Arcane Lord

On the other side, Niya heard Sha Duo's call, which just ended this round of practice. She wiped the non-existent sweat on her forehead, came to Sha Duo, and asked with concern:

"Is the problem solved? If the arcane crystals are not enough, I still have them here."

Niya knew that as she had just advanced to become an Arcanist, the link between the Arcane Fire and the Magic Network would be unstable. Once the energy was not drawn from the Magic Network in time, it might even be knocked back to its original form.

At this time, it is necessary to use arcane crystals to maintain the arcane fire. Niya thinks that Xia Duo advanced in such a hurry that he may have encountered instability in the arcane fire.

Now that Xia Duo's mind has calmed down, his words will not reveal anything. He feels a little sorry for Niya's concern, but how can such important things as carrying the space and manifesting the Nese scroll be revealed so easily.

Don't try to test human nature, because no matter what the result is, it will only increase the suspicion between the two and eventually turn into a scene you don't want to see.

There are secrets between father and son who are blood relatives, let alone a couple. Besides, the relationship between Xia Duo and Niya is not close enough to that of a normal couple.

Since Niya might have misunderstood something, Xia Duo followed her words: "It's settled. It's getting late today. I should go back. You should also rest early. We have to go to the game tomorrow."

"good."

Niya nodded and sent Xia Duo out of the residence, all the way to an area where Xia Duo could move around freely. Then, Xia Duo refused. She had to send him back and forth, so he didn't sleep all night.

…

After returning to his residence, although Xia Duo's mood had calmed down and was no longer as agitated as before, his interest in portable space had not diminished at all, but had increased countless times.

Only now, he is calmer.

Speaking of which, he had not slept a wink from last night to tonight. He should have rested long ago, but now it was simply a torture for him to go to bed.

Taking advantage of the feeling that he had successfully cast the spell before, Xia Duo directly cast the 5-ring spell [Create Arcane Crystal] at his residence, an environment without a magic network to stabilize the field.

Compared with casting spells in Niya's magic laboratory and in a normal magic network environment, Sha Duo clearly felt that the "resistance" of the magic network strings had become greater.

The difficulty of controlling this spell has also increased.

Thanks to the long-term spell practice that he has not relaxed for a long time, despite some stumbles, Sha Duo still successfully cast the spell, and a smaller arcana crystal particle than before appeared at the location pointed by his will.

Xia Duo quickly reached out and grabbed it. The arcane energy that had solidified into crystals could not be directly controlled unless it was reabsorbed. It was equivalent to being abandoned by the arcanist.

At this moment, under Sha Duo's gaze, this extremely small arcane crystal particle was emitting a faint light blue glow, which was completely different from the previous arcane crystal particle.

It looks like the arcane crystals are slowly evaporating. In fact, the arcane crystals are indeed getting smaller.

but--

This scene is also similar to the scene where arcane crystals are slowly "swallowed" in the portable space.

If he had not experienced the portable space devouring arcane crystals, Xia Duo might not have thought of this. Although there are such records in the book, when the arcane crystals are manufactured, if the solidification process is not mastered well, such dissipation will occur. Phenomenon.

But isn’t the main plane also a huge space?

Such dissipation of arcane energy, from another angle, isn't it that the main plane is "devouring" the arcane energy?

It's just that the main plane is so big that it would be difficult for others to notice this.

However, Shado is not entirely sure that the main plane will also swallow up the growth of arcane energy. If this is the case, then the importance of arcane energy may have to reach another level.

…

While the arcane crystal particles had not completely dissipated, Xia Duo quickly put the "mosquito leg" into his pocket. Arcane crystals were expensive, and the price of a standard crystal remained stable at around 5,000 gold coins all year round.

But these are all past transaction prices. In fact, few people will sell the crystallized arcana.

Generally speaking, only the mage tower can be used as a unit to obtain a certain quota from the Arcane Federation. For ordinary mages, there are basically only two channels for obtaining arcane crystals: direct transactions with arcanists, Or get it from the corresponding mage tower.

The current standard reserve of arcane crystals in the Tower of Time is less than 100, thanks to those arcanists who want to go to the Mysterious Ruins to "earn divine favor."

The Tower of Time receives only 2 quotas from the Arcane Federation every year, which are generally only used for the maintenance of key magic circles of the Tower of Time and are rarely used to make magic items.

Not to mention letting Xia Duo appropriate it to expand the portable space.

In the past, Xia Duo felt that territory development was quite expensive, but now it seems that the cost of territory development is not comparable to the "gold-eating beast" of portable space!

It seems that no matter which world he is in, he cannot escape the fate of krypton gold. However, how can he become stronger without spending money?

Sha Duo pursed his lips and easily accepted this setting. Seeing that the arcane energy circulating in the arcane fire was almost disappearing, the arcana fire was still working tirelessly to absorb energy from the magic network and continuously convert it into arcana energy.

But this speed is almost nothing compared to the extraction speed of Xia Duo's spells and the devouring speed of the portable space.

"We should think of a way to quantify arcane energy."

Before becoming an arcanist, there is no need to consider energy issues at all. All spell consumption is provided by the magic network. The caster only needs to activate the "machine" of the magic network.

But as an arcanist, how can he not count the actual consumption of spells?

What's more, for Xia Duo, knowing the quantitative standards of arcane energy will also help him judge the growth progress of portable space, and even formulate corresponding expansion plans in advance.

After writing down some of his thoughts on paper, Xia Duo packed up and got ready to go to bed.

…

Early the next morning, Xia Duo woke up from his deep sleep and subconsciously wanted to meditate, but when he thought that he had successfully advanced, his motivation to meditate suddenly became much smaller.

Although he knows that the final result of meditation may reach the level of integrating subconscious and conscious consciousness. Perhaps this is the maximum state of concentration, but for now, it takes up a lot of time, but the actual effect is minimal.

Going from Arcanist to Grand Arcanist is no longer an advancement, it is just normal growth. In theory, any Arcanist can eventually become a Grand Arcanist.

You only need to upgrade your arcane fire to the level of a great arcanist. This process does not require foreign objects, only knowledge.

In reality, there are many reasons why there are so few Grand Arcanists, but in the final analysis, human lifespan is too short to complete the upgrade before the end of life.

If it is an immortal, even if it is hard work, it will be worn out after thousands of years.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, half-day meditation has no practical effect. It is better to use it to study magic and integrate consciousness through technical means, which may be faster than meditating.

Foolish Old Man's ability to move mountains requires endless descendants, but in modern society, as long as necessary, machines can be driven over at any time to complete the work that Foolish Old Man could not complete in several lifetimes.

This is the productivity improvement brought about by technological progress.

Xia Duo comes from the earth. Although most of the technologies on the earth cannot be used in the magical world, the scientific methodology is based on logic and can undoubtedly be used.

On earth, science and technology are the primary productive forces, so in the magical world, magic technology (spells) are the primary productive forces.

After clearing his mind, Xia Duo no longer had any expectations for meditation. The methods in the past stage were not suitable for the development needs of the new stage, and they had to be eliminated when they should be eliminated.
