It has been almost half a year since the junior mage Tilak established his own research laboratory. Even the last time he came here was more than a month ago.
I don’t know if there will be any unexpected surprises when I come here this time.
While walking to Tilak Research Laboratory, Shado also contacted Dean, who had already joined Tilak Research Laboratory. However, he was not asking about the progress of the research, but about the current situation of [Enter the Society].
Previously, he set up a separate authority in the Tower of Time for the members of the Association to promote the transformation of the Tower of Time. He has always been concerned about the situation of the Association.
"Xia Duo, you don't know. When those apprentices heard that you founded the Institute, they tried their best to squeeze in. Our seminar plan for the Institute went very smoothly and has covered almost all the apprentices in the Tower of Time.
.”
Although he had not met him, Shado could tell from Dean's excited voice that the recent development of the Institute was quite smooth.
The so-called seminar plan is actually to extend the seminar model within the academy to all apprentices, creating an academic atmosphere of "cooperation, development, sharing, and win-win".
After thinking for a while, Xia Duo asked again: "How many apprentices want to join us now?"
"This -" Dean hesitated, "There are indeed a lot of people, but not everyone wants to join us. I just counted it the day before yesterday, and there are probably only more than a hundred."
It seemed that Dean's previous words were still a bit exaggerated, but Shado didn't care. There were more than a hundred, which was beyond his expectation. The total number of apprentices in the Tower of Time was only two to three hundred.
And even if there are so many people who want to join the Institute, it is impossible for the Institute to accept them all.
Otherwise, why should there be divisions between “formal members”, “preparatory members”, “associate members” and “activists”!
After chatting for a while, Dean suddenly asked: "Xia Duo, what is the use of the new permission to enter the society? We have tried many times, but we haven't found any difference from before."
Of course, the new authority not only separates the organizational relationship, but also has practical new authority that can be used in the Tower of Time. Regarding this, Xia Duo has already planned it, but the time is not yet mature.
However, since Dean mentioned it, he didn't mind revealing it in advance, "The new permissions will allow members of the society to use the spell laboratory for free, and it will be implemented after a while."
Whether it is the transformation of the Tower of Time or to adapt to the arrival of a new era, the demand for grassroots mages is always rising, but the general environment tends to be conservative, so Xia Duo can only do it step by step.
Otherwise, fully opening up basic knowledge is the most direct, fastest, and of course the most violent method.
At this point, Tilak's research laboratory was already in sight, and Shado and Dean stopped communicating at the same time. At the same time, the door of the research room opened, and Tilak came out with a flush of excitement on his face:
"Sir, our experiment was successful! It was successful!"
"Oh?" Xia Duo was refreshed when he heard this. It has only been half a year, and the permanent magic has achieved results? If it is still like before, it is just a "magic effect", it is not a real achievement at all.
.
"Sir, please follow me! We really succeeded this time!" Tilak said quickly.
…
Entering inside, many faces of members of the society appeared here, with a sense of arrogance, excitement and excitement on their faces. Seeing Xia Duo's arrival, the crowd immediately separated.
Xia Duo had been here many times before, nodding to the crowd, and then skillfully came to the general laboratory inside, and saw the target this time on the alchemy circle at the innermost part of the general laboratory——
Just like the "magic mirror" last time, this time it's still a mirror, but this time the mirror is like a bright lamp, shining continuously!
At this time, Tilak also introduced it at the right time: "Sir, please see, we have just successfully made this mirror. Although it has not been tested by time, I can be sure that it will continue to shine steadily for more than a day!"
Sha Duo nodded and agreed with Tilak's words. Spell identification is a lifelong course that a mage learns from the apprenticeship stage. With Sha Duo's magical attainments, it is not difficult to judge the duration of the spell on this mirror.
"Three days, it can last at least three days!" Sha Duo said with certainty, looking at Tilak with a little more expectation.
Although there is still a certain gap between this mirror and the "lamp" made by real magic constancy, the fact that it can last for three days is no longer a qualitative gap, but a gap in length and quantity.
"You've done a great job!" Xia Duo praised him without hesitation, and then asked, "How much does this mirror cost?"
Speaking of cost, Tilak's expression suddenly became tangled, "Sir, this is just the beginning, the cost will be reduced later!"
"I know, let's talk about it first!"
"Yes." Tilak did not pick up the mirror, but just deflected the mirror a little, and then explained: "Sir, the main body of this mirror is pure silver. It was shaped through an alchemical circle and incorporated with mithril threads to act as a mirror.
The magic network link point, the cost of these materials alone is less than 50 gold coins, plus the depreciation of the alchemy circle, the caster's labor, and excluding the previous research costs, the comprehensive cost of this long-lasting reflector is about 120 gold coins."
When Tilak was talking, Shado was also calculating silently. His calculation was slightly higher than Tilak's, but this did not affect the fact that the cost of this mirror was really low!
Even if it costs 120 gold coins, combined with the light spell that can last for at least three days, it is still quite cost-effective. Even with future technological improvements, the longer the duration, the more money you will save!
However, this is just a magic item with a 0-level spell attached. If it is attached with a higher-level spell, the cost will inevitably increase again.
But compared with the magic items currently on the market, they are almost cheap.
A talisman of light created from mithril components has a market price of around 250 gold coins, but it can only last for a short period of time and must be "cooled" for a period of time before it can be used again.
This kind of permanent magic item, if the technology is mature, will have the flexibility and long-term effect of the magic constant spell creation, as well as the stability of the mithril component creation, and the price can be maintained at a certain level.
Extremely competitive!
Even now, if this mirror is sold for 250 gold coins, there will definitely be a lot of people rushing to get it. Not to mention the new technology used in this mirror, the mirror itself is worthy of such a price.
Shado once again praised Tilak and encouraged: "Keep working hard. I hope the next item will be related to [Magic Alert]. While researching, we must pay attention to discover the inherent similarities in the production methods between different magic items.
, summed up the general manufacturing experience.”
Although it is still a bit early to talk about this, everything will be successful if it is not prepared, and Shado does not want Tilak to turn this new technology with great potential into a craftsman's craft.
What he needs is general technology that can be industrialized, rather than personal craftsmanship.
Otherwise, he would make it himself. With his success rate, no matter what technology he uses, he can reduce costs, but this has nothing to do with others or the times, and Xia Duo will not take it.
