Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1639 Fitch's trust within three days
in the lounge.

While drinking tea, Xia Duo was flipping through the "Agricultural Book" that had just been sent out, waiting for Belleira to bring him.

Just as he was thinking about how this group of mages with lord background would treat this book, the doorbell alarm was triggered, and the crisp ringing of the jingle bell lifted Xia Duo's spirits, and he finally had a business visit.

"Come in!"

"Lord Xiaduo."

Seeing that Belleira was the only one who came in, Xia Duo couldn't help being puzzled, and asked, "You alone? Where are the others? Aldrin didn't come?"

"They are outside, custom-made magic items, and they must not be known by too many people."

Belera briefly explained, and said, "In addition to Aldrin, Anda Tlaib, and Fitch, they all clearly stated that they want to order one."

Hearing the name of Anda Tlaib, Xia Duo was thoughtful. I am afraid that the situation in the south is really not good. As for Fei Qi, this is not a mage of the Seven Towers, but a secret deacon of the Arcane Federation.

When Belera organized and prepared the exchange meeting, the high-level mages were the first priority. Without these speakers and only a group of mid-level and low-level mages, it would not be an exchange meeting in Severton at all.

The second is that Xia Duo deliberately explained that he has a lord background. He is a lord, his father and grandparents were lords, and even those who have a good relationship with the lord of a certain place are counted.

Xia Duo recalled it carefully, but did not find any further information about Fitch. Fortunately, Belleira was here, so he asked bluntly:
"What's the background of Fitch?"

"Mage Fitch is the deacon of the secret texts of the Arcane Federation. At the same time, he is also the younger brother of Lord Isaac in the central region. When he was young, he studied in Gilles High Tower. Law Association."

"That's it!"

Xia Duo faintly felt that there was some trouble, so he asked again: "What do you think Fei Qi thinks about Isaac collar now?"

"It's hard to say."

Belera also seemed to realize something, and her words were very cautious, "However, I heard that Lord Isaac once sent his favorite eldest son to Master Fitch as an apprentice, and now Isaac is developing on the Cologne Plain. Xindi, perhaps the relationship between the two of them is not as unharmonious as outsiders imagined."

"Understood, let Fitch come in first."

"Yes."

……

Soon, Belleira went out and brought Fitch in, and she left the lounge to entertain the other two guests.

In the lounge, Fitch saluted Xiaduo respectfully, "Dear Lord Xiaduo, Fitch Isaac greets you."

Xia Duo nodded, and went straight to the point, "Master Fei Qi doesn't need to be polite, I heard from Belleira that you intend to order a high-quality magic item?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know the price on my side?"

"I know, Belleira has already told me that one hundred thousand gold coins, with mithril, as a 'custom made by a great arcanist', I think this price is very reasonable, even a bit low, and I can completely accept it."

Fitch expressed his thoughts without hesitation.

Theoretically, an archmage or a senior arcanist is enough to produce high-quality magic items, but not every archmage or senior arcanist is proficient in creation, and even a great arcanist may not be proficient in creation.

Therefore, the high-quality magic items that can appear on the market are either reserved early, or there are various hidden dangers that no one cares about.

Its price is not acceptable to ordinary people, basically it is more than [-] gold coins, there is no upper limit, it only depends on how high the demand for purchase is.

As for Xia Duo's asking price, the mithril that comes with it is almost negligible compared to the [-] gold coins, and the [-] gold coins are not to mention buying a customized version. Definitely be able to buy it.

Fitch didn't quite believe the news when he heard the news at first, but he didn't rush to join until Aldrin and Anda Tlaib made it clear that they wanted to customize it, fearing that they wouldn't be able to make it.

As for whether this was a scam or a conspiracy, Fitch wasn't that worried. He didn't think he had anything worthy of being set up by the great arcanist.

Furthermore, as the secret deacon of the Arcane Federation, he has almost absolute trust in Congeinio, and this trust extends to Iolum and Xiaduo, even with a few discounts, it is more than other people a lot of.

……

Fei Qi's firmness and trust exceeded Xia Duo's expectations, and he had prepared the spell to perceive the mind before the other party entered the door.

Even for high-level mages, even if they may not be able to perceive the specific thoughts of the other party, it is enough to judge whether the other party's words are consistent with the surface consciousness.

Fitch didn't lie, and he didn't look like he had undergone self-hypnosis. Xia Duo was very relieved about this, and finally someone knew the truth.

Thinking about it carefully, except for Aiwa, the few people he asked to spread the word, including Belleira, may not have seriously publicized this matter.

At least not as Xia Duo expected, similar to the way of propaganda on Earth.

For a while, Xia Duo regretted looking for a few people. If he had known about it, he would have released the task directly at the Arcane Federation. That efficiency might be better than it is now.

……

Next, Xia Duo asked Fitch about his requirements for magic items.

In this regard, Fitch's answer was—"I hope to customize a high-quality detection-type magic item that can search for various targets in a targeted manner. It would be even better if it can also have anti-detection capabilities!"

"can."

After a little thought, Xia Duo agreed, and without asking the other party the purpose of customizing this magical item, he directly said a date, "In three days, come to Azure Manor to pick up the goods, is it okay?"

"Three days?"

Hearing this time, Fei Qi's face was full of surprise, "Three days is too fast! I thought, I thought—"

"What do you think? Delay for more than half a year, and then pretend to fail countless times, and then ask for a lot of money?" Xia Duo said with a smile.

As far as he knew, many archmages played like this. Even if they made an agreement in advance and received a deposit, there was a high probability that they would delay the time, and then fiddle around a few times when the delivery deadline was approaching.

Those with good character may directly deliver the goods, while those with bad character may start asking for prices.

Occasionally, there are those who play off, and the goods are not fiddled with in the end, and the result is a loss of character. If the sacred contract is signed in advance, then they will be directly blacklisted by the Lord of Radiance.

Regarding Xia Duo's joke, Fei Qi didn't dare to continue, but just marveled, "I didn't expect Lord Xia Duo to have such profound attainments in the field of creation."

"Then can you accept three days?"

"Yes, that's great. I'll go back to raise money right away. Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, I will definitely send the money to Azure Manor!"

It's already late at night today, even though he was enthusiastic in his heart, Fei Qi didn't say that he would come to send money tomorrow, Mithril is easy to say, after working in the Arcane Federation for so many years, I haven't saved anything else, Mithril is still not lacking of.

But [-] gold coins are not so easy to get out, and need to be raised carefully.
