Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2238: The City That Never Sleeps

In this way, the biggest cost of this thing is the alchemy circle, but through mass production and dismantling processes, it is possible to continue to reduce costs by handing over some of the non-essential alchemy circle processes to ordinary craftsmen.

Xia Duo told Jay his analysis, and asked: "If only the minimum level of practicality is considered, in the case of mass production, how much can the cost of producing a magic lamp like this be reduced?"

"It is also possible to do subtraction on the structure. The crystal on the lamp post can be removed, and even the lamp post can be omitted. Just one base and one starter, and then the base and starter can be simplified, and the cost should be reduced to 6 pieces. Within gold coins!"

The more Jay talked, the more excited his face became. Six gold coins, even before the family came to Savile to collect it, this amount was not a large and unacceptable number.

Even he, the creator, never imagined that one day magic items could be made so cheap, cheaper than the cheapest disposable magic scroll!

"Then Jay, I'm going to give you an important task now. Go to the magic mechanic to organize production. I'll let Ganal cooperate with you and produce the mass-produced objects as soon as possible. The light of the territory depends on you!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo patted Jay on the shoulder and sent him to the public floor of the Tower of Time where the magic mechanic was located.

……

After Jay left, Xia Duo and Niya were the only two left in the study, but the two who had just experienced the concrete progress of the civilianization of magic were in no mood to sit in front of the window and watch the scenery.

"By the way, I almost forgot to talk about the business!" Xia Duo slapped his head with a slightly annoyed expression.

Then he took out an original note from the portable space that hadn't been sorted out in the future, handed it to Niya, and said with an exaggerated expression:

"This is what I have gained in half a month (actually two years in the accelerated area), please read it, madam."

"What about Yulan? I know how to drill into the acceleration zone all day long. I want to see what it is for!"

Niya didn't know whether to take the opportunity to speak her mind, or to cooperate with Xia Duo to perform, snatched the note that Xia Duo handed over, and opened the first page.

After reading only one title, Niya stopped, looked at the smiling face and said that her eyes were a little sore, because it clearly stated——

"Find out a way for Nya to protect herself from mental attacks"

Thinking that Xia Duo spent most of his time in the time acceleration zone of Floating Void City in the past month, Niya felt really uncomfortable. She didn't know how many times Xia Duo had accelerated time, but obviously not only Several times that simple.

"Xia Duo, you don't have to do this, I am safe and at ease staying in the Tower of Time!"

"Staying in the Tower of Time voluntarily and staying in the Tower of Time to avoid possible attacks from the outside world are two completely different concepts. The former can leave at any time, but the latter requires additional consideration."

Xia Duo grabbed Niya's hand, squeezed it in the palm, and said the essential difference between the two states of staying in the Tower of Time. Of course he didn't want Nya to be trapped in the Tower of Time.

It sounds unbelievable, how can you be trapped in your own home?But the fact is that if you can't choose to go out freely, you are trapped!

Furthermore, the previous world travels came to an abrupt end when they only reached the south. Although they returned halfway due to almost force majeure, the suspension is the suspension.

Although Niya didn't say anything, Xia Duo could still feel her regret.

Therefore, in addition to the [World Editor] spell that can be used to protect the world of mental imagery, Xia Duo is also planning to revisit the journey to the east that he failed to complete before.

"You should familiarize yourself with this spell first. Once you have mastered it thoroughly, we will continue our previous journey. First, we will go to the Eastern Puppet Kingdom, and then go to the Far East to see the end of the world."

"Going out again?" Niya stared at Xia Duo with wide eyes in surprise.

"Of course! Didn't you agree to travel around the world before? If I wasn't worried about Zamdas' psionic mages launching a surprise attack, I'd like to tell you."

"Then now—"

"Now that you have this spell, you don't have to worry too much."

"is it?"

Niya then turned around and opened Xia Duo's notes again, page by page. Xia Duo saw that Niya was fascinated, so she didn't bother her anymore, but quietly left the study.

……

Sevington, the headquarters of the Austrian and French Federation.

Xia Duo came just in time, just at the moment when Iolum was about to leave, "Teacher, are you planning to go to the Seven Towers?"

"Yeah, I've been urged several times. I know what they want to say even with my eyes closed. Forget it!"

Iolum shook his head helplessly, then looked at Xia Duo with great interest, and joked, "What's important to do when you come here this time?"

"The teacher was joking, can't I come here specially to visit you?"

"You, I don't know yet! Tell me what's going on!"

Xia Duo felt a little embarrassed when Iolum said that. He did come here to ask Iolum for help. One business matter and one personal matter. After hesitating, he decided to talk about business matters first:

"My student invented a new gadget. I had a hunch that it might be useful in the future, so I came here to help him register a patent."

"Oh? It's worth your special trip because it's useful?" Iolum seemed to have forgotten about his appointment with the Seven Towers, and sat down joking with Xia Duo.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the teacher, please see."

Xia Duo took out the patent registration materials prepared in the Tower of Time and handed them to Iolum, "That's it, the teacher can also give some advice."

"A general-purpose mithril-based magic-equivalent energy-conducting circuit activation device and its manufacturing method? This is——"

Iolum was a little careless at first. He knew that there were not many high-level mages at the Tower of Time. Xia Duo's student might be a young man with good talent, and the things he could research might be relatively limited.

But after reading the summary document on the first page, Iolum's expression became serious. He didn't raise his head to look directly at Xia Duo until he finished reading all the documents, and asked quite solemnly:

"Have you solved the threshold problem for ordinary people to use magic items?"

"Yes, but it's not me, but my student Jay. I just proposed an idea. All the designs are done by him alone. He is a very talented child!"

Xia Duo no longer needs to use such a patent to prove himself, and in front of Iolum, he still can't do evil things to obliterate a child's achievements.

"Truly talented! It's just this patent—"

Iolum closed the documents in his hand, put them aside, and then asked Xia Duo hesitantly: "Do you really want to make it public? You should be able to foresee the huge impact this patent will have!"

"Yes, I can foresee it, that's why I want to make it more public. The casters have been aloof for too long, and it's time for them to realize that they have the same essence as ordinary people."

Xia Duo did not hesitate to distinguish himself from the spellcasters he said, "They are proud of nothing more than their ability to cast spells, but this activator allows ordinary people to also have the ability to use magic.

"Although ordinary people may not be able to use this to fight against brilliant mages, this is a trend, a trend in which the weight of ordinary people is gradually increasing.

"I don't expect other mages to agree with my ideas about ordinary people and universal education, but at least the emergence of the starter can make them restrain themselves, and that's enough."
