Chapter 1427 Industrial Design, Standard Equipment
"But my lord, there aren't many people like this, even if they are territorial guards!"
Gibb was originally the leader of the territorial guard, and the training of the members of the territorial guard in the use of magical items was provided by his brother Ava, who knew the real situation of the territorial guard better than anyone else.
Gibb knew how many people in the Territorial Guard were skilled in using magical items today, there were less than a hundred, and he could even name them one by one.
As for the situation in the vigilante, apart from himself, only a few of his subordinates who had brought him from the territorial guard would use magic items.
In Gibb's opinion, to defend the long passage of 25 new miles, and ensure that nothing goes wrong, even if all the 100 people are over, it may not be enough.
After all, magic items have a limit to use, and the pattern is fixed, so it is difficult to improvise.
Unless all of these 100 people are mages and can cast spells freely.
Thinking of this, Gibb's eyes couldn't help but light up, thinking of the Tower of Time mages who had recently followed Atwood to organize the pioneers in the northern part of the [Great Xia-Savile Passage].
If we can send him some mages, maybe such a task will not be difficult to accomplish.
It's just that Gibb can't say anything at all, even if he can understand the lord's intention to treat the mage as an ordinary person, but it is the lord, and for himself, the mage is still an existence he only dares to look up to.
If he really said it, even if the lord was unified, he might not dare to command one or more official mages.
But for Chado, he was already ready to deal with it when he raised the matter, and the shortage of manpower mentioned by Gibb was not a problem at all in his opinion.
"The tools prepared for you this time will no longer be some basic magic scrolls, but real magic equipment, which is enough for a few people to have quick reactions and strong combat capabilities."
"My lord, I don't know what kind of tool it is, if the operation is too complicated, we can't use it!"
……
Gibb points up a problem that ordinary people can't avoid when it comes to the use of magical items, and generally speaking, being able to use magical items means having the ability to cast spells.
And if you can use magic items that are complex to manipulate, you have the potential to become a real spellcaster, or a talent.
It's not impossible that potential and talent will be buried, but these are already adults, and they haven't been exposed to magic for a long time, and they have only received some surprise training in the last year or two, what is the probability that they will be able to catch up quickly?
Therefore, for ordinary people, especially adults, learning to use a relatively fixed magic scroll is already the limit.
If they can learn more complex magical items, such a person should probably go straight to the caster.
However, since Xia Duo said that it is a new tool, he naturally will not fail to consider these.
Under normal circumstances, except for a few passive cohomology magic items, the vast majority of magic items are not designed for ordinary people, but his new tool is not.
Although it may only be the current generation, Xia Duo will also take into account the limits of their spell casting, and make a special design for ease of use at the operational level.
In fact, even in the future when the number of casters increases, ease of use will be the trend.
This is actually the concept of industrial design, and in the current era of Nesser, naturally not many mages think about this, they think more about the actual effect of magic items.
As for the user experience, energy consumption, materials, appearance, and even whether it will cause irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, etc., unless the objective conditions are really unavoidable, they are generally not considered.
Maybe it's just a matter of doing it, and it's rare to do a special design.
In this regard, the elves have clearly gone ahead, at least in terms of experience and appearance, elven magic items are quite a distance ahead of the human side.
Although the new tool that Xador promised has not yet been made, he has already begun designing it when he arranged for Ava to train members of the territorial guard to use magical items.
Basically, it can be regarded as the standard equipment of security officers and soldiers in the future territory.
……
"Jib, you don't have to worry about the new tool, as long as you are proficient in using the magic scroll, the new tool will only be a tool for you to take advantage of, not a hidden danger for your life.
"As for what the new tool is, because it hasn't been made yet, there may be changes, so I won't talk about it for the time being, but the general direction has been determined, and I'll give you a hint, what ability do you envy the mage the most?"
After saying that, Xia Duo glanced at the others in the conference room again, "You can also guess. ”
"What ability do you envy the most?"
Gibb frowned and pondered, if you want to say that you envy the most mage's ability, it is undoubtedly the ability to cast spells, as long as you have this, it is not that you can learn any spell you want.
However, he also knew that what the lord wanted to say was definitely not this, it should be some kind of specific spell, which was very enviable.
Combined with the garrison distance of 25 new miles, a thought suddenly popped into Jibu's mind, and at this moment, he was so excited that he was almost speechless:
"My lord, could it be—the ability to fly?!"
The others also looked at Xia Duo thoughtfully, expecting to get an accurate answer from the lord's mouth.
"Yes, it's the ability to fly!"
"Really?!"
Gibb suddenly exclaimed with excitement, as a ground creature, flying is almost every human dream, especially when he knows that there is a kind of person who can fly freely, this desire is even stronger.
But unfortunately, unless it is carried by the caster, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to realize their dream of flying.
Although flying scrolls are relatively rare on the market, they do exist, and the price is not unattainable for Gibb, even when he was in Savile in the past.
However, just like the Fireball scrolls, they are scarce not because of the low production, but because of the low sales, and the barriers to use are high, and they are also quite dangerous.
Like the fireball scroll, if you are not careful, it will not be the enemy who dies, but yourself.
Flying is the same, flying into the sky, if something goes wrong, as an ordinary person, there is no other way but to wait for death.
Basically, this kind of magic scroll is used by the caster himself, because if something goes wrong, it can usually be solved by itself.
If an ordinary person dares to use it at will, it is either because he lacks the heart eye, or he is at least a senior expert in the use of magic items.
