Chapter 2816: Dispelling Clouds, Order Force Spell of Standard Order

Time flew by, and soon it was the end of February.

Usually, by this time, the temperature in the Northland would have begun to gradually warm up; while it would not reach the point of melting snow, it would no longer be as bone-chillingly cold as before.

Yet, the chill remained unabated this February, and the clouds over Netheril, which had already been dispersed, seemed to show signs of gathering again after nearly two months of brewing.

After all, the previous migration of water vapor had only cleared the water vapor from above Netheril, but air is fluid; if there were a surplus of clouds and water vapor elsewhere in the Northland, it was inevitable that they would gather here.

With the temperature showing no signs of warming and cloudy weather becoming more frequent, the common people in every territory of Netheril from south to north were all shrouded in a rather somber atmosphere.

This naturally included Xia Duo's Daxia Territory.

Although most of the official residents still lived and worked with peace of mind—going to work when they were supposed to and having fun when they were supposed to—more than half of the people in the territory now were still reserve residents!

There were over two hundred thousand immigrants from the Sweetwater Three Planes, as well as nearly one hundred thousand Langasi.

They could feel the new order in Daxia Territory that was different from elsewhere, but in the end, they had not yet integrated into this order, and it was inevitable that they would feel uneasy about the current terrible climate and harsh weather.

For this reason, Xia Duo specifically sent the Element Elder used for constructing the Element Ranch to the Main Plane to disperse the clouds above the territory; fortunately, the clouds had not gathered much yet, and the thick, heavy dark clouds like those before the new year had not appeared.

Because electrons cannot move out of thin air to the specific positions where electrical appliances are working.

That spell exhibited a certain self-organizing characteristic, which was simply beyond Xia Duo's imagination; as long as the interference received did not exceed a certain threshold, he could maintain that spell forever.

Floating City, Level 8 Laboratory.

Although currently only this one standard spell possessed self-organizing characteristics, the primitive spells discovered previously could very easily "attach" themselves to order entities.

As for Order Force spells, it was similar; the flow of Order Force was indeterminate and had no fixed form, just like elemental energy. To cast an Order Force spell, one must also "manually" shape the specific form and oscillation mode of the Order Force.

The emotions of the residents were still relatively stable for the time being; at least no phenomena of loss of control had appeared.

It was just that Bloodline Sorcerers found it difficult to "lend" their spellcasting abilities to others besides themselves, but an Order Master could lend spellcasting abilities to others within the range of order they controlled.

In addition, Order Force had one more point that was very similar to elemental energy, which was that non-Order Masters could not directly control Order Force, just as one could not directly control elemental energy without the corresponding bloodline.

Perhaps all order spells possessed such characteristics!

If one were to use programming as an analogy, casting without the Magic Net was like facing a machine's machine language, while using the Magic Net to cast was like a high-level language, which was more convenient for humans to learn and understand.

As he spoke, Xia Duo controlled the Order Force to enter a specific state of motion; in fact, it was just referencing the spellcasting standards of Arcane Magic to shape a manually designed Order Force spell, only without the assistance of the Magic Net.

At this time, Aiboke also could not help but ask: "How is it? Can you restore the standard spell?"

Based on this, it was not difficult for Xia Duo to make an inference—

"Could this be the essence of Order Force?" Xia Duo was lost in thought.

In reality, there was no such thing as constant magic that existed forever; spells would always fail due to various factors after long-term use.

Very soon, a strange light similar to the one just on Aiboke appeared on Xia Duo as well; it was also very unstable at the beginning, but it finally managed to stabilize.

In this process, the spell itself was not actually important; what was important was the exploration of the rules of Order Force during the restoration process. As long as the rules were explored, new spells were actually very easy to create.

The order spell Xia Duo was currently shaping was the 【Protective Spiritual Light】 that came with the Identity Token of the Eastern World; it was only after countless attempts at exploration that he managed to restore it.

It was the same in the magic world; it was not that mixing a bunch of elements together would turn them into a spell, but rather that they needed to react under specific states, and those reactions counted as the most fundamental elemental reactions.

Nine Element Elders worked in rotation, basically ensuring that the territory could see blue skies most of the time. For this, even if the construction of the Element Ranch was temporarily delayed, Xia Duo did not begrudge it.

……

Inside the central experimental area, a strange light suddenly flashed across Aiboke, and after a wave of fluctuations, it unexpectedly stabilized. Seeing this, Xia Duo hurriedly perceived the state of the Order Force and then recorded it.

The role of the Magic Net was to provide a set of convenient tools to "reference" those reaction laws.

When casting, one should use more auxiliary spellcasting tools rather than being completely "manual," or improve the spellcasting method to create convenient spellcasting guidance programs, so that individual spellcasting could be achieved.

An Order Master was like a Bloodline Sorcerer who could naturally control elemental power.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, I'll try it."

Of course, Order Force and elemental energy were not the same thing in essence; the similarity was only because both were primitive powers, and their manifestations and methods of utilization were similar, nothing more.

Such spells were not easy to shape because the Magic Net itself carried the rules of energy circulation and was also the best carrier for energy circulation; this was just like how electrical appliances on Earth must require circuit conductors.

Unlike protective spells in Arcane Magic, such as Mage Armor, which would fail to be maintained once a certain amount of time was exceeded and would automatically dissipate—even if it were made constant through the method of element circulation, it was only theoretically possible for it to exist forever.

This was a very cumbersome way of casting. If there were no Magic Net, Xia Duo speculated that the spellcasters of this world should be like those in Calimshan, starting from Bloodline Magic, then transcending the bloodline bit by bit to form a relatively complete and universal magic system.

As long as they held on for another month or two and the temperature rose, this abnormal cold winter of the year would be considered survived, and what followed would be the hopeful spring.

Actually, the production cycle of the Element Ranch was relatively long, so being a few months late would not have an impact. As long as a few more Energy Crystals were fed at that time, perhaps it could be harvested faster than normal breeding!

……

Besides Xia Duo's arrangements, Laidun also had the Territory Culture and Education Department conduct a series of preaching and comforting activities at the temporary residential sites for reserve residents, and in coordination with Xia Duo's Blue Sky Action, the effect was quite good.

The fundamental reason lay in the fact that those spells did not possess self-organizing characteristics, or rather, those spells could not self-repair, but order spells actually could!

Arcane spells cast without the Magic Net required the spellcaster to "manually" shape the specific form and oscillation mode of the required elements. Originally, elemental energy could "flow" within the Magic Net Strings, but without a carrier, it could only react in the form of "oscillation."

The Order Force rules involved in primitive Order Force spells were very shallow, almost the most direct and simplest expression of the characteristics of Order Force itself, similar to the various effects manifested by elemental gathering and flow.
