Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1091

On this day, Xia Duo came to Sevington early, and after asking Director Blunders and knowing that Congeigno had spared a whole day for him, he immediately offered to visit him.

In response, Brundes quickly replied: "Lord Xiaduo, the president is in the study, and he asked me to tell you that you can come over at any time."

Along with this message came the location of the president's study at the headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation. After Xia Duo received the message, Dang even rushed over.

Although it was morning, there were quite a few mages on the way from the library of the Arcane Union Headquarters to the president's study. This time, Xia Duo experienced unprecedented treatment.

When there is someone in front of him, often before he approaches, that person will step aside and respectfully salute. Xia Duo knows that his image is not a secret after the princess's ascension ceremony, but not everyone will recognize it. he.

He guessed that either Blunders had greeted him in advance, or the Ain Stone above his head announced his identity from a distance.

Xia Duo had never seen a few people put the Ion Stone on top of their heads in Severton, and they were all in formal occasions, and there were almost no normal situations.

The Ion Stone is undoubtedly a status symbol, it means that the wearer is at least a high-level mage with a deep background, and more often an archmage or a senior arcanist.

After a little perception of the two Ion Stones above his head that were moving irregularly, Xia Duo was more likely to be the Ion Stone.

Generally speaking, the identity of a high-level mage is considered a secret, and unless the person concerned needs it, no one will deliberately publicize it, let alone influence it together.

As far as Xia Duo knew, even before the Seven Towers spread his fame for the princess's ascension ceremony, they didn't use any video data, just his name and deeds.

Most of the people who knew him had only met him in a public place.

As a director of the Austrian Law Federation, it is even more impossible for Brunders to be so ignorant and spread his video materials to many people.

Of course, it may just mention some other characteristics, such as the crimson robe, the pioneer scepter, the Ion stone and so on.

Xia Duo didn't think much about it. He walked through the library and came to the administrative office area of ​​the federation headquarters. The people and things here were much busier.

Different from the noisy busyness of the outside trade area, and also different from the idle state of general offices, this place is really busy, and it handles various affairs in an orderly and fast manner in a silent state.

It was also the first time for Xia Duo to come here, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances. With his eyesight, he happened to see a document in front of a secret deacon (internal rank of the Federation) who was closest to him——

I saw that it said "Investigation on the continued decline in the price of magic net background communication instruments"!
Just seeing that line of words, Xia Duo had a bad feeling. Of course, it didn’t mean that the investigation by the Arcane Federation would be bad for him, but that “the price of communication instruments continued to drop”, which would definitely affect the Tower of Time. profits.

Communication prices continue to drop. There are investigation reports on this point. It should not be false, but there is no news from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.

I don't know whether it is insensitive to the market, or I don't care about products that are not my own.

Perhaps the next step is a price war, and the longer-term impact than the price war is that other magic items may also be reduced in price.

Of course, before that, the division of labor and production may become an open secret that various mage tower organizations will see through.

With the advancement of technology, the increase of output, and the price increase of raw materials, it is almost predictable.

Netheril does not have the macro-control of modern society. Maybe the Austrian Law Federation will take care of it, but it does not have any law enforcement authority, and what it can do is very limited.

In this case, there may be a group of mage towers that cannot adapt to the new situation and go bankrupt, but this is generally a good thing.

This will force the various mage tower organizations to make technological progress, and if they do not make progress, they will go bankrupt; or they will open up externally, whether it is the XJ domain of the secondary plane or the main plane.

If technology is difficult to advance, then mastering resources becomes the best option to reduce costs.

Perhaps Mithril refining technology will be "born" in due course, and the demand for talents will be further increased, perhaps it is the beginning of popularizing basic magic knowledge!
For a while, Xia Duo thought of many things, and even his pace subconsciously slowed down a lot.

At this moment, a young man in a deacon's robe trotted out of the room, stopped in front of Xia Duo, and carefully stepped out of the way ahead, saying respectfully:
"Lord Xia Duo, the president asked me to take you to his study!"

"okay!"

Xia Duo put away his flying thoughts, and when he thought of the things he had prepared before coming here, he immediately felt a little more at ease.

……

Under the guidance of the young deacon, Xia Duo quickly came to Congeinio's study. When he got here, the young deacon left first, leaving Xia Duo alone, took a deep breath and walked in.

A rather simple study that can even be called a shabby one!

This is Xia Duo's first impression of this study room, and in contrast, Conjenio sitting behind the dark brown desk is more prominent.

Although the appearance is old, but the spirit is quite hale and hearty, and the movements seem to be very flexible, not at all stiff like ordinary old people.

Of course, calling a grand arcanist who is close to 500 years old an old man, Xia Duo felt a little inappropriate no matter how he thought about it.

Perhaps many young people today cannot survive this "old man"!

"Master Conjenio!"

Xia Duo saluted respectfully, even if he didn't salute for his strength, status, status, or prestige, even if the other party was close to 500 years old, it was worthy of Xia Duo, a junior who always respected the old and loved the young.

Hearing Xia Duo's voice, Conjenio didn't put on airs of an elder or a high-ranking person at all, put down the documents and volumes he was sorting out, and got up to say hello:

"sit!"

He pointed to a chair near the door of the study and motioned for Xia Duo to sit down and talk. said:
"Sit down, I don't have so many polite etiquette here, just treat it as a meeting and chat between friends."

Conjenio's words were sincere, and there was no element of acting, so Xia Duo didn't pretend to refuse any more, but accepted it obediently.

After sitting down, Xia Duo didn't hide anything, but went straight to the point, "Master, Xia Duo's visit is mainly to get some advice about magic, Netheril, and elves from the master."

In this regard, Congeigno did not show any surprises. His long life span was enough for him to see all kinds of people and various situations.
