Arcane Lord

After passing through the portal, the blurry picture that was originally seen only on the portal mirror suddenly became much clearer, but it was not completely clear, and it was still like a veil covering the eyes.

The fog that I saw on the other side of the portal before was just this layer of gauze. Everywhere I looked, there were hazy hazes of red, green, yellow, and blue, purple, and other colors formed by a mixture of multiple colors.

But this kind of light mist is like a forest in the early morning. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and is dispersed by the mist in the forest to form a neon scene.

Although the colors are colorful, they do not affect actual vision. If you stare at a certain place deliberately, you will not even notice the influence of these hazy lights.

This situation made Xia Duo think of clouds, but compared to the mist here, which has a stronger sense of existence and is almost difficult to ignore, the clouds are more misty and cannot be seen with a little attention. Only occasionally inadvertently Only then can you get a glimpse of its appearance.

Xia Duo's cloud vision is to be able to check the status of clouds at any time, and is not affected by the ethereal nature of the image.

As for the hazy light and mist in the ruins here, he did not observe it on the spot. He could not make a very accurate judgment only through the sensory information shared in the spiritual link by Rodit and others in real time.

From the current point of view, these mist are more like a natural phenomenon, similar to normal wind, rain, etc., and the root cause behind it is far from touching the magic network.

However, this phenomenon is obviously different from the natural phenomenon in the normal environment of the main plane, which can only mean that the plane environment here is different.

Judging from the fact that the spiritual link has not been affected, the ruins are not in an alien plane. Perhaps it is just that the current plane environment has been interfered with and mutated.

Shado had previously speculated that this relic might be the product of a failed demiplane experiment, but now it seems that it is really possible.

——"There is no need to rush into the mage tower. You should each observe the surrounding environment. The focus is on the state of the magic network!"

Sha Duo issued instructions in the psychic link, and then Rodit and others followed suit. Almost at the same time, more information about the foggy environment outside the ruins poured into the psychic link.

The location where Rodit and others were at this moment was actually in the middle of the fog. Not far away was a tower-like building with an obviously damaged appearance.

Further away and behind Rodit and others relative to the mage tower, the farther the distance, the thicker the colorful hazy light and mist will be, and the sense of presence will be stronger, but its brightness will gradually dim.

All the way to infinity, it turned into a huge screen that was pale but occasionally shimmered with colorful light. This huge screen covered the sky and the sun, and seemed to wrap up the entire ruins.

According to the information provided by Rodit, if they gradually enter the ruins from the outside without teleportation, the first thing they will find is a forest shrouded in the hazy light and mist they are seeing nearby.

In other words, the pale giant screen is actually the different results of hazy light and mist observed by observers at different distances.

Nearby, there is a hazy light haze that has a low sense of presence and does not affect vision, but in the distance, it turns into a pale giant screen that has a strong sense of presence and blocks the line of sight.

And from what Rodit said before, this place was regarded as a place of exile by a Langas tribe, which meant that there was an invisible barrier between the foggy area and the outside world that seemed non-existent, but actually had a huge influence.

Once you enter the fog, even if you only take one step, you may face the risk of getting lost.

…

As for why Rodit's relic hunters were able to enter and exit this place repeatedly without risk of getting lost, after analyzing the status information of the magic network in the foggy area shared by Rodit and others in the spiritual link, Sha Duo could guess one or two. .

In fact, this was already revealed before Rodit and others were able to enter here through the portal.

The foggy area, which is the peripheral area of ​​the ruins, is not an independent space that is relatively separated from the main plane. This is the main plane.

However, after analysis, Xia Duo found that the magic network strings in this area had functional deficiencies when it came to elements related to the etheric plane.

Although Rodit and others' observation and measurement of the current status of the Magic Network did not directly involve elements related to the etheric plane, they provided quite a few feedback samples of elements.

Through the equivalent transformation of the Magic Network String, these element feedback samples are directionally transformed into elements related to the etheric plane, and it is easy to obtain information related to the etheric plane.

In fact, it was not just the etheric plane, Shado also verified the relationship between this place and the inner plane. Unknowingly, Rodit and others had actually determined the coordinates of the current area for him.

It's just that they don't know it yet.

Of course, Rodit may have no intention of hiding the location of the ruins at all.

As for the relationship between this area and the etheric plane, it is actually very simple. It is very likely that it completely overlaps with the etheric plane.

In other words, this is both the main plane and the etheric plane.

…

Since he did not go there in person, this conclusion was only indirectly inferred by analyzing the status of the magic network observed and measured by Rodit and others, as well as the feedback results of some spell elements.

Chateau is very confident that this conclusion is correct, but he does not rule out the possibility of accidents. If he wants to draw a conclusion that is as accurate as possible, further verification is needed.

Although he can indeed use the spiritual link to direct Rodit and others to cast spells to verify, but the knowledge of the plane field is so precious, how can he show it to them so easily!

You must know that even Shado himself has not been able to obtain much knowledge related to the plane field from Giles Tower or even the Arcane Federation.

Most of his current understanding of the plane field comes from the projection plane, especially the most recent projection plane [The Birth of Cormanthor].

The lifelong experience and knowledge of many high elf mages in [Sword of Dominion] cover almost everything, giving him an unprecedented opportunity to recharge.

If he had not obtained the [Sword of Dominance], even if Shado became a senior arcanist, he would still have to make deals or even compromise with the Seven Towers because of his chosen future research direction - knowledge related to the plane field.

How can it be so easy now!

Of course, there is another way, which is to read the [Naise Scroll] and then study it on your own, but to be honest, Xia Duo has also read the Naise Scroll. The preciousness of the Naise Scroll is actually more reflected in its records. There are a large number of different magic systems for researchers to refer to and draw parallels from.

As for the specific knowledge, from his current perspective, it is somewhat superficial. Of course, this may be because the part he read at the time was relatively superficial, and there were more advanced ones later.

But no matter what, the knowledge related to the plane is very precious, and it is impossible for Xia Duo to pay for it when he has not gained anything from exploring the ruins.

Furthermore, he had already made a preliminary judgment, and further verification would feel like the gain was not worth the loss.
