Chapter 2694 Street Light Advertisement Visit the Site
Oripus is not optimistic about Everesca's reform. This is not unexpected by Shado. In fact, he himself is not optimistic about it. The elf world has solidified classes. Popularizing magic knowledge to the bottom will definitely shake the upper-level rule.
Basic.
Maybe they will slowly open their mouths in the future, but now, regarding reforms in this area, Xia Duo feels that it is very likely that whoever proposes will die.
As for Everesca's introduction of the Bactrian Codex, it may only be a superficial introduction in the end, but in any case, this is at least a start.
…
After a while, Shado and Oripus arrived at Dawn Square. They passed by the Northland Alliance headquarters and went south, walking on the riverside trail.
On the side of the trail close to the river bank, there is a tall lamppost with a uniform style at every distance. Xia Duo has passed here many times before. The original lampposts were all made of logs with detailed carvings on the surface.
But now it has been replaced by a metal lamppost, and the surface decoration is also slightly rough.
Seeing Xia Duo carefully looking at the surface of the lamp post, Oripus couldn't help but explain: "Currently, we only guarantee the availability of lamp post advertisements. The aesthetics have not yet been considered, but we will slowly adjust it later."
"Then why can't I see ads now?" Xia Duo asked again.
"Lord, please wait a moment. I'll ask the person in charge of the street lamp renovation project. If nothing else, it should be that the advertisement for the Void Warehouse has not been submitted yet."
While making contact, Oripus continued to explain to Shado that the renovated street lights were all connected to the Everesca Mystery Lock, and advertisements also needed to be placed and activated from the Mystery Lock end.
Rather than operating on a single street light.
There is no need to explain the latter, Shado has already seen it, and his understanding of the Everriska Mystic Lock is as good as any elf.
After all, he also had high-level authority for a period of time, and at that time he almost understood the ins and outs of this mystery.
Soon, Oripus received a reply, and he told Xia Duo, "New advertisements are already being uploaded over there, and they will be completed soon, but if you want to activate them immediately, you need to pause the renovation project."
"If the project is suspended, do you have any objections?"
"Probably not. They still expect to collect money from advertising. That's what I informed them."
After speaking, Oripus contacted the renovation project team again.
After a while, Xia Duo noticed the strange movement of the Mystic Lock. The next moment, a wave of magic network rippled out from the lamppost nearby. Then a piece of light and shadow came out from the hollow structure in the middle of the lamppost. After a while, it formed on the outside of the upper half of the lamppost.
A semi-cylindrical projection area is formed.
Advertisements about the Tower of Time's Void Warehouse are displayed in that area.
However, Xia Duo did not watch the advertising content immediately, but instead checked the moiré display effect in the projection area. Along the edge of the projection area, a total of two groups of well-proportioned moirés were clearly visible.
It looks like a decorative pattern, but Xia Duo knows that it is actually a graphic code that carries a lot of information!
After a little analysis, Chateau determined that Everesca had not made any changes to the details of the moiré pattern, and it was completely consistent with the test material he had previously given to Oripus.
Confirming this situation made him breathe a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that Everesca would change the moiré pattern he provided without authorization for the sake of so-called "beauty".
If the moiré pattern can be changed at will by Evereska, it cannot be used in prophecy rituals.
However, this is only the first time. Perhaps Evereska paid more attention to it and did not change it. The elves who will be responsible for this situation in the future may not think so.
After that, someone will be sent to regularly check the moiré pattern on the advertisement to ensure that it is completely consistent with what he provided.
…
After checking multiple street lights one after another, Chateau asked Oripus to contact Everesca to continue the renovation.
He has no opinion on the specific display effect of street light advertisements. As long as it does not affect the moiré display, he doesn't care what the design is.
…
After looking at the completed street lights, Xia Duo went to inspect the renovation site. It was not that he was worried about the work of the elves, but he wanted to take the opportunity to observe the working process of the elves' magic technicians.
The civilian use of magic is not about building cars behind closed doors, but rather about broadly drawing on the existing experience of the elven countries, and then introducing specific measures based on the actual situation of the Great Xia Territory, so as to avoid detours.
Oripus, who accompanied Shaduo there, only regarded it as the site of Shaduo's curious elf's transformation. On the way there, he began to introduce most of the aspects of the transformation to Shaduo.
“In this renovation project, the urban planning department first determined the scope of the renovation, and then the specific workshop came up with a design plan. During this process, I participated as the chief consultant throughout the process and provided some suggestions that were beneficial to us.
"After that, after the design plan is released, the project will be publicly tendered to find a suitable construction team. Generally speaking, such projects are handed over to different workshops to avoid collusion of interests.
"As for the construction process, it is actually similar to the Tower of Time's production of magic items, except that there is an additional Mystery Lock consultant. He will be responsible for coordinating and inspecting all Mystery-related work during the construction process."
"I see!"
The situation mentioned by Oripus is not beyond Xia Duo's knowledge. Of course, in terms of specific implementation, existing cases are worth looking at more.
…
Soon, Xia Duo came to a construction site. If he hadn't known in advance that this was the construction site of a street lamp renovation project, he would have even thought that this was the private laboratory of a certain great mage!
There are no elements related to mess or chaos at the scene, only standard and concise work processes. In this aspect alone, Chateau can say that this team has reached modern standards.
"Lord, the Vidas Workshop was founded 510 years ago and has rich experience in urban renovation projects. If this street lamp renovation project was not a special request by the Council of Elders, it would not have even caught their attention at all."
Oripus privately sent a message to Chateau to introduce the team currently undertaking the street lamp renovation project. Many of Evereska's landmark buildings and facilities have Vidas Workshop behind them.
If nothing else goes wrong, the iconic building planned by Chateau to hold the New Style Art Exhibition will also be handed over to Vidas Workshop.
If the cooperation goes smoothly, Xia Duo feels that we can further cooperate and lay a preliminary foundation for magic construction for the Great Xia Territory.
With this in mind, Xia Duo began to observe back and forth on the construction site.
The work process here is not complicated at all. Generally speaking, it is to disconnect the old street light and the mysterious lock first, then remove the old street light, then install the new street light, and finally connect the new street light to the mysterious lock.
Basically, the magic steps can be used. The Vidas workshop uses magic, and the related tools are very complete, such as measuring, removing, transferring, filling, repairing, etc., covering all aspects.
It is conceivable that they should all be perfected little by little through long-term practice.
