Hildalanna spoke so clearly that Xia Duo couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or a lie. However, in Nese Magic, judging from his current understanding, it seems that there is no one actively monitoring the etheric plane.
Spells.
But in any case, the caster is in a material plane such as the main plane, and is most familiar with and understands the material plane. It seems to make sense.
In the realm of planes, what spellcasters study most is teleportation, rather than cross-plane detection and monitoring.
However, after this experience, Xia Duo is planning to start a subject in this area at the Tower of Time. This thing does not need to be used, but it is best to have it.
Just like now, the four of them swaggered to someone's door, but because they didn't touch the barrier set by the other party, the other party didn't notice it at all.
This is difficult for Sha Duo to accept, even if the Tower of Time is in this state now.
Of course, being able to see does not mean that you can enter directly. This layer of barrier is actually to prevent etheric creatures like Sha Duo's current spirit form from intruding.
The same is true for the Tower of Time, but the barrier here seems to be not just a force field, but a more complex mechanism.
If there is enough time, Xia Duo really wants to stay and study it carefully. He only hopes to find relevant information in the base next!
"Ms. Hildalanna, you can start casting spells."
Sha Duo reminded.
He could do it by himself when entering the shadow plane, but he couldn't do it when entering the shadow plane from the etheric plane. At least he couldn't hide the movement of casting spells in the process.
"Come closer, I'm about to start."
Hildalanna nodded, glanced at Andalusk again, and then started to cast the spell.
Generally speaking, spellcasters will try to avoid casting spells next to another spellcaster as much as possible, as this will preserve some of the essential details of the spell being cast.
The undetectable distance is related to the perception ability of the other caster. Normally, it is relatively safe within two meters. Even if it is detected, it can only be gradually identified through the passive reaction of the Magic Network String.
And if the distance is too close, all the details of the spell will be exposed, which is not a good thing for the caster.
Not to mention the risk of the casting process being interfered with or even controlled in real time.
In fact, for Xia Duo, two meters is not a safe distance. After his latest bloodline awakening, his perception ability has almost increased to the limit.
As long as he is willing, and with the memory retrospection ability, all spell casting processes within 25 meters of him will be visible in real time and can be completely recorded by him.
At this time, the distance between him and Hildalana was only an Andalusk, not even two meters. Not to mention him, even Puman could see the other party's spell casting process.
It's crystal clear.
It's hard to say whether he can remember it completely. Chateau doesn't know much about Puman, but he can guess. There is a high probability that Puman can't recall it retrospectively, let alone remember everything.
As for when to use spells to trace back, not to mention that this place is located in the etheric plane, which is cross-dimensional and the environment itself is changeable. At the same time, Hildalanna's evasion detection spell must be overcome.
Almost impossible to achieve.
"I don't know if Hildalanna would cast a spell in front of me if she knew that her casting a spell was completely recorded by me!"
Sha Duo guessed at random. Judging from Hildalanna's firmness in this trip's goal, there is a high probability that the other party will choose to do this, but there may be some trade-offs in the choice of specific spells.
…
Soon, as Hildalanna's spell was completed, Shado noticed that the etheric fog around them began to gradually fade away. Not only the fog, but also some of the glowing backgrounds in the etheric plane gradually dimmed.
Until the whole world became dark, during this process, some changes were also noticed in the surrounding environment. The perspective of the material plane began to fade, but everything around seemed to be changed by a wonderful force and became
Very close to the material plane——
It turned into a very desolate valley, with only a few lonely twisted and exotic plants, which looked even more weird in the dim environment.
This should be the valley where the Lyle Chamber of Commerce's stronghold is located on the main plane, but the shadow plane is the shadow of the material plane and does not completely correspond to the material.
According to Xia Duo's own experience, no building remains were found, indicating that this very desolate valley in the shadow plane at this time may be the state of the valley in the main plane at a certain time in the past.
Of course, some characteristics of the shadow plane itself must be added. At least the main plane does not have those twisted and alien plants like what Xia Duo sees now.
If there are building debris, it may correspond to some possible future scene in the valley on the main plane.
If it is a complete building, there is a high probability that there is exactly the same complete building in the main plane.
The overall style of the shadow plane is decadent and gloomy. Even if the buildings on the main plane are intact, they may be dilapidated ruins corresponding to the shadow plane.
Of course, powerful magical buildings like the Tower of Time will also appear in the form of magical buildings.
Although the secret base of this mysterious organization may not be a very powerful magic building, it will at least appear in the form of a magic building. It is only because it is located underground that it has not been seen by Xia Duo and others.
Next, Hildalanna was seen walking and walking in the valley, and finally stopped by an inconspicuous rock wall, and said to Sha Duo:
"Going in from this position, after going down three flights of stairs, you will find the base of the mysterious organization! We will set up blocking spells first, and then we will return to the main plane from here to sneak into the raid."
Of course, Xia Duo knew very well that what was said to be a surprise attack might actually turn into a force attack, but as long as the target's retreat was cut off, a force attack could actually be equated with a surprise attack.
As for how to cut off the retreat, the shadow plane is the first step.
Blocking the separation of planes is actually very difficult to achieve without alerting the opponent. However, Hildalanna is not prepared to block the separation of planes. Instead, she sets up restricting spells on the periphery and uses this place as a second
battlefield.
Of course, if everything goes well, what Xia Duo is doing now may be useless, but again, it doesn't have to be used, but it's better to have it.
What if? What if there are some twists and turns and the other party successfully separates the planes?
Without these preparations, you would be dumbfounded and could only watch helplessly as the opponent uses the shadow plane to escape.
In fact, Hildalanna's plan also includes blocking astral teleportation. Unlike the popular teleportation on the main plane that uses the etheric plane as a medium, general forbidden spells cannot restrict it.
It's just that Hildalanna (self-proclaimed) doesn't have much research on astral teleportation, so the corresponding forbidden spells can only be completed by Shado.
