Chapter 324: Law Enforcement, Omniscience

Although he knew the Tower of Time's energy reserves were insufficient, a general description was, in the end, not as intuitive as concrete data.

Knowing the specific data, Xia Duo felt another trace of worry in his heart, then asked: "How long does it take to fully charge the energy? Calculated based on yesterday's growth, be precise to the day!"

"Agent Xia Duo, it requires 1 year, 6 months, and 13 days." The Tower Spirit's reply had almost no pause.

"No, that's not right!"

Xia Duo thought about how the various elements were calculated separately before; in that case, the deadline the Tower Spirit answered should be the time it takes for the energy that grows the slowest to be fully charged.

So Xia Duo asked again: "Tower Spirit, which element or energy will reach 50% capacity first, and how long will it take?"

"Agent Xia Duo, the Water Element pool will reach 50% capacity in four months."

That's more like it. In this way, it seems the energy crisis can be resolved soon, but this is based on yesterday's growth, and yesterday most of the Tower of Time members were doing repair work.

The usual major energy consumer, the "Spell Laboratory," was almost never used, and in Xia Duo's repair plan, in order to coordinate the consumption of materials, it would not be worked on as desperately as it had been these past few days.

After all, Official Mages are not cheap labor.

If they were kept doing magic "labor," it would conflict with the rules of the Tower of Time itself, and to maintain future normal income, the Tower of Time must also resume work and restore operations as soon as possible.

It's just that in this way, it is unknown how much time it will take to fully reserve the energy.

"Tower Spirit, list the spells currently available with sufficient energy reserves that can block teleportation and restrict flight!"

The most unsolvable things about a Mage are being able to teleport and fly; if one cannot block teleportation and restrict flight, then even if a Great Arcanist came in person, their deterrent power would be limited.

Xia Duo certainly could not fail to consider this.

Soon, the Tower Spirit listed a large pile of spells for Xia Duo to refer to; where there is a spear, there must be a shield. If Mages have such strong mobility, then there must certainly be restriction methods.

And these methods were almost all researched by the Mages themselves.

"I restrict myself, I kill myself, is that even okay~" Xia Duo casually made a snide remark and began to check the spell list provided by the Tower Spirit.

He was mainly considering energy consumption; he didn't want to accidentally cause his home to have a "power outage" due to a lack of caution.

After searching for a while, there were two spells that caught his eye: one was the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】, 9th Circle, with an ultra-wide range; as long as this is cast first, even if the opponent flies up, they won't be able to fly out of this range in a short time.

The other was 【Jinzhu Shu】, also 9th Circle, but the effective range is very small, at most one or two meters; if the main body of the Tower of Time could be sent over, the range would be very large.

Spell duels are actually a very interesting thing. In the game Xia Duo played before he transmigrated, there were many classic tactics, but when placed in the real magic world, these tactics were not necessarily applicable.

But the dueling mindset was still useful.

First, block teleportation, then remove protection, and finally restrict movement; damage and such are secondary.

A Spellcaster, if they lose their ability to cast spells and also lose their ability to move, then how much difference is there between them and a piece of wood?

Even an ordinary child could stab them to death with a knife.

Xia Duo was very greedy for 9th Circle spells, but being 9th Circle themselves, wanting to pass through the chaotic Magic Net area to guide and release them outside would far exceed their own energy consumption.

A single spell could almost drain the current Tower of Time dry!

It was just that the Tower Spirit mechanically listed them; Xia Duo only coveted them for a while before skipping over them. Below the 9th Circle 【Wide-Area Prohibition】, there was also the ordinary version, the 6th Circle 【Forbidden Restriction】.

Below the 9th Circle 【Jinzhu Shu】, there were also various low-circle restriction spells.

For a time, Xia Duo was dazzled.

Not long after, the Tower Spirit reminded him that Aiboke had returned and wanted to see him.

"Teleport him over!"

At this moment, Xia Duo was in the Reception Room of his residence, holding a pen and writing and drawing on paper. Besides formulating the dueling plan for the guidance spell, he also had to calculate energy consumption; he couldn't do a one-off deal.

Soon, the Tower Spirit sent Aiboke over, but his complexion was a bit ugly. Xia Duo guessed that perhaps that Arcanist named Aquilain had said something provocative.

"Did you notify him?"

"Notified, but—" Aiboke hesitated for a moment and said, "But Akuilaien Huo Ke still insisted on his original choice."

"Never mind him, come and look at the law enforcement plan I formulated."

Xia Duo defined this operation as "law enforcement." Notifying the other party in advance was also out of consideration for his background; otherwise, a direct surprise attack was what he most wanted to do.

The Eagle Chamber of Commerce has strong strength and even has considerable influence in the Elf Kingdom; one can imagine the strength of the Huo Ke Territory behind it. However, Niya had previously let Aiboke bring back news saying that the Eagle Chamber of Commerce and the Huo Ke Territory would not become enemies in the short term.

But why would the Huo Ke Territory, which is not an enemy, insist on sending someone like Aquilain to provoke him!

Xia Duo was truly very puzzled, but regardless, his law enforcement action was at least ostensibly in accordance with the rules!

……

Aiboke flipped through the papers Xia Duo handed over that were written with the law enforcement strategy. He was very surprised; he knew that although Xia Duo had already become an Intermediate Mage, he had not been in contact with magic for very long.

He didn't expect Xia Duo to have such a profound understanding of spell duels!

Generally speaking, at least an Intermediate Mage would consider researching how to duel with Mages. The so-called spell duel is nothing more than a competitive spell performance passed down from the Elves.

Under heavy rule restrictions, it makes the Spellcaster feel tied up and is not a real battle.

Some of these strategies were very fresh, while others had already been used countless times by people. Although Aiboke was surprised at Xia Duo's speed of progress, there were also some very obvious shortcomings in them.

"Xia Duo, you really exceeded my expectations!"

Aiboke first praised him, "These plans are very good, but there are a few problems here that need to be solved, otherwise these plans will be difficult to truly be effective."

"What problems?" Xia Duo asked hurriedly.

The purpose of him letting Aiboke refer to them was exactly this. A game is a game after all and may not necessarily be applicable to reality. Having a fairly senior Netherese Mage to check for omissions and fill in gaps, how could he not use it!

He had always believed that individual Wisdom is limited; listening to one side leads to darkness, while listening to both sides leads to clarity. He had never forgotten the Wisdom of his ancestors!

Even if a person is very smart, it is impossible to know all Knowledge; otherwise, wouldn't they be an omniscient being? And an omniscient being, in Xia Duo's view, is even more exaggerated than Laplace's Demon, who knows the state of all atoms in the Universe.

Because, if there really were an omniscient being, then "He" would certainly have transcended logic!

Omniscience is omnipotence!

He would know how to let an ordinary person become an omniscient being like Him just by moving a finger; if He didn't know, He wouldn't be an omniscient being.

He even knows how to lift everything, and also knows how to let an ordinary person create a stone that even He Himself cannot lift just by moving a finger.

If He didn't know, He wouldn't be an omniscient being.

Transcending logic, transcending everything.

As long as one is not an omniscient being, one needs the Wisdom of others!

The process of growing Knowledge and Wisdom is inevitably a process of thinking, a painful process; although Xia Duo does not particularly like it, he is very happy to enjoy it.

Because he likes the results that all of this brings!

If he were given a system capable of instilling Knowledge and automatically mastering it, he would truly be happy to death.
