Chapter 1550: Indifferent Reaction, Calming the Magic Net

"Lander, what exactly is abnormal here? Does a Magic Net riot count?"

"A Magic Net riot counts, but it is not the main thing; the true anomaly is here—"

As he spoke, Lander created a Magic Image among the group. Looking only at its form, it was roughly a status map of this Ether Overlap Region, but it specifically marked the connection relationship between the boundary of this region and the Ether Plane.

"Explain it, then. You know me; I've never had any interest in the Plane Domain."

Lander rolled his eyes at Huo En. Even if Jilan Tower focused on the Bloodline Domain, he did not believe Huo En knew nothing about common knowledge of planes. If that were really the case, this guy could never have become a Controller of Jilan Tower.

"The Magic Net riot can be quelled, but the connection between this region and the Ether Plane will not be easily severed. I suspect it might be that the spell Master Iolum used to create the dead silence zone went out of control, and under various coincidences, it caused the current situation."

"Then is there no way to restore this place?"

"Of course it can be restored. Even if we do nothing, it will return to its original state in no more than a hundred years at most. If we intervene actively, this time could be even shorter."

Having said this, Lander dismissed the Magic Image, turned to Iolum, and continued: "However, I think the Master reminding us of the anomaly here probably has some deeper meaning!"

"Correct. I do indeed have an idea, but this requires the assistance and support of the Seven Towers."

"Master, please speak—"

"I intend to build this place into a Forward Base reaching deep into the Ether Plane after the Magic Net environment here settles. I presume the Seven Towers knows better than I do how many benefits the Ether Plane holds."

After Iolum finished speaking, he paused, seemingly to give Lander and the others time to think, or perhaps simply to observe the attitudes of the three.

The interests of the Seven Towers are not entirely aligned. If he could persuade these three before him, Iolum was confident he could also persuade Badijiaer; that would be four out of seven.

As long as Fenweike and Nasif Tower did not strongly oppose it, then this matter could be settled.

It was just that after the three, Lander and the others, exchanged glances, they did not give any positive response, but instead quickly changed the subject:

"We cannot make decisions for others on this matter. We will give the Master an answer after we go back and discuss it. Regardless, let's restore the Magic Net here first!"

Although Iolum did not have much interaction with the current Controllers of the Seven Towers, he could still hear the faint tone of rejection in Lander's words, and for this, he could only sigh inwardly.

"Then let's quell and repair the Magic Net first!"

……

The six Great Arcanists acted separately, and their efficiency was naturally far beyond that of ordinary Arcanists, especially since Xia Duo discovered that among the three from the Seven Towers, besides Huo En, Lander and Hadelaien had both mastered the Macro Repair Method.

And not the Micro Repair Method most commonly used by ordinary Arcanists.

The efficiency of the two is almost worlds apart. The former starts from the macro structure of the Magic Net and goes deep into the micro, which can almost be considered the most ideal method for repairing the Magic Net.

As for the latter, it simply starts from the micro, repairing the Magic Net String one by one. Not only is the efficiency low, but in the end, it is almost inevitable that dead silence zones that are difficult to repair will be left behind.

This is like untangling a ball of yarn. The macro method can oversee the whole situation and know the direction of each thread, while the micro method only stares at one thread—it would be a miracle if it didn't end up in a knot!

It is just that in the past, Netherese Mages had less understanding of the macro Magic Net, far less than the Elves who had long been able to build complex Mythallars.

That Xia Duo could master the Macro Repair Method was also because he had obtained knowledge related to Mythallars in the Projection Plane, which allowed him to summarize it himself.

As for the Seven Towers, they already had the ability to build Mythallars in Seventon, so it was not surprising that they had mastered the Macro Repair Method.

The six people acted simultaneously, and it took only two short days to reduce the Magic Net riot in this Ether Overlap Region to the extreme.

Except for some damage that could not be fully repaired, only the Magic Net layers from the surface to the third layer were still slightly vibrating.

But basically, as long as one is careful, even an Intermediate Mage can move around here normally.

Of course, during this period, Luowei was sent by Iolum to the Great Temple to recuperate, and apart from Xia Duo, the other five had all left a few times to varying degrees.

The Seven Towers even changed personnel in the end. The arrival of Haruisi from Nasif Tower not only failed to speed up the repair, but because he kept asking Iolum for Elf Statues and even frequently harassed Xia Duo and Buluode for this reason, the repair progress was far worse than at the beginning.

Two days later, it was not that they could not continue the repairs, but that Iolum really could not stand Haruisi, and he did not want the Seven Towers to work for free, so he simply ended the repair work early.

Afterwards, Iolum scolded Haruisi for quite a while in front of Xia Duo and Buluode. Xia Duo summarized it simply, and it was roughly these two sentences—

"Incompetent at fighting externally, expert at fighting internally" and "always favoring outsiders"!

Although the contact was for a very short time, Xia Duo felt that Haruisi was somewhat unworthy of his position, which reminded him of Li Hongzhang from his hometown's modern era, who thought he could mediate for the world but actually did a bunch of stupid things.

Perhaps this was the survival strategy of Nasif Tower, but this really made Xia Duo dislike it.

……

Iolum's Study.

The master and his disciples gathered together again. Even Luowei, who should have been recuperating at the Great Temple, came. This guy did not have any hidden dangers left in his body, he was just a circle thinner than before.

But his spellcasting ability was almost completely lost, and from a Senior Arcanist with strength and status, he suddenly became an ordinary Intermediate Mage.

Not to mention the Arcane Fire; when the will cannot reach the deeper Magic Net, that part of the Arcane Fire structure combined with the will will naturally detach.

An Intermediate Mage cannot possibly possess Arcane Fire, and Arcane Fire of that level cannot possibly exist.

Of course, as long as the connection between Luowei's soul and body recovers in the future, his spellcasting ability can also be restored. If he doesn't skip levels, reshaping the Arcane Fire will not be a problem either.

Or, he could learn to cast spells through pure soul, but even Xia Duo had no clue about this method, so it was even less likely for Luowei to use it.

"Teacher, is there anything you want to instruct us by calling us here? I—"

Luowei did not finish the rest of his words, but his dejected expression seemed to tell everyone that he was already a useless person, so what use could he still have?

"Luowei, there is still a turning point for your matter; I will tell you later."

Iolum's words gave Luowei great Gumu, and his eyes instantly became bright. It was just that the teacher had other things to say, so he could only suppress the excitement in his heart and listen patiently.

Luowei had cheered up again, but Iolum did not show how happy he was; instead, he felt even heavier in his heart. A turning point did indeed exist, but it was likely still a considerable distance from Luowei's expectations.

He looked around, his gaze lingering on Xia Duo for a moment longer, and then said: "I called you here this time to discuss and confirm the official name of the Independent Arcane Fire Device."
