"Oh? Is it? Why do you think that the Verdant Tower has cracked the communication magic weapon of the Tower of Time, the magic network background communication spell has long been made public to all mage towers, and there are many types of communication magic weapons on the market, so can't it be developed by themselves? ”

Shado asked rhetorically.

However, in his heart, he was already more inclined to agree with what Anda Tleb said, and at the same time, in his heart, the possibility that Cross was the secret son of the Seven Towers had risen a lot.

In the face of Xia Duo's questioning, Anda Tlèb's face was even more anxious, and he hurriedly took out two magic items in the shape of crystal balls from the dimensional bag, and handed them to Xia Duo with both hands:

"Lord Xia Duo, please see, these two communication magic weapons were sent by my father from the south, whether they are the same as the communication magic weapons of the Tower of Time, presumably it is not difficult for Lord Xia Duo to tell!"

For the things handed over by strangers, even if it was in the relatively safe Mystery Temple, Xia Duo didn't get started at the first time, but carefully observed it, and then suppressed its link to the magic net with his magic ability, and then took it.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo casually cast a 5-ring [Identification Technique], if the target is indeed a communication magic weapon, the 5-ring [Identification Technique] is enough to deal with it.

And almost at the moment when he finished casting the spell, a light cluster "sandbox" completely wrapped a crystal ball in his hand.

In his perception, this light cluster is constantly penetrating the crystal ball, and at the same time, it seems to be operating some energy flow route, and it is indeed -

The so-called [Identification Technique] is actually a very special spell, in Xia Duo's understanding, it is very similar to the sandbox used by programmers when testing software or programs, which can simulate the use of magic items from the bottom up.

In other words, only a mage who can cast a 3-ring [Identification Technique] can identify a magic item containing a 3-ring spell, and if the magic item contains a spell higher than 3 rings, then the 3-ring [Identification Technique] will not be good.

Because there is no "full coverage".

Of course, just as the source code of the tested program cannot be seen in the sandbox test, the [Identification Technique] can only identify the relevant functions of magic items, and as for the specific spell details, there is no way to obtain them directly.

However, sometimes knowing the function, in fact, you can study the specific details of the spell yourself, similar to knowing the function of a software, and then it is easy to imitate it.

At the moment, the crystal ball-like magic item identified by Xia Duo was undoubtedly encrypted, although he couldn't know the details of its spell structure, but under the [Identification Technique], he quickly determined that it was a communication magic weapon.

And most importantly, he used the tests related to the Tower of Time communication spell to test this communication magic weapon, and the results were completely consistent.

This means that the Tower of Time communication artifact has an almost identical core to the one Anda Tleb took out.

If it is only similar in function, it is impossible to achieve this result, after all, the communication magic weapon of the Tower of Time has been mass-produced and designed, and in terms of spells, Xia Duo has also simplified and optimized it.

It is impossible for its core to be exactly the same as a communication artifact made with primitive spells!

As for whether it is a coincidence, Xia Duo does not consider it at all, if there is only one and two similarities, it can still be considered a coincidence, but the inner core of the spell design is almost identical, can this be explained by coincidence?

It seems that Anda Treib is right, the Verdant Tower does have ambitions to compete for the market for magical items!

If it's just imitation and reference, Xia Duo welcomes this kind of competition very much, but how to "100% reproduce", then Xia Duo is not happy.

With the plan that I spent a lot of manpower, material resources, time and energy to come up with, you just copied it away, and you didn't even let out a fart, which is too unhuman!

But now there is one last thing to be sure -

I saw that Xia Duozhang's spiritual light suddenly dimmed, and with a hint of resentment, he stubbornly used his imperial magic ability to cut off the link between the communication magic weapon and the magic net.

Then he cast a resonance spell, shattering the crystal ball in his palm, and a trace of crystal powder like quicksand slipped from between Xia Duo's fingers.

Xia Duo shook his hand and shook off the remaining crystal powder, leaving only a small and delicate set of Mithril components that had lost the flexibility of the material itself.

Seeing the structure of this group of Mithril components, Xia Duo sighed in his heart, and it was indeed copied!

The Tower of Time's Magic Mechanic Department has been implementing standardized mass production procedures from the very beginning, and a Mithril component like the one in front of him, which seems to be very similar, but in fact has not obtained the essence of the standard, Xia Duo can tell at a glance that it is not from the hands of the magic mechanics of the Tower of Time!

This is undoubtedly a poor imitation of others!

Looking at Anda Tremeb with a solemn face in front of him, Xia Duo suddenly smiled and asked, "Master Anda Tremeb, is this kind of communication magic weapon very popular in the south?" ”

"It's not too popular, but it's really popular within the Verdant Tower Alliance territory!"

"And what about their prices?"

"Only 800 gold!"

"800 gold?"

"Yes, these two coins were purchased by my father himself, and they are 900 gold coins each." Anda Treib said with great certainty.

Xia Duo didn't have much doubt about this price, after all, it was easy to investigate, and Anda Tlèb couldn't lie to him on such a question.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party's craftsmanship was not in place, and the price war started first, but the other party probably wouldn't have thought that the mass production cost of the Tower of Time was less than 200 gold coins!

But price wars are a nuisance, and while they are a powerful means of dominating the market, they also pull down overall profit margins.

And once the price war starts, it is difficult to end unless one side completely admits defeat, but there is no doubt that even the winner will be broken.

Xia Duo is very profit-oriented, and the education of all in the south and the civilianization of magic require a lot of capital investment, and the mass production of magic items for export is an important source of funds.

But now that the Verdant Tower wants to intervene here, and it is using such despicable means, how can this not make Xia Duo annoyed!

"Mage Anda Draib, I heard that Belera is preparing to return to the South, I wonder if you would like to become an agent of the Tower of Time Communication Artifact?"

"Agents?" Anda Tlaib paused for a moment, then overjoyed, "I do, I do, but—"

"Don't worry about Cross, I'll take care of him, if not, I can also lend you a teleportation scepter, it's enough for you to face Cross calmly."

As he spoke, Xia Duo took out a teleportation scepter that he had practiced before, although it was a work of practice, it was also fully functional, and it was only a little short of appearance and stability for his own use.

Of course, it is impossible to give such a precious thing directly to Anda Talib, even if it is to sell, Xia Duo is not very willing, so he can only borrow it.

But even if it was just "borrowing", Anda Tlaib was a little overjoyed.

The original intention of his stay tonight was only to obtain a magic item to save his life, and although he couldn't "buy" it now, he could be considered to have obtained it.

And the most important thing is that with the support and protection of Lord Chado, Hurd Leader has no worries!
