Chapter 1616 The meaning of the date, and then to the blue crystal
The levitation in the flight control system designed by Chateau is actually a 10th-level spell equivalent to 11th level. If calculated using the standards in the magic restriction treaty, one levitation would require approximately 6 or 7 super magic points.
A simple calculation shows that the 1,000 super magic points allocated to Netheril are enough for Shado's floating city to stay at an altitude of 1,800 kilometers for one day. (It takes about 10 minutes to free fall from 1,800 kilometers, so the suspension update
The frequency should be at least once every 10 minutes)
If the height is lower, the 1,000 points will not be enough.
In fact, it is impossible to give all of the 1,000 points to Xia Duo. What was allocated to him was just over 20 points, which may not be enough for the floating city to fly to an altitude of 1,800 kilometers!
Of course, Xia Duo can also choose not to turn on the safety function in the flight control system. In that case, even a 20-point share can be used for a long time.
But why should he risk his own life and even the life of the whole city for the malicious suppression of the elves?
What's more, even if the suspended state is not updated, there are still other places that will meet the large-scale magic activity standards defined in the magic restriction treaty.
Can one basic operation be prohibited? Should all basic operations be prohibited?
For a moment, Xia Duo doubted whether the elf had gotten into his head, otherwise why would it have hit the key point of his floating city?
Of course, it is impossible for the actual elves to get into his head. This is simply a restriction and suppression on the entire Netheril. He just happens to be in the most severely suppressed range.
However, it is difficult for him to resist. The Seven Towers in the country may not be able to deal with him (they will not break up with him), but Cormanso will definitely hold on to him in the Northland Alliance.
Maybe there will be a farce similar to "joint law enforcement".
Of course, Xia Duo didn't want to face that kind of situation, it wouldn't do him any good, but the quota limit was really stuck in front of him, making him feel like he was stuck in his throat.
It is conceivable that this feeling will last for a long time, if Netheril does not want to be targeted by the other countries of the Northern Alliance.
"Alas -" Xia Duo frowned and sighed deeply.
The flight control system of the floating city can be regarded as his proud work, especially the automated program, which almost condensed his great efforts.
How could he be willing to compromise for the elves?
Not to mention, the automation of the flight control system is related to the safety of the floating city. Although he has not actually tested it, he does not think that his floating city can withstand a free fall of 10 meters without any damage.
Xia Duo originally wanted to pull the floating city out of the blue crystal plane before the Midsummer Festival and use it as a temporary academy for new apprentices, but now, he has to reconsider this idea.
Seeing the description of the treaty's effective date in the original text of the treaty again, Xia Duo could no longer bear it, snorted, and closed the thick supplement.
The date when the Demon Restriction Treaty will officially come into effect is this year, and it is very close at hand - in July, which is the fourth day of next month.
It's less than a month from now.
Originally, it wouldn't matter to Xia Duo if the time was earlier or later, but the "Fourth of July" time is worth talking about.
The official establishment date of the Northland Alliance was July 4th last year, and the original text of the Demon Restriction Treaty clearly stated that this was to commemorate the first anniversary of the establishment of the Northland Alliance.
But what the original text of the treaty does not say is that in addition to being the founding day of the Northern Alliance, July 4th is also the founding anniversary of Comanthor.
Before the Northland Alliance was established, Cormanthor spent a lot of time and gave up a lot of benefits in the negotiations in order to set the date for the formal establishment of the alliance on July 4th.
This seems to be just a matter of date selection, but in fact it reflects the ambition of Cormanthor's Ilithel Crown King to replace the Northland Alliance with Cormanthor.
Now that the Demon Restriction Treaty is like this, how could Xia Duo not feel disgusted!
Not to mention that the Demon Restriction Treaty itself was initiated by Cormanthor, which further deepened Shado's disgust and even hatred for Cormanthor and Ilisel.
…
After reading the June supplement of the Austrian Law Federation, Sha Duo summoned Niya to say a few words, and then came to the blue crystal plane alone.
Water side.
The majestic azure sphere was under the extremely weak gravity of the blue crystal plane. Xia Duo, who had not been here for many days, could not detect any visible increase in the size of the distant Fishman Island.
Of course, after so many days, the floating city must have "fallen" towards Fish-Man Island, but Xia Duo was not interested in actually measuring how much it had fallen.
He is only thinking about one thing now, and that is whether the physical properties of the main body of the floating city are stable and whether the next step of construction can be carried out.
He has designed the flight control system a long time ago. As long as the physical properties of the main body of the floating city are completely stable, he will be able to fly the floating city in the sky of the main plane in less than a month.
In other words, as long as Xia Duo is willing, he can drive the floating city to the door of Cormanso's house before the magic restriction treaty comes into effect next month, and then carry out so-called large-scale magic activities all the time.
Although he didn't know if any Cormanthor elves would be provoked to death by his behavior, he would definitely be on the Cormanthor blacklist from now on.
The construction of the floating city will definitely continue, but Sha Duo has not yet decided whether to take it to the main plane before next month.
Anyway, there is still almost one thing he can consider, and he is not in a hurry to decide on it.
…
Perhaps the weak positive energy environment is conducive to physical stability. After a simple inspection, Xia Duo found that the current state of the floating city's main body completely exceeded his expectations.
The auras everywhere are basically invisible, which shows that its materiality has been quite stable and will not be knocked back to its original shape by a [Dispel Magic].
You must know that under normal circumstances, the influence time of spells is limited, which includes a large number of transformation spells of the transformation system.
For example, if wood is converted into gold, it may not fail in a short period of time, but it will return to its original state over time. In fact, if gold can be easily converted, it will not become a casting material for mainstream currencies.
Another example is transfiguration, which cannot permanently transform a person into a heterogeneous creature. Cases of permanent transformation can only be heard in some experimental accidents.
The spell of permanent transformation certainly exists, but it is by no means a skill that all spellcasters can easily master.
Not to mention, even if it is permanent deformation or transformation, it only means that it lasts for a long time, not that it cannot be recovered.
Generally speaking, it can be restored with [Dispel Magic], but some special cases may require corresponding dispel spells.
Of course, if the time is long enough, there may be a situation that can never be recovered, which is equivalent to a complete change in nature.
The biggest difference between the main body of the floating city obtained by Xia Duo's transformation of pure water and ordinary transformation spells lies in the length of waiting time.
It only takes a short time to wait for the physical properties to be completely stable, that is, the essence is completely changed. Unless it is transformed again, it will always be stone.
He learned this from the petrification magic on the [Saruq Witch and Snake Statue] found in the ruins of his territory. Without this spell, he might have had no choice but to destroy the environment.
Or mining and smelting metals.
In short, it will not be as simple, cheap, and easy to maintain as it is now.
