Arcane Lord

In the lounge.

While drinking tea, Xia Duo flipped through the "Agriculture Book" that had just been sent out, waiting for Belera to bring him over.

Just as he was thinking about how this group of mages with lord backgrounds would treat this book, the doorbell alarm was triggered. The clear ringing of the jingle bell cheered up Xia Duo, and he felt that business finally came to his door.

"Come in!"

"Lord Chateau."

Seeing that Belera was the only one who came in, Shado couldn't help but be confused and asked: "Are you alone? Where are the others? Aldrin didn't come?"

"They are out there, customizing magic items. They can't be known to too many people."

Belera briefly explained, then added, "In addition to Aldrin, Anda Tlaib, and Fitch, they all made it clear that they wanted to order one."

Hearing Andatlaib's name, Shado thought thoughtfully. I'm afraid the situation in the south is really not good. As for Fitch, this is not the Seven Towers Mage, but the secret deacon of the Arcane Federation.

When Belera organized and prepared the exchange meeting, the first priority was high-level mages. Without these speakers, there would be only a group of middle and low-level mages, and it would not be an exchange meeting in Severton at all.

Secondly, Xia Duo specifically stated that he had a lord background. He was a lord, his parents and ancestors were lords, and he even had a good relationship with a lord in a certain place.

Sha Duo recalled it carefully, but could not find any further information about Fitch. Fortunately, Belera was here, so he asked bluntly:

"What's the background of Fitch?"

"Mage Fitch is the secret deacon of the Arcane Federation. He is also the younger brother of Lord Isaac in the central part of the country. He studied at Giles Tower when he was young, and later returned to the territory to compete for the position of lord. After failing, he joined the Arcana French Federation.”

"That's it!"

Xia Duo vaguely felt that there was some trouble here, so he asked again: "What do you think Feiqi thinks about the Isaac Territory now?"

"It's hard to say."

Belera also seemed to realize something, and her words were very cautious, "However, I heard that Lord Isaac once sent his favorite eldest son to Master Fitch to be an apprentice, and now the Isaac Territory is developing in the Cologne Plains. Xindi, maybe the relationship between them is not as unharmonious as outsiders think."

"I understand, please let Fitch in first."

"yes."

…

Soon, Belera went out and brought Fitch in, while she herself left the lounge and went out to entertain two other guests.

In the lounge, Fitch saluted respectfully to Shado, "Dear Lord Shado, Fitch Isaac sends his regards."

Xia Duo nodded and went straight to the point, "Master Feiqi, there is no need to be polite. I heard Belera said that you intend to customize a high-quality magic item?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know the price here?"

"I know, Belera has already told me that one hundred thousand gold coins, comes with mithril, and as a 'custom made by Grand Arcanist', I think the price is very reasonable, even a little low, and I can completely accept it."

Fitch didn't hesitate to express his thoughts.

Theoretically, an archmage or senior arcanist is enough to produce high-quality magic items, but not every archmage or senior arcanist is proficient in creation, and even a grand arcanist may not be proficient in creation.

Therefore, the high-quality magic items that can appear on the market are either pre-ordered early, or there are various hidden dangers that no one cares about.

The price is not acceptable to ordinary people. It is basically above 50,000 gold coins. There is no upper limit. It only depends on how high the demand for purchase is.

As for Xia Duo's asking price, the Mithril that comes with it is almost negligible compared to one hundred thousand gold coins. And one hundred thousand gold coins, let alone buying a customized version, even the so-called high-quality magic items circulating in the market are not worth it. You can definitely buy it.

Fitch didn't quite believe the news at first, but it wasn't until Aldrin and Anda Tlaib made it clear that they wanted to customize it that he quickly joined in, for fear of missing the trip.

As for whether this is a scam or a conspiracy, Fitch is not that worried. He thinks that he has nothing worthy of being specially set up by the Grand Arcanist.

Furthermore, as the secret deacon of the Austrian Law Federation, he has almost absolute trust in Congenio, and this trust extends to Iolum and Shado. Even with a few discounts, it is still more than others. a lot of.

…

Feiqi's firmness and trust were beyond Sha Duo's expectations. He had prepared the spell to sense the soul before the other party entered the door.

Even for high-level mages, even if they may not be able to detect the other party's specific thoughts, it is enough to judge whether the other party's words are consistent with their intentions.

Feiqi didn't lie, and he didn't look like he had gone through self-hypnosis. Xia Duo was deeply relieved that someone finally recognized the goods.

Actually thinking about it carefully, the few people he asked to spread the news, except for Ava, and others including Belera, may not have seriously publicized this matter.

At least it's not what Sha Duo expected, similar to the propaganda method on Earth.

For a moment, Xia Duo regretted finding a few people. If he had known earlier, he would have posted the task directly to the Austrian Law Federation. That would have been more efficient than now.

…

Next, Shado asked Fitch about his requirements for magic items.

In this regard, Fitch's answer was - "I hope to customize a high-quality detection magic item that can directionally search for various targets. It would be even better if it also has anti-detection capabilities!"

"Can."

Xia Duo thought for a moment and then agreed. Without asking the other party about the purpose of customizing this kind of magic item, he simply said a date, "In three days, come to Azure Manor to pick up the goods, is that okay?"

"Three days?"

Hearing this time, Feiqi's face was full of surprise, "Three days is too fast! I thought, thought -"

"Why? Procrastinate for more than half a year, then pretend to have failed countless times, and then ask for high prices?" Xia Duo said with a smile.

As far as he knew, many great mages played like this. Even if they had made an agreement in advance and received a deposit, they would most likely delay the process, and then wait until the delivery deadline was approaching before messing around a bit.

If you have a good character, you may deliver the goods directly, but if you have a bad character, you may start asking for exorbitant prices.

Occasionally, there are those who get out of hand and fail to produce the goods in the end. The result is that their character is ruined. If the contract signed in advance is a sacred contract, they will be blacklisted by the Lord of Glory.

Regarding Xia Duo's joke, Feiqi did not dare to continue, but just exclaimed, "I didn't expect Lord Xia Duo to have such profound attainments in the field of creation."

"Then can you accept three days?"

"Yes, that's great. I'll go back to raise money right away. Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, I will definitely send the payment to Azure Manor!"

It was already late at night. Even though he was enthusiastic in his heart, Fitch did not say that he would come to send money tomorrow. Mithril was easy to say. After working in the Austrian Law Federation for so many years, he had not saved anything else, but there was still no shortage of mithril. of.

But one hundred thousand gold coins are not so easy to come up with, and they need to be raised carefully.
