After moving a few times to get used to the main body, Xia Duo started casting spells directly under the light ball in the projection hall. This is why he has such authority as the tower master's agent.
No one else, not even Ai Burke, can cast spells at will here.
The spell that Xia Duo chose to use to break through the fourth layer of the magic network was [Mage Armor]. As a mage, one cannot overemphasize one's own protection.
[Mage Armor] below level 3 is enough for ordinary people, but mages face not just ordinary people, or in other words, only mages can be opponents of mages.
In the past, Xia Duo upgraded [Mage Armor] from level 1 to level 3. The only idea was to increase the strength of the force field. For example, at level 1, [Mage Armor] could not even withstand the cutting of sharp swords.
Buffer it a little.
But when it reaches level 2, it can already withstand bursts of arrows, and when it reaches level 3, attacks from ordinary people can basically be ignored.
For the 4-level [Mage Armor], Shado's idea is to integrate other protective spells, such as the more targeted [Protection from Energy Damage], [Resist Energy Damage], and even the further field of elemental balance.
Previously in the projection plane, Xia Duo had already made a complete 4-ring plan, so as soon as he came out, he would use it to contact the fourth level of the magic network.
Level 1 [Mage Armor] only has 18 basic elements (including 12 on the surface of the magic network and 6 on the first layer of the magic network). In other words, you only need to perform 18 specific operations on the string of the magic network to successfully cast it.
Get out the 1st level [Mage Armor].
The 2-level [Mage Armor] has 36 basic elements (including 12 on the surface, 12 on the first layer, and 12 on the second layer). The difficulty of casting spells is greatly increased, but these elements are not without rules. The spell structure is in a sense
It is a rule and a way to assist memory.
At the higher level of the spell structure, various spells, gestures, graphics, etc. can be used to assist memory. Only through a multi-pronged approach can all the elements of a spell be memorized.
The higher the spell level, the more components it consists of. Generally speaking, the shallow elements of the magic network can be replaced by fewer deep elements, and vice versa.
But if a 9-level spell is expressed in shallow elements, it may be an astronomical figure. Even in theory, a junior mage can release low-level spells equivalent to 9-level spells, but in actual operation, it may be
Not that ideal.
Of course, if it is really released, then this junior mage can also use this spell to see through the nine layers of the magic network in one step.
In fact, Xia Duo has never heard of such a mage. Even if there is, without theoretical knowledge, then he is just a delicate toy with no practical value.
What's more likely is that he unintentionally activated the string of the magic network on the ninth floor, and killed himself directly as a result.
At present, Xia Duo can only break through the magic network layer by layer. He has never thought about reaching the sky in one step. He will only dare to advance as much as he has the theoretical foundation!
The 4-ring scheme of [Mage Armor] was developed by him in order to access the fourth layer of magic network. Since there is no fourth layer element, it needs to be replaced with a large number of shallow elements.
Without a full understanding of the nature of the magic net and the principles of magic, no one would dare to play like this.
There are nearly two hundred basic elements in total, and the most commonly used one is the third layer of magic network strings, accounting for almost half of all basic elements.
There is no need to keep all these complicated intermediate spells in mind. In fact, Shado started casting spells against the arcane geometric figures on the spell notes in front of him.
If it is an ordinary note, you need to keep turning pages in the middle, and this is based on the solid foundation of "Arcane Geometry".
Sha Duo has practiced the process of casting spells many times in the projection plane, but he just couldn't access the next layer of magic net there, so he came back!
"Buzz——" An invisible armor appeared on Sha Duo.
Thanks to the study of "Arcane Energy Principles", Sha Duo has a deeper understanding of energy. In addition to absorbing a certain amount of energy damage, this 4-ring plan also optimizes the original spell structure, making this thin layer
The protective force field becomes more powerful.
This is similar to an iterative upgrade of technology, even the previous low-level [Mage Armor] can benefit from this!
And at the moment when the spell was successful, Xia Duo's consciousness was instantly elevated. It was not a substantial elevation similar to that of astral projection, it was an elevation of vision and cognitive level.
At that moment, he saw the essence of the Magic Network from a higher perspective - a majestic, magnificent and complex structure full of energy, spread across the sky and the earth.
He himself, and the Tower of Time he was in at this time, existed in this magnificent structure, and the strings of the magic network connected everything and intertwined with each other.
The next moment, Xia Duo's consciousness fell back to that of a mortal, and all the previous invisibility disappeared. Only the fourth level of the magic network had opened its arms to him.
But Xia Duo doesn't want to experiment with the fourth level of the magic network at this time. He just wants to know if the projection plane is still there!
"Ta Ling, does the projection plane you searched for before still exist?"
Xia Duo still vividly remembered the situation before this projection. After being reminded by the tower spirit, he teleported to the projection hall for projection without any hesitation.
After he came back, he implemented the 4-ring plan as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, he was still a step too late. The most time-consuming part of it was his spell casting process, which took about 20 seconds.
Calculated in this way, this projection plane only existed for about 10 seconds. (Main plane time)
Xia Duo was a little disappointed that he could not catch up before the projection plane disappeared, but subconsciously, he still felt a sense of relief from the bottom of his heart.
The next moment, a wave of fatigue hit him. Xia Duo thought about the last time he performed astral projection and then slept all day long. In addition to this, there may be traces of time that need to be paid attention to again.
He asked the tower spirit to teleport him back to his residence, then found the bed and fell asleep.
…
the next day.
Xia Duo woke up from his deep sleep and stretched lazily. When he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar Tower of Time style roof, and what he felt with his body was that it was nothing compared to a tree house.
How many times as many beds.
"That's right!" Xia Duo jumped up from the bed. He unbuttoned his clothes, summoned a water mirror, looked into the mirror, and tried to recall his body appearance "a year ago".
After spending more than a year in the projection plane and returning to the main plane, all this time will be reflected back on the main body. However, his consciousness has been away from the main body for a long time, making him a little blurry about the details of the body.
It’s really hard to see the traces of time between one and two years.
There is also the influence of bloodline. After awakening the bloodline, the impact of age on appearance becomes smaller. This is somewhat similar to elves. An ordinary elf can live hundreds of years, but will not age rapidly until the end of his lifespan.
Xia Duo suspected that awakening the bloodline meant becoming an immortal species to some extent, but unfortunately, he had not seen any books about the lifespan of a bloodline warlock in the Tower of Time.
Otherwise, he can use the projection plane more boldly to obtain an almost time-accelerating effect.
