Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2265 Cat's Clue
Only now did Prince Aben realize how outrageous his remarks about "filling this hall" were. Hall", I'm afraid I have to sell Imaska ​​to afford it!
"Master Athos, I bought so much at one time, even if the retail price is exaggerated, let alone a price increase, isn't it appropriate?"

Prince Aben used the trading rules of general commodities to make a counter-offer, Xia Duo could understand it, but he didn't accept it, "Your Highness, you have also understood that arcane crystals can only be handcrafted by arcanists.

"And I need to remind one more thing - the arcanist consumes this kind of arcane energy crystal when casting spells. In other words, every arcanist will try his best to reserve the arcane energy crystal for various emergencies. This strategy How can supplies be sold at a reduced price like ordinary commodities!"

These words made Prince Aben speechless, now it is a seller's market, no matter how high Xia Duo's asking price is, as long as Prince Aben really has this demand, he will have to grit his teeth and bleed profusely.

Afterwards, seeing that Prince Aben remained silent, Xia Duo made another cut, "I originally thought that Prince Aben proposed to fill this hall with the arcane energy crystals, and I thought I had already made ample preparations, but I didn't expect it to be just One hundred thousand arcane crystals—"

"..."

Prince Aben's expression changed after hearing this, and in the end he didn't say anything to counter the offer, but changed the subject, "I heard Jam mention before that Master Athos is looking for some kind of material?"

"I can't hide it from His Royal Highness, I was indeed looking for a new material, but unfortunately I couldn't find it here."

"At present, there are very few types of materials in Imaska's external transaction list. I have already consulted the great craftsman master about this. His Majesty has agreed to open the material list of the Secret Device Research Institute to you. I believe you will be able to have gained."

"I hope!" Xia Duo didn't feel very happy about this.

It's not a big deal just to open the list. The key is, if he really finds the material he wants, is Imaska ​​willing to sell it to him?

And what manufacturing method is he most concerned about?

These are all pitfalls, but fortunately, the opponent still needs the Arcane Crystal, otherwise he might not even be able to see the so-called "Secret Weapon Research Institute Material List".

Although Xia Duo didn't show much interest, Prince Aben still enthusiastically introduced the material advantages of Imaska: "Creation magic has very unique advantages in the discovery and creation of new materials. You can't find your material in the material list of the research institute, and believe me, you can't find it in other places."

"is it?"

Xia Duo couldn't help being aroused by the other party's confident assurance, "If I can really find the material I want, we will definitely have more cooperation in the future."

"By the way, I don't know what kind of material Master Athos is looking for. If you can, you might as well tell me first, maybe I just know it!"

"Uh, that's fine too!"

The anti-color magic system does not have high requirements on materials, or in other words, does not have high requirements on the types of materials. The core is only energy-conducting materials.

Therefore, whether the other party was too enthusiastic or kept secret, Xia Duo actually didn't care much, and then he expressed his needs:
"I'm looking for a cheap energy-conducting material that can match Mithril. It would be great if Prince Aben could provide relevant clues!"

"A cheap energy-conducting material that can match Mithril?"

Hearing such a request, Prince Aben wanted to shake his head subconsciously. There are indeed many energy-conducting materials that can match Mithril, but if it is cheap at the same time, it is not easy to say.

"What kind of pure mithril is the [matching mithril] that Master Athos refers to? If it is only the energy-conducting effect of rough refining mithril, then [Norfluorite] is actually a very ideal cheap material .”

"[Norfluferr] is on the list of trades open to the outside world in your country, and I have tested the samples I bought before. In terms of energy conduction effect, [Norfluferr] does not meet my requirements."

"Need a stronger energy-conducting effect than [Norfluferron]?" Prince Aben frowned, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Xia Duo couldn't help sighing secretly. It seems that even in Imaska, it is not so easy to obtain cheap substitutes for Mithril.

……

After a moment of silence, both the host and the guest consciously avoided the topic of the transaction for the time being. Prince Aben took the initiative to ask Xia Duo about the customs of the Western Land, and at the same time introduced some basic information about Imaska.

Xia Duo recalled the past situation of Netheril, but said nothing about the changes in the Northern Alliance and the Great Xia Territory.Through this meeting, he gained a new understanding of Imaska.

At the end of the meeting, Xia Duo also made a personal request. He projected the image of a cat and asked Prince Aben:

"I don't know if His Royal Highness has seen this kind of animal?"

"What animal is this? Did Imasca have it?"

Prince Aben’s reaction surprised Xiaduo. When he was in Comanso before, Korani clearly said that his friend brought the cat back from Imasca and gave it to him. How could Prince Aben have nothing to do with it? What about the reaction?
"I saw this animal at a friend's place. She said that another friend brought it to her from Imaska. A large part of my trip to Imaska ​​was to find this animal."

Xia Duo originally thought that as soon as he arrived in Imaska, he could easily find many cats, but the reality is that he has never seen any cats in so many days.

Although this is due to the limited travel, if the cat exists here as a pet or to catch mice, there will not be no traces at all.

In this regard, Prince Aben once again emphasized his opinion, "This is indeed a rather lovable animal, but I have never seen it before. I believe that your friends will not lie, I will send a You will be notified as soon as there is a result.”

"Then please trouble Your Highness."

"Sure, as Master Athos is a distinguished guest of Imasca, this requirement should be met."

Later, Prince Aben took the initiative to mention, "I heard from Jam before that you want to buy a large number of slaves. I have ordered people to gather all the slaves near Inupuras and wait for your selection at any time. If there are not enough slaves , and can also be recruited from surrounding areas.”

"..."

Xia Duo didn't expect that the other party would pay so much attention to it when he just mentioned it casually at the time. It seems that the other party really needs a lot of arcane crystals urgently, and he doesn't know what new materials he wants to develop.

It is estimated that the majority of these gathered slaves are Mulan people, but Xia Duo has decided not to buy them in large quantities until he confirms that the Mulan people can apply the Nether magic system. Now this situation makes him a little embarrassed.

"I need to think again about the slave."

"It's okay, Master Athos can think about it slowly, as long as there is a need, you can tell me at any time."

In fact, for Imaska, having too many slaves is also a burden, especially under the influence of successive years of war and abnormal climate, it is definitely a good thing if the surplus slaves can be thrown out for money.
