Chapter 2811: Two Heads Are Better Than One, Advantages of the Mythallar

As someone who shared a bed with her, how could Xia Duo not notice the lack of confidence in Niya's eyes? Thinking back to how strong-willed she had been when she first arrived, and seeing her become insecure now, this contrast made Xia Duo like her even more.

"I believe you can do it. We don't have to stand here and update the Communication Mythallar just because we released the news. We can release a bit of information every so often to reassure people; we can just take our time."

"Then aren't you worried about the sales of the new Communication Magic Artifact?" Niya looked up, rested her cheek on Xia Duo's shoulder, and asked in a low voice.

"A little, but only a little. Our Communication Mythallar is so good; it's their loss if others don't use it. What do we have to worry about!"

"You're just trying to comfort me!"

Niya tapped Xia Duo lightly, and then both fell silent, sitting quietly in front of the Projection Window, watching the construction site of the Territory outside.

……

After a moment of intimacy, Xia Duo returned to the Laboratory. Aiboke was already waiting for him there; after all, there was only one copy of his notes, and after such a long time, he should have been able to get a general idea of them.

"Do you understand what I am researching now?" Xia Duo asked.

"Hmm, I have just finished reading your research notes. To be honest, this kind of power truly exceeds my cognition, but it is undeniable that this is indeed a powerful force with extreme potential!"

Integrating the Void Warehouse into the Communication Mythallar was a plan Xia Duo and Niya had decided on long ago. That step was not difficult; it only required adding a Permission Level for the Communication Mythallar within the Void Warehouse system.

Seeing this, Xia Duo could not help but frown. This was not a good state for research. He could not help but remind the Spellcaster a couple of times, and did not let the other party join the experiment directly, but rather told them to watch first.

The so-called "one person's skills are limited, two people's skills are long," now that a Primitive Order Spell had been discovered, Xia Duo actually valued the analysis after the experiment more.

As for the testing of Order Spells, that could actually be handed over to the Spellcaster, but because the Spellcaster's Perception and control of Order Force were not direct, they could not intuitively understand the changes in Order Force; after all, Order Force and Arcane Magic were not the same system.

If one did not consider the influence of other aspects, just looking at this, the Spellcaster's probability of discovering a new Primitive Order Spell was at least twice that of Xia Duo's (approximate number).

Generally speaking, for a traditional Elven Mythallar, if there was no Node design, the maintenance cycle could be as long as hundreds or thousands of years, and the maintenance cost was just the wages of the Aiboke.

Currently, Xia Duo's experiments regarding Order Force were mainly concentrated on two aspects: one was the tug-of-war between the Aiboke's will and the rules of Order Force, and the other was the numerous tests of Primitive Order Spells and their variants.

And if there were Nodes involved, the maintenance cycle might be more frequent, but at least it was still counted in years; some excellent designs could even last a hundred years before needing repair, or even longer.

In this area, Xia Duo still preferred to do it himself. If he let the Spellcaster do it, perhaps the experiment would be steered back toward Arcane Magic, rather than the brand-new Order Force system.

Therefore, the core communication function of the Communication Mythallar must be integrated into the Mythallar itself, thereby minimizing the cost of use.

Aiboke's expression at this moment was very complex—there was extreme shock, surprise, and also thick anticipation, and even a trace of excitement from peeking at a taboo. The knuckles of the hand holding the notes were even turned pale white from his grip.

Without follow-up fees, if the plan of using an external auxiliary system were adopted, then the subsequent almost endless costs would be something the Tower of Time could not bear.

"The Void Warehouse system has already been established; now we just need to connect it to the Communication Mythallar. But the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce is not very optimistic about the promotion of the Void Warehouse among the Netherese Mage community, so this update must also have other functions regarding communication!"

Such as energy-conducting metals, stabilizing materials, packaging materials, decorative materials, and so on.

It was just that if Xia Duo did it himself, he might only be able to strike luck four times an hour, while the Spellcaster, because of their professional proficiency, could manage to strike luck eight times an hour.

But no matter what, it was still much more convenient than Xia Duo conducting the experiment alone.

"Alright, alright!" Although the Spellcaster adjusted their mindset very quickly, the leader of the Laboratory was Xia Duo, and it was not good for them to argue further.

……

The Void Warehouse charged fees, and the fees could cover the cost of use, while the Mythallar communication function was free, or rather, the user had already paid a one-time fee when purchasing the Communication Magic Artifact.

Maintenance costs were mainly the Aiboke's wages, as well as the maintenance of the environment supporting the Mythallar.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Niya returned to her own Laboratory and also began to adjust her research plan regarding the Mythallar, pausing research on adding Mythallar Nodes and putting all her energy into adding Mythallar functions.

The Void Warehouse was not the core function of the Communication Mythallar; it was more like an auxiliary system attached to the Mythallar, or it could be understood as an alternative Mythic Lock Connector, except that other Connectors could also access the Void Warehouse through the Mythallar.

It was just that the Spellcaster was not an Order Lord, so experiments in this area required Xia Duo's prior authorization and had to be conducted indirectly through Order Spells.

As for what functions to add, Niya actually had a plan long ago and was already researching them; it was just that previously she had hoped those functions would be completed all at once with the next Mythallar update, but now they had to be updated in advance.

If one were to do that, then the charging method for the Communication Magic Artifact would need to be changed to a monthly fee, but there was no precedent for this in Netheril, or even the entire Main Plane, and it was difficult to get consumers who were used to one-time purchases for lifelong use to accept it.

After all, the current experiment on the tug-of-war between the Aiboke's will and the rules of Order Force was more like relying on luck; only with good luck could one discover a Primitive Order Spell where the rules manifested.

As long as the environment did not change drastically, the former almost did not require any costs; it was mostly just the Aiboke's wages. Compared to any other tangible Magic Creation, maintenance did not require providing important resources other than the Aiboke—

The Spellcaster could help with both of these aspects, especially the former, as it just so happened that they could make use of the Spellcaster's rich experience in long-term research on Yuan Shi Zhi Li like Holy Power.

It is well known that the Mythallar might be the Magic Creation with the lowest single-use cost on the Main Plane, and if the creator's skill is sufficiently exquisite, even the manufacturing cost can be reduced to the minimum.

Of course, besides the experimental aspect (including testing), what Xia Duo valued in the Spellcaster was also the analysis and summary session after the experiment.

……

The Spellcaster might have more experience in this area, but it was not something that could be decided just because they had experience; there was also the joint effect of the rules of Order Force, and the Spellcaster knew almost nothing about that, so they were actually also relying on luck.

But the core communication function of the Communication Mythallar could not be like that, and the reason was very simple—
