The Lord of Ashes

The space fortress that Thain needs to build next is more like a self-modified special space fortress.

It has both Capecchi's hull foundation and Iron City's modification technology.

After getting relevant advice and a purchase list from Old Man Piton in the Sky City, Thane went straight to the Business Alliance Capecchi.

Thain still has little money.

If he had 80 to 90 million, or even hundreds of millions of magic coins, he could use Sky City's heavy industry laboratory to privately customize a space fortress that was most suitable for him. 🄼

It's a pity that the cheapest customized space fortress in Sky City costs 50 million magic coins.

And according to Old Man Piton, the performance is not much better than the same-priced special space fortresses from Cape Chi and Steel City.

If you really want to customize a good space fortress, it's best to spend hundreds of millions of magic coins!

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

It is really a bit nonsense to try to get the top space fortress of wizard civilization in one step.

The overall level of the space fortress that Thain will purchase during this trip is already very good.

At least its performance and price have exceeded the average level of the fourth-level holy tower owners in the Wizarding World!

…

Business Alliance Capecchi.

Having experienced several visits to Capecchi, as well as the experience of accompanying his mentor to purchase a space fortress last time, Thane found the goal of his trip without much effort.

At this time, accompanying Thain in selecting the space fortress was a fourth-level magician named Schlesing.

As the Wizards Alliance Conference is about to be held, the space fortress trading market in Capechi seems to be much deserted.

At least like Thain, there are only a dozen people to choose the space here.

However, according to Schlesing next to him, Capecchi's current desertedness is only superficial.

The reason why there are not many people is because most of the powerful people above level 4 have already gone to the demiplane of the Howling Stone to participate in the 25th Wizards Alliance Conference in advance or in preparation.

In fact, in recent decades, Capecchi's space fortress transactions have been completed in the hundreds.

Many magicians predict that after the Wizards Alliance Conference is over, the sales of Capecchi's space fortress will usher in a peak!

At the underground fortress docking base southwest of Cape Chi, Thain saw the "Valan Star Destroyer" space fortress that he wanted to buy this time.

A total of twenty-one extremely large space fortresses stood quietly in this underground base, and the air was filled with huge separation magic arrays and protective potions.

Although they are special space fortresses built 30,000 years ago, the first impression given by these space fortresses in front of them is that they are still the same as new ones.

The diameter of the "Walan Star Destroyer" space fortress is about 27,000 meters. It is a typical heavy space fortress.

The length of the fortress is twice as long as Lu Lianman's "Bizhiyuan Fortress"!

Thirty thousand years ago, when the "Valan Star Destroyer" space fortress was first launched, it was sold for 42 million magic coins.

With the passage of time and the continuous updating and iteration of space fortresses in the Wizarding World, the "Valan Star Destroyer" space fortress has long been discontinued, including its price, which has also dropped again and again.

The price quoted to him by the fourth-level magician Schlesing just now was 19.51 million magic coins.

This is indeed not much different from what old man Piton told him.

"Master Thain, you are really discerning. The 'Walan Star Destroyer' space fortress is one of the most cost-effective among the special space fortresses I have."

"The power of his main gun's Star Destroyer Beam is 67% higher than the latest generation standard space fortress launched by Capecchi!"

"The price of 19.51 million magic coins is already the lowest price."

"Of course, we in Capechi also support the loan business. Using the Holy Tower as collateral, I can get you a low-interest loan of 15 million."

"In other words, you only need to spend 4.51 million magic coins to drive away this space fortress."

"We will handle all the procedures for you, including being responsible for the ten-thousand-year maintenance service of the 'Valan Star Destroyer' space fortress." Schlesing, a fourth-level magician, spoke eloquently to Thain.

This is a very professional space fortress salesman. Under the introduction of Master Schlesing, Thane realized many advantages of the "Valan Star Destroyer". Even old man Piton didn't know about some more detailed areas.

However, Thain was not fooled by Master Schlesing. He pointed out directly that the energy consumption of the "Valan Star Destroyer" was three to four times that of the general standard space fortress.

If it enters a combat state, its energy consumption will be even more exaggerated!

This is simply a giant money-burning machine.

It is precisely because of this obvious shortcoming that the "Walan Star Destroyer" space fortress will be eliminated by the times.

In fact, in the era when it was first produced, this type of special space fortress did not sell very well.

Unless they are the kind of rich knights or magicians, generally strong people above level four will really be unable to bear this big guy.

The "Walan Star Destroyer" space fortress is also called an "energy black hole" by some nefarious knights and magicians of level 4 or above.

Of course, times are progressing, and the latest energy regeneration system launched by Steel City can, to a large extent, solve the problem of excessive energy consumption of the "Walan Star Destroyer".

But unfortunately, Capecchi's Space Fortress Manufacturing Factory has always been in competition with the City of Steel.

The Steel City, which is cheaper to build and more "civilian", has taken away many business orders from Capecchi in recent years.

Therefore, in the face of the shortcomings of the "Valan Star Destroyer" space fortress proposed by Thain, the fourth-level magician Schlesing could not directly propose it. Thain could go to the City of Steel to try to solve this problem.

"Seventeen million magic coins! If Master Schlesing can make the decision, I am willing to buy it with seventeen million magic coins!"

"I'm not short of money. I don't need to borrow money from Capecchi. I can pay the full price to buy it now!" Thain said to Schlesing.

Schlesing curled his lips slightly, seventeen million magic coins was really too low.

Although this kind of special space fortress modeled 30,000 years ago is not sold with the same price tag as the latest standard space fortress, it is indeed more maneuverable.

But if it is only sold for 17 million magic coins, Master Schlesing's commission will be extremely limited.

Seeing that Thain had done enough homework in advance, he still purchased it in full instead of paying in installments as a deposit.

Schlesing pondered for a moment and replied, "18.41 million magic coins, this is the lowest price I can give!"

"Master Thain, you need to know that although the 'Walan Star Destroyer' space fortress has major shortcomings, it actually has no worries about selling it now."

"Fifty years ago, this underground base housed a total of thirty special space fortresses named 'Walan Star Destroyer', but now only twenty-one are left."

"If Master Thain is still not satisfied with the price, I suggest you look at other models of space fortresses, or consider it again."

"But I would like to remind the master that the 'Valan Star Destroyer' space fortress has been discontinued. If you want to buy it after the Wizards Alliance Conference, it will most likely be out of stock by then." Schlesing looked at Thain and said.

Thain also stared at Schlesing for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Deal!"
