Arcane Lord

Remember [New] in a second! It wasn't that Xia Duo was trying to pinch Cliff on purpose, but that the archarcanists were not in harmony. If one of the two archarcanists who had conflicts and even hatred with each other was allowed to get Mythra first.

No one can guarantee whether he will wipe out his opponent immediately after he completes the configuration of war spells. Floating Void City is Floating Void City, Mythra is Mythra, Floating Void City just provides a movable launch base.

Judging from the current territory of Netheril, the distance between the great arcanists who have hatred and hatred will never exceed the limit distance that can normally trigger war spells.

Once a fight starts, it will be very difficult to end. Even if the Northland Alliance is pulled out, the country will not buy it or not. At worst, everyone will die together. There are such extreme people among the great arcanists.

In addition, the possibility of elves infiltrating must also be considered. For example, Doraison Hawke, who also has a lot of grievances with Xiaduo, if Mythra is obtained by the elves, although it may not be able to cause a fatal blow to Netheril, But it will definitely weaken Netheril's strategic advantage in the field of magic.

Therefore, for Yin Aureum, who puts the overall situation first, it will be extremely difficult to choose who will give the first Mythra device.

If you have to give it away, then you can only prepare multiple seats in advance and match them to the relevant interested parties at the same time, so that everyone can deter each other, then there will be no big problem.

As for Xia Duo, he didn't need to think about it that much. Even as long as he wanted, he could deliberately provoke some conflicts and cause trouble for the Seven Towers.

But this is unnecessary, no matter how the great arcanists clash, they will eventually suffer from the lowest level of ordinary people, and the most important thing is that as long as they fail to destroy the body and soul of their opponents on the spot, then there must be a compromise.

Otherwise, where did the current situation come from! Do you really think that just one Mythra device can turn the world upside down?

And the reason why he chose Cliff was to some extent because the other party basically had no enemies, and even if there were differences of opinion, they would not fight at all.

More importantly—Cliff is a glorious priest who has sensed the holy power and received divine grace. He is consistent with his words and deeds, and his appearance is the same. His behavior is relatively predictable, and he belongs to the safer category.

Therefore, even if Cliff could not offer the price that Xiaduo wanted in the end, he would first offer Mythra to the other party to strengthen the strength of the order camp in Netheril. He was not worried at all that Cliff would not return the price. money.

Instead of worrying about this, it is better to worry about the other party being killed by a meteorite when he goes out.

As for not being able to afford it, there is no need to worry. Being able to build six mage towers is enough to show how rich Cliff is, and the other party has students.

Lord Leisen, who owns a mine at home, has a son who is a student of Cliff. In fact, this is one of the important reasons why Xia Duo first considered Cliff.

"Your Excellency Cliff, how do you think about it? Do you choose to buy it from me or from my teacher?"

"This is actually not a multiple-choice question!"

Cliff smiled wryly, and then his eyes became firm, "I choose Lord Xiaduo, because I don't know how much an independent Austrian fire device will cost, and how long it will take to deliver it?"

"Not expensive, not expensive, compared to the benefits it can bring, not at all."

Although he hadn't started talking about the price yet, judging from the smile that was almost visible to the naked eye on Xia Duo's face, Cliff felt that the price was probably not much cheaper, and he suddenly felt his heart throbbing inexplicably.

"How much, please let Lord Xia Duo give you an accurate figure. If it exceeds my current budget, I'm afraid I can only pay in installments."

"A total of 20 million gold coins, settled in Mithril."

"Twenty million?!"

Upon hearing this number, Cliff subconsciously widened his eyes. For a moment, he even felt that he had heard it wrong, but his super high perception made him realize that he hadn't heard it wrong just now, it was 20 million!

You must know that it costs less than one million gold coins to build a regular mage tower in Netheril. If you save a little more in all aspects, it can be built with as little as hundreds of thousands.

And the cost of an eleventh-level mage tower with complete internal functions and facilities of the grand arcanist level is only about 10 million. If the grand arcanist himself is involved in the construction as much as possible, it can save a lot of expenses.

But now, just a single independent Austrian fire device, without any other supporting facilities, costs 20 million yuan. Even if Cliff has a small fortune, he is deeply shocked.

The accumulation of wealth takes time, but it may only take a moment to spend it.

Cliff suddenly didn't want the independent Austrian fire device. After all, he only had such a wish. The two parties had just discussed the price, and it would not be considered a breach of contract to refuse at this time.

"Lord Xiaduo, are you serious about this price?"

"Of course it's serious. It can't be more serious. Even if you ask my teacher, he can't be much lower than me. I'll just say a little bit, and you'll probably understand."

"Well, please say—"

"An independent Austrian fire device, the main part alone contains millions of magic elements!"

"Millions?!"

A million is a huge number. Even people who don't know much about magic will feel intimidated by such a number. For Cliff, although he is not too intimidated, because he knows the essence of magic elements, so I was even more shocked by this number.

Generally speaking, an ordinary spell, no matter how high its level is, involves at most a few hundred elements, not more than one thousand. Only a few ritual spells involve more than one thousand elements.

This is because the number of spell elements is directly related to the casting time, the more elements, the longer the casting time, and the caster chooses magic, many of which are to save trouble, if using magic is more troublesome than not using magic, then why use it? ?

Knowing the number of spell elements, you can roughly estimate the material carrier and labor cost of the elements.

The independent Austrian fire device is a strategic facility. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can refer to high-quality magic items for the quality of materials and labor costs. Then, an independent Austrian fire device with millions of elements is almost a hundred times the cost of a high-quality magic item. .

That is about three hundred to five million.

Of course, this is only the main body. If other ancillary facilities are counted, it may be around 10 million, but this is still 10 million short of the 20 million that Xia Duo said!

However, Cliff did not offer to bargain because of this. He is too aware of the unspoken rules within the caster group. It is a routine operation to double the cost or even several times to sell it.

After all, the research cost in the early stage must be shared by others. If it is a conventional magic item, it can win by quantity, but for a strategic facility like an independent Austrian fire device, there is no way to recover the research cost by this method.

It is completely understandable that the single-piece premium doubles, and it may not be without the cost of expediting.

After such a calculation, Cliff felt that 20 million should be regarded as very conscientious. If it was him who operated it, it could at least double it.

Anyway, except for the Seven Towers, there are only here. If you don’t buy it, someone else will buy it.
