Chapter 233: The Upgrade Plan for the Magic Array in Hillenbrand Town
Meanwhile, in Hillenbrand Town, after enjoying afternoon tea in the interrogation room, Lolth finally decided to “enhance” the Space Magic Array around Hillenbrand.
Even without Isabella’s somewhat “alarmist” words, Lolth recognized that with the future development of Hillenbrand Town, these Space Magic Arrays needed to be more intelligent to prevent any harm to outsiders who might accidentally enter, which would adversely affect Hillenbrand Town.
Lolth had also devised a method to transform it — she intended to use this opportunity to practice the application of ancient runes in the main plane’s magical environment.
She also pondered whether this ancient rune set could be integrated and connected with the existing rune magic array; although theoretically feasible, Lolth had never thoroughly tested it.
Shortly, Lolth reached the southern edge of Hillenbrand Town, and along the way, she inspected the condition of the entire southern agricultural area, collecting two crisp cucumbers and a tomato from a greenhouse while eating and ambling to the edge of the southern magic array.
“These ancient runes are indeed suitable for creating ‘databases’ and similar systems. The extensive information capacity of a single rune can ensure a more complex and even ‘intelligent’ system is constructed in minimal space with the simplest magical structure… However, I truly cannot determine if the output can connect to the traditional runes.”
Lolth examined the well-functioning Space Magic Arrays and temporarily deactivated one, muttering to herself.
The application of these ancient runes she had observed in the evil Divine Kingdom clearly had some relevance, as the “smart information devices” Lolth had always envisioned could finally be realized with these runes.
It is not merely a simple magic crystal display that illuminates with points of light, nor is it the basic judgment of an automatic magic circle that can only discern “living or dead”—I have witnessed devices in the Evil Divine Kingdom that seem almost identical to modern computers from my previous life.
Although it appears that such devices can only be constructed with an entire Divine Kingdom and a highly concentrated magic environment, it also indicates that this direction is indeed viable.
Today, Lolth will further explore the greater possibilities of this approach.
Although the current magic environment is too sparse, if we only utilize this ancient runic structure for the core component and employ simple modern universal runes for the input and output, and numerous peripheral areas… it might actually function.
It may still be possible to generate a high-concentration, continuous magic environment in the core.
This attempt is to modify the Space Magic Array.
We will replace the simple formula for detecting the presence of “magic power” with a complex structure built from ancient runes, establishing a simple database that can identify whether the intruder in the magic circle is a “magical creature” or a “Superoperator,” what species they belong to, and whether they are engaged in combat or a state of alertness.
Based on these various conditions, different levels of preset magic protocols will be activated.
Such a magic circle can truly be designated as “advanced automation”!
Having already calculated and analyzed this type of rune structure in the torture tower, Lolth did not hesitate and immediately began to experiment.
One by one, ancient runes quickly materialized in her palm, with two runes forming a pair and more than ten creating different sections.
Then, between each pair of ancient runes, she placed a unique and dynamic magical energy, representing the magical waves of different common magical creatures and races, allowing it to connect with a rune that possessed recognition and memory capabilities.
Subsequently, when a magical wave was detected, it would be compared to these, and the most similar one would activate the “reaction formula” connected to that set of runes.
The magic that follows… whether it’s the connection or the magic itself, is constructed using the current universal runes.
Although Lolth was quite confident in the “transfer structure” she had developed, she couldn’t help but feel slightly nervous before the test.
“Well… let’s give it a try.”
Lolth took a deep breath and activated the complex rune structure floating in midair.
While sustaining its normal operation with her magic, she carefully approached the structure’s “recognition point” with a trace of energy that simulated a goblin.
Soon, the entire structure was activated, and the magic was quickly identified, transmitting magical waves that matched the goblin’s rune structure—then, those magical waves continued to flow downwards, activating the linked first-level Arcane release!
“It worked!”
Lolth displayed an excited expression.
Her structure… It truly was feasible.
Indeed, although they were two different systems, because their origin was identical, there wasn’t really a significant fundamental difference in operation; just one conversion structure was needed to easily establish communication between the two.
The runes currently employed on the continent, though basic… had their own advantages, meaning they possessed better compatibility!
The only drawback was that this would undoubtedly greatly impact the stability and speed of the magic circle… but no one ever expected the first automobile to travel at one hundred twenty miles per hour while remaining stable and comfortable!
Progressing from nothing to something is the most crucial step!
For Lolth, as long as there were no issues with the connecting transition structure, maintaining a high-density magical environment for the ancient runes or compressing the entire magic circle structure would merely be minor technical challenges.
The greatest challenge was how to overcome her own indolence to upgrade all these magic circles.
It is important to understand that just establishing these magic circles had already troubled Lolth considerably, not to mention now employing these complex ancient symbols to add new features to each one.
This was truly Lolth’s most detested task: monotonous, tedious, complicated, and exhausting.
And she couldn’t find anyone to assist!
In the whole of Hillenbrand Town, only she knew how to utilize these symbols. Although Dorothy and Kanor planned to instruct her, they hadn’t actually commenced because Dorothy was advancing too slowly.
Even if they truly mastered that step… it would still be impossible to let them help; that would be akin to employing child labor!
“Sigh, if only I had known not to make it so extensive in the first place.”
Lolth exhibited a rather troubled expression on her face.
Just as she reluctantly began to work, she heard footsteps behind her.
“Lolth, Master—I’ve found you!”
Following that, Tina’s cheerful voice rang out.
