Lord of Arcane

Chapter 828 Resonance Spellbook Arms Race
"Vincent, come here too!"

For the little fan who was poking around, Xia Duo simply invited him to join him. Since there was one more Belleira, he didn't care about having one more.

Although the so-called joint action refers to the joint action of Gilles Tower and Gustav Tower, it is actually a joint action for each specific participant.

Since Vincent already has a tendency to approach him proactively, it would be too unreasonable to directly refuse.

In comparison, Wen Sen, a middle-level mage mixed with three high-level mages, may be more risky.

The only concern now is whether Vincent can understand the influence of different planes on spellcasting. Not only Xia Duo thinks so, but Niya and Belleira also cast a skeptical look like Vincent:

"Do you know how to do it?"

Being targeted by three high-ranking mages, Vincent quickly replied: "I know! My father has taught me before I came here! Really! I promise!"

"Then start verifying from the spells in the spell book! As much as you can verify, count!" Xia Duo directly set the task.

The spell book I just received from the quartermaster is a magic item. Although it is not as sophisticated as Xia Duo's spell book, it is not so easy for ordinary mages to obtain.

However, considering that the participants in this mission are either pioneers or direct members of the Seven Towers, their wealth is naturally different from that of ordinary mages, this spell book is actually the same, but——

The real use of this spell book is not just a semi-consumable item like a rechargeable scroll, but has something to do with joint spellcasting.

As soon as he received the equipment and supplies, Xia Duo checked all of them, especially the equipment such as the spell book, which was almost unnecessary.

After a closer look, coupled with the comparison with Niya, Xia Duo made an astonishing discovery——

That is, these spell books may have been set with some kind of synchronous function at the beginning of their manufacture, which is almost a natural joint spell-casting prop.

Combined spellcasting, also commonly known as synergistic resonance spellcasting, was used by many mentors to exploit apprentices' spellcasting energy.

But the reason why it is called synergistic resonance is because different casters are essentially different subjects. Under normal circumstances, there is no way to jointly cast spells. Only when the will resonates to the same state, or frequency band, can joint spells be cast.

For spellcasters like elves, who have achieved a certain resonance state and cast spells through understanding the magic net and tempering their will, joint spellcasting is almost effortless.

But for a spellcaster like humans who directly compels the magic net, the will is extremely personal. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult to achieve a state of resonance among different spellcasters.

But just as the capital is thinking hard about making money, the mentor will also think hard about the method of exploiting the apprentice.

Synergistic Resonance Casting is almost the first course every apprentice learns after choosing a mentor!
But that was in a laboratory situation, where the mentor exploited the apprentices to the utmost, regardless of the status of the apprentices, and usually there were only one or two apprentices.

In wartime, the situation is different. It is necessary to coordinate the mental state of everyone in the resonance state. Although there are leaders and cooperators among the casters, there is almost no excessive exploitation, and the number of people is also large. It is also more difficult.

Xia Duo did not perform joint spellcasting with other people in battle, at most, he and Niya tried to jointly cast spells in order to save energy when they were in the laboratory, but not every time they were very tacit.

This is true for both husband and wife, let alone when there are many people, and there is still a fight!

Fighting is no different than anything else, if there is a slight mistake, it will not bring any money loss, but the loss of a small life may be lost.

Before, Xia Duo had always been curious about the joint spellcasting training that Gilles Tower would gather so many people, whether it was more of a gimmick than reality!

Now it seems that he still has too little knowledge and doesn't understand the background of the Seven Towers.

In addition, the spells in the spell book should also be summed up after long-term practice, and can be roughly divided into four types: protection, spell breaking, movement, and restraint.

There are almost no lethal spells!
Maybe that's why everyone was given a fireball wand.

……

Thinking that there might be some kind of technology hidden in the spell book that can make the caster resonate efficiently, Xia Duo felt like a cat scratching his head. He even thought about this problem in the process of examining the difference in spellcasting in the green field plane.

Several times, almost made a mistake.

It's no wonder that Xia Duo was excited. It really means that the combined spellcasting means the possibility of the existence of the mage legion, as well as the possibility of the existence of war spells.

In fact, Xia Duo already knew the existence of the mage legion on the projection plane [Mayerita Sukanvisa City].

At that time, he was incarnated as an elf named Athos, and the friend of Athos' deceased parents, and the father of Athos' friend Grada, was the chief officer of the mage group of Sukanvisa City.

But that was the elven kingdom on the projected plane, and Netheril on the main plane did not have a similar army of pure spellcasters.

Even the Great Xia spellbreaker army envisioned by Xia Duo is assisted by magic and kills enemies with swords, not a pure spellcaster army.

In addition to the fact that spellcasters are valuable, have a high status, and are not easy to waste, the difficulty of large-scale joint spellcasting is also an important reason.

Even in the elven kingdoms on the main plane, Xia Duo has never heard of anyone who still has an established mage army.

Now that Netheril took out the combined spellcasting auxiliary spell book, Xia Duo guessed that it was either specially used to brighten the muscles, or the elves already knew about it.

Otherwise, it is obviously more in line with Netheril's strategic expectations.

Of course, it is difficult for Xia Duo to guess what those big figures above are thinking, but he knows that the northern countries are likely to stage an unprecedented arms race.

So what can he gain in this arms race?

For a while, concepts such as mobility, population, spellcasters, and unrestricted warfare jumped into the mind one after another, making a mess. Before he knew it, Xia Duo had stopped the inspection work in hand.

At this moment, Niya quietly leaned over and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xia Duo glanced at Belleira and Vincent, who were still seriously casting spells to test the differences in spells from different planes, and shook his head slightly, "It's nothing, let's continue to test!"

The two have been together for so long, and even the most intimate relationship has happened. Niya still knows Xia Duo better, knowing that the occasion is not right, so she didn't continue to ask.

……

Not long after, Belleira took the lead, "My inspection is over. Except for the slightly stronger positive energy in the green field plane, the other element phases are roughly the same as the main plane."

This is a typical Arcanist's simple conclusion.

Xia Duo and Niya understood immediately after hearing it, that it was consistent with their test results. Although it was only a side test, it could also reflect the relatively real side of this plane.

It can be said that this secondary plane, named the Green Field Plane, is more livable than the main plane!
