Of course, Xia Duo didn't want to dismantle the statue to make material for the physical code, in fact, he suspected that this statue of the Salek Witch was simply made from the petrification of the living Salek Witch.

After all, ordinary statues only look alike on the outside, but this kind of statue is not only lifelike and imposing on the outside, but also has countless complex structures on the inside.

For example, muscle textures, tissues and organs, bones and blood vessels, etc., although they are the same obsidian-like black stone, it is easy to distinguish the difference.

If this is just a statue, is it necessary to make it so complicated?

As long as the appearance is in place and the magic effect that should be possessed is in place, what the interior looks like is insignificant.

With Xia Duo's current level of magic, it is not difficult to see that the fine internal structure is not set up to achieve a specific magical effect, and in his opinion, these internal structures are very redundant.

It is not difficult to think that these statues are most likely made of petrified by the living Saluk witch, and only in this way can the delicate structures inside the statues be realized relatively easily without additional measures.

Although Xia Duo was not going to dismantle the statue to use it as a canonical material, the petrified magic on the statue was the main target he needed to learn from this time.

Currently, the dominant variation of Nesser's is a petrification spell, which can only perform some superficial transformations within the earth elemental realm, such as transforming loose dirt into solid stone.

Even the transformation of metal into stone is rare, let alone the transformation of flesh into stone, and Xia Duo has only seen descriptions of petrified magic from certain archmage travelogues.

Of course, since there are real-life cases (such as petrified lizards), there will definitely be related spells.

It's just that these spells that involve the nature of the [elemental-matter] relationship are not so easy for Xia Duo to obtain.

Even the Tower of Time only has some of the spell data of [Mud-Stone] transformation, and there is no more in-depth one.

However, from the statue of the Saruk Witch, he found a more advanced petrification magic in the earth elemental realm, which can transform human flesh and blood, as well as the close-fitting leather armor and short blades, into stone.

This has been verified by Jabas and his adopted son Poke, who discovered the ruins of the ancient Salek witch in the territory in the first place.

In addition, the petrification magic on the statue of the Saluk Witch has a high efficiency that ordinary petrification spells do not have!

Normal petrification spells, such as [Turning Mud to Stone], can convert ordinary dirt into stone, but this transformation is incomplete.

Not only will it leave behind obvious remnants of magical aura, but it can even easily reverse this process by calming the magic web, causing the stone to turn into dirt again.

If you want to completely transform, you can basically only rely on time to slowly pass away, and this process will take about a year or two!

Just imagine, if Xia Duo used such a spell to make a Codex Stone Pillar or something or something, it would be hilarious if someone cast a spell from the side, interfering with the stability of the petrified magic, and causing the Codex to collapse.

This is where the petrification magic on the statue of the Saluk Witch is highly effective, and it only takes a week at most to completely transform into real stone.

If Jabas and Polk hadn't been rescued in time and dragged on for more than ten days, they would never have been able to go back, and even if they found some flesh-and-blood spells to restore them in the future, those body tissues would not be the original version.

Of course, it is more likely that they will not be able to hold out for more than ten days at all, and the connection between the petrified part and the flesh part will be in severe pain all the time, maybe only three or five days, and they will be hurt to death.

……

After re-examining the obsidian-like nature of the Saruk Witch Statue, making sure that it was the same as he remembered, Xia Duo went to some samples for the test of constancism.

What the Ayn Stone brought to Xia Duo was not just three pieces of magic equipment and three relatively rare transformational spells, it was as simple as that, and there were all kinds of ingenuity behind the production methods.

In the past, Xia Duo always believed that magic items made through the constant way of magic were easily disturbed by the outside world, and even their service life would be greatly reduced.

But now, he doesn't think so, especially after the birth of the [Projection Plane Comanso].

Many of the magic items on the elves' side are difficult to adapt to the shape of the Mithril components in order to pursue the so-called artistry, so many magic items are made in a way that is magically constant.

Of course, in the elven culture, this is also a form of art, or even a higher form, after all, magic is even high art.

The more difficult it is, the more it shows that the art is masterful!

Compared with the Mithril component-type magic items, although the magic constant type magic items have a higher production threshold, the performance stability of the truly high-end products is not inferior to the Mithril component type.

There are many such magical items in the High Mage Scholarship in Sword of Domination, and in Nesser, the Ayn Stone is an outstanding example of a magical constant type of magical item.

The entity's Great Xia Codex, Xia Duo is prepared to be kept in the territory for a long time, and at the same time requires it to be a magic item, so choosing a magic constant type that is easy to maintain has almost become a must.

If you choose the Mithril component type, due to the existence of elemental transmutation, the Mithril component will definitely deteriorate after a long time, and once the deterioration reaches a certain level, affecting the flow of elemental energy in the magic circuit, then this magic item is considered broken.

And since Mithril artifacts often need to be encapsulated, maintaining them is almost as good as remaking a new one.

If you choose the magic constant type, it is much simpler, although the threshold for production and maintenance is high, but the high threshold does not mean that the process is complex and time-consuming.

"The Ancient God Emperor"

Since the magic is constant, only spells are cast, and no additional consumables or equipment are required.

For Xia Duo, it is more convenient.

As for the perpetual magic technology that Tirac has researched, although Xia Duo attaches great importance to it, strictly speaking, he only values the cost reduction brought by this technology, and he does not pay much attention to the technology itself.

Basically, this is a reduced version of the production scheme that takes into account the two characteristics of the Mithril component type and the magic constant type, and there are almost no other advantages except for the lower cost.

Of course, in many cases, the best product is not necessarily the best-selling product, nor is it necessarily the most profitable product.

However, the physical Great Xia Code standing in the territory is not a commodity that can be sold, but as a symbol of the law of the territory and a symbol of the authority of the lord, it is natural to do the best possible.

To this end, Xia Duo is willing to try more.
