Chapter 764: Efficiency of a High Mage, 0.7%

A little later, just as he finished sealing the spell on the wall of the practice room that served as a Focus Training generator, Xia Duo heard familiar footsteps behind him. He turned his head and, sure enough, it was Niya!

He walked over to another wall, and while continuing to cast spells to remove the Protective Spell on the wall, he asked Niya, "What did the Princess say? Was the Drow's Magic Core attacked?"

"The teacher didn't reply, but the agency contract with the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce has already been signed."

Hmm? The Princess has lost contact again?

Xia Duo almost lost his focus because of this. Fortunately, he hadn't been lazy with his Focus Training previously, so he didn't make a fool of himself in front of Niya. He continued to ask, "When is the delivery scheduled?"

"The day after tomorrow. Those ships from the north are about to set sail for their return journey. Mage Poluokan plans to leave by ship. He said if it's convenient for the Tower of Time, they can provide the first batch of goods, and he can promote them to the Elves while on the ship."

"I almost forgot about this!"

Xia Duo collected his thoughts, quickly finished casting, and said to Niya, "Please put more effort into the Spell Practice Room; I'm going to prepare the Communication Magic Tools."

At times like this, it becomes even more apparent that the Tower of Time is short-handed; many things have to be squeezed in to get done.

In Xia Duo's plan, the sale of Communication Magic Tools wouldn't have happened so quickly. He originally planned to have the Magic Technicians finish the Communication Magic Tools, as that would be the most cost-effective way.

But now, the first batch has to be delivered so soon. He had the heart to give up the delivery the day after tomorrow, but he couldn't bear to part with those advance payments.

So, he had no choice but to step in himself!

He agreed with Niya to let her stay here and continue renovating the Spell Practice Room, while Xia Duo himself went to process that batch of semi-finished products.

As for why he didn't let Niya process the Communication Magic Tools, it was, of course, because Niya had already accumulated quite a bit of experience renovating the Spell Practice Room, while he was a novice who had only been doing it for two days, so his efficiency was not as good as Niya's.

But in terms of the manufacturing efficiency of Communication Magic Tools, Niya was not as good as Xia Duo.

Public Level.

Xia Duo took 14 boxes of semi-finished Communication Magic Tools from the 022 Gongzuojian, 8 pieces per box, for a total of 112 pieces. This was the entire output of the two production lines before Depake achieved Advanced Rank.

Afterward, due to the addition of Junior Magic Technicians to the production lines, in order to reduce the losses caused by those Magic Technicians' practice, Xia Duo had the production lines stop performing pre-sealing.

They only produced "semi-finished products of semi-finished products," so that materials failed during practice could be reused, just with a slight reduction in quality.

Finding a random workshop, Xia Duo began to Link Magic Web for these 112 semi-finished Communication Magic Tools; he had long been more than familiar with this step.

Although 【Magic Net Background Communication】 originated from 【Projection Plane: Arcane Empire】, it was also based on related spells of Magic Web Background Fluctuation, which the Main Plane had long since applied, such as the Tower of Time's timing spell 【Weave Moment】.

In addition, the 2nd Circle simplified version applied to the Communication Magic Tools was also simplified by Xia Duo himself. Even with the addition of 【Permanent Magic】 technology in the middle, in the eyes of Xia Duo, who also mastered this technology, it didn't increase the difficulty at all.

On the contrary, because of the application of 【Permanent Magic】 technology, the manufacturing difficulty was reduced quite a bit compared to before.

This once again increased Xia Duo's completion efficiency. By the time evening approached and Niya called him to have dinner together, he had already finished more than two boxes.

With ten or so boxes left, working a bit late tonight, plus the entire day tomorrow, although it was a bit tight, it wouldn't be hard to finish.

This is the efficiency of a High Mage!

If it were Junior Magic Technicians doing it, even if they were very skilled, their spellcasting limit would still restrict their production limit.

Theoretically, considering only the same 2nd Circle Spell, Xia Duo's daily spellcasting capacity is dozens of times theirs; if it were a Great Arcanist, it might be even more.

This is also the reason why the situation in the Tower of Time changed immediately after Depake achieved Advanced Rank and showed support for Xia Duo.

Nothing else, just because one High Mage's production capacity can equal several Intermediate Mages. A few Intermediate Mages realized they no longer had the trump cards to continue resisting, so they naturally compromised.

This is still looking at it from the past experience of the Tower of Time. Once the new production method of division of labor and cooperation is used, the production capacity of High Mages will be even more significant.

Of course, this relies on the entire Magic Technician system, but the Tower of Time has already begun to build this system, and the role of High Mages will be further enhanced.

The third day, early morning.

The ship from the north, "full" of Elf refugees, set sail from Savile Port. Thanks to the King-Slaying Star anomaly two days ago, these Elf refugees made concessions regarding the fare and their dignity.

Nowadays, there aren't many Elves left in the North District of Savile Town. Of course, there are still a large number of Elf refugees in the supply camp to the east, the former Rodney Territory reclamation camp, and Konnifila City.

Inside the Tower of Time, Xia Duo watched the gradually receding ship through the 【Eye of the Sky】, and in his mind, the hint that Mage Poluokan had given him just now while instructing Saituosi was still echoing—

"Hurry up and contact the Elves; it won't be so easy to deal with them once they return to Keman!"

Perhaps the King-Slaying Star anomaly really was the destruction of the Drow's Magic Core!

Xia Duo guessed secretly. Unfortunately, Teacher Niya never replied, and when he had Aiboke tentatively ask Poluokan, he only received a vague hint.

Inside the Spell Practice Room.

Xia Duo and Niya cooperated tacitly, connecting the Spell Practice Room to the Tower of Time and completing the final "online" step of the renovation project, so that the Spell Practice Room could be managed and controlled through the Tower Spirit.

"This one is renovated, how many more are there?" Xia Duo pulled at his collar and asked Niya.

Several consecutive days of high-intensity work, either processing Communication Magic Tools or renovating Spell Practice Rooms, made him feel a bit irritable.

And Niya seemed to hear the emotion in Xia Duo's words, so she handed him a bottle of Elf Fruit Wine produced by the Tower of Time and replied, "There are 5 more. They should be finished tomorrow or the day after, and Depake will help too!"

"Phew—"

Xia Duo finally breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "What is the growth rate of the Tower of Time's energy reserves now?"

He could ask the Tower Spirit this question, but it was never as fast as asking Niya directly. The essence of the Tower Spirit was directly connected to Niya, so she could know passively without having to ask actively.

Niya thought for a moment, as if recalling some content, but soon, with almost no time wasted, she gave the answer, "It's increasing by about 0.7% every day. If the Arcane Garden weren't increasing production, it would be even higher!"

Although this speed is still very slow, considering that it was already a negative growth when the Arcane Garden was not increasing production, it is already quite good now.

At this rate of growth, even if the energy reserves were completely exhausted, it would be fully replenished in less than half a year.

Of course, it's impossible for the actual situation to be completely exhausted. Before it's exhausted, measures to limit consumption will certainly be taken to ensure a basic reserve level.

"In two days, I plan to go to Seventon."

"Ah? Why?"

Niya didn't understand why Xia Duo suddenly made such a decision. "Didn't the teacher say it's best for you not to leave the Tower of Time for a while? How can you—"
