Chapter 1351: Utilization of Personal Space, Borrowing the Path through Yierlan
Obviously, a Teleportation Scepter made this way will likely only be usable once; if one wants to use it more times, it is also very simple: use higher purity Mithril and use an Energy Core with a larger buffer capacity.
Xia Duo currently satisfies both of these conditions; the Mithril was refined by himself, and for the Energy Core, he directly used a Standard Arcane Crystal sufficient to buffer a normal 10th-Ring Spell.
This way, at least a few test opportunities can still be saved!
He would not dare to use something untested casually!
……
The production process was unremarkable, being nothing more than the standard production flow—manufacturing the Mithril Component, installing the Energy Core, Link Magic Web, and encapsulation.
The encapsulation material Xia Duo chose was Silver, mixed with a little Adamantine, and the final finished product was a silver short rod about a foot long, faintly revealing a hint of blue.
The rod body is smooth, with a slightly larger diameter ring at the bottom, which can prevent it from slipping out of the hand when used as a physical striking weapon in an emergency.
As for the top, Xia Duo did not make any overly complex design, simply shaping it into a slightly blooming, simple-looking lotus flower, about the size of a fist, which can be used to smash people in an emergency.
However, he did not think he would have many opportunities to use this thing, which looks like a lotus bud but is actually a 【Teleportation Scepter】, to smash people.
If it truly reached such a critical moment, he would likely not be far from death.
……
While testing the 【Teleportation Scepter】's ability to actually break through blockades, Xia Duo suddenly thought: if he could research a Teleportation Spell that uses his Personal Space as a transit medium, would it ignore any blockade?
To this day, he has not yet discovered any place where the Personal Space cannot be used!
Even in the illusory Projection Plane, the Personal Space can be used just the same, and one can even store items that are equally illusory from the Projection Plane inside it.
It is just that once one returns to the Reality plane—not necessarily the Material Plane, including the Astral Plane—those illusory items will dissipate.
If he could really utilize the Personal Space in this way, then from then on, he would never have the worry of being ambushed again.
Even if he ran into an enemy's lair, he could calmly transfer away at any time; such mobility would bring him unprecedented deterrent power.
Being unable to restrict departure also means being unable to block entry; just think about a nuclear bomb suddenly appearing in one's home one day—that scene, not to mention how refreshing it would be.
But how can one apply the Personal Space to a specific Teleportation Spell?
This is a bit like pulling on one's own hair to make oneself fly.
The Personal Space exists within Xia Duo's consciousness, although he can freely control the Personal Space to overlap with the Plane to store and retrieve items.
But wanting to use things other than consciousness (such as Spells or Magic Items) to contact or Link Magic Web the Personal Space is something Xia Duo cannot do for the time being.
Not only can he not do it, but he cannot even think of any assumptions or ideas that might make it possible.
The Personal Space is truly too mysterious; Xia Duo's understanding of it now is not much more than his understanding when he first discovered it.
Just those few points—
One can store and retrieve items at will, one can manifest virtual items from the Projection Plane into the Reality plane (at the cost of space shrinking), and one can fill it with specific energy to expand the space (Arcane Crystal, Soul (Sarrukh Mage-Serpent Statue, Hunter Corpse received from the Astral Plane)).
If he could contact the Personal Space through means other than consciousness, that would mean a brand new world opening its doors to Xia Duo.
Just what he can think of includes—unlimited teleportation, an absolutely safe warehouse (to the outside), a sanctuary, and a neutral ground (which can be used for communication between multiple parties who do not trust each other but need to communicate).
And even a true private world capable of supporting life and the development of civilization.
Xia Duo has a premonition that as long as he continues to explore deeply in the Plane Domain, he will sooner or later find a way to truly utilize the Personal Space!
……
After testing the Teleportation Scepter, time had unknowingly reached late at night; after hesitating slightly, Xia Duo stepped onto the Teleportation Array returning to the Tower of Time.
In the next three days, besides waiting for the Magic Technician to produce the 【Demon-Slaying Amulet】, Xia Duo also re-arranged a Laboratory for himself with specifications that could be called the highest in the Tower of Time.
The purpose, of course, was to study the Mythallar—the production material, the material projection of the Magic Net String that he had officially named "David String" onto elements.
After returning from Evereska, Xia Duo would have to assist Iolum in related experiments; now he just happened to have time to familiarize himself with it first, to avoid being caught off guard when the time came.
Iolum telling him about this a few days in advance might also have been with such an intention.
……
When a person is fully devoted to something, time passes very quickly; before Xia Duo had even felt it, Niya told him that he should go to Seventon tomorrow.
Three days just slipped away silently and unknowingly.
In these three days, the Magic Technician of the Tower of Time did not live up to Xia Duo's expectations, producing a full 20 Demon-Slaying Amulets, counting those produced during the day on the day Xia Duo returned.
Together with the previous 25, they had already gathered the 52 pieces needed for the Adventurer order brought by Evans.
With Niya, Aiboke, and Depake helping with the final completion process of the semi-finished products, even if Xia Duo was obsessed with research related to the Mythallar and did not participate in it at all, it would not delay tomorrow's delivery.
"Niya, thank you; if it weren't for you, I might have forgotten about this!"
The matter Xia Duo spoke of referred to both the fact that he was going to Seventon the next day and the Demon-Slaying Amulet matter, but Niya had no interest in the thanks Xia Duo expressed; she just clung tightly to Xia Duo, whispering tenderly:
"One more time!"
Hearing this heart-stirring urging, Xia Duo immediately threw Seventon and the Mythallar to the back of his mind, but in the midst of extreme pleasure, he also thought again of the issue of offspring that Niya was increasingly concerned about.
"Perhaps I really should put the Assisted Reproduction Magic on the schedule!"
……
Early the next morning, as soon as Xia Duo got up, he received a Sending from Iolum, reminding him to gather at Giles Tower at noon and then travel together to Yierlan.
Transferring from Yierlan to head to Evereska.
Regarding this point, Xia Duo had actually anticipated it long ago; in terms of actual geographical location, Yierlan is actually further away from Netheril.
But because there is no formal and public Portal link between Evereska and Netheril, one can only walk through the Portals of other countries.
Flying directly over is of course also possible, but Elf Kingdom generally have Mythallar coverage, and even a small city-state country like Evereska is no exception.
Being blocked outside the Mythallar is only one aspect; more importantly, doing so is too rude and too lacking in status.
As for why it is Yierlan, that is naturally because the relationship between Netheril and Yierlan is closer now; in the past, perhaps they would have transferred through Yierlan.
