Ten days later, according to Mike, the positioning jewelry was made and ready for "normal use."

"Master, isn't this a little too ......" Chief Mage Nimes left a spiritual imprint in the jewel according to the method Mike said, and after carefully perceiving the target the jewel was pointing to, he couldn't help but hesitate a little.

After the Taysren Mistress sensed it in the same way, she couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Ahem, that's the basic function, it's true, but because there are too many people involved, the proficiency is uneven, and there are certain problems in cooperation and experience, resulting in the quality of jewelry is not as expected. In addition, the volume is too small, and the function is naturally weaker. Mike was a little embarrassed. The spherical positioning "point" given by the positioning jewelry is more than one kilometer in diameter, and if the guidance circle is at this level, it will definitely connect people to the stone at once.

"The circle we are going to build, under normal circumstances, should not be more than 5 meters in diameter. According to the memory of the Grand Arcanist, the diameter of the positioning point of this positioning jewel should be 5 meters, and the magic circle should be 1 meter, but now that this situation is happening, Mike doesn't dare to talk too much, "But don't worry about the details, let's check that the function is not normal." ”

"Well, well. Chief Mage Nimes grimaced, but began to prepare for the test.

According to Mike's previous statement, the diameter of this positioning jewelry positioning point should be five meters, and the positioning distance should be 100 kilometers. The test project is that Chief Mage of Nimes travels with his family caravan to trade in a neighboring city to see if he can contact the Locate Jewel there, and if he can, try to return to Faturi with the Shadow Travel Spell. If it weren't for the fact that there wasn't much danger even if the location jewel wasn't available or couldn't be positioned accurately, Chief Mage of Nimes would categorically not agree to experiment when the actual indicators were so far from the design goals.

Shadow Travel is a Tier 6 arcane that allows spellcasters and some willing creatures to enter the main plane at the junction with its shadow plane. There, they are free to choose to enter the shadow plane, return to the main plane, or "glide" along the main plane. Due to the nature of the plane junction, it is possible to travel from one kilometer to one hundred kilometers in the main plane, so it can be used for fast travel, but it is also almost impossible to determine the distance you have traveled, so this spell is not very practical to travel, and is more used as a means to enter the shadow plane from the main plane.

However, if there are suitable positioning coordinates on the main plane, such as positioning the circle, although shadow travel is still far less convenient than the fifth-order teleportation technique, it is still a travel option, and it is worth using in the underground world where the teleportation technique cannot be used normally due to interference. It's just that the 6th order spell is more demanding, and it is easy to get lost by quickly "sliding" along the labyrinthine underground passage, so it has not been promoted.

Speaking of shadow travel, it is impossible not to mention Shado, who created this spell, and the Netherworld under his command, as well as the Cataclysm and the collapse of the Ancient Nether Empire.

About 2,000 years ago, the Grand Arcanist of the Ancient Nesser Empire, Xia Do, and his scientific research team theorized that the main plane, the plane where the Ancient Nesser Empire where Mike had been staying, should have a shadow plane, and discovered it through exploration, which was later known as the shadow plane.

There, the Grand Arcanists made many valuable discoveries, the most important and far-reaching of which were shadow matter and shadow mana. As a result, the Grand Arcanist Council made a decision to set up a scientific research team led by Xia Duo to secretly carry out the development of the fourteenth generation of the magic net, that is, the shadow demon network, in the shadow plane, and the scientific research base was later the Yin Ghost City.

At that time, the magic net used by the Grand Arcanists was the same as the current magic web, the full name was the "Eighth Generation Panplane Subspace Self-Growing Energy Storage Weapon", officially known as Mithriel, and its basic function was to collect and store energy, in a standard format and strength for Imperial mages to call in some way, and there were many other advanced functions known or unknown.

"The elite of the magic elite of my grand arcane empire" believes that the eighth generation magic net is too backward to even do identification, so it has always wanted to be updated. It's just that the eighth generation of the magic net has long been out of control in many aspects, and infinite growth is one of them, which has led to the suppression of the subsequent generations of the magic net, basically unable to store energy, and there is no way to grow independently, making the renewal of the magic net impossible at all. It wasn't until the discovery of new shadow matter and shadow mana that "the elite of the magical elite of my great arcane empire" saw the dawn of the renewal of the magic web.

The Xia Duo team lived up to expectations and developed a more advanced and comprehensive fourteenth generation of the Magic Net, also known as the Shadow Demon Net, officially known as Shahr.

After a long period of growth and testing, the Grand Arcanists believe that although the Shadow Demon Net was partially suppressed by the Demon Net because of the late attack, it could not absorb energy other than the shadow mana, and was at a disadvantage in terms of energy, but it was good enough and comprehensive enough, and it was time to destroy the Eighth Generation Demon Net to achieve a complete renewal.

So, under the leadership of the most powerful arcanist, Karthas, the Grand Arcanists developed a spell, "Incarnation of Kartha", which was declared to be to face the Demon Aoi of Ferrin.

However, at the critical moment, the celestial liars worshipping by the false gods and their pseudo-gods, the mischievous purgatory villains and their masters, as well as the chaotic bull ghosts and snake gods such as the Demon Kui jumped out to make trouble at the same time, and the empire also produced a few traitors, which not only caused the magic net to not be completely destroyed, but also caused a part of the magical energy that should have been bombarded in the bottomless abyss of Heaven Mountain and other evil lairs to the main plane.

The result was a cataclysm.

The Cataclysm and the resulting magic failures have destroyed almost all of the Floating Cities of the Ancient Nethor Empire, with the exception of Shador's Ghost City, which is said to have been hijacked by the false god Suren, but this information has not yet been confirmed.

Before the destruction of the eighth generation of magic nets, the Grand Arcanists considered the possible risks of scientific research, and directed an assassination. Shado, who was "killed in an assassination", went to the Shadow Plane under the alias of Teramant Tanshur to carry out the Vault Project.

Unfortunately, although the vault of the Shadow City has been in the shadow plane, so it was slightly affected by the cataclysm, but both the Demon Net and the Shadow Demon Net were severely damaged, causing all of the Mithor cores to be ineffective, and all the floating cities fell from the sky, making it extremely difficult to cast magic. The Empire of Gunesser, which had lost its greatest reliance, was destroyed, and the surviving Grand Arcanists were killed by the failure of life-prolonging magic, slave rebellions, or foreign enemies, and the Mithor Cores were destroyed either by the fall of the previous floating city or by enemy attacks.

Due to the failure of the spell, the eighth generation of the magic net was not completely destroyed, but slowly repaired itself, but it was completely out of control, and most of the functions were gone, and it seemed that only the basic function of "collecting and storing energy, waiting to be called in a standard format and strength" remained. Due to the impact of the cataclysm, the Shadow Demon Network was also hit hard, and after self-repair, it was basically out of control, and most of its functions were gone, and it seemed that only the two basic functions of "collecting and storing energy, waiting for calls in a standard format and intensity" and "identification" remained.

This has led to two extremely serious consequences:

The first is that the flexible and changeable spell casting method commonly used by the empire to channel the magic net energy with its own energy has become useless, and it is necessary to use a more complex spell casting method, that is, the spell slot spell casting that gradually matures later.

The second is that the newly created Mither Energy Core cannot be connected to the Magic Network and the Shadow Demon Network, and without the inexhaustible cheap energy provided by the Energy Core, the Empire's world-leading scientific and technological advantages cannot be brought into play.

By the time he mastered the 6th-order spell again, it was already a hundred years later, and Teramante Tanshur, also known as Shado, immediately returned to the main plane, only to find that the main plane was no longer the main plane he was familiar with. In desperation, he had no choice but to return to the Netherworld City to continue the implementation of the Vault Plan, gather strength, and at the same time try to understand what happened to the main plane during this time. Later, Owo and the others got in touch with the Ghost City, preparing to rebuild the empire when the time came.

So far, there are only a dozen known new and old Arcanists combined, and there are only two Mithic cores that can be used normally.

Due to the fact that Owo's energy core is connected to the magic net, and Xia Duo's energy core is connected to the shadow demon network, which is not in the same plane, the Grand Arcanists have no way to compare and study, and they dare not use one of them to conduct experiments on disconnection from the magic network, coupled with the drastic decline in research and development capabilities caused by the collapse of the empire, so that the new access method has not been studied for more than a thousand years.

Therefore, the two energy cores that survived the cataclysm are extremely precious.

Because most of the features are ineffective, it is not more convenient to use the Shadow Demon Web compared to the Demon Net. And because it has not been able to achieve a complete upgrade, until now, the Shadow Demon Network still can't absorb energy other than the shadow mana, resulting in the same spell being used through the Shadow Demon Network is often weaker than using it through the Demon Net. At the same time, the way of using the Shadow Demon Network and the Demon Network is not exactly the same, and the difference is roughly equivalent to that of simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters. As a result, even the Grand Arcanist of Ovo, who survived the Empire of Gunesser, preferred to use a magic web with plenty of energy and constant use.

It's just that the Shadow Demon Network and the Demon Net cover different areas due to their different energy sources. If you can touch two types of magic nets at the same time, you can often use the shadow magic net to cast spells normally in the so-called "magic dead zone" that the magic net can't cover.

However, the Shadow Demon Network has an identity recognition function, which can only be accessed by people with specific permissions, and ordinary people are not eligible to use it. The Grand Arcanists of the Ancient Nether Empire all have supreme privileges, both full and normal access to others. There are also levels of normal permissions, and the higher the permissions, the fewer restrictions. It's just that the function in this area has long been abnormal.,Except for the permission grant.,The highest permission and the ordinary permission function are exactly the same.。

It has been more than 1,700 years since the fall of the Empire of Gunether, and the remaining ordinary authorities have long since died, and there are still some great arcanists with the highest authority, and the current ordinary authorities are all added by them. Originally, the highest authority was supposed to be for ordinary people who relied on the Shadow Demon Network to use the 9th order of the highest authority application technique, and then approved and granted it by the Grand Arcanist Council, but the current council did not have the approval authority at all. Owo and the others used to be quite worried about this, worried that the highest civilization achievements of the Ancient Nether Empire would eventually be forgotten by history because no one could use them, but later it turned out that the approval function was more appropriate, as long as ordinary people relied on the Shadow Demon Network to use the 9th order of the highest authority application technique, it would be automatically approved.

The Great Arcanist Council of the Shadow Demon Network has not been disclosed to the public, and because it requires permission to access it, very few people know about the existence of the Shadow Demon Network. This is also one of the important symbols of the identity of the inheritors of the ancient Nether Empire. This gives Shadow Demon users another advantage, as ordinary Shadow Demon users often find it difficult to identify and counter the magic of Shadow Demon users because they don't understand it.

Mike has the ordinary authority of the Shadow Demon Network, and his magic joint effect is to use two magic networks at the same time, so the difficulty is relatively low. However, this kind of thing can't be said to others, otherwise there are countless evil forces that will not die in the heart of the empire, and what should I do if I am approached.
