There is no doubt that it is definitely not an easy task to build a Mystery Lock from scratch that can cover a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands.
Especially for Zuo Si, who is very ambitious and tries to completely get rid of the restriction of the elves that they can only rely on the two gods Mysrien Seret and Corellon to cast the Mystery Magic, and establish a new theoretical basis of their own.
people.
The difficulty is basically equivalent to that of some electronics majors rubbing a chip by hand without any tools or outside help.
After all, the bottom and core parts of the small local area network - Magic Lock created by the elves based on the Magic Network have already been built by the gods. All they need is to follow the operating instructions to complete it step by step.
And those complicated high elf magic rituals are the steps that must be experienced to achieve this result.
In other words, the process of the elves creating the mystery lock is equivalent to starting and running some programs on a computer that already has a complete operating system.
These programs are the magical effects that can be produced within the range of the Mystery Lock.
It still relies on the Magic Network, the source of magic in this world. In other words, the existence of the Magic Network is equivalent to the hardware of the computer and is absolutely indispensable.
The anti-magic force field can suppress the Mystic Lock within a certain range, which is the best proof of this.
What the two gods Corellon and Mythryn Seret gave to the elves was an operating system based on the hardware of the Magic Network.
This is why there are three large-scale magic enchantment systems called "Mystery Locks" in the continent of Faerûn, but only the Elven Mystery Locks are the most famous and widely known.
Because only their mythical locks are the most cost-effective and run more efficiently, and can grant many incredible top-notch magical abilities.
As for the other two types, one is a large-scale magic barrier created by the Netherese people. Strictly speaking, it cannot be included in the category of mythos, let alone the elven mythos created by God.
The other type is the True Mantra Mystery Lock, which has a very high learning threshold and is the highest level of knowledge that even many legendary mages may not be able to understand, understand and apply.
Just the initial learning of true mantras is often enough to consume the life of a short-lived race like humans.
In addition, Mysuo can be said to be the master of protective magic.
In the process of research and experimentation, Zuo Si's understanding of this faction's magic has become more and more in-depth, and he will become more advantageous in casting all protective and enchantment magic, whether it is arcane or divine magic.
Offensive protective magic such as imprisonment and disintegration are particularly difficult to resist, save, and absorb defensive energy. Spell reversal is not easily dispelled by the enemy's dispel magic effect.
However, after struggling for a few days, he finally failed to successfully construct a complete mystery lock. It could only be regarded as a simple barrier to protect and purify Askatra.
But in the process of constant attempts, Zuo Si has gradually figured out some tricks. As long as time goes by, he will be able to create his own Mystic underlying operating system, and then build a work on top of it that can rival or even surpass Elf Myss.<
/p>
Even after realizing this, Midnight immediately came to the incarnation, had a conversation with him for several hours, and promised to give him the greatest support.
As the third-generation magic goddess, she hopes more than anyone else to see Faerun's native magic civilization surpass the elves, rise again, and establish a powerful magic empire.
Especially creations related to the magic field, without exception, will make them feel extremely happy and joyful.
Not to mention the new theory that the mystery lock is extremely difficult, and once successful, it can immediately raise the overall magic level in the country to a higher level.
As for the knowledge, ideas and concepts that Zuo Si copied and pasted from the artifacts personally created by the God of Elf Magic, Mysrien Seret...
Midnight simply chose to ignore it.
After all, it is normal for people to learn from each other in the field of magic.
As the goddess of magic, she never encourages her followers to keep their discoveries and creations to themselves.
Rather, we hope that mages can communicate and share various discoveries and even inventions with others, and ultimately achieve the goal of improving the overall level of magic.
Just when Zuo Si was obsessed with how to come up with the underlying structure of a magic mystery lock, an unexpected visitor suddenly interrupted his almost crazy research enthusiasm.
It was none other than the construct creature that he had successfully repaired not long ago and returned to the mechanical realm alone to report on the progress of the work - the person responsible.
At this moment, this metal lump with an independent soul, will and thinking looked extremely depressed, drooping his head made entirely of fine gold, and the twinkling light in his two eyes became quite dim, not at all like before.
An indomitable spirit to achieve the goal.
In fact, he caused quite a commotion when he entered Ascaltra.
After all, constructs are clearly defined as "dangerous weapons" in the West Coast Empire's Magic Items Management Act.
All mages who own golems must go to the Masked Mages Guild for inspections every few years to ensure that the golems will not suddenly run amok and hurt people in densely populated business districts due to hidden dangers caused by some substandard manufacturing processes.
, destroying buildings and property.
If you want to take the golem on the streets, you must apply for a corresponding license and pay a large deposit.
Fortunately, the consciousness of Mage Tower discovered this in time and directly teleported the person responsible from the city gate, avoiding an unnecessary conflict.
"Have you not returned to the mechanical realm?" Zuo Si asked, staring at the metal lump standing motionless.
During the restoration process, he had already learned a lot of the unique construct manufacturing techniques of the Machine Realm through dismantling, so he did not force the other party to stay.
But who would have thought that not long after this, the construct that insisted on doing things according to the preset rules would come back on its own, and it seemed that it had encountered some problems after returning to the machine realm.
A faint light flashed in the eyes of the person in charge, and he replied in a tone without any emotion: "I did return to the place where I was created in the Machinery Realm.
But when I was inspected, they found that my core had been contaminated and replaced, and I was no longer capable of maintaining order and contracts.
Some people even suggested that they want to completely dismantle me and throw me into the garbage dump full of abandoned body parts.
This is not the fate I deserve.
So I escaped, but I didn't know where to go."
"So you thought of coming to me?"
Zuo Si touched his chin and looked at this increasingly humanized construct with interest.
As the person who repaired it, he obviously knows very well why the person responsible turned it into what it is now.
The reason is very simple, that is, the dark void energy and matter leaked when the Crystal Prison exploded, causing irreversible impact and damage to its core.
Although most of the contaminated areas were later replaced with other parts during the repair process, the erosion of the soul is irreparable.
As we all know, the dark void is characterized by chaos, disorder and nothingness.
The characteristic of the mechanical plane is absolute lawfulness.
The two are almost completely opposite in origin.
Therefore, when those who created the Responsible Person find that his soul has been infected and is no longer an indifferent task-executing machine as before, and even has a sense of self and freedom similar to that of a mortal, they will inevitably choose to destroy it.
From the perspective of the mechanical realm, it is perfect order to have no self-awareness like a machine and to be absolutely subordinate to a great whole.
Any imperfection that leads to imperfection will become an inducement and potential danger for deviating from the lawful alignment.
"Yes. Apart from the mechanical realm, this mage tower is the only place I have stayed for a long time. And I really, really want to find out what happened to me back then?"
After saying that, the person in charge raised his head, showing an expression that was mixed with confusion, confusion and longing.
Unlike those ordinary low-level constructs, his metal face can make various complex expressions and expressions.
The main reason why I had no expression in the past was that the absolutely lawful soul suppressed the instinct and desire of beings.
But now, as the energy and matter of the dark void have had an irreversible impact on it, this powerful construct is becoming more and more like a "human".
If I had to give a more appropriate description, it should be a bit like the curse of flesh and blood that the ancient gods of Azeroth next door put on the Titan creations, which eventually evolved into humans, dwarfs, dwarves and other races.
He will start to worry about his own life and will have his own thinking, consciousness, values ​​and even ideals.
This is also the most intolerable situation in the mechanical realm.
Zuo Si was obviously very interested in the changes that had taken place in the person responsible.
This helped him understand the nature of the dark void, its significance to the real universe, and what happened to those void creatures, so after a moment of silence he quickly responded: "You should still remember to release the body of the God Killer,
That's what happened at the moment when the black hole connected to the different-dimensional channel exploded, right?"
The person in charge nodded slightly: "Yes, I still remember.
It was an unprecedented spew of terrifying energy and matter.
My body was hit on the spot during the retreat, and then the protective magic and body were all shattered in an instant.
A large amount of unknown information poured in.
When I woke up, I was already in the middle of working on this mage tower.
It was you who saved me and helped repair my broken body.
I owe you a favor in this regard.
Since then, my thoughts and consciousness have become different from before.
To be precise, the self is becoming stronger and stronger, and it is beginning to feel more emotions, including anger, tension, fear, expectation, etc.
To be continued...
