At present, Xia Duo does not have the means to effectively enslave elemental creatures, but if it is just confinement, there will definitely be no problem, so he is not worried about the revived earth elemental elders losing control.
The place he chose to resurrect the earth element elders was an unnamed valley in Elam. The vegetation here was relatively sparse, so he didn't have to worry about polluting the local environment when putting in the earth elements.
Although in Sha Duo's plan, the countdown to destroying Elan has entered, it is not the last one yet, so he still tries his best to consider everything he can.
Randomly selecting a rock protruding from the ground, Shado placed the four earth elemental spirits received from Iolum and the Seven Towers on it, and made a temporary focusing circle, and then placed it on top of the rock.
The earth element channel was opened.
This is a real elemental channel that leads directly to the inner plane. It only interacts with elemental energy with the main plane, but the inner plane is the source of elemental energy. Generally speaking, as long as the channel is opened, it is often to the main plane.
In other words, the material plane pours out.
This is what Xia Duo saw at the moment, only circles of elemental channels like ripples on the water, exuding strong magical aura while spewing out a large amount of earth element (energy).
After contacting the focusing array on the rock below, it began to continuously gather inside it, and the four earth-like elemental spirits reacted almost immediately after contacting the earth elemental energy.
It began to proliferate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually grew bigger from the original fist-sized lump. However, in the process of growing larger, the appearance of the four spirits also began to become little by little different.
Two of them still maintain their original earthy color, but for the other two, the yellow of one has begun to fade, and the other has become stained with a layer of gray and black.
As time gradually passed, all the elemental spirits lost their original earthy color, and their multiplied parts became more like rocks than soil.
Xia Duo watched all this happen with cold eyes and did not make any unnecessary moves. According to the information provided by the Seven Towers, the body of the earth element elder was very large, and if he wanted to recover from the spirit state, he had to reach at least half of the normal state.
In the process of the proliferation of spirits, the four stones that were originally close to each other did not merge with everything. Instead, they showed a distinct state, and each of them multiplied in a direction away from other spirits.
…
Almost an hour later, the four spirits had transformed from the original dirt into four huge rocks with different colors. Xia Duo didn't know much about the rocks, but he only recognized that one of them should be yellow granite.
The previously improvised focusing circle had been crushed by four huge rocks, and even the stones and soil below were partially assimilated by the four resurrecting earth element elders.
But at this moment, there is no need to focus on the magic circle to gather earth element energy for them. After sensing the element channel above, they can actively absorb the earth element energy accumulated around them to proliferate and revive.
At this point, as long as there are no external factors to interfere, the recovery of these four earth element elders is already a certainty.
Of course, Xia Duo would not interfere, but quietly reduced the flux of the elemental channels to delay the recovery progress of these earth element elders.
He has not received a reply from Tarafu yet, and he doesn't know whether the other party can find a way to enslave the elements, and whether he has raised an earth elemental elder who can communicate with people.
Chateau counted the time and couldn't help but become anxious. Fortunately, he had other things to distract him from his anxiety, which was the "Time Stone" he had found from Dali when he was in Belluno.
In Dali's memory, the gem that looks like a crystal with starlight inside was given to him by Daphne, and its effect is that it can change the past at critical moments.
And before the last meeting, Dali had seen Daphne's ability to change the past, so he had no doubts about the effect of the gem.
This is Dali's knowledge, and Chateau is certain that it is true, but he is still relatively skeptical about whether Dali was deceived by Daphne and whether the gem can really change the past.
At the critical moment before the decisive battle, a gem that can change the past - of course this is Dali's understanding, but in Chateau's view it is actually a reshaping of the timeline - is handed over to a supporter who is not even willing to take action himself.
Chateau was a little suspicious of Daphne's intentions.
So after returning to land, the first thing he dealt with was the clues about the Underdark, not the time gem.
Of course, he also knew very well that if the gem was real, then as long as he understood its principles and mechanisms, he might be able to stop the Illuminati more effectively than directly finding the core ritual of the Illuminati.
Based on this consideration, although he still had doubts about the authenticity of the so-called time stone, he still invested a certain amount of energy in research.
Xia Duo's real body is currently studying the time gem in Yongle City. At this time, the incarnation side has not yet waited for Tarafu's follow-up reply. In order to relieve his anxiety, he paid more attention to his main body.
…
Yongle City, laboratory.
The time gem that was originally kept separately in a dimensional bag has been taken out by Xia Duo and placed on the experimental table. The laboratory he is currently in is a rare second-level laboratory in Yongle City, also known as [second-level laboratory]
Standard General Laboratory].
Basically, all the instruments and equipment required for experiments are complete, but it is a higher-level third-level laboratory. Because of the division of fields, those instruments and equipment that are not in the corresponding fields are not always available.
At this moment, Xia Duo was somewhat glad that the Tower of Time was short of manpower and financially tight at the time, so it only built a few second-level laboratories in Yongle City, instead of building a third-level laboratory specifically for him in the plane field.
Otherwise, he might have to rub various instruments and equipment with his hands, or take out spare ones from the portable space, but it would take a lot of time to debug.
There is no magic net in the portable space, which will have a certain impact on the preservation of the instruments and equipment. Even if it has no impact, it still needs to be debugged when taken out from the warehouse. This should be regarded as the basic process of the experiment.
And if it has been debugged in the laboratory, it can be used at any time with just a little confirmation.
Just like Xia Duo is doing now, he used a variety of detection instruments with different perception dimensions to check the body of the time gem on the experimental table. The results were not much different from what he had judged after observing with Belluno's naked eyes.
From the surface, this is a stone with a more beautiful appearance, or if the test results of various instruments indicate that it is an ordinary crystal.
But will there be a little bit of starlight inside ordinary crystal?
Will ordinary crystals cause seemingly random disturbances to the Magic Network, but actually hidden patterns?
Obviously not.
Proof by contradiction, this is no ordinary crystal.
