Arcane Lord

Except for Netheril, probably no country in the Northland Alliance hopes that Calimshan will rise again. On the one hand, this is a country outside the Northland, and on the other hand, it is more sensitive. Calimshan is also a human country.

Even a dwarf country like Denzo that upholds neutrality may not be able to remain neutral on the Calimshan issue.

You must know that Calimshan was fighting to the death with Danzo's hometown of Sanata. On one side was a strange human country, and on the other was the homeland of her ancestors. There is almost no need to say which one she prefers.

As for Shado, he has no prejudice against Calimshan itself, and is more willing to see a rising human country. This will not only facilitate communication, but also provide assistance.

In addition, it is based on the consideration of "uniting all the forces that can be united in the main plane". If we want to go outside the plane in the future, how to unify the main plane needs to be considered in advance.

On the unified line, Shado does not want to conquer by force, but prefers to lead Netheril with the southern territory first, then lead the Northland Alliance with Netheril, then lead the Western Continent with the Northland Alliance, and then lead the Western Continent with The whole territory.

Of course, this is for objects that can communicate and be united. If it is really impossible to communicate, then of course it cannot be left alone.

As the saying goes, "The general trend of the world is vast, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish." This is not true.

…

After a brief exchange, Sha Duo and Tarafu finally talked about the elemental soul trade, and Tarafu introduced——

"I brought a total of 500 essences of each of the four elements this time, half of which are elementary, 30% are intermediate, and 20% are advanced, which is second only to the elder level.

“The basic price of these elemental essences is 300 gold coins for an elementary product, 500 gold coins for an intermediate product, and 1,000 gold coins for a high-level product.

"In addition, depending on the element attributes, the wind element essence needs to be priced at a 20% premium, the fire element price is half a percent premium, the water element price is reduced by half a percent, and the earth element price remains unchanged."

In addition to quantity, other things mentioned by Tarafu, such as price, premium, etc., were mentioned in the newsletter a few days ago, and they are just mentioned again now.

"There are two thousand elemental essences in total, totaling 1.05 million gold coins. If you use arcane crystals or mithril to settle, you can get a 20% discount, which is 840,000."

"I choose to use arcane crystals to settle the matter." Is this still a choice for Shado? Now the stall is too big. Standing here, he can't take out 840,000 mithril or more than one million gold coins.

As for the arcane crystal, he didn't have this concern. It was said to be worth 840,000, and he could get it even if it was 8.4 million or 84 million.

But in this way, he felt a little sorry for Tarafu, which was a bit like exchanging industrially produced glass beads for a large amount of gold with others.

"Based on the arcane crystals left by Lord Shado in Calimshan as a standard, after calculation within the family, a total of 400 crystals are needed."

Upon hearing this number, Shado instantly realized the purpose of Tarafu's trip. In addition to completing the deal with him, he was probably also trying to fight Mithra's doctrine.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the other party set the price of arcane crystals at such a low price. 400 840,000 gold coins are almost 2,100 gold coins each.

This may seem high, but compared to the past price before Mythra came out - at least 5,000 gold coins, it is completely cut in half!

The price of energy gems is not certain for different people, but it is not directly cut in half. Especially for spell casters, the additional value of gems is generally not considered, and they are purely considered from the perspective of use.

All in all, prices are relatively stable.

Even after the advent of Mythra, the price of arcane crystals has not been lower than 3,000. This is still in Netheril. If it is abroad, it will be higher.

Almost everyone who owns Mythra has this tacit understanding. No matter how many arcane crystals are piled up in the warehouse, they will not be sold at a lower price. Even if they want to lower the price, they need to negotiate with other Mythra owners. .

This price alliance will eventually disintegrate as Mythra gradually spreads, but according to Shado's speculation, that kind of situation will more likely happen in Netheril.

To the outside world, Mage Nese is not a fool. How could he sell large amounts of arcane crystals at low prices?

It is conceivable that by directly severing the arcane crystals in half, Tarafu obviously knew that arcane crystals were not hard to come by, and could even be said to be very easy to obtain and very cheap.

The prerequisite is to have Mythra.

And after knowing the truth about the arcane crystal, they were still willing to pay such a price. Sha Duo wouldn't believe it to death if they were not plotting against Mythra.

Therefore, Xia Duo thought about it and finally proposed——

"This price is unacceptable to me. I can only accept 300 pieces at most. Of course, as a friend and in return for the Mairead family's gift, I am willing to personally give the Mairead family an additional 300 pieces. A standard arcane crystal."

Sha Duo said he would only accept 300 pieces, so the price of this arcane crystal is close to 3,000. This is a tacit understanding between Sha Duo and other Mythra owners, and even he will not break it easily.

Even if the person facing him is Talaf and the Mairead family.

But after all, it was to the Mairead family, so Xia Duo proposed a return gift, which would be 600 arcane crystals.

If it is used to pay for elemental essence worth 840,000 gold coins, then an average arcane crystal is only worth 1,400 gold coins.

In the future, after the price of Aoneng crystals is implemented, the external price will not be cheaper than this. It can be said that Xia Duo has used the future price in advance to use it now.

This is not only an explanation to the Mairead family, but also a silent rejection of the Mairead family's pursuit of Mythra.

In the future, it may be possible to sell Mythra to the Mairead family, but it is definitely not possible now. Even within Netheril, he has to control the total number of Mythra by controlling the manufacturing materials.

Once this thing is obtained by a country outside of Netheril, the chain reaction it will cause is almost unimaginable.

And Tarafu, as the third generation heir of the Mairead family, naturally understood the hidden meaning of Xia Duo's words.

Although he was rejected without even having a chance to formally speak, he did not show any frustration, nor did he ask any more uninterested questions. Instead, he quickly reached a deal with Xia Duo and then delivered the goods.

Xia Duo didn't even need to go back to the warehouse to pick up a mere 600 arcane crystals. He carried hundreds of thousands of standard arcane crystals with him in case of emergencies, and this was one of the scenarios where he needed to use them.

What he got was sealed elemental essences, packed in twelve boxes according to attributes and grades. In addition, there were four elder-level elemental essences that Tarafu mentioned before as gifts. The souls are contained in four small and exquisite secret boxes.

…

After the delivery of the goods was completed, Sha Duo invited Tarafu to visit the territory, and Tarafu happily agreed.
