Arcane Lord

At the same time, Savile Town, the site of the Tower of Time.

This is where the Tower of Time and the portal of Savile Town are located. In order to protect the portal, a semi-permanent camp appears here, and soldiers are stationed day and night.

Dean is still here by Chardonnay, and he has been holding the communication artifact the size of a human head and has not been encapsulated. The mithril structure gleams in the sun, plus the energy core that is fixed by the lock. Five-color gems.

Although the soldiers stationed around do not have magic vision and cannot see magic auras, just looking at it from the perspective of ordinary people, this laboratory version of the communication tool is outstanding.

From time to time, soldiers cast curious glances, not only at the viewer, but also at Dean, wondering what the mage is doing here, and how he looks a little silly.

Just when Dean was uncomfortable being seen by the soldier next to him, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of him—

"start testing"!

Dean was taken aback by the sudden appearance, and almost threw the communication artifact in his hand, but he quickly reacted and knew that it was Chateau who was informing him.

So Dean activated the communication artifact somewhat clumsy but not badly, and then selected the twin mark, projected the text "Test 1", and activated the spell. The aura on the communication artifact rose a bit, and then dimmed again.

On the other side, somewhere in the north, over the forest.

Xia Duo held the communication artifact in his hand, waiting anxiously, and was always paying attention to the surrounding situation.

After using the 2nd [Background Communication] to notify Dean, Xia Duo's heart has been hanging. In addition to worrying about the unknown existence that may appear at any time, he is also worried about the failure of the test.

After a while, the communication device in the palm suddenly lit up, and then a line of text "Test 1" was projected.

This is the test method agreed upon by Chateau and Dean before. Chateau sends test commands here, and Dean only sends test sequences to check the communication effect and whether there is any "packet loss".

The first communication was in good condition, and Chardonnay did not find any unknown existence like the great arcanist Byron before it suddenly appeared.

I immediately felt a little more relaxed.

Then the test continues, "limit triple test"

——"Test 2", "Test 3", "Test 4"

The three messages are delayed, about two minutes or so. This is the time required for the spell to "reload". Of course, it can also be regarded as the "cooling time" of magic items.

If magic items want to be reused, in addition to the element cycle created by [Magic Invariant Technique], magic items made with Mithril structural parts must use energy cores.

Of course, the role of the energy core does not lie in its own energy, but in the excitation, exchange, and circulation of the energy transmitted from the magic net.

This is a bit like the automatic loading principle of modern firearms, but here is the use of the residual energy "underfire" after the spell is activated to "load" the spell again.

In theory, magic items can be used unlimited times.

However, considering that the Mithril structural parts carry energy and the energy core circulates energy, elemental changes will occur, which will reduce the purity of the Mithril and the five-color gemstones. Actual magic items have a shelf life.

If you use it too many times, it will break down later.

Of course, the higher the purity of Mithril, the higher the degree of tolerance used as an energy core (Ao Neng Crystal is very useful), and the longer the service life will be.

As for the "reloading" time, it is actually related to the casting environment. Since it is a magic item for casting, it is different from a creature with subjective activity like humans and requires a relatively stable casting environment.

Simply put, it takes time for the magic net to calm down after the spell is cast. If you ignore this, the magic item will "protest", and the "protest" usually comes at the cost of damage.

Chardonnay does not need to do the "exceeding the limit" test for the time being, just test a normal limit communication interval.

Two minutes would be very unaccustomed for people on earth who are used to instant messaging software, but for a native master of Nether, it is very quick.

Moreover, the shorter the use interval, the higher the frequency of use, and the easier the service life to drop.

If you want to do instant messaging with a low usage threshold, you still need a huge external system to support it, and it is difficult to achieve a single communication tool.

Xia Duo didn't have any ambitions in this area for the time being, so he made a wave of low-cost communication tools.

...

The test continues-

"Return to the Tower of Time"

After a while, Dean heard "Test 5". Although theoretically only an extremely calm magic net environment like a spell laboratory can block [background communication], when he actually received information from inside the wizard tower, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a question also arises. Does this mean that there is a loophole in the defense of the Tower of Time?

Or in the future, only a fixed communication area will be reserved in the Mage Tower, while the magic net environment in other areas will be reshaped to shield external signals?

However, there is no need to consider this for the time being. After all, [Background Communication] is not an electronic signal for hackers to invade, and Mage Tower is not an electronic device that can easily be usurped.

Next, Chateau let Dean enter the various areas of the Tower of Time to test specific communication conditions.

After some tests, only the two areas of Arcane Garden and Spell Lab completely blocked communication, and other places also affected communication more or less, such as distortion, dimness, and blurring of projection~www. ltnovel.com~ Due to Dean's limited authority, Chateau could not contact Taring temporarily. Of course, even if he was contacted, Dean could not go to some places.

Generally speaking, Xia Duo is quite satisfied with the test results, after all, it is his own work!

...

Returning to the Tower of Time, Chateau took back the communication artifact in Dean's hand, and then began the last test-the real limit test.

Once every two minutes, I used it uninterrupted until Xia Duo ran out of patience and failed to use this laboratory version of the communication instrument. It seemed that it was still possible.

However, the test must continue. Xia Duo himself didn't have the patience to use the artifact to break it, so he sent the test task through the Taring to the "Jinxue".

As long as the person who is marked as "Jin Xue" in the Tower of Time can see this task, whether it is an apprentice or a formal mage can accept it. The only limitation is that the task location can only be in the task management office.

After sending both communication instruments, Xia Duo just waited for the results.

However, during this period, he was not idle. The human head-sized communication artifact was still a bit big after all. If the "encapsulated" crystal material is included, it would be very inconvenient to actually use.

It is only natural to shrink it slightly.

In addition, "encapsulation" also needs to be tried several times, which is different from the laboratory version. At this stage, Mithril is Mithril and five-color gemstones are five-color gemstones. The two sides are only connected by locks.

The packaging is to use other materials, such as cheap gemstones such as crystals, or even metal, wood, to seal the mithril and five-color gemstones to play the role of beauty, protection, and encryption.

Once the encapsulation fails, the Mithril and the encapsulation material are mixed together, and it is not so easy to separate them.
