Bizarre Realm-Chapter 464 - 58: Shallow Magic Net_2

Was it just his illusion, but even though the Spiritual Library was currently connected to only a few dozen people, some of them could directly call Shawn’s honored name.

Followers.

The guy named Rog had now advanced to a level 11 Soul Mage and had amassed nearly one to two hundred contribution points. The main source of these points was recruiting other members and expanding the trading range of the Spiritual Library.

Whenever a member he recruited conducted a transaction in the Spiritual Library, whether uploading or downloading knowledge, he received a certain amount of contribution points for exchange.

The faith of mages was always quite weak.

Shawn felt this guy seemed to have become his follower, yet different from the legendary ones, not the devout kind, more like a superficial belief. But a superficial belief was still a belief, and his calling of the honored name was noticeably stronger than others.

A metaphor.

Other people connected to the Spiritual Library through rituals, and the first Sealed Object would automatically be handled by artificial intelligence, but when Rog performed a ritual call, a signal was transmitted to Shawn, making him aware of this occurrence.

Whether or not to respond was Shawn’s choice, but Rog would invariably have a signal transmitted, as if specially marked.

Shawn suspected that his ritual calls had signals directly sent to Lady Hecate’s heart.

——Follower Mark.

Shawn paid particular attention to this guy, and this trend continued to expand. Out of dozens of people, some gradually showed this sign, mostly those who rose from the lower levels (1-5 level), while those connected to the Spiritual Library at mid and high tiers showed no such signs.

Inside the laboratory.

Shawn continued to research the Legendary Spell ’Time Duplication Technique,’ which was not easy to study. He had to first apply a buff on himself, enhancing various states to the limit before beginning the research process. According to the standard module of a Legendary Spellbook, the Time Duplication Technique requires an expenditure of roughly one million Gindele in materials, equivalent to a billion dinars in Dorne Kingdom, consuming approximately thirteen to twenty days’ time, plus around thirty thousand Power of Soul for casting.

He borrowed this money from his mentor.

Lady Hecate had advanced the expenses, and the remaining debt would be repaid with materials from the Secret Silver Mine.

The research expenses for Legendary Spells could easily reach hundreds of thousands to millions of Gindele in materials. The research time wasn’t particularly long, generally between half a month and a month. The extra Power of Soul could be substituted with Soul Crystal Stone, which Shawn had a lot of at hand. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

On the nearby bookshelf were Legendary Spellbooks borrowed from Lady Hecate, including—Group Frog Transformation Technique, Island Creation Technique, Lesser Peak Reversal, Legendary Mage Armor, Mummy Dust, Hellfire Magic Ball, and Annihilation Magic Ball, among others. Lady Hecate lent Shawn the easier-to-master Legendary Spellbooks.

To complete the research of these Legendary Spells, Shawn would need at least twenty million Gindele in funds.

Though mages had no money, they still had to work slowly, studying each Legendary Spell one at a time.

Fortunately, Ring City and the Half-Plane—Mechanical Heart were now generating positive returns, no longer requiring Shawn’s private subsidies, and could provide him with a fair amount of funding. Shawn’s main income still came from mining and Plane Trading Team trade, averaging about two hundred to three hundred thousand Gindele per month.

But part of this money had to be exchanged for dinars, at least ten million dinars every month for purchasing various materials in the Realm of Reality. The actual amount reaching him was probably only half.

Roughly calculated, he could gather enough to fund researching one Legendary Spell in five months.

"Indeed, still have to hunt monsters."

A day passed swiftly.

Shawn closed his eyes and sensed, the spell model calculations in his brain had reached fifty-six percent completion. This was the first Sealed Object’s mysterious knowledge combining with his deductions, estimating another ten days to fully master this spell.

Grains of pale golden sand dissipated, the Sands of Time, which must be obtained through Time Spells from unknown temporal gaps, serving as the core element for casting Time Duplication Technique.

"Shawn." A soft female voice sounded.

Upon hearing this, Shawn instantly revitalized, nodding and replying, "Mentor, I’m here."

His vision shifted.

Shawn’s consciousness entered Lady Hecate’s Maze Library, which was the evolution of the Spiritual World, with Lady Hecate appearing as a middle-aged beauty, before a front looking like a complex geometric pattern that seemed like a massive pyramid, constructed from countless mysterious runes.

Last year, Lady Hecate often appeared as a beautiful maiden, but this year, she mostly appeared as a middle-aged beauty.

Lady Hecate lifted her head, staring at Shawn before her, and said solemnly, "Do you think the Bizarre Realm might install a Magic Net?"

Shawn pondered for a long time, then slowly said, "Very difficult."

"But there used to be a faith network here; with it, a Magic Net could possibly appear."

The Magic Net was considered an outer layer network; the true core was the faith network, akin to the deepest layer of web, with the upper layer as the Magic Net perceived by people. Of course, on the Ferren Plane, there was also an attached Shadow Demon Net created by the Dark Night Goddess—Shire."
