Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1724
In Xia Duo's impression, there are not many valuable specialties in the etheric plane, and most things from the etheric plane cannot be brought back to the material plane.

Of course, all that can be brought back are good things. Although it may not be useful for the time being, it is at least a thought.

After hiding his identity and entering Base No. 3, Xia Duo found that there were quite a few people in the base, mainly concentrated on the two streets, one horizontal and one vertical, and these two streets were almost full of stalls.

And the items on these stalls are also varied, almost everything, Xia Duolai circled around, and finally stopped in front of a stall with the most variety.

Seeing a sorcerer stop in front of his booth, the stall owner immediately greeted him warmly, "My lord sorcerer, what do you like, tell Old Barry, I will definitely give you the best price!"

This was so proficient that Xia Duo doubted whether the best price mentioned by the other party was the highest or the lowest. However, if there is a free explanation, it is also appropriate to give some money, so he asked the stall owner:
"It's the first time I've come here. It stands to reason that only high-level mages dare to enter the etheric plane to hunt. Why are there still many ordinary adventurers?"

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Mage, those adventurers are actually trapping etheric creatures around the base. You also saw some flesh, bones, fur and other materials in my booth, which are consigned by adventurers."

"What about this painting?" Xia Duo asked, pointing to the picture frame that occupied a large area on the booth, and judging from the height, there were at least five or six paintings lower.

"This painting was also consigned by adventurers, and some of them were brought back by Master Mage who went outside."

"Not a consignment?"

"This—" the stall owner seemed a little embarrassed, looked at Xia Duo, then looked at other stall owners around, and finally said in a low voice, "These paintings can't be taken out, and the mage gave them to us at a low price."

"So it is!"

Xia Duo pretended to be enlightened and nodded. The performance of the stall owner was still too heavy for him. Did he deliberately show his sincerity in order to gain his favor, so as to have an additional acquisition channel?Still preparing to cut his leeks?
"Then how are these paintings sold?"

"Isn't your lord from the Seven Towers?" the stall owner asked tentatively.

"How did you see it?"

"I have paintings sold to me by the mage of the Seven Towers here. If the Lord is from the Seven Towers, it should not be difficult to buy them inside the Seven Towers, and he won't even stay here."

But in the end, the voice of the stall owner became smaller and smaller, and finally asked cautiously: "Adult, do you really like these paintings?"

"No, just ask the price, isn't it okay?"

"Yes, yes, you can, sir, just ask. These paintings are called [Old Illusion] by the adults of the Seven Towers. Different prices are set according to the degree of completeness. Most of the paintings on my side are relatively complete. The lowest price is 200 gold coins." .”

When the other party said the price of 200 gold coins with a serious face, Xia Duo really felt an indescribable sense of disobedience. To him, 200 gold coins might not be as good as the ones leaked between his fingers.

But for ordinary people, it may take at least a year to save so many gold coins (salary analogy, about 4 RMB).

The people who have been granted land in the Xia Duo territory participate in the pioneering work organized by the pioneering department, and the minimum wage is 100 gold coins per month.

And if you choose to start your own business, such as Lear who opened a tavern, it is really casual to earn dozens of gold coins a day, which is relatively conservative.

At present, the business field of Daxia collar is almost blank. As long as those who enter the market first are not stupid, they can almost make a lot of money. Those who enter the market later, even if they are subsidized, their income will not be less than that of working in the development department too much.

But even so, 200 gold coins is not a small sum for them.

Probably only adventurers or mages can take out this money at will!
And these 200 gold coins are already the manufacturing cost of the Tower of Time's first-generation communication magic weapon. If everyone in the territory can afford the communication magic weapon, more efforts are needed to transfer wealth.

At the same time, it is also necessary to continuously tap the creative potential of ordinary people, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain unilateral output for a long time.

……

Seeing Xia Duo staring at the painting and falling silent, the stall owner Barry couldn't help but say:
"Do you need to buy one, my lord? The Arcane Federation sells magic scrolls used to fix this kind of painting in the shops in the base. After using it, you can bring it back to the main plane, just like the one on the ether plane outside [ Illusions of the Past] can be sold for at least 500 gold coins!"

"It's such a good thing that you can make money so easily, haven't you done it?" Xia Duo asked back.

"This - I haven't learned how to use that magic scroll yet. If I learn it, I will definitely do it!"

Xia Duo couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Barry's swearing, "I advise you not to do this, first go and find out how much the transaction volume is outside!"

In fact, even if the transaction volume is not bad, Xia Duo is not going to do this. On the one hand, the small money of hundreds of thousands is too slow to earn, and on the other hand, he thinks that this may be a thing Qita made to cut leeks.

Xia Duo could see the essence of these paintings almost at a glance. It is indeed like the name of the Seven Towers - [Old Illusion], which is a manifestation of certain scenes from the owner plane on the ether plane.

The caster can reproduce these scenes through some means, but that's all.

The spellcaster could directly summon the phantoms of the past on the main plane, which is much more complete and accurate than the transformation through the etheric plane.

How valuable are these paintings really, why didn't the Seven Pagodas directly digest them internally?
Like now, on the two streets of Base No. 3, not to mention that there is this ether version of [Old Illusion] on every booth, but if all the paintings are averaged, at least two or three copies can be allocated to each booth.

With that much quantity, the value pretty much speaks for itself.

……

Just when Xia Duo was about to ask about other items on the booth, the stall owner at the booth next to him poked his head and said mysteriously:
"I heard that someone found a mage's secret treasure on the main plane through a painting not long ago. I wonder if it's true?"

"I've heard that too." Another stall owner also began to echo.

But their words, in Xia Duo's view, are full of loopholes, not to mention who the serious mages will create some secrets outside, even if there is a secret, how could the news come here.

It happened that when he was feeling a little bit down, he was told by the people next to him.

What a coincidence!
But it doesn't matter if you buy one, Xia Duo is really curious about what he can see through [Illusions of the Past]. He hasn't mastered the means to detect the illusions of the past, so it would be nice to experience the ether version first.

It's only a few hundred gold coins anyway!

Thinking in this way, Xia Duo pointed to the picture frame on the ground, and several overlapping picture frames suddenly floated up, spreading out one by one in front of him.
