Arcane Lord

Looking at the projection screen in the lobby on the first floor, Xia Duo looked calm, and then looked at other projection screens. Except for those who were in class, the remaining apprentices were quietly discussing the Tower of Time even if they were working. sudden changes.

Seeing that some people were regaining hope in magic, Xia Duo finally showed a satisfied expression. In the past, the Tower of Time was too harsh on apprentices. Even if it was to "cut leeks", they had to wait until the leeks grew up before they could cut more. There are so many!

However, Xia Duo's emphasis on training apprentices is not for the sake of cutting leeks, but for development and a win-win situation!

There is indeed selfishness, but it does not harm the interests of these apprentices. On the contrary, these apprentices will change their destiny and have a broader future because of Sha Duo's decision.

After watching all the projection pictures, Shado has seen most of the feedback from Tower of Time members so far, except for a few pictures involving mid-level mages being obscured by spells.

It was not much different from what he had expected, and the overall situation was still under control.

…

"Ta Ling, has anyone left a message for me?" Sha Duo suddenly asked.

In the morning group meeting, he said that people who want to serve in the newly established Audit Office and Apprenticeship Management Office can contact him. Several hours have passed by now.

If anyone really wants to join the new department, the decision should have been made by now.

"Agent Xia Duo, someone left a message."

"who?"

"Jose the Master."

Jose?

An image of a kind, slightly fat middle-aged man emerged in Xia Duo's mind. It was Master Jose. Xia Duo had known him when he was an apprentice and had interacted with him several times. However, Xia Duo was still an apprentice at that time. For Master Jose He could only stay away from his kindness.

Later, after he became an official mage, the two of them had more interactions, and their relationship was pretty good, only a little further than Dean and others who were familiar with Sha Duo during his apprenticeship.

Jose wants to join a new department?

"Taling, what message does Jose have?"

After hearing the order, Taling immediately sent Jose's voice message. Only then did Xia Duo suddenly realize, "She really wants to enter the Apprentice Management Office, no wonder!"

The first time he and Jose met was when he was exchanging learning scrolls at the Materials Management Office. At that time, Jose specifically reminded him not to be overly obsessed with the effects of spells, but to have a deep understanding of the principles.

After several encounters, Xia Duo also noticed that the other party was reminding his apprentices in various ways, which meant that he was "good to be a teacher".

Now it is not unexpected to see that he wants to enter the Apprentice Management Office.

It's just that Xia Duo has already made plans for the candidates for the new department. At the meeting, he said that he could be contacted. In fact, he was just testing everyone's attitude towards the transformation. Not opposing it was one kind, and actively embracing it was another.

As for Jose, Xia Duo decided to arrange him to the apprentice management office. Although it was unplanned, there were so many apprentices and Xia Duo didn't care about one more teacher.

…

After reading the message, Xia Duo continued to sort out the previously unfinished list of exempted books. This needed to be completed as soon as possible. However, he did not need to do any subsequent adjustments to the content of the books himself. He could just leave them to the members of the Association. He only needed the final Complete review.

Until the evening, after deleting, deleting and revising several times, Xia Duo transferred the list to the Institute. Then he checked the messages again and found that in addition to Jose at the beginning, two or three more mages had left messages.

They all want to work in the Apprentice Management Office, and Xia Duo is also prepared to put them in the Apprentice Management Office according to the way he dealt with Jose before.

However, no one was selected for the Audit Office, which surprised Xia Duo. This is a department with real power. With the Tower of Time as its backing, are we still afraid of retaliation from those mid-level mages?

However, the fact that no one signed up also saved Xia Duo a lot of trouble. His original plan was to find a few stewards who were proficient in arithmetic from Hans and Slavin's chambers of commerce to handle various matters in the audit office. affairs.

Let professional people do professional things. This is Xia Duo's consistent employment philosophy.

But letting formal mages work under ordinary people is still a bit too advanced for the current Tower of Time.

…

After dinner, Shado received an invitation from Niya to conduct the first bridging experiment of the [Feld's Spell Book Cracking Project]. In the previous more than a month of communication, the two had fully understood the Feld's Spell Book. learn.

They also formulated a detailed cracking plan. However, due to the fact that the experiment must be carried out on the spot, it was inconvenient for the two of them to live in two places, so it has been postponed until now.

Shado was looking forward to Feld's spell book. After receiving Niya's invitation, he did not choose to walk. Instead, he directly asked the Talling to teleport him to Niya's private laboratory.

At this moment, the light in the laboratory was bright, and the alchemy circle on the spacious experimental bench had been activated. When Xia Duo arrived, Niya was making the mithril components needed for the bridging experiment.

Seeing Niya's serious and focused look, Sha Duo said with a smile: "Why are you suddenly going to conduct a bridging experiment? I thought you would return to Severton!"

"..."

Hearing the familiar voices around her and thinking of what her two uncles said at Cecily's house at noon, Niya's heart suddenly went into chaos, and the mithril components that were being formed instantly scattered into a mithril droplet.

Fortunately, this level of repetition will not affect the quality of mithril. Niya calmed down and entered a state of concentration again, turning a deaf ear to Xia Duo's voice.

On the other side, Xia Duo did not notice Niya's mistake. He was at the other end of the "冂"-shaped experimental table, taking out the lead box containing the spell book from the dimensional bag, and then opened it carefully.

A light yellow spell book was lying quietly inside, with "Feld's Arcane Cane" written in Nese characters and elven characters on the cover.

This is the protagonist tonight.

Xia Duo glanced at Niya and saw that she had not finished making the mithril components, so he began to arrange the next bridge experiment——

A small wooden stand was taken out by Shado from the dimensional bag and placed on the experimental table. Immediately afterwards, Shado took out Feld's spell book from the lead box and embedded it in the wooden stand.

It's like it's hanging in the air.

After that, Shado continued to add more wooden structures around the seemingly suspended spellbook, a bit like the scaffolding used when building buildings on Earth.

In fact, these wooden structures are actually "scaffolding".

The bridging experiment requires destroying the physical form of the spell book, but at the same time, in order to avoid triggering the spell book's protection mechanism, the functionality of the spell book must be maintained intact.

The so-called "bridging" actually means using external mithril components to replace the destroyed physical form of the spell book itself.

The process of bridging is actually the process of cracking——

When a certain part is replaced by a plug-in Mithril component, the reaction will contain the information of this part. Whether it is equivalent or not, it is regarded as information leakage.

However, only equivalent replacement can be considered a real crack. Non-equivalent replacement means that some information has been permanently lost.

This is actually similar to programmers on earth cracking software source code.

What Shado and Niya have to do is to continue to partially decompile the spell book until all the elements are solved.

As for the elements higher than the 5th level, they need to be reversely analyzed using the principle of leveling up in the magic principle. Neither Sha Duo nor Niya are absolutely sure about this part.

In short, cracking a spell book, or cracking a magic item, is not only difficult at the level of principle and operation, but it is also a system project with a heavy workload.
