Chapter 916: New Dimensional Bag Project, Elf Trends (Part 1)
The wood in the Personal Space filled three whole storerooms, and after finishing all this, Xia Duo reminded Saixili once again:
"Do not reveal the secret of the Paper-making Technique at will! Also, remember to remind me before this wood is used up; I will go and transport more. When the time is ripe in the future, I will move the paper-making workshop outside the Tower of Time, so it won't be as troublesome as it is now."
It was indeed somewhat extravagant for an Arcanist to act as a porter, but apart from him, there was no one else for the time being who could transport so much wood at once.
Perhaps he could manufacture a batch of Dimensional Bags linked to the Yellow Sand Semi-Plane; this way, remote storage could be realized, and transporting a bit of wood would be even less of an issue.
However, there was a problem with this: the distance between the Yellow Sand Semi-Plane and the Main Plane was not exactly close, at least not to the degree where they could overlap and collect items at will.
A Portal had to be used to connect them, and the throughput of a Portal in a short period was very limited, so it could hardly be called convenient.
At least for low-value items like wood, this was indeed the case.
Besides that, there was the use of the Personal Space, but Xia Duo himself did not have much understanding of the Personal Space, so how could he find a way for others to use it!
As for ordinary Dimensional Bags, Xia Duo hadn't even considered them; ordinary Dimensional Bags had limited capacity, and perhaps one would break the Dimensional Bag before even moving the amount he could move in one go with his Personal Space.
The capacity was not large, and at the same time, there was a risk of losing valuable items; thinking about it, it was truly tasteless!
But it was precisely this thought that made Xia Duo think of a way to get rich again; the profit might even be higher than that of the Communication Magic Tool!
That was the Dimensional Bag!
A brand-new type of Dimensional Bag, excluding the interference of the manufacturer, allowing the buyer to use it with peace of mind, nearly absolutely safe!
This was actually a matter of shifting one's mindset; if purchasing a finished Dimensional Bag might have risks, what if it were a semi-finished product?
Let the buyer complete the final step—
Opening a small Dimension Space in the Ether Plane and linking it to the Dimensional Bag body.
This was theoretically completely feasible. Xia Duo suddenly slapped his own head; why hadn't he thought of this before!
However, even if he had thought of it before, it would have been difficult to implement. One reason was a lack of time, and the other was that the Spell required to manufacture a Dimensional Bag was as high as 5th Ring; one shouldn't even think about it before achieving Advanced Rank.
In addition, there was a hidden condition, which was that one must have some understanding of knowledge related to the Plane, including Spells, so that there could be a foundation for inspiration to be born.
Asking someone who knows nothing about programming languages to write code, even if they might have mastered the principles of some powerful algorithm, is still very difficult to actually apply.
At present, Xia Duo's work on Ascending Ring for common Spells was almost finished, and next, he had long decided to focus his main energy on research in the Plane Domain, so as to better utilize the Personal Space.
The Dimensional Bag naturally also belonged to products related to the Plane Domain; this way, combining theory with Application, with input commensurate with output, could be said to be the most perfect research method.
During this period, he could also continue to conduct Ascending Ring research, moving toward becoming a Senior Arcanist, but this did not need to be handled as his main profession; spare time would be enough, and it would not affect the upgrade progress.
……
A series of changes were quietly taking place in Nan Jing.
At the same time, far away in Seventon, inside the Study of the Nether Palace, Greta was showing Princess Xiya the footage of Daxia Territory she had recorded during her previous trip to Nan Jing.
While showing it, she also provided introductions, interspersed with her own insights and some of Xia Duo's original words, restoring a relatively Reality status of Daxia Territory from multiple angles.
"Your Highness, that is the situation."
"Mm, I know, you may leave!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After Greta left, Princess Xiya's figure distorted for a moment, and then she disappeared completely.
And at the same moment, inside a secret room in the Nether Palace, Xiya said calmly to the six Projection figures in front of her: "Did you hear? He is indeed an excellent Pioneer! And also a qualified lord!"
"We heard, he is indeed much more excellent than others, but you—are you ready?" one figure then spoke.
"Of course!" Xiya said with incomparable firmness.
As soon as the words fell, the other figures emitted bursts of whispering sounds, but the sounds gradually faded away, as if they had already left.
Xiya did not take it to heart when she saw this, walking straight to the altar in the center of the secret room, gazing at the familiar face of the Statue.
A moment later, Xiya sighed softly, and then a series of clear and melodious Elf incantations were spoken from her mouth, and the Magic Net within the secret room also underwent slight changes accordingly.
……
And on the other side, in the Seventon embassy district, inside the Cormanthor Embassy, Cormanthor Ambassador Atelan was staring solemnly at a set of Glazed Wind Chime hanging by the window.
Ordinary wind chimes would naturally not be treated like this by an ambassador, but if it were a Communication Magic Tool connecting to the motherland in the rear, that would be different.
Recently, Atelan sensed that the atmosphere in Seventon was somewhat abnormal; this abnormality could even make him feel a strange sense of crisis. He dared not have any delay and immediately contacted the rear to report his speculations.
And what he was waiting for now was a personal meeting with Crown King Yilisaier; even if it were only a remote meeting via Magic, that was still a quite honorable thing.
"Jingle—"
The wind chime moved without wind. Atelan's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately realized something. He straightened his already very neat attire, and rubbed his cheeks and corners of his mouth, squeezing out a smile that was not lacking in solemnity.
After finishing all this, he activated the Communication Magic Tool. In an instant, a stream of light flew out from the wind chime, rotated once in the Study, and turned into a light screen, rapidly infecting the surrounding space into another appearance.
Atelan had long anticipated this. He stepped forward without haste, knelt on one knee before the dais, stroked his chest with one hand, and respectfully chanted:
"Humble as I am, your loyal follower Atelan, greets the great Majesty Yilisaier, the creator of Cormanthor, the successor of Aryvandaar, may the wind of revival blow across the entire Faerûn land!"
Atelan's behavior was not only due to the power Suppression of superiors, but also the strength Suppression of a High Mage, and even more so the majesty Suppression of Yilisaier creating the Cormanthor Kingdom and ruling for nearly a thousand years thereafter.
Atelan had grown up listening to the stories of the Crown King since he was a child, and it was not even his first time seeing the Crown King (there were public celebrations where one could see him), but it was his first time being received by the Crown King.
At this moment, Atelan's mood was far beyond what the calmness on his face could contain.
"Rise, tell me about the situation you reported earlier!"
The Crown King's voice was very calm, not showing a trace of majesty, but heard in Atelan's ears, it seemed to be high in the clouds, ethereal and unreachable.
However, this voice also calmed his excited mood, just like a clear spring injected into his heart, making him become exceptionally calm.
Thus, he rose and answered steadily—
