Xia Duo briefly recalled whether there was anything missing, and after confirming that everything was ready, he responded to the initial call signal without hesitation.
The next process was like the reverse process of the previous projection to the star realm. Sha Duo's consciousness suddenly descended from infinite heights to an exact coordinate.
After a brief moment of dizziness, he could clearly feel that his body had undergone some strange changes from when he was in the star realm. Before he had time to think about it, he heard a gentle voice ringing in his ears——
"Your Excellency must be the special envoy of Xia Duo. My king has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Only then did Xia Duo notice that the environment he was in at this time was obviously inside a certain building. The surrounding walls and the ground under his feet were all exuding the glow of magic.
Especially under the feet, there is a huge magic circle, which is continuously sending mysterious signals deep into the depths of the magic network in an unknown direction.
The elf who had just spoken was looking at him silently, with calm but respectful eyes. Xia Duo could see from the other person's dress that she should be a palace official, and perhaps she had powers that were unimaginable to outsiders!
After all, his arrival should be a secret matter, and the fact that the other party knows about it is enough to explain everything.
"Take me to your king!"
"Yes, please come with me."
…
There was a long corridor leading out from the secret room. Xia Duo followed the female elf official all the way forward. The starry sky was reflected above the corridor, and long epic murals were painted on both sides, which seemed to be telling the birth of Akora.
origin.
Although the corridor was long, it was not boring to look at these murals. As long as he kept walking like this, Xia Duo soon realized that something was wrong.
First of all, there are no exits on both sides of the aisle, which is like a long ditch. This is very strange. Who would specially build such an aisle?
Furthermore, it had been almost ten minutes since they walked. Although the murals were not repeated, Xia Duo's walking speed was not slow, especially since the elf was leading the way. His gait was already light. Ten minutes was enough for them to walk one thousand meters.
Already.
Elf cities may have streets that are one thousand meters long, but Shado has never seen such long indoor or underground passages.
Perhaps Akora is a bit special, but Sha Duo prefers that it is not a real scene.
Perhaps the starry sky reflected above the corridor was just a blinding trick, causing him to think that the starry sky was an illusion, but not to think that everything here might be an illusion, even the elf lady leading the way.
Thinking like this, Xia Duo kept walking, but secretly he was already thinking about countermeasures. He was not worried about Akora plotting against him. At worst, he could just give up the mission. Anyway, he was not the one who suffered.
He just felt that King Akaola was about to die, so he used this method to test him, or test him. Wasn't he afraid of wasting time and ultimately missing the opportunity to extend his life?
Maybe the other party has already decided to adopt the Elf Heart's plan!
Xia Duo guessed maliciously.
Soon, he discovered a flaw in the scene. There was a repetition of the starry sky illusion. Maybe it couldn't be said to be a flaw. If this was real and only the starry sky was an illusion, then it would be a normal situation.
But if this place is all an illusion, but it makes him feel so real, then the illusion in it must have profoundly confused his perception and even his consciousness.
Shado secretly cast a spell to bless himself with a spiritual barrier. This spiritual protection spell originated from the Archmage Greta is very efficient, but here, it seems that it does not play its due role.
The surrounding scene is still in this long corridor with the starry sky reflected above.
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Duo felt that even if Akora Mianwang wanted to test, it was unlikely to really affect his consciousness. Considering how much the caster valued his own consciousness, this could already be regarded as a hostile act.
And the most important thing is that Xia Duo has far more control over his consciousness than ordinary spell casters. He knows very well that his consciousness at this time has not been interfered by the outside world.
If there were such powerful psychic spells, perhaps Akora Crown King would not need to seek treatment in Netheril at all. He might be able to extend his life by his own will alone, or be reborn through reincarnation.
Although he was able to rule out being disturbed by psychic spells to a large extent, Shado still believed that the possibility of the surrounding scenes being real was extremely low.
And if you want to create such an illusory scene that is difficult for even a great arcanist to distinguish, is almost real, and can be "rendered in real time" at the same time, perhaps only Mysuo can do it.
It would be difficult for ordinary spellcasters to control such complex spells.
As soon as this thought came out, Xia Duo suddenly had the urge to slap the crown prince of Akaola. If it had been anyone else, he might have made a fool of himself.
But fortunately it’s me!
Guessing that there might be an elf or simply the King of Akora observing him at this time, Shado did not hide it and directly used the [Eye of Amasta Krinaz] taught by Master Byron.
In fact, he has long been able to adjust his perspective to observe the status of the magic network from a macro perspective without the need for spell assistance.
But since the elves want to see it, Xia Duo will show it to them, but I don’t know if they will be able to be so calm in a while.
…
From a macro perspective, the surrounding magic net shows obvious traces of artificial weaving, like a cold lake suddenly mixed with a ball of hot water.
It may be difficult to detect the difference with the naked eye, but once light enters, the distortion of light at the alternation of hot and cold is the most obvious dividing line.
The Magic Network itself is like a ball of cold water with its own light, and the Mystery Lock is like hot water. Perhaps over time, or after special modifications, the boundaries between the two sides will become less obvious.
But as long as you want to find out, there will always be a way to find out.
And Xia Duo does not lack such methods!
…
Making sure that you are already in the Mystery Lock is the first step. After all, Akora itself is covered by the Mystery Lock. The destination of Sha Duo's trip is Akora, so it is normal to have Mystery Locks around him.
The next step is to determine the details of the relationship between the surrounding scene and the mystery.
This step was not difficult for Xia Duo, and he did not even need to invade the secret lock authority. He just secretly fiddled with the tenth layer of the surrounding magic network.
Generally speaking, the process of establishing a Mystery Network is actually to reconstruct the Magic Network in an area, from shallow to deep. A wise person will transfer most of the feedback elements of the normal Magic Network into the Mystery Network system.
In other words, how to cast a spell in a normal magic network environment and what effects will occur are still the same as before in the Mystery Network.
This may be a bit counter-intuitive. If the environment is the same as the normal magic network outside, then what is the use of this mysterious lock?
This is actually easy to understand. The essence of the Mystery Lock is to change the Magic Network, and the Magic Network has a tendency to automatically recover. If such a large-scale change does not comply with the objective energy flow rules, the Mystery Lock will not be built at all.
