Arcane Lord

"Okay, Niya, Rodney's trip has become a foregone conclusion. No matter what I face in the future, I am confident enough to solve it! Don't worry!"

Since Xia Duo said so, Niya also respected Xia Duo's choice, but after the two separated, she couldn't help but contact her teacher to learn more details behind the incident.

However, after sending multiple messages in a row, Niya couldn't help but get a reply from the teacher.

On the other side, Xia Duo, who knew that he was going to Rodney Territory soon, blocked all outside information and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the production of the spell book.

Although there was the princess's guarantee (as conveyed by Greta) that there would be no danger in this mission, Shado had always been unwilling to place his own safety on the guarantees of others.

Even if some of his preparation measures turned out to be useless, he would not change his mind.

In fact, the spell book is not useless. Even if it is not used during Rodney's trip this time, it will still be used in the future.

Moreover, from the description of Archmage Greta, Shado did not find any time limit, that is to say——

Theoretically, he could have agreed first and then kept the appointment after he became the Grand Arcanist.

Although the actual situation makes it impossible for him to do this, Sha Duo has also made up his mind. He will not leave the Tower of Time until he completes the spell book and makes sufficient preparations!

…

Tower of Time, Shado's residence, magic laboratory.

Xia Duo frowned and connected the mithril components corresponding to the last set of element units to the magic network. Before the final actual test could be carried out, he immediately put away the spell book, lay down on the bed and shot [Depth] at himself. sleep].

During this "retreat", Xia Duo discovered another use of spiritual magic, which is to force himself to fall asleep. He does not need to wait or be guided. He falls asleep as soon as he falls asleep, and the effect is outstanding.

He didn't know if others had done this, but when he did it, it felt really good. It was a bit like taking sleeping pills to aid sleep on earth, and it saved a lot of time.

It only takes less than four hours for a [deep sleep] to make him lively and energetic again. The effect is comparable to that of an elf's meditation.

The only difference between the elf meditation and the inability to think while sleeping is probably that if he could, then Shado would no longer have to envy the elves.

After writing down all the feelings after waking up in his notes, Sha Duo returned to the spell laboratory and prepared to conduct several simple tests on the spell book.

The spell book is theoretically quite complete, and the test is mainly to check for possible deviations in the process from the spell design on paper to the physical spell book.

Of course, the possibility of deviation is very small, and it is more a matter of Sha Duo's expectation for his spell book.

…

Taking out the spell book from his portable space, Xia Duo couldn't help but frowned. The color was not good-looking!

Although Xia Duo was not a good-looking person, the fine gold and blue color that could be seen at a glance made him feel very uncomfortable. He always felt that unpainted equipment was a bit inferior.

Fortunately, these are unimportant details and do not affect the actual use of the spell book. The most important thing now is to conduct actual testing.

The first step in the actual test is of course the so-called "synchronization", linking the spell book with itself, and it is also a process of entering permissions. Without this step, the spell book cannot be used at all, unless it is really used as a piece.

"Start-up settings" are not complicated. Xia Duo carefully controls a number of free magic network strings extending from the fixed port of the spell book, and couples them with the magic network strings condensed on the spell book according to certain rules to make sure Final authority.

Then connect some of the extracted "threads" to itself, thus completing the double binding from hardware to software.

In this way, even if this spell book is obtained by someone else, the other party will not be able to unlock it through normal means, unless it can be cracked through step-by-step bridging and substitution, as Shado did before cracking Feld's spell book, and slowly analyzing it.

This is inevitable, just like the decompilation of software on earth, cracking it from the lowest atoms and electrons, no software can withstand it.

Of course, due to the new authority system designed by Shado, the difficulty of cracking his spell book will be far greater than that of Feld's spell book. Limitations are set at almost every step. It will take at least a few years or more than ten years to crack it. .

But that's all he can do. If the spell book is taken away by others, even if others can't crack it in their lifetime, what's the point for Sha Duo himself?

To be honest, if he didn't have the idea that he would rather die than let the enemy feel comfortable, he would not have set up any encryption measures or permission system in the spell book. This completely reduced the energy efficiency of the spell book.

…

After completing the "power-on settings", Xia Duo skillfully activated the spell book, and saw that the magic aura of the spell book suddenly flourished, and then quickly returned to its original state.

At this time, the spell book itself flew up from Xia Duo's hand dexterously. Following the command of Xia Duo's consciousness, the spell book flew up and down around him, quite quickly and sensitively.

After that, Xia Duo once again activated the portable mode of the spell book, and the aura suddenly flourished, and then quickly returned to its original shape, and the spell book shrank into a mini form less than half the size of a palm, and flew to Xia Duo's waist. silver drawstring.

The books are linked together with a special buckle on the strap and hung firmly, just like an ordinary hanging ornament, except that the colors are a bit mismatched.

Xia Duo walked back and forth for a few steps in the magic laboratory and did not feel any obvious falling sensation.

——[Invisible]!

The spell book immediately disappeared from Xia Duo's waist, but also disappeared with a section of the belt around his waist. Xia Duo couldn't help but shook his head when he saw it, seeming quite disappointed.

Although the body of this spell book has become smaller, the invisibility field it comes with has not become smaller, so the flaw has been exposed.

"It's a bit of a mistake!"

Xia Duo slapped his head and regretted it. He should have thought of it earlier. The spell does not change based on the shape of the object.

In layman's terms, the structural characteristics of a spell have already determined the energy level and consumption of the spell in advance. Whether it is made into a spell-generating device the size of a basketball or a ring, it will not change the effect of the spell.

The only limitation is whether the mithril components of the small device can support the flow of so much energy.

Of course, Xia Duo had no problem with this. He tried his best to choose the highest quality mithril found in the Mysterious Ruins, and none of it had been used in previous experiments (if used, the elements would transmute, resulting in a decrease in purity).

It was the best mithril he could find so far.

However, he still ignored the impact of morphological changes.

Sure enough, just feasibility demonstration and testing are not enough. If conditions permit next time, it is best to conduct physical trial production. It is best to have version 1 and version 2 first, and then make it and see.
