Arcane Lord

How could Xia Duo not see the lack of confidence in Niya's eyes as a pillow person? Thinking of Niya's strong appearance when she first came here, and now she has become unconfident, this contrast made Xia Duo like her even more.

"I believe you can do it. We don't necessarily have to update the communication lock if we release it here. We can release some information every once in a while to appease people. We just have to take our time."

"Then you're not worried about the sales of the new communication device?" Niya raised her head, leaned her cheek on Sha Duo's shoulder, and asked in a low voice.

"One thing, but only one thing. Our communication lock is so good that others don't have to suffer because of them. What do we have to worry about!"

"You will comfort me!"

Niya gently hammered Xia Duo, and then the two of them stopped talking and just sat quietly in front of the projection window, looking at the construction site of the territory outside.

…

After a moment of tenderness, Xia Duo returned to the laboratory, where Aiboike was already waiting for him. After all, he only had one notebook, and it took him so long to get a rough overview of it.

"Do you understand what I'm studying now?" Sha Duo asked.

"Well, I just read your research notes. To be honest, this power is really beyond my knowledge, but it is undeniable that this is indeed a powerful power with great potential!"

The look in Eberk's eyes at this moment was very complicated, with shock, surprise, deep anticipation, and even the slightest excitement of spying on taboos. The knuckles of the hand holding the note even turned blue-white.

Xia Duo couldn't help but frown when he saw this. This was not a good research situation. He couldn't help but remind Aibo a few words. He did not let him join the experiment directly, but took a look first before talking.

"Okay, okay!" Although Aibo quickly adjusted his attitude, the leader of the laboratory was Sha Duo, and he couldn't argue anymore.

…

At present, Shado's experiments on the power of order mainly focus on two aspects. One is the pull between the caster's will and the rules of the power of order, and the other is the many tests of original order spells and their variants.

Ai Boke can help in both aspects, especially the former, which can be used by Ai Boke's long-term experience in studying primitive powers such as holy power.

However, Aiboke is not the Lord of Order after all, so experiments in this area need to be authorized by Sha Duo in advance, and are conducted indirectly through order spells.

But no matter what, it is much more convenient to conduct experiments with one more person than Xia.

As for the test of order spells, this can actually be left to Ai Burke, but because Ai Burke does not directly perceive and control the power of order, he can quickly and intuitively understand the changes in the power of order. After all, the power of order and the arcana Magic is not a system.

Xia Duo still prefers to do this by himself. If Aibo is allowed to do this, the experiment may be directed to arcane magic again, rather than a new power of order system.

Of course, in addition to the experimental aspect (including testing), what Sha Duo likes about Ai Bok is the analysis and summary after the experiment.

As the saying goes, "One person has poor skills, but two people have great skills." After discovering the original order spell, Xia Duo actually paid more attention to the analysis after the experiment.

After all, the current experiment of pulling the caster's will and the rules of the power of order is more like trying one's luck. Only with good luck can one discover the original order spell that manifests the rules.

Ai Burke may be more experienced in this area, but this is not something that can be determined by his experience alone. There is also the combined effect of the rules of the power of order, and Ai Burke has almost no knowledge of this aspect. In fact, it is also a matter of luck.

It's just that if Xia Duo did it by himself, he might only be able to get lucky four times an hour, but Aiboke could do it eight times an hour because of his proficiency in business.

If you don't take into account other influences, but look at this aspect, the probability of Aibo discovering a new primitive order spell is at least twice (approximately) that of Shado.

…

On the other side, Niya returned to her laboratory and began to adjust her research plan on mystery locks. She suspended research on increasing mystery lock nodes and focused all her energy on increasing mystery lock functions.

As for what functions to add, Niya actually has a plan and is currently studying it. However, she previously hoped that these functions would be available with the next Mystery Lock update, but now she will update them in advance.

"The Void Warehouse system has been established. Now we only need to connect it to the communication mystery lock. However, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is not optimistic about the promotion of the Void Warehouse among the Nese mages, so this update must also include other communication aspects. Function!"

Connecting the Void Warehouse to the Communication Mystery Lock is a plan that Shado and Niya have made long ago. This step is not difficult. It just requires adding a permission to the Communication Mystery Lock in the Void Warehouse system.

The Void Warehouse is not the core function of the communication Mystery Lock. It is more like an accessory system connected to the Mystery Lock. It can also be understood as an alternative Mystery Lock connector, but other connectors can also access the void through the Mystery Lock. storehouse.

But the core communication function of Communication Mystery Lock cannot be like this. The reason is very simple——

The Void Warehouse is charged, and the fee can cover the cost of use, while the Mystic Communication function is free, or the user has already paid a one-time fee when purchasing the communication weapon.

If there are no follow-up charges, if you use the solution of external accessory systems, then the subsequent almost endless costs will be beyond the reach of the Tower of Time.

If you want to do this, you need to change the charging method of the communication magic weapon to monthly billing, but this has no precedent in Netheril, or even the entire main plane, and it is difficult for users who are accustomed to purchasing it once for a lifetime. Consumer approval of use.

Therefore, the core communication function of the communication lock must be integrated into the main body of the communication lock, thereby minimizing the cost of use.

As we all know, the Mystery Lock may be the lowest-cost magical creation in the main plane for single use. If the maker is skilled enough, even the manufacturing cost can be reduced to the lowest.

Generally speaking, if the traditional Elf Mystery Lock is designed with no nodes, the maintenance cycle may last for hundreds or thousands of years, and the maintenance fee is the caster's salary.

If there are nodes involved, the maintenance cycle may be more frequent, but at least it is measured in years. Some excellent designs can be repaired every hundred years, or even longer.

Maintenance costs are mainly in caster wages and maintenance of the environment that supports the mythal lock.

As long as the environment does not change drastically, the latter requires almost no cost, and more is the salary of the caster. Compared with any other tangible magical creation, maintenance requires the provision of important resources other than the caster——

Such as energy-conducting metals, stable materials, packaging materials, decorative materials, etc.
