Chapter 391: Adjustment, Trouble
Now Xia Duo is only one step away from a high-level mage, and even out of the desire for [Teleportation], he has adjusted his advanced plan slightly.
Advanced Arcanists need to master fourteen knowledge, or courses, including theory and technique, such as "Arcanic Principles", "Soul Science", and "Deep Magic Web".
The increase in the cast level is throughout it, and if you continue to do it step by step, you will naturally become a high-level mage, and then you will progress to become an arcane master.
Now Xia Duo is only focusing on upgrading a little, and after mastering [Short Teleportation], not being able to master [Long Teleportation] is simply an ordeal.
After informing Nia of the arrival of Priest Cole and the situation involving the Rodney Domain, Xia Duo adjusted his next plan on his own, which would have delayed him a little in advancing to the Arcanist, but advanced his mastery of [Teleportation].
In fact, the confidence that Xia Duo was able to adjust his plan so casually also lies in the Tower of Time, or more accurately, the Plane Exploration Circle in the Tower of Time.
Being able to use the projection plane for accelerated learning, he actually doesn't care much about the time of the main plane anymore. The mentality has changed, and the timing of the main plane seems arbitrary.
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, in a small camp tent in Linshui Village.
Xia Duo pressed one hand on the spell book, and the other hand held the Mithril Pen in the air and made irregular gestures, if a senior mage was present, he would recognize these seemingly irregular gestures, in fact, reproducing the twisted trajectory of the strings of the magic web.
The main body of the spell is the will of the caster, and it has nothing to do with the hands and feet, and Xia Duo is actually just a subconscious behavior, 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, overlap, and repeat each other, never stopping.
For a long time, Xia Duo rubbed his eyebrows, dispelling the spell that was about to take shape in front of him, and wanted to upgrade quickly, on the one hand, the theory came first, but more importantly, he practiced more.
At the end of the day, as long as there are no automatic spellcasting tools, spellcasting 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 advanced arcanists, and going through [Long Teleportation] would have to take a little "detour".
This period of practice came to an end for the time being, Xia Duo was ready to go out for a walk and relax, his attitude towards spell casting practice training was similar to physical training, basically following the principle of small number and many times.
Ever since he knew that casting spells came from the soul and from the will, he never thought about casting spells to the limit, and often had to rest for a while when he was a little tired.
During this period, they either move their hands and feet, do physical training, or swordsmanship training; Either go out to inspect 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 [Pioneer Scepter] that he kept next to his hand, and swung it as a sword weapon at will.
The so-called swordsmanship, he is not superstitious, the elven sword singer is essentially a mage, and it is useless to simply practice swordsmanship without spells.
For swordsmanship, and even physical fitness, he only regarded it as a supplement to magic, just like on Earth, no matter how strong his physical strength is, it is only a supplement to machine guns and missiles.
Xia Duo can't do the things that put the cart before the horse and abandon the basics.
After a few moves, Xia Duo was about to go out for a walk, when Taling suddenly came with news that Alberk had something to do with him and asked him to go back.
It's been three days since the expulsion of Priest Cole, and for the past three days, Xia Duo has been waiting for news, news in all senses, but he didn't expect that before Niah's news arrived, Aiberk's news had arrived.
Xia Duo faintly felt that it was not a good thing, Lord Rodney coveted the Green Bead Forest, whether it was the Saville Lord, his Great Xia Lord, or the Tower of Time, in fact, they were all passive.
Once the unspoken rule is broken, it may not be Lord Rodney alone, and others may also be tempted.
Right now, it's a wave of development led by the princess, but where is there such a good place to develop the Green Bead Forest?
After years of cleaning up this place, the most serious threat to it, the orcs, and the lair have been knocked down.
Since then, Xia Duo has never seen an orc, and he doesn't know where the orcs who lost their lair have gone.
It can be said that the Green Bead Forest is already a familiar land, almost at your fingertips, at least Xia Duo didn't feel any difficulty, what is lacking is nothing more than population.
Population is a problem for Xia Duo, but it is not necessarily a problem for those inland lords, there has been no expansion in the past hundred years, and the orc tide in the interior has almost been wiped out, so the population must be large.
Thinking of the scene where the mainland lord sent a large number of people into the Green Bead Forest with a portal, Xia Duo felt very irritable.
After packing up his belongings and summoning Layton to explain a few words, Xia Duo called Taling to guide the teleportation and returned to the Tower of Time.
……
Alberke's Reception Room.
In addition to Alberke, Cecily was also there this time, and Xia Duo didn't come to greet him, so he asked directly, "What happened?" ”
Albert didn't mind Chardo's faux pas, in fact, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it at this time, and when he heard Chardo's inquiry, he replied, "The heads of several chambers of commerce have just informed Mayor Sean that they will no longer sell magical materials to Savile in the future. ”
"Wait!" Xia Duo immediately objected, "Didn't you sign a contract before?" Say you don't sell if you don't sell? ”
"Of course there are contracts, but as long as it's a contract, there are loopholes, and that's how it is this time." As he spoke, Alberke pointed to the stack of contract documents on the small square table in his hand and sent it to Xia Duo.
Xia Duo took the contract document, roughly flipped through a few times, there are several copies of this stack of contracts, all signed with the big chambers of commerce in the mainland, in addition to the color text on the contract, in order to prevent ambiguity, there is also a version of the elf text.
He focused on the number of contracts, the main contents of which were the materials provided by the Chamber of Commerce and the right of first refusal to obtain the output of the Tower of Time.
The details are quite detailed, even to the point of specifying the origin and quality of each material.
It seems that Xia Duo did not find any obvious loopholes, and these contracts can be called a model of contracts on the earth.
He couldn't help but wonder, "What are the loopholes in these contracts?" ”
"These contracts were signed relatively early, and there was no fixed share agreed upon in consideration of the actual situation, and now the trouble is coming."
"Fixed shares?" Xia Duo subconsciously repeated.
Albert thought that Xia Duo didn't know this, so he explained to him, "This is the first to be proposed by some mage towers in recent years, so that a single supplier can provide a fixed amount of materials on a regular basis, and of course, correspondingly, the mage tower must also be purchased at the market price, this new form of procurement is very stable, and it is beneficial to both parties." ”
The First Clan
In fact, Xia Duo had already understood when he heard about the fixed share, which was indeed very stable, but for the acquirer, that is, the Mage Tower, it was necessary to fix the expenditure on a regular basis.
However, the Mage Tower is not actually a stable production unit, and only the larger Mage Towers (organizations) can maintain such a procurement method.
