Arcane Lord

Dean's narration made Shado calm down a little. It turned out that an apprentice had already come into contact with two Pegasus. According to Niya's instructions, the two Pegasus can move around freely in the Arcane Garden, but in addition to fruits, the food is mostly from fields. There's wheat in it.

And because the wheat in the Arcane Garden ripens almost once a week, some apprentices deliberately save the fresh and juicy wheat seedlings that Pegasus loves to eat most, so they can get close to Pegasus. The name of Pegasus was originally given by those two apprentices. spread out.

According to the apprentices, each of the two pegasus has a magic item that allows them to understand human speech and also allows them to convey their thoughts to humans.

Hearing this statement, Xia Duo immediately thought of the translation spell that he had been asking for but could not get, but now, of course, he knew that a translation spell similar to the [Language Proficiency] in the game was difficult to achieve.

If you really want to equip two mounts with one, the price would be a bit high.

Xia Duo guessed that it might be another kind of flexible spell, such as psychic spells or druid magic.

…

Now, Shado has seen his Pegasus with his own eyes, which can be regarded as satisfying his previous eagerness. He happened to meet Dean and the others in the Arcane Garden again. Compared to Pegasus, he still cares more about Tilak The situation in the research room, so he asked:

"Has there been any progress in the research laboratory during this period?"

Upon hearing this, several people glanced at each other, and it was Dean who answered: "If you hadn't asked me, I would have thought you had forgotten it! The research laboratory is progressing very smoothly. We have successfully developed the [Alert Talisman] you mentioned before. "We are currently studying the strengthening of talismans. As for the general technical standards, I think we can summarize them through the research process of these strengthening talismans."

"Very good!" Xia Duo praised without hesitation.

He didn't expect that just after a few months of not paying attention to this place, this group of people would give him a surprise. He remembered that the last time he went to Tilak's Research Laboratory, they had just developed a [long-term device that could continue to glow for three days. Effective reflector].

Although the mirror already has commercial value, it is still far away from Xia Duo's expectations. Unexpectedly, only a few months later, they were able to summarize the general technology. I have to say, it is so surprising. .

The original Tilak Research Laboratory was just a personal conjecture of Tilak. Later, with the support of Sha Duo, it turned to application-oriented technology development. Even if the current results are not included, the previous [Long-lasting Reflector] It was already worth his investment.

Xia Duo couldn't wait to ask: "Tell me about the [Alert Talisman]. How much does it cost to make? How is the effect? ​​How long is the expected service life?"

"The manufacturing cost is not high. The comprehensive material cost, depreciation of the alchemy circle, and caster labor are about 200 gold coins. Of course, this does not include the research cost." Dean replied.

"What about the effect of use?"

"As long as it is activated, the alert field can continue to exist, but it can only be centered on the [Alert Talisman]. Once the talisman leaves, the alert field will gradually weaken and disappear after it is weak enough."

Then, Dean didn't wait for Xia Duo to continue asking, and took the initiative to talk about the service life of the [Alert Talisman], "As for the service life, we have done experiments in the Green Pearl Forest, and we haven't been able to calculate the specific service life yet. In short, It’s just long.”

"This is not good!" Sha Duo said suddenly.

"ah?!"

Dean was puzzled, "Our [Alert Talisman] is definitely better than the ones sold outside, how could it be bad!"

Just because it’s so good!

If this thing is really a piece of jewelry that will last forever, how can Xia Duo make money? No matter how expensive it is, there will always be a day when it is saturated. It must have a service life to facilitate continuous shipments.

Xia Duo explained his theory briefly, and Dean and others looked at him with a different look. But at the same time, their faces seemed to be excited about discovering a new world, and they seemed a little eager to try it!

Only Edrich expressed a different view, "If we artificially set the service life, will it affect the effectiveness of the [Alert Talisman] and thus affect its reputation? This aspect needs to be studied carefully."

"Well, what you said makes sense. It really needs to be studied carefully." Sha Duo also agreed.

Reducing the service life is not something you just want to do. Especially for a product whose service life is too long to be tested, a reduction may affect the use effect.

"For further research on this, you can refer to the settings of some common magic items on the market."

Although he said that, Xia Duo knew that there was no continuous and stable exporter of magic items on the market at present, and it was more of a personal interest or a way to make money occasionally.

There are basically no measures to artificially reduce the quality or lifespan of such magic items, but because of the small quantity, they are always kept at a high price.

But in the long term, as technology continues to advance and the overall quantity continues to increase, the price of magic items will continue to decline.

Xia Duo estimated that it was almost reaching a certain critical point. As far as he knew so far, many mage towers were improving their production methods to reduce costs. As for whether there were any technological breakthroughs like the Tilak Research Laboratory, for the time being, Haven't heard yet.

But we have to take it into consideration. There may really be a price war in the future.

As for the service life, when linked magic items appear in the future, it is not just him who can think of reducing the service life to maintain stable output and income.

Limiting the service life will almost become the common interest of all manufacturers, especially limiting the service life is often associated with lower costs, which is simply a killer.

The legendary "bad money drives out good money" is no exception.

...

In addition to these, Xia Duo also has to consider the stability factor. In the production of magic items, even magic scrolls, it is difficult for mages to continue to produce in order to meet a certain production target.

Unless it is a mage who has completely become a tool man, or the price is too high for the mages to refuse.

It is precisely because of this that Xia Duo proposed to sink technology and craftsmanship when the Tilak Research Laboratory was established, so that ordinary people can complete the links as much as possible, and apprentices can complete the links as much as possible.

Mages only do things that only they can do, which not only simplifies the work, but also makes it easier to form a common production standard, which is convenient for popularization, and also helps ordinary people to climb up.

If we want to form a magic civilization in the future, we will definitely need the ordinary people who make up the majority of the population. Providing them with more channels for advancement can almost be regarded as the foundation for the long-term and stable development of magic civilization.

At a time when most mages are not aware of the importance of ordinary people, Xia Duo has considered it in advance, which is also a considerable advantage.
