Arcane Lord

Of course, there is another possibility, which is to improve survival efficiency.

In addition to increasing demand, technological progress will also greatly promote the development of productivity, and the improvement of production efficiency is also predictable.

However, when the source of mithril does not undergo fundamental changes, the impact of production efficiency on price is not particularly large, so it is reasonable to find ways to open source it.

…

After negotiating the price and payment method with Cliff, Sha Duo's trip to Cliff Territory was successfully completed. Then he did not go to other territories, but returned to the Floating City to prepare for delivery.

He and Cliff agreed that 30,000 pounds of standard mithril would be paid in three installments, 10,000 at a time, one year apart, and the first time was just a week later.

Also on that day, Shado will deliver Mythra and related supporting facilities to the other party, along with the blueprint for manufacturing the main body of Mythra.

One week is quite sufficient for delivery. This is Xia Duo. Others would not have a ready-made Mythra to dismantle.

It is definitely too late to make it now, even if there are more people to help, it is impossible. It involves nearly a million elements, and the nature of the work is more like pure hand-made work. More people will increase the risk of errors.

Currently, the floating city has two complete Mythra devices. One is in the central control area, which provides energy for the flight control system, and the other is in the research area, which was originally used for the internal facilities of the floating city.

But now, he has to give it to Cliff first. Even if the price of 20 million is deducted from the share given to Yin Olum, he can still make at least half of it, which is about 10 million.

It’s almost like a floating city (with incomplete facilities). With the money back, what reason does he have for not selling it!

If there were more finished Mythras, he would be happy to sell more.

In fact, Sha Duo is already a little annoyed now. It's not that he doesn't have a third Mythra, it's just that he only went to work on the "construction site" for a while in his spare time or when he changed his mood.

If he had known that the Seven Towers would get Mythra so quickly, he would definitely have worked overtime to drive out several Mythra devices, not for any other reason than because the money came in so fast.

A net profit of 10 million would have taken at least a hundred years to save in the previous Tower of Time (including Savile Territory). Even in the current Tower of Time, it would have taken at least seven or eight years to save it.

And what about making Mythra for sale?

If you work hard like screws in a factory, you can barely make one in a month, and the profit from one is 10 million. This is much faster than making money from mining mithril mines!

Unfortunately, Mythra's market is too limited, because only the Grand Arcanist is qualified to guarantee not to leak relevant secrets.

The number of Grand Arcanists in Netheril is very limited. Even if we include those hidden by the Seven Towers and those never exposed by the public (this possibility is extremely small), there are definitely no more than a hundred.

In fact, Xia Duo roughly estimated that there are currently a total of nineteen people in Netheril on the surface, and each of the Seven Towers may have at least three hidden, which is 21. There should be no more than three hidden among the people.

That's only 43 people in total.

If a great arcanist guarantees an average of two Mythra devices, the entire Mythra market in Netheril would be less than a hundred!

Of course, this is from Sha Duo's point of view. In fact, a hundred Mythra devices are already an unimaginably huge market from the perspective of a normal Nese mage.

But not every great arcanist can independently come up with 20 million gold coins. They also need to find their own vassals and wings to borrow and raise them, which of course includes Xia Duo.

It's just that he was able to build it himself so that most of the labor costs were eliminated, but even so, the hundreds of thousands of fractions of material costs for the suspended base of Mithra's supporting facilities would still make him feel pain for a long time.

Therefore, Chateau’s true estimate of the Mythra market should be——

For quite some time in the future, there will not be more than twenty Mythra devices in Netheril. "Ten" may be a more appropriate number, and this is also what he expects from Netheril in the foreseeable future. Prediction of the number of floating cities in Riel.

In fact, if according to Xia Duo's expectations for the proportion of spellcasters in magical civilization, the proportion of great arcanists should be between 0.1% and 5%.

Calculated based on Netheril's current population of nearly 10 million, it would be between 10,000 and 500,000, and arcanists would account for at least one-third, which is about three million.

Although this is Xia Duo's expectation for a mature magical civilization, if it cannot even reach this ratio, what qualifications do it have to call itself a "magical civilization"?

It is precisely because he is looking forward to such a true magical civilization that Xia Duo cares so much about order and the long-term properties of order itself.

If there are about 10,000 great arcanists in Netheril now, then there must be more arcanists, and Shado doesn't have to worry about the market for Mythra's device disappearing.

There’s nothing they can’t digest with such a huge group of spellcasters!

…

After the avatar returned to the floating city, Xia Duo did not release it. Instead, he put his body into hibernation and transferred most of his consciousness to the avatar to act in the form of the avatar.

It's not that he doesn't want the true body anymore, but the saint form incarnation is really useful. The saint form incarnation that creates additional arcane fire is almost a combination of a great arcanist and a high mage, and has the advantages of both.

In addition, it is not easy to create this incarnation. Of course, Xia Duo will use it to death if he can use it!

…

The process of dismantling Mythra in the research area is not complicated. As early as the design stage of the floating city, Shado had considered the overall replacement of Mythra. With the portable space, the demolition process can be said to be effortless.

After all, the trouble is the various aftermath work. Originally, the energy interfaces of the internal facilities in the floating city were connected to Mythra in the research area. Now that the energy center here has no energy, it can only be temporarily connected to the central control area. Mythela.

Xia Duo also considered this issue during the design, but at that time he thought that the four auxiliary energy centers had been paralyzed by the enemy, and for the time being he could only use the main energy center in the central control area.

Or conversely, the central control area is temporarily out of action, and you can only use the top of the attached energy center. These are all prepared, but the problem is that the preparation needs to consume a lot of mithril and gold, and he has been ranked behind. There’s no time to build yet!

Therefore, Xia Duo could only temporarily change the construction direction of the Magic Mechanic's Department and first complete the pre-planned central energy-guiding network. This project itself did not have much construction difficulty. The only difficulty was that it required a large amount of resources.

At present, all the engineering and manufacturing of the Tower of Time are planned and budgeted. The main basis is the resource acquisition speed of the Tower of Time. Now the plan is temporarily changed, involving all aspects. If one is not handled well and the cash flow is interrupted, it will be troublesome. .

If it weren't for Cliff's 10,000 pounds of mithril as a base a week later, it would have been impossible for Sha Duo to be so messy. As for now, it's just a sprinkling of water.

I only felt a little distressed at the moment I made the decision, and then I felt nothing at all. I even thought about whether to advance some follow-up plans.
