Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1343 Harvesting Adventurers Prepares Hole Cards
Xia Duo is not a negotiator who is proficient in human nature, but he is a great arcanist who is relatively good at psychic spells.

It's okay to cheat once in a while without being detected.

Of course, he just peeked at the bottom line of the other party's negotiation, so as to make a choice that is more in line with his own interests, without affecting or even manipulating the other party's mind.

If it were someone else, maybe even more extreme things could be done.

However, Xia Duo always reminded himself that it is harmless to do this kind of thing once in a while, but if this is the main method, it is only a matter of time before the car rolls over.

……

After the signing was completed, Lord Harlan left a batch of materials and left. Not long after he left, Evans also came to Azure Manor.

But this time, the arrival of Evans really brought a surprise to Xia Duo - a total of 52 orders for the four adventurer teams.

According to Xia Duo's previous quotation to Evans, a 5000 gold coin can be settled with precious metals and gems. For such a large order, the cost will not exceed 10 at most.

But such a large number made Xia Duo difficult. In addition to the 100 demon-slaying amulets delivered to Lord Haran this time, he only brought an extra 25 pieces.

Less than half of the order Evans pulls in!
Moreover, for the purpose of hiding the real production capacity of the Tower of Time, it is impossible to sell all the existing 25 pieces. Xia Duo originally planned to sell only about 10 pieces.

But now this is the case!
What a happy trouble!
And those senior adventurers, one by one, are very rich, but they want to go to the Underdark to participate in the war against the drow. If they are not searched now, if they die in the Underdark, wouldn't their money be wasted? .

After thinking about it, Xia Duo felt that it was okay to release all 25 demon-slaying amulets. If the trade continues for a long time, Lord Harlan and others will always be aware of the real production capacity of the Tower of Time.

Besides, when other mage towers are mass-produced, the real production capacity will be actively exposed (part or even all) as an absolute competitiveness for orders.

It's just that even if all 25 pieces are taken out, it's not enough in this situation!

Of course, Xia Duo is not worried about being urged by adventurers, but it’s really a bit embarrassing if he can’t earn a lot of money in front of him!

"Evans, do you know the exact departure time of the four adventurer teams?"

"I don't know the exact time, but I know that they are all planning to set off after the establishment of the Northland Alliance."

"That's it!"

Xia Duo now knows that the establishment of the Northland Alliance will be on the fourth day of next month, and now it is the end of the month, the real end of the month, and it is only four or five days before the establishment of the alliance.

However, with the production efficiency of the Demon-Slaying Talisman Team of the Tower of Time's Magic Technician Department, four or five days is enough for them to produce enough semi-finished products.

The only inconvenience may be the cost of teleportation (use of magic circle) to and from the southern border.

If you don't want to waste in this aspect, Xia Duo can also cast spells on his own to teleport, but it involves a large order with a profit of more than a dozen or 20, and Xia Duo is not reluctant to only have a few thousand teleportation fees.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo knew what to do, so he immediately told Evans:

"There is no need to place orders for demon-slaying amulets for the time being. Those adventurers who want to go to the Underdark must have warning amulets and communication tools. In addition, missile wands or some powerful magic scrolls can also be used as the last cards. Sell these to them. .”

The last few magic items mentioned by Xia Duo can be mass-produced by the Tower of Time, and now Severton can also sell them. He believes that the adventurer team will definitely be prepared, but good sales even if the target has already been achieved. Similar products can also make the other party buy some more.

Even for the sake of the Demon-Slaying Talisman, those adventurers will buy some. At this point in time, the only one who can sell the Demon-Slaying Talisman is the Tower of Time.

For adventurers, being able to kill a fortune is a fortune. Anyway, they don’t know when they will die. If they don’t kill them now, they might not be able to kill them even if they want to.

Evans immediately understood Xia Duo's intentions, and quickly made a guarantee, "I will definitely not disappoint you."

"Very good! As for the demon-slaying amulets, I will contact you again in a few days. You tell those adventurers that the total number of demon-slaying amulets may be relatively small. Those paid with fine gold, mithril, and five-color gems can be ranked first." .”

In fact, the more valuable items on the adventurers may be some ancient magical artifacts in the ruins, but those things are more troublesome to identify. In addition to the identification itself, it is also very troublesome for those adventurers to take it out.

Even in Severnton, it is not impossible to have black food and drink.

Xia Duo knew that he was not, but those adventurers didn't know that instead of trying to build trust, it would be better to settle with hard currency directly.

In the days to come, the names of Tower of Time and Shaduo will one day become golden signs trusted by everyone.

"Also, Aiwa, have you met him? He hasn't been here for a long time, and he's not very familiar with all aspects. If you have time, take him with you. I won't treat anyone who has merit."

"Yes."

Evans responded immediately and deferentially.

Seeing this, Xia Duo didn't say anything, and waved him away.Looking at the back of Evans leaving, Xia Duo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Evans' ability to handle affairs is excellent in all aspects. If he is not a member of the Seven Towers, then Xia Duo would rather personally come forward to solicit the other party.

It's a pity that the current Tower of Time's reputation in Severton is far less than that of the Seven Towers, and even for a long period of time, it will be difficult to surpass it.

Now Xia Duo can only use Evans as an ordinary clerk, and when Aiwa is more familiar with Severton, then he will naturally appoint Aiwa who is closer and more trustworthy.

……

Send a message to Niya, asking her to inform the Ministry of Magical Technology to continue producing the Demon Slayer Talisman. After chatting with Aiwa for a while, Xia Duo returned to the Arcane Federation.

Just now he received a summons from Iolum, saying that he would set off one day earlier, and the specific time would be at noon on the third day of July, that is, four days later.

Taking advantage of this time, Xia Duo decided to make one or two guaranteed magic items for himself. After all, he was going abroad. In case of any accident, even if safety is not a big problem, he should not be too embarrassing.

……

The private laboratory of the Arcane Union was always reserved for Xia Duo. As soon as he came over, he sealed off the inside and outside, and cast magic to avoid detection, and then took out the materials left by Lord Harlan just now.

Let's use it first, there are many anyway, and there is no shortage of this point.

The first step is of course to purify the mithril. The mithril provided by Lord Harlan is only a third-grade product that is one grade higher than the standard mithril, and the high-quality magic items also need at least the first-class mithril.

Just during the purification period, Xia Duo can also think a little bit about what to do next.

He just became a great arcanist yesterday, so he really doesn't have much time to design magic items that contain 10-level spells, but 9-level spells are still possible, and there are many plans.
