Chapter 407: 2 Mages

After the three of Lorraine Hill went to the beach, they looked around and

soon found Letis and others in the beach restaurant, they were eating cold

drinks on the open-air balcony on the second floor.

Niya waved at the top, and the three people below also responded, and then

walked over here.

"Would you like ice cream?"

Several people turned around the dark walls and stairs, and walked up to the

second floor. They saw Letis speak to them.

The location of this restaurant is excellent. On a hillside overlooking most

of the harbour, the spacious open-air balcony on the second floor is equipped

with umbrellas, small tables, and rectangular wooden flower pots are placed

around it. The inside is long. The low flowers and plants and a few round

poles form a guardrail, which is quite poetic.

"I want to eat~" Lily especially likes sweets, jumped to answer, and walked

over briskly.

After the three of them sat down, a few cups of ice cream decorated with

cherries were served.

Blowing the cozy sea breeze and drinking ice-cold juice, several people began

to talk, telling what they saw today.

"I saw a lot of new things, and some like them very much." Lily said so,

Bumansha and Niya also agreed.

"Of course, this is all a huge change brought about by technological

innovation." Letis said with some pride. As the descendant of the mage born in

Ruerner, he is naturally quite proud of it.

"It's really more comfortable." Alina agreed, but she didn't envy Rulna's new

invention, because the southern islands under the Young Moon Council were also

developing well. Both can be said to have their own merits.

"What do you think of Lorraine?" Bumansha looked at the girl who was quietly

drinking juice.

"Me?" Lorrain Hill had experienced similar things in her previous life, and

naturally she hadn't been greatly affected. She just felt that the current

technology was not developing fast enough.

Rulna or Oz has reached a very high level in its machinery and power

technologies for hundreds of years, but it has not been popularized as quickly

as in the previous life, on the contrary, its progress has slowed down.

She was also thinking about the reasons for this just now, after all, this

world is different from the previous life.

"It feels very good, but why hasn't it been popularized on a large scale? This

is Ubere. Although it is good in all aspects, the other small places are still

the same." Lorrain Hill replied.

"Probably because it can't be used." Niya said with feeling, good things are

always expensive.

"It's a bit expensive, but where is the cost." Letis said with a finger up.

"The purchase of raw materials, refining, processing, etc., all require money

and costs."

"Which links are costly and expensive?" Lorraine asked with interest. She

wanted to know the views of everyone in this world. Just a few of her

companions came from all over the world.

"First of all, it's the material." Letis feels deeper on this point. She

herself comes from the Rulna alchemy faction.

"Metal ores are mined from various countries and then transported. Each time

it changes hands, it needs to pay each time it passes through a noble

checkpoint. In the end, when we buy it from a merchant, the price will hardly

be lowered."

"Manpower is also the reason." Alina said of her own experience. She came from

the Southern Islands, where the population has never been dense.

"Many people want to farm, fish, do chores, and so on. There aren't many

locals who can hire them to work."

"Then let people from other places come." Lily asked simply and directly.

"Foreigners who run so far must give more money, otherwise they might as well

stay at home. Moreover, if the foreigners come, the local food may not be able

to support them, so they have to import food again, so the price will be

higher. Up."

"That's it." Lily was a little sad.

"In general, the profit margin is not big enough." Lorrain Hill thoughtfully.

The high cost of materials and labor makes the profit margin of the product

smaller, and the price is difficult to be cheap, and there are only a small

number of people who can afford it, so the market cannot be expanded.

The market is small and the overall profit ceiling is not high. This has led

to related technologies and products not expanding explosively, but

progressing slowly.

"But it's better at the moment." Lettis said, holding the cup, looking at the

busy port.

"After the merger of Rulner and Wilga, the resources, land, population, and

market have all expanded a bit. It is not as difficult as before."

"If the Frost Rose continues to expand and merge the resources of the entire

Xuehua Seven Kingdoms, it must be able to break through the previous

imprisonment." Alina said with a sigh.

"Without the layered card restrictions imposed by the nobles in various

places, the import price of raw materials can be lowered, and the labor cost

can also be lowered as the population moves." Lorrain Hill added.

"Yeah, that's it, isn't it great?" Letis said heartily.

"But, my favorite thing Alina does is to break your alchemy fantasies." Alina

raised her finger.

"?" Letis looked at Alena a little puzzled.

"Our Chuyue faction is not bad. If we do it, the effect will definitely be

good. I really don't know which side will win in the future." Alina shook her

finger.

"Okay, okay, you two should stop fighting."

Bumansha came out to make a round. Even though Alina and Letis had been

roommates for more than a year, the two were like enemies, and they had always

had different ideas from each other.

After a few people sat on the second floor of the restaurant for a while, and

then returned to their place of residence, Alina and the three also took back

the musical instruments they bought each other.

At the dinner table, the two continued their previous argument.

"It's easy to use alchemy props to cool down, preserve food, or make ice

cream." Letis said of the advantages of the alchemy school.

"This is not difficult. There is a kind of conch in the southern islands.

After improvement, it has a natural inscription pattern. As long as a little

magic spar is added, it can also release air-conditioning. Moreover, it does

not use metal to make it, and it is not easy to break."

"But the output is not high, and the cycle is also long."

"The output is not low~www.mtlnovel.com~ Some islands specialize in

cultivating this kind of conch. As long as a few wizards maintain it, there

are thousands of them in a year. Your production mode requires more metals and

wizards. "Alena retorted.

"The magic locomotive, even the airship, you can't popularize this." Letis

once again tossed out the advantages of her school.

"This, although the vehicle can't work, our special pack animal is more

adaptable to various road conditions and can run everywhere without building

roads." Alina continued.

...

Lorrain Hill listened quietly to the argument between the two, feeling a burst

of novelty, and at the same time slowly clarified the characteristics and

advantages of the two factions.

There is no doubt that the alchemy school has some overlap with the industrial

machinery of the previous life. Heavy industry, large machinery, unified

standards, and production capacity do have an advantage.

However, Chuyue Yipai also has many advantages in biology, pharmaceuticals,

various environments, small and flexible, low material requirements, and so

on.

It would be great if the strengths of the two factions were integrated. It's a

pity that it still looks a little difficult at the moment.
