0765The true strength of the academic mage

Time Mystery Lock is a good skill. Under the abnormal flow rate of time in the area, many things that cannot be done under normal circumstances can now be done easily.

Accelerating time and decelerating time at will can give Kalya more time to prepare for experiments and less waiting time when conducting experiments - more importantly, Kalya can quickly make decisions on certain key steps.

reaction to prevent the experiment from getting out of control.

This kind of control is what Kalya lacks most now.

Since Malzahar started the action in advance, Kalya naturally did not have time to conduct detailed experimental preparations. Now that time is limited, he can only take one step at a time.

And this kind of "one step at a time, one step at a time" experiment has always been the most challenging thing for academic mages!

If handled carelessly, the self-destruction program might be triggered on the spot, and Kalya and Kiran would be physically crushed on the spot.

However, even so, Kalya still smiled and looked relaxed.

This is not because he is big-hearted, but because Kalya himself...is the strongest academic mage in the Shurima Empire.

Academic mage, this is a very interesting profession.

They specialize in the research and development of magic theory, and are completely different from the fireball masters that ordinary people think of.

If anything, these academic mages themselves are actually closer to scholars—among the Dharma Protectors, most of the members who lead their own project teams can be classified as academic mages.

In the Shurima Empire, there was once a joke.

"How to tell the difference between an academic mage and a combat caster?"

"Throw a fireball at him. The former will try to analyze the fireball's spell model and build a defensive barrier that can perfectly annihilate the flames; the latter will casually summon an ice wall, water ball, sandstorm, or simply capture the fireball.

control."

"Sounds cooler?"

"Of course, catching fireballs with your face, wouldn't that be cool?"

Although this joke is full of stereotypes about "academic mages who like to drop their books and are not good at actual combat", it is not groundless in essence.

According to the occupational classification of the Shurima Empire, mages are people who use magic as a tool. Although academic mages are not good at fighting, they have a very high social status - as researchers, their results are the work of other spellcasters.

The learning direction is also the theoretical basis for many magic projects, and it is an upstream profession.

As the most powerful academic mage in the Shurima Empire, Kalya has always been regarded as the "founder of the Shurima Empire's magic system."

For every Shurima spellcaster who has attended school, Kalya's writings can be said to have accompanied them all the way from childhood to adulthood.

From introductory magic popularization works such as "Amazing Magic", "Elemental Dolls" and "One Hundred Thousand Mysteries", to magic learning works such as "Introduction to Elementary Elements", "Magic Encyclopedia" and "Five Years Simulating Three Years of Spellcasting";

From "Elemental Tides and Engineering Magic", "Special Applications of Magic in Architecture", "Subdivided Surfaces of Magical Turbulence" and other magic engineering applications, to "Introduction to Advanced Elements", "Time and Space Conjecture and Plane Theory", "Macro Tides"

and Some Conjectures on Microscopic Turbulence" and other professional theoretical works.

Kalya's name will always appear on the desk bookshelf of every Shurima spellcaster in one way or another.

Sometimes it's the author, sometimes it's the reviewer, sometimes it's the recommender.

Whether it is magic theory or magic application, Kalya has extremely high talent and experience.

Therefore, even though there are many differences between the original axiom system and Shurima's traditional magical theoretical structure, with the help of Kiran, Kalya's speed in analyzing these Kalya's legacy is still very amazing.

Although there is only less than fifteen minutes until the next group of patrols arrive.

But in these short fifteen minutes, Kalya recreated a small version of Kalya's Legacy in his hands at a ratio of one hundred to one.

Kieran and he were old acquaintances, and Kieran was well aware of Kalya's theoretical abilities.

But even so, when he saw the model of Kalya's Legacy in Kalya's hand being erected on the ground, and black stones began to condense on the top at a speed visible to the naked eye, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He had cooperated with Nezuk before, but he knew very well what price Nezuk had spent in order to study these Kalya legacy.

But in just fifteen minutes, Kalya completed the model reproduction!

"It's not that simple." Seeing Kiran's doubts, Kalya smiled and shook his head, "These things... are far more complicated than they seem. I am just an imitator, standing on Nezuk's shoulders.

Just go up."

"Even if that's the case, it's amazing enough."

"It's still far away." Kalya shook his head, "I just reproduced the part that I have completed the analysis, but the next thing is the key point - only by getting the rest done can I fully control these monoliths."

"But the patrol is already here."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Kalya waved his hand, "Malzahar's side should have cut off the warning system to the outside world in the restricted area. Thanks to him, we can act a little more arrogantly now."

"Okay." Kieran glanced at the direction where the patrol was about to arrive, his eyes seeming to penetrate the curtain of time, "So, how long do you need?"

"That depends on how long Malzahar prepares his followers." Kalya smiled, "If you have to say it, the longer it is, the better!"

……………………

With the second patrol lost in the turbulence of time, Kalja quickly began the second phase of his experiments.

At the same time, Malzahar, who was far away in the office, was still preparing to turn off the alarms with great fear. According to his plan, in order to protect the believers from cultivating void worms, he would have to turn off at least three waves of alarms.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the fourth alarm is not triggered, he will be ready to run away, because that means the self-destruct system is about to be activated.

However, what he never expected was that the alarm in the restricted area was only triggered once, not the second time.

Malzahar obviously didn't know that there was a third party secretly involved in this operation, and he never imagined that when he finally escorted the Void believers and Void insect species into the restricted area, intending to poach the corner of Kalya's Legacy, he had already

Two big guys started to act in sync.

From Malzahar's perspective, the absence of a second alarm only means one situation——

That is, the void believers who entered the restricted area have completed the cultivation of void insects several rounds in advance. If there is no alarm, it means that they need to evacuate.

Of course, this is a purely theoretical situation.

But in fact, without receiving an alert from the second patrol, Malzahar would only be confused.

It shouldn’t be!

Even if the void insect species carried by the void believers is a rapidly evolving type and can quickly complete shell breaking, growth, iteration and death with the support of earth hernia, there is no reason to complete rapid iteration in fifteen minutes, right?

You know, the task Malzahar gave them was to "cultivate a group of void worms that can adapt to the environment of the ruins of Ixtar".

The purpose is to turn this place into the second Icathia as soon as possible after the Legacy of Kalya is destroyed.

In order to achieve this goal, Malzahar has even prepared for iteration delays, at worst, intercepting a few more warnings.

But I never expected that just once, the warning would stop!

According to the previous plan, once the warning stops, Malzahar must evacuate quickly - which means that believers operating in the restricted area will directly trigger the self-destruction program within a quarter of an hour.

Therefore, a difficult question was placed in front of Malzahar.

Should we start evacuating now?

If the patrol over there is delayed and he evacuates rashly, those void believers will be betrayed, and his vest will be completely useless, and he will have to draw water from a bamboo basket.

But if the iteration is completed ahead of schedule and he does not evacuate, then Malzahar will be buried by the self-destructed Legacy of Kalya in Isuoken, and the gain outweighs the loss.

A dilemma was placed in front of Malzahar.

Fortunately, Malzahar is no ordinary person.

Without thinking for too long, he quickly made the decision to evacuate - even if the believers died, the insect species were gone, and the vest was useless, it would be better than dying here.

I am the Prophet of the Void, and I shoulder the mission of guiding the great monitor into Runeterra. I cannot fall here!

Therefore, Malzahar, who had been "retreating" in the office for many days, directly packed up his things and chose to leave the office.

Since the retreat route had been prepared long ago, after Malzahar left, he took a shortcut to Longtai, rode directly on his personal elemental dragon, and took off on the spot under the pretext of "having official business to do" without any hesitation.

Heading towards the south in a hurry.

He planned to go to the vicinity of Icathia to avoid the limelight, and then come back after the self-destruction of the Legacy of Kalya was completed and the city of Ixoken had been reduced to ruins.

At the same time, according to the previous plan, those believers and void insects will also go south to join him - and then stage a perfect return of the king when Ixtar's people are panicked!

However, what Malzahar didn't know was that although the recent struggles in the Ixtal political arena had become increasingly fierce, and he had always been extremely neutral, his departure did not attract much attention from the Ixtal people.

, However, in a courtyard in Isuoken City, a man and a dragon were keeping surveillance on him.

Seeing Malzahar packing up and leaving, Jax and Shyvana immediately took action.

After confirming that he was indeed heading towards the Dragon Platform and preparing to leave on the elemental dragon, Jax and Shyvana quickly followed!

Since Shyvana has a very complete identity certificate and landing record, even though she did "appear out of thin air", Longtai also arranged a take-off space for her.

So, almost as soon as Malzahar set off, Jax and Shyvana also set off.

At the beginning, Malzahar didn't notice the problem.

After all, this is Iso Oken, and it is completely normal for an elemental dragon to take off at the same time.

However, as Shyvana began to actively track her, and as Malzahar headed south, Malzahar finally discovered that something was wrong.

Ixoken is originally located in the south of Ixtal, and there are very few cities further south. According to my flying speed, it won't be long before I enter the territory of Icathia.

But why is there a dragon flying south behind?

Don't elemental dragons hate the breath of the void very much?

Malzahar had never met Jax or Shyvana, so he didn't know their identities. However, because his route south was too remote, he changed his route several times, but then he changed his route several times.

After meeting Shyvana, he was completely convinced that the dragon was coming for him.

So, here comes the problem.

Under what circumstances would an elemental dragon follow you closely?

In other words, who would choose to send elemental dragon riders to follow them at this time?

After several accelerations and still not getting rid of it, Malzahar had a vague guess in his heart - in the recent political situation in Ixtal, the struggle between conservatives and radicals has reached its most intense moment, and the Ten Princesses, who were extremely public before,

Qiyana has become the center of the whirlpool.

This tenth princess has always been known for her eclectic approach. It is said that no matter what the identity of the other party is, as long as it is useful to her, she will do her best and even use any means to win over him.

In addition, Qiyana also has her own dragon farm, where she has tamed many excellent dragon species that are rarely seen in ordinary times.

Therefore, after some thinking, Malzahar believed that the person following him was probably a subordinate of the Tenth Princess.

After all, when he was "retreating" in the office, the tenth princess frequently tried to get in touch with him, and subsequently chose to keep others under their watch, which was not unexpected.

And since the one who came was under the command of the tenth princess...

That little tail still needs to be dealt with.

It would be troublesome if he saw something he shouldn't have seen - Malzahar didn't have much experience in aerial combat. Looking at the nimble figure of the elemental dragon, if the opponent insisted on running away, he might not be able to stop him.

Liveable.

So, thinking of this, Malzahar decided to stop and wait for the other party to approach him.

Once the opponent gets close, Malzahar can stabilize him with words, and then take it down with a sneak attack!

Malzahar believes that no one can resist the gaze of the void!

However... although Malzahar's idea is good, Jax and Shyvana remember their mission very clearly.

Watch, not fight.

So even if Malzahar slowed down and waited for Shyvana to come closer, Shyvana had no intention of approaching.

Even when Malzahar started to control the elemental dragon to hover in place, Shyvana also started to circle in place simultaneously, with a synchronized explosion.

Malzahar can no longer be punished now.

What's going on?

Why haven't Qiyana's men come over even though I've shown a willingness to communicate?

Are you really just watching from a distance?
