Now Xia Duo is only one step away from becoming a high-level mage, and even out of his desire for [Teleportation], he has slightly adjusted his advancement plan.
Advanced arcanists need to master fourteen knowledge, or courses, including theories and techniques, including "Arcane Principles", "Soulology", and "Deep Demonic Network".
The improvement of spellcasting level runs through it, and if you proceed step by step, you will naturally become a high-level mage, until you advance to become an arcanist.
Now what Xia Duo is doing is to focus slightly on upgrading. After mastering [Short Distance Teleportation], it is simply a torture to be unable to master [Long Distance Teleportation].
After notifying Niya of the arrival of Priest Cole and the situation involving the Rodney Territory, Shado adjusted his next plan on his own. This would cause a slight delay for him to advance to the level of Arcanist, but for him to master [Long Term]
distance from the transmission], but it is ahead of schedule.
In fact, the reason why Xia Duo was able to adjust his plan so casually was because of the Tower of Time, or to be more precise, the plane exploration array in the Tower of Time.
Being able to use the projection plane to accelerate learning, he actually no longer cares about the time in the main plane. His mentality has changed, and he seems to be more casual about the time arrangement in the main plane.
But whether it is in the main plane or the projection plane, the time he spends will be reflected on his body, so it is impossible to deliberately waste time.
…
Three days later, inside the small tent in Linshui Village.
Xia Duo placed one hand on the spell book, and the other hand held a mithril pen and made random gestures in the air. If a senior mage was present, he would recognize that these seemingly irregular gestures are actually complex.
The twisted trajectory of the Chord of the Engraved Web.
The subject of spell casting is the caster's will, and has nothing to do with the hands and feet. What Sha Duo did is actually just a subconscious behavior, and of course it can also be said to be a kind of concentration training.
Just above the spell book, the strings of the magic web bend, entangle, join, and overlap, starting over and over again, never ending.
After a long time, Xia Duo rubbed his brows and dispelled the spell that was about to take shape in front of him. If he wanted to upgrade quickly, on the one hand, he should practice theory first, but more importantly, he should practice more.
After all, as long as there is no automatic casting equipment, spell casting is still a manual job.
There was also a lot of practice training in Xia Duo's previous advanced plan, but those exercises were more practiced with the advanced arcanist, and the direct path to [Long Distance Teleportation] required a slight "detour".
This period of practice has come to an end for the time being, and Xia Duo is ready to go out for a walk and relax. His attitude toward spell-casting training is similar to physical training, and he basically follows the principle of small amounts and multiple times.
Ever since he knew that spellcasting originated from the soul and the will, he never thought about extreme spellcasting and would often take a break when he was slightly tired.
During this period, they either move their hands and feet, do physical training, or swordsmanship training; or they go out to patrol the territory, which can be regarded as a combination of work and rest.
Now, Xia Duo was also ready to rest for a while. He grabbed the [Pioneering Scepter] beside his hand and waved it casually as a sword.
He is not superstitious about swordsmanship. Elf sword singers are essentially mages. Simply practicing swordsmanship without magic is of little use.
Regarding swordsmanship and even physical strength, he only regarded it as a supplement to magic. This is just like how strong physical strength on earth is only a supplement to machine guns and missiles.
Putting the cart before the horse and putting the cart before the horse, Xia Duo cannot do anything.
After a few activities, Xia Duo was about to go out for a walk, when news suddenly came from the tower spirit - Aiboke had something to ask him and asked him to go back.
It has been three days since the expulsion of Priest Cole. During these three days, Sha Duo has been waiting for news, news in various senses, but he did not expect that the news from Niya had not arrived yet, and the news from Aiboike had arrived.
Xia Duo vaguely felt that it was not a good thing. Lord Rodney coveted the Green Bead Forest. Whether it was the Saville Territory, his Daxia Territory, or the Tower of Time, they were actually very passive.
Once the unspoken rules are broken, Lord Rodney may not be the only one, and others may also be interested.
We are currently experiencing a wave of development led by the princess, but where is the Green Pearl Forest that is so easy to develop?
This place has been cleaned up by the Saville Lords for many years, and the nests of the most serious threat, the orcs, have been destroyed.
Since the beginning of the development, Xia Duo has never seen an orc once, and he doesn't know where the orcs who have lost their nest have gone.
It can be said that the Green Pearl Forest is already a mature land and is almost easily accessible. At least Xia Duo does not feel that there is any difficulty. All that is missing is the population.
Population is a problem for Xia Duo, but it is not necessarily a problem for those inland lords. There has been no external expansion in the past hundred years, and the orc tide in the interior has been almost eliminated, so the population must be large.
Xia Duo felt very irritated when he thought of the scene where the mainland lord used a portal to send a large number of people into the Green Bead Forest.
After packing up his belongings and summoning Leiden to explain a few words, Shado called the tower spirit to guide the teleportation and returned to the Tower of Time.
…
Abbock's reception room.
In addition to Aberke, Cecily was also there this time. Sha Duo didn't even say hello when he came over, but just asked, "What happened?"
Aibo did not mind Sha Duo's impoliteness. In fact, he had no intention of paying attention to it at the moment. When Sha Duo asked, he replied, "The heads of several chambers of commerce just informed Mayor Thain that they will not be allowed to do anything in the future."
Then sell the magic materials to Savileland."
"Wait!" Xia Duo immediately objected, "Didn't you sign a contract before? If you say it won't be sold, it won't be sold."
"Of course there is a contract, but as long as it is a contract, there are loopholes, and this is the case this time." As he said that, Aibo pointed his hand and sent a stack of contract documents on the small square table to Xia Duo.
Xia Duo took the contract document and flipped it through a few times. There were several contracts in this stack, all of which were signed with large chambers of commerce in the mainland. In addition to the Nese text, there was also a version in Elf text on the contract to prevent ambiguity.
He carefully read some parts of the contract, which mainly focused on the Chamber of Commerce providing materials and obtaining the first right to acquire the output of the Tower of Time.
The details are quite detailed, even going so far as to stipulate the origin and quality of each material.
Looking back, Xia Duo didn't find any obvious loopholes. These contracts can be regarded as models of contracts on earth.
He couldn't help but wonder, "What are the loopholes in these contracts?"
"These contracts were signed relatively early. Taking into account the actual situation, no fixed share was agreed upon at that time. Now the trouble is coming."
"Fixed share?" Xia Duo repeated subconsciously.
Aibo thought that Xia Duo didn't know this, so he explained to him, "This was first proposed by some Mage Towers in recent years, asking a single supplier to provide a fixed amount of materials on a regular basis. Of course, correspondingly, Mage Towers must also
Acquiring everything at market price, this new form of procurement [Biquge www.sbiquge.me] is very stable and beneficial to both parties."
In fact, when Xia Duo heard about the fixed share, he already understood that it was indeed very stable, but for the acquirer, Mage Tower, the expenditure must be fixed regularly.
In fact, the Mage Tower is not a stable production unit. Only larger Mage Towers (organizations) can maintain such a procurement method.
