One hundred and ninety-four Saints or devils
"Theresia changed the lives of many people......"
In the Earldom of Behemia, just outside the town next to the castle, a storehouse-like structure has risen from the ground, and countless people are busy coming and going. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not far away, on the hillside, a beautiful woman in a rich robe and a young man in a linen robe surveyed the scene.
The beautiful sorceress is none other than Rowanna, and the young man who looks like an ascetic and has a noble sword at his waist is naturally Richie. However, with Li Qi's figure half a head taller than Rowanna, and his chest and shoulders have become thick and broad, he is already a young man at the age of eighteen.
Rowanna was still expressing her feelings: "Theresia abolished the local privileges of the Loyal Divine Court, confiscated the land and property of the Church, and did not allow the Church to collect holy water taxes and sell things like charismatic vouchers and indulgences. The new Loyal Divine Alliance is much looser and much more incorruptible than the Divine Court. In the countries of Hadrang, Tangus, and Sachiton, she was already a wise king admired by everyone. ”
"Even the magicians from the Storm Isles are praising her. She dispelled the invisible confinement that was suppressed on the magician, and provided a very relaxed development environment for the magic workshop that wanted to show its talents. ”
Her words suddenly turned to Richie: "The Elanis incident is now known to everyone in Fain, who used to call her the Queen of the Blood Crown in private, but now they all change their names to Queen Dawn, thinking that she is the incarnation of the Goddess Dawn. Richie, you don't have a lot to offer. ”
"I've only done a trivial job," Richie is modest, and to be honest, he didn't expect his propaganda campaign to be so effective.
It's mid-July, and it's only been half a month since he pulled Aurora and Ida and urgently tossed out the fantasy drama "Theresia and Freya". Through the new specification of the recording chip, as well as the mirage book and scroll that Rowanna worked overtime, it was only a dozen days to spread to all parts of Finn, but the results have far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Even Theresia herself, through her attendants, conveyed to Litchie that she did not want to "overhype" the Alanis incident again. In Aurora's words, this sudden wave of fame that pressed on her body, even Theresia was a little panicked.
Li Qi thinks that this phenomenon is like the first large-scale use of antibiotics by humans on Earth, and the effect is naturally amazing before drug resistance is cultivated.
"You may have done a small thing for Theresia's business, but for us at the Wizard Workshop, what you did meant a lot. ”
Rowanna's tone was completely reserved as a legend should be: "I never thought that making magic guidance equipment as cheap as possible would make it more profitable, and it would also open up a steady stream of new markets. Richie, how did you come up with this subversive way of thinking?"
"This is the divine revelation of our Lord", Li Qi is as sincere as ever: "As a priest of our Lord, the way to practice the doctrine of all for me and I for all is to serve the people." As long as you are dedicated to bringing convenience to mortals, you will naturally be richly rewarded. ”
"Serving the People ......"
Rowanna nodded, with a faint understanding.
Of course, she didn't understand the deeper divine sense, but she knew that when she made the cost of the Mirage Book less than two gold bushels and the cost of the Mirage Scroll to less than five gold bushels per meter, the orders she had received were already counting in the hundreds of thousands, and this was just the starting point. With the continuous popularity of this "visual magic industry", the market will inevitably show explosive growth, and where the limit is, it is no longer something she can estimate.
The industry wasn't just about the "Phantom Machine", and when she improved the Mage's Eye, the new "Camera" became the standard tool for shooting Mirages. The corresponding product design and operation mode will surely become the technical standard of the photography industry in the future.
Demonic Silk Paper was another bonus, as she found it to be a perfect base for magic scrolls for low-level spells. Compared to the base materials that cost a few gold bushels, the cost of a few silver pennies is enough to bloodied the traditional magic scroll industry.
The future of the recording chip is even broader than that of the mirage machine, which will serve as a universal carrier for recording all kinds of information, including the mirage. Don't look at the shipping price of each blank chip is only two or three silver pennies, the demand at this stage is more than one million, what will be the scale in the future, the number is so big that her scalp is numb.
In response to the snowflakes of orders, Rowanna finally left behind the tradition of the Magic Workshop and began to massively expand her production capacity. The "storehouse" built at the foot of the hillside is the new workshop of the Rowanna workshop.
Li Qi provided selfless help in this regard, he transferred the concept and technology of assembly line production to Rovanna without reservation, and with the help of Herizal, who was already familiar with this set, Rowena had the confidence to take these orders.
However, this was not enough, if the top workshops in the Storm Islands noticed such a trend and entered in a big way, Rowanna felt that she could not resist it at all.
Rowanna was extremely glad that she had not forgotten Li Qi's advice, that the magic circle for playing the mirage and the information recording principle of the chip must not only have unique technology, but also have encryption means.
The principle of playing the magic circle of the mirage is very simple, and it is easy to be copied and imitated. After the overthrow of the Golden Family, how solid the Mage Federation's magic technology patents were, Rowanna didn't dare to have much confidence.
Even if she has Li Qi's guidance and has an advanced assembly line production process, the cost can be very low. But the assembly line is such a thing, and it can be understood at a glance.
With encryption, it is not absolutely and forever possible to eliminate plagiarism and imitation, but at this critical stage of market take-off, you can maintain it for a period of time to ensure that you grow to a sufficient scale to be invincible in the competition.
But......
Even with such a goal, it is still difficult to achieve it on its own, and the expansion of the workshop is still too slow.
"If you don't have enough money, you can get a loan from Timmy. ”
Sensing her concerns, Li Qi tried his best to help come up with an idea: "She has already provided a loan of 200,000 gold bushels to the Mill Workshop, and the annual interest is only 30%. I'm a poor ghost here, and it's the limit to be able to mix it up. ”
In the entire industry, Li Qi only worked as a supplier of raw materials for Rowanna's workshop, such as spider silk.
Richie was also very interested in the camera she had made, and asked for all the technology, including the spell model, and built a Mazzis workshop to make the camera. I agreed with her that I would not make products for civilian use, but only high-end products for specific users.
"The industry is developing too fast, I see a lot of businessmen selling copycats on the Gods and Demons Network, and one person can't eat alone," Li Qi said: "And the entire visual industry includes all aspects of information acquisition, recording and broadcasting, and it is impossible for one person to eat all the links." ”
Rowanna realized: "You mean ......"
Li Qi nodded: "Yes, I suggest that you find one or two links and seize the opportunity as soon as possible, instead of spending effort on each link." This link should be the most upstream product or technology, so that you can not only grasp the downstream link, but also find it difficult for others to compete with you by following suit. ”
Rowanna's eyes flashed with a clear brilliance: "From the product point of view, the camera and the recording chip have a certain threshold, technically speaking, the technology of these two types of products is controlled, and the playback of the intermediate link is also controlled." ”
"I'm going to focus my power on these two links, and if I'm going to use the Mirage Machine, I'll be able to turn the Demonized Spider Silk Paper...... That is, the display screen you said was extracted as the focus. And the whole mirage machine, in the form of patent licensing, together with some other workshops, pull them together to seize the market, and even in the end I can give up the part of the mirage machine. ”
With vision and ambition, he deserves to be a legendary.
Li Qi secretly said that the beautiful woman standing in front of him was afraid that she would become Finn's first magic industry giant.
"But the speed is still too slow", Rowanna sighed again, "It's mainly a matter of manpower, there are seven processes for demonizing spider silk paper, and four processes for recording chips require extraordinary strength. It's fine to assemble a mirage with a civilian, but the test has to be done by a professional, and my apprentice alone can't handle it. ”
Li Qi asked, "Didn't you recruit a lot of fallen saints from the Church of Joy?"
After Theresia cleared the oppression of the Loyal Divine Court, a large number of the lowest clergy were liberated and were no longer the object of oppression by the priests. But most of them have joined Theresia's army and have risen through the ranks of the new Loyal Alliance.
Only a few clergy, such as the lower levels of the Church of Music and Art, the Church of Grace, and the Church of Delight, had no choice but to find another way out because they could not help the war.
After the fall of Lady Huanyue, the most devout clergy lost their powers, and instead the less faithful retained some general magic, although most of them were demoted.
There are quite a few of these "fallen saints", and they are the object of competition for the Wizard Workshop along with other clergy who cannot find a way out. Rowanna relied on Aurora's relationship to eat the lion's share of Hadran's kingdom.
"It's still not enough compared to the amount needed for future development," Rowanna sighed greedily.
Li Qi heard the temptation in her words: "Recently, on the Gods and Demons Network, I have also seen a large number of professional slave transactions, and the driving force behind it is a magic workshop like you." ”
Rowanna smiled: "If you want to talk about promoters, Li Qi, you also have a share." The Wizard Gun and the Mirage Machine opened the Wizard Workshop to new business opportunities, causing their demand for professionals to skyrocket, and of course they would choose slaves who don't want money. ”
"I don't carry this black cauldron," Li Qi said, "The magicians of the Storm Islands came to the mainland to open the magic workshop, but I didn't cause it. Although the magic guide gun and the mirage machine are developing rapidly, they are still a fraction of the traditional magic guide industry. The vast majority of the slave trade promoted by the Wizard Workshop still meets the needs of the traditional Wizard industry. ”
His expression became serious: "Slavery is a crime that our Lord abhors, and eradicating this crime is the goal of our church at this stage. So Master Rowanna, if you intend to use slaves, our friendship will be in vain. ”
"Ahaha, I didn't say I wanted to use slaves", Rowanna smiled weakly, "Don't be so sensitive, Richie, I know your beliefs." ”
She sighed again, "You, for such a faith, you have a hard time with Theresia, and Aurora has told me about it. ”
Li Qi said again: "So, I think the best way is to establish the Magician Academy and train civilians to become magicians. I also proposed to Theresia to establish a junior seminary, to snatch the apprenticeship training channel monopolized by the church, so that more civilians have the opportunity to obtain extraordinary powers, and in the future, your magic workshop will not be useless. ”
Rowanna agrees: "This is indeed a direction ......"
But she didn't think about it more, after all, it had nothing to do with her business: "When the time is right in the future, let's see if it's feasible together." ”
Rowanna looked at Li Qi's fading green face again, and her eyes were shining: "Generally speaking, it is difficult for wisdom and nobility to coexist in a person, but Li Qi, you have let me see a living example." You're a saint. ”
"Uh......"
Caught off guard by a mouthful of milk, Li Qi almost coughed, he blushed and waved his hand: "Where, where." ”
"Isn't it? Who else is so noble in his character, and wholeheartedly plans for my workshop, and does not ask for anything in return?"
Rowanna grabbed Richie's arm and performed the natural chest skills shared by the women of the Behemian family. Although the touch on his arm is not as deep and soft as that of Aurora, the benefits from the legendary magician still make Richie's heart flutter.
He replied as if chanting, "Master, when your magic instruments enter thousands of households, allowing mortals to enjoy the convenience brought by extraordinary power. When your workshop is full of professionals who can support yourself and your family without having to risk your life, you have repaid me. ”
"You mouth......"
Rowanna poked the corners of his mouth in disgust: "I really know how to say sweet words." ”
Sweet?
It's a curse!
Curse you, the magician industrial capitalists, to rise and collapse again.
Curse you to the death knell in the tide of the Crimson Revolution!
Li Qi's face was expressionless, but his heart was secretly refreshed, and he didn't know how much of it was enjoying the benefits of the legendary magician, and how much was the pride of the devil's plot.
