Chapter 3334: Identity Exposed, Accidental Failure

This Magic Artifact has already exceeded the scope of ordinary Magic Artifacts; its main body is composed of Arcane Strings that can be assimilated and transformed by the Magic Net.

The full name of an Arcane String is "Material Projection of the Magic Net String onto Arcane Energy"; at the moment of its birth, it can be assimilated by the Magic Net, but in reality, it is still absorbed by the Magic Net as a special form of energy.

However, the true breakthrough of the Red Heart Alliance's latest Arcane Strings lies in the fact that they can be transformed into true Magic Net Strings, which is also the prerequisite technology for Artificial Arcane Fire.

It is just that to manufacture this type of latest Arcane String, even the Red Heart Alliance needs to rely on large-scale equipment within a Laboratory to produce small quantities; it cannot be mass-produced.

Xia Duo was only able to collect those Arcane Strings privately back then by relying on his status as a Spirit Thought Network Coordinator at the Negative Energy Research Institute; even so, he still had to report their use, and it would be even harder for anyone else.

In other words, given the current conditions of the Main Plane, there is simply no way to make another Thought Robe like this, and it is unlikely for quite a long time in the future.

Similar things include Spell Chips; Xia Duo only conducted limited experiments in the Projection Plane, as the cost of a single experiment starts at at least one million Gold Coins, and he truly cannot afford to burn that much.

Perhaps once the Mithril from the Grey Peak Mountains is produced in large quantities, he might restart the experiments; of course, it is more likely he will use substitute materials, such as the latest type of Arcane String.

But regardless of which plan is used, relative to the current stage of the Main Plane, the cost is extremely high, or even fundamentally impossible to realize.

Only by constantly consolidating the foundation of Magic Industry can the many projects in Xia Duo's mind possibly be implemented one by one.

As for the present, he holds a future weapon that completely transcends the current era and launches a surprise attack on a Mage of the current era who is still accustomed to fighting with hand-cast Spells; there is simply no suspense at all.

Kalano did not even react before the small area where he stood was separated and isolated by the War Spell "Wide-Area Prohibition," which expanded its interior into a space that could be called infinite for an individual Spellcaster.

Only then did Kalano react, but it was already too late; trapped within the separated space of the "Wide-Area Prohibition," no matter how he struggled, the prey that had already fallen into the net could not escape, and as for whether he lived or died, it was entirely up to Xia Duo.

……

Having dealt with Kalano, the purpose of Xia Duo's trip to Yierlan was more than half completed; the rest was pure profit. While calculating the arrival time of the teleporter, he calmly set up his true home field.

Considering that the teleporter might be Dafuni or someone else with Taiweimansa Mythallar Permission, Xia Duo intended to reconstruct the Mythallar within this area, which was not an easy task to complete.

So he took a shortcut and disguised the open interface of the Mythallar; this is something only those who have obtained Permission can do. Theoretically, Dafuni could also do it, but Xia Duo had already seized the initiative.

Unless Dafuni maintains a connection with the Mythallar at all times, it is unlikely she would discover Xia Duo's operation; otherwise, in a panic, it is very easy to be deceived.

And maintaining a connection with the Mythallar at all times is not the choice of all Spellcasters; most Spellcasters only retain the part of the connection state for identity verification to confirm their identity, and once disconnected, they may need to re-verify.

This is also the state most commonly maintained by those with ordinary Permission; if one were to link all open interfaces within their Permission, it is indeed possible, but it is also easier to expose one's privacy to those with higher Permission, such as precise location and movement trajectory.

How could the Illuminati members hiding in Taiweimansa expose their precise location and movement trajectory to the Yierlan authorities!

So Xia Duo can now gamble without any burden; if he wins the gamble, he will of course make a huge profit, and even if he loses, it is nothing more than a draw for both sides, with neither having the advantage of the terrain, but he still has the Thought Robe, so he will ultimately still be able to hold the upper hand.

Just like that, Xia Duo quickly completed the reconstruction of the Mythallar verification mechanism; by disguising the open interface, this approach is equivalent to building another gate outside someone else's front door.

If the other party has not been maintaining a connection with the Mythallar and foolishly links to the Mythallar, they will only end up linking to the Circular Verification Component set up by Xia Duo, and will be unable to link to the true Mythallar verification system.

Thus, they would be unable to exercise the corresponding Permission.

"Let's see if you're dumbfounded!"

Xia Duo was quite proud of this handling of his; although he borrowed the Wisdom of other users in the Spirit Thought Network, if he did not have his own profound foundation in the field of Mythallar, it would have been impossible to complete.

Now, he just waits for the fish to fall into the net.

Time passed bit by bit, and suddenly the Magic Net within the target area vibrated violently, and the space itself seemed to produce the same vibration, resulting in a momentary misty blur, but the next moment it instantly returned to being invisible.

During this process, an Elf female whose face was obscured by a Star Veil suddenly appeared in the target area; seeing this figure, Xia Duo's heart shook, and he secretly thought: as expected!

Very few people have seen Dafuni's true appearance; at least in the Netheril Embassy's data, there is no image of Dafuni's true appearance, but she has a feature widely known to the outside world, which is that her face is always covered by a veil that seems to be made of starlight.

Through the veil, one can only tell that she is a good-looking female Elf, but cannot distinguish more specific native features, except for her eyes—

The starlight that makes up the veil drifts out bit by bit from those eyes that resemble a sea of stars.

Such a bizarre scene, even if Xia Duo had never seen the other party before, allowed him to lock onto her identity in an instant: she is Dafuni, currently the Chief Prophecy Consultant to the Crown King of Yierlan!

"She must know more than Kalano!"

The main target had appeared, and Xia Duo would of course not be polite to her; before the area where Dafuni stood was completely separated from the Ether Plane, the "Wide-Area Prohibition" had already quickly covered it.

And it reached directly into the Ether Plane, as well as all transit Planes that Xia Duo knew could serve as teleportation media, such as the Astral Plane, or the Shadow Plane.

At this moment, Dafuni was like a little mouse that had accidentally landed on a sticky trap; Xia Duo was looking forward to the little mouse being completely captured, but the next moment, the starlight drifting from Dafuni's eyes suddenly increased by more than an order of magnitude.

The starlight that was originally only enough to form a veil covering her face suddenly became so much that it shrouded Dafuni's entire body; the next moment, Xia Duo discovered that the Circular Verification Component he had temporarily set up instantly disintegrated.

It was as if someone had seen the entire process of his setup and then used the same means to completely remove it, leaving not a trace, as if it had never appeared at all!

Such means truly shocked Xia Duo; if the other party had broken or removed his preemptive setup in a way he could understand, he would at most sigh that his skills were inferior to others.

But now, the other party had actually made his preemptive setup disappear completely in a way he could not understand at all; how could this not make him feel extremely shocked!
