Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1730 Exclusion of Suspect New Patent Act
Thinking of this, Iolum put away the bones of the leap beast, and said to Xia Duo: "I agree with this matter, but if you want to persuade the Seven Towers to follow up, you need to give them some information about the channeling crystal. Do you want to?"

"I have no objection. I hope to see the breeding farm built as soon as possible. In addition, if they make any progress in researching the bones of the jumping beast, I hope to know at the same time."

Although Xia Duo is more inclined to build a breeding farm by himself, or let Iolum come forward to be built by the Austrian Federation, but the breeding farm is built in the ether overlapping area after all, and this matter cannot be bypassed at all.

Rather than all kinds of wrangling and rift afterwards, it is better to talk about it now. Judging from the current situation, it is more valuable for him and Qita to cooperate for a long time.

But when he thought of the Verdant Tower Alliance in the south, Xia Duo suddenly cast a shadow in his heart. This time, Iolum was also there, and he couldn't help asking:
"What does the teacher think of the Verdant Tower Alliance? Is it possible that Cross is behind the Seven Towers?"

"Why do you think so?"

Iolum gave Xiaduo a weird look, and then said: "I have also seen the recent changes in the Verdant Tower Alliance. It is absolutely impossible that it was instigated by the Seven Towers. There is no secret in this world that can be kept hidden forever. Behind Cross is the Seven Towers, and the interior of the Seven Towers may soon fall apart."

"That is to say, this possibility cannot be ruled out yet?" Xia Duo asked rhetorically.

"I understand what you want to say, but what I want to tell you is that the foundation of Netheril's existence is the Severton Covenant. As long as there are no extreme circumstances, it is impossible for the Seven Towers to voluntarily abandon the covenant. benefit."

After finishing speaking, Iolum added, "You have to know that the Seven Towers are not just seven forces, but seven hills composed of many forces! Even if they really want to take the road of centralization, they will only start from the Seven Towers." It starts from the inside, not the outside, let alone the Green Tower, in fact, from the moment Her Royal Highness successfully ascended to the gods, the road to centralization of the Seven Towers was completely blocked."

With the incident of Iolum, Xia Duo realized that he seemed to have ignored the influence of the princess before. To a certain extent, the princess is the embodiment of the Severton Covenant. As long as the princess does not fall, the covenant will naturally not fall .

It is naturally impossible for the Seven Towers to talk nonsense. Taking a step back, even if the Verdant Tower Alliance is some kind of attempt by the Seven Towers, they will never dare to admit it publicly, let alone get involved, and even try their best to put aside the relationship.

"Since that's the case, I can rest assured about some things."

"What are you worrying about? Cross provoked you?" Iolum asked curiously.

"It's not an offense to me, it's just some commercial disputes. The Green Tower imitated the Tower of Time's communication magic weapon in the south. If it wasn't ordered by the Seven Towers, I think Cross should have something to say!"

"Imitate the communication instrument?"

Iolum seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly frowned, "Although the background communication spell of the magic net is the patent of Gilles Tower, Cross is obviously authorized. If it is just an imitation of the communication magic weapon, strictly speaking Said, neither you nor Gilles Tower has the right to pursue it, if this kind of matter is investigated deeply, anyone can find stains on them."

"Then it can only be resolved privately in the name of personal grievances?" Xia Duo also frowned.

"I don't suggest you settle it in private either."

"Then am I going to let him take advantage of it?"

In fact, because of this incident, Xia Duo has repeatedly postponed the release plan of the second-generation communication magic weapon that has already been mass-produced. If it cannot be resolved properly, even if the second-generation communication magic weapon is released, it will only be cheaper for Cross’s verdant land. Tower Alliance.

In particular, for the convenience of ordinary individual users, the second-generation communication instrument did not actually set up too complicated encryption measures.

Xia Duo can tolerate imitation by individual users for the purpose of learning or research, and it will not affect the sales of communication instruments anyway, but large-scale imitation and sales in the name of an organization are too disgusting.

In the final analysis, Netheril does not have a relatively complete patent law, and there are too few restrictions on grand arcanists.

Let’s talk about Xia Duo himself, as long as no other great arcanists stand up and clearly oppose him, he can basically do whatever he wants!
Even if there are other great arcanists who stand up and clearly oppose it, then he can form a faction and continue to struggle. As long as he does not cause public anger, it is basically not difficult to pass the test.

This time, Cross was imitating the communication artifact of the Tower of Time. If it was imitated by the Seven Towers, Xia Duo would not even have the idea of ​​​​countering it.

Even Cross, Xiaduo has not figured out how to deal with it because of the possible existence of the seven towers behind it.

Even if it is now known that there is a high probability that there is no Seven Towers behind Cross, Iolum also said that it can only be resolved privately in the name of personal grievances, and he does not recommend private resolution.

"Teacher, what should I do now? Don't do anything?"

"Of course not!" Iolum's eyes showed a firm light, "Although this matter is very difficult, it may not be a rare opportunity!"

"what chance?"

"An opportunity to revolutionize the existing patent system!"

As soon as this remark came out, Xia Duo also immediately realized that he could not pursue Cross now, as long as there is no relevant consensus so that everyone (has to) support his pursuit.

At this stage, Netheril's patent system only guarantees registered spell patents, but not others, including unregistered spells, and all magic item designs.

In fact, magic item designs cannot be patented at all, only new unregistered spells can be patented.

This also leads to the fact that -

Although imitation does violate the interests of one party, it is only a private interest, so it can only be dealt with in the form of personal grievances.

If the imitator is powerful and well-connected, the imitated party will be powerless to stop it, let alone make the other party pay the price.

However, if the scope of the patent is expanded to include the design of magic items, then the imitator will not only infringe on the private interests of the imitated party, but also the collective order maintained by all grand arcanists.

This is what is commonly referred to as "committing public anger".

But the premise is that it really violates a certain resolution reached by all the great arcanists, such as mass production of undead creatures, it will be recognized as a necromancer, and everyone can be punished.

And a specific resolution does not require all the grand arcanists to agree, it only needs to be under the general framework of "collective order", and the minority must obey the majority.

Because the collective order safeguards the common interests of all archarcanists and even all Nether mages, it is not limited to the interests referred to by a specific resolution.

That is to say, unless Cross opposes all common interests and becomes the public enemy of all, he will not be able to fight against the new patent law at all.

But the premise is that most of the archanists can really be persuaded to support the new patent law.

"The teacher means—"
