Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2261 Cutting-edge technology smuggling

No matter how much the Absolu Chamber of Commerce asks for, Jam will convert it into Makara and tell Xia Duo at the same time, but what Xia Duo uses to pay is the crystal of arcane energy.

This is a no-cost business, and he doesn't care how much the other party can earn, as long as he feels that he is not losing money.

Now Jam has quoted a price of 272 million Makara. To be honest, Xia Duo is very satisfied. If it is converted into Arcane Crystals, it is less than 500 Arcane Crystals.

With the current output of Arcane Crystals in Floating Void City, Xia Duo only needs to count a few "123" silently in his heart, and he can easily accumulate so many Arcane Crystals.

But he felt that he was at a disadvantage at this price, and bargaining was inevitable, otherwise he would be easily taken for a ride.

"Mage Athos, manager Harman said that the price really can't be lowered any further. The cost of a multifunctional puppet alone is close to 100 million Makara. And the anthropomorphic puppet, before today, no one has ever thought of it. To fully anthropomorphize the puppet, it is generally enough to have personality, this kind of anthropomorphic puppet needs to be redesigned from scratch, and it is for the sake of Prince Aben to accept only this little."

"There were no anthropomorphic puppets before?"

"No, absolutely not. Humanoid confidants are not very popular in Imasca, let alone completely anthropomorphic. In the past, there may be craftsmen studying this, but Absolu Chamber of Commerce will definitely not. The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to make money , Why study something that doesn’t make money!”

In the end, it was good to say that Jame finally agreed to erase the fraction, not the fraction of 272 million Makara, but the fraction of the arcane crystals that Xia Duo needs to pay, only 400 arcane crystals are needed.

"Do you need a deposit? How long will it take to deliver?"

"There is no need for a deposit. As for how long it will take to deliver the goods, I wonder how long Master Athos plans to stay in Imasca?"

"I came with the Comanthor caravan, and I should leave together!"

"According to past experience, the Cormanthor caravan usually stays in Imasca for about a month. If this is the case, then before your Excellency leaves, the Absolu Chamber of Commerce will definitely be able to deliver the goods, and then the money and goods will be cleared." gone."

Xia Duo thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, but for the anthropomorphic puppet, I don't want the Absolu Chamber of Commerce to be perfunctory. If that's the case, I won't pay the bill then."

"Don't worry, Master Athos will definitely be satisfied."

Of course, these words did not come from Jam's personal guarantee, but were translated from Haman's strong self-confidence. Regarding this, Xia Duo didn't say anything more. Anyway, if he is not satisfied at that time, he will just not pay.

And the main purpose of his request for an anthropomorphic puppet was to spy on Imaska's technical level.

It is not an easy task to design and produce a puppet that imitates human beings in every way, at least with Xia Duo's current ability, he cannot make such a puppet.

He could even say that the whole of Netheril could not design such a puppet.

Of course, if he only pursues a similar effect, Xia Duo still has a lot of alternatives, but here he has restricted the conditions to death, and needs puppets, or in other words, to use the secret weapon form of the creation magic system to realize it.

Xia Duo believed that this would definitely not be an easy job.

Putting it on the earth, this is to make a robot that has a human appearance, human internal organization and can move like a real person. Considering the complexity of human beings, it is an impossible task to accomplish.

Therefore, Xia Duo actually does not require the Absolu Chamber of Commerce to make a puppet that is 100% similar to human beings. As long as the main system functions of the limbs and body are similar to human beings, he is considered qualified.

It can be said that only in the era of classical magic with many imperfect cognitions, can this kind of anthropomorphic puppet, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of technology, be "smuggled" so easily by Xia Duo.

Of course, it's too early to say this now, only when the puppet is actually in hand will it be considered a small victory.

……

After discussing the puppet customization, Xia Duo, the secret weapon of the combat direction, did not go to the second shop, but directly solved it here, but this is a workshop after all, and Harman only provided some samples for Xia Duo's reference. You still have to go to the store to get it.

"This is a protective belt. Once the wearer encounters an external attack, it will automatically activate the protective barrier, which can resist at least level 5 damage.

"This is a storm glove, the wearer can emit a ray of destruction from the palm of his hand, destroying all targets in front, the damage level has reached level 6.

"This is--"

Jam eloquently introduced the battle vector secrets to Xia Duo, and Xia Duo nodded his approval from time to time and placed an order, but after all the introductions, he found a problem, that is, these battle vector secrets are for personal combat use.

It does not have the attributes of large-scale battles on the battlefield.

"Jam Tax Officer, when I was in Janjit City, I remember that the rebels seem to have used a long-range siege weapon. Are there any?"

"Those are war weapons made privately by the rebels. They only pursue destructive power and have no security at all. Of course, such inferior products will not be sold here."

"Jam tax officer, you know that's not what I want to ask!" Xia Duo couldn't help but raise his voice to show his dissatisfaction. You don't have to sell it, but you can't be perfunctory and go around in circles.

The former Xia Duo fully understands and can accept it, but the latter Xia Duo understands but does not accept it.

"Master Athos, it is true that war weapons are not for sale. The secret weapons of the battle are already very sensitive. Besides that, I am worried—"

"You just say that you can't sell it! I'm not an unreasonable person. Xilu also has various restrictions on war weapons, and I can fully understand this."

"Yes Yes."

……

In the end, Xia Duo placed an order for more than 100 combat secret devices at the Absolu Chamber of Commerce, as well as hundreds of civilian secret devices with different functions, with a total price of 500 million makala.

This price is very high, but Xia Duo doesn't care at all. If he wants to learn from others, how can he not pay any tuition fees.

Although from the current point of view, secret weapons seem to be more suitable for civilian use than Xilu's magic weapons, Xia Duo believes that as long as the advantages of the secret weapon system are absorbed, magic weapons are not inferior to secret weapons.

Moreover, since the main material of the magic weapon is generally only one kind of mithril, it is much more convenient than the various materials of the secret weapon. As long as the cheap preparation method of mithril is done, the magic weapon can definitely become the most common magic item.

"Jam Tax Officer, I want to pay a visit to Prince Aben and thank him in person. I wonder if you can introduce me."

Now that Prince Aben has shown his sincerity, Xia Duo must not be too rude. Besides, a meeting is a meeting, and a transaction is a transaction. The two are not exactly the same thing.
