The collapse of the market for magical materials in Hollevin did not affect the normal life of ordinary people.

After all, as long as ordinary people can eat enough and be warm, they are already very satisfied, and the crop yield in this world is quite high, even if there is no druid, as long as there is an acre and three points of land, a family can be fed, but the problem is that the territory and the nobility are too much to squeeze the ordinary people.

Sixty percent of the income is handed over, and he is already a nobleman of conscience.

Eighty percent of the general.

Now the price of magic materials in the entire Holewen has reached a certain level, and finally, Roland has also been affected by this price increase.

Although he can ask the local tyrants to send several magic materials over to practice, the problem is that in addition to a few magic enchantments, other magic materials, magic towers, are also needed.

There are a lot of students in the school of magic, and they also need magic materials to learn some basic magic.

For example, lighting requires the tail of a firefly as a material, which is almost worthless and can be found all over the mountains in the summer.

But when students practice the basic trick of lighting, they use it a lot.

Usually buy it casually, the amount of one gold coin is enough for half a month of school use, but now if you want to buy it, the price is three times higher, not to mention, the inventory is also less, and you can't buy more if you want to.

are all stockpiling.

In order to burn the fire on himself after all.

Roland looked at the report handed by Vivien and sighed helplessly.

After thinking for a long time, Roland made a post in the forum.

"Recently, I have gained a little from practicing magic, and I have been in retreat for half a year, and I have suspended receiving enchantment requests"

When the post came out, there was a burst of laughter on the forum.

'Tsk, Roland coaxed, deliberately stirred up the market, how much money did he make? ’

I guess it's going to be thousands of gold coins. ’

There are a lot of replies similar to yin and yang.

Of course, there are supportive ones.

'It's still a good boy to change your mistakes, think about the consequences first when you make any big moves next time, you are the strongest mage among the players, and your every move may cause turmoil in the entire player group. ’

The person who sent this reply was Roland's friend on the forum, the great power O'Neill.

"It doesn't matter, I haven't got the materials together anyway, and I guess I won't be able to get them together in half a year." ’

I'll come back to you in six months. ’

A few days after this post appeared, the market for magical materials in Hollevon finally did not rise again, and the overall price was slowly decreasing.

But there are only a few materials, and they are still slowly rising.

That's what the 'auto-fix' enchantment needs.

Players are not stupid, what is really valuable, what the 'hard currency' enchantment is, they know too well.

The rest of the sharp-edged techniques, what weapon reinforcements, are just superimpositions on attributes, only the effect of 'automatic repair' is a special effect that truly breaks through 'common sense'.

Other enchantment materials can be hoarded, and the effect of equipment automatic repair is too great to give up.

Especially those who have the best equipment, they are still trying to collect the materials for automatic repair, and they haven't stopped at all.

Charles is the most profitable of all the players.

The 'Cornucopia' Chamber of Commerce, under his orders, has been collecting materials for the 'auto-fix' enchantment.

Now they have bought a third of the materials in Holleven.

And began to go to other countries, intending to receive auto-repair enchantment materials from other countries.

Roland was helping Charles with fourteen pieces of equipment, and when he was taking a day off, Dougres came to the door.

Told Charles about the frenzied collection of materials.

Then he continued: "Roland, after forming a material monopoly, I am afraid that Charles will use this material in turn to threaten you to help him work in the future. Charles, this person, the interests are supreme. ”

Roland waved his hand indifferently.

"I estimate that in this world, there are no more than two people who know how to 'self-repair'." Roland paused and continued: "This is still on the best side, in my own guess, there may be no more than three people who can do automatic repair technology, and this includes me. So...... No matter how much material Charles hoards, it doesn't make much sense, after all, there is an upper limit to output, and the more materials he has, the more he will have to digest in the future, and the more he will lose money. ”

Douglis nodded

For Roland, he is quite admired.

In fact, most player mages are quite impressed by Roland.

After all, he is a pioneer among players.

"If you have your own ideas, it's fine."

With such a sentence, Douglis went back to his estate.

This is just a small episode, Roland spent the next nearly half a month helping Charles enchant equipment.

As he became more proficient in auto-repair technology, Roland's success rate was getting higher and higher, and now he could succeed with an average of about 1.3 enchantments.

So the enchantment time is greatly reduced.

Conversely, Roland is becoming more and more adept at using the magic of cause and effect.

The 'unhindered communication' magic, which originally lasted only about 14 hours, skyrocketed to 24 hours.

One day and one night.

It's a pity that Roland can't find more causal spell models, otherwise he would have studied them again to see if he can make new breakthroughs.

With an automatic fix alone, the insights that can be learned are almost at the limit.

Half a month later, Roland delivered the goods to Charles.

The place of delivery is in the Magic Tower.

After checking the equipment one by one, Charles nodded with satisfaction, and then he sat opposite Roland, smiled and said, "The equipment is perfect, I am satisfied." You're very good at your craft. ”

"Thank you." Roland said lightly.

He felt that this Charles seemed to be a little more stubborn than the last time they met.

"In the next half a year, you really won't get equipment?" Charles asked.

Roland nodded.

He posted on the forum that he wanted to process the equipment, which was nothing more than free practice materials, and now that he had almost mastered the automatic repair technology, there was no need to work so hard. Not to mention messing up the price of magic materials in the entire market, it is still hated by many players, so there is no need.

Douglis and Charles earned 480 gold coins in the processing fee alone, and if you count the remaining excess materials, he earned at least 700 gold coins.

Even if you have to maintain a magic school without any other income, it is enough to 'burn' for more than ten years.

Moreover, the taxes from Del Bon City, the income from the magic tower industry itself, and the indefinite amount of gold coins transmitted from the sand sculpture added up to a small amount of money every month, and he was temporarily out of the economic crisis.

"What a waste." Charles said: "At such a suitable time to make money, you don't strike while the iron is hot to make more money, but you stop...... There is no need to pay attention to the people who bark on the forum, many times, the money is earned, it is the ability. Rich people, someone licks you all the time, and most people don't care how your money comes from. ”

Roland frowned slightly, but then he said: "It's just that I'm a little tired, and I really have something to gain, so I need to retreat and study quietly for a while." ”

Charles shook his head and said: "Your economic concept is not good, opportunities, opportunities are such things, once they come out, you have to seize them, otherwise they will slip away." ”

Roland looked at the other party quietly, and he felt that the other party still had something to say behind him.

"If you're just worried about the materials, it's easy to do." Sure enough, Charles continued: "I have already let my chamber of commerce take down the materials for the automatic repair enchantment, which is about one-third more than the total amount of Hollevin. ”

Roland was stunned: "It turns out that the magic material has such a big fluctuation, and it is the handiwork of your Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Small meaning, small meaning." Charles's chubby face had a smug glow: "I think we can work together." ”

Roland was stunned, he suddenly remembered what Douglis had said to him more than ten days ago.

So effective?

"What kind of cooperation is it?" Roland couldn't help but ask.

"I provide the materials." Charles leaned forward slightly, and said with some excitement: "You are in charge of processing, and then I will take the equipment to sell to customers." How about a one-stop service? When the time comes, we will be able to monopolize the entire market for automatic repair equipment in Hollevin, and indeed in the whole world. ”

"So how much money do I get?"

"I'm in charge of producing materials, I'm in charge of channels, I'm in charge of customers." Charles looked at Roland with burning eyes: "You only need to be in charge of processing, you don't have to do anything else, five gold coins and one piece of equipment, how about it?" If the customer is satisfied, we can increase the price, then of course, if the customer is not satisfied, the processing fee has to be reduced. ”

Roland was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

Charles's idea is really interesting.

According to what he said, it seems that Roland is indeed very relaxed, as long as he processes equipment, he doesn't have to do anything, and he can earn five gold coins.

But I forgot that Roland is the real upstream of the industry.

Why should I work for you, even if you have materials, customers, and channels.

But I don't lack your money.

Roland shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested, I'm really not short of money right now." ”

Charles's expression was a little unhappy: "Almost all of Hollevin's materials are here, and if you want to make automatic repair equipment in the future, you must find me." And I don't believe it, you're the only one in the whole of Holeween who will automatically fix the equipment technology. As I said, such opportunities don't always come by. ”

"Then you can go to someone else who knows how to fix auto-healing." Roland said calmly: "I really don't have time. ”

Charles's expression became more and more unhappy, but then he smiled again: "It's a pity, it turns out that you are just an ordinary person, and you don't want to seize the opportunity you get, and you don't dare to seize it." Brother, a man must dare to fight, otherwise his achievements in a lifetime will not be high. ”

Roland clasped his hands together: "I think it should always be a little higher than you." ”

Roland's expression was calm, but there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm at the corners of his mouth.

Charles was stunned for a moment, and then a little annoyed.

He stood up, gave Roland a deep look, then shook his head again and turned away from the magic tower.

Roland was there at the window, watching Charles leave the Magic Tower Square, and threw the rattle bell.

Vivien walked in.

Roland said to her: "Let people go to the mercenary union, and pay them to help me check the information of the 'cornucopia', the Golden Son organization, the more detailed the better." ”
