Arcane Lord

"Wow!"

　　 Both the official mage and the apprentice cheered in the workshop. Although it was only a weekly performance doubling and a reward of 50 gold coins per person, it meant that Xia Duo was affirmed that they worked day and night these days.

　　 After promising to reward, Xia Duo brought the topic to trial production. He overturned the crystal ball in his hand and asked everyone: "Since there are already qualified products, what is the current yield rate?"

　　 As soon as he spoke, the otherwise lively work room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere was a little tense. Tilak opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say, so he desperately winked at Dean.

　　 Dean was also winking at other people. How could these people's small movements be hidden from Xia Duo, but he had already prepared for the trial production situation.

　　 He even prepared for the failure of trial production a long time ago. Now that qualified products appear, it is considered a success. As for the yield rate, it will be improved gradually in the future.

He just asked casually. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little tense, Xia Duo comforted everyone, "You can find out the process flow clearly in such a short time, and you have also produced a qualified product. I It's already very surprising. No matter how low the yield rate is, I won't blame you, but now you at least have to give me a bottom line!"

　　When it comes to this, Tilak, Dean and others are a little embarrassed. They exchanged glances, and finally Dean, who is closest to Chateau, explained:

"We started the trial production research three days ago, and now we have completed the first qualified product. During this period, we have failed countless times. However, because the Mithril and some five-color gemstones can be reused, the real consumption is the depreciation and packaging of the alchemy array. The crystal used and the crystal softener are converted into a yield rate of about one tenth."

　　 After finishing speaking, Dean hurriedly added, "But now the process has been determined. As long as the proficiency is increased, the final yield rate will definitely remain above 90%."

　　 "What is the cost of producing a qualified communication in the end?" Xia Duo asked again.

　　 "Only calculate based on the current process flow and the yield rate of over 90%"

　　Speaking of this, Dean glanced at the apprentices and mages on the production line, "If labor costs are not included, the cost is very close to the price of the material itself."

　　 Saying that, Xia Duo understood immediately, and it was also his original expectation.

　　 The emergence of the production line incorporated apprentices into the production process, greatly reducing the work of the official mage, and the work of the official mage was the bulk of the price of magic items in the past.

　　 is more serious, even accounting for more than two-thirds. Of course, the practice of doubling and doubling some black-hearted masters is not counted in it, it is just normal market conditions.

　　 And now, a single magic item needs to pay less money to the official wizard, and the cost has been greatly reduced, plus the low-cost advantage of the eternal magic technology itself.

　　It is foreseeable that as long as Xia Duo is willing, these communication instruments can be sold at the price of "cabbage".

　　 "Very good!"

　　 Xia Duo praised again, then looked at the production line with a dozen people including the official mage, and asked Tilak, "How many people are needed for a complete production line? How many apprentices and mage?"

　　 The answer to this question already existed in Tilak’s mind, just waiting for Chateau to ask, “At present, we divide the entire production process into 19 processes. The optimal configuration requires 17 apprentices and 3 formal masters.”

　　 Xia Duo nodded, "I will ask Mayor Thayne to send people over as soon as possible. Before that, you will improve the production process and sort out the production manual. When someone arrives, you will immediately arrange for training!"

"Got it!"

　　 Next, Chateau asked Tillak to arrange a relatively complete production process. After watching it, he left the 021 workshop, which was destined to be remembered by at least the history of the Tower of Time.

After 　　, Xia Duo still did not return to his residence. He had just watched the trial production process, where he could sit still, and he wanted to start the operation immediately.

　　 Passed through the portal and came to Savile, and Xia Duo rushed to the town hall.

　　 The “cloud and fog special effects” attached to the cloud driving fog attracted the attention and discussion of many guard soldiers, but Xia Duo’s thoughts were

Not at all above this, he was thinking about how the old apprentices had not been recruited yet.

It's just that Xia Duo went around in the town hall. Except for a few clerks, he didn't find Thain's shadow. Since he had to continue to process the spell book for a while, Chateau did not waste spells on Thain, but found the town hall. The guard soldier asked:

　　 "Sam, do you know where Mayor Thain has gone?"

"My lord, Mayor Thayn has gone to the barracks." Guard Sam answered honestly, while another soldier beside him looked at him with envy, occasionally glancing at Xia Duo, and then showing awe. .

　　 Xia Duo ignored the small movements of an ordinary soldier. He approached Sam purely because he only knew Sam among the soldiers at the door and knew the other's name.

　　 Knowing the whereabouts of Thain, Xia Duo was about to leave, and suddenly thought of a question, so he asked, "Did the Mayor of Thain gather anyone recently?"

"No."

　　 "That's it!"

　　 Xia Duo stopped asking, he knew it after seeing Thain anyway, so he flew in the direction of the barracks again, and behind him came the triumphant voice of Sam, who had just been honest.

　　 "Do you know? I knew Xia Duo when he was an apprentice, and he was then"

　　 As the distance goes away, the sound gradually disappears, becoming the background noise of the environment, and Xia Duo couldn't help laughing when thinking of the short segment he had just heard.

He did know that Sam very early, but the situation was almost the same as today. He just said a few words. It is only now that his identity has changed and he has become a ostentatious talk of others ~ www.ltnovel.com~ and reached the top of the barracks. , Xia Duo didn't care about the ordinary soldiers who were suddenly alert and quickly relaxed. His eyes were already attracted by the two of Thain and Keyan who were pulling in front of a barracks.

　　 What are you doing?

　　 With a hint of doubt, Xia Duo fell directly in front of the barracks. The soldier's slight movements just now obviously failed to attract the attention of the two men. Until Xia Duo fell, the two men suddenly separated.

　　 "Master Xia Duo, why are you here yourself!" Saien said in surprise.

　　 Ke Yaen on the side had a subtle expression, did not dare to face Xia Duo, but glared at Thain, seeming to regret not beating him just now.

　　 But there are still some courtesies that should be given. After inviting Xia Duo into the house, Ke Yaen carefully asked Xia Duo's intentions, "My lord, what do you want?"

　　 "Don't be nervous, I just wanted to ask Mayor Thain, when will the people I want be gathered."

　　 However, before Thain could speak, Ke Yaen exclaimed, "Ah, the person that Thain is looking for is really what you want?"

　　 The expression is too exaggerated! Bad acting!

Xia Duo gave an evaluation silently in his heart, but he was really unaware of Ke Yan, "I don't know how Thain told you, but I do need a group of old apprentices from the Tower of Time in recent years. What's the situation now?"

　　 At the last sentence, Xia Duo turned his gaze to Mayor Thanh.
