Arcane Lord

————It will be later~~

Only now did Prince Aben realize how outrageous his previous remarks about "filling this hall" were. Even the price of one hundred thousand arcane crystals was unacceptable to him. If he wanted to "fill this hall" "Hall", I'm afraid I have to sell Imasca to afford it!

"Master Athos, I bought so much at one time. Even based on the retail price, it is exaggerated, let alone the price increase. Isn't this inappropriate?"

Prince Aben used the general commodity transaction rules to counter-offer. Sha Duo could understand, but did not accept it, "Your Highness, you have also understood that arcane crystals can only be handmade by arcanists.

"And one more thing I need to remind you is that arcanists consume arcane crystals when casting spells. In other words, every arcanist will reserve arcane crystals as much as possible to prepare for various emergencies. This strategy How can supplies be sold at reduced prices like ordinary commodities?”

These words immediately choked Prince Aben speechless. Now is a seller's market. No matter how high Xia Duo's price is, as long as Prince Aben really has this demand, he will have to gnash his teeth and bleed.

Then, seeing that Prince Aben remained silent, Xia Duo gave him another shot, "I originally thought that Prince Aben proposed to fill this hall with arcane crystals. I thought I had already made sufficient preparations, but I didn't expect that it was just The crystallization of one hundred thousand arcana—"

"..."

After hearing this, Prince Aben's expression changed. In the end, he did not say any counter-offer, but changed the subject, "I heard Jam mention it before that Master Athos is looking for some kind of material?"

"I can't hide it from His Highness the Prince. I was indeed looking for a new material, but unfortunately I couldn't find it here."

"Currently, there are very few types of materials in Imasca's external transaction list. I have asked the great master of craftsmen for instructions on this point. Your Majesty has agreed to open the material list of the Secret Artifact Research Institute to you. I believe that you will be able to have it. Gained.”

"I hope so!" Xia Duo was not very happy about this.

Just opening the list doesn't mean much. The key is if Imasca really finds the material he wants, will Imasca be willing to sell it to him?

And what about the manufacturing method that he cares about most?

These are all pitfalls, but fortunately the other party still needs arcane crystals, otherwise he might not even be able to see the so-called "Material List of the Secret Artifact Research Institute".

Although Xia Duo showed little interest, Prince Aben still enthusiastically introduced the material advantages of Imasca: "Creation Magic has very unique advantages in the discovery and creation of new materials. If you use secret weapons I can’t find your material in the institute’s material list, and believe me, you won’t find it anywhere else either.”

"Yeah?"

Xia Duo couldn't help but be aroused by the other party's confident assurance, "If we can really find the kind of material I want, we will definitely have more cooperation in the future."

"By the way, I still don't know what kind of materials Master Athos is looking for. If possible, you might as well tell me first. Maybe I will just know!"

"Well, that's good too!"

The Nese magic system does not have high requirements for materials, or the types of materials. The most important thing is energy-conducting materials.

Therefore, whether the other party was too enthusiastic or was concerned about confidentiality, Xia Duo actually didn't care. Then he expressed his needs:

"I'm looking for a cheap energy-guiding material that can compete with mithril. It would be great if Prince Aben could provide relevant clues!"

"A cheap energy-guiding material that can compete with mithril?"

Hearing such a request, Prince Aben subconsciously wanted to shake his head. There are indeed many energy-guiding materials that can compete with mithril, but at the same time, it is difficult to say if they are cheap.

"What kind of purity of mithril is the [Benchmarking Mithril] that Master Athos refers to? If it is just the energy-conducting effect of crude refining Mithril, then [Norfluroferric] is actually a very ideal and cheap material. "

"[Norfluroferric] is on your country's open trading list, and I have tested the samples I purchased before. In terms of energy-guiding effect, [Norfluroferric] does not meet my requirements."

"Need a stronger energy-guiding effect than [Norfloxacin]?" Prince Aben frowned, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh secretly. It seemed that even in Imasca, it was not easy to obtain cheap alternatives to mithril.

…

After a moment of silence, both host and guest consciously avoided the topic of the transaction for the time being. Prince Aben took the initiative to ask Sha Duo about the customs and customs of the Western Continent, and also introduced some basic information about Imasca.

Shado returned to Netheril's past situation, but did not mention a word about the changes in the Northern Alliance and the Great Xia Territory. Through this meeting, he learned more about Imasca.

At the end of the meeting, Shado also made a personal request. He casually projected the image of a cat and asked Prince Aben:

"I wonder if His Highness the Prince has ever seen this kind of animal?"

"What kind of animal is this? Does it belong to Imasca?"

Prince Aben's reaction surprised Shado. When they were in Cormanso, Kelani had clearly said that the cat was brought back to him from Imasca by his friend. Why did Prince Aben have nothing to do with it? What about the reaction?

"I saw this animal from a friend, and she said that another friend brought it to her from Imasca. A large part of the reason for my trip to Imasca was to look for this animal."

Xia Duo thought that he could easily find many cats as soon as he arrived in Imasca, but the actual situation was that he had never seen any cats in all the days he had been here.

Although this is due to the restricted itinerary, if cats are here as pets or to catch mice, there will not be any traces at all.

In this regard, Prince Aben once again emphasized his opinion, "This is indeed a cute animal, but I have never seen it. I believe that your friends will not panic. I will send someone to report this matter." We will conduct special investigations and will notify you immediately as soon as there are results.”

"Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness."

"That's right. As Master Athos is a distinguished guest of Imasca, this requirement should be met."

Later, Prince Aben took the initiative to mention, "I heard Jam say that you want to purchase a large number of slaves. I have ordered people to gather all the slaves near Inupras and wait for your selection at any time. If there are not enough, , and can also be recruited from surrounding areas.”

"..."

Xia Duo didn't expect that the other party would take it so seriously after just mentioning it casually. It seemed that the other party was in urgent need of a large amount of arcane crystals, and he didn't know what new materials they wanted to develop.

However, most of the slaves gathered together are probably Mulan people, but Sha Duo has decided not to buy in large quantities until it is confirmed that the Mulan people can apply the Nese magic system. Now this situation makes him a little embarrassed.

"I still need to think about the slave matter again."
