Arcane Lord

After discussing the recruitment matters with Captain Bill, Shado then talked about the follow-up arrangements for the "Yuanyuan": "When you return to Sevington, find Evans, and then load up the bard I asked him to recruit. The poet returns to the south."

"My lord, may I ask one more question, how many bards have you recruited in total?"

"I don't know yet. Evans is specifically responsible. I think there are probably no more than ten."

Chateau knew what Captain Bill meant. It was just that transporting ten people on a ship was too cost-effective, but he had other arrangements!

"After leaving Sevington, you take the flag of Bactria with you. Every time you pass a port or dock, stop and buy slaves. As for the number of slaves, as long as they can be brought to the south alive, the more the better."

"Yes, sir."

"Besides, I also have tasks for those bards. I'm not asking them to eat, drink and have fun all the way to the south."

"Sir, please give me your instructions——"

Shado directly took out a piece of parchment, which was part of the requirements for the literacy textbook he had prepared earlier. Shado left a magic mark on the paper and handed it to Captain Bill:

"When the ship passes Rodney's Territory, take it out. Tell those people that once the work is adopted, there will be more opportunities waiting for them in the future, so that they can create well."

"Yes, sir."

"In this case, you can rest here for a day tomorrow and return to Severington the day after tomorrow. There is no need to stop at Watch Island on the way."

"Yes, sir."

…

Seeing that night was about to fall, the lights of Hubble Harbor had already been turned on in advance. Xia Duo said almost everything he needed to say. He did not go to Hubble Harbor for a walk, but left directly from the ship.

You might not notice anything when it's still bright, but once it gets dark, the powerful light source at the top of the watchtower is hard to ignore.

Teleporting back to Watch Island, standing on the higher southwest cliff where the Watch Tower is located, Xia Duo had a panoramic view of the northeastern part of Watch Island.

Looking at the surrounding sea area, it was like daytime. He finally had a bleeding feeling in his heart. Is this the effect of one hundred thousand gold coins every year?

The effect is really outstanding!

But this is such a waste!

…

Returning to the watchtower, Sha Duo immediately came to the top floor where the Positive Energy Pool and the Blazing Sun Array were located. After a simple inspection, he found that the Blazing Sun Array was almost directly connected to the Positive Energy Pool.

Of course, if you want to shine, you not only need positive energy, but also need the cooperation of the fire element, which is transmitted through several mithril lines that go directly to the four-element pool in the middle of the watch tower.

It is indeed a lighthouse!

At the same time, Xia Duo also noticed that the positive energy pool was always not full, and since it had been so long since the afternoon, he probably speculated that the upper limit was probably this much.

And the fire element pool is probably the same!

From now on, whenever these two kinds of energy are needed, the consumption of the Blazing Sun Array needs to be taken into consideration. If too much is used, causing the "light bulb" outside to go out, it may be a very troublesome thing.

Then Xia Duo continued to conduct a further detailed inspection of the Blazing Sun Array.

The result was as he expected. The Blazing Sun Array was essentially a three-layered array. In layman's terms, it meant one for use and two for backup.

But this is different from the Tower of Time's different ring-level equivalent backup arrays. Here are just three identical sets of 9-ring arrays.

In the middle are three standard arcane crystals, which serve as the energy buffer core of the triple array.

Among them, the arcane crystal that is participating in the operation of the Blazing Sun Array has begun to emit bursts of radiance from the inside out.

This is not a normal phenomenon, but a situation that occurs after the arcane crystal undergoes elemental transmutation to a certain extent.

If it continues to be used, it may not be far from an explosion.

"This is really not good news!"

However, Xia Duo did not switch to the three-layer magic circle immediately. He has not yet fully understood the principles of the Blazing Sun Magic Circle. Acting rashly may lead to more serious consequences.

…

Next, Xia Duo decided to postpone the comprehensive inspection of the watch tower, and instead focused the inspection on the four element pool, the positive and negative energy pool, and the blazing sun array.

Once the status of these things is clarified, the entire Watchtower will no longer be discussed.

After eating something in a hurry, Xia Duo began to check and record the specific structure of these magic circles. This process, with the quick and convenient recording spell of [Transcription], did not happen until dawn the next day. Completed.

Throughout the night, Xia Duo stayed at the main control level, recording a total of more than 200 pages of drawings, and this was only half of the structure of the four-element pool array.

While having breakfast, he realized that what he was doing was too inefficient. Understanding the structure of the magic circle was only the first step. Later, he also needed to extract and sort out the magic elements. This step was the most tedious.

It is indeed necessary to sort out the physical documents and files, but now, he can completely carry out these steps in his consciousness, and maybe he can be more comprehensive by sorting them out afterwards!

The ability to trace memories is not an ability that Sha Duo has had since he was a child. Sometimes he had to take some detours before he thought of actively using this ability.

However, once you think about it, the efficiency begins to take off.

Regarding the four-element array, he gave up directly. Although the record of the night could not be completely formed into a paper file, the relevant details already existed in his memory.

After breakfast, Xia Duo went directly to the locations of other magic circles to make accurate observations and memorize them. As a result, before noon, he was already sitting in the lounge, starting to study the structure of these magic circles and trying to extract relevant spells from them. elements.

…

"Xia Duo, the ownership transfer procedures for Watch Island have been completed. I am going to see the teacher again before returning to the southern border."

Niya's sudden message made Xia Duo, who was immersed in thinking about the core array of the Watch Tower, very angry. He was thinking of a key point at this time, but he didn't expect Niya's message to come at such a coincidence.

Fortunately, his memory tracing ability can trace back all the details when his thinking was interrupted, otherwise he really doesn't know how to retrieve the traces of his thinking at that moment.

"I'm here at the Watchtower. You don't have to worry. When the exploration of the ruins is over, I will return to the southern border and help me take care of some Daxia territories."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

…

After finishing the conversation with Niya, Sha Duo was about to continue his previous thoughts, but unexpectedly another message came, "Mage Sha Duo, the exploration team is ready. Shall we go to the Tower of Time now?"

The messenger was Master Rodit. Sha Duo suppressed the irritability rising in his heart and waited for a few seconds before replying: "I am on Watch Island now. I will tell you the access key to the Watch Tower teleportation circle later. , you can just come to the watchtower.”

After the interrogation was completed, Xia Duo immediately left the lounge, went to the teleportation room, and began to adjust the relevant settings of the teleportation array, the most important of which were opening teleportation and calculating the pass key.

Without the tower spirit, he would have to do every step himself.
