If Kalya dares to say this, then he is certainly on target.
The situation of "national elementalists" like Ixtar is indeed very bluffing at first glance. It has the momentum of thousands of sails competing for the crossing and hundreds of armies competing for the river. It seems that the kingdom of Ixtal has fully integrated magic into production and production.
in all the details of life.
However, after careful observation, it is not difficult to find that the elemental magic used by these people is rigid and routine, their control of magic is also integrated, and most importantly, the source of their magic is very special.
Even in Runeterra, energy cannot appear out of thin air.
Therefore, if a mage wants to cast a spell, he must consume magic power - an elementalist is also a mage. Normally, casting a spell consumes magic power.
But the problem is, these elemental masters who cast spells in extremely routine ways and have low level of magic control, how can they waste so much magic power?
This is clearly inconsistent with known magical theories.
After careful observation, Kalya finally discovered that the reason why the Ixtal people were able to cast spells in such a routine was because of the special elemental environment here.
Within the entire scope of Ixtar, within the element gradient barrier, the concentration and activity of elements are very high, and the level of element activation is also very high - people living in this environment are like those in the Shadow Realm.
Like those indescribable shadow creatures that can only twist, scream and crawl, they naturally possess spell-like abilities.
Of course, no matter how high the concentration and activity of elements in the environment are, and how astonishing the overall activation level is, ordinary people without magic talent do not have the basic magic power to guide magic.
In response, the Ixtal people added a large amount of magic supplements to their diet, and used acquired methods to forcibly give people the ability to cast spells in routines formed by activating active elements.
The reason why Kalya was able to discover the mystery immediately was actually very simple - due to some personal factors, he was very sensitive to the magic supplement in his diet. Humanoid dragons like Shyvana,
There may not be any obvious reaction to eating some food with magic replenishing effect, but Kalya can clearly sense the magic in food and drinking water.
After all, he also ate these things during the Shurima Empire.
So, after having a meal in this restaurant, Kalya already knew what to expect.
By increasing the concentration and activity of elements, we create an environment where elements are active, reduce the difficulty of guiding elements, and create an environment that is convenient for casting spells.
Through integrated elemental control techniques, people who cannot sense the elements can also guide the elements, thereby expanding the range of potential spellcasters.
Supplementing a safe dose of magic power through diet serves as the most basic source of magic power for people without magic power to guide the elements.
The three techniques were combined together, and Ixtar finally formed the current situation of "universal elementalist".
It must be said that this is a very clever method - to a certain extent, Ixtar's construction of the basic environment for elemental magic casting can be regarded as an "artificial elemental magic network".
However, behind this cleverness, there is a problem that people have to pay attention to.
What do the Ixtal people rely on to support this huge elemental magic network?
It's okay to say that the element concentration is high. Ixtar itself has relatively good geographical conditions, and Runeterra has many sub-planes full of active elements. If it can be guided, it is not difficult to create an area with high element concentration.
But the question is...how do the Ixtal people activate elements?
You must know that turning inactive elements into active elements is essentially building an artificial elemental tide, and the generation of elemental tides consumes huge energy!
In Kalya's view, in order to form an elemental magic network environment with high element concentration and high elemental activity that covers most of Ixtal's cities, Ixtal must completely control at least four elemental sub-planes, through precise
Only through the guidance and control of the earth can the torrent of elements from the four elemental sub-planes flow out in an orderly manner and merge with each other. Only then can the current effect be achieved.
This is no simple matter!
This kind of control involving multiple sub-planes is not only related to elements, but also to space. If you are not careful, the entire country of Ixtar will be like a toilet, in a huge vortex of elements!
To be honest, in Kalya's view, the difficulty of this kind of magical project is difficult to achieve.
Whether it is the "intersection of four different elemental sub-planes" based on objective conditions or the "artificially stable elemental tidal environment" created subjectively, in Karya's view, it is almost impossible to achieve.
As powerful as the Shurima Empire, it has discovered four sub-planes in a few thousand years, and they are all unrelated to each other; and building an artificial stable element tidal control system is probably far more difficult than
All the constructions of the Shurima Empire, except for the Sun Disk and the Monolith Fortress, are simply a spectacle.
It’s not that Kalya looks down on the Ixtar people, it’s just that with the momentum and size of this kingdom nestled in the jungle, it simply cannot support the construction of this level of wonders!
However, the elemental magic network really appeared in front of Kalya. Obviously, the Ixtar people found some more convenient ways.
This more convenient method is none other than breaking up monoliths.
According to what Ezreal said before, the Ixtal people have built giant towers of elements in Ixoken and other important cities. The concentration of elements near these towers of elements is the highest and the activity of the elements is also the highest.
According to the results of Iva's previous exploration here, those towers of elements are without exception filled with elemental contamination unique to the monolithic element.
Once things have reached this point, the result is very clear.
The people of Ixtal are dismantling monoliths as a means to increase the concentration and activity of elements in the city, and have built an artificial elemental magic network covering important areas of Ixtal, thereby achieving the grand occasion of all elementalists.
!
However, judging from the scale of this artificial elemental magic network, it seems that just relying on the decomposition of the monolithic fortress cannot sustain Ixtal for so many years - in addition to the monolith, Ixtal must have some other new energy sources.
!
And this new energy source is the key issue that Kalya needs to figure out.
……………………
The Tower of Elements is the most critical and important facility in the city of Ixtal, and it is a place where no one is allowed to enter.
Considering that the Tower of Elements itself is heavily guarded, and the flow of elements in it is very special, even Kalya cannot easily sneak into it - the Tower of Elements supports such a huge elemental magic network, even he must
Deal with it carefully.
Therefore, if possible, Kalya needs to enter the Tower of Elements in a safer way and observe it from the inside.
So, is there any normal way that allows ordinary people to enter the Tower of Elements?
some.
As long as he is willing to pay a large sum of money, as the owner of an "Elemental Dragon", Kalya is qualified to enter the Tower of Elements and baptize his Elemental Dragon with elements.
Although Kalya can do things like elemental baptism without the need for the Tower of Elements, but there is such an opportunity to spend money to enter the interior of the Tower of Elements, even if it is just the inner periphery, why not?
Moreover, there are some things that Ixtar will hide from the master who brings the dragon for elemental baptism, but he may not hide it from the elemental dragon who brings the dragon to the baptism!
So, after finishing the meal, and walking around the city with Shyvana, and generally having a good idea, Kalya left the city overnight, and then the next day, he and Shyvana in dragon form landed at the dragon in the city of Isuoken.
On stage.
Different from yesterday when he entered the city freely, this time, according to the dragon management regulations, Kalya paid a large amount of money.
When paying the fee, he asked the other party where he could request elemental baptism for his elemental dragon.
The fat man who collected the money skillfully signed and stamped an overdue receipt while glancing at Shvana.
"The quality is good. It seems that the elemental dragon's bloodline concentration is very high."
Kalya smiled and nodded.
Nonsense, how can it be better? Shyvana is a pure elemental dragon.
"For an elemental dragon of this level, it's good to have an elemental baptism." Taking the chewing tobacco from Kalya, the fat man pointed out the direction to Kalya, "If you want to have an elemental baptism in Isuoken, you have to wait.
On a good day, it's best to go before dawn, bring all the certificates of the dragon, prepare fifty gold talons for standard baptism, cash, and good quality - by the way, bring some good tea, so as not to waste time."
Obviously, this fat man was also a kind person. After taking Kalya's chewing tobacco, he also gave him some pointers.
Kalya followed the other party's method, brought everything early the next day, and led Shyvana to queue up. In the afternoon, she finally successfully passed the baptism application and was able to enter the Tower of Elements.
……………………
Shyvana was taken for elemental baptism.
Kalya, on the other hand, was waiting quietly inside the Tower of Elements with the other dragon masters.
Since the elemental dragons and elemental dragons that are necessary for elemental baptism are both extremely valuable, and the baptism itself is also very expensive, the dragon owners who can come here for elemental baptism are generally wealthy people——
Just like members of a luxury car club, while waiting for the elemental dragon to baptize the elements, most people are communicating with each other, hoping to expand their network of contacts.
Although Kalya looks a little strange due to his mask, he still politely communicates with those who come to chat with him.
However, apart from the communication, Kalya's main attention was still on observing the interior of the Tower of Elements.
Although there was a "No Spellcasting" sign posted on the wall, Kalya quietly released several small-scale detection magics.
The results of the detection are very interesting.
Inside this Tower of Elements, at least in the waiting area for elemental baptism, the concentration of elements is actually not high.
This is not the core area of the Tower of Elements.
For this, Kalya was naturally mentally prepared. After all, this was just a business that you could participate in by paying money. There was no reason for Ixtar to put these people in key positions in the Tower of Elements.
So, after sitting for a while, he got up and asked the waiter if he wanted to go to the bathroom.
Then, under the leadership of the other party, he walked through a winding corridor, entered the bathroom, and walked out quickly. Everything seemed normal.
It was during these few minutes when "everything was normal" that Kalya discovered something very interesting.
From the lounge to the bathroom, Kalya acted against the gradient of elements. While in the bathroom, he briefly tested the concentration of environmental elements. The result was a small test spell, which almost created an elemental vortex.
Judging from the distance he walked along the way, even the location of the bathroom was far away from the center of the Tower of Elements.
If we look at this situation, there may be quite an astonishing source of elemental energy in the core area of the Tower of Elements.
In addition, what surprised Kalya even more was that although the element concentration increased significantly, the unique infectivity and strength of the monolith did not change at all along the way. This was different from Kalya's estimation.
There may be something unexpected in it.
Not long after returning to the lounge, Shyvana's elemental baptism ended successfully. Kalya quickly left the Tower of Elements with her, pretending to take off on the dragon platform, and soon after flying out of Isuoken City.
Land in a deserted place quickly.
"How was the baptism process?" After landing, looking at Shyvana who couldn't wait to transform back into human form, Kalya seemed to have some realization, "Did you see the monolithic element?"
"According to what you and I described before, I carefully observed the baptismal environment." Shyvana nodded, "The entire baptismal pool is made entirely of monoliths. On the bottom of the pool, I also found the baptismal environment you gave me.
The inscription I said."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Which serial number is it?"
"The first serial number you mentioned." Shyvana said firmly, "Although the quality of the monolith cannot be seen, it does have the serial number you mentioned, the square text, and the same text you mentioned before.
Showed to me exactly the same."
"That is to say, the baptismal pool used to baptize the elemental dragon in the Ixoken Elemental Tower is indeed the No. 1 pool removed from the monolithic fortress." Kalya nodded, "This is true.
material."
"So, there is a baptismal pool on the monolithic fortress?" Shyvana was a little confused when this topic came up, "What is it used for?"
"The Monolith Fortress has a dragon formation specially responsible for guarding it, and the baptismal pool is prepared for the elemental dragons to rest." There is nothing to hide. "The Monolith Fortress is a city flying in the air, and there are naturally a large number of people in it.
Living facilities.”
Shyvana nodded, a look of understanding on her face.
She had no doubts, but Kalya was a little confused - combined with Ivar's previous experience, Ezreal's experience, the reaction of the Blade of the Underworld near the Tower of Elements, and the results of Kalya's own investigation, his
All speculations have been overturned.
After all, if the monolith is simply broken down to maintain the elemental magic network, then living facilities such as the baptistery will definitely be the first to be broken down.
However, both Shyvana's discovery and Kalya's verification of monolithic pure element infection have become negative evidence.
However, there are indeed very abnormal monolithic element infection traces around the Tower of Elements. This level of large-scale elemental infection must mean the decomposition of the monolithic element. Just normal use will not cause
This large-scale elemental infestation...
At this moment, Kalya was really confused.
Could it be that I really can’t keep up with the times?
