Chapter 833: The Prototype of the Internet of Things

"Elf Sword Singers are generally used as bodyguards for Elf Mages; they possess superb Sword Art, move with great speed, and are also proficient in the art of Spell Breaking. Unless you have absolute certainty, do not attempt to pursue such targets alone."

"Elf Mages are your true opponents. Human Joint Casting was imitated from them, so when encountering Elf Mages, the first thing to do is to break their state of Resonance. Once they cannot perform Joint Casting, Elf Mages can be easily defeated."

Fusitemu said it lightly, but no one would truly believe that Elves are so easy to deal with. Not to mention anything else, the various concealment methods of Druids alone are very difficult to crack.

Xia Duo also thought of a question at this moment, which was that in the Projection Plane, not only was there no so-called Elf main god, but there were not even spellcasters like Druids.

In the Projection Plane, Elves have tree-herders, but that merely refers to an occupation of grazing trees and maintaining forests, similar to shepherds or horse herders, and there are no special spells to speak of.

Yet in the real Main Plane, Druids have appeared, and according to the former Druid Yatewude in the Territory, the Holy Power possessed by Druids originates from the Elf main god, not Nature.

Perhaps Druids are the "divinely created" products of the Elf main god; the Projection Plane has no Elf main god, so naturally, there are no Druids.

"Once you encounter Elf Mages, do not think about holding back; you must make killing and wounding your primary objective, and this is also the main purpose of this Plane War! Of course—"

Speaking to this point, Fusitemu suddenly acted coy, and his voice became a little quieter, "If they give up resistance and surrender, there is no need to wantonly humiliate or kill them. The native side of the Main Plane still needs to use them to trade for more initiative."

It seemed he had said something he was unwilling to say. After finishing, Fusitemu's expression returned to a state of indifference, even more devoid of emotional fluctuation than at the beginning: "Alright, that is all for the situation regarding the Elves. There will be more detailed introductions later, and you will even be allowed to practice with them yourselves. Now! Take out your Resonance Spellbooks!"

Suddenly shifting from enemy analysis to combat training, the group felt quite uncomfortable, but isn't this what they were looking forward to most? Thus, one by one, they quickly took out their spellbooks, staring at Fusitemu with focused expressions, waiting for the other's next Indication.

"I will only explain the basic Knowledge once; you must understand it yourselves. To perform Joint Casting, one must first reach a state of Resonance. In the past, due to the limitations of the Magic system, it was difficult for humans to enter a state of Resonance as freely as Elves, but with the appearance of the Resonance Spellbook, the situation has improved!"

"The so-called Resonance Spellbook is to turn human Resonance into the Resonance of objects. Compared to humans with distinct individual characteristics, it is obviously easier for objects to reach a state of Resonance with other objects."

"With the help of the Resonance Spellbook, spellcasters will no longer need to spend a large amount of time integrating the Resonance between people. As long as they focus on the coordination issues during Spellcasting, this is not difficult to achieve after auxiliary joint drills through incantations, gestures, and postures."

Fusitemu's explanation was easy to understand. Not to mention High Mages like Xia Duo, even Intermediate Mages like Wensen nodded repeatedly after hearing it.

Xia Duo secretly admired the person who created the Resonance Spellbook; this was almost an epoch-making Psionic Creation. It is not just for Joint Casting; even the linkage between various different Magic Items will become possible.

It will even change the inherent forms of Magic Items in the past, making them more flexible and changeable.

In short, this is similar to creating a unified management system on top of relatively independent Magic Items.

Although it cannot yet dispense with the coordinated operation of multiple spellcasters, in the future, it is not impossible for systematic operations carried out by a single person or a single intelligence to appear.

It is similar to how the earliest computers on Earth required manual handling of each calculation step, or even input and output, which was mechanical and cumbersome, but once operating systems appeared, everything became simple.

Even by the era Xia Duo was in before he transmigrated, computing paired with the internet had become an omnipotent machine; with the internet of everything, one could get whatever one wanted.

And now, just from this one small Resonance Spellbook, Xia Duo saw the prototype of the Internet of Things in the magical world, as well as a glimpse of the future magical civilization.

For a moment, Xia Duo thought of many things, but only one thought was the most intense, and that is—

Must obtain this technology! If the Communication Array in the 【Projection Plane: Arcane Empire】 was built by relying on the Magic Net through various communication nodes, then this Resonance technology of the Main Plane is purely the interaction between Magic Items.

If the Magic Net were completely cast aside, the Communication Array would be almost impossible to exist, but the Internet of Things built through Resonance technology could still exist.

It is similar to the difference between internet telephony and independently built communication base stations on Earth!

The former shuts down immediately once the internet is cut off, but the latter, in an ideal state, can continue to work as long as there is sufficient energy.

Energy might be difficult to obtain on Earth and requires conversion methods, but in the magical world, the Magic Net contains infinite energy that can be seized at will.

Even without considering the Magic Net, the Arcane Fire of a Great Arcanist level is enough to penetrate deep into the Elemental Plane and obtain energy directly from the source.

Linking this to the near future, where there might be super energy sources comparable to nuclear fusion devices like the 【Mythallar】, Xia Duo did not worry about the energy problem.

Elves have the Mythallar technology to modify the Magic Net; when it comes to influence over the Magic Net, Elves are certainly number one. So, wouldn't it be very fitting for Netheril to develop an independent new system of things? Just like the elevator function of the Tower of Time, isn't it also to cope with situations where the Magic Net fails!

Of course, mutual learning in civilization competition is also a common occurrence. If one could possess both the Mythallar and the new system of things, perhaps a more glorious magical civilization could be developed.

Soon, Fusitemu's explanation regarding the operation of the Resonance Spellbook ended, and Xia Duo also withdrew his drifting thoughts. He had already explored the operation of the spellbook before, and it was not difficult to master.

The key involves the issue of multi-person coordination; the experience and techniques within this are not things he alone could explore in a short time.

One must have an "old mage" to lead the way in order to quickly learn and master them proficiently.

This is somewhat similar to a craftsman; anyone can use tools, but the skill is not so easily "used" out. Having an old master to lead is always better than exploring alone! It is just that when it comes to Spellcasting, even if it is Spellcasting with the help of a Resonance Spellbook, mages like Xia Duo are already "craftsmen" with a certain foundation. Now, going to learn "new schools" and "new techniques," they can also get started quickly.

Now that the "old mage" is right in front of him, how could Xia Duo not listen carefully!
