It's not scientists who drive technology in this world, but spellcasters who have been around since ancient times, which leads to a strange phenomenon.

Technological faults

There is a huge technological gap between the caster and the ordinary class, and the caster disdains to study those low-level technologies that can benefit the ordinary class, and the effect that low-level technology can achieve can also be achieved by an ordinary spell, just like why does the caster have to study a "big brother" with a smartphone?

The only way for ordinary people to study technology is to enter the caster class, and they fall into an unsolvable cycle of endless life, so that ordinary people have been in a state of technological stagnation for thousands of years.

Now the Kingdom of Barron has been laying railways and building telephone networks, all thanks to the limited ability of spellcasters, the Western Continent where the Barron Kingdom is located is weak in the etheric element, the presence of the spell network is low, and the casters are generally lower classes that cannot be promoted, and only basic technologies can be studied, and these studies and magic have a more general name - modern magic.

The Kingdom of Barron is the beneficiary of modern magic, the casting environment is not friendly to the caster, but modern magic continues to change the lives of ordinary classes, factories use steam engine technology to complete automation, the street lamps depicting the magic array can run smoothly all year round, and the railroad tracks are laid to the developed cities of the country, which can be described as a technological or magical revolution, countless poets, merchants, and nobles sing the praises of this era of rapid technological development.

Norton, the capital of the Barron Kingdom, is a milestone in the development of technology, with the largest number of spellcasters in the country, new technology research being announced and put into practice every day, and countless merchants flocking to see great business opportunities.

Count Devon Henrietta is in such an environment, plus he is still a university graduate, he naturally has a strong ability to accept new technologies, in fact, he also likes technological innovation, for example, he now has a set of coffee grinders in his study that was given to him by a factory representative a few days ago, the mechanical volume is the size of a table, it can automatically extract coffee beans, purify them, and then pass through many glass pipes and beakers, the whole process is as magical and dazzling as casting a spell, and the brewed coffee also produces Crema, A type of coffee with a pale brown foam on the surface.

What is Crema? Whoever asks this question will probably be ridiculed by anyone who knows how to know coffee, which is the difference between a top coffee and a regular coffee, an effect that was previously only possible by buying expensive magic equipment to brew coffee, and many coffee lovers have never seen Crema in their lives.

Now, Count Devon Henrietta was drinking the coffee brewed by this magic coffee machine, but he had no intention of tasting the aroma.

On the projection cloth in the dimly lit room, Harvey is also explaining the function of the photographic crystal.

"This is a new visual effect, I call it [photography], as you can see now, an ordinary material illusion crystal can be transformed into a [photographic crystal], which can record about ten days, that is, two hundred and forty hours of length of the picture, its structure is similar to that of the human eye, so the picture we see...

······

The use of photography technology can achieve a new effect in the field of art, I call it "phantom", just like the "Sailor's Day" documentary that Count Devon just saw, if it was not "A Sailor's Day", but "The Count of Monte Cristo", what kind of artistic effect would it achieve? Oh, isn't that the drama? Of course not, drama can only be performed on stage, and [Photographic Crystal] allows actors to use the whole world as a stage to create a true story...

······

Although there is no immersive sense of stereoscopic projection, but there are no many drawbacks of stereoscopic projection, stereoscopic projection technology is a luxury that can only be accessed by spellcasters and nobles, [photographic crystal] is more commoner...

······

At the moment, that's what I'm going to do, I'm going to shoot The Count of Monte Cristo and then promote the technology, and The Count of Monte Cristo is arguably the best work to prove this technique..."

The video of the illusion crystal mailed to Count Devon Henrietta is more than an hour long, and Harvey comprehensively explains the role of the illusion crystal, its development prospects, and the analysis of the pros and cons. In fact, without Harvey's explanation, Devine can also judge the importance of this technology through the role of photographic crystals.

"In the beginning, people invented language and writing to communicate with each other, and then people found that language and writing could be organized to form a more magical effect, which was the birth of literature, and now, photography." This is a sentence that Harvey uttered when analyzing the crystal of photography, and understanding the meaning of photography is comparable to the invention of literature and writing!?

Is this ignorance or arrogance!

Ordinary people will only feel ridiculous when they hear this sentence, words and language are the greatest inventions in human history, and even spellcasters cannot do without these two things.

Count Devon Henrietta was shocked by these words, and his whole body was full of excitement, and when he came back to his senses, cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead, and he was agitated. There is no doubt that photography will become an important technique for people's expression and communication, just like paper, which greatly promotes the development of literature. For a long time in history, only wealthy families could afford to use paper and read books, and photographic crystals were commercialized as soon as they appeared.

As Harvey said, a new field can achieve a new visual effect, and any invention is no different from a human baby at birth, but the performance of photographic technology has been comparable to that of a teenager, and it can be put on the market, and it has a broader and unimaginable development prospect.

"Oh my God~ Why would a novelist study magic props, and he really researched them!" Count Devon Henrietta held his forehead and groaned, his face cloudy and uncertain, and he thought about it for a long, long time.

"The birth of this technology is like the influence of The Count of Monte Cristo on the literary scene of the Kingdom! I must not let it go, not to mention that Mr. Adrian also gave himself this letter, and I am grateful that he gave me this opportunity. Theatre and new technologies were not areas of his knowledge, but Count Devon Henrietta was even more reluctant to pass up an opportunity that could make him famous.

"Claire! Claire! Damn it! Claire, where are you!? Devin stood up and called out his servant's name, scrambling to close the envelope on the table.

The servant hurried in response: "Yes, Lord Earl! ”

Devon handed him an envelope and urged, "Now you go and buy what is requested in this letter, no matter what, you must make it up, only allow more and not less, even if it costs ten times the price." Oh~ Damn, I almost forgot. ”

Devin patted his forehead anxiously, returned to his desk and spent ten minutes writing a letter to the other servant.

"Go, give this letter to Count Arnold, and make sure to inform him of this, which may make the kingdom of Barron feel honored."

Dupont Arnold, a high-ranking spellcaster, was given the title of Earl because he was also the royal family's mage advisor, managing all techniques invented by spellcasters in the Kingdom of Barron, and usually only important ones were reviewed by him.

The Kingdom of Baron is not a big country in the West, and photography is an important technology that can influence the whole world, and the publication of the Kingdom of Barron will definitely make the name of the Kingdom of Barron famous all over the world.
