Chapter 525: Cracking the Spell Book

Saying that he opened the spell book was actually cracking this magic item, but Xia Duo had no previous experience in this area, so after saying the beginning, he looked at Nia.

It's up to her to do the exact work, but Xia Duo is not a favor or help, and he is no stranger to the principle of cracking magic items, probably like cracking software on the earth.

If the essence of software is a specific route for the flow of electrons, then magic is a specific route for the flow of energy.

The essence of spell casting is the work of the magic net, the energy runs in the magic net, no matter what kind of magic item it is, it will eventually come down to the combination of the strings of the magic net.

In the same way that software does not have encryption at the level of machine language, magic does not have encryption at the level of individual elements, and theoretically, any magic item, any spell, is open source.

This is also why mages don't like to cast spells in front of their peers, as it can easily reveal their own secrets.

Encryption when casting spells, it has a certain effect, but it is of little significance, casting spells is a brain-consuming thing, and encryption makes the spell casting process fragmented and fragmented, which is not conducive to self-memory and mastery.

Encryption is often used in the crafting of magical items.

Without a thorough understanding of spell principles, a mage can't even tell if it's encrypted or not.

In fact, any encrypted magic item can be perfectly copied one-to-one without taking into account the specific spell designed by the magic item, or the cost of time.

This is like the copying of software, in fact, it is a perfect copy from the bottom, information such as "01010", but the copying of magic items not only has information copying, but also production.

But if you want to know the source code of the software, unless it is not encrypted, you can only crack it by decompiling it.

Magic items are similar.

The spell book that Xia Duo obtained was an encrypted spell book, but he also speculated that the encrypted should only be a "shell", and the contents inside should be unencrypted.

After all, who would write in riddles in a normal person!

But in the same way, this encryption should also have some destruction characteristics, otherwise the encryption will be meaningless, and the content inside will not be able to be seen after the forced demolition.

In addition, this encryption should also be divided into different permission levels, otherwise you have to decrypt it every time you use it, wouldn't it be very troublesome!

Therefore, if Xia Duo wants to open this spell book, he must at least complete the step of seizing permissions, otherwise, he can only unlock it slowly.

……

"I'll check if there are any damage spells that trigger."

Nia didn't do it immediately, after all, it was a strange mage's spell book, and she wasn't sure if the Felder mage would have damage spells attached to the spell book.

Of course, it's not just damage spells, any triggering spells need to be avoided.

Before the examination, Nia blessed herself with a full range of protection spells, and a burst of magic flashed, and in Xia Duo's magical vision, Niya had turned into a shining ball of light.

Shado also casts protection.

"Taling, Transformation Spell Lab Protection Mode, Type 2 Test Mode."

As Nia's words fell, Xia Duo noticed that the environment of the magic net in this laboratory had been slightly fine-tuned, and it had become—it had become a little indescribable, but he hadn't noticed anything unusual anyway.

Immediately afterward, Nia controls the Ao Neng, trying to link the open web string of the spell book, which is a necessary step for the use of magic items, and if there is no such thing, the only way to connect the magic item to the self is to connect the magic item to the self.

However, generally only more advanced magic items have such a setting, ordinary magic items, as long as the user has long-term contact with it, it will automatically generate a link, this time is about a few minutes to dozens of hours.

From this point of view, there is a limit to the number of magic items that a mage can use at the same time, and it is unlikely that one person will have ten rings on his hand.

Nia's link attempt was unsuccessful, but it wasn't a failure, at least it didn't trigger any spells, and the pale yellow cover spellbook was still sitting peacefully in the lead box.

"It doesn't look like there's a trigger spell set on the link, I'm going to pick it up and see if there's a trigger spell set on the touch."

Niya had a light in her eyes, and her tone was a little nervous and a little excited, but Xia Duo was a little worried about her state when she looked at her like this:

"Wait a minute, I'll try to use the [Identification Technique] first, you can see if there are any tamed alien slaves in the Gilles Tower, and let the slaves try to touch it."

"This spell book is at least linked to the fifth layer of the magic net, and we can't judge how many are behind it, so the identification technique shouldn't work, right?" Nia was a little confused.

"It doesn't take much to try, but you, you don't look like a calm spellcaster right now."

When Xia Duo said this, Niya was startled at first, but quickly reacted, "I'm sorry, it's the first time I've conducted this kind of cracking experiment, I'll go find a slave now." ”

With that, Nia left the lab.

Xia Duo also mentioned slaves in passing, but he didn't expect that there were really slaves in the Gilles Tower, and he was somewhat repulsed by the use of slaves Xia Duo, whether it was out of civilized morality or practical interests.

But in Nessral, slavery is a very real problem, and in addition to the aliens, even Onesian can become slaves.

In addition, even if you don't use slaves, as long as you are willing to pay for it, there will be a large number of people who are willing to participate in magic experiments.

Even on Earth, there are various medical experiment volunteers, but compared to the slaves on the side of Nessreel, who have no choice, a complete volunteer recruitment process has long been formed on the earth, which can ensure the safety of volunteers to a certain extent.

As long as there are no evil intentions, Xia Duo does not reject the use of experiments. As for the dangers, that's something that volunteers need to consider, or something that some of the review committees that haven't yet been formed.

If Nessera wants to develop, it will definitely form a relatively complete recruitment process for experimental volunteers, after all, if you take 10,000 steps back, the experimenters who actively participate will at least bring higher experimental efficiency than those who are forced to participate.

……

Just when Nia left to contact the slave, Xia Duo was going to use the [Identification Technique] to try it, although he knew that the probability of being able to identify it directly was very small, but as he and Nia said, it would not be difficult to try.

And regardless of whether or not all the information of the spell book has been identified, at least it will not be nothing at all.
