After listening to Lord Shado's explanation, Charles Harlan fell into deep thought for a while.

His instincts told him that Lord Chado should have something to hide; But reason told him that if there really was any way to produce quickly, the news would have been heard here in Severington.

Prince Pasteur's request needs to be taken seriously, but the relationship between Lord Chado needs to be maintained.

Without much thought, Charles Harlan made his choice, "Prince Pasteur is only too worried about war to make such a request, Lord Chateau, I will truthfully convey your answer to Prince Pasteur, I believe he can understand." ”

From Prince Pasteur's side, he could only get money benefits, while on the side of Lord Chateau, he could get even more.

Charles never forgot that the reason why he was able to talk to Prince Pasteur and gain a certain degree of respect from the other party was not because Lord Chado provided him with a continuous and stable supply of demon-slaying talismans.

If this line is broken, Prince Pasteur's side is probably going to be broken too.

It is not possible to judge which is more important than the other.

Charles said that Prince Pasteur could understand, and it was not an empty word, maybe the other party could not understand, but he had to pretend to understand.

This is the situation, after all, even the other party himself says that it is a request and a hope, not a request or a transaction or something.

……

After the episode of Prince Pasteur, Xia Duo and Charles discussed the number of orders for the demon slaying talisman next month, and when Xia Duo proposed that the production might be doubled next month, Charles was really surprised, delighted, and a little afraid.

The joy is that the production has doubled, and his voice on the side of Prince Pasteur has increased again; The surprise is that the Tower of Time may really have some secret method for rapid production, but that's none of his business.

As for the fear, if he had pressed the other party with Prince Pasteur just now, he might regret it now.

"Lord Shado, the cooperation with you is the most fortunate thing for me."

"Hopefully, the future is still long, and I hope our cooperation will be long-lasting."

In fact, Xia Duo's impression of Lord Harran is not very good, too impatient, and too focused on immediate interests, but as a current collaborator, he still has the obligation to remind the other party a few words.

……

The specific gradient offer of the Demon Slayer Talisman had been negotiated before, and this time Xia Duo did not entangle with Lord Harran too much, and still maintained the previous negotiation results.

After sending Lord Harran away, Chado sat in the reception room for a while, pondering the implications of Prince Pasteur's request, and now it was easy to find an excuse to refuse.

I'm afraid that the other party will make trouble in the Northland Alliance, and if everyone knows about it, maybe it will not be a secret that it will be mass-produced.

In fact, for now, many mage tower organizations have already touched the threshold of division of labor and cooperation in the production of magic items, but they may not have done a special mass production design, so they can't reduce the cost to the extent that they have an overwhelming advantage over a single person.

As for standardized mass production, that is another threshold, Xia Duo has the background of passing through the aborigines of the pre-industrial era, so that the standard can be advanced in a high-level way.

In fact, the standardization process on the planet only gradually developed after the Industrial Revolution, and did not appear at the beginning.

If the earth is like this, if it develops naturally, it will not be too different.

"I'm a variable!"

Xia Duo thought that every time he wanted to get a stable opportunity for development, all kinds of things would come to him, and this was the case with Miser Energy, and the same is true for the current stage of preparation for industrialization.

Maybe you can comfort yourself with the paragraph "the sky will descend on the people", but Xia Duo really doesn't want to have too many variables beyond his control.

It's enough to have such a variable of your own, it's too much, it's really troublesome!

……

After a moment of thought, Shado set off for Iolum's lab.

"Teacher, I just left in a hurry and didn't have time to ask, what is the problem with the production of the Davy string member automatic preparation machine?"

As soon as he arrived at the laboratory, Xia Duo saw Iolam who was busy in the central suspension field of the laboratory, and as for the other students mentioned earlier, there was not even a shadow.

At this moment, he had every reason to suspect that Iolem was trying to trick himself into coming back.

Of course, this was just a joke, and when he saw Iolem's face, he knew that his cheap teacher was probably ruthless this time.

His eyes were almost flushed, and his eyes showed deep exhaustion, and Xia Duo even suspected that he might not have even rested in the two days since he left.

"You're here!"

As soon as Iolem spoke, his hoarse voice seemed to startle even himself, and he coughed heavily before he adjusted and said:

"I asked Broad just now, and he said that he couldn't understand the component design plug-in, Broad and they were in the laboratory next to it, and the Davy string component automatic preparation machine drawings you left behind, they studied it for two days and haven't started the actual production, go help them!"

"Good! But - it's time for the teacher to go to rest! ”

Chado glanced at the half-finished experimental machine of the independent Orian Fire Device behind Iorim, and reminded, "Don't let days of work be ruined by fatigue work." ”

"I see, you go over first!"

Iolem did this, and Xia Duo didn't insist anymore, after all, he was just doing a reminder that everyone is an adult and is responsible for their own decisions, presumably Eolem knows the severity.

……

Acanthus Franco, Laboratory 012.

When Xia Duo entered the inside, he only saw five people, including Broad, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, Iolem had lived for hundreds of years, and the number of students was certainly not enough to count on one hand.

But in this situation, a large number of people may not be a good thing, and he was really worried that Iolem would call dozens of people at once, or even hundreds of people, so he would have to reassess Iolem's mental state at the moment.

He didn't want to be tied to a wrecked ship destined to capsize.

Thankfully, Iolem hadn't been carried away by the thirst for an independent Arcane device, knowing that the fewer people in the know, the less likely it would be to reveal the flaws.

At this moment, in the laboratory, the arrival of Xia Duo undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, and Broad strode towards him:

"Xia Duo, you are finally here, I will introduce you."

As he spoke, he guided Xia Duo to the four people who were trying to make Davy strings by himself, and then introduced them one by one:

"These are the teacher's students—Lowe, Pegass, and Olsson; The rest is my student, my brother, and of course my teacher's student—Gavani. Among them, Luo Wei is a senior arcanist, and although the others are a little less timely, their talent is not inferior to Luo Wei. ”

"You're glad to meet you!"

"Luckily!" *4
