Emperor of Arcane

"Out of the water!!"

The shouts one after another quickly spread in all directions.

The adventurers watched the gurgling water flowing happily along the petrified ditch, and suddenly felt that their brains were not enough.

They never expected that water would actually emerge from the Desert of Death.

Before they could wonder about the source of the water, the rushing water quickly increased in volume and spread at an extraordinary speed along the ditch surrounding the town.

The water rushing at the front is relatively turbid, but it gives many adventurers an indescribable feeling of coolness.

Many people even had tears in their eyes and kept mumbling:

"It's a blessing, otherwise I'd always feel like I'm making a fool of myself."

"Wow, wow, there is water in this damn place? Can we take a hot bath?"

"Isn't it convenient to use the cleaning technique? Why do you want to use water so extravagantly?"

"If there is water, we can survive here."

"How much water is there? Could it be that an underground river was dug?"

"Hehe, you must have never imagined that the Bay Territory summons water resources using a magic circle!"

"What the hell? Is it so luxurious?"

"Where is the water here? This is simply flowing gold coins!"

"I really underestimated the Gulf Territory. I thought they would dig a river from the sea at most, but it turned out to be even more exaggerated than I thought."

"Haha, when we meet the Bay Leader, we can be considered as caught."

"According to rumors, the Gulf Territory made hundreds of millions of gold coins through the dragon warrior transformation transaction."

"Even if you make hundreds of millions of gold coins, this is too luxurious."

"Don't think so much, just complete the task quickly!"

"..."

As soon as the rushing water appeared, the desert town immediately became cheerful.

The adventurers began to continue working, and at the same time they were also curious about the next move of the Gulf Territory.

Soon, the water followed the dug ditch and reached the fields next to the village.

The originally dry clay immediately became plump after drinking enough water.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of fertilizer was poured into these farmlands and mixed with the clay.

Hundreds of agricultural golems were busy non-stop, and the surrounding farmland soon changed drastically.

What interests adventurers even more is that the Gulf Territory has a special way of "protecting" these farmlands.

In order to prevent strong winds from blowing mud and sand in, they will build walls four to five meters high every 100 meters.

The wall can weaken the wind and trap the sand and gravel blown by the wind.

Although this method consumes a lot of manpower, it does effectively prevent the surrounding wind and sand from approaching.

What interests the adventurers even more is that more and more golems are being transported to this area.

The Gulf Territory is preparing for major development of this area.

town center.

In the newly built Druid Greenhouse.

Lao Li, who looked calm, watched the tiny poplar trees growing at an alarming rate.

Its branches and leaves do not grow very fast, and there is a layer of hardened cuticle on the surface, which can effectively prevent the loss of water.

The key lies in their roots, which are very developed and can slowly grow to more than ten meters in length.

These tiny rhizomes can accurately find the specially dug water channels below and absorb water from them.

Poplar trees have a very tenacious vitality, and neither high temperature nor severe cold can take away their lives.

A little water allows them to survive in the arid desert.

Broken branches can be used as the characteristics of new saplings, and they can also grow in size quickly.

Of course, these characteristics only allow the poplar tree to have the rudimentary ability to adapt to this desert of death.

How to fight against the destructive power hiding in the desert of death is the key to whether these poplar trees can thrive here.

Lao Li felt the vitality of tens of thousands of seedlings gradually weakening, silently calculating how long they could last.

These tenacious seedlings experienced a hellish living environment.

Dryness, heat, the dangers of a dead desert.

Seeing that their vitality was gradually reduced by half and the life signals began to become weaker, Lao Li waved decisively.

Poof!

Dense fine rain and mist sprinkled down from the top of the greenhouse, soaking into every poplar sapling.

These diluted life essence nutrients were quickly absorbed by these hungry poplar saplings.

Many poplar saplings quickly regained their vitality and continued to grow tenaciously.

But there are still some who failed to persist and gradually withered and withered under the erosion of the destructive power of the Death Desert.

The rain and mist containing the essence of life only sprayed for a minute, and then stopped.

About half of the poplar saplings survived and continued to take root and sprout, absorbing nutrients from the soil.

The druids observing around them could clearly feel it.

The harder the poplar saplings work, the more nutrients they absorb from the soil, and the greater the impact and damage they suffer.

Unknowingly, the destructive power sucked into their bodies will destroy their bodies bit by bit.

Poplar seedlings that cannot withstand the damage from this force will gradually become weak.

This is a painful process, and it is also a process that can be called death.

Watching these poplar seedlings die one by one, the druids will be very uncomfortable.

But they have already made psychological adjustments and regard this as a great career.

And the poplar seedlings that devote themselves to these causes will be respected and loved by them.

This experimental process has lasted for a month.

From the very beginning, the poplar seedlings could not survive for more than a few minutes before they all withered and died.

Now it has gradually grown to more than one meter tall, and it can continue to withstand the erosion of death and the destructive power of the desert. It has made great progress.

The current batch of poplar seedlings that are gradually sprouting and growing young leaves have won the respect and love of all the druids.

They silently recorded data and held a "funeral" for the withered seedlings.

When these poplar seedlings grow to two meters high, they can no longer withstand corrosion and damage, and are about to come to the end of their lives.

The druids would activate the time-stopping device in the greenhouse and cut off the branches of these poplar trees that survived until the last second.

Put them into the nursery that has been prepared for a long time and let them turn into new seedlings again.

New seedlings will grow quickly.

They will become stronger and be able to endure longer under the destructive power of the Death Desert.

Matthew, who was watching the entire experimental process from a distance, could naturally "see" clearly what happened.

The destructive power hidden in the gravel of the Death Desert is an extremely special kind of life radiation.

It has no effect on most living organisms, but is very dangerous to plants.

It seems like they were created specifically to target plants.

The poplar seedlings that have been screened and strengthened at all levels will become stronger through "tempering" again and again.

Essentially, it's like Matthew adds some pressure or a specific environment to the target in order to get some stronger expertise and characteristics.

If he uses the power of destiny, Matthew will soon get a plant that can survive and thrive in the Death Desert.

However, Matthew did not intervene.

This is a task that belongs to the druids of the Gulf Territory, and it is also the first difficulty they try to overcome.

Matthew is willing to exercise their abilities and hopes that they can conquer the restricted area of ​​life in the Desert of Death with their step-by-step efforts.

The difficulties and setbacks encountered will make these young and passionate druids grow up faster.

They have a very heavy task ahead, and the desert of death in front of them is just an appetizer.

January 22nd.

North of the Dead Desert.

Gulf Territory desert towns.

clear.

The adventurers, who were controlling the agricultural golem to soil the desert sands of the Death Desert as usual, suddenly made some surprising discoveries.

On the walls built one after another, there were suddenly some beautiful green figures.

The adventurers took a closer look and discovered that these emerald green figures were actually tall poplar trees.

They looked at the poplar trees swaying in the wind in disbelief.

Seeing them still living very well under the sunlight, I couldn't help but exclaim:

"What happened? How did these aspen trees survive?"

"Hurry up and have a look. Can plants really be grown on the land in the Death Desert?"

"I always feel like something is wrong. It seems like we didn't plant these poplar trees!"

"Stupid, look at the wall, those goblins are taking action."

"Of course I know that the people who planted the trees are goblins, but why can these poplar trees survive?"

"That's right. We have planted almost all plant seeds before, and most of them can't even take root and sprout..."

"We definitely don't know. We have to ask the druids next to the goblins."

"Is it the work of the Druids of the Gulf Territory? They have cast spells to protect these poplar trees?"

"Stupid, how can the protection last for so long? There must have been some modifications to these poplar trees!"

"It's not like no druids have been here. There must have been many modified plants planted, but why did these succeed?"

"How do I know? Why don't I just ask the Druid directly..."

"Don't dare to go. The spell casters in the Bay Territory are very powerful..."

"Coward!"

"..."

The adventurers were having a lively discussion, and they felt more and more motivated for no reason.

Although their daily work was a bit boring, looking at the environment that gradually changed under their transformation along the way, they gradually felt something different in their hearts.

They felt that the dug ditches and farmland in front of them had become their children, about to be reborn.

Everyone seemed particularly happy, and their attitude toward the Gulf Territory gradually began to change.

If the Gulf Leader says something needs to be done, it must be done!

Gradually, adventurers also wanted to see what the Gulf Territory could transform this desert of death into.

There are even some adventurers who have become accustomed to operating agricultural golems or engineering golems every day, and have temporarily given up on the development and adventurous tasks of the ruins.

"It's all about making money anyway. This mission is obviously more stable, and it gives a lot of rewards and achievements, so let's take a closer look first."

There are many adventurers in this group.

The reason that supports them to go on firmly is part of the new policies issued by the Gulf Territory.

"After an adventurer's merit exceeds 100 points, he can enjoy the benefits of learning and training specialties and skills."

With the guidance of many adventurers from the Gulf Territory, the gathered adventurers quickly understood the benefits of these benefits.

Especially when they realize that the Bay Area is offering this training.

Quite a few of them are instructing everyone on how to excavate the ruins in the Death Desert, survive better, and discover more benefits.

Naturally, more and more adventurers stopped to train first.

After all, even a considerable number of Gulf Territory adventurers are receiving training at the academy.

Their strength is very strong, their equipment is very luxurious, and their team configuration is the envy of many adventurers.

Even local snakes like them are obedient, and other adventurers will naturally not be too rash.

However, although the development speed of the Death Desert ruins has slowed down, it does not mean that the Gulf Territory has taken less action.

In particular, the Gulf Territory's transformation of the Death Desert has some special meaning in the eyes of the Cole Elf Scouting Team.

"It's incredible that those poplar trees have really survived..."

"Isn't this nonsense? Even the poplar branches we planted have survived, and they will definitely live better."

"The Bay Leader's movements were so fast. We didn't even leave any traces, and they caught up with us as if we smelled it..."

"Group 42 and Group 31 have been completely wiped out. Those idiots always rely on their own strength to get ahead of themselves. I'm too lazy to collect their bodies."

"I don't dare to go anyway. The Gulf Territory's tactics are becoming more and more ruthless. Starting today, our observation distance will continue to move back 1 kilometer."

"Is it necessary to be so careful? We must understand the purpose of planting these poplar trees in the Gulf Territory as soon as possible, right?"

"If you want to die, you can stay here. Remember to report the information you collected before you die..."

"Ah……"

"..."

The Cole Elf was confused about the actions of the Gulf Territory, but did not attach much importance to the loss of personnel.

Hiding in the secret base, Hess was carefully looking through the transformation technology acquired from the Gulf Territory.

He noticed that the Cole Elf Archmages specifically marked the difficulty of activating and generating the second heart. He involuntarily twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered to himself:

"Can the Archmages only maintain a 65% success rate if they take action personally?"

Hess certainly believed in the conclusion reached by the archmages.

Because he knew how "proud" the archmages were, and when he learned that the Gulf Territory's success rate could maintain "90%," he would definitely use all means to surpass it.

Now it has stopped at 65%, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

Hess didn't care how many experimental subjects the archmages consumed, he only cared about whether the "Dragon Warrior" transformed by Cole Elf himself maintained excellent combat effectiveness.

As a result, Hess couldn't help but frown.

The progress of the archmage's experiment was actually stuck on the second surgery.

"The bone strengthening and reconstruction surgery cannot be completed? Is the mortality rate too high?"

Hess looked through the detailed transformation steps, and his eyes fell on the "bone strengthening" spell activation steps. He couldn't help but reach out and click on the photo crystal that recorded the transformation.

"ah……!"

The shrill scream suddenly penetrated Hess's ears.

The fully stretched experimental subject struggled painfully and kept roaring like a beast.

The life essence and high-quality nutrient solution provided by Bay Collar are indeed effective. The wounds opened by the bones are healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The bone strength of the experimental subjects undergoing surgical transformation is also constantly improving as shown by magic monitoring.

He looked miserable, but Hess could face it very calmly.

But Hess's expression soon changed. Even though he had undergone harsh transformation and training from the Sword Master, he still found it difficult to accept the terrifying scene in front of him.

The archmages worked hard to maintain the skin of the experimental subjects and continuously released various strengthening spells.

Just when the experimental subject was about to reach half of the standard value for the completion of the experiment, the bones that had been continuously strengthening suddenly broke apart inch by inch.

His entire body instantly became uncanny.

What's even worse is that the recovery and repair spells maintained on the experimental subjects are still functioning.

Those broken bones and tissues quickly begin to heal...

Hess turned off the screen and forced himself to shift his attention, focusing on the experimental evaluations and data of the archmages.

"The experiment is designed very cleverly, and there is a great possibility of completing the experiment."

"These reconstructive surgeries have excellent designs and have very significant reference value."

"The experimental process is not missing, but the crucial experimental conditions are definitely missing..."

"The Gulf Territory must have concealed some data and key information, and it must be found out as soon as possible."

"In the process of using El elves as experimental carriers, bone fractures will inevitably occur..."

"It is recommended to change the experimental subjects and use some Japanese pirates as experimental subjects..."

"When the experimental subjects who underwent surgical transformation from the Gulf Territory return, we can then use the time retrieval spell to perform reverse analysis on them..."

"It is recommended to look for the experimental base in the Gulf Territory and conduct a raid on it to obtain more experimental data and information."

"It is recommended to arrest the leading warrior of the Gulf..."

"..."

From these conclusions, Hess can know that the Gulf Territory really hid a lot in this transaction.

As for the "proposals" given by the Archmage, Hess, who had witnessed the feat of the Gulf's leading dragon warriors defeating tens of thousands of troops by one thousand, had no idea of ​​using force to solve them.

"Unless these archmages take action personally, they will rely on the cooperation of other professions, unless they are willing to dispatch the guards of various tribes..."

As for the Gulf Territory hiding crucial information, Hess was not surprised at all.

During the transaction, he could sense that the Gulf Territory had understood the object of the transaction.

Especially when the Gulf Territory asked for trading techniques from the Cole Elf Kingdom, they barely mentioned it to them by name.

Thinking of this, Hess immediately said to his subordinates:

"Inform those chessmen who are ambushing Bay City to monitor large-scale magic fluctuations at all times!"

Although Hess didn't understand why the Gulf Territory agreed to use Dragon Warrior's transformation technology in exchange for many technologies including mystery lock technology, space spell materials, life spell materials, etc.

But he never believed that the Gulf Council was so calm and did not test these "problematic" technologies and data.

Staying behind, the Cole elves have begun to advance since they taught the spellcasters of Netheril thousands of years ago.

Otherwise, the spellcasters of the Netheril Empire, especially the arcanists, are obviously very powerful, but they can never defeat the high mages of the Kor elves.

There is something fundamentally wrong!

Of course, the emergence of the Grand Arcanist completely changed this.

Otherwise, how could the Elf Kingdom of Cole, which was confident of completely controlling the Netheril Empire, prepare so many "surprises" for them alone?

Bay City.

Underground Mage Tower.

In the Advanced Magic Laboratory.

Matthew carefully felt the rhythm of the magic network, and carefully used his mana to pull the small nodes of the magic network little by little.

With the injection of part of the mana and magic power, the found magic network nodes began to emit bright light.

Several tiny threads appeared from around the magic network nodes.

Matthew could clearly feel that those extremely fine threads were slowly transmitting magic power.

This extremely subtle and deep touch is an unprecedented observation angle for Matthew.

However, Matthew soon discovered that this kind of observation had quite a few drawbacks and prerequisites.

The perception of magic power must be keen, and the control of mana value must be subtle enough.

The outlined magic thread must be able to obey the control of his thinking and consciousness.

These conditions are quite harsh, just like the transformation surgery materials Matthew traded to the Cole Elf Kingdom.

There was absolutely no problem with the transformation surgery process. Even the activation and use of the spells were clearly marked by Matthew.

However, the process of reconstructive surgery is only as important as 20% of the entire reconstructive surgery.

Something more core.

These are various preparations before the transformation of the experimental body.

Matthew and Yaya went back in time countless times to summarize and accumulate the pauses between adjustments and experiments!

Without these two things, even if the legendary spell caster took action, Matthew believed that they would never be able to figure out the complete experimental process without five or six years.

Not to mention improving and transforming the transformation experiments with high effectiveness, high success rate, and high safety.

After gathering his thoughts, Matthew continued to look at the construction technology of the lock.

He did not look through those advanced and mysterious materials, but focused on the basic knowledge.

Matthew knows very well that the more basic things are, the more important they are.

If you want to take shortcuts, you will inevitably fall into the trap set by others.

Matthew now feels as if he is using a microscope to observe the cell structure of an onion for the first time.

I saw the depths of magic being cast.

He slowly transferred the mana, and then very slowly activated the spell model of the light spell.

Then, he saw a scene that made him extremely happy.

The magic network node that absorbed more mana spread out several threads, two of which lit up, activating the other two surrounding magic network nodes.

As a result, the three connected magic network nodes outline more magic threads, which change rapidly in the middle of the nodes.

They gradually change into the structure of the spell model produced by the light spell.

Then, an amount of magic power dozens of times greater than before was extracted from the three magic network nodes.

The light blooms!

The continuous effect of the spell disappeared, and Matthew could clearly "see" that the nodes of the magic network, which had been drained of a large amount of magic power, fell into a brief period of decay.

And the silk threads woven into the spell model became a mess because they carried a lot of magic power.

However, they have very strong self-recovery capabilities.

In just a few breaths, the complex and dense magic threads gradually returned to normal.

Even the magic network nodes that had just decayed had regained their brightness after being replenished with unknown energy.

Seeing the entire process of the spell "happening", Matthew immediately realized it.

The emergence of spells comes from the activation of magic network nodes and the regular formation of magic network threads.

For ordinary spellcasters, they record spells in their spell slots one by one every day.

When you want to release a spell, you activate the spell model in your body through gestures and spell activation, thereby guiding the magic network nodes and magic network threads to be arranged according to the spell model.

Thereby releasing the spell completely!

The reasons for the failure of spell release can also be found from several aspects.

The first is that the "activation" of the self-spell model fails, and gestures and spells can have an impact.

Second, there are fluctuations and interference in the surrounding magic network environment, which hinders the magic network nodes and threads from constructing a mana model.

Third, there is a problem with the surrounding magic network, and the magic network nodes and threads cannot work.

It felt like Matthew was playing with a computer.

Ordinary mages and other spellcasters simply use various programs.

Arcanists can create various programs.

The Grand Arcanist is probably the programmer who typed various source codes.

However, there is obviously a deeper meaning to how the Magic Network came about, as well as the huge Magic Network that connects the entire material plane, and the peculiarity of the nodes and threads of the Magic Network that are everywhere.

Matthew is basically certain that the birth of the Magic Network, just like the emergence of the extraordinary system, has very profound and special characteristics.

Just like the water and life forms in the original world!

Among so many planets, only the earth has life, which is extremely special in itself.

Shaking his head slightly, Matthew reorganized his thoughts, quickly calmed down, and "carefully" felt the magic network nodes everywhere around him.

With an intelligence of up to 39 points, he can clearly feel the rhythm of these magic network nodes.

Matthew even had a special feeling.

If his observation and exploration abilities go further, he will be able to pass through the disguised form of the magic network nodes and observe the deeper nature.

That should belong to the domain of the Grand Arcanist!

Even though Matthew can't see through it now, that doesn't mean he can't take advantage of them.

This is just like some of the laws of physics and chemistry that you mastered when you studied physics and chemistry. You can use them directly.

What Matthew has to do now is to pick out two magic network nodes and carefully use mana threads to cut off other magic network threads around them.

There are only two magic network nodes left connected by one in the middle.

As a result, the threads in the middle of the magic network nodes began to become larger and larger, and gradually caused a quite obvious repulsion to the surroundings.

This is equivalent to its volume expanding, squeezing the space for other threads to generate.

However, new magic network threads soon began to form around these two magic network nodes.

However, because the magic network nodes are connected to each other, energy is still being transmitted continuously.

Most of them were absorbed by the larger magic web threads, maintaining their huge size and inhibiting the subsequent growth of other threads.

At this point, the "individual" connection of the two magic network nodes is completed.

In a sense, these two little things were temporarily disconnected.

What they disconnected is the external area network, and the deeper network system still connects them.

Therefore, they can still continuously output magic power.

Such a special small structure makes Matthew feel like it is the first time that humans have stored electricity, giving him a very special sense of accomplishment.

This is the basis of mystery lock technology!

Mysterious lock node!

The reason why they are called mystery locks is because multiple such independent mystery nodes are connected together.

It can form an internal area network that is not connected to the outer magic network!

The frequency of the fluctuations of the internal threads of the regional network and the direction of the transmission of magic power are only understood by the builder who built this regional network.

Therefore, by regularly mobilizing changes within the regional network, you can prevent others from exploiting the threads and magic of the regional network.

By restricting others from connecting mana models to magic network nodes, the purpose of banning magic can be achieved.

This is the basic function of the mystery lock!

By building an internally controlled magic network area to restrict enemy spellcasters from entering and fighting.

Naturally, My Lock also has many important functions.

For example, since this is a magic network system that has figured out the rules and has sufficient magic power.

Then you can mobilize the power and concentrate on the release of spells, thus increasing the power of the spells.

You can also set more changes to the Mystery Lock to give it the function of resisting the entry of other spells (magic fluctuations and effects).

In a sense, the use of myth lock technology represents the caster's research into the nature of magic and has delved into a deeper level.

Now that Matthew has mastered the basic composition of the Mystery Lock, he can start to learn and build the Gulf Territory's own Mystery Lock project.

After thoroughly studying the formation of the Mystic Lock, Matthew will try his best to research the technology to crack the Miso.

After all, the reason why Matthew slowed down the attack of the gray dwarves and half-elf slaves in the Canterlot Mountains on the Cole Elf City was because he was afraid of the mysterious lock in the center of the opponent's city.

Without the help of spellcasters, it would be very difficult to first break through a large city with complete defenses.

Of course, it will take quite a while for Matthew to master this technology proficiently and quickly apply and research it.

During this period, the Gulf Territory must continue to develop at a high speed and continue to attract the attention of the Cole elves.

Matthew is developing in secret, constantly providing new impetus for the Bay Territory to move forward!

Only in this way can the Gulf Territory and Matthew continue to grow and break through the oppression of Cole Elf, thereby accomplishing what Matthew has always wanted to do.

Destroy the Kol elves in advance before the natural disaster destroys them!
