Chapter 317: It's a Secret
"How many undead can you summon now?" the Duke asked, looking at Ada in a hoarse voice.
Ida proudly said, "2,500!"
"It's really good. ”
The Duke nodded, he tried to calm the shock in his heart, and then asked, "What is the strength of these undead?
"This ......"
Ida hesitated a little, lowered her head and said: "Their strength is only stronger than ordinary people, about the level of Level 1 summoned creatures, and the 2,500 undead are skeletons. ”
After Ida finished speaking, she probably felt that these words had lost her momentum a little, and she hurriedly added: "But I can also summon more powerful undead creatures!"
"Oh?"
The Duke hurriedly looked at Ida expectantly: "What other level of undead summons can you summon?"
"I can also summon ten undead creatures, not just skeletons, their strength is stronger than level 2 summons!"
Ida spoke proudly, but the duke was a little disappointed: "That's right, yes, I have to continue to work hard." ”
Compared to the number of two thousand five hundred, ten second-level undead were a bit worthless, and in the eyes of the duke, any level 1, level 2, and level 3 summoned creatures were actually no different from children, and their strength was weak and terrifying.
"Father, you're looking down on me!"
"No, it can't be, how can I look down on Ada, you are my daughter. ”
The Duke smiled softly.
"Am I up to the task of building the Acropolis?"
Ida looked at the Duke pleadingly, "I would love to help you, father. ”
"I can understand your feelings, but I can't joke about Thorn Flower City, the Acropolis is very important......"
Ida angrily interrupted the duke's words: "Father, as a great magician, you know the characteristics of undead creatures better than me, and you obviously have the best candidate in front of you, why do you bother to find human labor?"
Ida pouted, "This is not the attitude you should have as a good city lord at all! Or are you worried that letting the undead creatures appear in the Thorn Flower City in a high-profile manner will cause panic among the people?"
"Ada, you misunderstood me, I've always had no prejudice against undead creatures. ”
The Duke smiled bitterly and said, "Ada, it's not that I don't want to do this, but your undead are indeed too few. ”
"There are only more than 2,000 undead, and even if I agree to this matter, more than 2,000 skeletons are not up to the job of 300,000 hard laborers. ”
The Duke said earnestly: "Ada, in fact, whether it is from the perspective of the city lord or from the identity of a father, I hope to be able to use undead creatures, first, to help your chamber of commerce grow, and secondly, to avoid mobilizing too many hard labors and causing resistance to appear everywhere." ”
"But your undead are really not enough, at most I can only agree with you to let these more than 2,000 undead join the construction of the Acropolis, but I can't give you all the construction tasks. ”
"Huh?"
Ada was disappointed that if it was only more than 2,000 undead who were used as drudgery, how long would it be possible to earn a large number of sacrifices.
Ida really wanted to ask An Baichen for help and ask An Baichen to give him more undead in advance, but it was a pity that An Baichen was staying with the doppelganger at this time, observing the learning progress of the doppelganger, and did not pay attention to Ada.
Amberson was aware of Ada's predicament, but he didn't want to help her outside of the rules.
First of all, it is not a matter of life and death, and the matter is not serious enough to break the trading rules set by Amberson.
Secondly, Amber thinks that Ida has been going too well these days, and it is not impossible for her to be a little frustrated, at least let her know that nothing will be so smooth.
Finally, and most crucially, Amber didn't think that he would bring huge benefits by having enough undead creatures to eat this order.
When it comes to calculations, tens of millions of gold coins are worth less than 100,000 magic crystals, and there is only about 10 million undead breath profits to support death, and An Baichen has to invest at least 100,000 first-level undead to be able to meet this order.
For the sake of tens of millions of undead breath profits, it takes at least years to invest a large number of undead creatures into the construction of the Acropolis, and it is at least a matter of years to get the benefits, at least after the establishment of the Acropolis is completed, An Baichen is not very happy.
He felt that even low-level undead creatures had more use value, and just ten times the profit margin was not enough for An Baichen to break the rules, ignore the time cost, and invest so many undead in advance.
An Baichen thought that the matter was almost over, and did not continue to pay attention to Ada's movements.
But who knows, before dawn the next morning, Ada was urging to summon him.
"Your Excellency Grim Reaper!
Ida persistently called out to the parchment.
"Say, what's the matter. ”
The skeleton soldiers behind Ida helplessly sent a soul message, and Ida shouted in surprise: "Your Excellency Death, you are finally here!
"I also have my own business to deal with, say, what's the matter?"
"I'm going to buy the undead!"
Ada said excitedly: "I'm going to buy many, many undead!"
"Huh?"
An Baichen reflexively said: "Buy the undead, where did you get the money, didn't you spend the gold card yesterday......?"
An Baichen suddenly asked without saying anything, "Your father agreed?"
"Yes!"
Ada's eyes were wide open, and there was obvious tiredness in her eyes, and she hadn't slept all night: "I convinced my father! He promised me to pay me all the amount in advance!
"Is it all paid?"
An Baichen was a little surprised, and then smiled: "I don't care what you do, I have to follow the rules of the trade here, you have enough sacrifices, I will give you enough undead." ”
"Good!"
Ida hurriedly shouted: "I'll go out to find the five major chambers of commerce now, Your Excellency Death is waiting for me, and I will bring you a lot of sacrifices!"
With that, Ada left the castle in a hurry, and she didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
"How did this little girl do it, and why was the Duke so bold, wasn't he worried about her nonsense?"
"That's more than 50 million gold coins, which should be a lot of money. If this is the doting of the father, it is also too exaggerated. ”
The skeleton soldier turned to look at the windowsill, which was diagonally opposite the balcony where the duke's room was located.
The Duke was standing on the balcony looking at the early morning view of the city of thorns, and he suddenly felt something, and turned his head to look at Ada's room, just in time to see the skeleton soldiers.
The duke's deep gaze met the skeleton's empty eye sockets, and the fire of the soul reflected on the duke's pupils, and the two silently observed each other.
It took a long time for the Duke to nod to the skeleton soldier, then turned and left the balcony.
I don't know why, An Baichen always felt as if the duke had discovered something.
Anbaichen also left the castle and, led by a servant, went out into the street, where he found Ada, who was trying to negotiate a price in a large chamber of commerce.
It is worth mentioning that An Baichen's soul perspective is still the level 2 special skeleton soldier, and he walked directly on the street without any disguise, which really surprised and frightened many pedestrians.
An undead creature walking down the street with a big grin, which is unheard of.
However, this is not the first time this has happened, and during this time, Ada has often taken Amberson to the streets, and some people in Thornflower City have also known that the Duke's daughter has become an undead summoner.
Due to the prestige and majesty of the Wilson family in the city, everyone was not particularly disgusted by Ada's becoming an undead summoner.
While everyone is still wary and wary of undead creatures, at least no one would bother to report it to the Wizards' Guild, knowing that it would be useless to report it.
Undead summoners are also magicians, and the Wizards' Guild will only intervene if the magician violates the rules.
Ada's uncle, Jack, is part of the Guardian Alliance, a sanctioning body recognized by the Wizards' Guild, to capture these evil magicians.
"I have a lot of magic crystals to purchase this time, and I must be given a discount on the price!"
"What does Miss Ada think is the right price?"
"Five hundred gold coins each!"
"This ......"
The heads of several major chambers of commerce sat together and glanced at each other, and one of them said with a smile: "Miss Ada, it's not that we don't agree with this price, it's mainly that the number of magic crystals you want to buy this time is too much, and we can't make up so many for a while." ”
"It's all in three days. ”
"Three days is not enough, the standard magic crystals currently stored in Thorn Flower City are only about fifty thousand. ”
Ida didn't believe that the combined reserves of magic crystals in these big chambers of commerce would be so small, but everyone said so, and she couldn't force it.
"That'll do. ”
Ada frowned, and she said again: "Then in addition to the standard magic crystals, I also need other types of magic crystals, and if the number is not enough, I also need other magic material items!"
"Miss Ada, recently the Duke is going to build the Acropolis, and the magic materials in the city need to be used to build the Acropolis. ”
"I know this, and I know that the materials needed to build the Acropolis are the best quality magic materials, I don't need the best magic materials, I just need magic materials. ”
Ada glanced at the group, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood. ”
"I have 54 million Metz gold coins in my hand right now, and I want to use all of this money to purchase magic materials, no matter what quality magic materials! I must spend all this money in three days!"
Ida paused and said earnestly, "Everyone, I know you have the ability to eat this money, but I hope that the price of the items you give me is not too excessive." ”
"Miss Ada, rest assured, we will provide you with magic materials at a 6% discount on the market price. ”
The five chambers of commerce agreed, and the outcome of the negotiation made Ida very satisfied, and she left the chamber headquarters satisfied.
"How the hell did you get your father to agree to pay in advance?" An Baichen couldn't help but ask on the way, he was curious about this matter.
"It's a secret. ”
Ida said proudly: "I naturally have my own way, Your Excellency Death just needs to wait, I will give you enough sacrifices in three days." ”
An Baichen smiled, he looked at Ada's bouncing back, and suddenly spoke.
"Your father, has you discovered my identity?"
Ada's figure paused, and her footsteps stopped.
