Chapter 2636: Migration Begins, Void Warehouse Completed
Over the past two days, Xia Duo had actually contacted Badijiaer to ask about the progress of the Seven Towers Envoy's negotiations in the south, but Badijiaer did not disclose anything, only saying that everything was going smoothly.
However, the super hurricane "preheated" by the Wind Lord Luohaxi for Daxia Territory had a time limit, lasting only about four or five days!
If the water vapor migration was not carried out, those clouds and water vapor that had been gathered could not be returned, but would instead fall as heavy rain in Nan Jing.
So now there were only two or three days left; if there was still no definite word from the Seven Towers, Xia Duo was prepared to change the water vapor migration route toward the Narrow Sea or the Arctic.
Making such a change would actually be disadvantageous for Daxia Territory; if it were to go to the Narrow Sea normally, it should be creating a super hurricane near Seventon.
Fortunately, the Mairide Family was quite capable; Laiyide brought over four Wind Element Lords at once, which were said to have been borrowed from allies, and half of the team of Scholars he brought belonged to those four families.
To be safe, Xia Duo could wait at most two more days; if there were no results after two days, he would need to change the route.
……
Over the next two days, Xia Duo could not stay at ease in the Laboratory; on one hand, he had to deal with inquiries from Niya, Saville, and others, and on the other, he had to urge Badijiaer.
Coupled with the fact that the research on Spirit Automation itself was very energy-consuming, he even temporarily stopped the inspection of his avatar inside Feres Fortress in the Arctic.
Just regarding that single experiment itself, it was a suspected victory, but regarding the entire project, it was not a small success.
But regardless, Xia Shao was now fully prepared; it just remained to be seen whether the Demon Descendant would come or not!
It was likely that the Demon Descendant would not go so far as to provoke a major enemy for themselves.
At this moment, Xia Shao deeply understood the meaning that this sentence wanted to express; originally, according to normal progress, he might have needed to fully analyze all the elements of the Spirit Amulet before it was possible to find the element units related to Spirit Will Guidance.
In the constant fitting of elements, Xia Shao suddenly had an inspiration and tried a new plan, which resulted in the experiment actually triggering a substantial Mind Blast.
Now, the Tower of Time was about to begin a new era of void storage!
What followed was to continue the experiments, and they were experiments with clear processes and goals.
All his attention was attracted by the Spirit Amulet in the experimental area that had been bridged with a large amount of Mithril; the just-triggered Mind Blast was a near-perfect performance of the experiment!
It was mixed with some elements related to bloodlines; in the magic system of Calimshan that took bloodlines as its root, it might be a type of Bloodline Spell, but in Xia Shao's view, within the Netheril Magic System, this was a relatively special mind spell!
"So that's how it is!" Xia Shao suddenly realized.
Since permission had already been obtained, Xia Shao immediately notified Talafu to start the next phase of the Water Vapor Migration Plan and transfer it south toward Calimshan.
In other words, the current Kaitemier's hatred for the Demon Descendant was not yet that deep; at most, it was a dislike for bloodline polluters, not a life-and-death enemy.
"Please rest assured, Lord Xia Shao, we will definitely complete the mission successfully!"
However, given the current state of Kaitemier and Zhamu Dasi, it was estimated that neither side would have the mind to stir up trouble.
Inside the Laboratory.
After asking in detail, Xia Shao learned that the two countries had been fighting for half a year, each suffering losses without gaining any benefits, and discordant voices had already appeared internally, especially in Zhamu Dasi, where there had even been rebellions within the country.
If one had to say there was a difference, it was that the storage space was larger and could hold more items; furthermore, the Void Warehouse was clearly controlled by the Tower of Time, unlike some Dimensional Bags that were clearly under the actual control of the creators, yet still claimed to have no backdoors to reassure buyers.
The water vapor migration began, and the stone that had been weighing on Xia Shao's heart finally fell; from now on, no matter what accidents occurred, he had already occupied the moral high ground, and it was just a matter of dealing with things as they came.
He only needed to guard against the Demon Descendant causing trouble using his identity; now that Xia Shao's Floating City was approaching Kaitemier, for a creature like the Demon Descendant that died upon exposure, he would kill one if one came, and kill a pair if two came!
Thus, both sides temporarily ceased fire with the migration of water vapor by Netheril as an opportunity; whether they would continue to fight later would depend on how the situation developed.
One by one, Spirit Amulets hovered quietly in the experimental preparation area, waiting for Xia Shao to use them for experiments, but suddenly, the Magic Net in the experimental area trembled, and an indescribable field spread out.
……
It was also at this time that good news came from Niya; the first version of the Void Warehouse was already completed, and she had already tried it with others in the construction team, and compared to traditional Dimensional Bags, there was almost no difference in experience.
Similar to the practice of banks on Earth, the safes there were essentially controlled by the bank, and there had indeed been cases of insider theft, but as an industry, it was still very trustworthy.
The reason was that this experiment proved the key to Spirit Automation—the elements related to Spirit Will Guidance were, unsurprisingly, a special solution to the 【Mind Interference Field Equation】.
The greatest threat of the Demon Descendant lay in their concealment; once they emerged, they would not be far from death, though it was also possible that it could be a disaster.
Knocking all the Spirit Amulets in the preparation area to the ground, even Xia Shao himself suffered a bit of impact in the process, but at this moment, he did not care about these minor details at all.
Hearing the solemn and confident voice of Talafu in his ear, Xia Shao put away the Wind Messenger and then continued to devote himself to the research of Spirit Automation.
The water vapor migration route could pass between the two countries.
Of course, the premise was that they were Apprentices who had received relatively complete basic Magic Education, like the Tower of Time Apprentices, rather than those traditional apprentices outside who were between servants and Wild Mages.
The ancients on Earth once said that success is 99% perspiration plus 1% inspiration, but that 1% of inspiration is the most important, even more important than that 99% of perspiration!
If it weren't for the fact that both sides had long had the intention to cease fire, it would probably not have been so easy for the Seven Towers to negotiate it!
It was unknown whether the negotiations in the south were indeed not going smoothly, or if Badijiaer was deliberately playing mind games, but news only came when it was truly reaching the limit, saying that they had already reached an agreement with Kaitemier and Zhamu Dasi.
As for the Demon Descendant, Kaitemier might also have infiltration, but this was not the key; in the past, the Demon Descendant's activities in Kaitemier were almost non-existent, and based on Xia Shao's experience in the Projection Plane, the Demon Descendant cared more about the Northland.
……
The Tower of Time's Void Warehouse could be controlled, meaning it could be controlled; it would not hide anything from the buyers, but would guarantee its safety with the reputation of the Tower of Time.
But now, because of one attempt, he had determined the relationship between the elements related to Spirit Will Guidance and the 【Mind Interference Field Equation】, so the subsequent work could be completed even by an Apprentice!
