Chapter 1844: New Mythallar, Greatly Benefited

"Asuosi, is this adaptive function you speak of truly possible to achieve?"

"I am not certain, but if it truly can be achieved, the protection of the Mythallar itself against destructive attacks will be elevated to the extreme."

Plane travel is not popular within the Projection Plane, and even if there are occasional plane travelers existing in the background, they would likely not think of letting a Mythallar span across planes.

Right now, Xia Duo has brought up the Mythallar function used for the Floating City to adapt to the Magic Net across planes; even if Saijisi racked his brains, he would never think of the Floating City Mythallar.

In reality, this adaptive function itself is a part of the Mythallar protection system.

The relationship between it and true protective functions is similar to the relationship between Kevlar fiber and a bulletproof vest; the adaptive function is not designed for protection, yet it naturally possesses protective capabilities, just as Kevlar fiber is not developed specifically for bulletproof vests.

But Saijisi does not know this; hearing Xia Duo briefly introduce the design Principles of the adaptive function, he subconsciously assumed that Xia Duo was introducing it as a protective function design.

"Your idea is good, but it is not easy to implement."

As a High Mage, and a High Mage proficient in Myth Lock Design, Saijisi knew just by listening to Xia Duo's introduction that this function might seem theoretically feasible, but in actual practice, it might not be so.

As the proposer of the adaptive function, Xia Duo naturally knows where the key to its realization lies, but he will not remind Saijisi now, nor will he develop it himself; if he were to do that, it would be too deliberate.

Instead, by holding onto the key technology, he can recklessly demand funding, venues, and manpower.

"If it can be realized in theory, then it must be achievable; it is merely a matter of efficiency or cost. Give me time, and I will certainly be able to find a suitable way to implement it!"

Xia Duo's words revealed a trace of madness, and his attitude as a research fanatic largely infected Saijisi as well; as a Spellcaster, who doesn't have a bit of that confidence!

Facing a new design concept with full potential, how could he not want to challenge it!

"Good, I believe we will certainly succeed!"

In just a few words, both sides had finalized the first branching project within the Evereska New Mythallar project.

It was just that their behavior appeared truly exaggerated in the eyes of Ougesi; he tapped the tea table beside his hand and reminded them:

"Hey, you two calm down! The current state of Evereska does not support you in conducting such aimless research!"

Although Ougesi is responsible for local defense in the Council of Elders, as a High Mage himself, how could he be completely ignorant of Mythallars!

He could understand the design concept proposed by Asuosi perfectly, and the prospects of this concept were indeed very tempting, but from his current perspective, wanting to truly realize it could by no means be described with just a simple "not easy."

The essence of that adaptive function lies in—neutralizing all external disturbances, allowing the interior of the Mythallar to become self-contained.

In a sense, a Mythallar with this function is fundamentally different from the vast majority of past Mythallars; it is almost a completely New Mythallar.

Ougesi does not believe that just Asuosi and Saijisi alone could research it, even if ten of them were added.

The birth of any New Mythallar requires the accumulation of massive resources and High Mages; this is the experience of history. Ougesi felt happy for Asuosi's original concept, yet he was unwilling to let Evereska bear the unnecessarily high cost.

For a moment, he even felt that Asuosi joining Evereska was because he saw that currently, only Evereska in the Northland had the need to build a new Mythallar, and he was taking this opportunity to use Evereska's resources to research a New Mythallar.

But the next moment he dismissed this thought; a New Mythallar has extraordinary potential, and he believes that as long as Asuosi lets word out, there would certainly be major powers willing to support it, so why bother with an Evereska that might not have a tomorrow?

He would rather believe that Asuosi is sincerely supporting Evereska's cause of independence, rather than just exploiting it.

For another moment, Ougesi even felt ashamed that Evereska was delaying Asuosi's true development.

But undoubtedly, this thought only existed for an instant; right now, being able to have a High Mage willing to join Evereska, there was no way he could push him away.

Looking again at Saijisi, whose interest had already been stirred by Asuosi, Ougesi finally made a concession, "Researching it is fine, but if progress is not smooth, you must cut your losses in time. I will help you explain to the other companions."

"That is great."

Hearing Ougesi say this, Saijisi's eyes clearly brightened, "Rest assured, I know what I am doing. Once the adaptive Mythallar research is released, it will surely make the kingdoms of the Northland look at Evereska with new eyes!"

"Wait until you have researched it to say that!"

Ougesi, however, was not optimistic about Saijisi and Asuosi; the number of senior Mages in Evereska who can participate in Mythallar research is very limited, and wanting to complete this pioneering research relying only on the two of them as High Mages is truly too difficult.

……

Ougesi did not participate in the subsequent discussion; Evereska currently has many trivial matters, and Ougesi had his own things to do, so he soon left Athos Manor.

Only Xia Duo and Saijisi remained in the Reception Room. Without Ougesi pouring cold water on them, the discussion between Xia Duo and Saijisi took the adaptive function as the basic framework for the Mythallar, which in reality fit Xia Duo's Floating City Mythallar design to an even greater extent.

It even reached the point where he didn't need to think of any way to smuggle in his own agenda; Saijisi himself actively began various supplements, many of which exceeded Xia Duo's original ideas, which made him feel pleasantly surprised.

"Truly worthy of being a High Mage proficient in Myth Lock Design!"

While Xia Duo was ecstatic inside, he also felt strong dissatisfaction toward the son of Elder Laruian in the Main Plane of Evereska—that Mage Laierlesi who also specialized in Mythallars.

At the time, his exchange with the other party did indeed yield some gains, but judging from Saijisi's performance before him, even if Laierlesi had only recently become a High Mage, he shouldn't have performed like that; it was truly too reserved.

Although Xia Duo knew this was the difference between one of their own and an outsider, he was still dissatisfied.

It is just a pity that Saijisi is not from the Golden Maple Family, otherwise Xia Duo could consider that he lost out with the grandson, but found it back from the grandfather, barely able to balance his psychology.

But now, Xia Duo was angry; knowing that Laierlesi had been so perfunctory back then, once he returned to the Main Plane, he would definitely find a way to get even if there was an opportunity.

……

Regarding the design of the New Mythallar, it certainly could not be completed in a day or two. Xia Duo and Saijisi discussed until dusk, and Ougesi's invitation came again.

It was still a banquet, and just like yesterday, the official envoys of the Five Kingdoms were participating, but undoubtedly, Xia Duo refused again, and Saijisi did not go either.

"Asuosi, you see things the most clearly. I already told Katunidede, things that cannot be obtained at the negotiation table, don't even think about getting at a banquet. With the time spent on this banquet, it would be better to discuss Mythallar design or the analysis of the Old Mythallar."

"……"

Involving other Elders, Xia Duo did not respond, but instead steered the topic back to the Mythallar, and it was not until the dawn of the next day that he sent off the still-eager Saijisi.
