Arcane Lord

Since the arrival of the Yuexilan family, elves have continued to come to Savile Town, but at this time, there is no need for Shado and Niya to come forward in person.

Xia Duo found out at Yue Xilan's house through the Oripus patriarch of the Silver Leaf family that an elf high mage appeared in Conifera City, and all the elf elite mages similar to human high-level mage appeared. It was taken.

In other words, the only ones left were at most mid-level mages, so Xia Duo chose to entrust the Silver Leaf family with the responsibility of receiving the elf refugees. Of course, reception was only the last step, mainly to persuade them to leave.

It’s not that they are advised to return to Cormanso, which is unrealistic. Advise them to stay at the supply point east of Savile Territory with peace of mind. This is good for you, me and everyone.

Although the arrival of the elves was a bunch of refugees, the busy and chaotic atmosphere also diluted Sha Duo's worries about the drow and dragon disasters.

Maybe it's because there are so many elves acting as backers, or maybe it's because the threat doesn't arrive day by day, and as time goes by, the feeling fades away. Anyway, Xia Duo has indeed become much more relaxed in the past two days.

I am no longer ready to respond to all kinds of troubles almost 24 hours a day like before. I still have to live my life as I should, and I have to live it normally.

…

Tower of Time, in a certain workshop.

Xia Duo carefully assembled a regular magic device on the experimental table. Although his movements were very cautious, his mentality was very relaxed. The manufacturing difficulty of the magic scroll printing machine was far less than that of the flying sword.

Even the flying sword has been made, and the magic scroll printing machine is no longer a problem.

The main body of this thing is a rectangular table, almost half a hand high. On one side of the table is a narrow rectangular ink cartridge, which is divided into three grids and suitable for three different inks.

In addition, this ink cartridge can also be removed and replaced with other spare ink cartridges. In terms of design concept, Xia Duo referred to the ink cartridges of printers on Earth.

Of course, the styling is definitely different. It just focuses on convenience and practicality, and there is not too much design in appearance.

As for the inside of the table, there are the mithril components and the energy core. In order to facilitate inspection and maintenance, Xia Duo did not encapsulate them. They are for his own use anyway, and if they break, they can be repaired at any time.

In addition to the mithril components and energy core, the other materials of the printing press do not involve the core function of the printing press, so there is nothing to pay attention to. Xia Duo chose the most common iron.

If metal shaping is not more convenient, using wood can actually save costs.

After closing the last buckle and using a little force on Shado's hands to make sure the whole thing was stable, a laboratory version of the magic scroll printing press was completed.

As for the link to the magic network, it has already been linked after installing the mithril components and energy core.

…

Next, Xia Duo was ready to actually use it.

He first took out a stack of parchment paper from his portable space and placed it in the six grooves on the printing table one by one, almost filling the grooves.

At present, automatic paper changing either involves mechanical structure, or requires additional spell design. Xia Duo is not good at the former, and the latter requires a lot of time to study.

It is not something that can be achieved in a short time, and the current printing press can greatly reduce the time consumption of the magic scroll production process. Adding automatic paper changing will only improve the efficiency to a very limited extent.

After installing the "printing paper", Xia Duo began to add ink to the "ink cartridge" again. This time he was going to print a 3-ring fireball scroll, which required the use of [Sand Crystal Graphite Water].

In addition to the "sand crystal" in the name, this ink also contains a considerable proportion of ruby ​​powder. A small bottle is sold outside for 200 gold coins, and one bottle can draw almost two fireball scrolls.

For the Tower of Time, this kind of consumables can of course save money by purchasing the materials and preparing them yourself, and when paying for the members of the Tower of Time, the price is less than 200 bottles.

But this kind of ink is still very expensive anyway, and Chateau poured 10 bottles into a grid of the long ink cartridge at one time until it was almost full.

It can be seen that he is still confident about whether this printing press can be used.

Then Chateau took out something similar to a 3.5-inch floppy disk on Earth and inserted it into a card slot on the side of the printing press. Without this thing, the person who started the printing press could only control the printed content.

This thing has never appeared in [Projection Plane Arcane Empire]. The printing workers there are at least official mages, and the printing press and communication array are linked together to produce an effect similar to "cloud printing".

This is something that Xia Duo can't compare to. He doesn't have a large number of mage workers to serve him, nor does he have a nationwide communication array as an external data source. All he can think of is a physical "plug-in".

The core of the printing press is [Transcription]. This level 1 spell can print out any content provided by the caster, but the spell itself also has a certain degree of openness, turning "caster's custom input" into "entity plug-in input" There is no threshold.

The floppy disk-like thing that Shado took out was actually a mithril component inside the iron casing. When he inserted it into the printing press, it was like conducting a spell book bridging experiment.

It's just that the bridging experiment was an equivalent replacement, and here, it just added a part of the structure to the core mithril component of the printing press.

Increasing the function of this part of the structure is reflected in the spell effect, which is to directly print the arcane geometric figures of [Fireball] on paper.

At present, Xia Duo has prepared several external printing plug-ins for spells. If you want to change the printed content, you only need to change it and adjust the corresponding ink cartridge.

It's not the most convenient method in theory, but in a short period of time, Xia Duo can only do this.

…

After everything was ready, Xia Duo started the printing press. There was no noise that might be caused by a printer on earth. It was just the sudden flash of magic light. The expected complexity appeared on the parchment paper on the six printing positions of the printing table. , precision graphics.

"It's semi-automatic!" Xia Duo complained slightly.

This printing press needs to be started up before it can print. Of course, it can also be designed to print continuously, but this requires the function of automatic paper changing to support it. For the time being, there is no need for such a tall and fully automatic printing press.

On this machine alone, in the blink of an eye of Xia Duo, 6 [Quasi Magic Scrolls] appeared.

Except for the final [Link Magic Network] machine that cannot be replaced, other pre-steps that originally required the caster to spend a lot of time were completed by the printing press in an instant.

This is just a semi-automatic printing machine. If it were fully automatic, and the machine could even replace the caster to connect the magic scroll to the magic web, the prospect would be simply unimaginable.
