In a state of high mental stress during the action, Candela's true inner emotions were inevitably perceived by Shado through the spiritual link. After learning the relevant background, he had to lament that Candela was too presumptuous.
Real-time judgment on the front line, without an experienced commander, would not be as easy as it is now. No matter how powerful a weapon is, it depends on who is using it. If the user is a idiot, it will only be in vain.
Such a good weapon.
And Candela is obviously not a straw bag, he is a true elite mage among the upper elves in the elven world - not referring to rank, but referring to quality.
However, Xia Duo won't explain anything. He is not the other person's nanny. Being able to take care of the other person's safety is the limit. There is no need to care about the other person's psychological development.
…
Tanzan Peak, within the mountain.
With the light of annihilation clearing the way, Candela quickly lifted the last line of defense of the Moon Shadow family. Although the request for forbidden war spell support was rejected, this only made it more difficult to capture them alive. For the Moon Shadow family, the final outcome was already doomed.
"Stay alert and keep moving forward!"
While Candela reminded his companions through the spiritual link, he continued to summon the light of annihilation to carry out targeted attacks on any suspicious magic facilities. Since it was in a confined space, light and shadow burst out in this secret stronghold for a while.
The members of the Moon Shadow family who had been hiding for a long time finally showed up, but the attitude between the two parties was not very friendly at the beginning. Candela had just been attacked outside, so she was more vigilant now.
Almost as soon as a strange elf appeared, Candela and his companions jointly cast spells and began to suppress the opponent. The person who rushed out from the Yueying family was obviously not even a senior mage, let alone a high mage.
Even without Shado's command or the coordinated support of his companions, Candela alone was enough to handle it. However, in an instant, before the two sides could achieve substantial relief, the elf lost all available spellcasting environments.
The next moment, he was imprisoned in place by Candela and his companions.
"Report, a target has been captured."
Candela immediately synchronized this information in the command network. At the same time, he did not forget to continue to summon the light of annihilation to clear all suspicious obstacles on the way to search for the stronghold.
On the other side, Sha Duo was also summoning the elves of the Yueying family to Yongle City based on the positioning elements provided by Candela.
The next step is to skillfully make copies of consciousness and then hand them over to the Alliance. In fact, when there is already the high mage Carano, for ordinary Yueying family members, making copies of consciousness is of little value.
However, in addition to extracting intelligence and collecting information, copies of consciousness also play a role that cannot be ignored, which is that they are used to conduct research in the field of consciousness.
Although Sha Duo has been able to directly analyze subconscious information, he is not so arrogant that he thinks that he already knows everything in the field of consciousness.
In fact, he has not yet broken through the level of artificial mental models!
Therefore, collecting more consciousness samples has become an important task to support research in this field. After all, conclusions drawn only from one's own consciousness are not necessarily general enough and need to be verified from more samples.
But normally, it is impossible for Xia Duo to capture a person and collect a copy of his consciousness. Not to mention whether the other person is willing or not, even Xia Duo himself feels that doing so is very inappropriate.
After all, a copy of consciousness contains almost all of a person's consciousness information. With a copy of consciousness, as long as you have the ability to create a soul, you can actually copy a person who is exactly the same as the target but has a different self.
This is something that almost no one with knowledge of the matter would agree to. Sha Duo himself could conduct research on a copy of his own consciousness, but he absolutely did not want his copy of his consciousness to fall into the hands of others.
Applying this to others, it is naturally impossible for him to collect copies of the consciousness of the parties without their knowledge.
Of course, except for enemies.
Enemies do not have human rights or do not have the same human rights as friends. This is not only a clear rule currently recognized in the North, but also in line with Shado's own simple understanding.
You can't treat your enemies better than you treat your own people. This is obviously unreasonable.
So basically, as long as an enemy falls into Xia Duo's hands, he will try his best to collect copies of the opponent's consciousness. He will collect more copies of the enemy's consciousness if he is strong or has a special identity, and less of the others who are small.
After all, in addition to the research value, the information contained in the copy of consciousness is also a huge treasure. For high-value treasures, it is natural to collect more to ensure that you can dig them.
It is not that there is absolutely no high-value information in the consciousness of the little ones, but compared to those who are powerful and have special status, the possibility of understanding high-value information is greatly reduced.
Creating a copy of consciousness is not free of cost. At least for now, preserving a copy of consciousness must use ectoplasm materials, and they must be of higher quality.
This kind of spiritual material is usually used to make tower spirits. At the Seven Towers, a copy can be sold for at least 100,000 gold coins.
For Xia Duo, the share from the Seven Towers is different from his share. Through the division of [Spiritual Closure Blade], he can divide the spiritual material into the smallest units. The share from the Seven Towers can probably be used by him.
Divide into ten parts.
But even so, the cost is relatively high, because this type of high-quality spiritual material cannot currently be obtained through artificial synthesis and can only be obtained from killing monsters in the etheric plane.
Of course, if quality is not limited, a cheap mass-produced spiritual material that Shado had introduced from Jamdas before could be used.
Unfortunately, the quality of this mass-produced spiritual material is too low. It can indeed be used to preserve copies of consciousness, but it is only "ok". If it is really used to preserve it, the shelf life is too short.
Xia Duo uses those mass-produced ectoplasm materials more to make second-generation communication instruments. Those materials can't even meet the requirements of the computing power pool hardware (gateway instruments require high-quality ectoplasm materials), let alone preserve the complete ones.
A copy of consciousness.
Maybe we can find new sources of cheap, high-quality spiritual materials in the future, but at least there are none now. Not only Xia Duo doesn't have them, I'm afraid there's no one in the entire North who can have them.
At present, all high-quality spiritual materials come from the etheric plane and can only be obtained by hunting special creatures with psychic powers such as twisted phantoms.
The psychic material and ectoplasm material of a psionic mage are not the same thing, but it is also true that Zhamdas is one of the important sources of ectoplasm material.
