The process of Rhodes creating the Arcane Fire did not exceed Sha Duo's expectations, but the environment in which he created the Arcane Fire was something Sha Duo had never thought of before——
Create arcane fire within the tiny ley lines spread by the Grand Arcanist.
The essence of arcane fire is a curled-up, converging miniature magic network. It cannot be created out of thin air. It must be torn and captured from the external magic network environment.
This means that every time an arcanist is born, the magic network must be destroyed.
And if the external magic network environment is replaced by the Grand Arcanist's miniature Magic Network, even if the Grand Arcanist himself can repeatedly create arcane fire, the lost arcane energy limit cannot be made up.
If a certain Grand Arcanist continues to provide the high-level mage with the magic network environment required for advancement, his arcane power limit will always remain at the initial value at the 10th level.
It’s almost 1,000, which is almost the entire energy consumption of a 10-ring spell, and is only twice the maximum arcane energy limit of the main plane of Shado!
This value is actually very small.
Now Xia Duo already knows that in the normal sense, there are only ten levels of the magic network, which means that the stage that can be quickly upgraded can only reach the tenth level of the magic network at most.
Grand Arcanists are at this level. Not all Grand Arcanists can continue to climb up at the end of the magic network. Therefore, it is difficult for their arcane fire to grow explosively and can only grow slowly over time.
Their arcane power limit is basically based on 1,000 and slowly increases.
However, the Grand Arcanist can generally achieve success before the age of forty, and the subsequent life span depends on each person's different circumstances, which can be at least several decades.
Although Xia Duo didn't know how high the upper limit of the arcane power of the Grand Arcanist was, it would definitely be significantly different from the initial value of 1,000.
Judging from his appearance alone, Dean Bernie is estimated to be close to sixty, but no matter how high his arcane upper limit was before, after Rhodes advanced like this, he will immediately return to the original stage.
If there is a spell that requires more than 1,000 arcane energy, Dean Bernie will not be able to cast that spell with the help of arcane fire after the arcane fire returns to its initial stage.
Of course, this does not mention the risks after the collapse of Austrian fire.
If someone attacks him after the collapse of his Arcane Fire and before the creation of a new Arcane Fire, there is almost a perfect opportunity. Even Xia Duo, who is a bystander at this moment, can easily succeed as long as he is willing to make a sneak attack.
Of course Xia Duo would not do that.
On the one hand, Dean Bernie just mentioned that there are three great arcanists who are watching and guarding this advancement. Even if the sneak attack is successful, they will not be able to escape the follow-up blows of those three people.
On the other hand, Chateau admired Bernie very much for his willingness to sacrifice his own arcane fire to achieve success for his younger generation.
Not everyone can have such an awareness. Most people do good deeds just because they can get more benefits. If their own interests are harmed, then they are unwilling to do so.
Xia Duo asked himself, unless it was his own child and the relationship was deep, he would not be willing to give so much.
Don't look at it as just a little reduction in the growth accumulation of Arcane Fire, and a little risk before re-creating Arcane Fire, but you must know that Bernie has no need to do this, and no one will force him.
Even if the advancement of high-level mages may be monitored by Comanso, they can still be taken to distant places to advance. The most is to build a few more one-time advancement laboratories in distant places. Even if they are discovered, it doesn't matter, the advancement is over.
Come back again.
Or arrange stronger measures to shield detection. As long as you think about it, the great arcanist can definitely think of more ways than Xia Duo can think of standing here. There is no need to sacrifice himself.
Xia Duo speculated that perhaps from the perspective of resource consumption, the cost of sacrificing the arcane fire of the great arcanist would be the smallest.
But even so, for the victims, no amount of resources can make up for the loss of the arcane upper limit.
…
Soon, a point in the space above Ross's empty hands suddenly burst out with bright light. Seeing this scene, Sha Duo breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the birth of the Arcane Fire. The most difficult step has been completed. The next step is to combine it with the will. As long as Ross has sensed the soul before, there will be almost no difficulty and almost no accidents.
And has Rhodes sensed the soul before?
That's for sure. If you can't sense the soul beforehand, how can you have the confidence to successfully advance!
Ross held the Austrian Fire, which actually didn't need any support, with both hands. He turned to face Bernie, and Sha Duo excitedly shouted: "I succeeded!"
"There is still one last step to go, don't waste time!" Xia Duo warned aloud, and took the initiative to calm down the broken and chaotic magic network around him.
Despite the foundation of Bernie's micro-magic net, the advanced destructive power still caused interference to the external magic net environment that was difficult to ignore.
While calming down the magic network, Xia Duo also noticed that Dean Bernie had not given up on the broken miniature magic network, and was still carefully sorting and repairing it.
This scene made Xia Duo's heart move. Does it mean that providing advanced magic network environment for others does not require the complete destruction of arcane fire?
If that's the case, maybe it's more reasonable.
The Grand Arcanist's ability to re-create arcane fire is far greater than when a high-level mage advances. Even if it is convenient, it is definitely not as safe as not taking this step.
If something unexpected happens, it won't be worth it.
Now this may be the real reason why Bernie is willing to sacrifice himself. Of course, the reduction in the arcane energy limit is inevitable. At least compared to the arcane fire being completely destroyed and needing to be re-created, this sacrifice is still much smaller.
…
After a while, Ross had completely controlled the Arcane Fire. He stood next to Sha Duo and helped calm the surrounding magic network environment. At the same time, he was silently waiting for the good news from Dean Bernie.
With the assistance of a new arcanist, the broken and chaotic magic network environment in the room was quickly brought under control. Although it could not be completely repaired in a short period of time, the combing and sorting was completed quickly.
As a result, Dean Bernie reshaped the micro-magic network. In the process of the micro-magic network curling up and converging, Xia Duo accidentally sensed the arcane energy reserve in the opponent's arcane fire——
Almost 1,000 more!
Being able to store so much arcane energy shows that the opponent's arcane fire can barely maintain the ten-layer structure of the micro-magic network. If Dean Bernie's arcane fire had been slightly weaker before, it might have collapsed by now.
"Dean Bernie——"
Xia Duo just wanted to ask about the other party's previous arcane power limit, but felt something was wrong, so he said it and it became——
"Are you okay?"
Bernie turned around and glanced at Xia Duo, nodded, and said, "I know you must have a lot of questions now. Just ask whatever you want. I'll give you five minutes."
After speaking, Bernie began to repair the damaged external environment of the Great Magic Network in the room.
