Thinking of this, Eorem put away the jumping beast bones and said to Shado: "I agree to this matter, but if you want to convince the Seven Towers to follow up, you need to give them some information about the energy channeling crystal. Do you want to?"

"I have no opinion. I hope to see the establishment of the farm as soon as possible. In addition, if they make any progress in studying the skeleton of the warp beast, I hope to be informed at the same time."

Although Shado prefers to build a farm by himself, or let Eorem come forward to build it by the Austrian Federation, but the farm is built in the overlapping area of ​​the ether, and this matter cannot bypass the Seven Towers.

Instead of all kinds of wrangling and even a gap in the heart, it is better to talk about it now. Judging from the current situation, he and Qita will have more value in cooperation for a long time.

However, when he thought of the Green Tower Alliance in the south, a shadow cast a shadow on Shado's heart. This time, Eorem was also there, so he couldn't help but ask:

"What does the teacher think of the Green Tower Alliance? Is it possible that Cross is behind the command of the Seven Towers?"

"Why do you think so?"

Eorem glanced at Shado strangely, and then said: "I have also seen the recent changes in the Green Tower Alliance. It is absolutely impossible to be directed by the Seven Towers. There are no secrets in this world that can be hidden all the time. Behind Cross is the Seven Towers, and the interior of the Seven Towers is likely to fall apart immediately."

"In other words, this possibility can't be ruled out yet?" Xado asked rhetorically.

"I understand what you want to say, but what I want to tell you is that the foundation of Netheril's existence is the Severndon Covenant. As long as there is no extreme situation, it is impossible for the Seven Towers to voluntarily abandon the Covenant, which has nothing to do with them. benefit."

After speaking, Eorem added, "You must know that the Seven Pagodas are not only seven forces, but seven hilltops composed of many forces! Even if they really want to take the road of centralization, they will only start from the Seven Pagodas. It starts from the inside, not the outside, let alone the green tower. In fact, from the moment Her Royal Highness successfully ascended to the gods, the road to the centralization of the seven towers has been completely blocked."

Xia Duo realized that he had indeed ignored the influence of the princess before about Eorem. To a certain extent, the princess is the embodiment of the Severndon Covenant. As long as the princess does not fall, the covenant will naturally not fall. .

The Seven Pagodas are naturally impossible to talk nonsense. Taking a step back, even if the Green Tower Alliance is some kind of attempt by the Seven Pagodas, they will never dare to admit it publicly, and they will not be involved, and they will even try their best to put aside the relationship.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved of some things."

"Don't worry? Cross messed with you?" Eorem asked curiously.

"It doesn't bother me, it's just some commercial disputes. The Green Tower is imitating the communication tools of the Tower of Time in the south. If it wasn't for the seven towers, I think Cross should have something to say!"

"Imitate communication instruments?"

Eorem seemed to have thought of something, and frowned immediately, "Although the magic web background communication spell is the patent of Gilles Tower, Cross is obviously authorized. Said, neither you nor Gilles High Tower have the right to pursue it, if this kind of thing goes deeper, anyone can find a stain on it."

"Then it can only be resolved privately in the name of personal grievances?" Xia Duo also frowned.

"I also don't suggest you settle it privately."

"Then am I going to let him take advantage of it?"

In fact, because of this incident, Xia Duo has repeatedly postponed the release plan of the second-generation communication magic weapon that has already achieved mass production. If it cannot be properly solved, even if the second-generation communication magic weapon is released, it will only be cheaper. Tower Alliance.

In particular, the second-generation communication device does not actually set too complicated encryption measures for the convenience of ordinary individual users.

Xia Duo can endure the imitation of individual users for learning or research purposes, and it will not affect the sales of communication instruments anyway, but large-scale imitation and sales in the name of an organization is disgusting.

In the final analysis, Netheril does not have a relatively complete patent law, and there are too few restrictions on the Great Arcanist.

Let's just say that Xia Duo himself, as long as no other great arcanists stand up to express their opposition, he can basically do whatever he wants!

Even if other great arcanists stand up and express their opposition, he can still form a gang and continue to struggle.

This time, it is also Cross imitating the communication tool of the Tower of Time. If it is imitated by the Seven Towers, Shado will not even have the idea of ​​​​countermeasures.

Even Cross, Shado has not thought about how to deal with it because he considered the possible seven towers behind it.

Even if he now knows that there is a high probability that there is no Seven Towers behind Cross, Eorem also said that it can only be resolved privately in the name of personal grievances, and he does not recommend private resolutions.

"Teacher, what should I do now? Should I do nothing?"

"Of course not!" Eorem's eyes flashed with determination, "Although this matter is very difficult, it is not necessarily a rare opportunity!"

"what chance?"

"An opportunity to revolutionize the existing patent system!"

As soon as this remark came out, Xia Duo also reacted immediately. He can't pursue Cross now, as long as there is no relevant consensus now, everyone (has to) support his investigation.

At this stage, Netheril's patent system only guarantees registered spell patents, and does not guarantee other, including unregistered spells, and all magical item designs.

In fact, magic item designs cannot be patented at all, only unregistered new spells can be patented.

This also leads to the fact that -

Although imitation does violate the interests of one party, it is only a private interest, so it can only be dealt with in the form of private grievances.

If the imitating party is more powerful and well-connected, then the imitated party can't stop it, let alone make the other party pay the price.

But if the scope of the patent is expanded to include the design of magic items, the imitator will not only infringe the private interests of the imitated party, but the collective order maintained by all the great arcanists.

This is what is commonly referred to as "incurring the wrath of the public."

But the premise is that it really violates a certain resolution reached by all the great arcanists.

And a specific decision does not require the approval of all the great arcanists, but only requires the minority to obey the majority within the framework of the "collective order".

Because the collective order safeguards the common interests of all Great Arcanists and even all Nether Mages, and is not limited to the interests referred to by a specific decision.

That is to say, unless Cross opposes all common interests and becomes the public enemy of all, he cannot resist the new patent law at all.

But the premise is that it can really persuade most of the great arcanists to support the new patent law.

"The teacher means—"
