Chapter 715: The Prototype of the Magic Net



While Old Eggplant was leading the players in farming and developing the forest, [Knowing Only a Little Bit] was also busy.

He doesn't understand magic, but it seems that Lu Ban and the others don't really need to know magic themselves. They just need to explain computers to the wizard.

“…So, this structure can be established.”

After finishing explaining the basic principles of computer network communication, [I only understand a little bit] carefully looked over the notes I had made, fearing that there might be some problems and I might mislead the other party.

Fortunately, this wizard is quite smart.

[Only Know a Little Bit] Because he makes popular science videos, he has met many people with a strong desire for knowledge. He knows that being smart and knowing a lot are not equivalent descriptions.

For example, many people think that if they traveled back to ancient times, they would be able to thrive by relying on their modern vision and cognition. This is actually because people in modern society receive a large amount of information, and even elementary school students can learn a lot through the Internet.

But intelligence refers to the speed of understanding new things when encountering them. For example, the young wizard in front of him, although he knows nothing about the Internet or computers, [Only Know a Little Bit] only explains a little bit and he is able to understand it quickly and put forward his own ideas. For some things, even [Only Know a Little Bit] only has a vague understanding and only knows that there is such a technology.

"So, we can actually use this kind of magic network structure. Compared with relying on only a few gods to carry the pollution, this method of distributing the pollution to everyone who is connected to the magic network can better eliminate the impact of pollution."

Jost took notes and confirmed his thoughts.

"However, this magic network model has two problems. The first is that even so, we still need several powerful nodes to store the core magic. In other words, we still need to find some beings with god-like qualities and use them to memorize knowledge. The other spellcasters who join the magic network are only used to maintain the existence of the magic network."

"Another problem is that we need a large number of ordinary spellcasters to join the magic network. When there are too few spellcasters in the magic network, the pollution is still serious. At least several thousand mages are needed to maintain the normal operation of the magic network."

"Indeed, let's not talk about the first problem for now. The second problem is also difficult to solve in the current Kingdom of Night. There are too few court mages."

Shia agreed.

Through the explanation of "Only Know a Little Bit" and the discussion with Jost, she also gained a certain understanding of the underlying design of the magic network.

In Shia's time, wizard towers were everywhere, but in this era, such buildings are almost non-existent.

Xia couldn't help but suspect that the Mage Tower itself might be a magic web amplification device.

A wizard tower is a magical structure. Ordinary wizards can connect to the magic network more easily near a wizard tower, and the spells they cast will also be amplified to a certain extent. For example, the Gray Tower is the largest wizard tower in the Kingdom of Night.

Now, Xia can better understand the role of this structure. Through the amplification of the Mage Tower, nearby mages can bear the pollution more easily. Therefore, the construction of the Gray Tower must be due to the needs of the magic network. The two are closely related.

Inferring from this, Xia believes that each wizard tower is an advanced node that stores knowledge and pollution, and is a concrete building of the magic network.

As for the number of court mages, Xia couldn't think of a solution.

Even if the magic network can be established, and ordinary people immediately sign a three-way handshake agreement to access the magic network, these ordinary people who have never been polluted will definitely lose their minds immediately, and even pollute the magic network in turn. It is too difficult to find thousands of court mages to access the newly born magic network at the same time.

However, all the difficulties are not as great as finding some gods who can withstand pollution, imprisoning them, and making them serve as pollution trash cans.

Lu Ban thought about it and wondered if he could find Charlotte or Leopard to take over. But he also felt that if this kind of person was really connected to the magic network, he might put some strange, weird, and forbidden knowledge on the magic network to punish those curious mages.

He decided not to disturb the two.

A thunder was heard from outside, and Drizzt, who was confused, looked outside.

In the distant forest, a thunderstorm was brewing.

The thundercloud was much larger than normal, and it was still clearly visible even though it was more than a hundred miles away from here.

"That's a curse, too."

Jost explained.

"A powerful wizard can leave a curse before dying."

"curse?"

Drizzt looked at the deep purple thundercloud and felt a palpitation.

"Yes. The more powerful the wizard is, the more pollution he carries. When they are young, have great power, and still maintain their sanity, the pollution can be suppressed. Some wizards will choose to alienate part of their body to alleviate the torment of pollution on their sanity."

Jost replied.

"But when they get old, their sanity has been completely depleted, and the pollution in their bodies has reached its limit. They may lose control at any time. Some mages have even almost lost all their sanity and fallen into madness. At this time, many mages will choose to take the initiative to end their lives."

"Has your sanity decreased?"

Drizzt glanced at his remaining sanity and suddenly began to think about his own end.

According to Lu Ban and the others, he should have chosen to stay in Lu Ban's world and seal the Old Ones who were about to awaken.

But Drizzt didn't have any method to seal the Old Ones now, and he really couldn't imagine how he made such a choice.

But Drizzt himself does not have much sanity left. With two more missions, he might really go crazy.

If that time comes, Trist feels that he might really choose to sacrifice himself as Lu Ban and the others said, and leave something for this world.

Just like those mages.

"Yes, these wizards will go deep into the Black Forest and try to avoid affecting humans. Then, they will use all their remaining strength to create a unique magic that belongs only to them. This is the curse left by the wizard."

Jost explained.

"For example, Agni the Burner, one of the greatest wizards in history, single-handedly eliminated two demon lords. Before he died, he chose to go deep into the forest in the far north and turned into a huge fire tornado. In the north of the kingdom, when you look north after nightfall, you can see a vast expanse of red."

"Another example is this one, which should be the curse left by Thunder Solar. This curse has been hovering over the Black Forest for many years, causing destruction to the monsters in the Black Forest as it moves."

As he spoke, he looked towards the deep purple lightning in the distance. The lightning illuminated the profile of his face, which looked focused and serious.
