Arcane Lord

The last step is to verify whether the accurate magic scrolls printed in batches by the printing press can successfully connect to the magic network.

Xia Duo has no doubts about this. There is no reason that a hand-drawn one can connect to the Magic Network, but a machine-printed one cannot, unless the Magic Network is deliberately targeting him.

And the facts proved that what he thought was true - all six accurate magic scrolls were successfully connected to the magic network and were in a state to be activated.

In addition, Xia Duo also thought that for those mages who are not good at making magic scrolls, this completely consistent and even standard [quasi-magic scroll] can just allow them to practice repeatedly and complete the last step.

"Being a magic technician is a new way of making money that I have opened up for you!"

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly felt that there was no need to release the printing press. As for whether others could develop similar ones, he didn't care. Could he point a knife at others and stop them from doing this?

As long as he can eat the first piece of cake in advance, he will feel satisfied.

Furthermore, the emergence of the printing press will also greatly promote the spread of magical knowledge. After all, this guy is not only used to print scrolls. If papermaking is added to it -

Thinking of papermaking, Xia Duo's expression suddenly turned bad. He still remembered the last time he tried to make paper in the north of Linshui Village and was visited by the great arcanist.

Fortunately, the person who came was the princess's teacher Byron. If it were someone with malicious intentions towards papermaking, the outcome would not be so easy.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo gave up the idea of ​​selling the [Quasi Magic Scroll] for money. It didn't matter if he used it for himself, but selling it specifically for sale would still be too eye-catching.

And based on his understanding of scrying spells, the printing press itself may have no problem taking out the Tower of Time, but if it starts printing, trouble may come.

Those who resist progress are the key, and even adding anti-scrawling capabilities to the printing press would only address the symptoms, not the root cause.

"It's better to hug the princess' thigh first!"

At this moment, Shado was very much looking forward to Niya mentioning that the ancestor of the great arcanist could really return. If Savile could really return, then it would not be unimaginable to take advantage of it to hug Iolum's lap again.

In fact, one of the first batch of floating cities was his Xia Duo!

…

Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo started the printing press one after another, and each [Quasi Magic Scroll] was quickly printed out. However, as he was printing, he suddenly found that there was still a problem in front of him, and that was— —

There is excess capacity.

Even if there is only this semi-automatic printing machine, if printing is allowed, there will be no problem in supplying the entire Tower of Time. However, no matter how much [Quasi Magic Scroll] is produced, it will not be real. The last step still requires real spell casting. to complete.

As long as they are human, they have their limits. For example, Xia Duo, even though he has become an arcanist, he can't do much if he has to spend a whole day connecting the magic web to the magic scroll. (Linking the magic network is approximately equivalent to casting the corresponding spell)

All said and done, before machines automatically connect to the magic network, the human factor is still very important. Only by cultivating more spellcasters can we have an advantage in the conceivable future.

And once the machine can automatically connect to the magic network (that is, magic items can create magic items), then the only thing that people can provide is wisdom.

Sha Duo couldn't imagine what such a scene would look like, but it was very possible that there was no "free kingdom" on earth. Because in this world, energy is unlimited, all that is missing is the way to use energy.

From this perspective, Sha Duo is increasingly able to appreciate the power of the God of Magic Network, because Magic Network is the master of energy mysteries. At the same time, he also reaffirmed his idea that the goddess of magic cannot fully control the Magic Network.

In other words, even if he can control the magic network, it doesn't make much difference to ordinary people. God is really too lofty. At least Xia Duo can't imagine what kind of existence God is.

But he believed that as long as he persisted in his view of the development of magic, even ordinary people would one day be able to rely on their own wisdom to reach the realm of God.

…

After printing another batch of [Quasi·Magic Scrolls], Xia Duo took this newly born magic printing press into his personal space. It is conceivable that he will not be able to use it for a long time in the future.

It is really possible that "it will not open for three years, but it will take three years for it to open"!

Of course, the reality may not be as exaggerated as three years, but as long as Xia Duo thinks about it, there will be no problem at all even if he prints enough [Quasi Magic Scroll] for thirty years in advance.

If you really do that, you may have to consider whether these scrolls can be preserved for thirty years. (The shelf life of true magic scrolls is not that long, unless they are specially treated or made of special materials)

…

And just when Xia Duo completed the production of the magic printing press and printed a bunch of [Accurate Magic Scrolls] in advance, and was about to return to Linshui Village to take a look, the tower spirit suddenly sent a prompt——

"Agent Xia Duo, Incident No. 1 has occurred, do you want to teleport it?"

Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was the plane exploration array of the Tower of Time that discovered a new projection plane. He had previously set up a No. 1 event in order to take advantage of the time difference between the projection plane and the main plane. , as soon as the main plane is discovered, it can be transferred to it immediately and then projected.

However, that was the past. Even if the time span of the projection plane is very long, every minute and every second in it will be returned to the body of the projector. Therefore, after becoming an arcanist, Shado decided that unless it was really necessary , otherwise there will be no more journey to the projection plane.

Even if it is to deal with dragon disasters and drow, there is no need to waste one's precious life.

And as time goes by, Xia Duo's judgment on the current situation becomes more and more comprehensive. There is a high probability that the drow will not fight, and Dragon Disaster, a group of unintelligent creatures, no matter how strong they are, how strong can they be? Woolen cloth!

He is really at peace now. Even if he still feels various potential crises in the main plane, they cannot be solved by going to the projection plane.

And just when Xia Duo was hesitating, the tower spirit sent another reminder, "The agent Xia Duo, the projection plane numbered 007, has disappeared——"

Come on, there is nothing to hesitate about. Although it may exist for a long time in the projection plane, it can only last for a short time in the main plane.

If you really spend a hundred years in the projection plane, after coming out, the time of the original body will quickly pass by for hundreds of years. Unless this thing does not want to live in the main plane, otherwise, it is better to come less.

Archmage Greta also conveyed the princess's reminder to Sha Duo that even if you have a special bloodline and live longer than ordinary people, there is no need to squander it on the projection plane.

After all, one cannot understand the desire for life until one has reached the end of life. However, Xia Duo personally witnessed a great mage transforming into an inhuman existence in order to extend his life. This greatly stimulated him. If it were Xia Duo himself, he would not Determine whether you can become a non-human being in order to extend your life.

Of course it's easy to say something casual and stop being a human being, but how many people can truly accept that kind of comprehensive transformation from body to three views?

It's not so much "non-human" as it is "not me". This is really terrible.
