Arcane Lord

After returning to the Floating City, Xia Duo immediately checked the so-called "entry permit" and found that its "communication certificate" attribute could not be seen from its appearance.

Above it is a flower bag half hidden in the clouds. There is a root in the middle connected to the base below. It looks more like a lamp. If the top can shine, it will not make people suspicious.

However, according to Governor Goering's subordinates, this is indeed a magic item with the Mystery Lock authority, but it is not linked to the Cormanthor Mystery Lock, but to the Northland Alliance Mystery Lock.

This seemed a bit unbelievable, but after some exploration, Xia Duo determined that this was a special authority of the Northland Alliance Mystery Lock.

He speculated that Cormanthor might have established a communication mechanism with the Cormanthor Mystery Lock after gaining access to the Northland Alliance Myth Lock.

As long as the pass is kept linked to the Northland Alliance Mystery Lock, identity authentication can be completed through the communication between the Northland Alliance Mystery Lock and the Cormanthor Mystery Lock.

This is a rather ingenious design idea, and Xia Duo even thought that this so-called "Cormanso Entry Permit" should be able to be used in Yeerland or any other country with a Mystery Lock.

Of course, the premise is that Ye Erlan or other countries with myth locks have completed the unification of domestic myth locks and established a communication mechanism with the Northland Alliance myth locks.

In other words, this should actually be a "Northland Alliance Pass"!

From this point of view, Shado has foreseen closer exchanges, cooperation and even competition in the Northland Alliance in the future, but unfortunately, this mechanism is based on the unique elven technology of Mystery Lock.

Although Netheril now has some mastery of myth lock technology, it is obviously not enough to build a comprehensive myth lock system.

Not only is the technical capability insufficient, but political factors in other territories must also be taken into consideration.

From this, Xia Duo also thought of Niya's unfinished communication mystery lock. As long as the elves' thinking is more divergent, they can immediately create a similar existence based on the Northland Alliance's mystery lock.

Although there are some inconveniences outside the Northland, how many opportunities do ordinary people have to go outside the Northland? And those who are capable don’t care about that at all!

Moreover, Niya's communication mystery lock is not without this problem. Before the number of communication nodes reaches a certain level, the range of influence of the mystery lock is very limited.

The only advantage is probably the security of the Magic Network background communication. Although the information is sent in a situation similar to space broadcasting, there can only be one receiver. Once the receiver is determined, all the information dispersed in the space will be It converges immediately, similar to the collapse of a probability cloud, and has a definite solution.

In addition, the only advantage that Xia Duo can think of is that it is not easy to destroy. Because it adopts a distributed node design, as long as the number of nodes (people who use communication magic weapons) reaches a certain level, this communication mystery lock will be Almost indestructible.

The Northland Alliance's Mystery Lock seems to use a technically more advanced nodeless design. However, each member state that has mastered the Northland Alliance's Mystery Lock authority may paralyze or permanently destroy the Mystery Lock as long as it is proficient in it. Lose.

Without such a guarantee, countries would probably not allow such a mythical lock covering the entire territory to exist.

As for the communication mystery lock that Niya is designing, the authority is determined by the number of nodes. If you want to fully control the mystery lock, you need to control at least two-thirds of the number of nodes.

It is almost impossible for ordinary users and organizations to have control over this Mystery Lock. Even Xia Duo has a difficult time. His initial idea was to only release one-third of the communication magic weapons produced to ensure control of the Mystery Lock. In your own hands.

Of course, in actual operation, he does not need to actually produce a fully functional communication device, he only needs the node function.

Those that integrate a large number of nodes may be called the "core nodes" of Communication Mystery. With them, it is similar to mastering the server. No matter how many clients there are in the hands of other users, they will not be able to change the world.

At the same time, due to the adoption of a distributed design, Sha Duo's control is actually obtained by mastering most of the Mystery nodes. Even if those so-called core nodes are destroyed, they only temporarily lose control.

As long as they are remade, they can gain control again. Some elves may discover this in the future, but Shado believes that the production capacity of the Tower of Time and the territory will definitely make the elven countries that try to control the Mystery Lock in the same way despair!

Even if all the elven countries unite, at the very least, they can ensure that control does not fall into the hands of the other party (controlling one-third of the nodes is enough).

"Northland Alliance Mystery Lock!"

Xia Duo has very mixed feelings about the existence of this person who is very likely to be the biggest competitor in the future. On the one hand, the existence of the Northland Alliance Mystery Lock is indeed beneficial to the overall interests of the Northland, but on the other hand, this benefit is not necessarily beneficial to the Northland Alliance. he.

"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"

In other words, the benefits he can get from it are far less than those of the elven countries.

There is a saying that it is more sad to see others gain than to lose oneself. Although Xia Duo is not that narrow-minded, future civilized competition will not allow him, the leader, to pretend to be generous.

…

After thinking for a moment, Shado connected the pass to the Northland Alliance Mystery Lock. Soon he received feedback from the Mystery Lock. Just as he had guessed, the feedback suggested that he had obtained some of the permissions of the Cormanso Mystery Lock——

It is not only an entry permit, but also a special diplomatic identity certificate. It is an invited visit in nature, so a dedicated reception team is also equipped to respond to Chateau's call at any time.

However, these require him to actually enter the country to understand in detail.

Subsequently, Chateau contacted Lord Collins and mentioned to him the fact that Cormanso had discovered that they were smuggling spices. At the same time, he also reminded the other party to withdraw the relevant personnel in a timely manner and to be careful of Comanso's in-depth investigation.

In fact, Chateau and Collins had already considered the discovery of smuggling, so Collins did not appear too surprised when he received Chateau's summons. Instead, he was a little grateful that it could end in such a peaceful situation.

When Chateau mentioned the two requirements that Cormanso made for the future spice business, Lord Collins refused as expected, and proposed to seek cooperation with Everesca.

"Lord Shado, I heard that you have an old relationship with Elder Larian of the Council of Elders of Everriska. I wonder if I can ask you to help connect him?"

The relationship between Shado and Everriska is nothing new in the entire North, especially after the assassination of the elder Everriska.

Collins has also heard that if he can get a ride on the Council of Elders of Everriska, his spices can enter all the elven countries through Everriska, including Cormanthor.

And it is completely legal. Even if the temporary income is less than before, in the long run, it will have more development potential.
