Chapter 839: Turning Point
As soon as Chamberlain's voice fell, Lin An immediately turned around.
"What you said is true?"
"Yes, in fact, you must have studied the light element's restraint against this plague."
Chamberen's tone was affirmative, Lin An nodded slightly, and a different color flashed in Chamberen's green eyes as he stared at her, and continued:
"The mage and the Holy See have been facing each other for years, and the methods used by the Holy See, the Mage Tower is not completely without targeted research. After the outbreak of this plague, there were mages who used this kind of 'imitation holy water' to experiment, and the effect of expelling the plague was not as good as that of holy water, but it also had about fifty percent of the effect, and it was nothing more than the amount required - it was precisely because of this 'imitation holy water' that the plague was charged on the east coast and did not completely spread to the whole territory......"
"But in the end, it's still limited by the raw materials, right?" Lin An continued.
"That's right, after all, what I have done is also a last resort, and the damage to us will be very great, if possible, of course we are not willing to give up civilians, after all, it is tens of thousands of human lives." Burlen Road.
Lin An was noncommittal about the compassion he showed at this time, but said thoughtfully:
"Listening to what you said, since this imitation holy water can play a role in controlling the plague, it seems that its manufacturing method is also very mature, and it can even be mass-produced?"
"That's right." Chamberen felt that talking to smart people was enjoyable, and Lin An's idea was exactly what he needed, "Because the demand for imitation holy water is too great, the materials consumed are completely astronomical, especially the most important main materials, which are too expensive and rare, even with the accumulation of Atlanta, they can't meet the gap." ”
Lin An knew very well that Burren suddenly released the bait of imitation holy water, and he would not be untargeted, but he still continued to ask: "What is the material?" Several? ”
"There are two kinds of gaps that are the largest," Burren stared at Lin An, silently, "Radiance Stone, Obsidian." ”
The obsidian-like lacquer eyes narrowed slightly, and for a moment, Lin An snorted lightly, "How long have you been staring?" ”
"From the moment you leave Dolan City."
The words without a beginning or an end, Bleren calmly continued, and on the surface, it was completely impossible to see that his palms were already completely wet:
"You know, although you deliberately chose to do it when the elder group was on the northern front, but your cover of slaughtering the Dolan City Lord's Mansion was not enough to hide it for too long, especially Master Franklin is a new dream building master that Atlanta has secretly cultivated, his fall has made the elder group very hostile to you, for your motive for appearing there, even if it is unintentional, you have to search the ground to find a reason to place it, not to mention that the adjacent location of Dolan City is still so sensitive, it is difficult not to remind people of some of the original insiders."
The grudge with the Mage Tower has been settled from the beginning, what kind of hostility is deep, Lin An only regarded it as a strong wind blowing in his ears, and nodded lightly, "Well, I haven't been troubled by you for so long, I'm about to forget about it." ”
"That's why you met me so calmly just now?"
Chamberlain couldn't cry or laugh, of course he wouldn't take Lin An's words seriously, but seeing Lin An calmly admit that there was no clue of turning his face immediately, he was also greatly relieved, and then he was a little subtle in his heart:
Lin An was able to admit the content of his temptation so directly to his face, firstly, because he had the strength to do it, and secondly, that the ruins were completely controlled by Lin An when she arrived more than half a year ago, and she was not worried that the people of the Mage Tower would still be able to take it away, so she generously admitted it.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, this result was not a good result, but thinking that the Mage Tower had been fooled by Lin An and Salin earlier, thinking that the ruin was not valuable enough and gave it up, from this ending, the Mage Tower was actually destined not to be the owner of the ruin.
"Do you want us to do it as soon as we meet, this will...... It's not that it can't be satisfied. ”
Lin An raised his eyebrows, and Chamberlain waved his hand again and again to deny:
Just kidding, even the Dream Builder, who was known for his weirdness and unguardability, fell into her hands, and he only hoped that Lin An would turn his face - as for the mage tower's wanted for Lin An, what was it, and did it have anything to do with him?
Lin An was about to settle down, "You just said that the main materials that are missing are radiance stone and obsidian, it won't just be used to test me, right?" ”
"Of course not, the main materials needed to imitate holy water are indeed these two."
Lin An is no longer the Lin An of four years ago, Bolun would not dare to tell such a clumsy lie to her, if it weren't for the fact that one of the two main materials was the main building material of the ruins, and the mage tower had indeed found a lot of light stones on the periphery of the ruins, he would not have tried it.
Lin An pondered for a moment, "How big is the current gap between these two materials?" ”
"According to the current estimation of the spread rate of the plague, obsidian will need at least 10,000 square meters, and the radiance stone will need 500 square meters, and it is not ruled out that more possibilities will be needed." Burn replied without hesitation, explaining that the Wizard Tower had made a precise estimate of this.
"With such a big appetite, I'm not afraid to kill you!" Lin An sneered.
10,000 square meters of obsidian, can you eat it as a meal? Five hundred square light stones, the Holy See Holy Mountain opened the door for people to search again, maybe it was almost enough-I really thought that if she wanted to save people, she was specially sent to the door for them to slaughter?
She was not angry, and said slowly: "Actually, think about it, since it has been mass-produced, presumably this formula of imitation holy water is not a secret within you......
The taste of bad intentions is simply not too strong, Chamberlain was shocked, the speed of sweating on his back increased again, and he suddenly understood that there was a problem with his description: "No, no, Lin, you misunderstood, I am talking about raw ore, not high-purity finished products after extraction!" ”
How much is 10,000 square meters? Changed to rice grain and cooked into thick porridge, maybe it will be enough for each homeless person to have a bowl, and he will not be so greedy.
When Lin An heard this, his expression eased slightly.
She forgot, only thinking that Burren coveted her own sky city, forgetting that obsidian and radiance stone are both magic ore crystals, there is a difference between raw ore and finished products, even the finished products have high and low purity, generally in square units, referring to raw ore.
- The people of Burren and the Mage Tower have not seen the true face of Sky City, and they don't know how huge and magnificent the ruins they have lost are, and the finished obsidian of 10,000 square meters, Lin An is by no means unable to take it out, it is nothing more than a matter of demolishing a few halls on the periphery.
There was a misunderstanding in the front, and the real result in the back was much easier to accept, Lin An guessed that Burren might have seen some clues from her reaction, and he didn't hide it, and said directly:
"I can make up for this gap, but you won't ask me to donate it directly."
"Of course not!"
If this is the case, how can the nobles of the Mage Tower and Atlanta rule over the commoners?
Chamberlain was not so confused that he replied: "Of course, it is an equivalent exchange, but I estimate that it will be difficult to transfer enough funds from the treasury for a while, and I wonder if you agree to exchange other materials for it?" ”
If you take advantage of the fire to rob at this time, you can completely become the largest creditor of the Magic Principality, and the room for operation and the benefits it brings are so great that it makes people's blood boil just thinking about it, but Lin An has no idea of making a fortune.
Sure of Chamberlain's positive attitude, she stroked her black hair from her shoulders and said:
"Forget about the money, even if you send a few gold mines, I'm not rare, and the materials can be considered, but I think this is also a hemorrhage for you - in fact, you can not pay a single gold coin, it depends on whether you are willing to cross this psychological threshold."
What could be the greatest wealth for a mage?
Burren instantly comprehended Lin An's intentions, and smiled bitterly, "Lin, you have a big problem for me!" ”
The knowledge and books accumulated by the Magic Principality for thousands of years are the lifeblood of the Mage Tower, and Lin An dares to open this mouth, and even if Lin An doesn't want the original, how to estimate the value of these books containing priceless knowledge is also a big problem.
But Burren can't deny that this is indeed a two-way benefit, under the current situation on the mainland, all countries are actively preparing and accumulating resources to deal with the upcoming turmoil on the mainland, if Atlanta can only use the copied magic books as Lin An's reward, it is equivalent to paying nothing, and Atlanta will take advantage of it.
Lin An seemed to be able to guess Chamberen's thoughts, and curled the corners of his lips, "Just use the ratio of the original to the copy as a value measurement parameter, if you pay all the copies, don't blame me for being too ruthless!" "Don't ask for a price, how to pay back the money.
"It's not up to me to decide," Burren paused, "but it's not non-negotiable, if not all of the books, but some of them." ”
Lin An expressed his approval, looking at Bren's attitude, at least persuading the Mage Tower to change his mind to help the refugees is not small, so that Lin An's biggest goal has been achieved, and it is not unacceptable to use Bren's request as the price of rescuing tens of millions of refugees, and it is much more convenient and efficient than her original plan.
"However, I don't have that many obsidian and radiance stones in my hands, so I have to go back and mobilize them."
"I also need to go back and get official permission, and the question of the remuneration for the transaction must also be discussed, but the spread of the plague is not under human control, and a day later, tens of millions of civilians may be infected with the plague." ”
"Of course, my original intention was also to not want to see hell reappear on earth - I just hope that they will not be too stubborn and delay people's lives for the sake of those prejudices," Lin An narrowed his eyes and stared at Chamberlain, meaning something, "Extraordinary time, extraordinary deeds." ”
Bolun was slightly cold, couldn't help but look away, avoiding the sharp edge exposed in Lin An's gaze at that moment, and secretly sighed that even if he didn't use mental power, the psychological pressure that Lin An brought him was increasing day by day, and she did not live up to the once-in-a-millennium evaluation, for her contemporaries, this was simply a back that was difficult to chase.
Chamberen pressed the distracting thoughts and said cautiously: "I understand! ”
After the two discussed the initial remuneration bargain, exchanged rune gems for contact, agreed on a time and place to meet again, and Bran left with the people.
