Chapter 1265 Entering the Ruins of the Empire and Digging Your Own Grave

The so-called imperial ruins, in fact, more accurately, should be the area where the magic network riots occurred after the border barrier collapsed.

After nearly a hundred years, it still has not calmed down, but a considerable part of the area has become a dead zone of the magic net. When non-arcanist spellcasters enter it, they are like fish out of water, without any spellcasting ability.

Xia Duo is now a senior arcanist, so after entering the projection plane, he is just an ordinary archmage. It is basically impossible to create arcane fire.

Therefore, after entering the riot area of ​​the Magic Network, he carefully flew close to the ground to avoid being too fast and accidentally rushing into the Dead Zone of the Magic Network and being unable to stop, causing him to fall to death.

But even so, he still felt deep resistance.

Different from the Mysterious Ruins in his territory on the main plane, the calming field at the five-ring level is enough to create an environment suitable for personal spellcasting. If you are very familiar with the operating mechanism of the Magic Network String, you can just The magic network that can directly calm down the riots with will is only temporary, but it is still useful.

And here——

He advanced with the 8-level [Anti-Magic Field]. This spell is essentially a field-suppressing spell, but in terms of energy level and adaptability, it far exceeds the 5-level spell to calm the field.

Without this spell, he would be unable to move.

…

Not long after entering the magic network riot area, Xia Duo stopped. He found that in his current state, it was simply unrealistic to fly to Severnton within ten days.

What's more, it's impossible for him to spend all ten days on the road.

After thinking for a while, he chose to fly upward. If he encountered the dead zone of the magic network, he could continue flying after falling down, just in a different direction.

And if he cannot encounter the Dead Zone of the Magic Network, he will always fly out of the riot zone of the Magic Network.

As he flew, Xia Duo discovered the pattern of the Magic Network riot area - the higher you went up, the lower the level of riots. Up to an altitude of nearly a thousand meters, the level of the Magic Network riot was only about the same as the background fluctuations of the Magic Network.

Once here, Shado knew that he could reach Severton quickly.

He already knew the coordinates of Sevington. All he had to do was change the parameters a little and set the teleportation destination to be more than a kilometer above Sevington.

This was very simple and didn't even require much calculation. Xia Duo quickly completed the transmission.

When I lowered my head, I saw the stretching coastline below and the Channel Mountains that cut the Narrow Sea into two parts in the middle.

As for Severnton, under the cover of countless chaotic magics, it is not clearly visible from a high altitude, but the desolate appearance of its ruins can also be seen.

Xia Duo's descent process was very slow. Unlike when ascending, you don't have to worry about the dead zone of the magic net. When descending, you must pay attention to it.

You know, right now, he has no way to deal with the Dead Silence Zone of the Magic Network. It would be too funny if he fails to slow down in time and falls directly to the ground.

It’s really like “die before leaving the battlefield”!

In fact, Shado's caution was not wasted. Severton on the main plane has a large number of magic facilities, especially in the Arcane Empire. The resulting magic network riots were more serious than in other areas.

Correspondingly, the Magic Network Dead Zone here appears more frequently than in other areas!

Of course, it is almost not difficult for a spell caster to determine the dead zone of the magic network.

If the normal magic network environment is compared to water, then the magic network strings are the water molecules in it, and specific spells, magic items, or magic facilities are the ice crystals mixed in it.

The Mystery Lock is a large block of ice.

As long as you know the concepts of these things and master the skills of observation, it is not difficult to discover their existence and differences.

In Xia Duo's eyes (magic vision), the magic network glows with a light blue light like water. The riot area of ​​the magic network is darker, more chaotic, and changes faster, while the dead area has almost no light.

…

After avoiding the last dead zone of the magic net, which was only more than 20 meters high, Xia Duo quickly reached the ground. The feeling of stepping on the earth made him feel very at ease.

But now is not the time to really feel at ease, and this is not a safe place.

It was useless to be invisible in the magic network riot area. Sha Duo just disguised himself slightly, transformed into Leiden, and went directly to the Second Magic Academy, which he was most familiar with.

…

When we arrived outside the Second Magic Academy, we could vaguely recognize some of the original traces here. The magic network riots damaged the most severely were the magic facilities. As for the ordinary facilities, if they were not hit by chaotic magic, they could still be maintained.

Xia Duo was standing in front of a stone tablet with only half of the text left. If the stone tablet was intact, it should have the words "The Second Magic Academy of the Empire" written on it, but now he could barely make out the word "Second Magic Academy of the Empire". "The Nese text.

Seeing this, Xia Duo really felt like he was in another world. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. Instead of exploring inside the academy, he walked away from the academy.

As he walked, he also traced back his past memories when he entered the [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire].

"This is where we are today. If nothing else happens——"

After passing a corner that had become ruins, Xia Duo stopped and performed a large-scale gravity reversal. In an instant, a large amount of dust and stones began to slowly "fall" upwards.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo looked calm and unmoved, but the next moment, when he saw the familiar set of robes, his face suddenly showed a complex expression that seemed to be sighing or sad.

The next moment, the anti-gravity field disappeared, and the dust, stones, and the white bones wrapped in the familiar robe crashed down, and everything was buried again.

"It feels really weird to dig your own grave!"

Xia Duo shook his head, as if trying to get all the complicated emotions out of his mind. He really didn't expect that Eddie's remains would be found here.

Eddie is his incarnation when he last entered the [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire].

This also means that this projection plane is the continuation of the last one, and it is certain that the starting point of the time loop is after Eddie's death, not before.

If it had been before, Eddie's remains would not have appeared here, because this was the last place where Sha Duo's body stayed when he returned to the main plane.

In other words, after his consciousness left, Eddie died, or died from being stoned to death, or died from some chaotic magic, but these are not important anymore.

Shado took one last look at Eddie's burial place, then quickly turned around and left.

…

Arriving at the gate of the Second Academy again, Xia Duo entered directly and went straight to the library. Last time he was here, due to various reasons, he was not able to read all the books.

He was very sure that the books here contained knowledge that he valued very much even now.
