Arcane Lord

Teardrop Lake bottom, outside the water elemental domain barrier.

The temporarily reorganized spellcasting team 2 stood still to cast spells. Xia Duo completely transformed the casting process used to seize the barrier authority into a casting sequence synchronized to each team member. These field team members only need to follow.

Due to the existence of the spiritual network mental link, Xia Duo commanded these field team members to cast spells without any delay. In addition, the redundant setting of the casting sequence made him seem to be at the bottom of the lake on the front line, fighting with unknown enemies in real time.

But in fact, the progress on the front line far exceeded Xia Duo's expectations. This water elemental domain barrier was not presided over by a spellcaster, and his invasion encountered almost no obstacles, which made him doubt the real situation inside the barrier.

Are there really members of the Illuminati inside?

But no matter what, this hidden danger must be eliminated, and it is impossible to leave it here and ignore it.

With the acquisition of the barrier authority, the spellcasting team 1 was able to explore the barrier in the first time, and the exploration results were almost synchronized to Xia Duo and other mages in the back at the same time.

"There is no one inside, only a ritual altar, but the ritual seems to be still going on."

After multiple confirmations, Xia Duo immediately ordered the second team of spellcasters to enter the barrier. After receiving the name, the second team began to dive and soon landed on the bottom of the lake.

The bottom of the lake here is not silt or water plants, but an underwater square that occupies almost one-tenth of the lake surface. The entire square is covered by the water element field barrier.

There are statues of elves of various races on the edge of the square, and in the center is a golden altar, with at least three inches of golden lines extending from the altar and embedded in the ground of the square, forming an undetermined magic circle.

However, what Xia Duo cares most about are the four magic tools that are floating on the altar at this moment. The strings of the magic net on them are dense, echoing with the golden altar, and obviously have formed a whole.

And those four magic tools are obviously different from the style of this underwater secret altar. The former has a clear modern style, while the latter is full of ancient atmosphere.

More importantly, Xia Duo had seen similar instruments, which were the excited instruments that the Illuminati had previously stored in the void warehouse of the Tower of Time through the Russ Chamber of Commerce.

But it was more complicated. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the main part of that set of instruments, or a component with more functions.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo felt very difficult. He had studied this excited instrument for a long time with the help of the time acceleration array, and knew that once this instrument was taken out, it was equivalent to the completion of the spell.

In other words, a considerable part of the ceremony here had been carried out.

However, it was not all bad news. There were instruments and even instruments that were still supporting the continued progress of the ceremony, which meant that there must be a host of the ceremony. Otherwise, if the instrument alone could keep the ceremony going, what was the use of the caster?

Automatic casting of instruments has always been an area that Xia Duo has paid attention to and studied in depth. Even he has not been able to come up with an automatic casting solution for instruments in the pure arcane field for the time being.

The alternative is nothing more than replacing the caster with other beings with will, such as the spirit automation solution that Xia Duo once designed, which essentially replaces the caster with elemental spirits.

It can automatically produce real magic tools, which are actually used for casting spells, because in order to make real magic tools, a spellcaster must be connected to the magic network for them, which is something that ordinary dead magic tools cannot do at all.

Xia Duo has cracked the excited state magic tools of the Illuminati, which are pure arcane magic products. There is no other will, and it is impossible to cast spells automatically, which means that it is impossible to keep the ritual here going.

"Team 2, be careful and alert, team 1, strengthen detection, and change the detection dimension."

At the same time as the order was issued, Xia Duo was also using the detection feedback just synchronized by Team 1 to conduct a preliminary analysis of the altar and the four magic tools on the altar. He was also doing the same work with nearly a hundred mages in different fields in the command network.

Some joined the command network from the beginning, and some of the reinforcements urgently recruited by various countries have arrived in Everiska and joined the network.

In addition, Xia Duo also sought more insights through the computing power pool.

Soon, the preliminary analysis results came out. The four magic tools were indeed related to the time-related ritual, but it was not the time-related ritual that Xia Duo obtained in the Metriel incident at the beginning.

It seemed to be a variant, and with the interference of the altar and the magic circle, Xia Duo couldn't make up his mind for a while.

But the worst result is nothing more than the annihilation of the field team. The progress of the ritual here makes the Illuminati complete, but Xia Duo still wants to try harder. He can't watch these field teams that may be insignificant in the eyes of other elves sacrifice.

Of course, direct evacuation is not advisable. He wants to catch the hidden host of the ritual.

Since he didn't cast the spell himself, but only commanded the two teams to cast the spell, Xia Duo couldn't use many methods, but he couldn't go there in person. After all, if he went to this signal source in person, what about the next one?

What about the next one?

Even if he had more incarnations, it would be useless, not to mention that he only had one incarnation. Even if he used the teleportation spell to rush over, frequent casting might cause him to be rude in the real decisive battle.

At present, it was just a staggered battle before the decisive battle. If he used the trump card immediately, the follow-up would be too passive.

So he still had to try other methods.

After trying several ways to detect dimensions, Xia Duo commanded the first spellcasting team to cast a special spell - summoning the Void Warehouse of the Tower of Time. Originally, this spell should be linked to a certain dimensional bag or storage ring.

But the essence of the magic weapon is the various magic elements contained in it. If the dimensional space linked to the dimensional bag is mastered, then the caster can directly cast spells to store and retrieve items without the dimensional bag magic weapon.

Before the Alliance Field Team took action, Xia Duo was still in Tevimansa. Even if he was in Everiska, it would be impossible to equip each team with a Void Warehouse magic weapon. This temporary spell summoning is more reasonable.

This time, Xia Duo commanded the first spellcasting team to summon the Void Warehouse to take a psychic magic weapon, which he had purchased from Kalinshan through the Maired family before, mainly for psychic experiments.

Some of them were set up as psychic detectors for him, which can detect psychic energy or other things he wants to detect.

This kind of psychic detector is certainly not omnipotent. At least after understanding its working principle, Shaduo has a way to avoid or interfere with their detection, but for an arcane mage who is not prepared in advance, there is no good way to deal with it.

In other words, most arcane mages have no defense against psychic magic, because they can't come into contact with it at ordinary times. Once they really encounter it, they will be at a loss.

After asking the spellcasting team 1 to take out the psychic detector, Shaduo did not let them use it immediately, but continued to try a variety of conventional detection methods. If the ritual host hidden at the bottom of the lake is a high-level mage, such detection methods are almost no secrets in front of him.
