072, pocket dimension (2)
"If I were to say that the Pocket Dimension sounds like an upgraded version of the Spatial Ring, a pocket that can hold large items, even constructs and golems, would you think I lack the necessary imagination?"
How to carry the construct and golem with you is something that mages, especially the mages of the enchanted faction, have been troubled by: the enchanted faction corresponds to the creation of constructs and golems, the activation of magic items and the enchantment of weapons, and they do not have attack power, while the constructs and golems with attack power cannot be carried around through the spatial ring, and can only stay in the lair or mage tower as a garrison.
"Be confident, Talos. Confident women are the most beautiful, and confident men are the most attractive, just a little bit away, and you are about to touch the truth. Not my compliment, your perception is really very sharp. ”
"Then do I have the privilege of knowing the truth, confident and beautiful lady?"
Thanks to the excellent education and training of the Nepton family, Talos began to gradually adapt to the rhythm and way of talking to Annistora, and became more comfortable.
"What do you think of summoning spells in the spell faction?"
Annistora didn't answer Talos directly, but asked an irrelevant question.
As a former mage, Talos also has a faction of spells that specialises in it, and is almost identical to Sandra, the water elemental faction that the Sea Clan is best at, and the spell faction.
"A very important part of the spell system, it can increase the caster's combat power for a short time, and it is a good helper for mages like the constructor and the golem. ”
The so-called summoning is to summon magical beasts and magical creatures from other spaces with the help of the power of spells, and drive them to fight.
Spell factions, especially those who specialize in summoning, can pull a considerable number or quality of boosts in a short period of time.
Taking Sandra as an example, with the strength of her legendary mage, there is a certain probability of summoning a water elemental lord from the water elemental plane who also has fifth-order strength, with a duration ranging from one minute to three minutes, depending on the specific situation.
Don't underestimate a minute, for a Water Elemental Lord who is immune to spell damage from the Water Elemental faction and is equivalent to a legendary mage, a minute can already do a lot.
In fact, not only mages, but also "summoning" exists in the magic system, and the Church of Wealth's gold coin summoning is a typical example, when it was attacked by the Illuminati, the Church of Fortune used this magic to summon a two-headed ancient dragon-level brass dragon.
After thinking about it, Talos added, "If I have to find a drawback, it's probably that every summoning technique has a time limit. ”
"Yes, there was a time limit, so the mages worked hard to develop items that could replace summoning, and eventually the Construct and the Golem were born. ”
Structures and golems do not have a time limit, and if damaged, they can be repaired like a machine, but unfortunately nothing in the world is perfect, they have their own flaws and cannot be carried around.
"You can see that you are very knowledgeable about the history of magic. ”
Talos was amazed at Annistora's knowledge of summoning, many magic apprentices didn't necessarily know the background from which the constructs and golems were born, and sitting next to him was a priest.
"Not only that, but I also know why summoning has a time limit. ”
Talos doesn't mind continuing on the topic if Annistola is willing to explain the pocket dimension to him later: "The middle level of the book "Time, Space and Summoning" puts forward several hypotheses about the problem of time constraints, and the current mainstream view is that the distance between the physical plane where the caster is located and the space where the beast responds to the summon and the ...... in the casting process"
Mages who specialize in spells generally know that there are two ways for magical beasts or magical creatures to come from summoning:
The first type is the entity, which has a long existence, and is commonly found in low-level summoning techniques such as bee swarm nuisance, flying insects and beasts, oolong out of holes, and flocks of birds.
These summoned swarms, rats, bats, birds, and cobras often exist in the main material plane themselves, do not have much combat power, and are biological bodies, once they die in battle, they are real death.
- There was once such a post on the magic network, "The young mage was trapped in the pit for twelve days and finally survived, and the secret turned out to be ......", which detailed how a young mage apprentice persevered while being trapped in the pit alone and without food, feeding on summoned rats and snakes, and finally got rescued.
The second type is projection, i.e., inanimate entities that have a strict summoning time limit, and they usually originate from the outer and inner planes.
For example, to summon the Celestial Mount, depending on the strength, you can summon the Celestial Riding Dog, the Celestial Vulture Horse, the Giant Celestial Owl, the Celestial Giant Eagle, the Divine Wyvern, and so on from the Divine Kingdom of the Dragon of Light or the Sky Dragon.
Another example is the Elemental Elder, Elemental Troll, and Elemental Lord, which come from the four elemental planes.
These creatures that respond to the summons are projected, so even if they die in battle, they won't have much effect on the main body.
Speaking of this, Talos suddenly came back to his senses, he stared at Annis Dora, combined with the hints and comments of the female bishop just now, and put forward a very bold hypothesis: "The pocket dimension is related to summoning. ”
"Not bad!" Annistola admitted, "The Pocket Dimension is not a spatial object, as it is a half-dimensional space in itself, captured by the Council of the Nine Rings, and a large number of magical beasts and magical creatures have been placed into it. ”
The half-dimensional space can be artificially attached to the item by the mage, but the requirements are very strict, at least the treasure-level magic items can be carried, the larger the scale of the space, the higher the requirements for the treasure, there is a half-dimensional space inside the Frost Crown, and two members of the Illuminati are still imprisoned.
"We don't know the exact details yet, it could be a fusion with the Tower of Babel, or other treasures preserved from the ancient Arcane Empire. According to estimates, the pocket dimension can radiate the entire Oriental Peninsula with the Eastern Freeport as the center, or even more, which means-"
"This means that mages can summon magical beasts and magical creatures that exist in physical form at any time from the pocket dimension on the Eastern Peninsula without much time limit. ”
It's remarkable, Talos thought, and it's strategically significant.
"And the constructs and the golems. Annistola added, "Once successful, they can also be called on." ”
"Although I don't really understand the principles and methods involved in the pocket dimension, I have to say that this is a pretty remarkable achievement. ”
After a simple shock, Talos immediately regained his composure, he was no longer a mage after all, and the changes in the magical realm had limited impact on him.
He was more concerned about one more thing than this: "I'm glad to know about such a big event in advance, but is it really okay for you to directly reveal the matter of the pocket dimension to me?"
The pocket dimension is related to an important change in the Council of the Nine Rings and even the entire magical world, and the ones who are qualified to know must be the legendary mages of the spell and space factions, and not only that, but the insiders will also sign a confidentiality contract with rigorous logic and detailed terms to eliminate the possibility of being known by outsiders from the source.
In this case, the Cheerful Priest Annistola can still grasp the information in time, and the strength of the Love Church can be seen.
A big smile bloomed on Annistora's face, "What if it makes me happy?"
