Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1254 Profit Conditions
For this answer, Xia Duo was a little surprised, but it was also reasonable. Now that the big backer is back, he can be bolder when cooperating with others.

After all, the foundry fee of the Tower of Time is much cheaper than that of other high-level mages, and the more orders you place, the more you earn.

However, Xia Duo rejected this new order that would also make the Tower of Time profitable, not because of anything else, but just worried about whether the Tower of Time could be delivered in time.

You must know that the design blueprint of the Demon Slayer Talisman is still in his portable space!He hasn't even started mass-production design, and the 100 pieces of the previous order are only the amount he can confirm to be completed by himself.

The team of magic technicians from the Tower of Time is not counted at all.

If he takes more orders, he may not be able to cover the bottom line.

It is still necessary to look at the completion of the order in June before talking about the follow-up.

However, Xia Duo also completely refused, but left a certain amount of leeway: "The tower of time is full in June, and I don't plan to take more orders for the time being. Let's talk about it in July!"

"No problem! The underground war will not end in a short time, and there are still many opportunities for us to cooperate."

During the words, Lord Harlan even showed his anticipation for the underground war, which made Xia Duo frown secretly.

Although Xia Duo also wanted to earn some gold coins in the underground war, he still knew the truth of being cold-hearted and caring for the feelings of allies. As the lord of Netheril, he should not and could not show such an attitude in public.

This would cause Danzo to misjudge, thinking that Netheril might take the initiative to intervene in the war and prolong the war.

Although this is indeed in the interests of Netheril to a certain extent, this kind of thing can only be done, but it must not be said.

In addition, from a longer-term perspective, sacrificing Danzo, a Northern Alliance that can be said to be a natural ally of Netheril, may not really benefit.

Therefore, combined with the fact that Lord Harlan chose to put all his eggs in one basket before reaching a real desperate situation, Xia Duo felt that this guy was not a good partner for cooperation.

He felt that Lord Harlan was a person who paid more attention to short-term interests. Once he could not meet the short-term interests of the other party, it was not impossible for the other party to change his face in an instant.

What Xia Duo wants most is allies with common ideals and goals, secondly, partners with long-term common interests, and thirdly, trading partners with short-term common interests.

For the first two, Xia Duo can give a lot of benefits to his collaborators to a certain extent. After all, in the long run, he will not lose anything, but will earn more.

But the latter, the short-term trading object, is almost a one-shot deal, of course, it can be squeezed as clean as it can be squeezed.

Of course, with Xia Duo's current status and strength, any existence can develop into a long-term partner.

It doesn't matter if you go further and further away; if you dare to turn your face and play tricks, it also depends on whether the sword in Xia Duo's hand is strong or not!

Thinking in this way, Xia Duo already had a general idea of ​​how to deal with the nine demon-slaying arrows.

……

When he arrived at the residence, Xia Duo invited Lord Haran to the reception room for a detailed discussion. The other party came to see him not just to increase orders, but the most important thing was to get the nine demon-slaying arrows in advance.

He believes that at this moment, there are absolutely not many people who can take out nine demon-slaying arrows at once. The number that was supposed to appear at the end of the month has appeared at least one month earlier. This will definitely bring great benefits to Lord Harlan. Interests.

Lord Harlan mentioned earlier that Prince Pasteur could receive an order for a demon-slaying amulet at the cost of a demon-slaying arrow.

This should be true, but there must be more tricks in it. It can't be exactly the same as taking ten demon-slaying arrows now and a month later!

Even if the order is the same, the impression on Prince Pasteur will not be exactly the same. The friendship of the dwarf prince, this book is a huge benefit.

"Lord Harlan, what I need to let you know is that I have just promised His Excellency Cliff to explore the star world soon. I need to prepare for this during this period, but don't worry, the remaining nine demon-slaying arrows It will be delivered in time within a month."

"Just agreed? Go to the star world?" Charles Harlan suddenly turned pale with shock.

He originally thought that Lord Xiaduo could make the first demon-slaying arrow within two days, and that the remaining nine arrows would definitely be completed in a relatively short period of time.

But now, it is impossible for him to hinder His Excellency Cliff's plan, but he does not want to give up the Demon Slayer Arrow. A trace of anxiety flashed in Charles Harlan's eyes, and he asked unwillingly: "Is there really no way to advance?"

"It's not impossible."

As soon as he heard that it was feasible, the expression on Lord Haran's face immediately turned from worry to joy, and he asked impatiently, "What do Lord Xia need?"

Xia Duo glanced at the other party, does this guy really have a backer?You might not have dared to ask questions like this before you changed your job.

It's just that he knows that this matter is related to Cliff, but he still doesn't give up. Xia Duo speculates that his relationship with Cliff may not be very close.

It seems that what Lord Harlan just said about being old with one of Cliff's students should be limited to this!
However, this is also a good thing for Xia Duo. If the other party puts Cliff first in everything, they will not ask for early delivery, and Xia Duo will not be able to get more from this matter.

As for what to get, Xia Duo thought about it carefully, and he found that he could get nothing special from Lord Haran.

Harlanside Manor has been delivered and belongs to the Tower of Time.As for the others, if it is too high, Lord Haran is not willing; if it is too low, Xia Duo himself can't speak.

Therefore, Xia Duo put forward a condition that seemed to have nothing to do with him: "I need the Lord of Harlan to promote the new coins of Mingshui Chamber of Commerce in Harlan Territory and the economic activities that can be involved!"

"New coins from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce?" Charles Harlan rolled his eyes and asked hastily, "Could it be that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce's production of the Demon-Slaying Arrow has something to do with it?"

"Ha ha."

Xia Duo didn't answer this question, but just looked at the other party calmly, to see how the other party would choose.

The new coins of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce involve the ascension ceremony, and not all territories will agree.

According to Xia Duo's understanding, currently only a few territories are willing to actively promote the new coins in the name of the government, while some uninformed territories are relatively neutral, neither supporting nor opposing it, depending on their relationship with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.

However, there are more territories related to the Grand Arcanist, but there is no objection in the open, and various obstructions in the dark. Even the Seven Towers, which has a good relationship with Jenna, have a lot of opposition voices inside.

After all, the ascended gods, in a sense, are all competitors!
Maybe, I think your route to ascend to the gods may be relatively simple and easy to implement, so I'll change it. For someone like Jenna who is trying to build a business order, definitely more than one person thinks of it.

If she can win the Harlan collar, it will definitely be a big improvement for Jenna.

Of course, for Xia Duo, although he couldn't get anything from Lord Haran, he could definitely get it back from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.

He is very sure of this!
　The third watch is over, so tired. . .
