Arcane Lord

Seeing Mrs. Patty again, Shado noticed that the look on her face was much better than last time. She was dressed in a long black dress and decorated with some exquisite jewelry, which made her look quite calm and elegant.

Even though Xia Duo had seen all kinds of beauties on the earth, his eyes lit up and he took the initiative to say hello:

"Mrs. Patty, long time no see!"

"Master Xia Da, it's not been a long time since we last met. We just met the day before yesterday. It's just that you didn't see me." Mrs. Patty covered her mouth with a smile, stretched out her hand and said, "Sir, please come in!"

Walking into the living room, the two of them sat down respectively. The maid quickly brought tea and snacks. At this time, Sha Duo also noticed that on the small table next to Mrs. Patty's seat, there was not tea or snacks, but a stack of tea and snacks. Stack documents.

Xia Duo didn't pay much attention, took a sip of the familiar elf hot drink, and then asked: "Mrs. Patty, who came to me this time -"

"Congratulations, sir, on becoming the pioneer of the empire!" Mrs. Patty's voice was very sincere, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

But Xia Duo knew that the person in front of him should be worshiping the title of "Pioneer" rather than himself. This worship might even be fake.

"Mrs. Patty, there is no need to congratulate you. Let's get down to business. It's getting late." Sha Duo looked at the darkening sky outside and reminded.

cough--

Mrs. Patty concealed her embarrassment and said, "Sir, I heard that you are planning to open up territory in the Green Pearl Forest?"

"How do you know?" Xia Duo was startled and asked subconsciously.

But then he realized that he had overreacted. With the unclear relationship between Mrs. Patty and the lord, it was not impossible for him to reach an agreement with the lord.

Mrs. Patty knew that Shado might have misunderstood something, and quickly explained: "The other two pioneers left the Savile Territory yesterday with the Archmage Greta, and later I heard that someone had obtained it in the Green Bead Forest. The right to develop, and then I think of you, my lord.”

So that’s it. Although Xia Duo was a little surprised by Mrs. Patty’s various “hearings”, she didn’t go into details. “It’s true. I got an independent territory in the Green Pearl Forest. I don’t know what advice Madam has.” ?”

"My lord is joking, I don't dare to give you any advice." Mrs. Patty's face became slightly nervous, "It's just that I don't know if your lord needs support to expand the territory?"

"Support?" Of course Xia Duo needs support, but can you give it for free? Thinking about it, I knew it was impossible. "Ma'am, please elaborate."

Mrs. Patty first glanced at the paperwork on the small table next to her, pursed her lips, and said firmly: "Your Excellency, you need manpower and materials to expand your territory, such as lumberjacks, coolies, farmers, seeds, tools, etc. These Liaton The Chamber of Commerce can provide it!”

After saying that, she looked at Xia Duo nervously. The Liaton Chamber of Commerce had undergone some bad changes recently, and she needed to make more plans for the future of the Chamber of Commerce.

Because this is what Fairbus has been fighting for his whole life.

Sha Duo thought carefully about Mrs. Patty's words. He had never done anything like opening up territory, but he still knew some common sense.

It is nothing more than pioneering to drive away wild beasts and aliens, then cutting down trees, clearing a clearing, building a stronghold, and then farming, but the details need to be carefully considered.

Seeing Mrs. Patty's nervous look, Sha Duo suddenly felt a little happy, "I do need a lot of manpower and supplies, but I don't have that many gold coins to pay for it!"

"No, sir, no gold coins are needed."

"You don't need gold coins? Then what do you want?" Xia Duo never believed in good things like pie in the sky. If you don't want gold coins, then what the other party wants must be more expensive than gold coins.

However, as long as Xia Duo's bottom line is within his limits, he is still willing to accept transactions from others. After all, a transaction means there are common interests, and he has no reason to refuse.

He wanted to see what Mrs. Patty had to say.

"Sir, I hope to obtain the magic items made by you, as well as the business rights of the future territory."

"That's all?" Xia Duo was surprised.

He felt that this was not a deal at all, it was simply a benefit that was delivered to his door. First of all, he needs to make magic items. If he doesn't make them, they won't exist. The so-called business rights are also based on the successful development of territory.

In other words, the content of Mrs. Patty's transaction was basically Xia Duo's credit. If it were someone with a shady heart, he would probably eat all the skin and bones.

Chateau looked at the young and beautiful Mrs. Patty, and felt a little complicated. He knew that he was overthinking, but he still couldn't help but wonder if the other party was attracted to him.

However, after careful discussion, Xia Duo realized that the original transaction was just to exchange gold coins for magic items. Even if he could default on the payment, he would still need to pay interest.

As for the right to do business, that is only incidental.

As for the specific price, although Mrs. Patty is not very good at bargaining, she still fights for the maximum benefit based on reason.

By this time, Xia Duo had completely put down his pretense as a mage and bargained with Mrs. Patty like an ordinary hawker.

Developing a territory is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, in other words, a lot of gold coins.

Now even if you just give 1 silver coin on a scroll, it will involve countless interests in the future.

Xia Duo came without any preparations. All he could know about were the finished products and selling prices of the scrolls he could make.

As for other more advanced scrolls, as well as potions, wands and other magic items, he didn't know anything about them. He only knew the approximate prices, but this obviously couldn't be used to negotiate deals.

In the end, it was difficult for the two to reach an agreement on the specific magic items, and they could only agree on the market price on the day of delivery.

Xia Duo settled with magic items at a price that was half a percent lower than the market price, while Mrs. Patty needed to provide detailed expenditure reports, specific to each person and each seed.

This result is acceptable to both parties and can be considered a win-win cooperation.

Chateau overdrafted the future and got what he needed now, and Mrs. Patty was equivalent to becoming the general agent of the "Shaddow brand" magic items.

Shado cannot sell magic items to other chambers of commerce before repaying the debt.

The last step of the cooperation was the contract. Xia Duo was worried that the other party would not fulfill it, and the other party might also be worried that he would default on his debt. The two almost proposed the contract at the same time.

"Sir, I have prepared the contract." Mrs. Patty picked up the small bell on the table and shook it gently.

After a moment, the butler came in with a tray, bent down and handed the tray to Mrs. Patty. On the tray was a piece of parchment that looked very ordinary.

But in Sha Duo's magical vision, this parchment shone with misty holy light, full of order and ruthlessness.

This is the sacred contract of the Lord of Glory!
