Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2273
Xia Duo thinks that Imasca may want to use energy-conducting materials with unknown costs as cheap materials to trade arcane crystals with him. If this is the case, the preparation methods of these materials may not be within the scope of the transaction.

After thinking for a while, he proposed to Prince Aben: "I fully believe in the capabilities of your country's Institute of Secret Weapons, but one hundred thousand arcane crystals is not a small amount. Is your highness planning to use these materials to trade with me?"

"if not?"

"If this is the case, why don't I just buy Mithril in Westland? I know that the materials in your country may be cheaper than Mithril in Westland, but this is completely inconsistent with my original intention. What I want is to replace Mithril. New solutions for silver, not just a limited batch of materials."

"Master Athos, isn't it enough that Imasca has been opening up these cheap materials to you? You must know that these materials are the product of thousands of years of Imasca's artisan system, even if you have mastered the power of creation and prepared them yourself. The cost is also much higher than our country."

This is the cost game between "buy" and "manufacture". Perhaps Imasca can always provide cheap materials, but Xia Duo does not want the source of this strategic material to be in the hands of others, even if it is just a substitute for Mithril product.

What's more, Mythra in Netheril has been gradually spreading, and sooner or later Imaskar will understand how low the cost of arcane crystals is.

Although the cost is not equal to the selling price, it will always have a certain impact on the exchanges between the two parties.

At that time, whether the price of this alternative energy-conducting material is increased or it refuses to sell, it will be a foreseeable reality for Xia Duo.

In fact, based on Xia Duo's estimation of this alternative energy-conducting material, the cost will probably not be lower than that of Mithril, and even if it is lower, it will not be much lower.

It is conceivable that the more you sell in this kind of transaction, the more you will lose money.

Maybe Imasca had to do this just to obtain the crystallization of arcane energy. After all, Xia Duo’s demand for Imasca was limited, either because the core interests could not be sold, or it was too cheap to gather so many arcana. A price that can crystallize.

Therefore, Xia Duo simply remained silent. He definitely didn't want to exchange only a batch of materials. Although energy-guiding materials such as Mithril are strategic materials in the arcane magic system, it is only because of their importance.

The scarcity is far from reaching the level of strategy. Not long ago, Xia Duo sold and auctioned Mythra and just harvested a large amount of Mithril. No matter how many materials there are on Imaska's side, it is just icing on the cake. .

Only the method of preparation of the material deserved his attention.

As the leading party in the negotiation, Xia Duo's silence clearly meant a stalemate in the negotiation. Because Xia Duo's demand for new materials was not so urgent, his attitude was extraordinarily calm.

This was seen by Prince Aben, and he was anxious in his heart. After a long time, Prince Aben finally couldn't help but speak first: "I don't know how much Master Athos knows about the power of creation. Imasca relied on thousands of Years of accumulation can keep down the cost of various materials, even if it is handed over to your preparation method, what is the meaning of high cost to you?"

Speaking of the power of creation, Xia Duo also thought that he hadn't really mastered the power of creation yet!As Prince Aben said, even if Imaska ​​gave him the preparation method, he would not be able to realize it.

At the same time, he was even more convinced that the Power of Creation had definitely been traded on the spot by Imaska. Thinking of the need to obtain a combination of secret weapons to perceive the Power of Creation from the other party, Xia Duo couldn't help but eased his attitude a lot.

"His Royal Highness said it well, but the last time I met His Royal Highness, I gave you a creation magic book. I studied it carefully in the past two days, and I have a strong interest in creation magic. I don't want to get these for the cost, but for accumulation. The preparation method of the energy-guiding material, I hope His Royal Highness will fulfill the heart of an apprentice who yearns for creation magic."

Xia Duo's words not only expressed his bottom line, but also gave Imaska ​​enough face. Although there is an element of acting, it is also his truest thought.

He is indeed very interested in creation magic, especially after seeing these two new materials today, he feels more and more that creation magic can complement arcane magic, or can complement the shortcomings of arcane magic.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo still decided to put forward his request. After all, this is the point where the other party manipulates him. Both parties know it well, and it doesn't matter who comes first. Agreed that you can use the Ao Neng crystal to control the other party.

Compromise with each other is the only way to reach an agreement. If you only want to take advantage of everything, then in the end, I am afraid that there is only one way to go.

So he continued:
"Yesterday, I studied the creation magic book and tried a variety of secret device coherence, but I still couldn't perceive the existence of the power of creation. I wonder if Imaska ​​has any experience in this area that can teach me?"

Xia Duo didn't directly talk about the secret weapon combination, but only said that he wanted to seek guidance. After all, the secret weapon combination was just his guess, and it was a more feasible solution, but what Imaska ​​had was not necessarily the case. scheme.

If we directly talk about the secret device combination, it might have inspired Imaska's new enlightenment plan, which can be quickly transformed into practical results for them who have already accumulated a lot in the creation magic system.

In other words, Xia Duo might give the other party a free trading chip with a single sentence, but he would not take it, so he asked for advice directly.

In this regard, Prince Aben was not surprised, but looked at another craftsman, Busta, and seemed to have reached an agreement before replying to Xia Duo:
"Master Athos, to tell you the truth, Imasca does have a method to assist in perceiving the power of creation, and we are willing to provide support to anyone who is interested in practicing creation."

Listening to Prince Aben's words, it seems that there is no need for any conditions. Xia Duo was overjoyed in his heart, "That's great, what is the method?"

"The method is not difficult. Ever since the split, His Majesty the Great Master of Artisans, Omanod, has come up with a method to protect the inheritance. Since the inheritance is to be protected, of course there is also a plan to assist in the perception of the power of creation. "

"Can I use it too?"

Xia Duo had already thought of the method. On the way here, he heard Percher mention that the contemporary Emperor Imascar had created a secret device for preserving inheritance, and for this reason he also actively provoked a lot of disputes.

But the question is, can this important inheritance of a country really allow an outsider to use it?Especially since Imaska ​​has long had a xenophobic tradition.

But Prince Aben’s answer is yes, but a certain price needs to be paid——

"Of course, we welcome anyone to join in the great practice of creation. It's just that it costs a lot to use the inheritance secret weapon once, and the price of this needs to be borne by Master Athos."
