Lord of Arcane

Chapter 587 Cost Design and Production Method
The sixth floor of the Tower of Time, Tilak Research Room.

When Xia Duo came here, the door of the research room was open, and a group of people were sitting around the reception room chatting. When they saw Xia Duo coming, they all stood up at once.

A trace of doubt flashed in Xia Duo's eyes, but he quickly realized that he should have asked the tower spirit to send a notice to the members of the Tower of Time just now, so that these people knew that he had returned to the Tower of Time and made such a response.

Intellectually, Xia Duo didn't agree with such a form, but it really didn't bother him when it fell on him, so he skipped these thoughts and took the initiative to say hello:

"Tilak, Dean, are you still waiting here for me? Don't do that next time!"

"We happen to be in the break time, and we don't count as waiting." Tilak said with a smile.

But Xia Duo didn't take this seriously. If it was really a rest time, would it be necessary to drive away all the apprentices, leaving only the official mages?Furthermore, he has never heard that the Tower of Time has any rest time.

Even if there is, it is only when the official mage wants to rest that he has a rest time, which has nothing to do with apprentices.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, take me to see the [Warning Talisman]!"

"Well, Master Shaduo, please follow me!" Tilak stretched out his hand to lead the way, "[The Amulet of Vigilance] is always on in my bedroom, and there is a finished product placed in the Green Pearl Forest for testing It's limit time."

The mage's private residence in the Tower of Time, or the research room, has a similar internal layout. It is not far from the reception room to the bedroom. When the two of them just stepped into the bedroom area, Xia Duo heard a piercing hum Sound, obviously the effect of [Vigilance Talisman] is not bad.

Under Xia Duo's signal, Tilak didn't dismiss the alarm immediately, but let it keep ringing, and the sound stopped after about ten seconds.

Xia Duo noticed that the warning barrier did not disappear because of the sound of the siren, so he turned around and shouted in the direction of the reception room, "Dean, come here!"

Hearing the sound, Dean walked over quickly. Like Xia Duo and Tilak, when he just entered the bedroom range, the alarm sounded again.

"Sami, Edric, you guys come here too, come in at the same time!"

Sami and Edric did as they did. They had done similar experiments many times in their research room. When they entered the barrier at the same time, two almost identical ear-piercing buzzing sounds rang out.

Although the two alarm sounds sounded exactly the same, and they overlapped more like there was only one sound, they could still be clearly distinguished as two sounds.

Xia Duo looked at the silver cube metal block on the desk in Tilak's bedroom, and nodded with satisfaction. Although there is still a gap between the [Warning Magic] cast by the mage himself, for adventurers in dangerous areas In other words, such a [Vigilance Talisman] is completely sufficient.

"Except for the shape and volume, I am very satisfied with other aspects."

Although he didn't actually pick it up, Xia Duo knew very well that most of the silver cube metal block was made of silver, so the weight was definitely not small, and the shape didn't seem to be easy to carry.

After listening to Xia Duo's evaluation, Tilak explained:

"The use of this shape is to maximize the adaptation of the internal Mithril components. In addition, this volume is the smallest volume at the lowest cost. If you want to adjust to other shapes, you need to adjust the Mithril components, or even increase the Mithril components. If you want to reduce the volume, you need to increase the usage of Mithril, and the cost will increase a lot.”

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can be carried and used conveniently by buyers, they won't care if it's a little more expensive!" There is even a saying in Xia Duo's hometown that he trades privacy for convenience, and now he only slightly increases the cost, which will not affect sales at all. .

After all, the cost of this cube talisman is only about 200 gold coins, and if it is increased, it will be lower than the cost of other similar magic items on the market. This is the advantage brought by technological progress.

Moreover, the cost on his side has increased, so he can increase the price in the same proportion, transfer this part of the cost to the buyer, and even charge a premium for the ease of use of the product. There are too many things that can be calculated.

Tilak nodded half-understanding, "I see, I will complete the adjustment as soon as possible."

"Don't worry about this, I'm here to check on the situation of the [Warning Talisman], and there is another very important thing that I need to tell you!"

Back in the reception room, Xia Duo was about to talk about the communication magic weapon, but Dean interjected at this moment, "Is it related to the meeting the day after tomorrow that Ta Ling just informed?"

"It's irrelevant, but it's also relevant!"

Xia Duo glanced at the crowd, seeing that they were full of doubts, then he took out a thick stack of information from the dimension bag, handed it to Dean, motioned him to share it with the crowd, and then explained:
"The information records a new type of communication spell and the manufacturing information of the communication magic weapon based on this new type of communication spell. Please take a look at it first!"

Saying that, Xia Duo took out two unencrypted and unpackaged semi-finished communication instruments and put them on the table in the reception room. These are actually the laboratory versions he first made, and they have been tested for a long time. , but still undamaged.

Now handing it over to Tilak and the others is also for them to have a reference when they are developing and designing the "[Eternal Magic] type communication instrument".

[Eternal Magic] type magic item has both the advantages of "Mithril component type magic item" and "[Magic Constant] type magic item". Of course, to a certain extent, it also has the disadvantages of both.

However, the biggest advantage of permanent magic items is not the advantages in terms of use, but the cost is much lower than those two manufacturing methods.

Of course, if you must pursue high-quality goods, most of the time it is better to use [Mithril Components] or [Magic Constant] to make magic items.

For example, the several communication instruments that Xia Duo made before were all made using the method of [Mithril Components].

……

After a while, Tilak closed the file. He looked at Xia Duo with some puzzlement and doubt in his eyes, "Master Xia Duo, is this [Magic Network Background Communication] a level 2 spell?"

"Yes! I know that most of the people on your side have not touched the second layer of the magic net, but you don't have to worry, the situation will change soon!"

"Is it related to the meeting the day after tomorrow?" Tilak asked this question again.

"Yes." Xia Duo didn't hide it, and there was no need to hide it.

Although he is Niya's agent now, and he discussed with Nya about the transformation of the obsolete tower before returning from Severton, but a mage is a mage after all, and it is impossible for him to inform the transformation without saying a word. I was going to give the members of the Tower of Time some air in advance.
