mage temporarily created a mystery lock and then destroyed it, but some kind of establishment. A powerful magical weapon at the microscopic level of the magic network.

Microcosmic does not mean weak. Just like Mythra, it is also a magic weapon built on the microscopic level. Microscopic and macroscopic are only distinguished from the perspective of the caster's use of the magic network.

However, it stands to reason that spells at the micro level should not lead to magic network riots similar to the Mystic Lock. The Mystic Lock is solid ice in the water and is insoluble in water. Once it collapses, the result will be very violent.

Once the spell at the microscopic level is completed, it is like water dissolving in water, and the strings of the magic network involved become exactly the same as other strings of the magic network.

The time required for this process varies depending on the level of the spell ring, but according to past experience, in this case, there will generally only be a little residual spiritual light left, rather than the rioting magic network like now.

Shado was very puzzled by this. Not only him, but also Felipa and the Yeerlan investigators he brought were shocked and confused.

Not to mention the Alliance Observation Group, there are only two or three high-ranking mages among these mages, and the rest are only senior or elite mages, and there is even a Muggle like Ambassador Irusk.

"Consultant Xia Duo, what kind of magic do you think is causing this situation?" Philifa discussed with the subordinates he brought for a while, and then asked Xia Duo for advice.

In response, Xia Duo just shook his head helplessly, "It's hard to imagine that any spell can have such an effect. Is it possible that every attack consumes a high mage?"

"This is impossible. There are countless high-level mages in the North, and the whereabouts of each one can be traced. Even the Illuminati cannot mobilize seven high-level mages at once without being suspected afterwards."

Philipfa directly denied Shado's speculation. In fact, he also denied that the implementation of these attacks was through the construction of temporary mystery locks.

But there's a problem!

From an intelligence point of view, there are no shortage of high-ranking mage in the North. This can rule out the high-ranking mage from committing crimes, because if the high-ranking mage wants to do such a thing in a short time, he must release the saint form to the maximum extent, or even This is achieved by sacrificing oneself.

And this is difficult to conceal after the fact.

But judging from the current development status of arcane magic in the North, theoretically no mage can perform microscopic magic to such an extent. This is beyond the imagination of the arcane wizards in the North.

Of course, there is another explanation, and it is also a possibility that Sha Duo deliberately avoids - that is the equation spell. This spell starts at the micro level, but it can also affect the macro structure of the magic network.

Compared with Mysuo, there seems to be a sense of reaching the same destination through different paths.

However, the derivation of equation spells involves too many factors. Sha Duo does not think that anyone else in the main plane of the current era can derive equation spells except him.

To take a step back, even if the Illuminati really obtains the Elamite legacy in the different timelines and masters a certain equation spell, there is still something unexplainable, and that is——

The powerful magic staff that Isloda gave to Person!

Although Person's perspective did not allow him to identify the core function of the scepter, he could more or less judge that it should be a regular magic weapon, rather than a special magic weapon that solidified a certain equation spell.

Xia Duo believes that because equation magic exhausts all possibilities in a certain field, ordinary materials must not be used as carriers of equation magic. He has done many experiments on this point.

He speculated that perhaps only the real magic network could be used as a material to carry the equation spell, and the magic scepter that Isloda gave to Person before was even less likely to be made of the magic network!

In short, this matter is full of doubts. Even if the Illuminati chooses to attack the factory he and Ye Erlan built together, the actual situation may not be as he had guessed before. The Illuminati is aware that the factory affects their time-related rituals.

At present, since Xia Duo doesn't know much about the Illuminati, many of his current judgments are actually based on guesses. Some reasons may seem tenable, but in fact they may not be the truth.

What made him even more incomprehensible was not why the Illuminati attacked these seven factories and how they attacked them, but that since the Illuminati had such means, why didn't they use it before?

In other words, it might be more useful to use this method at the alliance headquarters in Everriska, so why not use it?

You are ready to subvert the timeline, are you still worried about accidentally hurting innocent people? If this is the case, are there no innocent people in the magic weapon factory built for the development of Elam this time?

…

Although they could not understand the attack method, it did not prevent Shado, Philipa, and even the alliance observation team from recording the characteristics of the magic network environment at the scene after the attack.

During the recording process, Xia Duo discovered two phenomena worth mentioning, which seemed to overturn his previous judgment.

One is that the magic network oscillation at the edge of the deep pit left after the factory was destroyed is not completely chaotic, but has certain rules.

This is somewhat different from his previous preliminary judgment-"similar to the magic network riot when the maze collapses".

The magic network riot when the maze collapses is irregular. Even if its source is limited, after repeated oscillations and mutual influence, the final magic network state has been completely changed and it is difficult to restore it!

Even with the original maze blueprint, it is difficult to restore this turbulent process.

In other words, given a maze blueprint, it is impossible to determine the state of the maze after its collapse, even if the initial collapse node is given.

As long as the collapse begins, it is almost impossible to predict the follow-up. This is a bit like the chaotic pendulum on the earth. The initial conditions are exactly the same, but there are a lot of variables in the process, which makes the follow-up results completely unpredictable.

This is the characteristic of the collapse of the maze.

But at the edge of the deep pit left after the factory was destroyed, there were some regular oscillations that circulated back and forth within a certain period. At first, they were hidden in the background of the magic network riot, so Xia Duocai did not discover them at the first time.

It was only during the subsequent recording process that this phenomenon was discovered.
