Arcane Lord

Rodit and others did not choose to give up in the end, which avoided the confusion that would be difficult for both parties to settle afterwards.

Through the spiritual link, Shado also knew the reason for Rodit's choice. He informed his father, Lord Collins, about the situation of the ruins and his choice.

It is similar to the behavior on Earth of sending WeChat messages to parents to inform the driver and vehicle information before taking a taxi.

Rodit's operation left Xia Duo speechless for a while. He still didn't believe him! Moreover, Lord Collins must have known about his involvement before. If he did this again, it would really feel like a murderous act.

For a moment, Xia Duo regretted interpreting the information from the spiritual link!

"By the way, Lord Shado, the ruins area cannot be teleported directly. Do you want me to go out and pick you up?"

"No, I have my own way!"

After that, Xia Duo activated the teleportation circle. After a sharp vibration of the magic network string, the scene in front of him changed.

Xia Duo looked at the surrounding environment carefully. This was the first time he had teleported to a non-preset location through the teleportation circle, and he always found it a bit novel.

But no matter how novel it is, this is the location where Rodit triggered the portal today. It has only been two or three hours since the portal disappeared.

There is still some spiritual light left here.

If you are a spellcaster who is proficient in teleportation spells, you may be able to find the target area linked to the portal. Of course, for Xia Duo, who already knows the location of the ruins, it will also be easier for him to determine more precise coordinates.

But as Rodit just reminded, general teleportation spells cannot be directly teleported to the ruins area. The reason is, of course, because most direct teleportation spells use the etheric plane as the medium.

In the ruins area, the etheric plane and the main plane completely overlap, so it is impossible to use the etheric plane to teleport directly.

Of course, the portal does not affect it. The principles of the two are different, although they both use the etheric plane.

The portal is more similar to folding the main space. As long as the starting position and the target position do not completely overlap with the etheric plane at the same time, it does not affect its use;

As for direct transmission, even though it seems to be instantaneous, it actually takes a certain amount of time and is transferred through the etheric plane or, more accurately, the [ethereal layer].

As long as one of the starting position and the target position completely overlaps with the etheric plane, it cannot be used.

…

Shado naturally mastered the portal spell. He originally obtained this spell from Master Higgs in Morien Tower at an exchange meeting.

However, this time he was not going to use the portal, or to be more precise, he was not going to use the portal using the etheric plane as a medium.

He was going to try a new spell. It was the portal spell used by the Archmage Warwild of Giles Tower when he summoned a group of participants for a rehearsal not long ago before the Princess's Ascension Ceremony and sent them to the demiplane. .

That teleportation spell does not use the etheric plane as the medium, but the astral plane as the medium.

In this way, even if the element of the Chord of the Magic Network related to the etheric plane is banned, or there is something wrong with the etheric plane itself, such as this time the etheric plane and the main plane completely overlap at the ruins, this spell can still be used as usual. Teleport.

At the same time, compared to the transmission spells of the etheric medium, which have two forms of expression: direct transmission and portal, the transmission spells of the astral medium also have these two forms of expression.

Archmage Wo Huaide demonstrated and used the portal form at that time, while direct transmission was a more basic form, and Sha Duo also mastered it.

However, since the direct transmission is not instantaneous and the probability of accidents is much greater than that of the portal, Shado did not use the more concise direct transmission here.

Instead, he chose the portal.

Basically, as long as the portal is successfully established, it is almost equivalent to a successful transmission, which is equivalent to knowing the transmission result in advance.

This is perfect for Xia Duo, who is willing to try new spells but is unwilling to take higher risks.

"Now let me see if the abnormalities in the etheric plane will affect the transmission through the astral plane!"

Xia Duo has an extraordinary memory and is very proficient in basic spell casting. Even new spells that have not been used for a long time are not too unfamiliar.

He skillfully manipulated the strings of the magic web in front of him to weave it into a spell source point in a specific order and structure. As the energy circuit was completed, a rather strange portal appeared at the spell source from scratch, from small to large. Click the set location.

This portal is different from the fuzzy mirror form like the ethereal plane media portal. The portal using the astral plane as the media is more like a mist without entity.

It's like the original hazy light and mist of the etheric plane in the ruins!

But what is different from that hazy haze is——

The color distribution of the light mist in the astral media portal is very even, unlike the ether fog where a certain area is often the same color.

Moreover, the colors of the astral mist are also brighter and full of presence!

Xia Duo cannot explain this phenomenon for the time being. It can probably be regarded as some kind of phenomenon of the nature of the world leading to the same destination through different paths.

Although this mist-like portal looks very strange, just like the regular ether media portal, you can also see the blurry scene on the other side.

Even because of these evenly distributed bright and colorful light haze, the scene on the other side of the portal looks clearer than a regular portal.

Of course, this is just the effect of looking directly with the naked eye. If you cast the detection spell that is matched with the portal, you can see the scene on the other side more clearly, almost as if you are actually there.

Since he was trying a new spell, Sha Duo naturally wanted to go through the entire process.

Continue to cast spells to detect the situation on the other side of the portal. It is indeed very clear, almost as good as directly projecting the perception field to the opposite side.

This advantage is not obvious when the transmission distance is relatively short, but if it is a cross-dimensional transmission and cannot directly project the perception field, then this advantage will be very obvious.

…

The opposite side of the teleportation gate is at the edge of the square in front of the mage tower in the center of the ruins. It is slightly different from the teleportation target set by Sha Duo, but this will not have much impact on his actions.

Stepping into the portal and pulling to the ruins area, Sha Duo immediately felt a feeling that was completely incomprehensible through the spiritual link——

Like the call of the wind and water elements!

This feeling comes from Sha Duo's own physical instinct, and it is impossible to feel it just by relying on the sensory information of Rodit and others in the spiritual link.

In other words, compared to the less accurate observations and perceptions of the ruins area by Rodit and others, when Xia Duo arrived, he discovered information that Rodit and others had not discovered——

This area can't help but completely overlap with the etheric plane, and the connection with the inner plane seems to be quite close, far beyond the normal state of the main plane.
