Chapter 379: Sublation, Meili

Xia Duo returned from the Tower of Time this time, bringing back 12 Spellbooks: Short-range Teleportation, Dimensional Anchor, Scrying, and Detect Detection, with three copies of each of these four spells.

Among them, Short-range Teleportation is likely the one Xia Duo is most concerned with; extending from Short-range Teleportation, Long-distance Teleportation, and even Plane Teleportation, all originate from this.

None of the three Spellbooks regarding Short-range Teleportation explained the design Principles of this Spell in detail; they all only mentioned very briefly that teleportation is related to the Magic Net, and after that, it was the specific Spell details.

Of course, the details were not complete either; the authors of the Spellbooks only provided a rough framework, and more details still needed to be filled in by the specific researchers themselves.

It really is just like a study guide!

Xia Duo is full of interest in this kind of research because it allows him to see his own progress bit by bit in a very intuitive way.

Spell structure can also be said to be a certain logic above the most fundamental elements of a Spell, as well as the materialized expression formed by this logic.

For example, for a Light with 12 basic elements, its Spell structure is roughly a circle; this circle is related to the ball of light manifested by Light, but there is no absolute connection, rather it depends on the arrangement and combination of the underlying basic elements.

Light is just a simple Spell that guides Positive Energy; the logic above the elements is very simple, as long as it does not cause the element combination to collapse.

In fact, Xia Duo also researched a Light with a linear Spell structure; it also manifests as a ball of light, only the nature is slightly different from the circular Spell structure.

However, the Spell structure described in these three books about Short-range Teleportation is not that simple, but a very complex three-dimensional structure.

And what the three books describe is all the same—

That is a complex structure similar to a bridge, composed of nearly a hundred basic elements; the Magic Net Strings involved in these basic elements range from the surface layer to the fourth layer.

And the order to achieve these elements must also follow certain rules.

It is not that they come in order from the surface layer to the fourth layer, because these nearly one hundred basic elements can be grouped: there are those for guiding energy, those for Positioning, those for determining the teleportation target, and those for the teleportation itself.

It is a bit like the mobile software before Xia Duo transmigrated; the code is also divided into many layers: some manage the interface, some connect to the Ziliaoku, some connect to the network, and some manage the overall architecture.

And beneath the code, the 0 and 1 operations on digits are similar to the basic elements of a Spell.

That is the operation on the Magic Net Strings!

Although Xia Duo was a web novel writer before he transmigrated, he was also a coder at the same time, and even if he were not, a normal Earthling who has received a complete Junior High School education is more logical, more rational, and possesses a more perfect methodology than the vast majority of people in this world.

This is simply having a natural talent for Magic!

Of course, this is because the Magic of this world does not have a very high threshold; if he had transmigrated to a Magic world similar to one with spiritual roots for cultivation, without a Magic root, then of course he would not even be able to enter the door.

From this perspective, Xia Duo actually also saw the possibility of a Spellcaster civilization; universal Magic cultivation is not a dream.

……

At the very beginning of researching Short-range Teleportation, Xia Duo did not think about organizing this Spell all at once, but prepared to finish reading these three books first.

First have an overall concept of Short-range Teleportation, then one can conduct targeted research, and finally test and perfect it as a whole.

Concepts like "general-specific-general" and "sublation" were things Xia Duo had already learned in Junior High School.

……

Early the next morning, Xia Duo was awakened by the Alarm Clock Spell.

After redesigning, this Spell no longer lasts only 4 hours; of course, the improvement in function does not mean the Spell Circle has risen.

It is still a nd Circle Spell.

Because he is on the Projection Plane, Xia Duo felt that an Alarm Clock that only lasts 4 hours is really not practical, therefore, after simple research, he optimized the upper-layer logic of the Spell's basic elements.

Originally it could only last 4 hours, now it is extended to one day, which is 24 hours. This is already close to the practical limit of the Alarm Clock; any longer would not have much meaning.

After all, a day is only 24 hours, once a day is just right.

In addition, Xia Duo has already added this series of Spells—st Circle Echo Perception, nd Circle Alarm Clock, rd Circle Magic Moment—to the list of things to be researched.

In the future, Spells regarding timekeeping will definitely have great use.

After being awakened by the Alarm Clock, the first thing Xia Duo had to do was to cast the Alarm Clock Spell on himself again; although he treats this Spell as an alarm clock, it is actually more like a countdown device.

According to the Principles of the st Circle Spell Echo Perception, after casting the Alarm Clock Spell, he will gain implicit Perception of the Magic Net, and within the duration, he can set how long it will be before it reminds him at will.

A real alarm clock that can both prompt the current time and be set to remind at a certain moment might only be achievable by combining the Alarm Clock Spell and the Magic Moment.

Xia Duo does not have this need for the time being, so naturally he will not be distracted to research it, just noting this line of thought in his notebook for future reference.

After casting the Alarm Clock, Xia Duo checked the various items on his person in turn, such as the Mage Robe worn on his body, the Scrolls, sword, and notebook placed in his Personal Space, etc., as well as the Pioneer Scepter that he almost never lets go of.

The Mind Barrier attached to this not only allows him to be immune to the vast majority of mind Spells, but also possesses the function of resisting divination and Scrying Spells.

He wishes he could hold it in his arms even when sleeping.

The Pioneer two-piece set, besides the Pioneer Scepter, also includes a Gold Paper Document; he has not seen anything special about the Gold Paper Document for the time being, only knowing that it is indeed a Magic Item.

But the Pioneer Scepter is just too powerful, and it is precisely because of this that Xia Duo became convinced that the Princess has a big plan, and the pioneering movement might just be a prelude.

Anyway, hugging the big thigh is not a loss!

……

Walking out of the small tent, Xia Duo moved to the Training Ground; although there are only a few hundred Territory residents in the Territory now, he still managed to get 40 non-productive soldiers (including Jibu Squad).

Today it is Ximeng Squad's turn to go on a mission; as for the other three squads, two of them are on daily garrison and alert duty, and one is participating in Aiwa's Magic Item operation training.

Of course, the Training Ground is not just used for training with practical Magic Items; when Xia Duo arrived, he heard the shouts of "Hu Hu Ha Hei," as well as the "Chi Chi" sounds of panting.

Because the venue is very crude, even regular training kicked up a cloud of dust.

Xia Duo channeled the Magic Net to cast a layer of simple Protection on himself; immediately after, the shouting stopped, and Ximeng trotted to Xia Duo's front and saluted respectfully:

"My Lord!"

"Hmm." Xia Duo nodded, pointed to the Training Ground a few steps away, and asked: "Has anyone learned to use the Magic Item?"

Ximeng was a bit strange; hadn't he just asked a few days ago? However, he still answered again, "There is someone in the fourth squad named Meili who has already succeeded once; later on, they might be more proficient."

Xia Duo was thoughtful; if everything goes well, then Meili will be the Captain of the fourth squad. Skipping this topic, he asked: "How many Goblin strongholds are still near Linshui Village?"
