Chapter 1090: Maintain the circle (and upgrade), the eve of the visit

After that, Xia Duo had to "power off" the magic circle that needed to be maintained.
Although it is not actually running at this time, in fact, it still maintains a very close link with the element pool and energy pool, and the link with the magic net is also very close.
At the same time, the triple magic arrays do not exist completely independently, but are interrelated and form a whole. Otherwise, there will be no two sets of magic arrays functioning together as the outside light bulb, similar to the "infinite dimming" situation.
The difficulty of maintenance is here. Not only needs to disconnect the link between the magic circle and the fire element pool, the positive energy pool, and the magic net, but also need to re-link after maintenance, and still keep the triple magic circle in a relatively independent overall state.
If there is a maintenance manual, the difficulty lies only in the operation level, and you will be familiar with it after practicing a few times, but for Xia Duo, there is no detailed maintenance manual in advance, and the difficulty lies in the blazing sun array itself. understanding.
Fortunately, this part has been completed some time ago, otherwise it is really possible to delay the maintenance work this month to next month!
…
There are three steps to power off. First, disconnect the link between the magic circle that needs to be maintained and the other two magic circles at the magic net level in a specific order.
After that, disconnect the link between the magic circle itself and the magic net, and finally the body of the magic circle is replaced.
Of course, in addition to the Arcane Crystal, which is the core of the energy buffer, must be replaced, the Mithril component of the magic circle does not need to be replaced every month.
As for the change every few months, there is a note in the library that records maintenance precautions, which is about a year or so.
But the problem, Steven didn't say much about the maintenance of the blazing circle when he handed over. Xia Duo didn't know how long the mithril component of the circle was running.
To be on the safe side, he is going to replace it with a new one, and for the other two-tier mithril components of the magic circle, in the next two months, he is also preparing to replace it with a new one.
As for the maintenance of the watchtower itself, it doesn't need to be so frequent. After all, other places are not like the blazing sun array, where a large flux of elemental energy passes through almost every moment.
At this point, Xia Duo was going to work out a fairly proper maintenance plan after a thorough inspection of the watchtower, which of course could also be a maintenance + renovation plan.
…
Relying on the pre-prepared Mithril components and Ao Neng crystals, Chardonnay quickly completed the replacement of the magic circle body including the Ao Neng crystals, and the subsequent linking, testing, and packaging were not a problem at all.
The whole process took about seven or eight hours, which was fairly fast, and it was estimated that it would not be possible to complete it without ten days and a half of a month if it was an ordinary high-level mage.
After all, if you have not touched the ninth layer of the magic net, you must use alternative spellcasting when linking the strings of the magic net.
Substituting low-ring elements for high-ring elements increases the complexity almost by a geometric multiple, and the workload is at least ten times that of Xia Duo.
It can be completed in half a month, even if it is very diligent, it would be normal if it is really delayed for a few months.
…
After completing the maintenance of the blazing sun circle, it was almost late at night. Xia Duo continued to check the main energy transmission line of the watch tower while she was still in good spirits, and then fell asleep peacefully.
The next day is March.
After Xia Duo woke up, he proceeded with meditation training as usual, but then he felt that time flies quickly. After returning from the plane of the green field, several months passed without knowing it.
A few days later, I was going to visit Congenio. Looking back on the last time I saw each other, it seemed to be more than half a month ago.
Now, in addition to continuing to inspect the watchtower, he also needs to prepare gifts for his visit in five days' time.
After all, he was given three iron stones last time, so as a junior, he couldn't say nothing. Of course, Xia Duo also had the idea of ​​whether he could mix a few more iron stones during this visit.
None of the Iron Stones produced by Master Congenio have been encrypted. Obtaining an Iron Stone is equivalent to obtaining its production method and a special spell.
The three previously obtained by Xia Duo are focused blessing, physical enhancement, and spell reversal, which are very easy to use even for experienced arcanists. (Xia Duo has a strong physique, the physique is given to Niya)
In addition to gifts, Xia Duo also needs to prepare some questions. Knowing that the master is kind and likes to support the younger generation, how could he not make good use of this opportunity!
In addition to the question about Inoxen, Xia Duo was not prepared to ask too many things that had nothing to do with or had little to do with magic. In the field of magic, Xia Duo was too confused.
But it is impossible to visit for too long, and it is impossible to go every day, which requires a good selection.
Those that can be solved through your own research, don't have to ask, so as not to waste time and wasted opportunities; only those who have no ideas at all, or require precautions from the forerunner, are necessary to ask.
With the help of the relaxed state during meditation, Xia Duo sorted out the current problems he encountered in the field of magic.
Mainly focus on several aspects, one is the macro principle, in addition to the transformation of the string of the magic net, whether there are more basic theories, and soul-related issues.
The second is the specific subdivision field—the exploration direction and key element units related to the plane field. This is actually the specific technology. Xia Duo is not too embarrassed to ask, and at the same time, he is not sure whether the master can answer it or whether he is willing to answer it.
After all, supporting younger generations does not mean that you have to send technology without restrictions.
Xia Duo felt that the support of the master might be more about the support of research experience, methods, ideas, and even personal connections.
In this regard, Xia Duo actually had many problems, such as why "Papermaking" was monitored, and why Netheril did not produce its own Mithril.
Although these questions are not directly related to magic, they are of great significance to Xia Duo's deeper understanding of the world.
Although he himself has some speculations, UU read www.uukanshu.com, but there is no elder who has lived for hundreds of years to personally explain it directly and accurately!
As for whether Congenio would fool himself, Chateau didn't worry about this. At any rate, he was also a senior arcanist, and he was already regarded as the absolute backbone of Netheril.
If he were to be perfunctory and fooled, then Congenio would not have the reputation and prestige he has now.
…
After thinking about it carefully, Xia Duo knew roughly what he should bring to see the master and what to ask when he saw the master.
Randomly made some breakfast. After eating, he went back to the Tower of Time. Some preparations could not be completed in the Watchtower, but the Tower of Time was just right.
After everything was prepared, Xia Duo returned to the watch tower to continue a comprehensive inspection of the entire tower.
…
The busy time always flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye the time came five days later, that is, the day when Chateau officially visited Congenio.
