Chapter 679: Chickens and Ducks, Petrochemical Field

"It's a bit complicated, I've never seen a curse like this before, there's a very strange and stubborn force attached to his leg, and I need a little time to think about how to expel it."

After Bishop Ambriel finished speaking, he glanced at the petrified Jabas in a strange posture on the side, and then at Polk lying on the plank, and said to Chado:

"His condition is mild and not life-threatening, and if you agree, I will test the eviction effect on him."

"Yes, I agree!" Without much hesitation, Chado agreed to Bishop Ambriel's experiment, which was just right for him to make a closer observation.

As for what the Bishop called "a very strange and stubborn power", Xia Duo did not take it to heart, for the mage, magic is a very specific and quantifiable operation.

But for the clergy, magic is more like a mysterious force that is vague and has no specific form, which is understood entirely through perception.

The two sides see the world from different angles.

The petrified state on Bock's leg is an eerie power for Bishop Ambriel, but for Chador, it is a specific spell that can be understood within it.

On this issue, mages and clergy basically can't talk together, unless it's an astral mage, or a priest of the goddess of magic, it's better not to talk about magic, it's really not a joke to talk about chickens and ducks.

……

Bishop Ambril then examined the completely petrified Jabas before trying it on Pock.

What appeared to Xia Duo's naked eye was an ever-changing divine light stirring in the bishop's hands, while the thighs of Pock, which were illuminated, did not change.

"Green Sword Fairy"

Not to say that it has not returned to normal, not even worsened, as if the bishop's actions were completely useless.

But in the magical vision, this series of stimuli exposed some of the details of the petrification spell, and although the bishop was not good at magic, he had a keen intuition about magic.

His holy power weaves through the strings of the magic web, bumping here and there, like an adventurer exploring in the mysterious mist.

While Xia Duo quickly recorded some of the details of this petrification spell with simple arcane geometry, he also silently analyzed the whole picture of the petrification spell constructed by these details in his mind.

……

A moment later.

Polke, who had been lying quietly, suddenly let out a scream of "ah-" and woke up from his slumber, and then frantically tapped his hands on the junction of the flesh and petrified parts of the base of his thighs, while his upper body kept struggling to sit up.

Interrupted so suddenly, the divine light stirring in Bishop Ambriel's hand suddenly contracted, and it almost went out of control, but fortunately, the bishop was experienced and calmed Poke in time, and then he wiped the sweat from his head, stood up, and said to Chado:

"I'm still a little underestimated about this curse, it's so tricky! I'm going to take a break and try again. ”

After saying that, he sat down on the chair next to him that had not been put away.

And Xia Duo was just about to think about it, so he took out a small table and a set of tea sets, put them down in the open space between the two chairs, and began to make tea.

But this time, he was not willing to take out the "Bonu Original Leaf", after all, his own tea tree has not yet grown, and it is very unstable to obtain it from the elves, and he has to risk being tracked down.

Just such a can of stock, even if you just drink it yourself, it may not last long, it must be saved.

But even the foreign trade version of "Bonu No. 4" still has a considerable refreshing effect, but after drinking the original leaves of Bonu for so many days, Xia Duo's mouth seems to have been raised, he only took two sip of "Bonu No. 4", put down the teacup, and completely focused his mind on the spell notes in his hand.

Although the form of any spell will be different, the essence is the same, it is the operation of the string of the magic web, and this unknown petrification spell is no exception.

It's just that whether it can be parsed or lifted is another matter.

Based on only some of the information that had been gathered, Xia Duo speculated that this petrification spell might be a field-type spell rather than a spell competing for a single object.

It may be possible to inflict a partial petrification effect on a mage facing a single object, but there is a clear difference in the construction of field spells and single spells.

It's more said to be a petrification spell, but rather a "petrification field".

Polk or Jabas inadvertently triggered a mechanic where a petrified realm appeared, transforming everything within the realm into a stony form.

Xia Duo thought back to what he had seen in the so-called ruins using the Detection Spell before, and there was indeed nothing but earth and stone, and it seemed that only earth-elemental-inclined substances were exempt from this petrification effect.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo immediately got up and came to the completely petrified Jabba, and forcibly broke off the dagger he pinned to his waist, which was also petrified, and the fracture was very clear-

The inside of the dagger sheath is not a metal dagger, but a stone dagger.

This was somewhat unexpected, could it be that the petrochemical field was so powerful that even metals could be transformed?

But on the other hand, if we can master the transformation method of metals, wouldn't it be possible to generate various metal materials at will?

However, Xia Duo didn't think about it that far for the time being, thinking about the transformation efficiency of elemental gems, he knew that this generation method would definitely be time-consuming and energy-consuming.

Until there is no efficient cheap energy source, the most that can be done is to try this extremely expensive experiment once in a while in the laboratory.

Returning to the petrification realm itself, Xia Duo couldn't tell that it belonged to a few rings of spells for the time being, but more than 5 rings was certain, although he couldn't observe a deeper structure, but through reasonable speculation based on the nature of magic, he was very sure that there was a deeper structure.

But the problem is that from the existing information, it is not for Xia Duo to deduce the deep structure of this petrification magic, even if he can understand everything involved in the first five layers of the magic web, it is difficult to further deduce all the details of this petrification magic.

This is somewhat similar to the [Identification Technique], at the level of the magic net that Xia Duo can't observe, the complexity is even more shallow, which is like knowing all the information of a mobile phone chip, and it is impossible to know all the information of other parts.

While some may be speculated, it can never be all.

At this time, if the mage trying to explore has enough theoretical reserves and spell design experience, he may be able to complete the remaining spell details on his own, so that although there may be some slight differences from the original spell, the general direction can be completely consistent.

And Xia Duo, such a mage who has both theory and experience, now just needs to gather more information.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the teacup again, took a sip of the tea that was already a little cold, and said to Bishop Ambriel, "Bishop, do you want to continue?" ”

"Good!"

After a short break, Ambriel had regained his spirits, and during the break, he had some new ideas that made him a little more confident about this attempt.
