Arcane Lord

Although this kind of thing will not harm the interests of Yeerlan, it can benefit Xiaduo. Xiaduo did not expect Yeerlan to do this without paying anything, so he also sent a private message to Philipfa:

"If you need me to do anything else, please let me know."

This is actually a transaction, but Xiaduo does not want to talk about it directly. He himself does not care, but Philipfa is an elf. Elves always have an inexplicable reserve, or even scruples.

And if it is a formal transaction, Philipfa must inform Yeerlan of this matter. At that time, Xiaduo may have to pay more. It is better to have a tacit understanding with Philipfa in private to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Philipa understood Xia Duo's hint completely, but he was a little hesitant. "After all, Consultant Xia Duo, you are still a human being. Isn't this a little inconvenient?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Duo turned into an elf in front of him, "I can participate in the experiment as your personal assistant or other identities you think are suitable."

Seeing this scene, Philipa was a little stunned. It was the first time he saw a person of equal status as him do this. It was too straightforward and too naked.

At this time, he had a fairly intuitive understanding of the widely circulated rumor in Yeerlan that "humans have no bottom line". No upper elf would do such a thing.

Of course, this does not mean that the upper elves do not talk about interests one by one, but they will not talk about interests so nakedly. For the sake of family, for the people, and for the country, they are all reasons. If they don't talk about any reasons, it's really too unrefined.

And such disregard for face for the sake of interests also opened Philipa's eyes.

However, he did not look down on Xia Duo because of this, but paid more attention to Xia Duo.

Personal face is one thing, and reputation is another. As long as the reputation is not lost, personal face is secondary, and it may gain more benefits.

If Filifa were to choose, he would rather give up some benefits or pay a greater price to keep his face.

He really couldn't understand the human's thoughts, but with the establishment of the Northern Alliance, there will be more and more opportunities to deal with humans in the future. It is unknown whether humans will be influenced by elves or elves will be influenced by humans.

Just as Filifa's thoughts spread, Shado had already put forward specific conditions-

"Our cooperative development plan in Elan is still continuing. I am willing to add a batch of arcane crystals. Where to use them will be arranged by His Excellency Filifa."

Arcane crystals have been a strategic material for Netheril since their birth. Before the birth of Misera, only a few of them flowed into the elven country.

After the birth of Misera, there is a relatively stable channel for obtaining them, but the quantity is still strictly limited. However, arcane crystals have been proven to be the most ideal consumables for war spells.

Every country, including Yeerlan, is trying to obtain more arcane crystals through various channels, but each one has little effect.

And now that Xiaduo is willing to pay arcane crystals in exchange for the opportunity to obtain divine grace that has little effect on Yeerlan, Philipa is undoubtedly very tempted, but when it comes to arcane crystals, he also has some selfish motives.

After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Xia Duo, "The Elan development plan basically does not use arcane crystals. Consultant Xia Duo might as well invest those arcane crystals in the next agricultural cooperation."

"Agricultural cooperation? Didn't Lord Philippa say that the Crown King of Hellion and the Parliament must agree?"

"I have reported to the Crown King. The Crown King agreed to cooperate with Consultant Xia Duo, provided that the cooperation must include the blood research support from the Kalinshan side. This is also the requirement of the Parliament. If Consultant Xia Duo agrees, we can sign a formal letter of intent after the Alliance Conference."

The agricultural cooperation that Philippa mentioned includes two aspects. On the one hand, it is the research on the half-plane ecological farm that Xia Duo took the initiative to propose, and on the other hand, it is the research on new crops transformed by blood that the Elan side attaches great importance to. This part must have the blood technology support from the Kalinshan side.

The reason why private transactions are inserted into this cooperation is mainly because agricultural cooperation with the Naish people is more sensitive. Both the Crown King and the Parliament intend to cooperate in a private name first, and then turn it into an official one depending on the situation.

The representative of the private partner currently being promoted is Philip. If this cooperation can be successful, Philip only needs to report the results to the Crown King and the Parliament for quite a long time in the future, without having to report the process.

In this way, it is of course easy to do some tricks. As long as Shado cooperates, the Crown King and the Parliament will not know that a batch of arcane crystals have flowed through the cooperation.

As for why it must be done this way, of course it is because Philip does not want to be suspected of colluding with the Ness people. Even if this batch of arcane crystals is finally discovered by the Crown King and the Parliament, it is nothing more than not reporting it.

If there is no such step, how to explain the arcane crystals he got from Shado? Is it to say that Shado did not let him do anything and gave him a batch of strategic materials that are very important to any country for nothing?

Philip has been the Crown King's adviser for so long, it is impossible for him to leave such a big attack point for political enemies and dissidents.

In addition, the Crown King's thoughts have undergone some unexpected changes recently because of Kalish. These changes may have unpredictable effects on Yeerlan, and he must consider himself more.

And the batch of arcane crystals provided by Xia Duo, which do not exist in the eyes of outsiders, will become a key trump card in his hand!

For Xia Duo, as long as the transaction can be completed, he does not care how the arcane crystals are given out, not to mention that Philipfa's words have locked the possibility of agricultural cooperation in advance, so he will not object.

...

Soon, Xia Duo and Philipfa agreed on all the details. He paid 5,000 standard arcane crystals to become the distributor of Yeerlan's sacrificial experiment today. This price is really not small.

Based on the current market price of 1,000 gold coins per piece, these 5,000 arcane crystals are 5 million gold coins, but due to the limited sale on the Netheril side, the actual transaction price is actually close to 2,000 gold coins per piece.

Of course, compared with more than 4,000 gold coins before the birth of Misera, this price can be said to be cut in half now.

Philipa was very satisfied with the deal, and Xiaduo didn't lose anything. 5,000 standard arcane crystals couldn't catch up with Misera's daily output. It was just that the sale was artificially restricted, which kept the price high.

If the sale was released, it might drop to tens or hundreds, or even cheaper.

At the same time, compared with the magic items that Yeerlan was going to use for sacrifice today, the arcane crystals worth tens of millions were not much. If the magic items that Yeerlan was going to use for sacrifice today were sold publicly, the price would be at least over 100 million.

A considerable part of them were obsolete old magic tools, or magic tools that were not completely scrapped due to production errors. Both types of magic tools can be recycled, but recycling also has costs, which is not necessarily more cost-effective than making new ones.

In addition, the giant mithril mine in the Gray Peak Mountains has begun to produce some time ago, so there is no need to recycle these old or scrapped magic tools.

But anyway, even if it is garbage, it can be sold for a lot of money.

In this regard, Xiaduo can only sigh that the dog rich are really rich!

Ye Erlan took out so many things in his first sacrifice experiment. What else could this be but a rich man? Anyway, he would never do this.

From this perspective, these 5,000 standard arcane crystals are very worthwhile. After all, if you really want to exchange them for 5,000 arcane crystals, you will definitely not be able to exchange for so many things.
