Because the matter involved confidentiality, Septalis did not immediately respond to Shado. Even the fact that "Ilfaran and Belluno have trade" mentioned by Shado did not have any confirmation or hint. He only said this.
It will be reported to the country.
Chateau calculated the time and said to Septalis: "This matter is very important. Please take it to heart, Ambassador. It is best to reply to me before noon today."
Because Chateau was about to summon the divine envoy at noon, in order to complete the matter of going to Belluno before skipping this period of time, he could only ask for a reply time a little rudely.
Septalis was indeed dissatisfied because of this, but what concerned him more at the moment was that Chateau knew that there was a trade between Ilfaran and Belluno. It would be his dereliction of duty if he did not clarify this matter.
As for the predictions made by Xia Duo, he didn't believe it at all. He had never heard of Xia Duo having such a strong prophecy ability before.
After reluctantly agreeing to reply before noon, Septalis immediately made an excuse and left the reception room.
…
After Septalis left, Shado began to reflect on whether his actions were too radical.
If there is any accident that causes him to fail to collect the power of time in this timeline, and if there are no other sources in the future, it may make the Illuminati take an overall lead on the timeline level.
But considering that starting to reshape the timeline from such a "past" node was inherently risky, Shado made up his mind that as long as Irfalan didn't reply to him before noon, he would immediately get rid of him.
, go directly to Belluno in person, and get the time stone first.
Of course, the most ideal situation is for Elfaran to agree to help, so that after summoning the divine envoy, he can go to the bottom of the sea in an open and honest manner in the name of the alliance.
At that time, the situation may be like in the previous timeline, where Queen Tess of Belluno personally took action to capture Dali.
It's just that the Illuminati has not yet launched the final decisive battle, and the alliance's sense of crisis is not enough. Belluno's side may also have some other thoughts or misjudgments.
This is the disadvantage of reshaping the timeline. Major events in history often involve both contingency and inevitability. The further away from the original node, the greater the variables.
However, considering the benefits of reshaping the timeline, this disadvantage is not unacceptable. You just need to be more cautious and never have the idea of playing with time, otherwise you will eventually be played with by time.
…
While waiting for a reply from Elfaran, Shado was preparing to try to make a key prop. He had already had an idea when he was in the star realm, but due to the environment of the star realm itself, he was not able to try to make it.
And now, although he has just reshaped the timeline or "went back to the past", he must be using every opportunity to make the key prop in his imagination.
Yongle City.
Sha Duo did not hesitate to activate the time acceleration circle, which was also an important trump card for him to defeat the Illuminati. The Illuminati's plan was urgent and rigorous, so why could the Alliance overtake them in a corner?
The Time Acceleration Array is undoubtedly a decisive weapon that can maximize all favorable conditions. In the previous timeline, Shado has already used the Time Acceleration Array to obtain a method to collect and even utilize the power of time.
And now, he will once again use the time acceleration circle to create a truly decisive key prop, which may become a turning point in this war.
Ceremony Site No. 1, inside the Time Acceleration Circle.
With the help of the time acceleration effect, Sha Duo once again sorted out the relevant details of the key props to be produced this time, as well as the action plan for this time line, and then started the first production.
Soon, the first mithril component of this prop was produced. It was a hollow mithril ball the size of a normal human eyeball. It was hollow inside. Only the ball shell looked like it was woven from countless mithril filaments.
.
But in fact, it is formed in one piece, and in order to ensure precision, it is directly shaped in one go through magic, and then stored in a suspended field. It is definitely not comparable to ordinary hand-rubbed mithril components.
It's just such a small hollow mithril ball. If it is pressed into mithril grains and sold, the price may exceed 10,000 gold coins.
Of course, Xia Duo's actual cost is not high, otherwise he may have to give up portability and choose a limited cost, but even so, it will cost a lot to refine the mithril needed for this experiment.
The [Element Extraction] method is used to extract mithril. Even in theory, it is impossible to extract as much mithril as there is mithril. Because of the transmutation reaction of the elements of matter, in practice, the higher the purity of mithril, the higher the loss.
The more.
For example, for every gram of high-grade mithril that Sha Duo currently uses with a purity of 99, at least 15 grams are wasted due to elemental transmutation reactions.
It can also be simply understood that fifteen grams of standard mithril can only ultimately refine one gram of high-grade mithril with a purity of nine-nine.
If the purity requirement is lowered by two levels, that is, 99.99999%, this is still high-grade mithril, but when refining one gram of mithril of this purity, the loss suddenly drops to about 9 grams.
If the purity requirement is further reduced to 99.99%, which is what is usually called high-grade mithril that meets the requirements for making fine magical instruments, almost 2.5 grams of standard mithril will be enough to extract it. (Standard mithril has three nine purity levels)
And this is just the cost. If you buy it from outside, even the four Nine Mithrils that have just reached the high-grade threshold will not cost 2.5 times the price of standard Mithril.
And now, the hollow mithril ball the size of a human eye that Xia Duo made would cost at least 10,000 gold coins when converted into mithril for sale. This is just a component needed for the experiment.
If he had not mastered the mithril refining technology himself, but needed to purchase mithril from outside, Xia Duo would really not be able to make up his mind to use mithril to do it. In all likelihood, he would give up portability and choose something that is cheaper for him.
Arcane string material.
But now, if you refine it yourself, the cost is certainly not low, but it is not exaggerated to the level of the market price. In fact, the technical cost and labor cost are ignored, and the remaining material cost is almost negligible.
…
After the first hollow mithril ball, Chateau successively produced eleven more hollow spherical mithril components with similar shapes but different diameters, and conducted a simple verification after each production was completed.
Since it is directly shaped by magic, as long as there is no problem with the spell design, there is a high probability that the finished product will be fine. I think this time Xia Duo has twelve mithril components in a row, not even one has a problem.
