Arcane Lord

"The situation is a bit complicated. I have never seen such a curse before. There is a very strange and stubborn power attached to his leg. I need some time to think about how to expel it."

After Bishop Ambril finished speaking, he glanced at the petrified Jabbas with a strange posture on the side, then glanced at Pork lying on the board, and said to Shado:

"His condition is relatively mild and not life-threatening. If you agree, I will test the expulsion effect on him."

"Okay, I agree!" Shado agreed to Bishop Ambril's experiment without any hesitation, which just made it easier for him to conduct more detailed observations.

As for the "very strange and stubborn power" mentioned by the bishop, Shado didn't take it to heart. For a mage, magic is a very specific and quantifiable operation.

But for clergy, magic is more like a vague and mysterious force without a specific form, which is understood entirely through perception.

Both sides view the world from different perspectives.

The petrified state on Bok's legs was a strange power to Bishop Ambril, but to Shado, it was a specific spell that allowed him to understand its inner nature.

On this issue, mages and clergy basically cannot talk together. Unless they are astral mages or priests of the goddess of magic, it is best not to talk about magic. It is really not a joke to talk about chickens and ducks.

…

Next, Bishop Ambril checked the completely petrified Jabas, and then thought for a moment before trying it on Pork.

What appeared in Xia Duo's naked eye vision was a constantly changing sacred light surging in the bishop's hands, while the thigh of Pork that was illuminated did not change at all.

Not only did it not return to normal, it didn't even get worse, as if the bishop's actions were completely useless.

But in the magic vision, this series of stimulation exposed some details of the petrification spell. Although the bishop was not good at magic, he had a keen intuition about magic from experience.

His holy power shuttles back and forth in the strings of the magic net, bumping here and touching here, like an adventurer constantly exploring in the mysterious fog.

While Sha Duo quickly recorded some of the details of this petrification spell using simple arcane geometric figures, he was also silently analyzing the full picture of the petrification spell constructed by these details in his mind.

…

After a while.

Pork, who was still lying quietly, suddenly let out a scream of "Ah——" and woke up from his deep sleep. Then he frantically hit the connection between the flesh and petrified part of the thigh with his hands. At the same time, his upper body was still struggling to think. Sit up.

Being interrupted so suddenly, the sacred light surging in Bishop Ambril's hand suddenly shrank and almost lost control. Fortunately, the bishop was experienced and calmed Pork in time. Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up. Said to Sha Duo:

"I still underestimated this curse, it's too tricky! I'm going to rest for a while and try again."

After saying that, he sat down on the chair next to him that had not been put away.

Xia Duo just wanted to think about it, so he took out a small table and a tea set, put them down in the open space between the two chairs, and started making tea.

But this time he was not willing to take out the "Bonu Original Leaf". After all, his tea tree had not grown yet, and obtaining it from the elves was very unstable, and he also ran the risk of being traced.

With such a can in stock, even if you just drink it by yourself, it may not last long, so you must save some money.

But even the foreign trade version of "Bonu No. 4" still has a considerable refreshing effect, but after drinking the original leaves of Bonu for so many days, Xia Duo's mouth seemed to have been spoiled, and he only took a shallow sip. After two sips of "Bonu No. 4", he put down the teacup and concentrated entirely on the spell notes in his hand.

Although the form of any spell will be different, the essence is the same. They are all operations on the strings of the magic network, and this unknown petrification spell is no exception.

But whether it can be analyzed and resolved is another matter.

Judging from only part of the information that has been collected, Shado speculates that this petrification spell may be a field-type spell, rather than a spell that targets a single object.

Perhaps a mage facing a single target can cause a local petrification effect, but there is a very obvious difference in structure between field spells and single-target spells.

To say it is a petrification spell, it is better to say it is a "petrification field".

Pork or Jabas accidentally triggered a certain mechanism, and a petrified field appeared there, transforming everything in the field into stone form.

Xia Duo recalled what he had seen in the so-called ruins using detection spells before. There was indeed nothing else there except earth and stone. It seemed that only materials with an earth element tendency could be exempted from this petrification effect.

Thinking of this, Shado immediately stood up and came to the completely petrified Jabbas, and forcibly broke off the petrified dagger from his waist. The break was very clear——

The inside of the dagger sheath is not a metal dagger, but a stone dagger.

This is somewhat beyond Xia Duo's expectations. Is the petrochemical field so powerful that it can even transform metals?

But on the other hand, if you can master the transformation method of metals, wouldn't you be able to generate various metal materials at will?

However, Xia Duo can't think that far yet. Thinking about the conversion efficiency of elemental gems, you know that this generation method must be time-consuming and energy-consuming.

Before there was high-efficiency, cheap energy, this extremely expensive experiment could only be attempted occasionally in the laboratory.

Returning to the petrification field itself, Xia Duo could not yet tell which level of spell it belonged to, but it was definitely higher than level 5. Although he could not observe the deeper structure, through reasonable speculation based on the nature of magic, he was very sure that it was still There is a deeper structure.

But the problem is that from the existing information, it is not possible for Xia Duo to deduce the deep structure of this petrification magic. Even if he can understand all the first five layers of the magic network, it will be difficult to further infer this petrification magic. full details.

This is somewhat similar to the [Identification Technique]. At the level of the magic network that Xia Duo cannot observe, the complexity there is even shallower. It is like knowing all the information of a mobile phone chip, but not knowing all the information of other parts. .

While it is possible to speculate on some of it, it can never be all of it.

If at this time, the mage trying to explore has enough theoretical reserves and spell design experience, he may be able to complete the remaining spell details by himself. In this way, although there may be some subtle differences from the original spell, the general direction is OK Be completely consistent.

As for Xia Duo, a mage with both theory and experience, all he had to do now was collect more information.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the tea cup again, took a sip of the already cold tea, and said to Bishop Ambril: "Bishop, continue?"

"good!"

After resting for a while, Ambril had regained his energy, and while resting, he came up with some new ideas, which made him more confident about this attempt.
