Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1649 Lei Senling's trip costs tens of billions
After confirming the time of the visit, Xia Duo put away the invitation letter. Two days later, he will rely on this invitation letter to go to Kiran Tower!
After that, Xia Duo chatted with Master Aldrin for a while. Of course, he mainly hinted at the benefits of introducing new customers. Unlike what he thought before, he didn't directly talk about returning gold coins.

He could see that a bloodline person like Aldrin who could easily give out [-] gold coins might not look down on his few gold coins.

Could he still introduce a new customer and give him back [-] gold coins?What else does he earn?

For the time being, I can only comfort the other party with intangible benefits. Speaking of which, Xia Duo actually does not resist to owe favors to others. After all, favors are all adults, so there is nothing unacceptable about this.

Just don't be too big a favor that you can't afford.

In a sense, this can be regarded as an expression of Xia Duo's "nature and kindness". If you were a person with no bottom line, you wouldn't care if you couldn't afford to repay certain favors.

……

After Master Aldrin left, even if the two recent orders were fully understood, Xia Duo could be regarded as letting go of some worries.

In the two days before visiting Kilan Tower, he planned to go to Leisenling before any new orders arrived.

Now that he has decided to make a lot of money from the bloodlines of Zilan Tower, the previously considered sale of high-grade Mithril can be given up for the time being.

However, most of the money he earned from customizing boutique magic item orders was gold coins, which needed to be converted into specific resources.

Otherwise, should he take a pile of gold and go back to build the floating city?
Of course, gold is also one of the building materials of the floating city, but gold is easy to obtain and does not require much consideration. The main thing that needs to be stored here is Mithril.

If it is before the [Mythra] device is successfully operated, Xia Duo still needs to prepare a large number of five-color gems or arcane crystals.

But now, these don't need to be considered.

He only lacks Mithril, a lot of Mithril!
……

Leisen collar.

Xia Duo's arrival didn't alarm anyone, except for Theremin, the lord of Leisen who had contacted in advance. After the two met in the teleportation room of the mage tower, they didn't stay long, but went directly to the mithril smelting in Leisen's collar workshop.

I haven't seen it for more than a year, and the place has changed. There was only one smelting furnace here before, but now there are three, and farther away, Xia Duo can still see four or five pillars of air with blue flames at the bottom rushing towards it. skyrim.

This means that there is at least one workshop for smelting Mithril in the distance.

Seeing Xia Duo looking into the distance, Lord Leisen explained in a timely manner: "The workshop here is mainly for smelting ores in the territory, while the one in the distance is for ores from outside."

"Lei Senling itself has mithril mines, do we still need to buy them from other places?" Xia Duo asked curiously.

It seems that they don't care, but in fact they care very much. Buying mines from other places means that Leisenling has become a distribution center for Mithril resources.

And what Xia Duo lacks most now is Mithril, so how could he not care about this!

In this regard, Lord Leisen's answer is - "Not all territories are capable of establishing their own mithril smelting workshops. There are technical reasons, cost control factors, or simply historical inertia.

"Those territories have always sold mithril mines to dwarves or elves in the past. Now my bid is higher, and I can also settle with standard mithril. There was no such good thing in the past, and they are happy to accept such conditions."

Although Lord Leisen did not directly answer Xia Duo's question, Xia Duo is not a fool. This is the development model of a mining tycoon!
I didn't expect Leisen collar to develop so fast after just over a year!

For spellcasters, mithril can be said to be a hard currency, and it has only been more than a year since Netheril opened up the mithril refining technology. Leisenling has taken the lead early, and the future can be expected!

"Then I don't know how much the standard mithril output of Leisenling is now?"

"If this question is asked by someone else, then I will definitely not be able to answer it, but if it is asked by Lord Xiaduo, I will say about 500 pounds."

"There are so many!"

Although Xia Duo thought that Lord Leisen would probably have reservations, this number still shocked him. You must know that in the past, the purchase share that the Tower of Time could obtain from the Arcane Union in a year was only 100 pounds.

But now, the monthly output of Leisen Territory alone is 500 pounds, and these mithrils can be directly circulated in the market, which is equivalent to the total amount of mithril in Netheril.

"Then what is the current standard Mithril price?" Xia Duo asked again.

"The average market price is around 600 gold coins."

Nearly one-fifth more expensive than before!

Although there are more Mithril in the market, the price has risen a lot. For this situation, Xia Duo has already been mentally prepared.

The price of Mithril, a hard currency, must be hard to come by. The current price increase may just be caused by Nether Mage's retaliatory consumption. After all, there was not as much Mithril in the past as it is now.

Of course, with the rise of mass-produced magic items, the demand for Mithril will also continue to rise, which may also drive up the price of Mithril.

In addition, with more mithril, mages will no longer be as restrained as they used to be, which will also bring a lot of demand.

Unless a number of giant mithril rich mines that are easy to mine are suddenly discovered in a certain place, it is possible that the price of mithril will drop in the short term, but it will continue to rise afterwards.

As long as there is no substitute for one day, the price of Mithril should be difficult to fall back.

Xia Duo suddenly realized that this node is simply the best time to buy Mithril.

On the one hand, Netheril has opened up the Mithril extraction technology, and the Three Kingdoms Mithril Agreement no longer requires Netheril to export Mithril, which makes it possible to purchase Mithril on a large scale.

On the other hand, Nether mages' huge demand for Mithril has not yet been highlighted. Although there may be a burst of price increases caused by retaliatory consumption for the time being, there will definitely be a short period of decline later.

When the demand soars, the current Mithril price may be gone forever, and if you want to buy Mithril at the current price, you may have to wait until the day when the production capacity is oversupplied.

As for which day it is, it is difficult for Xia Duo to speculate.

After all, the development of Nether magic is changing with each passing day, and it is almost predictable that once a large mithril consumer like Floating Void City appears, the mithril production capacity will be difficult to oversupply.

At present, the floating city designed by Xia Duo needs to consume at least [-] pounds of standard Mithril, of course including all internal facilities at this time.

If the current Mithril market price is converted into gold coins, it would cost almost 6000 million gold coins.

Calculated based on the current monthly income of 30 gold coins in the Tower of Time, it will take about 17 years to save up enough gold coins. If other materials are included, it may take longer.

Of course, the construction of the Floating Void City can be carried out in stages, and Xia Duo has indeed done so. If you really need to save up all the resources in advance to start construction, then you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!
　1 gold coin is almost equivalent to 200 yuan, and 6000 million gold coins is 120 billion. For a city with complete facilities, this cost is already very low.

In reality, Musk seems to have mentioned that building a Mars city may cost ten trillion dollars, which is really too exaggerated. . .
