Chapter 275: White Castle Dilemma

"I declare again that the blood-consuming spell currently has a fatal flaw."

"The reason why I published this spell is to correct and solve these problems. I can no longer do it relying on my own brain."

Long Ji said to the scholars: "Dragon language is the foundation of magic, dragon blood is the soil of magic, and then there are the effects, directions and precision of spell casting, which are extremely complex and difficult challenges."

"Trying to restore Dragon Language magic with one or a few people is ignorant arrogance and hubris."

"We must be clear that this will be a long and huge project. The exploration, experimentation and understanding of magic will be passed down through generations of Yao people."

“In the era we live in, it’s just a starting point.”

"I have contacted the prophet Shibao of Yancheng, Mayor Chapman of Sanilo, Lord Philus and the Furnace Clan of the Dwarf Fortress, Apostle Zelkuku of Wuda City, and Prophet Yaopu of Crystal City... We will pool all the current technology, knowledge, and wisdom of the Yao Clan to forge the key to the gate of magic."

The Dragonborn Prophet said: "In terms of magic, we are apprentices standing at the door. Let us start with imitation, using the dragon language and magic experience left by the dragon race as the beginning of our attempt."

The scholars were very excited and quickly prepared.

Lu Yao, who was overlooking all this, felt a little emotional.

The young boy who used to be sensitive and autistic because of his appearance is nowhere to be seen. Standing here is a scholar-prophet who has been facing the wall for decades and specializes in dragon language.

Knowledge made him confident and calm, and he benefited greatly from delving deeply into a field. Long Ji put all his enthusiasm into analyzing dragon language and related applications.

Soon, led by 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 a battle that the Yao clan has never fought before, and it brings together the most intelligent and creative groups in the world today.

Hundreds of top elites from various industries are divided into several teams.

The Dragon Language Team is responsible for further parsing and comparing the Dragon Language to further clarify and refine the basics of spells.

The potion team used [Blood Mixture] as the core material, exploring and trying to reduce blood loss and ensure the safety of the caster as much as possible.

The construction team built a dam outside the city for magic experiments. It was surrounded by white stone walls. Inside there were habitable houses, warehouses for storing supplies, and a small lake was dug out.

This place is called the [White Castle]. Non-related personnel are strictly prohibited from approaching, and there are armored soldiers guarding outside.

The casting team is busy with casting and forging, and the apostles are looking for props or devices that can assist the spellcasters, thereby reducing the various dangers in casting.

…

The development of blood-consuming spells is in full swing.

Longji's initial blood problem was soon solved.

The Potions Team used [Blood Mixer], animal fats and the Almighty Stone, and processed and boiled a kind of viscous artificial dragon blood in a series of ways. This light red plasma can perfectly replace human blood for casting spells with very little loss.

The key lies in the Omni-Stone, which greatly increases the blood strength.

But it is very difficult to cast the spell outside the body.

The caster needs to cut his fingers or body and let the blood act as a fuse to blend with the potion plasma in order to call upon the extracorporeal plasma.

Although this process will greatly reduce the loss of blood in the human body, it will also require more dragon language support to cast spells in order to mobilize blood outside the fingers.

In addition, there are infections and risks, and the caster needs to take medicines such as [Heart-saving Pills] to avoid wound rotting and blood poisoning.

The spell casting process thus becomes more complicated.

The solution to one problem brings about a new one.

Then, new problems arose in the magic experiment.

The spell cannot be calibrated.

Standard dragon spells are fueled by dragon blood and use the dragon's unique bones as a guide and balance. Generally speaking, any dragon bone can be used as a rudder for casting spells.

The human body has a natural disadvantage because of its weak bones. It is difficult to balance the spell when casting, and close physical contact is required. Casting a spell remotely will result in a state similar to spell forking or spell anchoring.

Especially when casting spells outside the body, the problems of spell collapse, disorder and loss of direction are particularly serious.

The dark cloud caused by the successive failures hung over White Castle. Many researchers were hit hard, and expressions of frustration and depression appeared on their brows.

Lu Yao, who was watching, was also scratching his head.

To create a completely new technological system that has never existed before, the whole process is difficult even if there is an object to imitate.

The touch spell might still be a little too fast for the Yao clan.

The gas stove was invented only recently.

Extraordinary technology also requires corresponding basic support.

Lu Yao could see clearly that the spellcasting simulation project could be regarded as the top of the pyramid built with the many wisdom and technological achievements of the Yao civilization.

That series of preliminary experiments and projects included knowledge and experience in a wide range of fields, including potions and medicine, engineering, smelting and casting, language and logic, dragon vocabulary and spellcasting, extraordinary biology...

If these thick foundations are not strong enough, it will be difficult to build the superstructure spells.

Everyone in White Castle was stopped by bone problems.

If the human body is used to imitate the dragon clan, the impact can indeed be reduced, but the spell must be cast by contact, which will cause great pressure and damage to the human bones and blood.

That would mean going back to the old ways and having to cast spells in a way that almost consumes one's life.

However, if the spell continues to be cast outside the body and there is a lack of the keel to act as a balancer, more infection and poisoning problems will arise.

Faced with this major problem, Philus, Longji, the dwarf hammer Endless and others discussed and decided to issue a reward for help to the entire Yao world.

Regardless of the person or race, anyone who can solve this problem will receive a generous reward: including but not limited to a house in any of the cities of Yaocheng, Yancheng, Sanilo, Crystal City and Wuda City; a lifelong scholar position in White Castle; a complete set of sophisticated equipment and a large sum of money.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

With the huge reward, many brave men came forward one after another and offered many ideas and suggestions.

Of course, most of them are not worth trying.

Until one day, a handsome young man came to the outside of the White Castle.

He raised a question: "Why must a person cast the spell?"

Faced with this question, the scholar who received him was somewhat amused and said: "Young man, magic is a tool. If no one uses the magic, it is meaningless to people."

"Doesn't the spell you are studying originate from the dragon race?"

"Good. Do you have any suggestions?"

"A dragon."

"…If you have nothing else to do, please move aside, next person."

The young man said, "Just use a dragon."

The scholar's patience gradually wore off, and he 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 performed with a dragon?"

The scholar was furious after hearing this.

His throbbing smile retained his scholarly qualities: "You mean, let's get a dragon and use it to cast spells, right?"

"yes."

"Well, since we have dragons, we already have dragon spells. What other spells do we need to study?"

The young man suddenly realized something and said, "No, no, you misunderstood. What I meant is that you can create a dragon."

The scholar was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

What a great young man! He is so bold in speaking.

"If we can imitate the appearance of the Northern Dragon King, create a dragon, forge a complete dragon skeleton, inject special blood into its body, and then control it to cast spells, wouldn't that be enough?"

"Why do you have to use the human body? I don't quite understand."

The smile on the scholar's face gradually froze.

He looked at the young man: "What's your name?"

"My name is Shang Xun, and I'm an archaeologist by profession."

The young man grinned.

The other party immediately thought: "Are you Mr. Uluru's disciple?"

"no."

Shang Xun waved his hand: "I am just an ordinary archaeologist, but Mr. Uluru is indeed the target I pursue."
