Arcane Lord

As for the smuggling mentioned by Ye Erlan, Xia Duo is not sure whether there is any. There are certain reasons to check the dangerous goods that may be smuggled in the void warehouse. If the detailed information such as the types and quantities of the items that users access is fully recorded, it would be too much.

Even Xia Duo himself does not think this is a good idea, not to mention that in the current era, as long as there is a little rumor, the reputation of the void warehouse may immediately be rotten to the point of being irreparable.

This is also the external commitment of all chambers of commerce operating void warehouses at this stage. Regardless of whether they actually do it or not, each one claims that they will not check the items stored by users.

In Xia Duo's view, checking and recording the detailed records of users' access is not a necessary condition for operating a void warehouse. This is completely an infringement of user privacy. He is not dealing with those unscrupulous apps in his hometown. He still has to have some face.

For him, safety inspection is already the limit of what he thinks he can do as an operator, and more is beyond the scope of the operator's authority.

Therefore, unless he happens to catch someone in the act, it is difficult to identify the smuggling situation. The reason why he came back to check immediately was not because of the smuggling mentioned by Yeerlan, but because of the last time.

It was also because of the smuggling of the Illuminati that he had the idea of ​​checking the void warehouse, and as a result, he found the excited state artifact.

Last time, the Illuminati did use his void warehouse for smuggling, and he himself also smuggled, and put pressure on Yeerlan by smuggling food to Elan, and then there was a plan for the two sides to cooperate and develop together.

The reason why he was able to discover the smuggling of the Illuminati that time was because his "broiler" Person personally participated in the smuggling process and acted as his spy, so he knew it.

But this time, Person participated in the attack, so Xia Duo knew the real murderer of the attack and some details, but as for the smuggling, he didn't know.

Maybe the Illuminati arranged someone else to do it.

...

In addition, Xia Duo did not explain what the smuggling situation that Yeerlan asked Iollem to remind him of was. He felt that Yeerlan was most likely to have only noticed a slight abnormality, but had no solid evidence.

They might not even know what was smuggled, and might have just found that the resistance organizations in Elan were a little more active, so they judged it as smuggling according to their usual judgment.

But in fact -

Xia Duo felt that this might be a precursor to the actions of the Illuminati, and they would cover up a key action by attacking the magic weapon factory, but the plan went wrong, and the impact of the attack was too great, and Yeerlan was highly sensitive.

So they noticed some actions of the Illuminati other than the attack on the magic weapon factory.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt that he needed to communicate well with Yeerlan and other countries, and it would be best to fully exchange their new discoveries about the Illuminati.

Otherwise, the Illuminati might really succeed in stealing the chicken by taking advantage of the information bias of all parties!

…

After returning to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo reorganized his thoughts and finally decided not to contact Orips. He was originally going to ask him to help investigate the current situation of the Chamber of Commerce operating the Void Warehouse in the North!

Now he feels that doing so is too big a move, which will make the Illuminati aware of the abnormality. In fact, there is a market research report made by Orips inside the Tower of Time.

However, the focus of those reports is not on the warehouse situation of those Void Warehouse Chambers of Commerce, but more on business data such as revenue and users.

After all, the purpose of the investigation is not to track down the Illuminati, but to give him a more comprehensive understanding of the Void Warehouse market.

If he investigates now, the purpose is too obvious, and it is easy for the Illuminati to notice the abnormality.

However, Xia Duo traced his memory to check the report at that time, and it did mention the warehouse situation of those Chambers of Commerce. They were basically conventional space warehouses, and there were few stagnant space warehouses.

On the one hand, the construction and maintenance costs of stagnant space warehouses are high, and the demand is relatively small. It is highly likely that the operation of this will not make ends meet, unless there are other businesses to fill this part of the pit.

Another thing is that the number of people who benefit from the fresh products that need to be preserved in the stasis space in the elf world is quite limited, and they are more concentrated in the upper elves. Those elves will not choose the chamber of commerce at will.

Therefore, the chambers of commerce with stasis space warehouses are generally large chambers of commerce, or simply chambers of commerce directly controlled by the upper elves.

In the market research report of Orips, it is indeed mentioned that there are as many as 25 chambers of commerce in the North that have void warehouse business, and these are void warehouses that are open to the public, and those that are self-built and used are not included.

But among all these chambers of commerce, there are only six or seven that provide stasis space warehouse services. On average, there is only one such chamber of commerce in an elf country.

And this kind of chamber of commerce, because it involves the supply of food to the upper elves, is actually impossible to be controlled by a certain family, but is jointly controlled or supervised by multiple families.

From this point of view, the void warehouse of the Tower of Time is indeed special. Perhaps for this reason, the Illuminati chose to store the two excited state artifacts in the void warehouse of the Tower of Time.

But if this is the case, does it also mean that the Bright will not consider those Void Warehouses that are controlled and supervised by multiple parties? This makes their actions more secretive and more difficult to track!

Therefore, Xia Duo is even more reluctant to cut off the two lines he currently controls - Person and the excited state artifacts in the Void Warehouse.

…

There is no high technical threshold for building a void warehouse, but the biggest difficulty is probably how to obtain a demi-plane.

Although Shado can now mass-produce demi-planes, before he achieves mass production, he has to ask Iolum for a demi-plane for research, and Iolum's inventory is not available. not much.

The main reason is that there are very few natural demiplanes discovered, and artificial ones are extremely troublesome to create. These two points have led to the fact that even in Netheril, which is a leader in the field of planes, demiplanes are extremely rare.

But rarity is also relative. For the upper elf, wanting a demiplane is nothing more than a matter of how much price you are willing to pay. As long as you want it with all your heart, you can definitely get it.

In other words, there is no insurmountable threshold for the Illuminati to obtain a demiplane. It is even possible that a certain Illuminati member has several natural demiplanes passed down from his ancestors.

Regardless of whether it is natural or not, demiplanes can be used to create void warehouses. It is just that there are some differences in user experience, but the functions themselves are the same.

"It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult!"

However, Xia Duo is not too pessimistic. If the possibility of testing and fishing by the Illuminati is ruled out, judging from the fact that they are still using the Void Warehouse of the Tower of Time, they probably do not have their own Void Warehouse.

But there is no problem in heading towards the stasis space warehouse or the demiplane for investigation.

At present, the void warehouse on the main plane cannot be investigated for the time being, so Xia Duo thought that maybe he could start from the demiplane outside the main plane. There is a plane barrier, and there is no need to worry too much about the Illuminati's prophecy spells.

But how to take this first step?
