Chapter 149 Arcane Shield Room of Wonders
After dinner, they didn't talk about anything in-depth, but just let Duke know all the arcanists in Penrose Mage Tower.
As for Penrose himself, Duke met only once during the report, and did not see him again for a few days.
As the ruler of the United Tower, it can be described as a day with a lot of opportunities, and Penrose spends very little time in his mage tower.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Duke for the time being.
He is still in the initial stage of learning, and he is guided by Vikas every day, earnestly studying knowledge for three hours.
The spiritual arcane temple has been continuously explored and cast into a temple of knowledge by generations of arcane masters. This knowledge is difficult to find in books because words and images do not convey the spirituality accurately.
This requires word of mouth, so there is a mage tower and a mentor system.
"Your comprehension is really good. Among so many students I have taught, you can understand any knowledge point without me repeating it." Vikas was very pleased.
"You teach well."
"Haha, you don't need to flatter me. I know my teaching level very well. But in the next practical application, it will take a lot of work for you. Absorbing elements, transporting elements, and building elements are all hard work, so there is no rush."
"I see."
"What arcane are you going to choose to build the first arcane wonder?" Vikas asked.
"I want to solidify the defense-type arcane, Vikas Daozhu, which 1-ring arcane do you think is the best in terms of defense?"
"Are defensive arcanes? This is a mature and prudent choice. Nothing is more important than personal safety." Vikas agreed with Duke's choice, and gave the answer after thinking for a while, "I have two recommendations for arcanes here, the aura shield and the arcane shield."
Soon he gave the respective advantages and disadvantages of the two arcane arts: "The aura shield is superior in comprehensive protection and has no dead ends, but it is easy to be targeted to break the defense; the arcane shield can condense a shield and transform various elemental attributes according to the details of the casting, but the defense area is only one side."
Duke has used the aura shield many times. Every time he fights in the wild, he likes to activate an aura shield first to remain invincible.
But as Vikas said, the shortcoming of the aura is mediocrity.
The 360-degree protection with no dead angle also means that its protection is too scattered, and it is easy to be pointed at.
The arcane shield is different, it can only condense one shield, and the area of protection is limited.
But at the same time, the protection of a shield is undoubtedly stronger, and at the same time, it can start from the details of spellcasting and transform elemental attributes.
That is to say, a water attribute arcane shield can be condensed, and a fire attribute arcane shield can also be condensed.
The protection strategy is more targeted.
"I choose the arcane shield." Duke quickly made a decision without thinking too much about it. After all, he could continue to solidify the aura behind the arcane shield.
Other arcane masters have to consider what kind of arcane to solidify for combat.
Duke doesn't need to worry about this, a ring of sand eagles is enough to make up for his lack of combat power, and he can just stack his armor hard.
Vikas did not interfere with Duke's choice, but said: "You can decide, but I have to remind you that the arcane wonders in the ring system are limited. Most arcanists can only build three arcane wonders in the first ring stage."
"Thank you for the reminder." Duke nodded in understanding.
Arcane wonders are for instant arcane spells. In fact, arcane mages can learn a variety of arcane spells and release them on their own initiative.
Using the Link Card is the fastest way.
There are even some powerful arcane masters who practice certain arcane arts for a long time, and they can almost do the same as instant casting.
"Okay, you have made your own choice, so next, let me take you to the wonder room to observe the wonder structure of the arcane shield."
The room of wonders is an important part of the mage tower, and it is where the foundation lies.
Its function is similar to that of a library, but what is stored is not books, but arcane wonders drawn with special materials.
The twenty-first floor is the room of wonders.
The entire circular floor was divided into countless gates, and Vikas led Duke to one of the gates.
There is a sign of "Arcane Shield" hanging on the gate.
"Go in, I wish you an early completion of your arcane shield wonder." Vikas signaled Duke to enter the door, and turned to leave.
Pushing open the door, it was very dark inside.
After Duke closed the door, it seemed as if a mechanism had been opened, and in an instant, countless stars lit up in the originally dark room.
These stars are like flying fireflies, gradually gathering towards the center of the room, outlining a huge structure similar to a spell model.
This structural building is presented as a round shield as a whole.
Similar to the spell model, it is also outlined by countless energy lines. It can be clearly seen that this is a 1-ring spell model structure.
But the difference is that this structural building is far more refined than the spell model.
It is so delicate that each energy line is built with countless modules, and each module represents a piece of arcane information.
"Is this an arcane wonder?" Duke was shocked by the fluorescent building in front of him.
Compared to the compressed and simple spell model in the spirit card, this structural building truly reveals how psionic energy builds an arcane spell.
This is equivalent to zooming in on the chip and seeing the densely packed circuits on it.
"If a card repairer is equivalent to a mobile phone repair master, then the card maker who makes the spirit card is probably equivalent to a photolithography machine!"
At this moment, he realized how big the gap was between the card repairer as a spiritual apprentice and the card maker as an arcane master.
"It's no wonder that in the entire Heijiaohe land, there is only one card making scholar, Penrose, who makes cards all the way, comparable to making chips! This is not a job that can be imagined by the human mind at all. I'm afraid countless brain cells will die just by copying it!"
Looking at the fluorescent building in front of him, Duke suddenly felt a small sense of inferiority.
This is by no means something that humans can do.
The sages are really great, they can build such a complex microscopic building with their own brains alone.
However, this inferiority complex was quickly broken by him with great perseverance: "But for me, the complexity in front of me is not complicated!"
He yelled in his heart: "Xiao Yi, remember it for me!"
Then he circled around the fluorescent building, using a pair of eyes to see every detail of the wonder structure building, and provided Xiaoyi with data to help Xiao Yi build an identical 3D image of the wonder structure building in his spiritual sea.
It took three hours.
The door of the Arcane Shield Wonder Room was pushed open, and Duke walked out with a calm expression—there was no need to come back to this Wonder Room.
