Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1604
After finishing speaking, Seid seemed to have thought of something, and said, "I know that an elf family from Cormanthor has settled in Savile Territory. If the Tower of Time can directly provide foreign trade magic items, Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is willing to cooperate with Time The tower shares the elf market."

"I will think about it."

If it was before, Xia Duo might think that the sharing market Said mentioned was really a sharing market, but now that he knows that the foreign trade version needs additional processing, he doesn't think so.

Said's meaning should be that the Tower of Time provides foreign trade version of magic items, and the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will sell them as a consignment; if they can't provide them, then the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will process them by themselves, and then sell them to the kingdom of elves to make a lot of money.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Xia Duo agrees or not. Mingshui Chamber of Commerce has mastered the most important channel. It is definitely impossible for the Tower of Time to collect all the profits, and it must share part of the profits.

The difference is that the other party saves less trouble and earns less, or troubles more and earns more.

Correspondingly, the choice on the side of the Tower of Time is to want to be more troublesome and risky, and not necessarily earn more; or want to be simpler, safer, and earn less.

The reason why it is a bit more troublesome but not able to make more money is mainly because it is difficult for Xia Duo to grasp the specific trend of the Elf Kingdom. This is not as good as the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce that has always been in this business.

If you lose the bet, you might even have to pay.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo made a decision in his heart, but he didn't tell Said right now, but returned to the original topic, asked about the current situation of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, and sent an invitation to Jenna:
"I will go to Severton in a while, and I hope to meet President Jenna at that time."

"I will pass on Lord Xia Duo's words to the president, and I believe the president will be happy to meet Lord Xia Duo."

……

After the meeting, Xia Duo arranged for Said to live in Savile Town, where the cooperation negotiations on the new communication instrument will be held. Arranging Said there will also facilitate his work with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce in Savile Town. contact.

Of course, neither Xia Duo nor Niya will participate in the follow-up negotiations. Niya is learning key knowledge points from "Promotion Encyclopedia", and Xia Duo will also complete the follow-up design of the floating city and keep an eye on the magic mechanic The department will come up with mass production samples as soon as possible.

He and Niya won't even pay too much attention to this negotiation, just wait for the result. Anyway, he has already drawn the bottom line, and it's nothing more than a question of earning more and earning less.

The upgraded version of the communication magic weapon was originally for cutting leeks, even if it made a little less, it was still a big profit.

In contrast, Xia Duo paid more attention to the negotiations on the cooperation of communication magic tools when the Tower of Time asked Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to increase the quarterly delivery of magic materials and renegotiate the price.

In addition, Xia Duo is also waiting for a piece of news, of course not about the magic restriction treaty, but the rumors he released before.

The Magic Restriction Treaty is basically a certainty, and it is unlikely that there will be changes. However, he has released rumors to accept the customization of high-quality magic items before, which is related to the harvest of his next trip to Severton. Xia Duo needs to take more orders. In order to make up for the shortfall caused by the Tower of Time's support for the construction of the floating city.

……

Two days later, the negotiations between the Tower of Time and the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce continued, but a piece of news reached Xia Duo before the results of the negotiations.

At noon that day, Xia Duo and Nya had dinner at the lord's villa in Linshui Village. The two talked about the progress of the negotiations in Savile Town at this time, but suddenly Niya stopped talking.

Xia Duo glanced at Niya's expression, and knew that there was some important news from the Tower of Time. Niya was connected to the tower spirit essence of the Tower of Time, and the timeliness of obtaining information was far more timely than Xia Duo.

"What happened?" Xia Duo asked.

Niya quickly received and processed all the information, and when she heard Xia Duo's inquiry, she froze for a few seconds before saying, "It's the June Supplement of the Union of Arcana and France. About the Magic Restriction Treaty, it was published in the Northland Alliance just now." Representatives of the United States signed the treaty in Evereska, the content is similar to what you said before, but much more detailed."

"So efficient?" Xia Duo snorted coldly, "The elves really don't want to die! Besides this, what else is mentioned in the supplement?"

"It's a resolution issued by the Severton Council on behalf of the distribution plan for large-scale magical activities. By the way, this kind of share has an official name in Elvish language in the magic restriction treaty, called 'super magic share'."

"Super magic share?"

Xia Duo repeated this somewhat unfamiliar Elvish vocabulary, but with his mastery of Elven language, it is not difficult to understand the meaning.

"What is the distribution plan decided by the Severton Council?" Xia Duo asked again.

"It's almost the same as what you said before, half of it is allocated directly to the Grand Arcanist, but the other half is a little different from what you said, it is not all given to the Arcane Federation, but divided equally between the Severton Council and the Arcane Federation. "

"It's not too much. After all, the Seven Towers still have a hand for themselves."

For this result, Xia Duo was not too surprised. Even if he kept a hand, he actually gave out most of the shares.

On the contrary, it was because the Seventh Tower compromised so quickly that it exceeded his expectations. Maybe there was another change in Severton, which forced the Seventh Tower to compromise as soon as possible.

However, Xia Duo felt that it was more likely that the Northland Alliance's negotiations on the magic restriction treaty were speeding up, forcing the Seven Towers to finalize the domestic distribution method as soon as possible.

Otherwise, wait for the more detailed negotiation details from the Northern Alliance to come out, then there will really be variables.

Xia Duo speculated that the domestic distribution plan of Netheril might have been finalized shortly after Iolum contacted him some time ago.

Of course, from the perspective of forces other than the Seven Towers, it is definitely hoped that the results of the negotiations will come out, and then the domestic distribution will be discussed.

But it still ended early, and the Seven Towers still kept a hand, so it must be exchanged by the Seven Towers with the interests of the Seven Towers.

"Is it the etheric advance base?"

Xia Duo's first reaction was this, but he quickly denied this guess. The Ether Advance Base is not owned by the Seventh Tower, so it can only be said that the Seventh Tower has the right to occupy a part of it.

Are they going to completely abandon the interests of the ether forward base?

This is obviously impossible.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Seven Towers has the absolute upper hand in the negotiation with Iolum about the etheric advance base, so that the advanced base can be used to exchange benefits.

However, Xia Duo was still more inclined to make concessions in a field he didn't know about in the Seven Towers. After all, Iolum was not so easy to bully.

Not to mention that Iolum still masters [Mythra], even if the research of [Mythra] is also supported and sponsored by the Seven Towers, it is not difficult for Iolum to handle it.

As for where the Seventh Tower made concessions, Xia Duo just thought about it for a while and stopped thinking about it. This question is not important, because as long as the Seventh Tower's interests are damaged, relatively speaking, he will benefit. (All non-seven towers benefit)

If you want to know, just ask Iolum.

……

Knowing the news, Xia Duo didn't want to eat leisurely anymore, so he picked up a steamed bun and said to Niya, "I'll meet the Tower of Time first."

Regarding the specific details of the Magic Restriction Treaty, it is difficult to see the whole picture just by listening to Niya's recitation. You should read the supplement of the Arcane Federation for yourself.
