Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2249 Journey to Imasca 9
What Jam said was coming soon was indeed very fast. Almost a few seconds after he finished speaking, a burly man in armor with a purple cloak was dragged by a hammer with a strange shape and flew to the magic ship.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo really had a sense of dislocation in time and space, and shortly after Farman arrived, a large group of soldiers ran out from the twin minaret not far away, and hovered three ships hovering at the edge of the square. The magic ship has three floors inside and three floors outside.

"%#&￥%@!" Farman yelled down, and then babbled a lot to Jam.

Then, Jam translated: "Master Farman said that the people below are only surrounding him to protect him. There have been many assassinations against him in Meto City before."

"I don't know how much food Commander Farman needs?" Percher asked.

"Need at least 60 pounds!"

"sure, no problem."

Hearing the figure of 60 pounds, Percher breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't want to monopolize all the food here, there would be no problem.

As for whether it is 60 or 600 million, it is actually not that important. Based on his understanding of Imasca, since Meto City said that there is a shortage of food, it must mean that the people of Imasca are short of food, and it may even be that The direct subordinates led by Farman are short of food, and the lowest slaves will not be counted at all.

In other words, slaves are a kind of food reserve in the most urgent time.

"Does Commander Farman understand the rules of the transaction?"

"I have already explained it to the commander, and the commander fully accepts it."

"That's good, so as not to cause misunderstandings during the transaction."

After simply confirming the intention, Percher began to arrange the transaction. He arranged for the two elf crew members to disembark and cleared a large area in the square.

During this process, he himself continued to negotiate with Jam or Farman on material transactions. Food has only become a hard currency in the past ten years, but because of the value of food itself, even if the price is doubled, the benefits will be limited. .

Therefore, what Cormanthor values ​​more is transactions other than food, such as puppets, special engineering metals, ores, drinks, artworks, and so on.

Soon, Xia Duo saw the trading method between Cormanthor and the Imasca people. It was not to take out the goods from the cabin, or to carry any storage items with him, but to have two crew mages cast spells to communicate with the local people. Real-time transmission.

Send whatever you want.

As for the materials obtained from Imaska's trade, they were also instantly sent back to the mainland in this way.

In this process, the tax officer Jam played a huge role, not only to determine the price and record the quantity of the goods for both parties, but also to act as a transaction witness.

He was so busy, he didn't stop for almost a moment.

The trading materials that Farman brought out this time, except for a few humanoid puppets that look very expensive, the most are various engineering metals.

All these were exchanged for 60 pounds of Cormanthor refined flour, a dozen boxes of wine, a box of potions, and a high-quality protective magic weapon that can be automatically synchronized.

Xia Duo's eyes were a little hot when he saw it. Needless to say, the puppets, even if all the metals were cast into farm tools, they would still be worth a lot of money, not to mention that the Comanthor caravan flew over thousands of miles away. Metal is that simple.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo quickly sent a message to remind Percher, asking him to ask if the other party needs energy gems.

"Do you need energy gems? My friend has very high-quality energy gems that can be traded." After speaking, Percher also took out two samples of arcane crystals and handed them to Jam.

Jam kept one for himself, and gave the other to Farman. The two studied for a while and chatted a lot, and then Jam said to Xiaduo:

"This is an energy buffer material with excellent performance. Commander Farman asked how much you have, and he asked for it all."

"This kind of energy gem is also extremely precious on our side. I still want to keep some of it for my own use! It is impossible to have all of them. Tell Commander Farman for me. I can only give up a hundred of them at most."

For Xia Duo, arcane crystals may be more connected than water, but the low cost does not mean that things need to be purchased, and it does not mean that they must be produced in large quantities.

Rare things are more expensive, he can guarantee that there will not be much difference between the total price of one ton and the total price of only one hundred pieces.

Then why does he have to take so much out!

For Xia Duo's "stinginess", Farman, who has seen the crystallization of arcane energy with his own eyes, naturally cannot accept it. The two sides continue to see each other through Jam, but in the end it is only the end of Xia Duo's symbolic release of ten more.

"I don't know what this Assos guest needs? Since this kind of energy gemstone is not on the transaction list, I can only estimate it temporarily, but I guarantee that it will definitely be higher than normal. The price of 110 pieces is 70 makala."

Makara is a token specially minted by Imasca for trade with Cormanthor, and its value is approximately equal to that of Cormanthor's Hilmel (gold coin).

Xia Duolai heard Percher talk about this kind of exchange relationship many times on the way, but he was still shocked when he heard such an offer.

If this can be exchanged infinitely at such a price, he can make the Imascans cry.

"I want a puppet that can make magic props." Of course, Xia Duo expressed his request with an attitude of giving it a try.

But it is obvious that such a request is difficult to meet. After repeated exchanges with Farman, Jam gave Xia Duo a head-on blow, "What needs to be told to the guests is that except for the smart puppet, no other puppet can complete the task on your side. Magic items, even custom-made artisan puppets can only make secret vessels unique to Imaskar."

The two sides are not in the same magic system, Xia Duo almost forgot this fact, and then asked: "Is it feasible to make a puppet that can make a puppet?"

"It doesn't work. There are many production processes for puppets. If you want to use puppets to make puppets, each process requires the cooperation of one or more artisan puppets. After such a complete set, only 70 Makara is not enough, let alone the cost of puppets. Production is not on the list of deals at all."

"..."

Next, Xia Duo made several more requests, but all of them received negative answers, either because the money was not enough, or it was not in the transaction list.

This made Xia Duo regret that more arcane crystals were given out, but it is probably too late to show them out now. Jam will not let him get the core secrets of Imasca so easily. most common operation.

In this case--

Xia Duo thought about it, but he still didn't want a puppet. After all, he already had a protective puppet, which was far from the robot he imagined. As for the smart puppet, he couldn't afford it now, and in fact, he didn't sell it on the other side.

"Then switch me to various engineering metals, as many as possible. I'm looking for new materials to use for an important experiment. Maybe it would be great to find them here."
