Geographically, the Basque region was only separated from the Sijia region in the southwest peninsula by the Doomsday Mountains. Caravans from the other end of the mountains would enter this traditional area from time to time in order to purchase some magic materials that were not produced in the southwest peninsula but were indispensable to mages.
So how could the revolutionary new magic of the browser not be known? Unfortunately, the market for browser magic stones in the southwest peninsula was still not saturated. Browser magic stones that could cross the Doomsday Mountains were mostly used by the caravan members themselves. To be able to obtain it from them, not only did they have to have enough power, but they also had to have a good relationship.
This also created a dilemma of wanting to popularize the browser in the Basque region despite knowing that it was a good thing. Someone once suggested that the Basque region branch should start selling this magic knowledge without worrying too much, but the higher-ups of the branch didn't dare to open their mouths.
Respecting the achievements of every mage was one of the important factors that allowed the loose organization of the Society of Sorcerers to be maintained. Perhaps there would be some shady operations, but to sell magic knowledge, the most basic requirement was that the creator who was still alive nodded his head in agreement.
Browser magic was a good thing, but those who owned a browser magic stone in the Basque region had no real benefits other than showing off. This was because all the valuable information on the forum belonged to the southwest peninsula and had nothing to do with the Basque region. Even if they wanted to use the mall, no caravan was willing to cross the Doomsday Mountains to do business.
In order to make the browser valuable in the Basque region, it had to be popularized, at least more than it was now. But without the consent of the creator, perhaps some tower owners dared to copy the browser magic stone for their close friends to use, but they didn't dare to sell it on a large scale, at least not on a large scale.
This was because the huge benefits of selling the browser had already been exposed on the forum, and the branch headquarters hadn't done so yet. If the tower owners dared to reach out, they would definitely break their arms and legs.
It wasn't that no one operated like magic in the past, making some small changes and putting their own name on it to sell as a new thing. But … who could change it?
Perhaps now that the P language was made public, the browser's program code was no longer incomprehensible to those who wanted to. But to change the framework, in the end, it still had to be connected to the public forum. No one could change this part, and it was difficult to convince the higher-ups of the branch that what they had designed was new.
A new forum server was more like a joke. If no one used it, it had no value. And if the people who wanted to use it in the Basque region were looking for information that didn't involve the region, what could compare to a forum that had already taken shape.
This was also the reason why Mage Evers, as the president, instructed his people to pay attention to the creator's whereabouts. to to to to to to find out the creator's whereto do so..
Mage Eversky and the others had already figured out the reason why the forum was valuable, so they didn't have to worry about Mage Cuipwood disagreeing. That was the number of users.
The forum would only have value when it reached a certain scale. The only possible disagreement was how to distribute the benefits.
It didn't matter if the other party was willing to stay in the Basque region and take a share of the profits, or take a considerable amount of money and continue on his own journey; or even if the most extreme method was to turn the creator from living to dead, the relevant magical knowledge would become a problem between the branches of each region. There were many underhanded methods to make a mage agree to sell the magic knowledge related to the browser to the Basque region.
It was just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. In the blink of an eye, he was forced to hand over a large amount of expensive magic materials to solve the problem of life and death facing Mountain Edge City. And listening to the words of this demon king, it seemed that he was going to give it away for free.
Being coerced and forced to accept such conditions, no matter which side was at fault in the first place, Evers couldn't explain it to others, and he couldn't take it lying down. After all, he was the one who suffered losses. He didn't want to see this loss expand a second time or a third time.
But since this was a negotiation, and the other party's attitude wasn't so tough that they couldn't talk, then it was reasonable to put forward his own request. Of course, whether he accepted it or not was secondary. It was natural for both sides to argue with each other.
Although the keyword "browser" was mentioned, a certain someone was immersed in a mathematical problem in the field of vision of his glasses and was in a dilemma. Everyone saw that he didn't react for a long time, but no one dared to disturb or even threaten him at this time. Who knew if there would be a backlash, and everything that could be discussed would become impossible to discuss. But Fen unceremoniously slapped the back of a certain someone's head.
"What's going on? Did they start fighting? "
"Fight your head. Oh, they did hit your head. They proposed to exchange your knowledge of the browser. What do you think? "
Rubbing the back of his head, Lin asked, "What do they want in exchange?"
"The things on that list, the list for making containers."
When Fen mentioned this, Lin remembered the list he had seen before. She let out an exaggerated 'wow' and said, "It's that list of things that I recognize are all very expensive. Just looking at it makes me dizzy. Just exchange the knowledge of the browser? Is there anything else you want? "
"Also, they want me to come out and clean up the mess for them." Fen pointed in the direction of the mountain fortress and said so.
"If they agree to exchange like this, then let's do it. At first, I was worried that we didn't have enough money to buy all the things on that list. If there are other solutions, I have no objections. "
Someone seemed to have just come back to his senses and agreed to these conditions in one breath, which made Mage Avers somewhat regretful. Listening to what he said, it seemed that his asking price was too low. But at this time, if he were to change his words and propose more favorable conditions, it would be inappropriate. There was no need to consider whether such behavior would anger the two on the other side.
Both sides had reached a consensus, and the rest was the details. Of course, this was not like the treaties between other nobles or countries, where every sentence or word was haggled over. Avers only hoped that the two on the other side would fill in the identity registration of mages in the Basque region and submit the documents of magical knowledge. These were all standard documents, and there was no need to worry about text loopholes for people to use.
By doing this, not only would the Basque region be able to publicly spread the knowledge of the browser, but it would also be justified. Avers also wanted to guide the other party to be willing to submit more magical knowledge in the process. The browser wasn't the only thing that was valuable to these two. Of course, the price of that part was another discussion.
As for the items on the list, after discussing a few unclear names, according to His Majesty the Demon King's description, it was confirmed that they might be something in this era. Avers ordered his men to start and actively search for them. After all, it was a matter of life and death for Mountain Edge City.
Considering that the XX (20th) floor of the Chamber of Commerce had already fallen, it was impossible to enter the main warehouse of the Chamber of Commerce. It was also uncertain how many things could be maintained under the influence of the fog. Avers and the other higher-ups began to search directly from the treasury of the branch, as well as the private collections of the higher-ups.
With them as an example, the collections of the other mages in Mountain Edge City naturally could not escape this wave of plundering. Fortunately, the president promised that all the collected items would be written on an IOU and would be returned in the future.
All the mages living in Mountain Edge City had a high awareness. However, it was impossible for them to open their own collections and let others count their assets. But as long as it was on the list, they would definitely take it out. Because no one could guarantee that the disaster on the XX floor would not continue to expand. And the monster that rushed out of the fog proved how difficult it was to deal with. No one wanted the situation to become more dangerous.
It only took a little more than a day to gather all the items and gather them in an alchemy workshop outside the city. From this, it could be seen that the mages of the Basque region had a strong foundation.
Because it was a matter of putting out a fire, after the magic materials were gathered, Mage Avers immediately invited the Lich, who was drinking tea and enjoying the shade, to make the special container.
Fen did not forbid anyone from watching, but only called for people close to him to help.
In fact, long before the magic materials on the list were gathered, there were already sounds of people making the special container themselves in the Basque region. Mage Avers asked the people who made the noise very rudely, "What do you want to do?" Then everyone was speechless.
Whether it was because they were not willing to pay such a huge price, or because they wanted to increase their knowledge, there were quite a few mages who came to this alchemy workshop, hoping to see the process of making the container. Of course, there were even more people who did not want to have their belongings stolen and run away. If such a thing really happened, then they would become the laughing stock of the future generations.
But there were too many people with all kinds of thoughts, and the workshop could not accommodate so many people, not to mention there was enough space for the maker. So in the end, those who were able to watch were the higher-ups of the Basque region's branch. The rest of the people surrounded the alchemy workshop in three circles on the inside and three on the outside.
Because it was not a performance or teaching, Fen did not have the obligation to explain his every move. But just the preparation alone was enough to make a bunch of experienced mages unable to understand.
She lit up a metallurgical furnace, which would be used when making metal materials, so it was quite normal.
The blonde girl took out a set of carving knives, chisels, and hammers, which would come in handy when enchanting and carving runes and magic arrays, so there was nothing wrong with it.
The black-haired, brown-skinned girl took out a stone box and spread out a piece of animal skin with a magic circle drawn on it. She even put eight magic stones in eight different directions … What was she trying to do?
Fen used a water mirror to unfold a drawing on the screen. She pushed the water mirror in front of Lin and asked, "Can you understand this?"
"Yes, I can't." Someone admitted helplessly. A bunch of lines overlapped each other, and even the words were overlapping and jumbled. There was no sentence at all, so it would be strange if he could understand it.
"Are you a pig?! Open it up and see. "
"Oh. If you want to open it up, you should have said so earlier. " As if holding a mirror, Lin suddenly folded it and spread it out with both hands. The flat drawing instantly outlined countless lines in the air. This was an application of the Blank Slate Technique, which created a three-dimensional perspective of an explosion in the air. One by one, the parts turned into independent parts and floated in their corresponding positions.
At this time, as long as one gently moved the hand, the drawing would rotate; if one reached out and picked up any part, that part would be separated from the whole, just like in some sci-fi movies. Not to mention the mages who were watching on the side were stunned, Lin himself was also deeply moved. What the reality of the 21st century could not do, the magic of the Land of Enchantment had done. This was really not scientific at all.
