Arcane Lord

I see!

Sha Duo suddenly understood. He found that he had some misunderstandings. Imasca's creation magic system is based on secret weapons. After a secret weapon is created, in theory anyone can use it, not just craftsmen. myself.

In other words, secret weapons have a low threshold that is unmatched by magical weapons in the Western Continent. The civilian use of magic that Sha Duo has been planning is not a problem at all in Imasca!

At least from a technical perspective, Imaskar craftsmen do not need to make any additional designs for the secret weapon, and ordinary people can use it normally.

This is the characteristic of the secret weapon, this is the characteristic of the creation magic system!

Thinking of this, Sha Duo became even more enthusiastic about this magic system. Although it would not transform the system, some of its advantages could be applied to the Nese magic system.

"Tax officer Jam, bring one of these baking boxes and negotiate a preferential price for me!"

"no problem!"

Jam turned around and whispered a few words to the two accompanying Mulan people, and then turned back to discuss with Sha Duo, "These baking boxes are not expensive, but even one of them is not a small sum. How is Master Athos going to settle the matter?"

"Of course, use arcane crystals, and settle at the price you negotiated before!"

"Mage Athos is joking. You said before that the quantity of this kind of energy gem is limited, but now it should not be so limited. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to use the previous price."

"What's inappropriate about this? Is the price of something completely determined by quantity? I can tell you that this kind of energy gem is of extremely high quality. You can only get such a cheap price here because I have a mine. I understand. ?"

"Mage Athos, although this kind of energy gem is indeed good, Imasca also has energy gems. If the price is too high, it is better to use local gems!"

"I agree with this, but I also think that for the most demanding craftsmen, this kind of gemstone is definitely not to be missed. I have confidence in my gemstone, and it is worth the price!"

Not to mention that the news of Mythra has not yet reached Imaskar, even if it has been passed, as long as the Imaskars fail to obtain Mythra, Shado is not prepared to sell the arcana crystal at a low price.

This has nothing to do with output or production capacity, but as he said, the Aoneng crystal is worth the price. If the price is reduced too much, it will make people push for the next step and try to buy at a lower price.

At Sha Duo's insistence, Jam finally agreed to the initial settlement price.

However, Xia Duo didn't mean to go it alone. Although he was stuck on the settlement price of the arcane crystals, he didn't care too much about the purchase price of the goods here.

He was more interested in watching the bargaining process of a Mulan "haggler", and was quickly stopped by him when he couldn't understand the conversation.

"Tax officer Jam, tell the merchant to take the current price and give it a 20% discount. If you agree, we will trade now. If you don't agree, I will go elsewhere."

"yes."

Although Jam was a little reluctant, he still helped Xia Duo pass on the final offer. Perhaps it was the Imaskans who came forward, or perhaps he felt that Xia Duo, a foreigner, did not seem to be cheating, so the store manager quickly agreed. accepted Xia Duo's request.

Of course, during this process, Shado also began to learn some simple Rushum words from Jamu, starting with numbers, so as not to really be taken advantage of.

After all, many products in this mall have marked prices. When bargaining, just cut the price to zero or give it a 50% discount. He believes that the other party will definitely still make a profit.

If you don't agree, just leave. Anyway, it's not just one family or two.

The most important thing is that Xia Duo doesn't have a clear goal yet. But after discovering that the degree of civilian use of magic here is already very high, he thinks he can purchase a batch of "household appliances" and go back to give Jay a try.

…

After leaving the baking box stall, Xia Duo visited several shops selling secret weapons, but he was not satisfied with what he bought.

"Tax Officer Jam, please take us to the place where puppets are sold."

"puppet?"

Jam immediately hesitated, not because the puppets involved secrets, but - "Mage Athos, I'm sorry, there is no shop selling puppets here."

"Why? Didn't you say that all Inupras products can be found here?"

"This this--"

Jam's face turned red and he was speechless for a long time. In the end, he could only give a vague explanation, "Maybe the adults responsible for managing this commercial area have ignored this!"

"Then take me to see the secret weapons used in battle!"

"This, this - secret weapons used in combat are generally not sold to the outside world." Jam looked embarrassed, but finally gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, providing some convenience.

"If Master Athos really wants to buy it, I will think of a way."

"Then I'll trouble the Jam tax collector."

After saying that, Xia Duo also stuffed two arcane crystals into Jam's hand. Although he believed that the other party's daring to do so was definitely within the scope of his authority, it was still up to the other party to decide what kind of goods he could see. It is natural to give some benefits.

"Mage Athos is so polite, how embarrassing it is, how embarrassing it is!"

Having said that, Jamu did not return the two arcane crystals to Shado, but solemnly put them away, and then started to lead the way with a smile on his face.

…

Following Jia Mu, Xia Duo and his entourage made many twists and turns, even going down to the underground of the shopping mall, and finally stopped in front of a shop that was so deserted that no one was even looking at it.

"right here?"

"Yes, this shop specializes in selling some outdoor products. Even though it is so deserted now, it used to be lively when there were many adventurers."

"When there were many adventurers in the past? Are there none now?"

"cough--"

Jam wanted to slap himself several times. At the same time, he also felt that this Athos mage was too difficult to deal with. He quickly explained: "There are some now, but the situation has not been very good in recent years. Most of the low-level adventurers are Choosing a more stable career.”

"I see!"

Xia Duo didn't ask further, but he felt that this must be related to the chaos outside. Those adventurers might not have chosen a more stable livelihood, but might have chosen to become rebels!

While they were talking, an old man wearing strange goggles came out of nowhere and started to chirp at Xia Duo and others.

Xia Duo didn't think anything, but Jam's expression changed drastically and he immediately pulled Xia Duo away.

"Jam Tax Collector, what did he say?"

"He said I wasn't welcome."

"..."

Xia Duo wanted to laugh, but felt that it was rude to slap him in the face like this, so he asked, "Why don't you let me communicate with him?"
