Arcane Lord

Severton, Offa.

In the laboratory, Shado, who had been working for nearly 20 hours, had just received a message from Iolum from Everesca, saying that he would be back in the afternoon and asked him to prepare to participate in the evening experiment.

Looking at the thirty-two slender standard "David strings" motionless in the stasis field in front of him, Sha Duo left the laboratory with satisfaction.

The preparation of "David's String" is not an easy task. The first spell to create it is a 5-level spell. If it were David himself, he would not even be able to meet the spell casting threshold.

Secondly, the David string without energy passing through it cannot exist stably. This problem also exists in Iolum's improved 5-ring version.

Compared with the "material projection of a single element by the string of the magic network" that David originally researched, which was almost completely unsaveable, this one is much better.

But if it is not immediately connected to the energy circuit, it still needs to be kept in the stasis field.

The stasis field is another difficulty in the process of preparing David strings. There is no fixed stasis field generating equipment in Iolum's laboratory, so Chateau had to temporarily build it.

Fortunately, he had learned the 8-level version of this 9-level spell before, otherwise even if he created David String, he would not be able to store it!

On the way back to his residence, Shado couldn't help but wonder if Iolum would change his previous mind when he came back and saw the thirty-two Davy strings preserved in the laboratory, allowing him to truly participate. Go into the design and manufacturing process of the Mystic Energy Core, not just do the work of a magic mechanic!

"I should be able to do that. Otherwise, why don't you just show me the information on the improved David String? Why did you also give me the design drawings of the independent arcane fire device?"

Although the key to the independent arcane fire device lies in the special material of David string, Iolum has no need to give it, after all, it also contains his unique design ideas.

However, Shado also knew that Iolum was not a stingy person. Giving him the complete blueprints might really be for sharing and repayment, so calling him over might really mean letting him do the work of a magic technician.

That’s a bit of a look down on people!

…

Back at his residence, Sha Duo was about to take a rest when he suddenly received a subpoena from Niya. The content of the subpoena made him lose sleep immediately and he sat up from the bed.

Niya said that another elf mage has arrived in the territory. She is not yet sure of his strength, but he claims that he was entrusted by the former Toph investigator from the Moon Crown family to handle cooperation matters on the spice trade.

While Sha Duo was thinking about the possible impact of this incident, he quickly got out of bed and went to the interrogation room of the Austrian and French Federation, which was open to the public.

Some things are more convenient to communicate in real time. Although direct casting of spells can also communicate in real time, in terms of encryption, it is far inferior to the communication array that can set up nearly infinite encryption measures in advance.

After the connection, Niya's half-length image appeared in the large crystal ball at the focus of the communication circle. Due to the addition of many encryption measures, the image looked a bit blurry, but this did not affect the communication itself.

After a brief greeting, Xia Duo immediately got down to business. He asked Niya: "Is the identity of the other party true? What did the leader of Oripus say?"

"We really don't have much influence in Cormanthor, and we can't investigate the authenticity of each other's identity. However, the leader of the Oripus tribe seems to be very convinced. He said that no one in Cormanthor dares to pretend to be the identity of the Moon Crown family."

Sha Duo was silent for a moment. In fact, he also had doubts about the identity of the Toph investigator. He only recognized his identity because he was indeed a talented senior mage who was unlikely to be from the bottom.

"In this case, let's take it as real!"

When he was really the subordinate of the Toph investigator, Sha Duo added silently in his heart. Regardless of whether the Toph investigator was a member of the Yueguan family or not, his identity was not simple.

Smuggling spices was not officially allowed by Cormanso, but he and Lord Collins were already doing it, and it didn't matter whether the other party was hiding his identity.

As long as it can bring real and justified benefits, what if the other party falsely reports his or her identity?

"What else did the new elf say?"

"He said that the Toph investigator has opened up channels for some powerful people in Cormanso, but we need to show greater sincerity. I think he is implying that we come up with higher-end spices, such as ivory pepper, The profit of Bay Leaf is not low, but the sales volume is too high. Even if the other party is really a member of the Yue Guan family, they will not agree with this kind of smuggling business that operates too frequently. "

Although Niya didn't say it explicitly, she still had the idea of ​​​​smuggling high-end spices. She didn't do this in the past because it was easier to be exposed.

But now that someone can help cover it up, it doesn't matter if you do something. Anyway, it was already smuggling before.

"What you said makes sense. If it were me, I would prefer things with small quantities and high added value. However, smuggling is different from normal trade, and we do not only pursue profit itself.

"This matter needs to be considered again, at least until Lord Collins and I have discussed it before we talk about it. I'm dragging him to ask us for sincerity. They also need to show a certain degree of sincerity!"

Xia Duo briefly expressed his views, mainly on two points. One is that the other party needs to show sincerity. After all, it is smuggling. If there is not full mutual trust, there is no need to continue playing. The other party currently shows too little sincerity.

The other is that the opinion of another collaborator, Lord Collins, must be considered. After all, the spices belong to others, and he only provides a temporary warehousing service and a low-end channel for the Silverleaf family in Cormanso.

Although smuggling high-end spices with small quantities and high profits may cause Lord Collins to leave him alone and cooperate with the elves, notification is still required. This is the most basic issue of integrity.

Chateau believed that with the wisdom of Lord Collins, he would not make the decision to leave him alone. Apart from anything else, from a utilitarian point of view, if the other party left him alone, wouldn't he worry about reporting it or even retaliating?

Not to mention the constraints of the Lord of Glory's sacred contract, which has a much greater effect than the general threat of retaliation!

However, this incident also made Xia Duo smell the danger, not because of smuggling, but because in Daxia Territory, there were too many things that were inconvenient to be disclosed, especially the new natural concept, which was almost invisible.

If the elf knows about it, no matter what the identity of the other party is, it will be very dangerous.

So he told Niya, "Let Chief Oripus entertain the other party well, and ask him to try to keep the other party in the town and stop running around."

Seeing that Sha Duo was speaking seriously, Niya nodded seriously.

…

After the communication was interrupted, Shado couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, after Investigator Toph left at that time, he ordered Atwood not to show the new natural holy power again, and not to mention the new natural concept again, especially the Elvish word "nature". "The word.

Otherwise, it might have been discovered by now.

At the same time, Shado also thought that it was urgent to inform Iolum of the new natural concept. He had been delayed for a while because of something before, but now he had to say it.

Some things are better for everyone to shoulder together!
