Arcane Lord

After leaving the Government Affairs Office, Shado did not wander around on the ground anymore, but returned directly to the floating city, and then sent a message to Niya asking about the production status of the communication magic weapon and Epps' physical condition.

When he entered the detection laboratory, Niya's reply happened to come over. In this way, he was preparing the prophecy ceremony while checking Niya's reply.

Communication instruments are related to the next stage of the Tower of Time's grand strategy. Both Sha Duo and Niya are very concerned about it, especially Niya. This should be her first career as an adult, so she has naturally invested enough. energy.

After these days of preparation, the Tower of Time has completed the first mass production of new communication instruments, and is only waiting for a suitable opportunity to put them into the market.

Niya replied to Sha Duo. In addition to introducing the preparation status of the communication magic weapon, Niya also asked about another very important thing, which is the issue of two-thirds of the nodes.

Communication Myst Lock adopts a distributed node design, and permissions are also distributed among a large number of nodes. Currently, the 1.0 version of Communication Myst Lock supports up to 420,000 nodes.

In other words, if you want to fully control this mystery, you need to control at least two-thirds of it, which is 280,000 nodes.

As new communication magic weapons are sold, the secret of the communication magic lock will inevitably be exposed. Although you can keep two communication magic weapons for every communication magic weapon sold, others may not imitate them in large quantities.

Once it exceeds two-thirds of the current number of nodes, the communication mystery lock will change hands.

Therefore, the safest way is to control two-thirds of all nodes in your own hands before the official launch.

This is Niya's problem, because it is unrealistic to produce 280,000 incomplete communication instruments or node instruments that only have node functions in a short period of time.

However, even for Xia Duo himself, the time required for this matter is probably calculated in months. After all, with 290,000 node magic weapons, no matter how few individual elements are, the total amount is at least one million.

The amount of work is approximately equivalent to building a [spherical core radial configuration independent arcane fire device], which is the version that Sha Duo, Yin Olem and the others had previously developed.

Due to limited materials, design tricks have to be taken, thus greatly increasing the total number of elements involved.

Of course, the builder of Mythra needs to be at least a senior arcanist or archmage. If it is the latter, a large amount of arcane crystals will be consumed.

Therefore, it was actually not cost-effective for Xia Duo to make the 280,000-node magic weapon, because with the same amount of work, his cost would definitely be much higher than that of ordinary magic technicians.

But if the magic technicians of the Tower of Time were to create it, it would probably take years to complete the 280,000-node magic weapon, right?

This was something Sha Duo couldn't accept, and of course Niya couldn't accept it, so she came to ask Sha Duo.

"You really think I am Tinker Bell who can do everything!" Xia Duo complained in his heart, but he did not completely give up the idea of ​​​​taking action.

It's just that he doesn't plan to personally manufacture the 280,000 node magic weapons one by one, or a cluster magic weapon containing 280,000 node elements. The amount of work is too large.

Moreover, this is still the first version of Communication Mystery Lock, which only supports 420,000 nodes. In the future, the number of nodes supported by Mystery Lock will increase in the future. Will he still have to do it himself at that time?

This is very unrealistic, because in the next upgrade, the number of nodes supported by Mysuo is likely to reach millions or tens of millions. If he is allowed to create them one by one, then he will not do anything else in the future. Just do this.

So Shado decided to cheat. He had previously obtained a [Spirit Talisman] from Calimshan in the south that could withstand illusion attacks from the mental world. The talisman itself is not the key, the key is the method of making this talisman——

Through special design, elemental essences are automatically created!

If this manufacturing method can be applied to the production of other magic items, it will be truly fully automatic production. Unlike the current Tower of Time Magic Mechanic's Department, although it also has an assembly line design, in the actual production process, After all, there is still no way to leave the caster.

As long as this is done, future industrial upgrading will at least be an idea.

The only regret is that this manufacturing method is essentially similar to enslaving other spellcasters to create, and the elemental essence will inevitably be consumed in the process.

Elemental spirits do not necessarily have wisdom. It is not that Xia Duo does not have to worry about any moral burden, but it is not easy to obtain this special resource!

Once he chooses this technical route, he can almost imagine that in the future, Bactria or Netheril will inevitably import a large amount of elemental essences from Calimshan in the south, provided that they are willing to sell them.

It is not easy to master the core technology. After Xia Duo created the Soul Amulet, he had such a guess——

Calimshan gave away the making method of the Essence Amulet so easily, so she might not have the idea of ​​making a lot of money from exporting the elemental essences in the future!

Of course, there is no need to think about it in the long term right now, and using it temporarily will not have much impact. In fact, the more he understands the nature of spell casting, Sha Duo gradually discovers that the automation of the pure arcane method he once longed for may not be that easy. accomplish.

Maybe if you want to automate in the future, this is the only way to go. Getting familiar with it now can be regarded as laying a foundation for the future.

So, Chateau replied to Niya that he would find a way. As for Epps' physical condition mentioned in Niya's summons, Chateau did not comment too much. It was enough to make sure that the other party had no problem for the time being.

We'll talk about the rest later. As long as the other party doesn't deliberately seek death, no matter what happens, he should be able to handle it.

…

After replying to Niya, Sha Duo has prepared everything needed for the prophecy ceremony in the laboratory, and the next step is to proceed with the ceremony.

Xia Duo has performed this kind of ritual many times. There is no problem with the ritual itself, but more with the hidden dangers that may exist outside of the ritual, such as falling into madness about a specific future, etc.

Skillfully anchoring the present world and then projecting his perception to the astral world, this time he prophesied that he did not directly choose the demon as the entry point, but chose the Kingdom of Elam.

After all, the Northland Alliance had to make prophecies about demons almost every day, either with pure magic or with the help of divine power. The prophecies were all bad, and Xia Duo didn't want to get involved in the mud again.

If you just prophesy the demon, you will probably never be able to find clues, or what you will find will be a cover used by the Illuminati.

The Kingdom of Elan is different. Currently, among the non-demons in the main plane, he is probably the only one who knows that the name Elan is related to the devil. This is a great prophetic advantage. Of course, he must use it if he can. Got it!
