I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

Chapter 472 Undercurrent
After a whole night of practice and experiments in Paradise, Chen Zhou has roughly understood the most basic effect and usage of the Gale Rune, which is to consume additional magic power as a spell to enhance a spell with "fluid" properties to a certain extent.

The effects of spells such as creating water, creating wind, and lightning beams are steadily improving, and you can even perform subsequent manipulations of such spells when using runes.

It also has an effect on spells that change the physical form such as ice shaping and turning fossils into mud, but not much.

As for conceptual fluids, such as time, spirit, etc., they have no influence at all.

Generally speaking, it is a giant rune that favors the [Conjuration], [Energy] and [Transformation] schools.

After one night, Chen Zhou deepened his understanding of his two magics and became a qualified warlock.

Learning how to manipulate the two elements, water and air, brings joy.

To put it another way, Damali Port is in dire straits.

The economic losses caused by the Mephit Rebellion are far higher than the killings caused by alien creatures from the elemental plane. As the city lord, Marquis Olysia had to face a serious problem - the water djinn had already attacked Tired of the status quo.

Once the enslaved alien creatures lose control before the Industrial Church can achieve results, it will cause tens of thousands or even higher economic losses.

Therefore, late at night when the incident was reported, an industrial priest was invited to express the gratitude of the adventure team for saving the factory, and to ask Pastor Boer for advice.

Nowadays, it is difficult to restart energy plants underground in cities, and the energy stored can only last for a week at most. How can we implement alternatives before the energy storage is exhausted?
The pastor who was once made angry by Chen Zhou gave three strategies:

The next best option is to learn from Nicodranas' rich experience in overturning, and also choose to hire spellcasters such as mages and druids to replace the energy supply.

But let’s not talk about what a crazy plan it is to recruit Schrödinger’s time bomb like the druid. The price of hiring a spellcaster has already reached an unacceptable level.

The best strategy is to invite the dragon turtle Idok, who had previously assisted the carnival pirates, to build a nest under the city to replace the water djinn. The dragon turtle's steam breath is not as powerful as the water djinn.

It is difficult to judge which of the two options is more expensive: hiring a dragon turtle or hiring a spellcaster, but at least the dragon turtle is better because of its gentle temperament, and as long as a reasonable reward is given, it can be mutually beneficial and a win-win situation.

The only problem is that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away, and the steam emitted by the dragon turtle is extremely hot. The existing equipment adapted to the normal temperature steam of the water djinn needs to be improved.

The best strategy is to temporarily open the crack at the junction of the water and air elemental planes, as long as this channel is not lost, so that the energy from the inner realm can continuously flow into the material plane to provide energy.

Clean, harmless, sustainable, truly infinite, excess energy will fall back to the inner realm on its own, making it the perfect energy source.

The problem lies in the creatures from the inner realm. They may not have any intention of attacking the main material plane, but they also exclude outsiders from intruding into the territory. To maintain the rift, someone needs to enter the inner realm to respond.

Therefore, this strategy should be used when the energy storage is exhausted. As long as the energy plant operates at full capacity for one day, enough energy can be regained for one week.

If there is no intention to guard the rift in the first place, the cost of executing the plan will be minimized.

Each of the three options is more economical and more efficient than the other, but the requirements for combat effectiveness are also higher.

The most cost-effective and efficient strategy requires someone to be stationed in the inner realm for a whole day.

Sending a large army in would cause serious diplomatic trouble, meaning they would need a small elite force.

That is what people often call "adventurers"...

……

Early the next morning, Chen Zhou told Donal about the incident.

After a while, adventurers may be recruited for a mission deep into the elemental plane of water.

The latter pondered for a long time and came up with a plan that should help the city obtain energy.

The main purpose is to endorse the Industrial Church. Once they promote the power reform of Damali Port, they will gain great status and voice.

Tomorrow Star Iron's follow-up plans will naturally be smooth sailing.

"Going to the inner realm?" Hearing this, Tuojia's eyes flashed with excitement. He has traveled to most of the deserted continent and has never traveled to other worlds!

"Don't think that just because you are a Turtle, you can thrive in the water elemental plane. As far as I know, Turtles can't breathe in water, right?"

Donal reminded: "And this time we are going to an area slightly closer to the air elemental plane. The temperature may be as cold as the middle of winter."

Toga froze for a moment, then started to have a headache.

Chen Zhou disagreed: "It's not a big problem. Now, let the company find the Industrial Church to customize scrolls that adapt to the aquatic environment and provide resistance to cold energy. If you want to order, just order a few hundred of them first."

"what?"

Dragon Yi was confused. Just because we are acquaintances doesn't mean I have to take care of your business like this?
But after careful consideration, I soon realized Chen Zhou's true intentions.

"I'll go now!"

Then without looking back, he ran to a deserted corner and made a call to the pastor of the Industrial Church who was responsible for connecting with the company.

Toga: "?"

He was a little confused, what did this mean?
Adaptation to the aquatic environment should be level 3 of "breathing water", and "endurance of environmental damage" is level 1.

两种卷轴皆一天一张的情况下要花上1*1*25+3*5*25=400金币，根据情况要花的说不定会更多。

The cost of a team of people is two thousand gold coins a day. What task is so valuable?
Seeing Toga's confused look, Chen Zhou explained with a smile: "Toga, you made a mistake. The price of a one-ring scroll is 1 gold coins, which does not mean that its cost is 1 gold coins."

Taking into account the skills, abilities, consumption, failure rate and other factors of the person who copied the scroll, its cost can be basically regarded as half of the official price of the scroll in Sigil City, which is 12.5 gold coins.

But this does not mean that everyone has to spend so much money to copy "Enduring Environmental Harm".

"What does this have to do with us...?"

Toga still can't understand. He can probably guess that the cost of transcribing scrolls for the Industrial Church is lower than that of ordinary mages, but does this have anything to do with us?

"Let's take the example of a 1-ring scroll. The theoretical cost of transcribing 1 1-ring scroll is 12.5 gold coins. However, the Industrial Church has relevant technology and can spend a certain amount of materials to make the corresponding template. At this time, the cost of transcribing 10 1-ring scrolls may be only 12 gold coins. Requires gold coins each.”

"I see."

Toga muses that the greater the demand and orders, the lower their costs will be.

So the more you buy, the higher the discount, and the more you earn by selling at the original price of 25 gold coins.

“Not only that, we can also jointly control the price and let the Industrial Church slow down the output after this batch of scrolls to achieve the purpose of raising prices through hungry marketing.

"Since "Endure Environmental Damage" and "Water Breathing" are not particularly commonly used, it is difficult to mobilize a large number of similar scrolls in a short time, and the city's energy cannot last that long, so it must be done quickly. "

Although a level 3 mage can spend time learning "Water Breathing" by buying one, from now on, he can make a group of people ignore the interference of water by preparing spells.

But the problem lies in time.

Therefore, a large number of people will rush to buy the relevant scrolls in a short period of time, and as long as the timing is right, they can make a lot of money.

"It's so dark."

"No matter what, we can make a profit even with a 10% discount on this matter. In the end, the adventurers will have to thank us."

You have no idea how valuable the opportunity to do things for the Marquis and get attached to him is!
