Arcane Lord

Bishop Ambril once again tried to expel the "curse" from Pork, while Shado took the opportunity to continue observing the details of the petrification spell that was stimulated by the bishop's holy power.

"Huh--"

Sha Duo, who was observing and recording, suddenly discovered that the petrification spell on Pork was rapidly disintegrating, like the threads were peeling off the cocoon, or the bottom layer of the building blocks was removed, and then the whole thing quickly fell over and fell apart.

On the material level, the petrified part of Pork's lower body and the petrified clothes suddenly erupted with a strong wave of elements, and then quickly returned to their original form, either flesh and blood, cloth, or leather.

"The curse has been lifted?" Xia Duo asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's lifted!" Ambril replied, wiping his sweat. "Fortunately, it was lifted early. If it had been longer, he would never have been able to recover."

"What about Jabas? He is completely petrified. Can he be saved?"

"It should be fine. I'll take a break and try again."

As he was talking, Pork, who was lying on the ground, suddenly muttered and turned over. In response, Ambril explained: "He suffered a lot of mental pain and needs to have a good sleep. When he wakes up, Come and fully recover.”

After saying that, he sat down and rested.

But this time Bishop Ambril took a rest, but Shado did not. He was just observing and recording, but there was nothing to rest for. Now Bishop Ambril seems to have found a way to remove the petrification magic. He must collect the information before the magic is removed. All the information received has been collected.

Although the petrified field over the ruins may be triggered again, no one can guarantee it. Maybe it is a one-time trap!

After all, it is a relic, and it is still a very long time ago. It is not easy to retain the effect of a spell even if time goes by endlessly. If he wants to be able to trigger it continuously, Xia Duo basically has a lot of hope.

Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Xia Duo still thinks it's better to play it safe. In the past, the arcanist of [Hidden Hand] was so secretive about the [Transform Mud to Stone] spell that he was not even willing to make a deal. Now that there is a similar spell, how could he let it go? .

Not to mention that this may involve the universal principle of material transformation, the mere fact that it can transform stone is enough to make him excited.

So Chateau walked to the petrified statue of Jabas, imitated Bishop Ambril, and stretched his hand near the petrified body surface of Jabas.

The arcane energy flowed, spread out from the palm of his hand, and penetrated towards Jabas. This was the first time for Shado to use this form of detection method. Before today, he didn't know that arcana energy could be used in this way.

In other words, arcanists do not use arcana in this way. Most of them just regard arcana as an ordinary energy for casting spells. Without arcana, they can directly connect to the magic network to absorb energy, or use gems. There is not much difference between them. big difference.

The performance of a spell has nothing to do with the energy used behind it. It is only related to the "blueprint" of constructing and weaving the spell. The so-called blueprint is actually the design level of the spell.

This is the principle of magic, the essence of magic.

The holy power is the foundation for the clergy to settle down and live their lives. The clergy spends his whole life sensing the inner part of the holy power in order to get closer to the essence of God he pursues.

Two completely different attitudes have also created different attitudes and even different uses of the energy they possess.

…

Blue light visible to the naked eye bloomed from Shado's palm and stirred up, but the fact is that his operation failed to "shake" the magic network, or it failed to stimulate the petrification magic on Jabas.

"It seems that mere imitation has no effect!" Sha Duo thought to himself, he had not yet realized the difference between arcane energy and holy power.

Ambril, who was drinking tea and resting aside, saw Sha Duo's actions and couldn't help but reveal a hint of amusement in his eyes. If he could be imitated so easily, then his decades of life would have been in vain.

And Sha Duo also quickly realized that although arcane energy is somewhat similar to holy power, it is not the same existence after all. He should use the inherent properties of arcana energy.

What are the properties of arcane energy? In addition to serving as a consumable energy source for spellcasting, the arcana energy generated from arcane fire naturally has some of the properties of arcane fire.

The essence of arcane fire is a bunch of magic web strings that have been torn apart, separated and rewoven according to specific rules. Therefore, arcana actually has a certain ability to simulate the magic web strings.

When arcanists cast spells, in addition to ordinary mages directly manipulating the magic network to cast spells, they can also cast spells with arcane energy, relying on the properties of arcane energy to simulate the strings of the magic network.

A more common approach is to expand the arcane fire to form a miniature magic network, and then operate this miniature magic network exclusive to the arcanist to generate spells.

However, Xia Duo has just advanced to the level of arcanist not long ago, and the new arcane fire is not enough for him to expand it to cast spells, but he is no stranger to arcane spellcasting.

In other words, this is a basic skill that any arcanist should master. If you can't even cast arcane spells, how can you call yourself an arcanist?

After changing his mind, Xia Duo quickly transformed part of the arcane energy into a form, highlighting the properties of the simulated magic web string, and fitting it with the original magic web string in the external environment, and began to resonate and vibrate.

This was the first time for Shado to try this, but the effect was surprisingly good. Part of the magic network that originally enveloped Jabas was immediately stimulated. The magic network environment that was originally very normal and had no abnormalities with other locations quickly Something has changed.

Some inner complex structures were suddenly unfolded in front of Sha Duo!

It turns out that the normal performance is just the delicate structure of the petrification spell that disguises it like that!

But despite this, Shado still did not try to remove the petrification magic on his own. Pork, who had just been able to practice, is now healed, while Jabas was completely petrified. He did not want to lose a capable subordinate because of his rash attempt. , it is better to leave it to professionals.

…

In this way, while Sha Duo slightly stimulated the manifestation of petrification magic, he recorded it in his spell notes. After a while, he recorded all the known details.

Only then did he put away his notes and said to Bishop Ambril: "Bishop, please help him get rid of the curse!"

"good!"

Regarding Sha Duo's operation just now, Ambril didn't ask any questions and immediately agreed.

…

Although the subsequent rescue efforts took several attempts and several twists and turns, they all passed without incident. After the last attempt, Jabas quickly recovered from his petrified state.

But due to his original action, he suddenly jumped forward, just in time to pounce on Bo Ke who was still lying on the ground, which fulfilled his last thought before being petrified.
