Arcane Lord

The sudden arrival of Princess Shia immediately caused quite a commotion in the square.

When the few pioneers who were still lagging behind saw this, they immediately put down their reserve and jogged all the way to the center of the square, blending into the crowd. The scene was really embarrassing.

Of course, this little incident didn't bother Shia at all. She took a quick look at the crowd, and when she saw that the pioneers were all here, she nodded slightly to Greta.

Greta understood immediately and said to everyone: "Her Royal Highness the Princess personally inspected your rehearsals and asked you to show your best!"

After saying that, he stepped aside and signaled the rehearsal to begin.

…

Apart from the pioneers, other participants in the Green Plane War have long since left this demiplane, so this preview started with a commendation ceremony.

After previous solo rehearsals and more formal group rehearsals, the pioneers were already familiar with the ritual process.

The rehearsal is going on in an orderly manner and everything appears normal.

But Xia Duo didn't think so. If it was just for proficiency, then when I practiced with others in a group before, it would be better if I practiced it a few more times!

Is it worth keeping the pioneers?

Not to mention that the princess is here in person. The official New Year celebration is only a few days away. Do you really have that much time?

Before it was his turn, Xia Duo secretly looked at the princess, and he looked at her with magical vision in a focused state.

This is something unusual!

The princess is not as quiet as she appears. She is not inspecting, but performing some kind of special magic.

With her as the center, a miniature magic network is gradually unfolding and gradually fitting into the normal magic network environment of the outside world. But if it is just like this, then it is nothing more. It is just a way for the arcane fire to unfold.

However, the surrounding magic network has undergone subtle changes. This change is difficult to see with the naked eye, but Xia Duo's intuition is that there has been a change.

For Xia Duo, who can interpret subconscious information, intuition is also a kind of information that can be traced back. However, now he is in the process of rehearsing and needs to maintain his attention to the outside world and cannot devote himself to analysis.

But basic tracing is still possible. He carefully recalled this intuitive feeling and traced the specific source of this intuition bit by bit.

"By the way, the boundless wilderness!" Xia Duo was shocked.

He thought about his wonderful trip to a foreign land not long ago. In that boundless wilderness, the magic network also changed in such subtle ways. It was so different from the normal magic network environment that it was difficult to see the difference.

The reason for this is that the normal Magic Network environment itself is in a state of constant change. However, although this change does not show any obvious rules, overall, it is relatively stable.

This changing state is also called the background fluctuation of the magic network.

The so-called [Magic Network Background Communication] utilizes the spontaneous changing state of the Magic Network. As long as this background fluctuation does not change significantly, messages can be transmitted to almost infinite distances.

After completing the basic course at the princess, Niya chose the research direction of magic network background fluctuation analysis. As you can imagine, this is actually a relatively unknown frontier field.

Of course, any change must be detected if it exists.

Even changes in changes are okay.

But this took time. In the boundless wilderness at that time, the frequency of changes in the background fluctuations of the Magic Network obviously exceeded the frequency of Xia Duo's detection.

Every time he started to test a little bit, it would change again later, and then all the previous efforts would be in vain.

If there are more people, or if the detection efficiency is improved, it may be possible to find the similarities and differences between the magic network in the boundless wilderness and the main plane.

And now, Xia Duo once again saw the subtle changes in the background fluctuations of the magic network. How could he not be shocked by this!

But now that he was in the rehearsal, it was impossible for him to stop and check the status of the magic network.

…

Xia Duo did not dare to keep his eyes on the princess for long, and quickly turned to observe other people, but he did not think that other people could also see such an abnormality.

Even the only archmage among the pioneers, his expression was as usual at the moment, without any movement, and he didn't even make any eye contact with the others.

Of course, it could also be that the person in the city was deep and found out but didn't show it.

As for the others, there were only a few high-level mages, so it was even less likely that they would find any abnormalities.

Xia Duo felt that he might have discovered the real secret of the New Year's celebration. Of course, it was not necessarily how scared he was.

Any magic that wants to have actual effects must be attributed to a specific combination of magic network strings, and this degree of distortion is difficult to hide in the background fluctuations of the magic network.

For example, if you want to kill a bacterium, no matter how many surgeries you perform on a macroscopic level, it is meaningless. In the end, you still need to rely on specific drug molecules or antibodies secreted by immune cells.

From the perspective of bacteria, it is difficult to hide this level of movement.

It is similar when used in myth locks. Some myth locks can be disguised as normal magic nets. Normal magic vision cannot see any abnormalities, but when the effect occurs, the relevant magic net strings must undergo changes that far exceed the background fluctuations.

At that time, the caster can adapt accordingly.

Of course, whether you can resist or escape is another matter.

Xia Duo was confident that he could at least escape into the portable space, but in fact, even if the princess had any ill intentions at the New Year celebration, it would not be revealed during the rehearsal.

Not to mention, if the princess wants to overturn her past behavior and go crazy at the New Year celebration, the probability is not much greater than choking to death.

Compared with the delusion of being persecuted, Xia Duo is more curious about the use of this special magic that has not yet shown specific effects!

Just as he was constantly observing the surrounding magic network and thinking, Greta suddenly called his name - "The land pioneered by the brave men of the Southern Territory, the Great Xia Territory, Lord Xia Duo!"

Coming to me so soon?

Xia Duo felt nervous. According to the process, he was the last one and the one with the biggest role, but he didn't expect that it would be his turn so soon!

He quickly calmed down his messy thoughts, followed the celebration procedures, walked out of the queue, came to the side of the princess, turned to face everyone, and began to accept the commendation.

If it were a formal celebration, there would be countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the square, but now there were only dozens of pioneers and Greta present.

As for the princess, she naturally faces everyone and will not deliberately stare at Xia Duo.

Otherwise, Xia Duo was really under a lot of pressure, especially when he was close to the princess, he could clearly feel the mysterious fluctuations centered on the princess's miniature magic network and spreading outward.

This made him want to delve deeper, but these mysterious fluctuations were not obvious among the background fluctuations of the magic network. If it weren't for Xia Duo's preconception, he also had arcane fire and was very familiar with the micro-magic network.

Otherwise, even if you are so close, you may not notice it!
