Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1132
in the conference room.

The negotiations between the Tower of Time and the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce on the new purchase agreement went very smoothly. From morning to noon, a new agreement involving tens of millions of gold coins was negotiated in just half a day.

According to the agreement, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will sell various magic materials to the Tower of Time at a price 7% higher than the market price on the day the agreement was signed.

The Tower of Time needs to guarantee that from the signing date of the agreement, it will purchase magic materials worth 100 million gold coins from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce every year for five years.

At first glance, this agreement is very unfavorable to the Tower of Time, especially the purchase price is nearly one-tenth higher than the market, which is simply intolerable.

But in fact, the Tower of Time took advantage of this agreement.

First of all, there are very few sellers of bulk magic materials, and it is completely a seller's market. If you encounter someone with a bad heart, let alone 10%, it is not uncommon for them to be twice as high.

Secondly, the current price of communication instruments based on magic net background communication has begun to continue to drop, and the prices of other magic items will also continue to drop due to this.

But this is just an appearance. In essence, the price war for magic items is about to start, the manufacturing technology will be upgraded rapidly, and the demand for magic materials will continue to rise.

Looking at it this way, purchasing only 7% higher than the market price on the day the agreement was signed is completely the Tower of Time taking advantage of it.

Of course, if the Tower of Time hadn't continuously launched new products to suppress the price of magic items and forced other mage tower organizations to upgrade their manufacturing technology, the price of magic materials might not increase much in the next five years.

And if there is no large-scale shipment, it will be difficult to achieve the annual purchase of 100 million gold coins.

This is actually a series of links, and technological upgrading itself means innovation and prosperity. It can be said that since the signing of this agreement, Xia Duo has already sounded the clarion call of the new era.

The future must be an era of great innovation, great development, and great prosperity!
……

Of course, the new agreement is not just a five-year procurement agreement, but also includes the joint confirmation of the strategic cooperation between the two parties by the Tower of Time and Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.

It involves promotion of new coins, consignment sales of magic items, co-advancement and retreat on certain issues of the Arcane Federation, and even joint operations under certain special circumstances.

Involved in a wide range, almost all aspects can be said.

The only regret is that this agreement is not signed in the form of a sacred contract, that is to say, there is a possibility of breach of contract.

Of course, with Xia Duo and Jenna's current identities, such an agreement would not require a sacred contract to be signed.

……

At noon, Xia Duo invited Sai De to have a meal in the territory. When the two walked out of the Tower of Time, the code square on the west side was almost completed under the condition that the working teams of the Daxia Territory Development Department worked overtime.

Now there is only a small half of the ground that has not been paved with bricks. If it is fast, it may be completed tomorrow, but the Codex sculpture has been moved here before Xia Duo went to the watchtower a few days ago.

At this moment, Seid's eyes were attracted by the nearly ten-meter-high Codex sculpture, and he even stopped subconsciously.

"Lord Xiaduo, that's—" Seid's voice was obviously ups and downs, both surprised and curious.

Of course, Xia Duo knew that it was because of the "pseudo-nine-ring aura" of the Codex sculpture. Apart from this, the Codex sculpture was just a slightly larger sculpture in the eyes of a senior arcanist.

"Consultant Said, this is the Law Code Square of the Great Xia Territory, and that sculpture is naturally the 'Great Xia Law Code'! Let's go and have a look!"

"it is good!"

The luncheon at the lord's villa was ready, but he didn't care about the delay, Xia Duo accompanied Said to the Codex sculpture on foot.

The distance from the Tower of Time to the Codex sculpture is only [-] meters. During this journey, Xia Duo can just introduce the legal system of the Great Xia to Seid, but when he got to the foot of the Codex, he stopped talking and let Seid observe.

Of course, this can also be regarded as Xia Duo's small test for Saide, a strategic partner.

"So that's the case!" Seid suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.

He turned around and glanced at Xia Duo, and Xia Duo returned a polite smile. He knew that Seid must have seen the details of the "false aura".

This means that Seid, like him, is also a senior arcanist who has come into contact with the ninth layer of the magic net.

In the same way, through this statue, Seid can clearly know that Xia Duo is not a senior arcanist who only has access to the eighth layer of the magic net.

The two didn't discuss anything about the "false aura". At this moment, Seid's attention was firmly attracted by the text of the code on the pedestal of the code sculpture.

But after watching it for a while, Seide stopped, turned around and looked at Xia Duo expectantly, and asked, "Lord Xia Duo, can I record the above content?"

"Of course!" Xia Duo replied affirmatively.

In fact, he can't wait to spread the Great Xia Code everywhere, which is conducive to the development of order. Of course, what he hopes most is-the implementation of the Great Xia Code everywhere.

In the words of the ancients in my hometown, this is "promoting kingship".

……

On the other side, with Xia Duo's permission, Seid immediately took out a solid-color crystal ball, and then cast a spell to record the video, while Xia Duo watched quietly.

Observing the spellcasting process of a senior arcanist nearby is not always possible. By observing Said, Xia Duo also realized the gap between himself and the veteran senior arcanist in spellcasting skills.

Although this gap is not enough to put him at a complete disadvantage in spell confrontation, it also means that there is room for improvement.

He upgraded too fast. In terms of spellcasting skills, not to mention compared with senior arcanists like Seid, even many high-level mages may be better than him.

Before the birth of smart spell-casting props, spell-casting skills always played a large role in spell confrontation.

"It seems that we still need to spend more time on spell practice in the future!"

……

Soon, Said finished recording the provisions of the code. He put away the crystal ball, thanked Xia Duo solemnly, and said: "It is really the right time to come to the southern border this time! The president will definitely know the Great Xia code when he sees it." Very happy!"

"It's a great honor for the Great Xia Law Code to be affirmed by Saide's advisor and President Jenna, and I hope that the next Daxia delicacy will also be affirmed by Saide's advisor!"

"After reading the Daxia Law Code, I am looking forward to Daxia cuisine even more!"

"Please!"

……

Although the two were delayed by the sculpture for a while, they arrived at the lord's villa earlier than originally planned because they flew over.

After being seated, Xia Duo immediately ordered the banquet to begin.

As a series of Daxia delicacies with full color, fragrance and taste were delivered to Seide, Seide's eyes were a little straight. He followed Xia Duo's example and used chopsticks to pinch them lamely.

Perhaps it was the motivation inspired by the delicious food. After a few tries, Seide was able to skillfully use the chopsticks to pick up the food he wanted.

"Lord Xia Duo, the tableware design with two small sticks is quite ingenious, and it matches the delicacy of Daxia's delicacies very well!"

"This is chopsticks, the most common tableware in my hometown!"
