Lord of Arcane

Chapter 209 Cooperation
Seeing Mrs. Patty again, Xia Duo noticed that the expression on her face was much better than last time. She was wearing a long black dress with a few exquisite jewelry embellishments, and she looked quite calm and elegant.

Rao Xia Duo had seen all kinds of beauties on the earth, but he also felt that his eyes were bright, so he took the initiative to say hello:

"Mrs. Patty, long time no see!"

"Master Xiaduo, it's not been a long time. I just met you the day before yesterday, but you didn't see me." Mrs. Patty covered her mouth with a smile, and stretched out her hand to invite, "My lord, please come in!"

Walking into the living room, the two sat down separately, and the maid quickly brought tea and snacks. At this time, Xia Duo also noticed that the small table next to Mrs. Patty's seat was not tea and snacks, but a stack of them. stack paperwork.

Xia Duo didn't pay much attention, took a sip of the familiar elf hot drink, and then asked: "Mrs. Patty, why did you come here this time—"

"Congratulations, my lord, for becoming the pioneer of the empire!" Mrs. Patty's voice was very earnest, and there was a trace of admiration in her eyes.

But Xia Duo knew that the person worshiped in front of him should be the title of "pioneer", not himself, and even this worship might be faked.

"Mrs. Patty, there's no need to congratulate. Let's get down to business. It's getting late." Xia Duo reminded after looking at the darkened sky outside.

cough--

Mrs. Patty concealed her embarrassment, "My lord, I heard that you plan to open up territory in the Green Pearl Forest?"

"How do you know?" Xia Duo was startled and asked subconsciously.

But then he realized that he had overreacted. With Mrs. Patty's unclear relationship with the lord, it was not impossible to know that he had reached an agreement with the lord.

And Mrs. Patty knew that Xia Duo might have misunderstood something, and quickly explained: "The other two pioneers left Savile Territory with Archmage Greta yesterday, and then I heard that someone got The right to develop, and then I will think of you, my lord."

It turns out that this is the case. Although Xia Duo was a little surprised by Mrs. Patty's various "hearings", she didn't study it carefully, "It is indeed the case. I have obtained an independent development territory in the Green Pearl Forest. I don't know what advice Madam has. ?”

"My lord is joking, so I dare not give any advice." Mrs. Patty's face became a little nervous, "It's just that I don't know if your lord needs support to open up the territory?"

"Support?" Of course Xia Duo needs support, but can you give it for free?Thinking about it, I know it's impossible, "Madam, please explain in detail."

Mrs. Patty first glanced at the documents on the small table next to her, pursed her lips, and said firmly: "My lord needs manpower and materials to open up the territory, such as lumberjacks, coolies, farmers, seeds, tools, etc. These Liadon Chamber of Commerce can provide it!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Xia Duo nervously. The Liaton Chamber of Commerce has undergone some bad changes recently, and she needs to make more plans for the future of the Chamber of Commerce.

Because this is what Felbers has worked hard for all his life.

Xia Duo carefully thought about Mrs. Patty's words. He had never done anything like open up territories, but he still knew some common sense.

It is nothing more than driving away wild animals and alien races first, then cutting down trees, clearing an open space, building a stronghold, and then farming, but the details need to be carefully considered.

Seeing Mrs. Patty's nervous expression, Xia Duo was suddenly a little happy, "I do need a lot of manpower and supplies, but I don't have so many gold coins to pay for them!"

"No, my lord, no gold coins are needed."

"You don't need gold coins? Then what do you want?" Xia Duo never believed in the good news of a pie falling from the sky. If you don't want gold coins, then what the other party wants must be more expensive than gold coins.

However, as long as it is within Xia Duo's bottom line, he is still willing to accept other people's transactions. After all, a transaction means that there is a common interest, and he has no reason to refuse.

He wanted to see what Mrs. Patty had to say.

"My lord, I hope to obtain the magic item made by my lord, as well as the right to do business in the future territory."

"That's all?" Xia Duo asked in surprise.

He felt that this was not a deal at all, it was simply a benefit delivered to his door.First of all, he needs to make magic items, and if he doesn't do it, he won't have one. The so-called business right is also based on the successful expansion of the territory.

In other words, the content of Mrs. Patty's transaction is basically Xia Duo's credit. If she changed her mind to something slanderous, she would probably eat up all the bones and belts.

Looking at the young and beautiful Mrs. Patty, Xia Duo felt a little complicated. He knew he was thinking too much, but he still couldn't help wondering if the other party had taken a fancy to him.

However, after talking in detail, Xia Duo finally understood that the transaction was just an exchange of gold coins for magic items, and even if it could be defaulted, interest would still be required.

As for the right to do business, that's just incidental.

As for the specific price, although Mrs. Patty is not very good at bargaining, she still fights with reason and strives to obtain the maximum benefit.

By this time, Xia Duo had completely let go of the sorcerer's airs, and bargained with Mrs. Patty like an ordinary peddler.

Opening up a territory is not something that can be done overnight, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, in other words, it requires a lot of gold coins.

Even if it is just one silver coin on one scroll now, it will involve countless interests in the future.

Xia Duo didn't make any preparations when he came. All he could know was the finished products and prices of the scrolls he could make.

As for other more advanced scrolls, as well as magical items such as potions and wands, he didn't have any counts, and only knew an approximate price, but this obviously couldn't be used to negotiate transactions.

In the end, it was difficult for the two to reach an agreement on specific magic items, and they could only agree that the market price on the delivery date shall prevail.

Xia Duo settled with magic items at a price that was [-]% lower than the market price, while Mrs. Patty needed to provide a detailed expenditure report, specific to each person and each seed.

This result can be accepted by both parties, and it can be regarded as a win-win cooperation.

Xiaduo overdraws the future and gets what he needs now, while Mrs. Patty is equivalent to becoming the general agent of the "Shadow card" magic item.

Before repaying the debt, Xia Duo cannot sell magic items to other chambers of commerce.

The last step of the cooperation is the contract. Xia Duo was worried that the other party would not perform, and the other party might also be worried that he would renege on his debts. The two almost agreed to propose the contract.

"My lord, I have prepared the contract." Mrs. Patty picked up the small bell beside the table and shook it lightly.

After a while, the butler came in with a tray, bent down and handed the tray to Mrs. Patty. On the tray was a seemingly ordinary piece of parchment.

But in Xia Duo's magical vision, this piece of parchment shone with a divine light, full of order and ruthlessness.

This is the sacred contract of the Lord of Radiance!
