Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1714

According to Xia Duo's understanding, since the Crown War, the armaments of the elves in the Northland have continued to relax, so there is no need to think about the mage group. Even Comanthor does not have an organized mage group, let alone Evereska. .

The real combat power is basically the high-level mage.

The remaining units capable of casting spells such as mages and swordsingers can basically be regarded as the second line, and those patrols wearing [guardians], although they are regular troops in name, may actually be inferior to the second line.

Unless it has the ability to cast spells, otherwise it all depends on equipment, how much combat power can it have against a real spell caster?
The elves' standard magic equipment is far from being developed to the point where it can smooth out the ability of individuals to cast spells!

A standard equipment for third-line combatants, for a big country, may spend a lot of effort to research, manufacture, install, and store, but for a small city-state like Evereska——

It is estimated that research and development is useless, and they can only eat their laurels. At the same time, it is unlikely to manufacture too much equipment itself.

After all, it is only the standard equipment for third-line personnel, and it is enough to have a little appearance. If it really costs a lot of money to manufacture, it is better to spend the money on training new mages.

In this way, the improvement of national strength may be even greater!
Xia Duo guessed that Larian would be able to bring a hundred pieces of [Armor of the Guardian] this time, and I am afraid that they must be picked off from the current patrol personnel!
The truth may not be much different from Xia Duo's guess. When he said at least one hundred sets, a trace of hesitation appeared on Larian's face.

According to the other party's previous quotation, 1000 sets, [-] sets is [-] million. This is not a small amount. With such a large order, how could you hesitate?

Only one thing -

There may not be enough stock there!

Xia Duo reported at least one hundred sets, the subtext is that he has at least one hundred sets of [Guardian] arcane crystals, and at the same time, he defaults that Larian can bring one hundred pieces of [Guardian Armor], and the remaining parts of that set It can also be delivered immediately, or in a short time.

Where is the hesitation?There is no doubt that it is a delivery problem.

La Ryan mentioned earlier that this transaction has been approved by the Council of Elders, so it cannot be a problem with the transaction itself. When the other party proposed a new settlement plan with Ao Neng Crystal, he did not object, but asked about the order quantity.

That is to agree to the settlement of the Ao Neng Crystal by default, at least in Xia Duo's view, and the two sides also have such a tacit understanding.

The only thing Larian didn't expect was the number of Arcane Crystals Shaduo possessed. As a newly promoted Grand Arcanist, Xia Duo certainly couldn't save many Arcane Crystals. If he wanted to buy them outside, ordinary mages might be able to buy them, but Who would sell it to the Grand Arcanist?
As long as Xia Duo spreads the word that he wants to buy the Arcane Crystals, I am afraid that all the Arcane Crystals in the market will disappear immediately.

The only use for the Grand Arcanist to raise the Arcane Crystals may be that he is preparing to go to war with someone, and he will still use the Arcane Crystals for a protracted battle!
Under normal circumstances, a grand arcanist can have a surplus of arcane energy crystals, and there is no need to buy them out.

In Larian's eyes, Xia Duo said that the settlement with the Ao Neng crystal may only offset part of the payment, and the rest will still be settled with gold coins, so that the order quantity will be relatively controllable.

The Great Xia Territory is still a new land without a mature economic system. Xia Duo's only stable source of funds is the Tower of Time.

And the income of the Tower of Time can basically be estimated as long as one has the heart.

but--

[Mythra] The existence of the device is not known to everyone, and this creates a huge variable.

At this time, Xia Duo also realized that there might be some hidden dangers in what he just said, so he quickly added:
"Elder Larian, I said at least one hundred sets. I don't want them right away. After all, I can't afford that many gold coins or arcane crystals. I hope to deliver these one hundred sets in installments."

Larian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He didn't want Xia Duo to know that the current Evereska couldn't even get a hundred complete [Guardian] suits. He calmed down as much as possible, and then he continued:
"Then I wonder how many sets Lord Xiaduo plans to purchase in the first phase?"

"The suit is good, but for big summer collars with limited financial resources, I think it may be more realistic to buy them separately."

When it comes to the specific order situation, it is impossible for Xia Duo to make the same argument as before, [Armour of the Guardian] 2, [Shield of the Guardian] 1, and [Lance of the Guardian] 3.

But in fact, the territory does not need many high-end offensive weapons for the time being. His initial goal is only the flying armor, which is used to improve the mobility of the territory guard.

I just didn't expect Evereska to even sell [Guardian's Shield] and [Guardian's Gun]. This is of course a good thing for Xia Duo, but it's a big deal if you don't have money.

"Lord Xiaduo's choice is wise, and flexible orders are of course also possible, but I don't know how Lord Xiaduo wants to arrange it?"

Larian did not refuse Shaduo's flexible order. In fact, Evereska did the same. [Armor of the Guardian] is available to all patrol members, but [Shield of the Guardian] is only available to the captain, or the team members self-purchase.

As for the [Guardian's Gun], there is only a small amount of reserves in the armory. The patrol team can only be called by the captain using the storage device directly connected to the armory after the declaration is passed. It is not equipped on a daily basis, and self-purchase is not allowed. .

And Xia Duo's choice, to a certain extent, coincides with Evereska's current situation, "In the first phase, I need 10 pieces of [Guardian's Armor], and as for the shield and spear, I need [-] pieces each!"

Basically, he collected all the 240 pieces of flying armor that Larian brought this time, and added another batch of shields and spears, a total of [-] million gold coins, which is not a small amount for Xia Duo.

The annual net income of the Tower of Time is a little more than this.

If you don't use the Ao Neng crystal settlement, Xia Duo really wants to play the game of paying in installments.

240 million gold coins, converted into arcane crystals at the current market price, are only 480 standard arcane crystals. If calculated based on the output efficiency of the [Mythra] device on the blue crystal plane every 3 seconds, it is not enough. Only 24 minutes of output though.

This reminded Xia Duo of a spoof picture he had seen before crossing, saying that the richest man wanted to save money to buy a luxury car, a few 12345, well, here it is.

He feels similarly now.

It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be done forever. When the [Mythra] device is released, even if the export of arcane crystals to elves is restricted, it is impossible to have such a high price in real settlement!
Taking advantage of the ability to cut, it is natural to want to cut it in a big way, but Xia Duo is not going to do it on the main plane, after all, if it is too much, it will easily arouse public anger.

Not only the bitter elves, but also those Nether mages who failed to harvest the elves' leeks.
