Chapter 1274: 【Summoning-Sealing】Magic Array

~8 min read 1,469 words

It doesn't matter even if you don't actively save it!

In fact, the process of receiving Wisdom from the 【Wisdom Gem】 is a process of information exchange; Xia Duo has personally used the 【Sword of Ruling】, so he knows this very clearly.

Therefore, in Elf society, there is the saying, "Wisdom Gems are passed down as family heirlooms."

That is to say, a family's most precious wealth is a long-inherited Wisdom Gem, which means it contains a massive amount of knowledge and experience; every user can draw the wisdom of their ancestors from it!

As long as he can summon the 【Sword of Ruling】, Xia Duo can not only update the new content from the past thousand years within the 【Sword of Ruling】, but he can also cause panic for the Crown King.

The symbol of royal power has been summoned away by someone; without retrieving the Sword of Ruling, or figuring out why someone is able to summon the Sword of Ruling, the so-called "Great Search," barring any accidents, should be unable to continue.

Of course, it is also possible that it will cause the Great Search to proceed immediately, and gather all the power of Cormanthor for a thunderous sweep.

However, that would be none of Xia Duo's business; he did indeed create a major incident as Yilisi said, but whether the people above can handle it, that is their problem, and has nothing to do with Xia Duo.

Besides, this Plane could experience a Time Loop at any moment; Xia Duo truly lacks the energy to play it safe and struggle slowly until he reaches resurrection spells, so he must be slightly more aggressive.

This can also be considered a rehearsal for summoning the 【Sword of Ruling】 in the Main Plane.

Regardless of whether this kind of ultimate weapon can be used, at least he should have it first!

……

Xia Duo learned the method to summon the 【Sword of Ruling】 during the previous 【Projection Plane: Cormanthor Birth】.

Even the original creator of the divine sword could not know the full picture of this secret; only the owners of the divine swords know the summoning methods for their respective divine swords.

However, among the three Elf divine swords, only the 【Sword of Ruling】 has a Wisdom Gem on it; even if the other two divine swords were summoned, it would not be of much significance.

More crucially, there is only one chance for this kind of thing; once the owner of the divine sword becomes aware, this trick will no longer work.

Additionally, the 【Sword of Ruling】 can only be held by an Elf; non-Elves basically cannot even touch it, and one must also guard against the summoning of the Cormanthor Crown King.

Therefore, if Xia Duo wants to actually occupy that divine sword, he still needs to prepare measures for suppression and sealing.

Compared to the act of summoning itself, how to handle it after the summoning is the real difficulty.

……

After wandering within the borders of Cormanthor for a while, and avoiding the sight of potential investigators, Xia Duo soon left the range of the Mythallar.

Afterwards, he did not contact Yilisi, but instead found a random cave on Wolf God Mountain in the south, far away from the Empire ruins.

After driving away the wild beasts in the cave, Xia Duo began to craft the Magic Array used to suppress and seal the 【Sword of Ruling】.

Because he was in the wild without various auxiliary facilities, he could only cast spells himself to replace the almost indispensable Alchemy Array.

Fortunately, when searching the ruins of Seventon before, he subconsciously collected quite a few supplies; originally, these virtual supplies would turn into Void after he left the Projection Plane, but using them here is putting them to good use.

Among them, the most valuable is a pool of Mithril he found in the ruins of a Laboratory warehouse at the Research Institute; it should have been stored in ingot form, but due to the influence of chaotic Magic, it melted all over the ground like ice cubes.

When Xia Duo found it, it was still in a liquid state with a small amount of crystals, but after collecting it, it turned back into a solid state.

A preliminary estimate is that there is nearly a thousand pounds; if this were placed in the Main Plane, its value would be immeasurable.

But in the heyday of the Arcane Empire, which had both Mithril Mines and refining technology, this was just a slightly more precious metal.

Besides Mithril, there were also large amounts of gold, Silver, Gemstones, Crystal, and other various materials; as a core department of the Arcane Empire, the Research Institute was definitely not lacking in supplies.

And this was even after being swept through once by the Empire Remnants; if Xia Duo had been the first to go, his harvest would have been even more bountiful.

What he has obtained now was either missed by previous searchers or was inconvenient to process and take away.

For example, that pool of Mithril looked like it wasn't much, and ordinary Spellcasters would find it very difficult to collect in an environment with a riotous Magic Net, so it ended up being a bargain for Xia Duo.

He has a Personal Space and does not need to consider conventional methods of collection or harvesting; he just leaves everything to the Personal Space.

……

The light in the deep cave was very dim, and Xia Duo used a Spell for illumination, which also led to a result: it made his sensitivity to time decrease.

This is different from being in a Mage Tower, where there is a Tower Spirit or others to remind him; the reminder of the 【Magic Moment】 was truly too weak for Xia Duo, who was wholeheartedly devoted to the production of the Magic Array.

Only when he was hungry, thirsty, or tired to a certain degree would he realize the passage of time, but after he finished eating, drinking, and resting, he would throw himself back into work.

Just like that, time flew by to eight days later.

The lack of auxiliary facilities made Xia Duo waste a lot of time and energy, but he still overcame all difficulties and completed a relatively sealing Magic Array.

Completed along with it was the summoning Magic Array; if it were just to summon the divine sword, then casting a spell directly would also be possible, but that would mean Xia Duo would have to face the rampaging divine sword and the immediate counterattack of the Cormanthor Crown King alone.

By combining the summoning Magic Array with the sealing Magic Array, he enters the sealing procedure at the same time as the summoning, avoiding the divine sword being summoned away by the Cormanthor Crown King or being used as a tool for Spellcasting.

At this moment, what is displayed before Xia Duo is a summoning Magic Array that looks like an altar, or a sealing Magic Array would also work; the two are one and the same.

The altar is divided into upper and lower layers; the lower layer has a larger area, almost a low cylinder with a diameter of one meter, with the main body shaped from Silver, and a large number of Mithril threads embedded inside.

The upper layer has a slightly smaller area, but also has a diameter of nearly half a meter, with the main body shaped from gold, and a large number of Mithril threads also embedded inside.

Between the upper and lower layers is a Five-Colored Gem used as an Energy Buffering core; Xia Duo did not find an Arcane Crystal in the ruins of Seventon, so he had to settle for the next best thing and use a Five-Colored Gem.

However, out of habit, he also reserved a position for installing an Arcane Crystal.

Currently, this set of 【Summoning-Sealing Array】 has not yet been linked to the Magic Net; as long as there is an Arcane Crystal, it can be replaced immediately, which is very convenient.

As for why it has not yet been linked to the Magic Net, it is mainly because Xia Duo wants to try to see if he can get a batch of supplies, including Arcane Crystals, from the Vengeance Tribunal.

The Magic Array is almost finished; if there are no accidents, he should be able to successfully obtain the 【Sword of Ruling】.

But his own safety cannot be guaranteed; relying solely on a one-time Huiwei Tanshi Spell cast by himself, it is very difficult to truly avoid the search of Cormanthor.

Especially when it involves the 【Sword of Ruling】, which is the symbol of royal power and the foundation of rule, the Cormanthor Crown King will absolutely not let the matter rest.
