Arcane Lord

It is not very difficult to simply destroy a magic item, but Sha Duo's purpose is not to destroy, but to crack. He has no interest in the materials for making this spell book. What he needs is this spell book. the knowledge contained.

Whether it is the individual spells recorded internally or the production process of the spell book itself.

Of course, the cracking method chosen by Xia Duo now is actually a kind of destruction, but this method is not simple and crude.

"By the way, Niya, how well do you master mithril component bridging?"

"I have only studied the theory, but have not practiced it in practice."

"..."

Of course, Shado has also studied theories, and even uses them frequently, but one theory corresponds to multiple practical applications. He has tried it once every time on mithril component bridging, an operation specifically used to crack magic items.

The theory involved in bridging the mithril components of magic items is actually the same as the spell level upgrading involved in upgrading the arcanist, but in reverse, which is called equivalent downgrade.

The two are integrated. To describe it in one sentence, that is - high-level spells can be completely composed of low-level elements. In turn, high-level spells can also be deduced from low-level elements.

If you want to decipher this spell book, you must first figure out all the elements related to the blockade in this spell book, and then you can proceed to the next step of decryption.

If all the elements cannot be known, then decryption is impossible.

However, this spell book is encrypted and blocked, and it also involves levels above the 5th level. This is beyond the scope of Sha Duo and Niya's "observation". If you want to study it, you must go through equivalent transformation and transform it into Low-level elements.

And this transformation process, when implemented into specific operations, is the bridging of mithril structural parts.

This not only requires proficiency in theory, but also has high requirements for practical operation.

Niya said before that this was the first time she had conducted such a cracking experiment, and now it seems that she was indeed lying.

In this case, Xia Duo began to take the initiative to arrange work. He first closed the notebook that had just recorded the results of the [Appraisal Technique] and wrote on the cover - "Record of Feld's Spell Book Cracking Experiment".

Then he handed the note to Niya and said: "First record the low-level elements, and then use [Identification Technique] to find a breakthrough point. As for the mithril component bridging, I think we still need to practice first, what do you think? "

"I agree, I'm just impatient."

"Don't say that, I'm impatient too, but cracking the high-level spell book is not something that the two of us can do in a short time. It's good to learn and crack at the same time."

"Um."

…

It doesn't take much time to record the low-level elements, especially when there are two people. However, it is not that easy to find the breakthrough point through [Identification Technique].

Of course, if you are powerful, you can just find a bridge anywhere, but if you are powerful, you don't need to use this method. You can even directly identify the relevant functions of the spell book, and then cast targeted spells to release the relevant blocking spells.

What Sha Duo and Nia are doing now is similar to how apprentice mage tries to understand the official mage, but the gap between Sha Duo, Nia and the Feld mage is far larger than the gap from apprentice to official mage.

It is difficult, but it is also a process of learning and research.

Next, the two took turns to cast [Identification Technique], ranging from level 1 to level 5, hoping to find something valuable from the spell book to the energy flow in the string of the magic network.

He had just cast a 3rd level [Appraisal Technique], and before he could start recording, Niya took the "Experimental Record" one step ahead of schedule. Sha Duo immediately looked at Niya in confusion, "What's wrong? What did you forget to write just now?" Yet?"

"No, it's not me, it's you!"

"I, what's wrong with me?"

"It's time for you to rest!" Niya casually took out a strappy mirror and stretched it out in front of Sha Duo, "Look at your face."

"My face?" Xia Duo subconsciously looked at the mirror and saw a young man with a tired face, but Xia Duo was still focused at this time.

Under the magical vision, this palm-sized mirror is emitting a dazzling magical aura!

For a moment, Xia Duo actually forgot what Niya had just said. There was only one word constantly swirling in his mind - Hao, does Niya usually look in this mirror?

After Niya put away the mirror, Xia Duo then remembered that he had not slept for two days and two nights. In addition, he continued to cast spells, and his complexion was quite bad. However, he had been focusing on the spell book and ignored it. This time, Niya had to remind me to remember.

At this time, fatigue happened to hit him, and Xia Duo took advantage of the situation and said, "I'll go back right now."

"I send you."

"Yeah." Xia Duo didn't refuse.

Without Niya to send him, he appeared in the private area of ​​Giles Tower as an outsider, and he didn't know whether he would be captured by the tower spirit.

…

After returning to his temporary residence here, Xia Duo did not rest immediately. There was still a necessary task that needed to be completed, and that was to create arcane crystals.

These days, he has accumulated some experience. The arcane fire is indeed constantly generating arcane energy, but the speed is very limited.

Sha Duo roughly estimated that if the arcane energy in the arcane fire was completely consumed (including making arcana energy crystals), it would take about 8 hours to recover.

Therefore, the most ideal situation is to use the 5-ring [Create Arcane Crystal] every 8 hours, so that the "production capacity" of arcane fire can be fully utilized.

Of course, the actual situation is not so ideal. Xia Duo's plan is to create one at night before going to bed. During the day, try to keep the arcane energy sufficient to prevent accidents.

It is true that arcane crystals can be absorbed by arcane fire, but this also takes time. The efficiency is the same as the speed at which arcana fire generates arcane energy, and it does not fill up with one click.

This would waste two-thirds of Arcane Fire's daily production capacity, but there was nothing that could be done about it. Sha Duo was already researching ways to directly introduce Arcane Energy into the portable space.

Not only will this not waste any arcane fire production capacity, but it also saves you the trouble of using [Creating Arcane Crystals], which is simply not too complicated.

It's just that Xia Duo's time to become an arcanist is still short, and he hasn't had time to produce any results yet. There may be some blind spots in thinking that I haven’t thought of yet.

He believed that arcane energy could be directly introduced into the portable space, just as convenient as accessing items.

——[Create arcane crystals]!

This time, Xia Duo still only created an arcane crystal less than the size of a grain of rice, and casually threw the arcana crystal that was not enough to fill his teeth into the portable space.

But "looking at" the space expanded a bit, Xia Duo then fell asleep with satisfaction.
