Chapter 3346 The temptation to delay is in full bloom
After Chateau sent the message, it took Bundy nearly ten seconds to reply:
"Well, I'll synchronize it, but the progress - I'm sorry, we really don't have a very safe way to deal with that ritual. We can only risk destroying it, or find a way to seize the dominance of the ritual, and then calm it down little by little."
Bondi's answer almost made Xia Duo scold him on the spot. He was disappointed that he only got this result after giving enough computing power pool resources.
However, Sha Duo's anger calmed down a little after seeing the research progress of the time-related magic laboratory that Bondi had synchronized with.
It turns out that the Time-related Magic Research Laboratory is not just studying the ritual elements of Teardrop Lake, but is trying to restore all the details of this Illuminati variant of the time-related ritual by combining the detection feedback from other real time-related signal sources.
This is undoubtedly the best for the overall situation, but it is not a good thing for the specific sources of local time-related signals and the field personnel responsible for handling those events.
Xia Duo hopes that he can take care of both sides and do both well, but unfortunately, this question seems to be a single-choice question.
"Let's synchronize information first!" Xia Duo said after two seconds of silence.
Bundy didn't say anything about this. Everyone knew what the current situation was, but some words didn't need to be said so clearly. Soon, Bundy had reported all the research progress of the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.
While Xia Duo used his brain to digest quickly, he also combined it with his own thinking to try to find a better way out for the field personnel on the other side of the Teardrop Lake instead of having to risk his life to stop the enemy's ritual.
.
It's a pity that even the time-related magic laboratory has not been able to find a reliable solution, and of course Shado can't complete it immediately by standing here alone.
He could only try to find as many ways to survive as possible for those field personnel, but the strategic goal would not change, which was to capture, kill or force to death the hidden ceremony leader.
…
Teardrop Lake, shore.
The mages who arrived later took out the psychic detector that Shado had previously summoned with the help of the first team to summon the void warehouse. While maintaining the detection spell, they suddenly activated the psychic detector.
This is a psychic detector that focuses on the field of life detection. For life, or more accurately, all intelligent creatures with thinking activities, it has a detection effect that far exceeds that of most arcane magic.
In just a moment, Xia Duo received feedback from the detector from the spiritual link. In addition to the 2nd Casting Team who were still testing, there was also an intelligent creature at the bottom of the lake. The location was——
Beside the golden altar!
Almost at the same time, the Spellcasting Team 2 began to interfere with the ongoing ritual. Although it was not possible to safely cancel the ritual for the time being, there was still no problem in interfering with it.
Spellcasting Team 2 is a group of mid-level mages. Even with Xia Duo's command, it can only support two or three archmages at most. However, the spellcasting threads that can be opened at the same time, that is, the spellcasting sequences that can be performed at the same time, can exceed three.
indivual.
There are almost as many threads as there are members. However, the more threads are divided, the less effective the effect of coordinated spell casting is. It is equivalent to the dozen or so mid-level mages making soy sauce here.
Of course, Xia Duo would not spread the threads too thinly. He would at least maintain a spellcasting intensity above level 8, otherwise he would not be able to threaten this ritual at all.
Of course, the process of interfering with the ritual does not require the casting of a complete 8-level spell, or even elements above 8 levels. Instead, the most appropriate judgment needs to be made based on the actual situation of the ritual.
It is almost impossible for a ritual to be destroyed by just one spell or even one element, even if the mysterious lady comes in person, because most rituals are designed with redundant structures.
On the one hand, it is to facilitate coordinated spell casting, and on the other hand, it is to avoid the consequences of the failure of the entire ceremony caused by spell casting errors.
If a certain element or even a certain link of the ritual is damaged, there is usually a way to remedy it. It is not like a magician's personal spell, where mistakes can easily lead to various accidents.
Spells cast by individuals can actually be designed with redundant structures, but this will further increase the difficulty of spell casting and the most important casting time, while ritual spells do not have this requirement.
Because most ritual spells are designed for coordinated spellcasting, and there is no rush in terms of time, it is not uncommon for some very large rituals to last for an entire day.
For example, when Shado built the floating city, because the mystery lock needed to be created at once, he chose to let the Tower of Time mage share the spell casting task, but this would take several hours!
At the moment, in the square under the lake, the 2nd Spellcasting Team is only equivalent to a few parallel-imported masters. It’s just that the minds of these parallel-imported masters are controlled by Xia Duolai, but the shortcomings of the spellcasting itself can be completely made up for by thinking.
Fortunately, Xia Duo did not expect the actions of the 2nd Spell Casting Team to achieve any significant results, as long as they could slightly restrain the ceremony leader who had been discovered by the psychic detector.
…
Due to the interference received by the ceremony, and the process of each interference is very clever, this has undoubtedly created a threat to the ceremony host who regards the completion of the ceremony as the goal.
But this guy seems to be very proud of his hiding ability. Even though the 2nd spellcasting team has clearly demonstrated beyond its own spellcasting ability (mainly thinking), he still did not choose to run away, but thought about continuing to complete the ritual.
If you want to complete the ritual, you need to eliminate interference, so the two sides started an alternative spell showdown.
At the same time, Xia Duo, who was at the alliance headquarters, was constantly urging Bundy, "The new changes to the ceremony have been passed on to you. Take the time to study them. I can only buy you one or two more minutes at most. No more."
The guy is about to react."
One or two minutes of research time is undoubtedly not enough for a complex and changeable ritual spell, but as Sha Duo said, it is really impossible for him to give more time.
Furthermore, the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory has received all-round computing power from the computing power pool, and there are also high-ranking mages among the researchers there.
Although affected by the civil strife in Yeerlan and the rumors of drow, as well as the recall of various countries, the number of high-ranking mages has been reduced by nearly half compared to its heyday, but it is still regarded as the strongest research team in the main plane.
Those researchers have no shortage of thinking acceleration spells to speed up research, and even time acceleration spells are not impossible. After all, Shado's time acceleration spell originally came from Everesca in the projection plane.
It was originally a spell that could slow down the flow of time. It was used in the research of Arcana Rabbit. Later, Shado took it to the main plane and researched and enriched the spell that can speed up the flow of time to borrow time from the future.
Of course, these two spells only affect the flow of time in an area, slowing it down or accelerating it, and it is absolutely impossible to reverse it.
