Chapter 2904: Runic Magic Artifact

————Still about 40 minutes left~~

Although Xia Duo had already made up his mind not to worry about the standing high-spec Mage group of the Alliance, not long after returning to the Xiu Xi Shi, he still received a Sending from Badijiaer discussing this matter.

Of course, the main reason for Badijiaer's Sending this time was still regarding the Spirit Thought Network, and he did not hide his purpose from the very beginning—

"Does the Spirit Thought Network composed of Elven Mages have a boosting effect on human Mages?"

"It does, but I will not hide it from you, Speaker, the effect of human Mages using a Spirit Thought Network of Elven Mages is very limited, unless the person himself is also proficient in Elven Magic."

Although this question was not asked during the previous talks with the representatives of the Five Kingdoms, Xia Duo knew that this question could not be avoided in the end. Just now in the meeting room, Danzo Enjier had been cold in his attitude, only asking a few casual questions at the very end, clearly also worried about this point.

If Netheril Magic and Elven Magic were related, then Dwarf Magic and Elven Magic were complete strangers with nothing to do with each other.

Dwarf Mages also have a boost when using a Spirit Thought Network composed of Elven Mages, but the effect is far inferior even to humans, let alone Elves.

It was just that just now in the meeting room, the Ilfaran representative asked about the balance of the Public Computing Resource Pool, and the answer Xia Duo gave was that it could be self-sufficient, or even become a major source of income for the Northland Alliance.

Badijiaer did not directly say that he opposed it, or that the Mage Tower opposed it, or even that the Council members might oppose it, but Xia Duo still felt the pressure.

It is not about the future; it is that even now, it can be verified through the usage of human Mages at the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.

"If that is the case, can't Dwarf Mages also fully utilize the Public Computing Resource Pool in this way?" Badijiaer seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked again.

"Does Councilor Xia Duo really have such a Translation Device?" Badijiaer asked again, his tone seeming to have a subtle change compared to just a moment ago.

It was just that he had just guaranteed the privacy and safety of the Arcane Network to the representatives of the Five Kingdoms, so he could not turn around and tell Badijiaer that he could detect Demon Descendants through the Arcane Network.

But at the moment, whether it was Badijiaer or the Seventon Council he represented, there seemed to be a trend of opposing the Arcane Network, so Xia Duo could only stall for time.

Therefore, the first thing Badijiaer asked in his Sending to Xia Duo was to confirm the effectiveness of human Mages using an Arcane Network where Elven Mages were in the majority. Xia Duo could not lie about this, because it would be very easy to verify later.

Xia Duo did not think his reputation was high enough that everyone would believe him just because he said something, so on this issue, he could only persuade from another angle.

As for Elven Mages studying human Spells, not to mention whether Elven Mages would study them, even if they did, wouldn't having a Translation Device be equivalent to aiding the enemy?

"Of course there is. Whether it is Netheril Magic or Elven Magic, neither exceeds the scope of Arcane Magic, and the Principles of Arcane Magic are unique; different magic systems are just different forms of expression."

"The Arcane Network is of great significance, and its practical effect is also very great. I think Speaker Badijiaer will not deny this! As for the problem that human Mages' effect using the Alliance's Public Computing Resource Pool is not as good as Elven Mages, the key is actually not the Arcane Network itself. If most of the users of this network were humans, then it would be the Elven Mages complaining that the effect is not as good as humans."

Imaska's Creation Magic is not Arcane Magic, and Psionic Magic is also not Arcane Magic. As for Dwarf Magic, although it looks rigid and conservative, it is essentially the same as Netheril Magic—it is also Arcane Magic.

Speaking of this, Xia Duo decided to play a trump card, "Actually, the problem Speaker Badijiaer is worried about does not exist at all. I can design a Translation Device to perform real-time translation for conversion issues involving Netheril Magic and Elven Magic. It does not need to be equipped for every human Mage; it only needs to be installed in the Gateway between the Netheril Spirit Thought and the Public Computing Resource Pool Main Network to achieve it."

Regarding this, Xia Duo gave an affirmative answer and also mentioned, "But my understanding of Dwarf Magic is limited, and I cannot design a Translation Device adapted to Dwarf Magic."

This is not something that a little bit of monetary gain can compensate for.

It is possible to conduct a thorough investigation of hidden Demon Descendant elements through the Arcane Network!

To a certain extent, the Northland Alliance can already be considered an alliance of Arcane Magic, which is the basis for communication, learning, and common progress.

But Xia Duo can detect them because he can analyze the Subconscious, and he is not directly invading other people's consciousness, but determining a certain situation through indirect analysis of a large amount of information.

At the very least, this kind of Translation Device is theoretically completely achievable, it is just that whether it can be researched in a short time remains an unknown.

"Since that is the case, I don't think building such a Public Computing Resource Pool is a good choice! At least for our Netheril Spirit Thought, it is not a good choice. What does Councilor Xia Duo think?"

But the reality is that Netheril Magic and Elven Magic have long had relatively clear boundaries. Ordinary Netheril Mages will not spend too much energy studying Elven Magic; at most, learning some Elvish is the limit.

If there is a real need, one can completely study it temporarily or find more professional people, and it will not delay things too much, because the issue of translating Spells involving two systems is basically unlikely to be a very urgent matter.

He was still thinking about setting up a Public Computing Resource Pool in the Netheril Spirit Thought! If it were revealed that it could detect Demon Descendants, wouldn't it also be able to detect other more sensitive content? I am afraid that any Mage Tower organization that knew this would not agree to this project.

It is just that this is different from the existing finished Gateway Magic Tool. Regarding the Translation Device, Xia Duo only had such an idea before and had not actually done it.

The more this is explained, the more Netheril Mages might be unable to accept the Arcane Network. After all, this is all said by Xia Duo himself, and for the time being, he is the only example. If others cannot verify it, then it is naturally very difficult to believe.

He was also not sure if it could be successfully researched, and how long it would take to have results—whether good or bad.

It is just that the Arcane Network is of great importance, not to mention its practical application. It is a concrete manifestation of the further progress of relations between the countries of the Northland. Besides that, there is one more point that Xia Duo cannot speak of, and that is—

But the Netheril Spirit Thought is different. When it is known that the Public Computing Resource Pool can provide a huge boost to magic research, even if the Netheril Spirit Thought does not need to pay, the Netheril Spirit Thought might firmly oppose it.

So in the past, this kind of Translation Device for different magic systems could basically be described as "tasteless," but now it seems it can truly play a role.

This is indeed a line of thought, and Xia Duo wanted to do research in this area a long time ago, but this research was more just to facilitate human Mages studying Elven Magic, or Elven Mages studying human Spells.

Danzo, based on its consistent principle of neutrality, plus the fact that its territory is located in the Underdark and has no direct conflict or competitive relationship with the countries on the Surface, will basically not oppose the establishment of a Public Computing Resource Pool as long as they are not asked to pay, even if this does not actually provide much help to them.

The reason is simple: humans cannot fully utilize this Public Computing Resource Pool like Elves, and humans and Elves still have a competitive relationship on the Surface. If humans gain less, it is equivalent to a loss to a certain extent.
