Arcane Lord

Lord of the Arcane Chapter 2288 Follow-up

From this perspective, Yinmaska ​​is likely to become Xia Duo's biggest competitor in the future, because he knows how much this technology that can liberate individual labor can bring about social changes.

Although from the current point of view, Yinmaska ​​is still in the classical era, but the current turmoil makes him smell the meaning of change. This is not false, but a fact.

At present, the conflicts and turmoil in Yinmasca are mainly divided into three parts, one is caused by the collection of knowledge by the artisan lord, and the other is the conflict between feudal lords. The reason may be annexation, hatred, or simply to consume population and alleviate the food crisis.

The last one is the riot initiated by the bottom, but in Xia Duo's view, this is actually probably the connivance of the top, otherwise why would a group of slaves get a lot of war equipment.

Inmaskar is different from Netheril. Pure personal strength is extremely limited, and secret weapons are the key. Even if there are occasional low-level craftsmen who are dissatisfied with the exploitation of the upper-level and voluntarily join the rebel camp, it is impossible to become the mainstream. .

The only explanation is the connivance of the upper echelon. Apart from consuming the population, it may also be for their own other goals, or it may be part of the conflict between the lords.

These three parts of the conflict reflect the difficult reconciliation of the upper and lower classes of Yinmasca, but turmoil will never become the mainstream, let alone such a wide-ranging turmoil, a compromise will eventually be reached.

This is the kind of future that Xia Duo foresees. In this future, the winner is likely to be an interest group headed by the Lord of Artisans. At that time, it is very likely that Yinmasca will be broken and then established.

Develop a brand-new production relationship that can adapt to true automatic production, because when the productivity has been determined, the new balance or new system generated through turmoil will automatically fit such productivity involuntarily.

Even if it fails this time, after the accumulation of contradictions, it will definitely embark on a real development path.

It can be said that after realizing that Yinmaska ​​has the potential for truly automatic production, Xia Duo has already concluded that there must be a place for Yinmaska ​​in the main plane in the future.

In contrast, the Westland South is still relatively strong. If there are no major changes, the future may only stop at the present situation.

As for the Northern Alliance, Xia Duo is not very worried. There have been centralized reforms in the elf kingdoms one after another, and his external stimulation, coupled with the framework of the Northern Alliance, although there are also such things as demons and dragon mad locks. hidden dangers, but it can be regarded as a steady step towards the future.

…

Holding the water glass in his hand, Xia Duo unconsciously thought of a lot, but his silence seemed to be regarded by Prince Aben as the first time that the practice of creation was not going well, and he even offered words of comfort:

"Do you feel that the power of creation is difficult to control? It doesn't matter, every craftsman has this experience, and it will be fine if you practice more."

"Ok."

Xia Duo responded, seeing that Prince Aben had no intention of mentioning the secret device for manipulating the power of creation, he thought for a while and then changed the subject:

"Is the research on Yinmaska's new materials the same as I am doing now, through random transformation of different substrates, and then checking the properties of each material, and determining the direction of further research if there is a suitable one?"

"The general process is like this, but for thousands of years, the artisans of Yinmasca have summed up many laws of creation, and they don't completely rely on random transformation, such as the two energy-conducting materials just now, one of which is the research of secret weapons. It was developed by the academy in the past two days, if it only relies on random transformation, how could it be possible to achieve results in such a short period of time."

"I see."

This was not beyond Xia Duo's expectation. He hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Then these laws of creation—"

"If Master Athos is willing to further develop in the field of creation magic, of course we can share it." Prince Aben said with a smile.

This kind of answer was beyond Xia Duo's expectations. He thought that the other party would reject it outright, or change the subject in a circle, but he didn't expect to make such a promise. But how could he intend to develop further in the field of creation magic?

He threw this question to Prince Aben, and Prince Aben's answer was—

"As long as Mage Athos is willing to promote the magic of creation in the Westland, Yinmaska ​​will make periodic assessments based on the progress of the magic of creation, and then provide free assistance based on the evaluation results, which naturally includes the mystery of creation."

It turned out to be so!

Xia Duo immediately understood that whether it was Jam or Prince Aben himself, the Yinmaska ​​mentioned earlier was very willing to accept the Mulan people, so it should be correct.

They even sent their ideas to Westland, which shows Yinmaska's desire for craftsmen.

As for their purpose, Xia Duo understood after a little thought. The special feature of Yinmasca's creation magic system is that there is a very difficult transformation process from theory to practice, which is similar to science and technology on the earth.

But arcane magic, there is not much gap between theory and practice, and it is very convenient to transform. Therefore, in the west, theory is also a part of secrecy, not just spells.

But in Yinmaska, even if all the theories are thrown out and the basic practical experience of transformation is added, it will be difficult for outsiders to catch up with them who have accumulated thousands of years.

On the contrary, because of the same system, the wisdom of outsiders will be absorbed and utilized by them, and even the outside world can become a dumping ground for surplus products under their huge productivity.

In other words, as long as their creation magic system is introduced from the outside, even if there is only one ending in the future, that is to be constantly sucked blood, and it is absolutely difficult to overtake in a corner.

The arcane magic system is not the case. The advanced ones have the first-mover advantage, but the latecomers may not be unable to catch up, but as long as they are in a relatively peaceful and stable environment, such a chasing feature can actually promote the development of magic.

In this case, the population and the way of organization largely determine the ultimate height of magic development.

That's why Xia Duo has always been so concerned about the population, and at the same time listed the elves as the biggest opponent in the future, because the population of elves in the western land far exceeds that of humans, and the internal transformation of elves has already begun, it is hard to say that they will continue as before. Decline down.

As for the present, Prince Aben's "invitation", Xia Duo is of course impossible to agree to, he always firmly believes that arcane magic is the most suitable development path for the current world.

Creation magic also has great potential, but the problem is that there is already an insurmountable Yinmaska ​​ahead, and it is obviously not a wise move to bite the bullet and charge upwards.

Xia Duo hopes to absorb the advantages of creation magic and supplement the shortcomings of arcane magic. This is the long-term way.

Of course, Yinmaska ​​may also think so, so it depends on whose methods are more sophisticated. At least for now, Xia Duo has no obvious disadvantages in other aspects except that he does not have an advantage in population.

Especially in terms of organizational form, it is Xia Duo's absolute advantage. The current Yinmaska ​​can't keep up with the portal.
