Chapter 6 The True Value of Gemstones

However, Heyman, who is usually very talented in bargaining and bargaining, was silent at this time.

It's not that doesn't want to offer a price, it's that he doesn't know how valuable this thing really is.

Once a day, you can summon a magic mount for two hours, and this magic item exists. However, due to the special nature of the arcane of the summoning spell school, many spell schools are required to match the enchantment methods, which often means that the price is expensive.

And now the lapis lazuli that Ain took out is just such a stone, and there is no trace of fitting treatment on it at all, so the high cost caused by these enchantment methods is impossible to mention. However, the new gem enchantment technique used by Ain has never been seen before, so how much should this technology cost to measure.

Seeing's headache expression, Aine knew that this lapis lazuli was definitely a good thing as he thought.

Although many enchantment materials and enchantment methods are not valuable in the game in the previous life, the price of the enchanting products of the spell school has always been high - of course, there is no way to compare with the price of some life-saving enchantment products, not to mention the real world where the scarcity of resources is significantly higher than that of the previous game.

"I think," Old pondered for a moment, "because this is just an apprentice-level arcane creation, a hundred gold coins, which is what I think is the right price." ”

Ain didn't immediately say anything about the price, as he was thinking about what the hundred gold coins could be exchanged for.

"Ain, a hundred gold coins is enough to buy a few good horses, I don't think this price is low." Old Heyman, who has been in business for many years, of course knew that this was Ain's dissatisfaction with the price he offered, and couldn't help but explain.

Aine nodded this time, and couldn't help but smile.

If it were to be sold again, there would be at least a few dozen gold coins of profit for.

"Old Heyman, what if I told you this wasn't an apprentice's arcane creation?" Ain saw the little curvature that Heyman inadvertently revealed at the corner of his mouth, and naturally knew that the actual value of this lapis lazuli containing a summoning mount must be much higher than a hundred gold coins.

"Isn't this kind of summoning a horse out a trick mastered by an apprentice?" wasn't all that clear about the caster's arcane system, "I've seen a mage apprentice perform this trick. ”

"The source of the power of this lapis lazuli to summon a horse is a ring of arcane summoning mounts enchanted on the lapis lazuli, and in a sense, this lapis lazuli is a ring of arcane creations." Ain smiled and explained to.

When it comes to the level of arcane creations, the effects that each level of arcane creations can bring are different. The more advanced the arcane creation, the less likely it is to be destroyed, and the less likely it is to suppress or dissociate the arcane effects contained within it.

However, often high-level arcane creations require a certain amount of arcane attainment or arcane affinity to be activated, but although this lapis lazuli made by Ain is not an apprentice-level arcane creation, it does not require strict activation conditions.

When he heard about the Ring Arcane Creation, instantly had a very different opinion of this lapis lazuli.

"This can't be ......," said subconsciously, because he is a kind of person who runs a material shop and also deals in magic items, so naturally there is a ring of arcane called summoning mounts.

"Nothing is impossible, the legacy technology of the Arcanist Empire." Aine shook his head helplessly, sure enough, the popularity of arcane in this world is very different from the game.

"One hundred and eighty gold coins?" tentatively offered another price, nearly double the one hundred gold coins he had just given.

"Just one hundred and eighty gold coins." Ain nodded, "But that's just the reward for performing the enchantment. ”

Old also nodded understandingly, fumbled for a moment from a bag, and took out a lapis lazuli of medium and high quality.

"Do you want to buy any more materials?" Old was not in a hurry to get the gold coins and pay for Ain, because he knew that Ain, as a spellcaster, would usually go to his shop to buy some materials.

Ain nodded, and took out a list from the pocket on the inside of the cloak, although he was now officially connected to the first layer of the magic net, but he didn't actually master any new spells, so the spellcasting materials used were all used in between.

Old just glanced at the list and knew it in his heart. In fact, it was very clear what materials Hayman needed for Ain, but now that Al has enchanted this lapis lazuli, mistakenly thinks that his strength has been greatly improved, and he just needs some new casting materials.

Soon, came out from behind with a stack of paper bags with a money bag on it.

"One hundred and sixty-three gold coins, all the materials you need are here." handed over the money bag and said.

"Profiteers." Although Aine didn't say anything, he still said something silently in his heart.

Obviously, swallowed up a fraction of the gold that Ain should have received this time.

……

When he returned home, Aine weighed the bag of gold coins and still had a headache.

This money must be earned within a month. Otherwise, when the heavy snow that has not been seen in a hundred years comes, his debts will expand invisibly.

Because this world is composed of many countries, although the vast majority of them are human countries, there are also foreign countries. Therefore, the gold coins of each country are circulated in each country.

As the god of commerce in the good camp, the god of commerce issued by the church is the currency that is common in the good camp, and even in some countries of the evil camp, such as the country of the undead, this kind of god coin containing the breath of the gods can also be recognized in unofficial occasions.

Just like the exchange rate, the gold coins of each country have an exchange rate with the divine coins issued by the Church under the Crown of the Changer. This ratio, according to the Church of the Changelor, was set by His Majesty the powerful Evan Dra, based on the situation in each country.

If the country is unprecedentedly strong, then the ratio of gold coins to divine coins in this country will increase; Conversely, when a country is mired in natural disasters** or decay, the rate drops dramatically.

And the loan from the Church of the Changeers is measured in God Coins. The arrears of less than a thousand Rysel gold coins on the books are actually only five hundred divine coins.

In fact, there is a similar premise in Ain's previous game - no matter what, when the snow disaster hits, the value of Rysel Gold quickly shrinks to half of its original value. Although the shrinkage of the value of a country's gold coins against the divine coins does not affect the lives of most of the country's domestic people, it only has an impact on transnational commercial trade; But that's not good news for someone like Ain, who owes money to the Church of the Changelors.

And Ain knows better that if he doesn't intervene in the national process of Rysel in the future, the pressure of repaying the debt of five hundred divine coins by himself will not be as light as it is now.

Because after the battle of flowers that took place in the year when Ain himself came to this world, Rysel continued to weaken due to various natural disasters**, and finally went to extinction.

Putting aside all these distractions, Aine concentrated his energy, feeling that he could still complete the enchantment once, so he took out the piece of lapis lazuli that old Heyman had given him.

In good conscience, the quality of the lapis lazuli that Ain used was slightly worse than the one he had now.

That's why Ain didn't bother with change.

There were no difficulties in this enchantment, except for some mental drowsiness in the end, which led to some minor troubles, and Aine still had a thrilling way to complete such an enchantment.

If the enchantment fails, the gem will be worth a lot, but the loss will hurt Iron.

But when the enchantment was over, Aine realized that he couldn't afford the mental exertion of such an enchantment.

"It's not a long-term solution...... Ain said to himself, shaking his head.

Judging from these two successful enchantments and two failed enchantments, Ain's ability to perform about five enchantments a week is already beyond the limit. But Ain can't guarantee that every enchantment will go as smoothly as it does today.

And after your own lapis lazuli inventory is used up, if you fail, it will be even more than worth the loss. In addition to wasting a precious enchantment opportunity, it is also necessary to hitch on the money of dozens of Rysel gold coins of lapis lazuli.

If you use cheap malachite as an enchantment material, then even if you successfully obtain the enchanted gem, you will not be able to sell it for the price it is today. Because of the arcane art of protecting against disease, there is also a divine art of the same name, and there are basically medicines for disease protection on the market and in various temples, and their price is only a dozen to twenty Rysel gold coins. What's more, the quality of these potions is often better than the protection against diseases released by the gems made by Al Ain.

In fact, it is not a worthless problem, but Ain's greed makes him feel that it seems a bit of a waste to waste a precious opportunity to make such a cheap item.

Even in the real environment, what Ain is obsessed with is how to maximize the benefits.

"Maybe go and see those inexplicably deserted manors, maybe you will find something." Aine shook his head helplessly, wanting to set aside more cash, which was nothing more than open source and throttling. In terms of throttling, compared with the current cost of life, it has basically been controlled at a very low level by Malinton. Then the open source aspect needs to be developed by Ain now.
