"How's it going? Xia Duo, isn't it amazing! When I first discovered this, I was shocked, but in fact -"
With that said, Brod took the crystal ball and walked out of the arcane field. The crystal ball that was still glowing in the field immediately went out, and the magic aura on it also interacted with the field.
As the distance gets farther, it becomes more unstable, until it disappears completely.
"You see, this is just a toy, it can only be effective within the arcane field."
"No, what you are thinking is that this so-called toy cannot be effective in the outside world, but what I am thinking about is why the arcane field can turn this crystal ball into a magic item. In addition, this is not a toy, teacher, don't you think so!
"
"Indeed, Brod, you are far less sensitive than Shado in this regard! How did we discover the arcane field? It was when the independent arcane fire device collapsed and the device was put into use in the future. It can be imagined that
There must be a large arcane field around, and only an independent arcane fire device can maintain such a large arcane field. By then, the production of magic items will no longer need to rely on casters, and ordinary people will be able to do it!"
Shado nodded repeatedly to Iolum's imagination. This was actually the automated production of magic items that he had always dreamed of!
In the past, he only focused on using machines instead of casters to connect magic items to the magic network, but he never expected that a special field could allow quasi-magic items to automatically connect to the magic network.
Quasi-magic items are strictly speaking ordinary items, but they are not yet connected to the magic network. As long as the industrial level is sufficient, ordinary people can mass-produce quasi-magic items.
However, ordinary people cannot do this step of connecting the magic network, and there must be a spellcaster with corresponding knowledge.
In other words, as long as there is an arcane field, Xia Duo can now mass-produce quasi-magic items for use as magic items. However, the independent arcane fire device has not yet been put into practical use.\b Even if it is produced, it may not be of any use
use.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo's desire for an independent arcane fire device became even stronger.
A new type of energy cannot just be used as a backup spell-casting battery for arcanists. Based on it, it will definitely produce a series of related applications.
For now, the arcane field may be just an accidental discovery, but in the long run, it may be inevitable, just a little early.
…
"Then the teacher is so anxious to find me because he wants to integrate this field generation mechanism into the experimental plan?"
"Yes, now that we have discovered it, we must use it."
"But as a result, the progress of the project will be delayed for at least half a year. Has the teacher considered the impact of this?"
"Of course I have considered it, but it is worth it. Otherwise, even if the device is put into practical use, application research will still be carried out, which may be even more of a waste of time than now!"
"Since the teacher said so, let's do it like this!"
In fact, Shado can probably guess Iolum's mentality. Even if the device is put into practical use in a short time, the gain for the arcanist will only be arcane.
Now, although it is still in the experimental stage, there is actually no shortage of arcane energy, it is just that it cannot be obtained continuously.
This is like having nuclear weapons on earth, but without the corresponding long-distance projection equipment. Do you want to blow yourself up?
In the process of acquiring nuclear weapons, researching a basic projection equipment is not a waste of time.
The next step is the design, discussion and experiment of the new plan. The experiments on the previous plan are also continuing. Although there is a bit of waste, it is not that much wasted.
Compared with the previous plan, the new plan only has an additional field generation mechanism. The principle does not require too much demonstration. It is more of a process of continuous running-in, adjustment and re-running on the engineering side.
…
And the day after Shado returned to Severdon, news about the birth of the seventeenth Grand Arcanist in Netheril spread rapidly.
Currently, the great arcanists in Netheril can be roughly divided into three major factions, and the one with the largest number is undoubtedly the Seven Towers.
On the surface alone, there are eight people existing at the same time, including the seven masters of the Seven Towers and the princess's teacher Byron.
Secondly, the neutral faction of the Congenio family, including Congenio, Iolum, Brod, and Chateau, will now be included in this faction.
In the end, it is not exactly the same camp. It may be collectively referred to as the "opposition faction", which refers to Cliff, Braun, Vader, Magna, and Lord Hawk, who was just announced at the beginning of the year.
Among them, Braun and Vader have a bad relationship, while Magnar and Cliff have a very good relationship, and Hawke has a bad relationship with everyone.
Of course, this is only on the surface, only they themselves know what is going on in private.
In addition to the dozen or so great arcanists on the surface, Sha Duo only knows about Kaos from the Seven Towers and Jenna from the Bright Water Chamber of Commerce.
There are probably more things that Xia Duo doesn't know. According to his calculations, each of the Seven Towers has at least one great arcanist hidden in it.
As for the hidden "outdoor" great arcanists, there may be some, but they must be very few. After all, without the support of any force, who can live in seclusion safely?
Although the identity of President Jenna of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce has not been made public, it is probably not a secret.
Just like Xia Duo this time, if you want to go to Akaola to gain benefits and qualifications, it will definitely not work without a certain level of strength and identity. If you don't show your identity, you will naturally miss out on the benefits.
Those hidden great arcane masters in the wild can miss it once, but do they have to miss it every time?
Not to mention anything else, just the mithril quota given to each mage tower by the Arcane Mage Federation. There are definitely two concepts between having a great arcanist and not having a great arcanist.
Of course, now that the mithril refining methods are open, the mithril mines do not need to be handed over to Ye Erlan or Danzo for refining according to the old agreement. There may be more great arcane masters hidden in the wild in the future.
…
Xia Duo ignored all the disturbances and requests from the outside world. On the one hand, he was very busy, and on the other hand, with his current status, he could ignore the opinions of most others.
Of course, some people still have to be met.
For example, Said from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce personally came to summon President Jenna and invited Xia Duo to come to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce for a while.
But when the two met again, they felt more restrained than before.
Chateau himself is not restrained, not only unrestrained, on the contrary, he behaves very enthusiastic and easy-going, but Said is limited by old ideas and unable to look directly at Chateau's new identity, and appears to be extremely reserved.
This made Xia Duo quite regretful.
After bidding farewell to Said, Xia Duo continued to work in the laboratory. Near evening, when he received the [Magic Hour] reminder, he packed up a little and went to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce for an appointment.
