Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1427 Industrial Design Standard Equipment
"But my lord, even if such a person is a territory guard, there are not many!"

Gibb was originally the commander of the Territory Guard, and the training for the members of the Territory Guard to use magic items was provided by his life-and-death brother Aiwa. He knew the real situation of the Territory Guard better than anyone else.

Gibb knew very well how many people in the current territorial guard could use magic items proficiently, there were less than a hundred, and he could even report the names of those people one by one.

As for the situation in the security station, apart from himself, only a few subordinates he brought over from the territory guard would use magic items.

From Gibb's point of view, to defend the long passage of 25 Xinli and ensure that nothing goes wrong, even if all the 100 people are brought here, it may not be enough.

After all, magic items have a limit of use, and the mode is fixed, so it is difficult to adapt to the situation.

Unless these 100 people are all mages and can cast spells freely.

Thinking of this, Gibb couldn't help but his eyes brightened, thinking of the Tower of Time mages who were following Atwood to organize pioneers in the north of the [Great Xia-Saville Passage] recently.

If some mages can also be sent to him, perhaps such a task will not be difficult to complete.

It’s just that Gibb couldn’t express such a thought at all. Even if he could understand Lord Lord’s desire to treat mages as ordinary people, that was Lord Lord. For him, mages were still the existence he only dared to look up to. .

This kind of thinking can only be made up in my own mind. If I really say it, even if the lord is unified, he himself may not dare to command one or more official mages.

But for Xia Duo, when he raised this matter, he had already prepared countermeasures. The shortage of manpower mentioned by Gibb was not a problem at all in his opinion.

"The tools prepared for you this time will no longer be some basic magic scrolls, but real magic equipment, enough for a few people to have quick response and powerful combat capabilities."

"My lord, I don't know what tool it is. If the operation is too complicated, we won't be able to use it!"

……

Gibb mentioned a problem that ordinary people cannot avoid when using magic items. Generally speaking, being able to use magic items means having the ability to cast spells.

And if you can use complex magic items, you have the potential, or talent, to become a true spellcaster.

It is not impossible that potential and talent will be buried, but these are already adults, have not been exposed to magic for a long time, and have only received some assault training in the past one or two years. What is the probability that they can catch up quickly?
Therefore, for ordinary people, especially adults among them, learning to use relatively fixed magic scrolls is already the limit.

If they can learn more complex magic items, such a person should perhaps develop directly towards spellcasters.

However, since Xia Duo said it was a new tool, he naturally couldn't fail to consider these.

Normally, except for a few passive and synchronous magic items, most magic items are not designed for ordinary people, but his new tool is not.

Although it may only be the current generation, Xia Duo will also consider their spellcasting limits and make a special ease-of-use optimization design at the operational level.

In fact, even in the future with a surge in the number of spellcasters, simplicity and ease of use will be the development trend.

This is actually the concept of industrial design. In the current era of Netheril, naturally, not many mages consider this. They think more about the actual effect of magic items.

As for the use experience, energy consumption, materials, appearance, and even whether it will cause irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, etc., unless the objective conditions are really unavoidable, otherwise it is generally not within the scope of consideration.

Maybe just do it casually, and rarely do special design.

In this regard, the elves have obviously come to the forefront, at least in terms of user experience and appearance, elf magic items are quite a distance ahead of humans.

Although the new tools promised by Xia Duo have not yet been produced, the belly drafts have already begun to be designed when he arranged for Aiwa to train the members of the territory guard to use magic items.

Basically, it can be regarded as the standard equipment for security officers and soldiers in the future territory.

……

"Gibb, you don't have to worry about the new tool, as long as you can use the magic scroll proficiently, the new tool will only be a handy tool for you, not a hidden danger for your life.

"As for the new tool, because it hasn't been produced yet, there may be changes, so I won't talk about it for now, but the general direction has been determined. Let me give you a hint. What ability do you envy the mage most?"

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo glanced at the other people in the conference room, "You can also guess."

"What ability do you envy the most?"

Gibb frowned and thought hard. If he wanted to say what ability he envied the most for mages, it was undoubtedly the ability to cast spells.

However, he also knew that what the lord wanted to talk about was definitely not this, it should be some kind of specific spell, which made people very envious.

Combined with the garrison distance of 25 new miles, an idea suddenly popped up in Gibb's mind. At this moment, he was even so excited that he could hardly speak:
"My lord, shouldn't it be - the ability to fly?!"

The others were also thoughtful, and looked at Xia Duo one after another, expecting to get an accurate answer from the lord.

"Yes, it is indeed the ability to fly!"

"real?!"

Gibb suddenly cried out with excitement. As a ground creature, flying is almost every human's dream, especially when he knows that there is a kind of the same kind that can fly freely, this desire is even stronger.

But unfortunately, unless it is taken by a spellcaster, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to realize their dream of flying.

Although flying scrolls are relatively rare in the market, they still exist, and the price is not out of reach for Gibb, even when he was in Savile's collar in the past.

But just like the fireball scrolls, the scarcity is not because of the low production, but because of the low sales. This type of scroll has a high threshold for use, and it is also quite dangerous.

Like the fireball scroll, if one is not careful, the one who dies is not the enemy, but himself.

The same is true for the flying technique. When flying to the sky, if something goes wrong, as an ordinary person, there is no other way but to wait for death.

Basically, this type of magic scroll is used by the caster himself, because if something goes wrong, he can usually solve it by himself.

If any ordinary person dares to use it at will, he is either lack of insight, or he is at least an expert at the senior level in terms of experience in using magic items.
