Arcane Lord

As expected by Shado, Prince Aben did not refuse the deal he proposed of exchanging one thousand arcane crystals for two methods of preparing cheap energy conducting materials.

Since the details of the deal were agreed upon, the next deal itself was very simple. Just pay the money and deliver the goods.

Considering that he had stayed in Inupras for more than ten days, which met the time he had mentioned to the other party to raise arcane crystals, Shado did not make any installment payments, but provided 100,000 arcane crystals at one time.

The other party provided the preparation methods of the two cheap energy conducting materials, numbered 1402 and 598, and about one-tenth of a cubic meter of 208 types of spiritual materials (100,000 arcane crystals are about 0.1 cubic meters).

To be honest, Shado was too satisfied with this deal. If the people of Netheril knew that Imaskar had such cheap spiritual materials, they would probably be very happy.

Shado still remembered the price of the Twisted Phantom Core, which was 100,000 gold coins per core. The volume was not much larger than the arcane crystal. The only advantage was that it could be divided into the smallest unit.

The spiritual material numbered 208 cannot be divided, or it can be said that this material is only similar to spiritual material in nature, and there is still a difference from the real spiritual material.

But it can also be used to make intelligent brains, which Xia Duo has verified. As for the tower spirit of the Mage Tower, Xia Duo has not tried it yet, so he cannot make a conclusion, but he thinks that there is no essential difference between intelligent brains and tower spirits, so it should be possible.

Even if it cannot be used to make tower spirits, it is enough to make intelligent brains. Xia Duo now wants to know what will happen when the intelligent brain is infinitely expanded.

Really infinite deduction?

Maybe not, but it will definitely be more useful than the current intelligent brain!

...

After the transaction was completed, Xia Duo originally wanted to set off immediately to catch up with Percher's magic ship. Of course, this was not his real purpose. His relationship with Komanso was not as good as outsiders seemed. His real purpose was to experience the transmission center of the Purple Star Tower.

However, Prince Aben kindly asked him to stay, and there was news from Gulben that the origin of Meow had been found, and his subordinates were rushing back with a large number of Meow and related Mulan people.

So, Shado stayed in Inupras for a few more days. Of course, for him now, it didn't matter where he was, the floating city was right next to him.

In fact, he spent much more time in the floating city than outside in the past few days.

...

Time acceleration area.

While making the intelligent brain, Shado was thinking about the preparation methods of the two cheap energy-conducting materials that were traded. It was almost exactly the same as he expected. The Imaskar side did not provide a method for mass production of secret devices, but a method of pure manual production by craftsmen without the assistance of secret devices that controlled the power of creation.

What's more annoying is that the two materials are composite materials with a lot of matrix, including mithril!

He roughly estimated that if it was purely handmade, even if the success rate was 100%, its cost would be several times more than the same quality mithril. Only mass production with secret devices could lower the price.

But the problem is that Imaskar is very secretive about the method of making secret devices. Shado asked Prince Aben several times, but he declined because he said it was not suitable for beginners or it was a state secret.

If he had not found a new direction for creating puzzle locks, he would have wanted to do a business before leaving. Formal transactions would not work, but crooked ways might not work.

In addition, from the analysis of matrix materials mentioned in the creation formulas of the two known energy-conducting materials, Shado speculated that Imaskar must have mastered the higher-level creation principles.

Otherwise, with such a precise material ratio of label 1402, how could it be studied in a few days!

There must be some guiding principle, such as what kind of matrix should be selected if energy-conducting properties are required, similar to the combination of monarch, minister, assistant and messenger in the ancient pharmacopoeia of Shado's hometown.

If there is no such general direction guidance, there are thousands of materials in the world and almost endless creation methods. Let alone a few days, it is not surprising that there is no result even in a few years.

As soon as he returned to the floating city, Xia Duo tried to use the power of creation to prepare these two materials. Although the matrix contains mithril, it is not scarce and can be found in the warehouse of the Tower of Time.

But without the assistance of relevant secret devices, it is almost impossible to control the precise effect of the power of creation. Xia Duo tried more than ten times but failed. In the end, he had to admit that even if the creation formula was in front of him, he couldn't even verify its authenticity!

So he could only look forward to the performance of the creation puzzle after it was completed.

He is now working overtime to make the intelligent brain for this reason. The intelligent brain imitates Xia Duo's own thinking mode. In terms of wisdom, the upper limit is so high, but the calculation speed can be almost infinitely improved.

This is also the meaning of expansion.

If a pure calculation problem that does not require experiments can get the result immediately as long as you think about it, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time for the user.

Xia Duo is not a god, and he can't get the result by looking at the data. He even thinks that gods may not be able to do it, because some complex problems cannot be calculated by simple calculations, and related algorithms are required.

But no matter what, the expansion of the intelligent brain has already walked on the sunny road.

…

One day later, Shado received the news that Gulben wanted to see him, so he immediately put down his work, walked out of the floating city, and came to Inupras.

It was still outside the temporary residence, but this time Guleben brought a group of people over. Xia Duo saw that there were dozens of bald heads with sad expressions among them. With such obvious features, they were obviously Mulan people.

In addition, in the distance, there is a metal cage that is larger than the previous one. It may not be covered with a black cloth because it is too big. The cat inside keeps meowing, miserable and sad, frightened and sad.

Sha Duo frowned, bypassed Guleben who was saluting him, walked to the metal cage first, and sent the cage and the cat inside to the floating city.

He didn't count them in detail, but he estimated that there were about a hundred or so. Among them, only one-tenth were pure black. Most of them had black and white spots on their bodies, and there were very few in other colors. Among them, Xia Duo The orange cats I want to see the most, at first glance, there are only one or two.

Seeing that Sha Duo had made the cage disappear, Guleben came to Sha Duo again and explained everything in front of him: "My people tracked the Mulan settlement near the southern mountains, and we can determine the vicinity of Inupras. All the pure black meows come from there.”

"Then those people you brought back are-"

"They are the ones responsible for nurturing Meow in that settlement. I thought Master Athos might need them and ordered someone to bring them back." Guleben answered solemnly.

It was similar to what Xia Duo guessed, but he didn't really care about the breeders. He felt that there might be one or two elders hidden among those people who could bring him the real secrets of the Mulan people.
