Chapter 657: Synchronization, Paralysis, Aoshi

The so-called "bridging" experiment is, in fact, the process of thoroughly decomposing and unfolding the outer structure of a Spellbook; completing the bridging experiment does not equate to unlocking the encryption of the Spellbook.

However, completing the bridging is almost equivalent to Xia Duo and Niya mastering all the information of the outer structure of the Fielder Spellbook, even if some of the information is essentially higher than the 5th Circle.

Under these circumstances, decryption is merely a formality; Xia Duo only slightly adjusted the connection between certain external Mithril Components and the Magic Net, artificially causing a partial "short circuit" phenomenon, and successfully bypassed the verification mechanism of the Spellbook's outer structure.

Xia Duo already knew the details of this verification mechanism, but he did not yet fully understand the specific Principles behind it, and could only roughly speculate that it was related to Bloodline Ability.

And this, in fact, he had already speculated before the bridging experiment.

After all, it was because Xiao En touched this Spellbook that he inexplicably awakened a Bloodline Ability capable of improving physical fitness, and Xiao En never touched this Spellbook again afterward. (At that time, the Spellbook had already been traded to Xia Duo.)

However, Xia Duo speculated that Xiao En should be able to open this Spellbook, and he could indeed take this Spellbook to let Xiao En try, but what Xia Duo wanted was not just the content inside the Spellbook; more importantly, it was the Spellbook itself!

Moreover, whether letting Xiao En open this Spellbook would cause him to have any unrealistic ideas, no one knows, and this does not align with Xia Duo's interests.

……

After bypassing the Spellbook's verification mechanism, Xia Duo was already able to link himself with the Spellbook; this is a necessary condition for the use of most complex Magic Items, and this process can also be called "Synchronization."

Synchronization can be performed actively or passively; some Magic Items can slowly synchronize with the user just by being carried on one's person for a long time.

However, with this kind of passive synchronization, once the Magic Item leaves the user for too long, it must be synchronized again to be used normally, and this time is roughly equivalent to the time of passive synchronization.

Xia Duo naturally would not carry this pile of things on the experimental table with him; he chose active synchronization, which is essentially linking the influence of himself and the Spellbook body on the Magic Net.

Specifically, it is linking the specific parts of the Magic Net String condensed on the Spellbook with the Magic Net String condensed on himself.

In this world, all things influence the Magic Net; even an ordinary person will have Magic Net String condensed on their body, and any Spell will have a response from the Magic Net String.

And the Magic Net String is essentially a type of energy operation channel; if this did not exist, then all Magic and all Spells would not exist.

The so-called "Magic Net Essence" is the study of the properties of the Magic Net String; the so-called "Spell Principles" are, in essence, the laws of energy operation.

The combination of the two is the "Magic Essence."

If one only wants to cast a Spell, there are many methods, but if one wants to become an Arcanist, it is basically impossible without an understanding of the "Magic Essence."

Because Arcane Fire is not generated naturally, but is actively created by an Arcanist who has mastered the Principles.

An ordinary Mage, even if they obtain a high-quality Spellbook, does not have the ability to crack it on their own, but for an Arcanist, cracking it is only a matter of time and a question of whether it is worth doing.

……

Linking himself to the Spellbook was basically equivalent to becoming the master of the Spellbook; Xia Duo quickly found the connection between the outer structure and the overall Energy Circulation of the Spellbook, and interrupted this connection.

Every action must have feedback; this approach of Xia Duo's caused the clusters of external Mithril Components, which were originally distributed on the experimental table and constantly emitting Magic Aura, to extinguish one by one in an instant.

In other words, Xia Duo extremely precisely paralyzed part of the Spellbook's functions, and it was a permanent paralysis.

Some of the Energy Cores in the various external Mithril Component clusters on the experimental table were also impacted by energy during this process, undergoing severe Elemental Transmutation reactions, and were almost completely scrapped.

Moreover, Xia Duo also knew that these seemingly intact Mithril Components had also undergone Elemental Transmutation, with some Mithril being converted into other substances, thereby affecting the purity of the Mithril and the efficiency of future reuse.

But he did not care at all; compared to the gains obtained from decomposing the Spellbook one by one, these Gemstones and Mithril were not worth mentioning, and even the content recorded in the Spellbook was inferior in value compared to the gains from the cracking process.

However, this thought of Xia Duo's was soon slapped down.

When he moved the discarded external Mithril Components and a large number of wooden supports away from the experimental table, he opened the Fielder Spellbook that was still placed in that lead box.

After looking at the content inside, he realized that both Niya and himself had underestimated the content of this Spellbook.

Because, opening the cover, the first page of the Spellbook had this passage written on it—

"Gifted to my most talented student, the newly promoted Arcanist Fielder, may you have a smooth journey on the Arcane Path!"

The signature below was the name of a person called "Aoshi," and after that was a mark that Xia Duo was very familiar with—an open book, and a very simple Arcane Geometry Diagram on the book.

This is the exclusive mark of Morien Tower; that simple Arcane Geometry Diagram represents 【Light】, and its meaning lies in commemorating the birth of "Arcane Geometry," which originally started at Morien Tower.

The Arcane Geometry Diagram for 【Light】 is considered one of the earliest batches; perhaps it was because this shape was more aesthetically pleasing that it was chosen as the mark of the Tower.

And Xia Duo also had an impression of this name; he vaguely remembered seeing it somewhere, but he really couldn't recall who it was or what their achievements were for a moment.

But from this alone, it can be seen that Fielder was not simple; he was very likely an Arcanist of Morien Tower. Although it is unknown why no fame was spread later, judging from his teacher's words, he might well have been a Great Arcanist Seed.

The Spellbook of a genius Arcanist—the content inside would surely not be cheap!

"Niya, have you heard of this Aoshi? If the information here is correct, his student is an Arcanist, so he himself must at least be a Senior Arcanist, right!"

"Aoshi?"

Niya tilted her head, as if she were seriously trying to recall. Just when Xia Duo thought that Niya didn't know either, Niya suddenly said "Ah," "I thought of it!"

"Thought of it? Who is it?" Xia Duo asked hurriedly.

"Wait, let me find some information!"

While Niya was speaking, a not-very-thick booklet was suddenly transmitted over. When Xia Duo saw the appearance of this booklet, he immediately thought of where he had seen this name.

It was this book!

He had read it!
