"You guessed it right, the spell network is indeed an upgraded version of the magic lock, more precisely, it is an imitation of the natural magic net that shrouds all planes of the multiverse, artificially creating a weakened and shrunken version of the magic web, the coverage is narrower, and the spell bits cannot be automatically generated, but fortunately, it can store and circulate spell bits like a real magic web, everything in the world' Spell Banks' are all built on the basis of their own spell networks, and our Lighthouse Bank is no exception, if you are interested, you may want to visit the core hub of the spell network with me to Laputa now. André extended an unexpected invitation to Roland.

"The center of the spell network is located in the Great Floating City? You really don't mind if I visit? Roland couldn't contain the surprise in his heart and looked at André in disbelief.

Andre smiled heartily, "Beacon Hill is a member city-state of the 'Far Eastern Royal Court', in the future, the various member states will sooner or later merge into a unified country, and the 'Far Eastern Royal Court' will also be transformed into the 'Kolas Empire' that unifies the entire Far East, you are the future monarch of the empire, what else can you hide?" Knowing the mysteries of the spell network as early as possible will help you make the most of this resource to build the Far East and contribute to the unification war in the future, don't forget, there are still large areas of land north of the Turbidity River that have not yet been liberated, and the fortress of Olevi is still under the control of the Yassanian Empire, and a war that will determine the future of the world of Varess will come sooner or later, and you must prepare against the clock. ”

Roland listened to Andre's advice, and immediately stood in awe, got up and bowed deeply to this far-sighted legendary ** master.

"Thank you for your teachings, I will remember them!"

"Don't be polite to me, let's go." Andre grabbed Roland's hand, and a teleportation circle rose under his feet, and the orange pillar of light rolled up the figures of the two and soared into the sky. A few seconds later, thousands of miles away, in the city-state of Zochiofa, a teleportation circle appeared on the ground of a secret room on the top floor of the large floating city "Laputa", and the figures of Roland and André slowly emerged.

"This is the central control area of the Beacon Mountain spell network." André pointed to the pyramid-shaped building in the center of the hall and introduced it to Roland.

Exhaling slowly, calming his excitement a little, Roland stepped closer to the glowing pyramid. Upon closer inspection, it was confirmed that it was a large quadrangular building made of brass, about thirty feet long, and the surface was engraved with extremely complex spell runes, some like eyes, some like moire, some like animals, and some abstract runes were simply inexplicable, exuding a strong sense of mystery.

With the idea of finding the bottom line, Roland quietly opened the "Pupil of Destiny" and tried to identify the strange and mysterious device in front of him, but he was disappointed.

System Hint: The device has divine protection, you can't detect it!

As if sensing Roland's failed peep, Andre smiled slightly and took the initiative to explain to him: "This pyramid-shaped device is the container that holds the core of the spell network, which we call the 'magic guide base station'. Building a magic network is a project that is a hundred times more ambitious than building a puzzle lock, and the first step is to use the 'Legendary Creation' to build a magic base station, and the magic network will radiate in all directions from here, and the higher the level of the magic base station, the greater the network radiation range. ”

"Sounds a bit like a radio base station on Earth......" Roland thought to himself. Andrei's theory is abstract, but it is easy to understand when compared to the communication networks on Earth.

"Mr. Andre, can you open the shell of the magic guide base station and let me see the mystery inside." Roland asked excitedly.

Andre pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, but not too long, one of the main functions of the magic base station is to limit the radiation intensity of magic power, if you open this barrier and expose it to high-intensity magic for a long time, the flesh and blood of mortals will not be able to withstand it at all, and the physique will be damaged at the least, and the body will die of exhaustion." ”

Roland nodded. The damage caused by magical radiation sounds a lot like nuclear radiation on Earth.

Andre walked up to the magic guide base station, raised his hand and pressed an eyeball-shaped rune, silently activating the spell to lift the base station's shell, and a strange buzzing sound came from inside the brass pyramid. It was as if thousands of wasps were circling inside, deepening Roland's curiosity.

Boom! The magic guide base station shook violently, and with a roar, it suddenly opened, splitting into four large triangular brass walls and hanging in the air, revealing its tightly protected core device in front of Roland.

Roland's eyes opened instinctively at first, and then he was stabbed to tears by the strong light gushing out, and hurriedly raised his hand to cover it, until his eyes adjusted to the sudden increase in light, and then carefully removed his palm and looked at the center of the magic guide base station.

What appeared before his eyes was a glittering, surging cloud, suspended ten feet above the ground and condensing.

Roland approached the cloud and took a closer look, and found that the cloud was composed of countless extremely fine luminous particles.

"See those glowing particles? They are the 'spell bits' contained in the magic guide base station, and the brightness of the particles is strong and weak, representing different levels of spell bits, which are gathered to form a glowing 'magic cloud'," Andre explained to Roland at the right time, "If the 'spell network' is compared to a bank, then the 'magic guide base station' is the bank's vault, and the 'magic cloud' is like all the deposits in the vault. ”

Andrei's description was so vivid and apt that Roland immediately understood how the Spell Bank worked. The glowing clouds he saw in front of him also reminded him of the "electronic cloud" simulated by computer animation, a short popular science video about quantum physics he had seen on the earth, which was clearly like a "magic cloud".

The basic particle spell slots that make up the magic cloud appear to be moving randomly on their own, but the magic cloud as a whole presents a clearly layered probability distribution. For example, particles of different energy levels are in different orbits, and spell slots of different levels are also distributed in different orbits, and the farther away from the center of the magic cloud, the higher the number of rings, which means that the more magic power it contains.

The mystery of the magic base station lies in the fact that its core is infused with divine power, providing a huge centripetal force for the magic cloud, making it condense but not disperse, and can only be distributed around a fixed orbit, and when necessary, the gravitational force is converted into pressure, and the specific spell bit is transported to a specific individual drawer or lender, which is the principle of spell bit lending.

After some comparative thinking in his mind, Roland has a deeper understanding of the "magic cloud", and at the same time, he also feels more and more that the magical world of Varess and the earth based on scientific and technological civilization are not two distinct parallel lines, and there are inextricable similarities between magic and technology on a deeper level.
