Sorcery Monarch Part 2

Chapter 226: The Right Fit is the Best

"She cleverly combined them so that both spells trigger simultaneously, creating a 1+1>2 effect."

"Once activated, it can automatically detect targets within a 200-meter radius."

Ralph, familiar with magical tools, inspected the large rod but couldn't understand the runes or mana pathways.

Seeing Ralph's confusion, Matthew pointed to the large detection rod and continued:

"As you can see, the lord's methods are ingenious, and her arcane knowledge is profound. Even I couldn't combine two spells so perfectly."

"So why didn't such an effective detection rod sell?"

Hearing this, Ralph thought carefully while examining the rod.

He frowned slightly, then looked at the smaller detection rod and suddenly realized, exclaiming:

"Is it the cost?"

"The first-tier 'Detection' spell isn't complicated, but the fourth-tier 'Tracking' spell is expensive..."

"The lord's skill allowed her to combine them, but it must have required many rare materials..."

"And while the detection rod is effective, the materials make it far too costly!"

"Adventurers, the main buyers, simply can't afford it!"

Matthew nodded in approval, tapping the detection rod as a pale blue mana structure diagram appeared in the air.

Ralph marveled at Matthew's display, increasingly awed by his lord's capabilities.

This was fantastic news!

Yaya, curiously glancing at the complex spell model, quickly shook her head and happily returned to her roasted chicken.

Eating was most important!

Matthew then explained to Ralph:

"High-quality peachwood costs 2 gold coins on the market."

"Enchanting a first-tier spell costs 1 gold, solidifying it costs another 1 gold."

"Enchanting a fourth-tier spell costs 100 gold, solidifying it costs 150 gold."

"Carving runes costs 3 gold, and the spell's energy consumption costs 5 gold!"

"With a 50% production success rate, this naturally increases the cost."

"The base cost alone is nearly 600 gold coins!"

"Including the creator's investment and a markup for profit, the sale price must be at least 1000 gold coins!"

"And that's not all—recharging the rod costs at least 3 gold each time."

"The fourth-tier spell activation limits it to mid-tier adventurers or higher."

"With all these limitations, it's no wonder the detection rod didn't sell..."

Matthew's detailed analysis made Ralph realize many things.

He now understood the importance of Bay Territory's centralized factory layout.

The lord's emphasis on innovation, streamlining production, and offering high rewards for cost-saving ideas and techniques.

The focus wasn't on expanding production quickly but on cultivating skilled workers.

Matthew patted Ralph's shoulder and confidently picked up the mini detection rod, saying:

"The mini detection rod I modified costs only 2 gold to produce. Even with just one-third the effectiveness of the larger rod, it bridges the price gap by hundreds of times."

"For most adventurers, this is a price they can easily afford!"

"The right product is always the best product!"
