Break down a huge problem, deal with a small part of it separately in the plural organism, and then put the results together. Share resources, balance compute loads, ...... This is the core idea of "distributed computing".

Annan also didn't expect that he had a similar idea in the elven era.

Through worm rituals, they replicate the "self" of a certain moment in multiple ways.

The tasks held by each "self" are encrypted. They don't understand the tasks that the rest of the "selves" are responsible for, but they all end up returning the results of their calculations to the ontology...... It is not even possible to return directly to the ontology, but is further calculated or stored by the newly copied "self".

This is a derivation of itself as the center of the system.

It can be used by multiple selves to construct mega-projects, or to analyze and calculate a structure, or it can be used to store extraordinary knowledge - not only distributed computing, but even distributed storage.

Annan held his breath slightly.

…… I have to say that the elven sages of ancient times were really geniuses.

They were able to come up with this idea without touching a computer.

If Annan was not mistaken, this should be a technique used in conjunction with spells - if the contamination caused by spells is ignored, the only limitation on this versatile material is the "design efficiency" of spells.

From that point of view...... Although spells have caused a lot of damage to the world, the elven scholars who can conduct scientific research without thinking about the loss of raw materials and processing have indeed developed many new technologies that look beautiful.

Even if many ancient technologies based on mantras have lost their relevance because they have been banned, it doesn't mean that they are worthless.

It's just a matter of rethinking the constraints of materials, energy and efficiency.

If it can be weakened and transformed based on modern technology system, it does not necessarily mean that it cannot be used......

Take the worm ritual, for example.

——This kind of human-flesh distributed computing and storage system is undoubtedly an extremely great invention. But it's being used as a zombie virus by the people of the Worm Sect today......

That's too lowB.

It's like using Nokia as a secret weapon, rotten eggs as a biological weapon, and baguette as a weapon......

…… There doesn't seem to be a problem.

"It's been dealt with, Your Majesty."

Zorgen said suddenly.

Annan walked over with some surprise: "So fast? ”

"Because they haven't grown much over the years. It's nothing more than those few tricks. ”

Zorgen said quietly, and the door was opened from the inside—it was Zorgen's shadow hand that reached under the crack in the door and pulled the doorknob open from the inside.

He silently stepped out of the way and let Annan walk past him.

The first thing that came to mind was a broken make-up mirror.

It only takes a glance to see that something is wrong – no one puts a mirror in the bedroom door like a screen, facing the outside.

Now, not only has the mirror been completely shattered, but there is also an irregular layer of ice on it. Let it completely lose its role as a mirror.

"Be careful, Your Majesty. I didn't completely destroy the ritual, I just cut off the trigger. ”

Zorgen stared at the ritual arena on the ground and whispered, "Because I don't want to startle the snake." ”

In the viscount's study, the ground is carved with the blood of some kind of animal. There are several white candles lit in different heights, but these candles seem to have some special liquid dripping on them, so much so that they vary in color.

Orange firelight, crimson firelight, cyan firelight, golden firelight, dark purple firelight, aqua blue firelight, gray firelight, pink-purple firelight.

In addition to this, on the wall, on the floor, on the ceiling, on the cabinet...... Each of them is lined with a dozen mirrors of various sizes. The mirrors have now been shattered and sealed with ice.

If it weren't for that, the light would have been reflected in the mirrors and reflected off each other, spreading throughout the room like starlight.

"The Ritual of Light and Mirrors......"

Annan muttered, looking at the ritual array and thinking seriously.

What is the effect of this?

"—this is a ritual of forced teleportation."

Zoya said directly: "The candle flame reflects the mirror image of the fire in the mirror, so that two light sources shine at the same time - this is the ritual that represents teleportation.

"[Eight Colors of Light] is the key to unlocking Mr. Yao's high-level ritual. The teleportation effect of the High Ritual is mandatory and immediate...... And there are so many mirrors here, which are the encryption of the real destination, and the mirror of the real effect is actually only one side. ”

Forced teleportation?

…… Is this a want terrain kill?

Or are you going to teleport me directly into their encirclement?

"Wait a minute...... Mr. Yao's high-level ceremony? ”

Annan noticed another detail: "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Yao's ritual should have a strong purifying effect, right?" ”

"That's right."

Zoya replied, "Mr. Yao's high rituals can only be performed by healthy and energetic men...... There is no doubt that the corpse parasitized by the worm ritual cannot summon Mr. Yao's power. ”

Although Mr. Yao has always appeared in front of Annan, he has always appeared as a young man with a bright smile and warmth.

But his temper is said to be quite violent—he has a certain habit of cleanliness, which can be said to be unusually harsh on believers who do not meet his demands.

If it's the original Viscount Ostov Dolgoruky, it's fine.

He had a scar on his face that was deep into the bones...... This is the mark he left on his body after he narrowly escaped death, and it is also a proof that he has overcome death. This sharp warrior's will is itself favored by the Red Knight, Mr. Yao, and Father Sui.

If the real Viscount Ostov Dolgoruky performed this ceremony, it would probably be no problem.

But after he was parasitized by worms...... That's obviously unworthy.

If he dared to summon Mr. Yao after being parasitized by worms, I am afraid that Mr. Yao's holy light would slash him to charcoal.

"These are ordinary candles lit with mantra grease, look at how fast they burn...... After they were set on fire, it was probably only more than half an hour, and at most no more than an hour.

"Because it is impossible for Viscount Dolgoruki to perform this ceremony, plus he has been with us all the time, so ......"

"—So, the man who set up the ceremony hasn't gone far yet."

Annan concluded.

Zorgen's strategy was absolutely correct - without a lack of specific composition of the ritual, if the ritual field were directly destroyed, there was a real possibility of alarming the ceremonist.

Since this ceremonial master can enter the viscount's study to set up this teleportation ritual while they are eating...... Then there is a high probability that he is not infiltrating the Viscount's Mansion, but originally hidden in it!

Then there is a high probability that he has not gone far yet, and he may even be in the Viscount's Mansion!

"Zoya—"

Annan said softly: "Let's do it." ”

Zoya narrowed her eyes.

She smiled confidently, "Understood, Your Majesty.

"As long as he didn't run far...... It is absolutely impossible to hide it in front of me. ”
