Chapter 3144: Dragon Crystal Spell

It took about half an hour for Saville to put down the spell manual. From his deeply furrowed brow, one could vaguely judge the difficulty of restoring the original version of the spell. Xia Duo did not urge him, but waited patiently, while also repeatedly pondering the spell himself.

Just then, Saville spoke up suddenly, "I have some conjectures, though I am not sure if that is the case."

Seeing this, Xia Duo could not help but feel a surge of joy and hurriedly urged: "Speak quickly, let the two of us discuss it together; perhaps we might make some new discoveries!"

"Hmm." Saville nodded, deliberated for a moment, and then voiced his speculation, "This Netheril Magic version of the spell is extremely exquisite. I cannot pick out any flaws, but after translating it into Dragon Magic, I discovered some unfinished aspects. It seems to be a part specifically stripped away from a more complex spell."

"Are you saying that this spell actually comes from a more complete Dragon Magic?" Xia Duo was somewhat incredulous.

If a spell designed so exquisitely was merely a part of some other spell, then the Golden Dragon's spell design had likely reached a level he could hardly imagine.

"Yes." Saville also reminded Xia Duo, "Does what I said make you think of anything?"

"Think of what?" Xia Duo quickly went over his understanding of Dragon Magic, but could not find any overlooked points, so he could only ask Saville again, "What exactly is it? I didn't think of anything."

"Alright, this is indeed a bit difficult for you; I myself thought about it for a long time before I realized—it is the Dragon Crystal Spell. Do you have any impression of it?"

"Dragon Crystal Spell?"

"Indeed." Xia Duo also expressed his agreement.

Hearing that name, Xia Duo suddenly felt speechless. He had indeed heard that name in Pulita's memories, but it was limited to just the name and a very brief introduction; there was nothing more.

After all, Sa Wei Er Ti Si, coming from the inner domains, was a magical treasure that could not be continuously mined for any local Mage.

Following that, Pulita wanted to continue speaking, but Xia Duo could not help but interject, "You don't mean to say that a Golden Dragon Mage can create and store multiple Dragon Crystal Gems at the same time, do you?"

"If a carrier is used, then only one can be maintained, but the spell combinations within it can be changed at will. Therefore, most Golden Dragon Mages will maintain one Dragon Crystal Spell without a carrier, while also finding ways to continuously create Dragon Crystal Gems with fixed combinations, yet in a wide variety, to deal with different situations."

"I knew that you looking for me would bring no good! However, I accept this matter; I am also very interested in the Dragon Crystal Spell! But don't just sit idle; find a way to obtain more spells from that Sa Wei Er Ti Si, even if they are translated versions. I will find a way to restore them to see if I can discover more clues originating from Dragon Crystal."

Perhaps Pulita did not know, or perhaps Pulita had not opened up more memories, but regardless, it was impossible for Xia Duo to infer the connection between it and the 【Mind Mirror】 provided by Sa Wei Er Ti Si this time based on a name alone.

"You guessed correctly. A Golden Dragon Mage can indeed store multiple Dragon Crystal Gems at the same time, just as we Arcanists can possess multiple Magic Artifacts, but it is limited to those he manufactured himself. Therefore, Golden Dragons are very fond of Gemstones."

Being alone in another civilization and handing over one's greatest trump card was truly unwise. Even if Xia Duo himself were in that situation, he would consider it carefully.

The Golden Dragon's Dragon Crystal Spell, in a sense, could already be considered a type of universal spellcasting tool. At the very least, Netheril had not yet developed such comprehensive Magic Artifacts.

He had currently only made a Double-string 5th-ring Calculator; there was still a very long way to go before a true General Magic Computer!

"Every facet of a Dragon Crystal Gem represents a spell, and a Dragon Crystal Gem has at least five facets, and at most can have twenty facets—that is, twenty spells combined together."

After a moment of silence, Xia Duo asked again: "Are you certain that this 【Mind Mirror】 comes from some Dragon Crystal Spell?"

"I cannot be one hundred percent sure, but there is a high degree of certainty."

"However, out of consideration for stability, Golden Dragons will always find a material carrier for it. Because they most often choose Gemstone carriers, this type of spell is also called a Dragon Crystal Spell."

"What kind of plan? It's just a temporary idea. You are the one in the Tower of Time who understands Dragon Magic best and is also proficient in Netheril Magic, so I can only trouble you to study it more when you are free."

Even if the Main Plane were to be destroyed tomorrow and the only chance of salvation was to provide the Dragon Crystal Spell, Sa Wei Er Ti Si would likely not be willing to provide it in such a situation.

"What if a carrier is not used? How many Dragon Crystal Spells can they maintain at the same time?" Xia Duo asked again.

Seeing that Xia Duo was still puzzled, Pulita continued to explain: "There is a special spell in Dragon Magic that can combine numerous different spells together to form an independent existence similar to a Magic Artifact, only without a physical body."

Xia Duo's suggestion made Pulita fall into deep thought. After a long while, he blurted out, "What kind of plan have you thought of again?"

This is like a Netherese Mage accidentally ending up in some plane of a foreign domain where the Mythallar is the only possibility for salvation. In such a situation, the Netherese Mage is more likely to just walk away than to provide the Mythallar to save the world.

Pulita also gave Xia Duo a task. Xia Duo did not hesitate in the slightest and agreed readily; this was already within his plans.

"The Dragon Crystal Spell!"

"It is especially used by those vassal race Mages who have transferred into the Dragon Magic system but have not yet transformed their bloodlines, perhaps out of an attempt to imitate the appearance of the Golden Dragon's golden version. After transforming their bloodlines and becoming pure-blooded Golden Dragons, it is more common to use Gemstones as carriers."

Of course, Xia Duo was currently standing from the perspective of the Main Plane, so even if he could understand Sa Wei Er Ti Si, he did not want the other party to provide the Dragon Crystal Spell, and as long as it was possible, he would find a way to actively obtain this technology.

Although this boundary was actually one that the Golden Dragons had already expanded, for the Arcanists of the Main Plane, it was a truly brand-new Domain.

The Magic Computer that Xia Duo envisioned would be more flexible and more universal than Dragon Crystals. Once researched, it would definitely be an epoch-making product. Mages with and without a Magic Computer could simply be called two different species; the former would be a dimensionality-reduction strike against the latter, completely crushing them in every aspect.

"Do you think Netheril Magic can perform such combinations to create new Magic Artifacts similar to Dragon Crystals? For a Great Arcanist, ordinary Magic Artifacts are no longer indispensable. If one could create new Magic Artifacts similar to Dragon Crystals, would that count as expanding the boundaries of Arcane Magic?"

Speaking of this, Pulita seemed to have thought of something interesting, could not help but smile knowingly, and then continued: "Of course, non-Gemstone materials can also be used to manufacture Dragon Crystals, among which gold is used the most, and it is also known as Golden Dragon Crystal."

After finishing, Pulita could not help but sigh, "Just from this point, one can see that the Golden Dragons have gone further than us in the development of Magic."

But the problem was that the Magic Computer had not been developed yet!

Xia Duo was undoubtedly very interested in the Dragon Crystal Spell, but judging from Pulita's performance, Pulita had not learned the Dragon Crystal Spell either. And as for Sa Wei Er Ti Si, who was so unwilling even to provide a split-off spell, wanting the other party to provide the Dragon Crystal Spell was almost impossible.
