Since the matter involved confidential information, Septalis did not respond to Shado immediately, and did not even confirm or hint at the fact that "Ilfaran and Belluno have trade" mentioned by Shado. He only said that this matter would be reported to the country.

Shado calculated the time and said to Septalis: "This matter is very important. Please keep it in mind, Ambassador. It is best to reply to me before noon today."

Because Shado was going to summon the envoy at noon, in order to get the matter of going to Belluno before skipping this period, he could only ask for a reply time in a slightly impolite manner.

Septalis was indeed dissatisfied with this, but what he cared about more at this moment was that Shado knew that Ilfaran and Belluno had trade. If he did not clarify this matter, it would be his dereliction of duty.

As for the prophecy that Shado said, he did not believe it at all. He had never heard that Shado had such a strong prophetic ability before.

After reluctantly agreeing to reply before noon, Septalis immediately found an excuse to leave the reception room.

...

After Septalis left, Shado began to reflect on whether he was too radical.

If there was any accident that caused him to fail to collect the power of time in this timeline, if there was no other source in the future, it might make the Illuminati take the lead in the timeline.

But considering that reshaping the timeline from such a "past" node was a bit risky, Shado made up his mind that as long as Ilfaran did not reply to him before noon, he would immediately get rid of him and go to Belluno in person to get the time gem first.

Of course, the ideal situation is that Ilfaran agreed to help, so that he could go to the bottom of the sea in the name of the alliance after summoning the messenger.

At that time, the situation might be like the previous timeline, when Queen Tess of Belluno personally took down Dali.

But at present, the Illuminati has not yet launched the final decisive battle, and the sense of crisis on the alliance side is not enough, and Belluno may also have some other thoughts or misjudgments.

This is the disadvantage of reshaping the timeline. Those major events in history often have both contingency and inevitability. The farther away from the original node, the greater the variables.

But considering the benefits of reshaping the timeline, this disadvantage is not unacceptable, but you must be more cautious and must not have the idea of ​​playing with time, otherwise you will eventually be played with by time.

…

While waiting for the reply from Ilfarang, Xia Duo prepared to try to make a key prop. He had an idea when he was in the star realm before, but due to the environment of the star realm itself, he was unable to try to make it.

And now, although he has just reshaped the timeline or "returned to the past", he must use every opportunity to make the key prop in the imagination.

Yongle City.

Xia Duo opened the time acceleration array without hesitation. This is also an important trump card for him to defeat the Illuminati. The Illuminati's plan is urgent and strict. How can the Alliance overtake it?

The time acceleration array is undoubtedly a magic weapon that can maximize all favorable conditions. In the previous timeline, Xia Duo has obtained the method of collecting and even using the power of time with the help of the time acceleration array.

Now, he will use the time acceleration array again to make a key prop that is truly decisive, which may become the turning point of this war.

Ritual site No. 1, inside the time acceleration array.

With the help of the time acceleration effect, Xia Duo once again sorted out the relevant details of the key props to be made this time, as well as the action plan for this timeline, and then started the first production.

Soon, the first mithril component of this prop was made. This is a hollow mithril ball the size of a normal human eyeball. The interior is hollow, and only the spherical shell looks like it is woven from countless mithril filaments.

But in fact, this is a one-piece molding, and in order to ensure precision, it is directly molded at one time through magic, and then it is stored in the suspension field, which is by no means comparable to those ordinary hand-rubbed mithril components.

If such a small hollow mithril ball is pressed into mithril grains and sold, the price may exceed 10,000 gold coins.

Of course, the actual cost of Xia Duo is not high, otherwise he may have to give up portability and choose limited cost, but even so, in order to refine the mithril needed for this experiment, it is also very expensive.

The [element extraction] method of refining mithril cannot achieve the same amount of mithril as much mithril as there is in theory, because of the element transmutation reaction of the substance, the higher the purity of the mithril, the more loss in practice.

For example, the high-quality mithril with a purity of nine nines that Xia Duo is using now, at least fifteen grams are wasted due to the element transmutation reaction for every gram refined.

It can also be simply understood that fifteen grams of standard mithril can only refine one gram of high-quality mithril with a purity of nine nines.

If the purity requirement is reduced by two levels, that is, 99.99999%, this is still high-quality mithril, but the loss of refining one gram of mithril of this purity drops sharply to about 9 grams.

If the purity requirement is further reduced to 99.99%, which is usually referred to as high-quality mithril that meets the requirements for making fine instruments, about 2.5 grams of standard mithril is enough to be refined. (Standard mithril is three nines purity)

And this is just the cost. If it is purchased from outside, even if it is just the four nines of mithril that just reaches the high-quality threshold, it is impossible to be only 2.5 times the price of standard mithril.

And now, the hollow mithril ball made by Xia Duo, which is the size of a human eye, is converted into mithril for sale to the outside world, and it costs at least 10,000 gold coins. This is just a component required for the experiment.

If Xia Duo did not master the mithril refining technology and needed to buy mithril from outside, he would not be determined to use mithril. In all likelihood, he would give up portability and choose the arcane string material that is cheaper for him.

But now, if he refines it himself, the cost is certainly not low, but it is not as exaggerated as the market price. In fact, it ignores the technical cost and labor cost, and the remaining material cost can be almost ignored.

…

After the first hollow mithril ball, Xia Duo successively made eleven hollow spherical mithril components with similar shapes but different diameters, and conducted simple verification after each one was completed.

Since it is shaped directly through magic, as long as the spell design is correct, the finished product will most likely be fine. For example, this time, Xia Duo made twelve mithril components in a row, and not a single one had problems.
