Hearing this, Sha Duo suddenly felt enlightened. If ordinary magic is compared to the base pairs with specific pointing functions in DNA, then the Mystery Lock is an entire DNA chain.
A single base pair change may produce genetic mutations, but for the entire DNA, it is harmless. There are enough redundant mechanisms to balance out these mutations to maintain the stability of the entire chain.
(If the base pairs change too much, it may be that the entire DNA chain has collapsed, corresponding to the collapse of the mystery lock)
In other words, the Mystery Lock is a huge system composed of a large number of ordinary spells with specific complex functions.
This is actually the difference in magnitude. No wonder the starting requirement for setting up a mystery lock is a high-level mage!
Based on this, Xia Duo immediately made a more reasonable conjecture. Mystery lock technology is likely to be an important symbol of a magical civilization's technological maturity.
Behind such a huge system project, it naturally requires a complete set of theories, as well as personnel training, resource supply, transformation and utilization and other systems to support it!
From this perspective, the ancient elves were indeed quite powerful, but it was a pity that each generation of elves today was not as good as the previous generation. Xia Duo guessed that the breakthrough or even maintenance of certain technologies required the existence of a large number of high-level mages.
The Crown War lasted for thousands of years. Even if the elves were immortals, several generations had passed. While the elves lost a large number of people, they also lost countless high-level spellcasters, so that a large amount of magical knowledge was lost or could not be used.
This is somewhat similar to the country to the north of Xia Duo's hometown. After the transformation and separation, they have been eating the capital of decades ago. They may not want to develop, but they are powerless and can only die slowly.
From this point of view, the decline of elves may be an opportunity for the rise of humans.
…
While Chateau was thinking, Master Byron was still explaining the true secret of the Enchantment:
"We normal spellcasters are in the magic net, just like fish living in water. How can we detach ourselves and see the entire macro structure of the magic net and change it?
"Therefore, one of the most basic elements of the Mystery Technology is to obtain a macro perspective on the Magic Network. Without this perspective, any impact on the Mystery can only be superficial, and cannot directly penetrate into the essence.
“The more you do it, the more confused you become. This is the real reason why many Mystery ruins can still be left behind after they fail or are destroyed!
"It is because the essence of the Mystery Chain in the macroscopic Magic Network structure has not been erased. Only through long-term repair of the details of the Magic Network can we gradually and indirectly get involved in the essence, and finally completely erase the influence of the Mystery Network."
Xia Duo also thought of this. Although "a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest", what about time? What about energy? If ordinary arcanists want to repair the magic network environment in the ruins of Mysuo, they must have mastered the secrets of Mysuo.
Countless times that of an arcanist.
Even if you really master the key technology of the Mystery Lock, you may not be able to let ordinary mages participate in the repair, instead of having to use arcanists.
The elves do not have arcanists, but Shado has not heard of any place in the elves where there are Mylock ruins. All the Mylock ruins he knows are located in Nese.
Elves may be the technology to quickly remove traces of mystery locks.
This is feasible in theory. Even if the Mystery Lock can permanently change the macrostructure of the Magic Network, then wouldn't changing it back to its original state be considered as erasing the traces?
Just like an object was originally painted with green paint, then it was painted with red paint, and finally it was changed back to green paint. Isn't it the same as before?
…
"I will now teach you the elves' unique spell to see the macroscopic structure of the magic network!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Duo immediately became energetic. Not to mention anything else, this spell alone was worth his risk!
But then Byron asked a question that seemed quite strange under the circumstances: "How well do you master Elvish?"
How do you master Elvish? Is this spell still a native Elf spell?
Such a thought flashed through Xia Duo's mind, and then he quickly replied in Elvish: "Quite proficient!"
"Hey, he still has an Ellan accent!" Byron was a little surprised. You must know that the dominant Elvish accent in Netheril in recent decades and even centuries has been the Cormanthor accent.
After all, among the elven kingdoms surrounding Netheril, Cormanthor has the greatest influence and the most related actions, so the Netherese people are often affected.
Of course, there is another reason that has not been explained clearly, which is the weakening of the relationship between Erlan and Netheril. This started after the [Scroll of Nese] was discovered and the Nese people collectively gave up on elven magic.
Of course, most of the older people like Byron, especially those who have studied with Congenio, still speak with an Erlan accent.
This is why Shado noticed that Byron's accent had Erlan characteristics, so he specially changed it. In fact, he was more accustomed to speaking the ancient Elvish language he learned from the [Projection Plane, Maierita, Sukanvisa City].
After all, that was his earliest exposure to Elvish.
…
After confirming that Shador Elvish was well mastered, Byron began to describe the elements of this special spell in Elvish. This was indeed a native Elf spell.
It’s not that there is no Nese magic version, but that the Nese version was transformed and transformed by Randall, and he must also give Randall a certain amount of respect.
In principle, even ordinary mysterious lock information cannot be disclosed to people outside the Seven Towers.
But Byron himself is wandering on the edge of the Seven Towers. He is Princess Shia's teacher. He is nominally a member of Giles Tower, but he has no clear affiliation. He is just acquiesced. The same is true for Shado.
Pioneers, or lords, can be classified into the Seven Towers camp, but it is difficult to say that they are directly under the Seven Towers. Some lords are not even in the Seven Towers camp at all.
After all, in the Severington Parliament, the lords and the Seven Towers are legally equal. If it can get the support of the majority of people, it may not be impossible to change the seven-tower-dominated structure of the Seventon Parliament.
Mystery lock technology originally came from elves, and it does have confidentiality requirements, but now it has been known to Byron, a "marginal person" in the Seven Towers, so it would not be too foul if he revealed it to another "marginal person".
Who makes Byron himself the Grand Arcanist and the maker of rules?
But after all, it is the decision of the Grand Arcanist. The limit that Byron can reveal is the original data provided by Ilfarang. All the results that have been researched by the Seven Towers. If it is revealed, it will be a real foul.
Although Randall or Seven Towers may not mind, Byron is a very self-disciplined person.
Therefore, when talking about the specific technical details of the myth lock, he completely switched to using Elvish language, and he also mainly used the original information provided by Ilfarang.
