Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1072 Low maintenance improves hard life

With Xia Duo's current magical attainments, the inspection and sorting work of the watchtower is basically not difficult for him, the key is that the process is relatively cumbersome.

But if it is replaced by an ordinary high-level mage, it may be fine, but the time will be dozens of times that of Xia Duo, or even more.

It can be seen from this that the construction of any mage tower is not an easy task, which is worthy of its starting price of one million.

After casually cooking some salted meat and vegetable porridge to fill his stomach, Xia Duo continued to analyze the blazing sun circle.

The ninth layer of the magic net designed by the blazing sun array is an area that Xia Duo has never directly touched. It is basically unrealistic to complete the analysis in less than a day like the energy core array.

Fortunately, after inspection, the energy core magic circle of the watchtower does not have any traps or backhands, and the blazing sun magic circle probably does not have any.

After all, as long as Xia Duo thinks, he can cut off the energy supply of the Blazing Sun Circle at any time, no matter what traps or backhands, just relying on his own link with the magic net, he can only do it once at most.

This effort, even if it is as high as the 9th ring, it is difficult to achieve much results inside the mage tower.

Of course, there must be damage and loss, but as long as Xia Duo is not hurt, it is meaningless.The difference between saving people and losing land and saving land and losing people is also applicable here.

However, although the watchtower was taken over by Xia Duo, it was not considered to be completely accepted until it was thoroughly inspected.

After the blazing sun magic circle, there are other magic circles with various functional systems!

Even non-magic net parts, such as whether the tower body is damaged, whether there are hidden injuries or something.

After all, this is not a new mage tower that I personally designed and participated in the construction of, but a second-hand mage tower given by others.

On Earth, buying a second-hand car requires a comprehensive inspection, and getting a mage tower requires a comprehensive inspection and investigation.

Even if it is a gift from an acquaintance, the process that should be followed is still indispensable.

Xia Duo believes that if other mages have the opportunity to receive the mage tower as a gift, they will definitely conduct a comprehensive inspection of such a large object that can be used to settle down.

……

Time passed by in a hurry, and soon came the third day—the day agreed by Xia Duo, Rodite and others.

In the past whole day, of course, the analysis of the Blazing Sun Array was not completed. Xia Duo had come into contact with the Element Pool and Energy Pool Array before. It was a coincidence that he had never touched the Blazing Sun Array before.

Moreover, this magic circle is as high as 9 rings, and it takes more time to transform the low-ring elements. As for whether it is a triple magic circle, that is secondary.

Of course, this day's research on Xia Duo was not fruitless, at least he confirmed that the relevant information about the maintenance of the watchtower in the watchtower's library is true.

Leaving aside other aspects, he estimated that the blazing sun array alone would need to be maintained once a month, and the energy buffer core in it, which is the arcane energy crystal, would need to be replaced.

The annual maintenance allocation of 5000 gold coins will take up more than half of the Ao Neng Crystal alone. (The market price of Ao Neng crystal is about [-])

Fortunately, Xia Duo's current Arcane Fire can provide almost one-tenth of a standard Arcane Crystal every day. If it were just an advanced Arcanist, a standard Arcane Crystal would at least require him to save The first half of the year.

Arcane energy crystals can be said to be the hole cards that any arcanist will accumulate as much as possible. According to this consumption method, even experienced arcanists may not be able to bear it.

If there is no subsidy from the Sevington Council, Xia Duo would rather turn off the "light bulb" outside now.

But if there is a subsidy, that is another matter. What Master Steven said before leaving, that the council subsidy can cover the maintenance of the entire watchtower, is not entirely a word of comfort.

If done properly, there may even be a lot of surplus!
The most direct operation is of course to reduce the power of the "bulb" outside, so that the blazing sun circle does not need to be in a high output state for a long time, and the maintenance cost will be greatly reduced.

But the Severton Council is not stupid. Maybe the watchtower can cheat subsidies like this when it is in the hands of the princess, but it may not be so cheap when it is in the hands of Xia Duo and Niya.

Xia Duo is not going to use this method to cheat subsidies for the time being, he is going to use some more conventional methods to reduce maintenance costs.

Such as regular inspection, regular use, and even optimizing the efficiency of the magic circle in terms of energy transmission, including the principle of magic or engineering technology.

While waiting for the arrival of Rodite and others, Xia Duo continued to analyze the blazing sun circle, and at the same time began to calculate the corresponding watchtower improvement plan.

However, there is still a more pressing issue in front of him, and that is - the maintenance of the Blazing Sun Magic Circle this month.

Now it is less than ten days before the end of the month, that is to say, Xia Duo needs to complete the analysis of the Blazing Sun Circle within ten days and complete the maintenance.

Of course, it is also possible to maintain without completing the analysis work, but after all, it was someone else's territory before, so there will always be some worries.

The ten-day maintenance is relatively tight. Although due to the existence of the triple magic circle, the maintenance work can be delayed by up to two months, it still needs to be done.

It's a pity that the apprentices in the Tower of Time haven't grown up yet, otherwise it would be great to randomly assign a few apprentices who have become high-level mages, and call it "practice training"!
It's a pity that the only ones in the Tower of Time who are capable of maintaining the Blazing Sun Circle are Niya, Eberke and De Parker.

Niya didn't even take over the watchtower, so she probably didn't want to waste time maintaining it; Abeke, who was entrusted by him, was busy repairing the magic net outside the Tower of Time!
As for Depak, after all, he has just become a high-level mage. Although he is very experienced in making magic items, he has also participated in the maintenance of the outdated tower many times.

But the maintenance of the blazing sun circle, unlike the maintenance of the Tower of Time, can be broken down into small tasks that best suit individual abilities under the assignment and command of the tower spirit. Xia Duo is really worried that De Parker will blow up the maintenance of the blazing sun circle.

That's just him doing it.

"Sure enough, I'm still working hard!"

Xia Duo couldn't help sighing, and at the same time, in his heart, he became less interested in the next exploration of the ruins.

However, the state of existence of the ruins he is interested in also has a time limit, and the overlapping state of the planes has shown signs of separation. Maybe someday, the ruins will completely collapse.

Therefore, we must seize the time to investigate, test, and research.

Compared with before, after becoming a senior arcanist, it can be said that the time has become a lot more generous, but it can't hold back a lot of things!

Just as he was thinking, Rodite's summons requesting the watchtower to transmit the pass key of the magic circle finally arrived. Xia Duo set it up and sent it quickly.

The sooner you complete the agreement to explore the ruins, the sooner you can do your own thing.

　The general topographic map of Netheril has been updated, including the geographical relationship between Asker, Janis, Watch Island, Narrow Sea, Severton, Lake Mecht, and Savile Land.

The ruins of the Mage Tower explored this time are in the forest south of the Denis Peninsula.
