56. Rune Board Market
Count Conrad transported thirty boxes of dual-attribute giant crossbow arrows from the warehouse in the third block of the imperial capital, and these giant crossbow arrows will be sent to the battlefield of the Loki plane.
Since dual-attribute magic crossbow arrows have become an important factor in the victory of the imperial army in the plane war, a large number of giant crossbow arrows have sprung up in the magic market of the imperial capital, these magic crossbow arrows have a wide variety of types, and the price is relatively high, the most common single-attribute magic crossbow arrows in the magic market are sold in batches of about sixty silver coins, which is almost three times the price of those single-attribute magic crossbow arrows I sell, and the price of dual-attribute magic crossbow arrows has reached a magic crystal.
The lords of the imperial capital have called on the magic union to reduce the price of magic crossbow arrows and magic potions for such expensive armaments, otherwise those small lords are even more afraid of dimensional war, and the concept of 'failure in a war is equal to bankruptcy' is now deeply rooted in people's hearts.
A few months ago, the Grimm Empire was lacking the assistance of temple priests, and if the lords wanted to start a campaign, they not only needed to invest in weapons and equipment and build knights, but also needed to prepare enough life potions before the battle, and since the price of magic herbs had been high, these life potions were therefore a heavy burden for the lords.
And now, although the Grimm Empire's plane war has been victorious, but the situation of excessive consumption of resources has not been improved, but has become more and more intense, in order to ensure the victory of the plane war, the noble lords' investment in the war has been rising, and the 'giant magic crossbow arrow' has entered the sight of the noble lords in this situation.
First shining in the war on the Hierro plane, and then helping the Prince of Wales defeat the Nakma people, there is always a sign that the bed crossbows produced by the Grimm Empire's armament workshop are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the plane war, and these bed crossbows need to be combined with stronger crossbow arrows to be more powerful.
The price of my single-attribute giant magic crossbow arrows here is twenty silver arrows each, and the ultra-low price makes Count Conrad worry that someone will take the lead, after all, there are not a few lords in the imperial capital who are caught in the plane war, and even if they don't participate in the plane war, it will not prevent the lords from hoarding these magic crossbow arrows in their hands, even if they sell them for a difference, they can make a lot of money.
This time, Count Conrad saw a large number of holy silver crossbow arrows that I had prepared for the orc tribe in the Pai Plateau in the warehouse, and seeing the magical luster flowing on those crossbow arrows, Count Conrad couldn't help but ask me the price of these holy silver crossbow arrows, in fact, although these holy silver crossbow arrows looked dazzling, more than half of the giant crossbow arrows would look brilliant, but in fact, the price I set was much lower than I imagined.
The orcs only need to coat the blade of the weapon with a layer of silver, which will burn the soul fire in their bodies when it comes into contact with the undead, so the crossbow arrows transported to the orc tribe of the Pai Plateau are plated with a layer of silver, but in fact, more than half of these crossbow arrows are ordinary and have no magic effect, and the other half are single-attribute crossbow arrows with one of the two magical effects of 'sharp' and 'penetrating'.
It is precisely because of the surge in demand for giant crossbow arrows that the demand for black iron arrows in the magic seal workshop has also skyrocketed recently, and orders for black iron arrows have fallen like snowflakes on the side of the North Duisburg Blacksmith Workshop, which makes the owner of North Duisburg, Count Robert, often complain to Alia, explaining that the production capacity of the Blacksmith Workshop is already saturated, and there is no way to increase orders anyway.
With the news of the price reduction of the third primary magic rune board spread in the imperial capital magic market, this news completely put the rune market into an embarrassing situation, and the price gap between the traditional magic rune board and the new magic rune board increased again, which directly led to the two traditional magic rune boards of 'fire gathering' and 'miniature tornado', which were unprofitable in the hands of rune merchants, and many rune workshop owners were forced to terminate the relevant orders for these two magic rune boards.
In the words of the Magic Merchant: The Bronze Demon Rune Board is a bit unreasonable!
Later, the magic workshop has successively launched the magic table lamp of the bronze lamp base, although these magic table lamps are somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of energy saving, but the strong artistic sense of the copper lamp holder and the visual impact caused by the magic of 'shimmer illumination' have attracted the attention of many nobles with a petty bourgeois atmosphere, and in just one week, five hundred magic table lamps have been snapped up.
Murray then ordered two thousand magic lamp holders to the bronze workshop, but unfortunately this kind of copper portrait lampholder, each one is handmade by coppersmiths, and the production capacity is greatly restricted, and many magic merchants can still only pick up the goods from the rune workshop.
......
The most prosperous commercial street in the fifth block has several of the most famous buildings in the imperial capital, including the imperial auction house, the Royal Opera House, the Royal Holiday Hotel, the magic teleportation hall, the arena and so on, and this street also has the largest department store in the imperial capital, this commercial department store covers an area of nearly ten acres, the upper, middle and lower are divided into eight floors, this department store sells a variety of low, medium and high-end goods, known as the 'grocery store' with the most complete range of goods in the imperial capital.
The boss is said to be a legendary big man, I heard Noah say that he is a duke in the Grimm Empire who ranks very high in terms of comprehensive strength, and the row of gargoyles on the top of the building is the guardian beast of their family, and the door of the main entrance of the department store is also printed with gargoyle patterns.
As the harvest festival approaches, the streets of the fifth block are also decorated with colorful lights, many buildings are decorated with colorful flags, and there are obviously more pedestrians on the streets than at any time, and the streets and alleys are bustling.
Noah and Vernon and I sat on the stone railing across the street from the Imperial Capital Department Store, staring with interest at the crowd of people coming in and out of the department store.
In two months, the imperial capital is about to usher in a cold winter, last winter, three huge snowstorms almost paralyzed the traffic in the imperial capital, many families who were not prepared were frozen, close to the harvest festival period, the imperial capital people began to carry out winter storage, in addition to warm and cold clothing, easy to store food and fuel is also essential, not only that, but also many imperial people deliberately ran to the department store to buy copper hot pot, this kind of magic items that can be cooked and heated indoors are very popular with the imperial people.
With the retail price of copper hot pot falling below forty silver coins, the imperial capital once again ushered in the rush to buy copper hot pot, the department store in front of it is the place with the largest shipment of copper hot pot, and the sales of exhaust fans also have a clear upward trend, but I and Promise and Senior Vernon gathered here for another commodity.
The streets were crowded with pedestrians, and from time to time people passed in front of us, and it was common for young nobles dressed in magical robes and knights' leather armor like us, and people seemed to have become accustomed to our presence.
Shirley Newman ran out of the department store with her valet and quickly across the street, panting to Noah.
"How's the sales going at the counter?" Noah asked Shirley Newman.
"Not bad, I watched over there for about an hour, and about thirty units were sold. Shirley Newman's nose was sweating and her face flushed, probably from the crowd and running a short distance.
"Hey, looks like someone likes our design!" Noah cheered, then high-fived Senior Vernon.
Senior Vernon's eyes also lit up, and he said very heroically: "Of course, although the oven we made is a little more expensive, there are 'lava surge' magic rune plates around the walls of the box, which not only heats evenly, but also greatly shortens the cooking time, we have been busy for this oven for a whole summer, isn't the display at the summer festival very successful?"
For Noah, the oven he co-designed with Senior Vernon was a hot sale in the department store, and he felt very fresh and excited.
Although this income is nothing to Noah, it makes him look red and feel a sense of accomplishment.
Noah rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and said to Senior Vernon: "That's different, it was just a magic concept we proposed before, but now we have made this oven into a product, and the people of the imperial capital are notoriously picky." Originally, I thought that if this kind of oven is not popular in the imperial capital, then I will take it back to Palestina Province and promote it in Ignas City and Galapagos City first, this kind of oven should be very suitable for grilling seafood, but I didn't expect the response in the imperial capital to be so good!"
I reminded a little helplessly:
"Hey, I'm talking two...... In addition to the hot sale of this magic oven, do we have to properly consider controlling the cost as much as possible, the oven with four 'lava surge' magic rune plates only costs seventy silver coins, which is the same price as those ovens with only one magic rune board at the bottom, which in itself is a big impact on other similar ovens on the market. ”
In fact, Noah and Senior Vernon designed the oven's custom 'lava surge' magic rune plate, which was reworked by the Yerkis scholars.
The Yerkes Scholars have made simple optimizations to the Magic Pattern Circle, so these rune plates also have energy-efficient magic elements inside.
The Magic Seal Workshop has set aside a magic marker for this kind of rune board, and it is specially designed to print this kind of primary 'lava surge' magic rune board.
Noah touched his nose with his fingers, smiled at me and said, "Isn't it that everyone has discussed it at this price......?"
Senior Vernon also put his hand on my shoulder very enthusiastically at this time, and said with a smile to me: "Yes, I think Jijia has a saying that you are very right, the fastest way to open up the situation in the magic market is to make everyone familiar with it and pay attention to it!"
I'm worried that this kind of dumping will make other rune board workshops that make magic ovens complain, and I have been filling the magic market with smoke recently......
Shirley Newman didn't interject next to her, and said at this time: "And at this price, we don't have a little profit margin, at most we make a little less!"
Hearing Shirley Newman talk about the cost of manufacturing, Noah reacted and asked me with some seriousness, "Could it be that every time you make a 'lava surge', you lose some money?"
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "You think I'm giving you money?"
"That's not going to happen, I'm not short of money!" Noah reacted suddenly, and said with a grin: "Speaking of which, Jijia, your rune workshop is really powerful, and the magic newspapers have been talking about it for the past few days......"
There were so many people on the street that I didn't want to talk about it here, so I said, "This is not the place to talk about these things, or let's find a place where we can have a drink and celebrate Noah and Senior Vernon on how popular your first magic item is in the magic market!"
Noah responded positively, "Okay, why don't you go to the back street of the Tower of Pride......"
We temporarily rented a magic caravan, first took the magic caravan back to the Royal Academy of Magic, and then went to the academy to pick up Ying Li, and then rushed all the way to the back street of the Tower of Pride, Ying Li heard that we were going to go to the bar to drink in the middle of the day, and the expression on his face was very helpless.
As the free market on the Pride Tower Square became more and more prosperous, the backstreets of the Pride Tower also became lively, and it seemed to have become a place for the magicians of the imperial capital to relax.
Ying Li and I were at the back, whispering about the collection of magic herbs by the five islands, because the 'Time Hourglass' could only be turned on for one hour a day, and in the magical herb plantation in the belly of the island, the Golden Thorn Grass and the Sun Grass had entered the maturity stage one after another, so we had to find time to collect them, so the time given to us by the 'Time Hourglass' was a little insufficient.
After school in the afternoon for a week, Ying Li had more than an hour to enter the herb plantation on Nameless Island through the portal to collect herbs, and in fact, he had already filled fourteen large magic sealing boxes, and if these magic herbs were not disposed of, he would have to buy some more magic sealing boxes.
Win Li and I both want to refine these magical herbs into high-quality life potions through the task commission of the Potions Guild, or hoard them, or sell them directly to the South Wind Legion, this kind of high-quality life potion is hard currency wherever it goes, and no matter which legion logistics department will definitely not have too much.
It was only when I stepped out of the carriage that I suddenly saw a familiar figure, so I stopped, and instead of following Senior Vernon into the bar in front of me, I turned my head to look at the bench on the side of the street......
