Lord of Arcane

Chapter 709 News Promotion
Faced with the active conversation of Master Ace of Gilles Tower, Xia Duo behaved very flatly. Except for asking about the identity of the other party at the beginning, he seldom spoke later, but only motioned to the bartender Baker to continue the introduction.

In this introduction, Baker didn't try to sell simplified communication spells, but talked about an interesting story, which is also related to the new magic net background communication spell——

"Just a few days ago, someone took some communication artifacts and sold them outside the teleportation room of the Arcane Union, but happened to bump into the maker himself. It is rumored that the archmage felt that his work was being blocked and sold in this way. Annoyed, I immediately canceled the cooperation with that person."

"Has there already been a communication magic weapon corresponding to the magic net background communication spell?" Xia Duo said suddenly.

Maybe it was an occupational disease again, Baker immediately took over the conversation and started to sell again: "Guest, you are asking the right person, the chamber of commerce under the Seven Towers has started selling communication artifacts, and I also have a simplified version for sale here. "

After finishing speaking, Baker realized his mistake, his face turned pale, and he glanced at Ace across the way, seeing that Ace just glared at him, but didn't say anything, and continued, "Guest, you need to see the goods ?"

"Look at it!" Xia Duo didn't refuse.

In fact, the monthly magazine of the Arcane Union in August recorded several simple communication magic weapon schemes, and it also included a supporting spell [Twin Mark] specially developed by Xia Duo for adding friends to the communication magic weapon.

Soon, Baker took out a locked box from the backstage and opened it in front of Xia Duo. There were seven or eight magical items neatly placed inside.

The details of the appearance are different, but they can be roughly divided into crystal ball form and amulet form.

Baker carefully took out two representative communication artifacts, put them on the bar, pushed them gently towards the other side, and introduced at the same time:

"There is almost no limit to the communication distance of these two types of communication instruments, no matter how far apart they are, they can be connected normally, but the portability of these two types will be different due to the different forms, and of course the prices will also be different. This one is 1500 gold coins, and the one on the right is 3000! If the customer really wants to sell, within my authority, I can give the customer the biggest discount!"

1500 in crystal ball form and 3000 in talisman form?

Xia Duo looked at the two different forms of communication instruments on the bar, and fell silent, with only one thought in his mind - to get rich!
For the time being, there is only one form of communication magic weapon that can be manufactured by Tilak's research laboratory, which is the relatively common crystal ball form, but the total cost is less than 300 gold coins.

This is only the current cost. With the improvement of technology and the reduction of more and more labor costs for mages under the new system, the cost will definitely continue to be reduced.

This profit margin is too big!
Judging from Master Naishi's consistent style, Xia Duo guessed that the cost of the two communication instruments on the bar is estimated to be only about half of the selling price.

Of course, the labor of the manufacturer also accounts for about half of the cost, and it may even be higher.

But even so, the products of Tilak Lab still have considerable advantages!
Seriously, the material cost reduction brought by the [Eternal Magic] technology may not be as good as the labor cost reduction brought about by the decomposition process and gradient wages.

[Eternal Magic] The true power of technology can only be truly revealed when the price war starts in the future, and it is not obvious now.

"Can you show me another crystal ball?"

"no problem!"

Baker responded, and immediately turned around and took out a crystal ball from the unclosed box, and put it in front of Xia Duo, "Guests, you can look at it as you like!"

Having said this first, Xia Duo naturally would not be polite, and directly took one, and then cast [Identification] on it, and a faint white light gushed out, covering the entire crystal ball.

In this magic field similar to the "sandbox simulation space", Xia Duo clearly saw the internal operation status of this communication magic weapon.

Contrary to his expectations, this communication instrument did not take any encryption measures, and it was completely naked. That is to say, as long as anyone buys this communication instrument, it is equivalent to being given this simplified version of the communication tool. spell.

After that, Xia Duo checked two of them in a row, including a communication instrument in the form of a talisman. None of the three had taken any encryption measures.

Moreover, he also saw that these three communication instruments were not made by the same person. Although they have the same function, they all have distinct styles in the wiring details of the Mithril components.

If it was produced by the same person, Xia Duo would be even happier, which shows that even if it is produced by one person, the producer is not aware of the role of standardization.

It is estimated that this is done casually, and then handed over to the mage tower to sell it.

"Guest, which one do you want? Buy it now, and you will get an extra practical spell!"

"Is it [Twin Mark]?"

"Guest, how do you know!"

Baker suddenly realized how an arcanist would need to buy a communication magic weapon from him. Maybe one of the communication magic tools he had here came from the other party!
For a moment, Baker was a little overwhelmed. At this moment, Xia Duo dialed the two communication instruments towards him: "I want these two!"

"what--"

Baker was overjoyed immediately, and quickly took out a booklet from under the counter, and put it in front of Xia Duo, "Guest, this is the extra spell."

Regardless of whether the guests need it or not, the gifts that should be given are still indispensable, not to mention that this is also part of the task!
Xia Duo casually opened the booklet, and after seeing the contents, he couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic. It wasn't the familiar spells, but the way of describing magic in words, which reminded him of the days when he first learned spells.

Although Nether mages have already formed a relatively standard description language for recording spell details, it is still not as concise and intuitive as arcane geometry.

Since Xia Duo started learning arcane geometry, he rarely used the description method, and he never even thought about the question "what is the language description of [Twin Mark]".

When creating this spell, he recorded it through arcane geometry.

However, Xia Duo’s silence may be an expression of hesitation in the eyes of others, and Ace immediately found an opportunity, "Your Excellency Xia Duo, Baker received the sales task from me. If you really want to buy, I will There are two half-price permissions!"

"Then thank you Master Ace!"

Naturally, Xia Duo had no reason not to accept the benefits delivered to his door. This level of benefits still left no trace in his heart. He bought these two communication magic tools just for Tilak and the others to study and study, as a reference.

If you don't buy it here, it's the same if you buy it in other places. As an arcanist, you can always get a discounted price, and he is very clear about the cost problem.

What's more, Ace is not the maker, at most he can be regarded as a superior agent, and he is definitely not at a loss. It is Baker who is really uncomfortable!
Sure enough, as soon as Ace finished speaking, Baker's face drooped, and he smiled as soon as possible, but everyone could see that he was in a bad mood at the moment.
