Arcane Lord

However, although puppets are not practical, it does not mean that the technical content is not high. Even in Xia Duo's hometown, robots are an absolutely high-precision industry.

With this in mind, Sha Duo decided to customize some humanoid secret weapons, for no other reason than to understand and study the newer creation technology in Imasca.

So he asked Jam to take him to customize the puppet first, and then go to the secret weapon shop in the battle direction. However, Jam gave an answer that was not too surprising:

"Generally, only the larger chambers of commerce can undertake the puppet customization business, and those chambers of commerce are generally engaged in the combat secret weapon business."

"Does that mean we just need to go to one house?"

"Yes, do you want to go now?"

"Go, but before I go, I want to buy some books on creation magic and secret weapons."

Xia Duo finally revealed the true purpose, but Jam did not refuse. He just said: "Generally, books appear in libraries or colleges, and few are sold outside. Even if they are, most of them are related to creation, The secret device has nothing to do with it.”

"What if I want to get books on this?"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you in this regard, but I will convey your request to Prince Aben. If it is just some basic knowledge, I think His Highness the Prince will not refuse you."

"Well, then I'll trouble you, Tax Officer Jam. Now please take me to customize the puppet."

…

The place where the puppets were customized was actually not far away. It was near the business district where Sha Duo was currently located. However, it was not open to the public and required someone to introduce it before entering.

"The Absolu Chamber of Commerce has a store specializing in secret weapons in Mars Commercial Street just now, but it does not accept customization. What we are going to now is their boutique workshop in Inupras, where Prince Aben's I can only take guests there with a token, but I’m not qualified to go there normally.”

"Thank you Prince Aben for me."

"I will."

Then there was silence all the way, but as they walked, Sha Duo suddenly discovered a question, so he took the initiative to ask Jam:

"I found that there are very few means of transportation in Inuplas City. As we are now, can we only go to every place on foot?"

"ah?"

Jam was stunned for a moment, and then explained with a look of embarrassment: "It's not that there are no more convenient ways to travel, it's just that outsiders can't use it without the corresponding permissions.

"For example, the shopping mall we just entered in Mars Commercial Street exists in another dimension. Similar existences are almost everywhere in Inuplas, and those different dimensions are all related to Purple Star. The centers are connected, and you can quickly reach various neighborhoods or even more specific locations through the Purple Star Center.”

"Is it the same nature as the plane passage you mentioned in Zhanjit City before?"

"Yes, but only Inupras and the two old cities during the split period have complete internal transmission networks. The other cities only have transmission channels with Inupras for the time being."

"So that's it!"

Sha Duo suddenly realized. At the same time, he also had a conjecture. I am afraid that Inupras is not as deserted as it seems on the surface. The real prosperous place should be hidden in another dimension, but those places are not suitable for him. Such openness to outsiders.

He is currently exposed to only the "outer world" of Inupras, but its real "inner world" is still a mystery.

Next, Xia Duo didn't ask how to get to those hidden dimensions, because he could indeed go to some places, such as the mall just now, but he couldn't use the link between the mall and other dimensions.

Even if you ask Jam, as a tax official, it is difficult to make any guarantee.

If what Jam just said is true, if Prince Aben really wants to obtain more arcane crystals, he may be able to get a chance to visit the real Inupras.

…

Soon, Sha Duo and his party arrived at the boutique workshop of the Absolu Chamber of Commerce that Jamu had mentioned. Unfortunately, Sha Duo did not see the craftsmen in the workshop.

After Jamu showed Prince Aben's token, a steward-looking man quickly came out of the workshop and led Sha Duo and his party to a reception room.

"Mage Athos, Steward Harman asked you what are your specific requirements for puppets? It should be noted that the detailed functions in different general directions cannot appear on the same puppet at the same time. For example, the combat type can only be used in the general direction of combat. The design should not be mixed with home-like functions.

"I see."

Of course, Xia Duo understands that the more functions there are, the more difficult it is to implement. Even if it is a customization with a higher premium, actual benefits need to be considered.

After discussing with Niya privately, Xia Duo put forward his own needs: "I need to customize two batches of puppets. The first batch can be decided by their chamber of commerce. They must have each type of puppets for combat, protection, and home. The more, the better. The other batch of me needs to be as human as possible and have most of the abilities of real people. It would be best if they can have intelligence.”

"Is this a request?!"

Jam thought for a while and conveyed Sha Duo's request to the steward of the Chamber of Commerce. After the two discussed for a while in front of Sha Duo, Jam's translator gave the answer:

"Currently, the Absolu Chamber of Commerce is developing a multi-functional puppet that can perfectly meet the first requirement of Master Athos, but the price will be much more expensive than ordinary puppets.

"As for the second customization request, Manager Haman said that the Absolu Chamber of Commerce can also meet it, but wisdom cannot truly be human. Even a wisdom puppet cannot be completely human-like."

"What level of wisdom can one achieve?" Xia Duo then asked.

"There is no intelligence, only a fixed feedback mode, but if you ignore the details, you can achieve performance close to real people."

"Quite honest!"

"Creating wisdom can only be achieved by a very small number of top craftsmen. Although the Absolu Chamber of Commerce is very powerful, it does not have such craftsmen. Even if it does, the wisdom puppets are not included in the sale."

"That's such a pity!" Xia Duo expressed regret from the bottom of his heart.

He actually wanted to see how intelligent Imaskar's intelligent puppets were, and how they were different from the creation tower spirits in Netheril.

The tower spirit is just a copy of the caster's consciousness. If Imasca's wisdom puppet is a brand new way of creating wisdom, it means that Imasca's craftsmen have achieved outstanding achievements in the field of consciousness.

Perhaps it is pure artificial intelligence.

"Tax Officer Jam, help me ask Manager Haman, what is the total price of this order?"

"The equivalent of makara is 2.72 million in total!"

Makara is not the currency of Imasca, but a trading chip agreed between them and Comanso. Even if Shado takes out the currency of Imasca, he needs to exchange it for Makara before he can trade.

Of course, he can also choose to try to bypass Jam and conduct private transactions with people from the Chamber of Commerce, but private transactions are risky in all aspects. This is not within the scope of Sha Duo's consideration. At least, he will not consider it if he has a choice. Private transactions.
