Chapter 102: Forbidden Stone
Associate Professor Hobart then began testing the by-product props.
This by-product item is an accidental product, but its direct power is even more aggressive than a real time-based magic item.
Since there is only one such item now, Hobert uses it on several magic test items that he has prepared at the same time. Doing so will result in a significant reduction in its duration, but it is a simple test and does not require much duration.
To the surprise of both Ciri and Hobert, all of the tools used in the test, regardless of quality, were severely and permanently damaged by the by-product. There is a magic prop in the test prop that is specially used to test the invention of the associate professor level, and it stands to reason that the offensive magic prop of the associate professor level academic mage will not completely scrap this test tool, but this by-product does this.
Other test props with relatively low level and mass directly exploded. Some of the more mature and good quality magic items will be severely corroded and scrapped. The only well-preserved artifact used for the associate professor's test was also corroded to a certain extent, and the internal energy transmission route was devastated, as if a large amount of energy was directly impacting it internally at the same time, causing energy to overflow, thus destroying the internal structure.
It stands to reason that this phenomenon should not happen, because although the [Time Acceleration Technique] will speed up the short-term energy running speed of the magic item, this acceleration is integral, and at most it will shorten its service life, which is equivalent to using it for a while longer, and it will definitely not cause this kind of damage.
Ciri was very sorry for damaging one of Associate Professor Hobert's high-level magic items during the test, but Hobart himself didn't care about it, he had been studying the damaged magic items, and although it didn't work out, he was a little happy.
In the end, Associate Professor Hobart didn't mention any compensation, but placed an order for time-based magic items with Ciri: Hobart would directly pay Ciri 50 copies of the Tree King Mujing materials, and Ciri only needed to give him three copies of the magic props that Ciri had been treating as a by-product.
After such an obvious hint from Hobert, Ciri also reacted, as if this by-product did have a greater effect. At this point in the development of the Colin plane, magic items have become an important part of a mage's strength, and many magic items will dramatically amplify the user's strength, causing the user's strength to double or even more exaggerated. This is especially true for academic mages.
Because of their lack of combat awareness, academic mages often use wealth to buy foreign objects to strengthen their personal strength. If all of their magic items were disabled and destroyed, it would undoubtedly reduce the strength of the academic mages by half or more. The effect of this similar rule-change is undoubtedly more terrifying than simply increasing or decreasing abilities, and based on the current by-product effect, it is likely that his destruction of all magic items and equipment will be permanent and irreversible.
In this way, even if the opponent escapes, it will take a long time and a lot of energy to regain his original strength. For some guys who rely on the only powerful magic props, this kind of time-type magic prop by-product that has a great effect on magic items and equipment is a terrifying existence, once encountered, it will definitely be unforgettable for a lifetime, and most of them are likely to collapse from now on.
Aware of the horror of this by-product, Ciri decided not to sell this kind of magic item to the outside world as much as possible, because if this terrible magic item was used on a large scale, he, the inventor, would definitely not have any good fruit to eat. As long as he doesn't sell them in large quantities, it doesn't matter if Ciri carries some of them with him, and it is understandable to defeat his opponents with the magic items he has researched and invented, and no one can blame him in this regard.
The magic prop that can release the [Half-Time Acceleration Technique] is relatively close to the sphere after it is formed, and Ciri named this kind of prop [Imperial Time Acceleration Magic Sphere], and the extremely terrifying by-product magic prop was named the [Forbidden Stone] by Ciri because of its crystal-like shape after molding and the characteristics of prohibiting the use of all foreign equipment.
50 servings of Tree King Mu Jing are enough for Xi Rui to toss for a long time. Due to the esoteric and complex nature of chronology, Ciri has no possibility of finding someone to make the OEM now, so she can only complete these production tasks one by one. These 50 copies of the Tree King Mu Jing Xirui plan to give Hobert three copies of the [Forbidden Stone], half of the remaining materials will be used to make the [Imperial Time Acceleration Orb], and the other half will be used to make the [Forbidden Stone].
The [Imperial Time Acceleration Orb] and the [Forbidden Stone] are extremely powerful one-time time-type magic items, which will consume the huge amount of magic stored in the Tree King Wood Crystal after just one use, and at the same time cause irreversible changes to the properties of the material itself, even if it is recharged, it will not be able to release the spells in it again.
It is impossible for this kind of props to be produced in large quantities, and Xi Rui created two things at once, making him almost invincible among mages with the same level of personal strength, even if he is an archmage who is one level higher than him, he has the power to fight, but he is obviously offensive and supportive, and his protective ability is basically defenseless if he does not have this special robe on his body. If you really want to compete with the archmage, if the battle lasts too long, Ciri will die an ugly death.
[Imperial Time Acceleration Sphere] can last for up to ten minutes according to the different quality of the acceleration target and the degree of acceleration;Although the duration of the effect can be regarded as permanent, the range of action is not small, and there is no problem with completely banning all the equipment and props of a mage, but this thing is easy to be targeted, after Associate Professor Hobert's inference, [Forbidden Stone] It has no effect on the enemy's own magic and spells, and the archmage is enough to blast Ciri to slag with his own spells, and that special robe can make Ciri basically invincible for a short time, but once the energy stored in it is consumed, the recovery is calculated in days, and it cannot be counted on in a short time.
Judging from all of the above, Ciri belongs to the typical academic mage who has a strong outburst and a weak ability to sustain combat. His continuous attack and protection capabilities are compensated for by the new [Logical Sequence] work that is still under development and has not been completed. This new work, Ciri, intends to name it "Bastion", and the name suggests that this work has a strong ability to sustain combat, and Ciri has always had high hopes for it.
Although the experience of that unusual "vanity" a few years ago had a great impact on Xi Rui's experimental research and life, it was not without benefits. After experiencing "Delusion", Ciri clearly felt that his time and space talent had been enhanced at the same time. Talent is something that can't be measured concretely, but the impact on oneself is very obvious. Ciri can already vaguely perceive the temporal reflection of some things, as mentioned in chronological sources: everything has its own temporal image, and the temporal reflection exists in the world but is independent of the world.
When Ciri can clearly feel the temporal reflection of most things, he will be able to learn the [Time and Space Summoning Technique] left by his predecessors and become a true orthodox summoning mage.
