Chapter 275 White Castle Dilemma
"I declare once again that the blood-consuming spell currently has a fatal flaw."
"The reason why I announced this spell is to correct and solve these problems. It is no longer possible to rely on my own mind."
Long Ji said to the scholars: "Dragon language is the foundation of magic, and dragon blood is the soil of magic that cannot be circumvented. In addition, there are also the effects, directions and accuracy of spell casting. These are extremely complex and difficult challenges."
"Trying to rely on one or a few people to restore dragon language spells is ignorant, arrogant and arrogant."
"We must understand that this will be a long and huge project. The exploration, experimentation and understanding of magic will last for generations of Yao people."
"In the times we're in, it's just a starting point."
"I got in touch with Prophet Shibao from Yancheng, Mayor Chapman from Sanilo, Lord Philus and the Furnace Clan from Dwarf Fortress, Lord Apostle Zelkuku from Uda City, and Prophet Yaopu from Crystal City. …We will pool all the current technology, knowledge and wisdom of the Yao people to forge the key to the magic door.”
The Dragonborn Prophet said: "In terms of magic, we are apprentices standing at the door. Let us start with imitation, and use the dragon language and magic experience left by the dragon clan as the beginning of our attempts."
The scholars were very excited and prepared quickly.
Lu Yao, who was overlooking all this, felt a little emotional.
The young man who used to be sensitive and autistic because of his appearance was gone. Standing here was a scholar and prophet who had been facing the wall for decades and specialized in dragon language.
Knowledge made him confident and calm, and he benefited a lot from delving into a field. Long Ji devoted all his enthusiasm to analyzing dragon language and related applications.
Soon, headed by the apostle Philus, scholars, engineers, craftsmen, doctors, pharmacists, and extraordinary people from all over the world gathered in the side hall of the temple in Yao City.
This is an unprecedented battle for the Yao people, which brings together the most intelligent and creative groups in the world.
Hundreds of cutting-edge elites from various industries were divided into several teams.
The dragon language team is responsible for further analyzing and comparing dragon language to further clarify and refine the basis of spells.
The potion team uses [Hybrid Agent] as the core material to explore and try to reduce blood loss and ensure the safety of the caster as much as possible.
The construction team built a dike outside the city for magic experiments, surrounded by white stone walls. There were habitable houses inside, warehouses for storing supplies, and a small lake was dug out.
This place is called [White Castle], non-related personnel are strictly prohibited from approaching, and there are armored guards guarding the outside.
The casting team is busy casting molds and forging, and the apostle finds props or devices that can assist the caster, thereby reducing the various dangers in spell casting.
…
The development of blood-draining spells is in full swing.
Longji's initial blood problem was quickly solved.
The potion team used [mixed blood agent], animal fats and omnipotent stones to process and brew a viscous artificial dragon's blood in a series of ways. This light red plasma can perfectly replace human blood for spell casting, with very little loss. .
The key is the Almighty Stone, which greatly increases blood strength.
But casting the spell outside the body is very difficult.
The caster needs to cut his finger or body, and let the blood serve as a lead to blend with the potion plasma before he can call the extracorporeal plasma.
Although this process will greatly reduce the loss of blood in the human body, it will also cause the casting of spells to require more dragon language support to call on blood other than the fingers.
In addition, there are risks of infection. The caster needs to take medicines such as [Jiuxin Pill] to avoid wound decay and blood poisoning.
The spell-casting process becomes more complex as a result.
The solution of one problem brings about a new trouble.
Then, new problems arose in the magic experiment.
The spell cannot be calibrated.
Standard dragon language spells use dragon blood as fuel and the dragon's unique bones as guides and balancers. Generally, any bone of the dragon can be used as a rudder for spellcasting.
The strength of human bones is weak, which has a natural disadvantage in this regard. It is difficult to balance spells when casting spells, and close physical contact is required. Casting spells through the air will cause a state similar to spell forking or spell breakdown.
Especially when casting spells outside the body, the problems of spell collapse, confusion, and direction loss are particularly serious.
The dark clouds caused by the successive failures lingered in White Castle, and many researchers were severely hit, with expressions of depression and depression appearing on their foreheads.
Lu Yao, who was watching, was also scratching his head.
To create a new technological system that has never been seen before, even if there are objects that can be imitated, the whole process is difficult step by step.
Touching magic may be a little too fast for the Yao people.
The steam stove was invented not long ago.
Extraordinary technology also requires corresponding basic support.
Lu Yao could see clearly that the project of spellcasting simulation could be called the top of the pyramid built by the many wisdom and technological achievements of the Yao civilization.
The series of preliminary experiments and projects included knowledge and experience in various fields such as potions and medicine, engineering, smelting and casting, language and logic, dragon language vocabulary and spellcasting, extraordinary biology... etc.
If these thick foundations are not strong enough, it will be difficult to build the superstructure of spells.
Everyone in White Castle was blocked by skeletal problems.
If the human body is used to imitate the dragons, the impact can indeed be reduced, but the spell must be cast by touch, which will cause huge pressure and damage to human bones and blood.
That would be equivalent to going back to the old path and having to cast spells in a way that almost consumes life.
But if the spell is continued to be cast outside the body, and the dragon bone that serves as a balancer is missing, more infection and poisoning problems will arise.
Faced with this major problem, Philus, Longji, and the dwarf hammer Endless decided to issue a reward for help to the entire Yao clan world.
No matter who or what race, as long as they can solve this problem, they will receive a generous reward: including but not limited to a house in any city of Yao City, Yancheng, Saniluo, Crystal City, and Wuda City; a lifelong scholar position in White Castle; a complete set of sophisticated equipment and a large sum of money.
Under the heavy reward, the brave men came forward one after another and gave many ideas and suggestions.
Of course, most of them are worthless to try.
Until one day, a handsome young man came outside White Castle.
He asked a question: "Why must people come to cast spells?"
Faced with this question, the scholar who received him was somewhat amused: "Young man, spells are tools. Spells that are not used by people are meaningless to people."
"Aren't the spells you are studying derived from the dragon clan?"
"Yes. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Dragons."
"...If you have nothing else to do, please get out of the way, next one."
The young man said: "Just use a dragon."
The scholar gradually lost his patience and waved his hand impatiently: "I don't have the energy to waste time with you, next one, next one."
"I'm serious."
The young man insisted: "It's originally a dragon spell, can't it be cast with a dragon?"
The scholar was furious.
His throbbing smile maintained the final scholar's quality: "You mean, let's get a dragon and use it to cast spells, right?"
"Yes."
"Since there is a dragon, it has dragon spells, so what spells do we need to study?"
The young man suddenly realized something, and he said: "No, no, you misunderstood. What I mean is that we can create a dragon."
The scholar was shocked and speechless for a while.
What a young man, he dared to say that.
"If we can imitate the appearance of the Northern Dragon King, create a dragon, cast a complete dragon bone, inject special blood into its body, and then control it to cast spells, wouldn't it be enough?"
"Why must we use the human body? I don't quite understand."
The smile on the scholar's face gradually solidified.
He looked at the young man: "What's your name?"
"My name is Shang Xun, and my profession is an archaeologist."
The young man grinned.
The other party immediately thought: "Are you Mr. Uluru's disciple?"
"No."
Shang Xun waved his hand: "I'm just an ordinary archaeologist, but Mr. Uluru is indeed the target I pursue."
