Arcane Lord

Returning to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo began to comprehensively summarize what he had gained from reading the [Scroll of Nese]. First of all, not to mention the integration of consciousness and the improvement of concentration, which were considered incidental benefits. Even if he did not read the Scroll of Nese, he would be able to achieve it in the future. To such an extent.

The real benefit should be the improvement of vision, and even knowledge itself is not the first priority. The golden page he was looking at systematically described the essence of magic, and even had multiple actual cases of different magic systems to demonstrate.

If you just focus on this knowledge, it can be said that this knowledge is relatively simple, and there is very little new knowledge that Xia Duo has not seen before.

However, the display of different perspectives gave Shado a deeper understanding of magic, and he also became more sympathetic to the arcane magic system of Netheril.

Although the Nese magic system is not recorded in the [Nese Scroll], it is the most "scientific" magic system extracted from the scroll. It may be called the magic version of "scientific enlightenment".

It is concise, without any fancy modifications, and goes straight to the essence of magic. Magic is magic, and it is the feedback that the caster gets when he plucks the strings of the magic network with his will.

There are many magic systems recorded in the Nese scrolls, most of which are so simple that they are not even recognized. They are almost unsystematic, and it is not a problem to even call them "primitive witchcraft".

Not to mention the standard explanation formed in this theory that directly points to the essence of magic.

"Arcane Geometry" is one of Chateau's most respected interpretation theories.

Describing the state of the magic network under magic vision in a geometric form makes it easier to abstract its inner essential relationships. More importantly, it allows countless ordinary people to participate in the research even if they do not have the ability to cast spells.

Not to mention, this theory completely integrates the Nese magic body system into a whole, and has tenacious development potential, no less than the "mathematical tools" on the earth.

It even goes beyond the category of "tool" and is already an integral part of Nese's magic system.

As for the Magic Network, it is the object studied by spellcasters, similar to the "all things in the universe" studied by natural sciences on earth. Of course, the situation in the magic world may be more complicated.

The Weave is not only nature itself, but also a tool for manipulating nature.

A thorough study of the Magic Network is actually similar to a thorough study of all things in the universe on earth. It can be said that this is the right way to develop.

The times are developing and individuals have desires (ideals). Is there any better choice besides magic?

At this moment, even Xia Duo couldn't help but have the idea that "God is just a more powerful arcanist". The deeper the understanding of the nature of magic, the more he will agree with this idea.

It's almost predictable. Magic has no limits, so why can't you become a god?

The reason why there is no broad consensus is that Xia Duo thinks that God really exists.

Or are you worried that such remarks will offend God, or have seen the power of God to the point of despair, or are you simply hiding this thought in your heart and ready to explode at any time?

…

After writing down some of the things he found interesting, Xia Duo put away his notes and walked through the first-floor hall of the Tower of Time to the ruins of the Mystery Lock outside. The environment of the Magic Network here has now become much calmer.

Although it is still very dangerous for ordinary people, Xia Duo just needs to be careful, and safe passage is not a problem.

If this matter had been done before, he might still be very happy, but since he mastered teleportation, it no longer mattered whether he passed through the Mystery Ruins and returned directly to Linshui Village.

Teleportation is more convenient than anything else.

This time, Xia Duo saw from the tower spirit that the energy consumption of the Tower of Time had been reduced a lot, and concluded that the outside should be passable.

This time we simply passed through here and returned to Linshui Village.

Mysuo Ruins originated from the original elven ruins. At first, part of the ruins was hidden by Mysuo. Later, when Mysuo completely collapsed, this part was released, which is equivalent to an extra piece of land here out of thin air.

But it still fits in with the surroundings without any sense of inconsistency.

Today's Mysuo ruins are about one mile in radius. There are still many incompletely decayed elven buildings that were originally hidden by Mysuo. Of course, after the Mysuo's collapse, no buildings are still standing.

Judging from the previous ruins, this place should be a stronghold that was abandoned in advance. Therefore, Xia Duo did not have many illusions about these new building ruins. Did he still expect to find any lost artifacts from them?

It's a problem even if you find it.

After a while, Xia Duo had already reached the edge of the ruins. Of course, it was only the edge of the Mystery Ruins, not the edge of the ruins.

From a distance, I saw Egbod of [Hidden Hand] summoning arcane fire to repair the magic network. Shado did not approach, but nodded in greeting, and then walked around from the side.

Repairing the magic network requires arcane fire. This process is relatively dangerous. Of course, the repair itself does not have much risk, but it is more troublesome and time-consuming. The danger comes from the outside world.

Once the arcane fire is extinguished, it is equivalent to losing the identity of an arcanist. It will not be easy to advance again, unless he still only touches the fifth level of the magic network and does not go deeper.

Otherwise, you can only advance after becoming a legendary mage.

Theoretically, an arcanist can become a grand arcanist, as long as there is enough time, but they are all involved in repairing the magic network and seeking divine favor. Without arcane fire, how likely is it to become a legendary mage and then advance to the next level?

Basically, once the arcane fire is extinguished, it is equivalent to the dream of becoming a great arcanist being shattered. Although the possibility of this dream itself is very small, it is a feasible dream anyway.

At present, Xia Duo doesn't know how to quickly destroy the arcane fire, but to show respect or avoid suspicion, it's not a bad thing to avoid it.

What's more, the other party must have taken adequate precautions, and it's not that easy to make a sneak attack.

…

Returning to Linshui Village, Xia Duo found that there was a half-person-high pile of wood chips near the wooden house manufacturing workshop, and he didn't know whether it was because he didn't explain it clearly before, or whether the residents had understood it too much.

These wood fragments were relatively regular in size and seemed to have been specially processed. Xia Duo was a bit dumbfounded by this. All he wanted was to chop the wood into pieces so that it would be easier to cast spells.

Unexpectedly, it actually turned into wood chips now.

Of course, from another perspective, this also shows that the craftsmanship and efficiency of the citizens are pretty good! After all, there are no automated tools here, everything is done by hand.

Xia Duo praised all the carpenters in the wooden house manufacturing workshop, then packed the wood chips in dimensional bags and took them to the north of Linshui River, finding a slightly larger open space.
