Chapter 937: Trojan Horse Spell, Private Attributes of a Private Magic Net

As soon as he began casting, Xia Duo discovered that the spellcasting elements indicated by Master Bailun were not systematic; they seemed like completely useless operations, unable to form even a normal spell, let alone influence the Mythallar.

Although somewhat confused, he did not doubt, but instead focused intently on completing the operations indicated by Master Bailun.

These spellcasting elements were all concentrated within the first five layers of the Magic Net, which, for Xia Duo, were the parts he was most familiar with and had mastered the best.

Of course, this mainly refers to spellcasting proficiency.

The higher the proficiency, the faster one can naturally get the hang of things, and for someone like Xia Duo, who could perform the corresponding operations upon hearing instructions without making mistakes, he was already a standout among High Mages.

……

Master Bailun's instructions continued, and soon, Xia Duo was surprised to find that the turbulence of elements and energy triggered by these seemingly meaningless spellcasting operations actually exhibited a strange, difficult-to-understand orderliness.

And from the macroscopic perspective of the entire Magic Net, this orderliness was also manifested; although very weak, compared to the Mythallar, it was like an ordinary human standing at the foot of a skyscraper.

But the fact that it could appear in the macroscopic perspective was already very rare; one must know that according to Xia Duo's previous judgment, even a large number of ordinary spells would be difficult to affect the macroscopic Magic Net structure.

No other reason, it was just that the scale was too small.

Perhaps an 8th Ring spell or higher could produce a certain impact, but it would also be almost negligible; Xia Duo was now only one step away from touching the eighth layer of the Magic Net, and he could roughly estimate the effects an 8th Ring spell could produce.

Its energy level would be at most 2 to 3 times that of a 7th Ring spell.

And based on the data of energy level gaps between various spell circles, the 9th Ring compared to the 8th Ring is also about 2 to 3 times.

This seems a bit small, but compared to the 1st Ring or 2nd Ring, it is a difference of several hundred times.

The higher a spell circle, the closer its energy level growth is to exponential growth, and based on this judgment, a Mythallar with such a scale should undoubtedly be higher than the 9th Ring.

As for how high, that is something Xia Duo finds difficult to estimate.

This is just energy; the complexity is even more unimaginable. The Mythallar here could by no means be set up by a single person; it should have been set up by multiple Advanced Arcanists leading a group of people.

And from the perspective of spellcasting difficulty, joint casting can bring about higher energy level increases.

At the same time, one must consider that for a magical phenomenon, behind it there is not only the energy level influence of specific spells, but also its interaction with the entire Magic Net environment.

In layman's terms, it is similar to the Matthew effect on Earth: the strong get stronger.

Especially for something like a Mythallar, a special magic that has already shown a certain self-organization in the macroscopic Magic Net structure, it is boundlessly strong.

To perfectly dismantle it, the difficulty is more than double that of setting up a new one.

……

When Master Bailun displayed the true Mythallar technology, Xia Duo felt exceptionally happy in his heart; even if the hope of perfectly cracking the Mythallar remained very slim, he had learned it!

Regarding the principles behind this series of operations, Master Bailun did not explain, but Xia Duo has a superior memory and could naturally review and repeatedly attempt them afterward; perhaps he could discover the true mysteries of the Mythallar.

Just as Xia Duo was slightly distracted, imagining himself setting up a Mythallar in Daxia Territory in the future, he suddenly discovered that the Magic Net could not be operated; the surrounding Magic Net Strings seemed to be resisting his will.

This was the first time Xia Duo had encountered such a phenomenon; not to mention the external Great Magic Net environment, which accepts all operations from spellcasters.

Even in a Mythallar without permission, the restricted Magic Net Strings are merely like irrelevant existences; they indeed cannot be operated, but there is no sense of resistance coming from them.

This phenomenon only occurs when operating the Private Magic Net of other Arcanists.

Xia Duo immediately thought that when advancing to an Arcanist, the Arcane Fire must be combined with the will of the advancer to be preserved for a long time; otherwise, without the interference of the Arcanist's will, the independent Arcane Fire would be assimilated by the Magic Net once it links to the Magic Net.

Looking at it this way, the Private Magic Net indeed has private attributes!

Due to the privacy of Arcane Fire, Xia Duo had basically not seen much research on it before; it could be said that the advancement books contained the most, but even that was not in-depth.

If an Arcanist were more powerful and expanded their Arcane Fire, covering a region with a Private Magic Net, in terms of authority, they might not be much worse than the Magic Goddess, and could even be stronger.

After all, Xia Duo had never heard of the Magic Goddess forbidding anyone from using the Magic Net.

Of course, whether forcibly replacing a large area of the normal Magic Net environment counts as encroaching on the Goddess's territory, and whether it would anger the Goddess and thereby trigger Divine Punishment, is hard to say.

However, Xia Duo guessed that it was highly likely it would not; the permanent transformation of the Magic Net by the Elven Mythallar is no less severe than an Arcanist forcibly replacing the normal Magic Net.

And he had never heard of any Elf Mage suffering Divine Punishment.

……

But why would Master Bailun forbid him from operating the Magic Net?

The speed of thought is much faster than the actions of spellcasting; it was only at this moment that Bailun's voice reached Xia Duo's ears—

"Lord Xia Duo, I am going to retract the Magic Net. Proceed to operate the Magic Net within the Mythallar. I will give you some indications, but more of it will require you to discover it yourself!"

Discover what? Xia Duo was stunned for a moment.

But immediately he thought that it should be discovering the loopholes in the Mythallar that restrict spells below the 5th Ring. Just thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh; this Master Bailun really thought highly of him!

With his meager skills, how could he possibly discover the loopholes in the Mythallar!

Seeming to see through Xia Duo's confusion, Master Bailun continued: "Next, I will take action personally and won't have much energy to guide you. You must believe in your own potential! Go ahead and do it!"

"……"

Xia Duo was speechless, but since the Master had said so, he had no choice but to try his best.

……

After the tasks were divided, the Master's final batch of instructions arrived. Xia Duo's will contacted the Great Magic Net and completed this entire series of operations.

And corresponding to the macroscopic perspective, the small structure originally created within the Mythallar (compared to the Mythallar) suddenly became agile and began to constantly interact with the Mythallar, as if actively probing for flaws.

Seeing this, Xia Duo immediately realized what Master Bailun had taught him; it was actually an intelligent tool specifically used to crack the Mythallar.

Or in terms more familiar to Xia Duo, the Master had taught him to create a Trojan horse program!

Although compared to the vast and complex Mythallar, it might still be a bit ineffective, it was far better than recklessly smashing about.

Realizing this, Xia Duo's confidence surged; so the "go ahead and do it" the Master said earlier meant this kind of approach!

He was waiting for him here!
