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 "improve" the Space Magic Array around Hillenbrand.

Anyway, even without Isabella’s somewhat "alarmist" words, Lolth knew that with the future development of Hillenbrand Town, these Space Magic Arrays needed to be smarter to prevent any damage to outsiders who might accidentally enter, which would negatively affect Hillenbrand Town.

Lolth also thought of a way to transform it — she wanted to use this opportunity to practice the application of the ancient runes in the main plane magical environment.

She also wondered if this ancient runes set could be mixed and connected with the existing rune magic array; although theoretically possible, Lolth had never seriously tried it.

Soon, Lolth reached the southern edge of Hillenbrand Town, and along the way, she inspected the condition of the entire southern agricultural area, picking two crunchy cucumbers and a tomato from a greenhouse while munching and strolling to the edge of the southern magic array.

"These ancient runes are indeed suitable for making ‘databases’ and similar things. The large information capacity of a single rune can ensure a more complex and even ‘intelligent’ system is built in the least space with the simplest magical structure… However, I really can’t say if the output can connect to the traditional runes."

Lolth looked at the well-functioning Space Magic Arrays and temporarily shut one down, mumbling to herself.

The application of these ancient runes she saw in the evil Divine Kingdom clearly had some relevance, as the "smart information devices" Lolth had always dreamed of could finally be realized with these runes.

It is not just a simple magic crystal display that shines with points of light, nor is it the basic judgment of an automatic magic circle that can only recognize "living or dead"—I have seen things in the Evil Divine Kingdom that feel almost the same as modern computers from my past life.

Although it seems that such things can only be built with an entire Divine Kingdom and a highly concentrated magic environment, it also shows that this direction is indeed feasible.

Today, Lolth will further explore the greater possibilities of this direction.

Although the current magic environment is too barren, if we only use this ancient runic structure for the core part and employ simple modern universal runes for the input and output, and many fringe areas… it might actually work.

It may still be possible to create a high-concentration, continuous magic environment in the core.

This attempt is to modify the Space Magic Array.

We will change the simple formula for judging the presence of "magic power," replacing it 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 race they belong to, and whether they are in battle or a state of alert.

Based on these different conditions, different levels of preset magic plans will be activated.

Such a magic circle can truly be called "advanced automation"!

Having already calculated and analyzed this kind of rune structure in the torture tower, Lolth did not hesitate and immediately began to experiment.

One by one, ancient runes quickly appeared 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 lively magical energy, representing the magical waves of different common magical creatures and races, allowing it to connect with a rune that had recognition and memory effects.

Afterward, 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 built using the current universal runes.

Although Lolth was quite confident in the "transfer structure" she had developed, she couldn’t help but feel a little 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 maintaining its normal operation with her magic, she carefully approached the structure’s "recognition point" with a hint of energy that mimicked a goblin.

Soon, the entire structure was activated, and the magic was quickly identified, sending 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 showed an excited expression.

Her structure… It really was possible.

Indeed, although they were two different systems, because their origin was the same, there wasn’t really a big fundamental difference in operation; just one conversion structure was needed to easily achieve communication between the two.

The runes currently used on the continent, though simple… had their own advantages, meaning they had better compatibility!

The only drawback was that this would undoubtedly greatly affect the stability and speed of the magic circle… but no one ever expected the first car to run at one hundred twenty miles per hour while remaining stable and comfortable!

Going 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 just be small technical challenges.

The biggest challenge was how to overcome her own laziness to upgrade all these magic circles.

It is important to know that just setting up these magic circles had already troubled Lolth a lot, not to mention now using these complex ancient symbols to add new features to each one.

This was truly Lolth’s most hated job: monotonous, tedious, complicated, and exhausting.

And she couldn’t find anyone to help!

In the whole Hillenbrand Town, only she knew how to use these symbols. Although Dorothy and Kanor planned to teach her, they hadn’t actually started because Dorothy was progressing too slowly.

Even if they really learned that step… it would still be impossible to let them help; that would be like hiring child labor!

"Sigh, if only I had known not to make it so large in the first place."

Lolth showed a rather troubled look on her face.

Just as she helplessly began to work, she heard footsteps behind her.

"Lolth, Master—I’ve found you!"

Following that, Tina’s joyful voice rang out.
