Lord of Arcane

Chapter 391 Adjusting Trouble
The current Xia Duo is only one step away from a high-level mage, and even out of his desire for [Teleportation], he slightly adjusted his advanced plan.

An advanced arcanist needs to master [-] knowledge, or courses, including theory and skills, including "Principles of Arcane Energy", "Spiritology", and "Deep Magic Web".

The improvement of spellcasting level runs through it, and if it is carried out step by step, one will naturally become a high-level mage, and eventually become an arcanist.

What Xia Duo is doing now is only to focus on upgrading a little bit. After mastering [short-distance teleportation], not being able to master [long-distance teleportation] is simply a torment.

After notifying Nya of Priest Cole's arrival and the situation involving Rodney Territory, Xia Duo adjusted his next plan on his own. distance teleportation], but earlier.

In fact, the confidence that Xia Duo can adjust the plan at will lies in the Tower of Time, or more precisely, the plane exploration circle in the Tower of Time.

Being able to use the projection plane to accelerate learning, he actually doesn't care much about the time on the main plane.My mentality has changed, and I seem to be more casual about the time arrangement on the main plane.

But whether it is on the main plane or the projection plane, the time he spends will be reflected on his body, so it is impossible to deliberately waste time.

……

Three days later, in the small tent of Linshui Village.

Xia Duo pressed the spell book with one hand, and held a mithril pen in the other hand to make irregular gestures in the air. If a senior mage was present, he would recognize that these seemingly irregular gestures were actually repeating The twisted trajectory of the engraved magic web strings.

The main body of casting spells is the caster's will, and has nothing to do with hands and feet. Xia Duo's actions are actually just a subconscious behavior, and of course it can also be said to be a kind of concentration training.

Just above the spellbook, the strings of the magic web bend, entangle, join, overlap, and repeat without stopping.

After a long time, Xia Duo rubbed the center of his brows, dispelling the spell that was about to take shape in front of him. If he wanted to upgrade quickly, on the one hand, he needed theory first, but more importantly, he needed to practice more.

After all, as long as there is no automatic equipment for casting spells, casting spells is still a manual task.

There were also a lot of practice training in Xia Duo's previous advanced plan, but those exercises were more practiced with advanced arcanists, and the direct access to [long-distance teleportation] would take a little "detour".

This period of practice has come to an end for the time being, and Xia Duo is going to go for a walk to relax. His attitude towards spell-casting training is similar to physical training, and he basically follows the principle of small amounts and multiple times.

Ever since he knew that spellcasting comes from the soul and from the will, he never thought about the limit of spellcasting, and often took a rest when he was a little tired.

During this period, you can either move your hands and feet, do physical training, or swordsmanship training; or go out to inspect the territory, which can be regarded as a combination of work and rest.

Now, Xia Duo was also about to rest for a while, he grabbed the [Development Scepter] beside his hand, and waved it at will as a sword.

He is not superstitious about the so-called swordsmanship. Elf swordsingers are still mages in essence, and it is useless to simply practice swordsmanship without spells.

For swordsmanship and even physical fitness, he only regards it as a supplement to magic, which is like no matter how strong physical fitness is on earth, it is only a supplement to machine guns and missiles.

Xia Duo can't do things like putting the cart before the horse and chasing the horse after the horse.

After a few moves, Xia Duo was about to go out for a walk, when suddenly a message came from Taling——Eberke had something to do with him, and asked him to go back.

It has been three days since the expulsion of Priest Cole. For these three days, Xia Duo has been waiting for news in various senses, but he did not expect the news of Niya to arrive, and the news of Eberke.

Xia Duo faintly felt that it was not a good thing. Lord Rodney coveted the Green Pearl Forest. Whether it was the Savile leader, his Great Xia leader, or the Tower of Time, they were actually very passive.

Once the unspoken rules are broken, Lord Rodney may not be the only one, and other people may also be tempted.

Right now it is the wave of development led by the princess, but where is the Green Pearl Forest so easy to develop?

This place has been cleaned up by the Savile leader for many years, and the most serious threat, the orc, has been wiped out.

So far, Xia Duo has never seen an orc, and he doesn't know where the orcs who lost their lair went.

It can be said that the Green Pearl Forest is already considered a familiar land, almost within easy reach, at least Xia Duo didn't feel any difficulty, what was lacking was nothing more than population.

Population is a problem for Xia Duo, but it is not necessarily a problem for those inland lords. There has been no expansion for nearly a hundred years, and the orc tide in the inland has almost been eliminated. The population must be large.

Thinking of the scene where the inland lord sent a large number of citizens into the Green Pearl Forest through a portal, Xia Duo felt very irritated.

After packing up his belongings, and summoning Layton to explain a few words, Xia Duo called the tower spirit to guide the teleportation, and returned to the Tower of Time.

……

Abeck's reception room.

Besides Abeck, Cecily was also here this time. Xia Duo didn't say hello when he came over, so he asked directly, "What happened?"

Eberke didn't mind Xia Duo's faux pas. In fact, he didn't bother to pay attention to it at the moment. When he heard Xia Duo's question, he replied, "Just now the heads of several chambers of commerce informed the mayor of Thain that there will be no Then sell the magic materials to Saville."

"Wait!" Xia Duo immediately objected, "Didn't you sign a contract before? If you say you won't sell it, you won't sell it?"

"Of course there is a contract, but as long as it is a contract, there are loopholes. This time it is like this." As he spoke, Eboke pointed and sent the stack of contract documents on the small square table at hand to Xia Duo.

Xia Duo took the contract documents and roughly flipped through them a few times. There are several contracts in this stack, all of which were signed with large chambers of commerce in the Mainland. In addition to the Nai color script, in order to prevent ambiguity, there is also a version of the Elvish script on the contract.

He focused on a few parts of the contract. The above content is mainly about the materials provided by the chamber of commerce and the right of first refusal to obtain the output of the Tower of Time.

The details are quite detailed, even specifying the origin and quality of each material.

It seems that Xia Duo did not find any obvious loopholes, and these contracts can be regarded as a model of contracts on Earth.

He couldn't help but wonder, "What loopholes are there in these contracts?"

"These contracts were signed relatively early. At that time, considering the reality, they did not agree on a fixed share. Now troubles are coming."

"Fixed share?" Xia Duo subconsciously repeated.

Eberke thought that Xiaduo didn't know this, so he explained to him, "This is something that some mage towers have first proposed in recent years, allowing a single supplier to provide a fixed amount of materials on a regular basis. Of course, correspondingly, mage towers must also Acquisition of all at market price, this new form of procurement is very stable and beneficial to both parties.”

In fact, Xia Duo already understood when he heard about the fixed share, which is indeed very stable, but for the acquirer, that is, the Mage Tower, it is necessary to pay regularly and fixedly.

The Mage Tower is actually not a stable production unit, and only larger-scale Mage Towers (organizations) can maintain such a procurement method.
