Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2216 Free Training
Most spellcasters believe in the principle of "equivalent exchange". Of course, the "price" here does not refer to the price, but the value they agree with. That is to say, as long as the spellcaster is willing, it is also possible to spend a gold coin and only buy a piece of paper. of.

In the same way, it is also possible to exchange one or more gold coins with only a piece of paper.

No matter how much the cost is, tangible or intangible, there is always a price, so when Cliff heard Xia Duo mention "free", he instinctively repelled it.

"Lord Xiaduo, let's make a price!"

"It's really free, but you have also seen that Mythra's body needs to be maintained by a suspension base. This is actually the characteristic of the David string material itself. The material can be free, but storage and transportation always require costs."

For free, Xia Duo did not lie. The spell to create David String is actually very simple, but the key point is not the spell itself, but the casting environment.

"The material projection of the strings of the magic net to the arcane energy", the most important of which is the arcane energy that acts as the medium of magic.

If the caster is not an arcanist, he can only choose to consume arcane crystals when he casts a spell. At the beginning, when David studied "the material projection of the magic string on the elements", he consumed a large amount of reserves in the element pool of the Tower of Time as a projection medium.

When an arcanist casts a spell, the arcane energy used as the projection medium will be consumed first, but after the David string is generated, it will be returned to the arcane fire, which is equivalent to no consumption.

This is the difference when it is made by hand, and if it is made by machine, it must consume arcane energy crystals. If there was no Mythra in the past, this level of arcane energy crystal consumption was simply not affordable by Xia Duo.

But after having Mythra, the cost of arcane crystallization is not to say cheaper than water, at least it is not as high as outsiders imagined. For Xia Duo, this part of the cost is completely negligible.

David's string material itself can be free, but if multiple links including production, storage, and transportation are also free, then Xia Duo will be at a great loss, and he will not do this kind of thing.

This situation is a bit similar to the mobile phone recharge on the earth, or the kind of free postage in online shopping. The reason is that the gift is cheaper, and other costs have already covered this part of the cost.

Otherwise, who is willing to do a loss-making business?

After listening to Xia Duo's explanation, Cliff still had a bit of a realization. Although he still had some doubts about the free one, but with such an excuse, he dispelled a lot of doubts in his heart, so he asked again:
"How much is the storage and transportation cost?"

"This cost is not easy to calculate, because there is no obvious difference between a small amount of David strings and a large amount. Therefore, I have a plan. If Sir Cliff thinks it is good, you can follow this."

"What plan?"

"It's very simple. David string storage requires a specific environment, so we will provide such an environment first. I am going to build a mobile David string storage warehouse. You only need to buy such a warehouse, and you can go to the Tower of Time to install it at any time." Goods, as long as the warehouse is not damaged, there is no limit to the number of times."

"Then such a warehouse must be expensive?" Cliff asked tentatively.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it shouldn't exceed 20 gold coins, it's not even a fraction compared to the Mythra device."

"Then can I prepare it myself? I think the preservation environment of the David string should be similar to the suspension base?" Cliff asked again.

For this question, Xia Duo thought about it, and finally agreed. As he said, 20 gold coins are not even a fraction compared to Mythra itself. He is more concerned about maintaining such a long-term supply and demand relationship.

"If you don't use the warehouse of the Tower of Time, then you need to consider the compatibility between the self-made mobile warehouse and the Tower of Time. If the link is improper, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

"How to solve this?"

"It's very simple. I will provide a specific manufacturing manual, and you will be fine if you follow it."

Cliff thought about it, nodded and agreed to Xia Duo's plan, and Xia Duo was relieved, this part of the transaction can actually be counted as Mythra's maintenance.

The reason why it is taken out separately is that besides the fact that the David string can not only be used on Mythra, but also that it wants to use the David string warehouse to promote the standard of the Tower of Time.

"Spell Design Standards", "Magical Buildings, Facilities Engineering Design and Construction Standards", and even the concept of standards (not only the concept of standardization, but also the concept of Great Xia Order, which allows others to standardize), and so on.

These seem insignificant, but they are a real manifestation of the right to speak, and have considerable practical benefits, but not many people in the current era have a clear enough understanding of this.

……

After negotiating some follow-up transactions, the two parties confirmed that the transaction was concluded, and Xia Duo left the Tower of Glory. He should not come here again in a short time. The thick Mythra production manual is enough for Cliff to study For a long time.

……

Waiting for a Mithril hill to return to the southern border, Xia Duo finally has the resources to build a time-accelerated area in the floating city, and the infrastructure construction that was deliberately slowed down before can also be used at full capacity.

When the infrastructure construction, especially the education area and the research area of ​​the Floating City are completed, the people from the Tower of Time and No. 1 Spire can be relocated to the Floating City.

Although there are now, most of them are construction personnel. In the future, the Tower of Time will be used as his and Niya's private residence and return to the Floating City, while the No. 1 Spire will temporarily stay in Savile Town.

In addition, Xia Duo is also planning to build several mage towers to make up for the lack of ground defenses after the Tower of Time left.

These mage towers are similar to the No. 1 spire, and can be returned to the floating city at any time in the future, as traction towers for the floating platforms outside the floating city, or for other purposes.

Even after finishing their work on the floating city, the magic technicians of the Tower of Time still have a lot of projects waiting for them, and it is foreseeable that there will be more and more of these projects in the future.

Correspondingly, a normal society should not only have income but no consumption. After the infrastructure construction and personnel relocation are completed, the next thing for the floating city to do is to build a consumer market together with the ground territory to allow money to flow.

Xia Duo already has a lot of plans, just waiting for that day to come.

As for now, after handing over part of the basic project of the time acceleration area to the Magic Mechanic Department, he found Niya who was looking up information in the library, and planned to give Nya a consciousness-level offensive and defensive training.

Xia Duo himself has [Spirit Amulet], but it is difficult to generalize the Spirit Amulet in a short period of time, and Niya is almost in a state of no protection.

Even inside the Tower of Time, there is a set of evasion detection schemes provided by Iolum, but once such things as insurance measures involve personal safety, there are always not too many.

Xia Duo conducted consciousness training for Niya, considering the worst possible situation. If she had received relevant training in advance, she might still have a chance to get out of trouble on her own.

If not, the chances of getting out of trouble are smaller, and it is almost self-evident which one to choose.
