Chapter Ninety-One: Embedding the Array
After Carrot was completely reduced to a war zone, the city was divided into two occupation zones, bounded by the Champ de Mars, with the Imperial Palace on the left and the Tieling rebels on the right. The emperor sent troops to garrison here, prohibiting the passage of the Tieling rebels, and also forbidding some of the rebels who supported Tieling to use their own supplies to collaborate with the enemy.
All those who were found were killed on the spot, and many residents who were interested in Tieling had to hide their careful thoughts, and honestly stayed at home and waited for the conscription order to become the new cannon fodder.
The Iron Ridge Mages used their advantage to create a temporary waypoint, and they set it up in the diocese of Lika, which was the first to be occupied, and it happened to be on the side of the Iron Ridge Occupation Zone. The first thing the Iron Ridge Mage Regiment did when they came out was to come here and kill all the priests who could not escape or were firmly guarding this place.
All supplies in the diocese were looted to build a teleportation tower, a small portal tower that could hold hundreds of people at a time. It was planned and overseen by Neroth, who was skilled in teleportation. The Guardian Knights were in charge of transporting the required materials, Tib was on the sidelines, and Shut was able to patrol the territory with his powerful beast powers, allowing them to react immediately to the sudden harassment of enemies.
In the half-day construction, the teleportation tower has begun to take shape, the foundation has been firmly built, and the tower body has been completed, but the teleportation energy column at the top of the tower has not been built, this step is more troublesome, so it takes a little more time. Neroth sat in his makeshift headquarters, buried in a pile of books.
Without exception, these books are all about the construction of the Mage's Tower. Using a quill and papyrus, he quickly calculated the current rate of construction and the estimated completion time of the portal, at which rate it would take them another half a day to fully build the portal.
There was a hurried knock at the door, and a knight with an armored face walked in. He had come to convey Danton's orders, and Danton told the knight to repeat what Kane wanted to say to Nerich.
Neroth didn't immediately go to the Kahlan Tavern when he received the news, as he could have taken the opportunity to test the performance of the teleportation tower. But if he wanted to get to the Calan Tavern from here, he would need to modify the current data a little. The teleportation distance should be increased by one step, and the range should be nearly doubled accordingly.
After the knight left, he continued to revise his head, and while increasing the teleportation distance, he also easily increased the teleportation accuracy by a range, reducing the teleportation deviation range from 500 meters to 300 meters. It took a long time, Neroth's eyes were bloodshot, and the high-intensity work efficiency made him tired, but after drinking a bottle of powerful compound recovery potion, he was quickly full of energy again.
He stretched his waist contentedly, stretched his sore shoulders, summoned the communications soldiers outside, and sent the newly modified data to Tib.
And he himself went on to tinker with another great magical invention, a mosaic circle, which was a great attempt. The so-called mosaic magic circle is actually to integrate multiple magic circles together, and superimpose multiple small magic arrays on the big magic array to increase the magic damage, so as to achieve the effect that one plus one is greater than two.
Neroth was able to come up with this strange idea thanks to the ancient magic circle illustrated book he found in the great library of the diocese of Lika. He saw the idea of the mosaic circle in it, but there was no specific guide, just an empty reverie, proposed by Master Rakwell, according to the book, he was an ancient archmage, from a mysterious ancient holy place, no one knew how powerful he was, his identity was a mystery.
However, for such a mysterious archmage, almost no one believed his theories, and even less regarded him as a powerful mage. Even his title of Archmage was the nickname he first gave to him by an old mage who liked to tease people. Because he himself has not really completed the mosaic circle in the book, and no one has confirmed this boring and absurd theory in the future.
But Neros didn't think so, and he was interested in theories that ordinary people thought were impossible to achieve, or that were conclusive and whimsical. He miniaturized the Arcane Teleportation Array into a miniature Arcane Teleportation Array and embedded it in the Magic Sword Array, a combination that allowed him to confuse his opponent as he unleashed the Sword Array, and suddenly teleported to the enemy's blind spot to launch an attack while he was unprepared.
With this in mind, Nehris tried again and again, but each time the result was not satisfactory, either the magic energy budget was overloaded and the entire mosaic circle disintegrated before it could be shot, or the magic energy input was insufficient to support the operation of the entire circle, and the teleportation process was interrupted.
Nefrius picked up the quill again and did the math on the papyrus, when Tib came back from outside, and he walked into the room, just in time to see Nelus embedded the teleportation arcane into the magic sword array.
"What are you doing? The messenger guards say you're going to expand the scope of the portal? Tib came to the tall stack of books, and he pushed aside the books that were blocking Neros. Then a golden light flashed before his eyes, followed by a roar behind him, and he turned his head to see that the golden sword array had just been triggered.
Tib was amazed by the magic mosaic, even though it was just a mini mosaic circle, and it didn't do much magic damage.
"Wow! What is it? ”
"A mosaic circle, my latest research, unfortunately did not achieve the expected effect." Nelus said tiredly. At this time, the mana value in his body was drained again, and he grabbed a bottle of blue magic recovery potion placed on the table and drank it, and his mana was quickly full again.
Although the mini mosaic circle was teleported out intact, it was quite different from the effect he expected before, and the circle just now was transmitted to the door and then fell quickly was what he wanted, but the circle was still a few steps away from the door, although it was not very long, but the error of these few steps was likely to make him lose the opportunity to move, and it would also startle the snake.
Although the circle is a little flawed, it is also a huge improvement, at least it shows that he is in the right direction, and if he improves it slightly, he may have a chance to release the mosaic circle.
Tibb picked up the calculus paper on Nefrith's desk and took a cursory look at it, he couldn't understand the formula at all, and the only thing he could understand was the question of how much magic was worth.
"What is this? Does it have something to do with the magic skill you just cast? He said. Have you been working on this for the past few days? ”
"I told you, this is a mosaic circle, and what you have in your hand is its data." He replied, "This is a magic catalogue I found in the Great Library, and it contains a very interesting theory. ”
"What theory?"
"See for yourself, maybe you'll be interested." He showed Tib the magic catalog.
Tib glanced at him, opened the book suspiciously, and turned to the place where Nefrith had pointed him out.
"Huh? This... Isn't this a composite magic array? He looked at Nelus in surprise and said.
Seeing Tibb's reaction, Nelus knew that he had found the right person, and he must know the magic array theory. Although the names are different, this does not prevent them from working together on this great discovery.
"Compound Magic Array?"
"That's our Fire Demon name, the name is different, but the theory and the author are the same. I saw it in the high priest's house, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, because it was labeled as a madman's nonsense. He said, "You're working on it." The one just now, could it be a compound magic circle? He turned his head sharply, and there was only a few golden residues in the place.
"The one you see is indeed the mosaic magic circle I just triggered,... That's what you call a compound circle. I think we can work on this great theory together, and it will be a new milestone for the field of magic! Neroth's eyes sparkled, inviting Tib to join his research team.
Naturally, Tib would not turn down a like-minded friend, who shared the same yearning for the wizarding world.
"Of course! So when are we going to start, I can't understand the formula you wrote above, you can teach me to know what it means first. ”
"Ah, there's no hurry, I still have some work to do, have you built a new portal? I need to test it out. ”
"Something?"
"I'm going to the Kahlan Tavern." Neroth packed up the table, put the magic catalogue in the box, and locked it tightly with a magic lock, and carried the rest of the calculation paper with him.
The black guide stone is polished into a diamond shape and placed on the top of the tower, and the four corners of the square tower have four magic crystals to provide energy for this huge teleportation tower, and they extract the most primitive and pure magical energy from the surrounding environment, eliminating the trouble of human recharging. This also greatly ensures the safety of the teleportation tower, preventing the teleportation tower from being damaged by spatial turbulence when someone happens to use the teleportation tower to trap people in the magical space and suffer from spatial turbulence.
Hut also came back from outside, and he was waiting for Nelus under the tower.
The portal tower opened a twisted blue portal to the portal, and Nerhus stepped inside, pausing for a moment before stepping in firmly. Hut followed, and Tieb watched quietly outside as the portal closed.
The Kahlan Tavern is located next to the Champ de Mars, just below the original steps, stuck on the edge of the dividing line between the two sides. The buildings around him had been beaten to rubble, white walls and wooden beams had fallen into the rubble, and the clutter of furniture had been crushed by stones and covered with dust.
The Kahlan Tavern stood alone in the ruins, its eroded sign hanging from the eaves of its door. The tavern was bustling with people, unaffected by the war outside, and all sorts of people gathered to brag, play cards, gamble, and smoke psychotropic drugs. Kane sat in a corner, and the environment had changed again, unlike the last time he had seen it.
The tavern became a lawless place, where there were no sheriffs and no rules. Some of the mercenaries from the King's coalition also came here to drink, and the mercenaries of Tieling turned a blind eye and drank cheap spirits from their own glasses.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to make trouble here, because this is a rare place of freedom, and if anyone has an itch here and needs to settle a grudge, they will tacitly walk out of the tavern and go to the empty Champ de Mars outside to duel. There are the best arenas and no one will bother them.
No, not long after he came in, Kane had already seen someone go out to duel for the fourth time, and a Tieling mercenary was dissatisfied with the provocative eyes of the soldiers of the Kingdom Alliance, and there was friction between them, and none of the people who were drinking wanted to come up to reconcile their conflicts. The boss wiped the wine glass in his hand as he watched with interest as the situation turned towards the duel.
"There are so many good shows today, this is the fourth one, I hope no one will admit it this time." The knight in armor smiled at his companion.
