Chapter 1899: Associated Components, Test Passed

As for the defense against the Demon Descendants mentioned by Katunidede, the protection level in Yeman Valley had actually been raised by more than one grade ever since Jielunsita invited the Elven Court to launch an investigation into Siluwende three months ago.

But unfortunately, whether it was because Jielunsita's investigation ultimately failed to materialize and did not attract enough hatred, or because the integrationist faction within the Demon Descendants had temporarily gained the upper hand, the Demon Descendants had been extremely low-key over these past three months.

Not only had no sign of any Demon Descendants appeared here in Evereska, but no rumors had spread from other countries either, including Wuweilun, which had previously been purging Demon Descendant infiltration, and Jielunsita, which had wanted to initiate a new round of investigations.

This left Xia Duo feeling somewhat disappointed; if he could catch another Demon Descendant, perhaps he could test whether the Longevity Technique purification plan was effective against a true Demon Descendant.

Of course, even if it were truly effective, the time this plan appeared was too late; the Demon Descendants had already formed a true race, rather than being the initial victims of Abyssal Aura infection or Demon Bloodline mutation.

Now, if one were to ask them to abandon their bloodline, I fear even the integrationist faction among the Demon Descendants might not be able to accept it. The integration they spoke of was to integrate into the Elves in the form of a Long-lived Family after completely solving the problem of reproduction, rather than erasing their bloodline to become ordinary Elves, or even being persecuted to death.

But regardless, the final test was of great importance, so Xia Duo still made preparations, using spells to project his Perception across the entire Yeman Valley.

Aside from guarding against any Demon Descendant Elves who might appear to cause trouble, observing the testing process also became clearer and more comprehensive.

Soon, under the gaze of the remaining members of the project team, the adaptive framework of the New Mythallar was completed. Compared to the prototype Xia Duo had initially brought out, this final test version also had significant changes.

The most notable point among them was the standardization of the connection rules with other functional components of the Mythallar, which was mainly attributed to the Basic Research Group, who had gradually perfected the New Mythallar system during their research into the adaptive framework.

This was also the part Xia Duo valued the most; once he returned to the Main Plane, even if he had to redesign it, he could quickly design a Floating City Mythallar based on the adaptive framework.

In fact, toward the end of the Evereska New Mythallar project, Xia Duo had already begun to redesign and complete his own Floating City Mythallar.

The completed Floating City Mythallar and the Evereska New Mythallar shared the same framework and had many overlapping functions; the only difference was that the Evereska New Mythallar had only one Material Node.

Whereas the Floating City Mythallar, in order to incorporate the 【Mythallar】 device into the Mythallar system, adopted a Distributed Node design; the multiple 【Mythallar】 devices of the 【Floating City】 were the Material Nodes of the Mythallar.

These two designs each had their own strengths and weaknesses; one could only say that Xia Duo had made the choice most suitable for him.

……

While Xia Duo was on alert, observing and pondering, the spellcasting of Ougesi and the other hundred-plus Mages also reached a critical moment.

After completing the adaptive framework, the next step was to fill in the various functional components, but previous adaptation tests had only tested one or multiple functions at a time, and no full test of all components together had ever been conducted.

Just now, Ougesi and the others had completed the reshaping of the Magic Net and the addition of the Spell Pool, which actually already included multiple components, and now, the Spellcasting had reached the setting of the Mythallar Permission.

This step required linking the adaptive framework and the multiple components completed earlier, as well as making plans for the components that needed to be added next.

Of course, specifically for the test, it was only necessary to verify for the time being whether the connections between the previous components were stable and normal; as for the subsequent plans, they would have to wait until the later functional components were completed to see the results.

Theoretically, the Mythallar Permission had also been tested and should have been fine, but whether it could pass the comprehensive test was something Xia Duo was not entirely sure about.

This was just like writing programs on Earth; sometimes there were bugs but it could still run normally, sometimes there were no bugs at all but it couldn't run, sometimes it was related to the environment, and sometimes it was related to things like comments that were irrelevant to the program itself.

If one really had to troubleshoot item by item, it would undoubtedly be a massive project.

Of course, Xia Duo did not strive for perfection; as long as the various functions designed beforehand could be realized normally and run stably, that would be enough.

If problems were discovered later, he could just update it; the Mythallar itself had update channels reserved, which was actually part of daily maintenance.

……

Soon, the permission settings were completed, and they linked well with the multiple functional components and the adaptive framework added previously, without any abnormalities appearing.

At this moment, the heart that Xia Duo had been keeping in his throat finally settled for the most part, and the remaining small half depended on the final node processing.

However, seeing this, he already had seventy or eighty percent certainty about the result of this test; if nothing unexpected happened, it should be a success.

"Asuosi, what do you think?"

Although Saijisi was asking Xia Duo, his tone clearly revealed joy; what Xia Duo could see, he could naturally see as well.

Xia Duo did not pour cold water on him at this time, because he was in the same mood; a work he had labored over for so long was about to be completed, so how could he not have a few expectations and a bit of joy!

"I don't think there will be any problems this time."

"I think so too, but I'm worried that they lack experience in the final node processing, leading to accidents in a spell that should have succeeded."

Node processing could not be practiced or tested in advance; this step itself only occurred during comprehensive testing or formal construction.

It was understandable that Saijisi had concerns about this, and Xia Duo had concerns too, but as someone also proficient in Netheril Magic, he had confidence in Elven Magic and these Elven Mages.

If an accident really occurred, Netheril Magic might not have a chance to salvage it, but Elven Magic did.

In fact, he himself was prepared to step in and save the situation at any time.

……

Time passed bit by bit, and the spellcasting of Ougesi and the other hundred-plus Mages remained smooth, and no accidents occurred with the Mythallar.

It was not until the Mythallar Node was generated and landed on the prepared Gemstone pedestal that the last bit of worry in Xia Duo's heart finally vanished.

As the host of the comprehensive test ceremony, Saijisi obtained full Mythallar Permission for the test. Now that the test was successfully completed, he excitedly granted permissions to every participant and observer present.

"Everyone, come and try it. I feel this Mythallar is very different from the previous ones! I didn't feel much during the previous tests, but now that the Mythallar is complete, it really feels very special."

"Oh? Is that so? Then I must give it a good try!"

"What's different? I don't feel much difference; it's nothing more than a difference in functionality, right!"

Members of the Council of Elders had more or less possessed Mythallar Permission before, not necessarily the bloated monsters like the old Evereska Mythallar, but normally constructed Mythallars.

Some of them were more sensitive and immediately noticed the difference between this Mythallar and others, while some who were less sensitive could not tell even after experiencing the New Mythallar.
