Chapter 104: A New Collaboration (2)
"There's certainly nothing wrong with trading."
Hamilton. Burgegen seemed a little cheerful, but also a little reserved...... This was obviously because Hathaway's new identity made him feel a little nervous, and he said expectantly, "Yes, yes, I have some clients, they, they ......"
Fortunately, Mr. Burgegen was not born with a stutter, and when he finally straightened his tongue, Hathaway finally understood what he meant. I have to say that Hamilton. Burgegen is a very good merchant, and after getting those magic fireworks, he immediately contacted some buyers and sold them all, and now that the harvest festival was still a week away, he wanted to be able to contact a batch of magic fireworks, because he had already contacted the palace and some noble mansions.
"How much can you sell?" Hathaway asked.
"As much as you want, I'll take as much as you want." Hamilton. Burzhgen's eyes lit up.
"The goods are fine, but the raw materials are the problem, if you can send all the raw materials that can be collected this afternoon, how many raw materials there are, I can refine as many magic fireworks as you want." The corners of Hathaway's mouth curled slightly.
Well?
Hamilton. Burgegen's eyes were also surprised, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, and he was not worried in the slightest that Hathaway was joking...... A nobleman may be a liar, but a mage would never do such a boring thing.
After seeing the visuals of those magic fireworks, he knew that this kind of entertainment item would definitely be welcomed, especially the nobles who were too idle to enjoy this fancy and lively new toy. After selling the last batch of goods, he also left some samples and hired several magicians and mage apprentices to copy them.
However, although Hathaway's ideas also inspired the mages, the magic fireworks they made were not only rigid, but also very expensive, and even His Majesty the Emperor could not play with such expensive toys...... And the most troublesome thing is that once the magic fireworks they refine hit people. That would be a veritable disaster. So he ended up finding Hathaway.
Hamilton. Burgegen didn't know that Hathaway's magic fireworks had already been transformed when they designed the spell structure, although they looked like they were hot. But in fact, it attacks people. At most, minor burns to the skin or clothing. The risk factor is negligible. And those magicians who want to imitate it use real materials when refining the fireworks scroll, which is not only powerful. The cost of materials is even greater, and if you use this price to make magic fireworks, you will have to pay for it. So he ended up coming to Hathaway.
After a little bit of detail, Hathaway changed the subject and said, "Mr. Burzygen, do you have a new magical commodity that you are interested in?" ”
"Lord Earl, I don't know what kind of commodity Lu Dao is?" Hamilton. Burrigen's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.
"Phantom Magic Staff." Hathaway said, pulling out a delicate magic wand.
This magic wand is about two feet long, very light, the diameter of the staff is about three centimeters, the whole body is carved with exquisite ornamentation, full of elegant temperament, and at the head of the magic wand, is a red magic crystal the size of a baby's fist, exuding a faint, intoxicating brilliance.
"This ......" though Hamilton. Burgegen was not a magician, but he felt that the magic wand was more ornamental than practical, so he was a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, I'll show you the effect." Hathaway smiled and tapped her wand to Ilona next to her.
With a 'whew', a fire dragon more than two meters long suddenly appeared, rushing towards Ilona with a blazing breath.
"Huh?!"
Hamilton. Burgegen cried out in silence...... Even if you test the power of the spell, you can't use a living person to test it, right?
A miracle happened...... Ilona stood there steadily, the moment the dragon touched her, it began to disappear rapidly, and she even reached out to stroke the dragon.
Is this a Shenma situation?
Hamilton. Burzhgen's brain is a little dead, could it be that the little maid is a supreme powerhouse?
"Monsieur Burzhgen, this is a magic ...... The magic cast by the staff is illusory, but realistic. ”
Hathaway explained his doubts, shook the magic wand in his hand and said: "The magic crystal on this staff is actually cut and carved from glass, and then a magic array is engraved on it, and a magic crystal is placed in it, and the magic wand on this staff is also made of magic crystals as a source of magic power." ”
"The magic wand itself is nothing, when this magic wand is used, as long as it has the mental power of ordinary people, it can be easily used, and after the magic power is exhausted, the magic crystal can also be replaced. What other toy would appeal to the aristocracy who loved magic but couldn't learn it? ”
Hathaway took out another magic wand, and with a slight flick, a fox with blue fur suddenly appeared on the ground, and ran towards the door, its big fluffy tail flicking, bringing up a flood of starlight, which was so beautiful...... Hamilton. Burg was sure that even he was fascinated by this thing, not to mention the nobles, especially the ladies and ladies of the nobles, who were afraid that their self-control would drop infinitely after seeing this commodity, and he could already think of the scene of the golden carat rolling in.
The throat squirmed slightly, and Hamilton. Burgegen said: "Lord Earl, how much does this magic wand cost?" ”
"50~100 gold coins, you can control the price of the sale, but don't be too expensive." Hathaway said.
Hamilton. Burrigan pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Count, I also want this magic wand, as many as I want. However, if a sample is available, I can contact the buyer now. ”
"That's fine." Hathaway gave him both magic wands and asked Ilona to teach him how to use and replace the crystals.
"Not doing your job."
After sending Hamilton away. After Burgegen, the veteran said disapprovingly.
"Humph! You are relaxed, you don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation every day, but not everyone is like you, you don't need to think about these at all, I have a big territory to take care of, and I have to do more magic research, will you give me money? Hathaway asked rhetorically.
During the conversation with His Majesty the Emperor, Hathaway learned that the various taxes paid by the Cordillera Plateau to the Imperial treasury were decreasing year by year, and although there was a separate amount of money to be stored for future lords, Hathaway did not dare to count too much on how much this money was. Moreover, she also needs all kinds of resources to cultivate magic, which can only be bought with money.
"You've been studying those alchemy circles for the past two days, just for this?" The veteran asked.
"Of course, since I want to make money with it, I can't carve them one by one, right? Then I don't have to do anything else every day. Hathaway rightly spoke.
Alchemy circle, is an alchemy tool used by alchemists in batch refining magic items, this alchemy circle itself is composed of many alchemy items, as long as the alchemy circle is activated, the raw materials are placed in it, it will automatically cut out the required patterns or magic runes on the processing object. What is it used for...... You can think of it as the effect of a combination machine.
Hathaway was thinking about this problem when she was refining the first batch of magic fireworks, and after a period of processing, these problems have been solved. Best of all, she found that Lina and Jessica had higher mental power than ordinary people, and they were fully able to activate these alchemy circles, and after training, they were completely proficient in manipulating them. And Hathaway didn't let them work hard in vain, and chose a set of meditation methods suitable for them from the Demon Spirit Hall to teach the two, if they worked hard to cultivate, it would not be difficult to become official magicians.
"Why don't you recruit a group of magic apprentices?" The veteran suddenly changed his tone.
"Huh? What do you mean? Hathaway asked.
"There are many magic apprentices who have never had the opportunity to become official mages in this life, and there are also some magic apprentices who need to find a way to earn cultivation resources because of their qualifications, and you can hire them." This time, the veteran made a more feasible suggestion.
"But...... Where are these magical apprentices hired? Hathaway asked, she really didn't know much about these things.
"Of course, go to the place where the magicians gather." The veteran replied.
Hathaway pondered for a moment, first assigning the tasks of Lena and Jessica, and then ordering Ilona to take Barth. Willie came for it.
……
Time flies, and although beacons burn on the borders of the empire from time to time, this is not a problem at all for the people in Vermont City. After all, they had a vast coastline in front of them, and those orcs or something would have to at least cross that sea before they could threaten the people of Vermont. That doesn't mean Vermont City is all about it, though...... At least for the merchants and nobles, this was very bad news.
Eden. Bell has been feeling a little anxious lately, and as the chief financial officer of Archduke Casef, he has done his job so well that even the most discerning accountant can't be critical of his work...... In this respect, he is an excellent financial steward, although on the surface, he is more of a martial artist.
Of course, his troubles come from his work, not because of his ability, but because there are more pirates in the blue sea recently, which has led to an increase in the loss of business travel, and the rapid rise in the price of various commodities, which has caused great inconvenience to people, and the most direct manifestation in front of him is that tax revenue has declined. (To be continued......)
