Chapter 346: The Gift of Holy Rock City (Part II)

The royal palace of Saleen, there is no cloud flow in the main hall. Instead, learn from the Qin Yin Palace, where everyone has a seat, and there are no steps for the grade. The members of the envoy group were arranged in the outer hall, and they were tired all the way, and they should have rested first. It's just that Salin had to meet this Bald first, and the envoys were also arranged to live in the palace in accordance with the rules, so they set up a banquet first.

Huge oval-shaped table, with Salin sitting at the head, his men on his left and the men of the envoys on his right. Balde didn't sit next to Saleen, who was next to Salin, and arranged for two magicians. Stephanie was seen through by Nicholas and didn't pay much attention, just didn't speak.

Salin was also a little entangled in his heart, Saint Rock City sent two eighth-level magicians, what does it mean? If Nicholas wasn't around, wouldn't these two magicians want to attack him?

He wouldn't have thought so, the problem was that Stephanie pretended to be a white-robed mage, and he wasn't seen through by Zola along the way, and it was Nicholas who reminded him that he used the Elemental Eye to observe. Problems were found.

So there was such a scene, Salin was indifferent to Bald, but the nobles on his left were very excited, and looked at Balder eagerly, hoping to hear news from his mouth that would benefit the kingdom.

Holy Rock City sent him, he didn't come to enjoy the mountains and rivers, did he?

Balde didn't know what to say, for according to the rules, he should have stayed in a post house or something, arranged a time for a grand ceremony, and then presented his credentials, and the envoys exchanged with the nobles of Metatrin, and then he told Salin that His Majesty the Emperor had given him the task given to him by Prince Sephiroth.

Salin was good, looking impatient, and brought him directly to the palace.

Fortunately, Salin was also prepared, there was not much else in Metatrine City, and the nobles brought the most servants, and Salin was going to have a dozen good cooks and had already prepared a banquet.

After a round of tea, dishes were served. In order to take care of the envoys, Salin did not enslave the spirits of the dead to do this work as he did in the temple.

The servants were borrowed from the nobility in charge of servants, and Salin was not married, so there were no court maidens. All the people who came and went were strong men.

The glass was raised, and Saleen began to toast in an aristocratic tone, and Balde finally relaxed. Although the language of Salin is in a way of speaking. It's an old Fourth Dynasty habit, but it's very much to his appetite.

After drinking three glasses, Salin arranged for a few low-level mages to mix drinks for everyone, which was the style of Kushui County. Blending with restorative water can make the wine lighter without hurting the body.

The atmosphere was harmonious, and then Salin asked: "Duke, Your Majesty asked you to come, do you have anything special to explain?"

He did not mention the letter of state, and the content of the letter was nothing more than the establishment of fixed envoys between the two sides, who were stationed in each other's capital for a long time to facilitate mutual communication. This embassy is going to set up a teleportation array. The teleportation array can directly communicate letters at any time, and cannot teleport living people like large teleportation arrays.

The credentials certainly also talk about borders, as well as military entry permits. These are not what Salin cares about, what he cares about is what Qin Yin's personal attitude is towards the emperor. Anyway, he also knows what is going on between Sephiroth and Rex, and for Metatrin City, Holy Rock City will be relatively wary.

Own regular army. It is impossible to enter Phoenix, at most on the border of Phoenix, on the passage through which the Papal Expeditionary Force passed, giving yourself a way out to Garudan.

"Your Majesty, he ......" Balder sorted out his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty hopes that the trade route between here and Holy Rock City will be opened, and most importantly, Your Majesty hopes that during the war, Metatrin can provide Holy Rock City with magic cores." ”

Balde did not say what Prince Sephiroth requested, Tiffany was the emperor's man, and there were some things that were better said behind her back. The emperor secretly sent an extra magician, not necessarily against himself. If he did too much for the prince and delayed the emperor's affairs, those two magicians would definitely be able to slaughter him and the people around him.

You must know that there are only 1,400 soldiers at his disposal, and that is what the emperor promised. And the remaining 1,600 people are to listen to Tiffany.

Stephanie's name frightened him a little, this woman, who was said to be a magician close to Emperor Chanak, did not belong to the royal circle of magicians. A completely private mage, if she does something, the court will not admit it, and it will not bear any responsibility. When the time comes, Stephanie will run to Alchemy City, and she will die in vain.

"How much does Your Majesty want?"

"One hundred thousand fourth-level demon cores. ”

"What price?"

"One hundred gold coins. ”

"This ......," Salin muttered deliberately. There is a price list in the equipment store on the market, and the price of the first-level magic core fluctuates greatly, the cheapest is a gold coin, and the most expensive is only five gold coins. The second-level magic core can be sold for ten gold coins, and the particularly pure one can be sold for twenty gold coins. Tripolar Magic Core. You can sell it for 100 gold coins.

Fourth-level magic core, the most expensive can be sold for a thousand gold coins, but usually it will not exceed four hundred gold coins, which means that before cutting, after cutting, the price of the fourth-level magic core is two hundred gold coins. A skilled magician can cut a level 4 magic core into more than three standard units.

If the magic core is not cut, it cannot be embedded into the magic array.

The magic core that is not cut is priced according to the size, and after cutting, the size is equal, excluding the manual cost and loss, a two-hundred-gold coin, almost half of it is caused by the manual cutting.

One hundred gold coins, this must be the price after cutting, because of the size of the fourth-level magic core, at least three standard units can be cut. No matter how arrogant Emperor Qin Yin was, it was impossible for him to buy and sell so strongly.

The nobles were also nervous, this was the shipping price that Salin gave them, and if Salin agreed, they would not have made any money. The cutting difficulty of the fourth-level magic core is dozens of times greater than that of the low-level magic core, and the manual is very expensive. If Saleen doesn't help them, they earn less. So whether Saleen said yes or not. Nor could they change Saleen's mind. Otherwise, no matter what Salin will cut in the future, when they sell, the profit will be reduced by at least thirty percent.

"This price is not good, this year's magic cores, I have already sold them to the dukes and counts here, and I only have 40,000 magic cores in hand. ”

Everyone's hearts were suddenly hot, Salin didn't hand over the magic core to them, and there was only a verbal agreement between them and Salin. If you sacrifice their interests in order to associate with Holy Rock City. It also makes sense. Besides, interacting with Holy Rock City is not small for them, and these nobles don't want to obstruct it. That's why I'm so conflicted.

What else did Balder want to say, Salin said: "The price on the market is two hundred gold coins, this is not a low-level magic core, it is for a mage to cut, and the apprentice may not be able to do it." In this way, I ask for an increase of one and a half, one hundred and fifteen gold coins. If you wish, I will subsidize my nobles at my own expense and let them sell you at this price. ”

Bald's flesh ached, and Ojavis told him when he was leaving, that he had to buy the core. In terms of price, a 20 percent increase is allowed. That is, in fact the emperor was willing to buy it for the price of one hundred and twenty gold coins. But as long as the price exceeded one hundred and ten gold coins, he didn't make any money.

But Salin made it clear that he had already sold the core, and if he didn't agree to the price, he would talk to the nobles separately.

If this is the case, it means that he has offended all the nobles of Metatrin, and there is no hope for the prince to confess.

The nobles put a heart in their stomachs, although the price of one hundred and fifteen gold coins is still very low, but they don't need to occupy any funds, just sit on the ground and collect money, and one magic core will earn fifteen gold coins!

In the end, Salin's distribution was 20,000 magic cores for each of the four dukes, 5,000 for each of the twelve counts, and the remaining 20,000 magic cores for the other nobles. It would be nice if each of those people could get a few hundred coins.

"The four of you, each with 10,000 magic cores, and you, each with 5,000. How?" Salin didn't care whether Balde agreed or not, and talked to his nobles about the conditions.

Gu Ya They were born in four major families, all of them were rich and powerless, and other nobles could not compare. The four of them were not afraid to take up funds, but the twelve earls were more receptive to this approach. If you sell 5,000 magic cores in one go, you will directly earn 50,000 gold coins, and you don't have to move your buttocks. Saleen said he would subsidize them, but they didn't dare ask for it.

Even if Aini and the others are unwilling, it is not easy to refuse. Anyway, there are still 10,000 magic cores to sell, and on average, there is still a lot of money.

"Your Highness Sarin, Your Majesty, he also asked me to bring you some gifts. Balder didn't dwell on the matter of the demon core, and he saw that Salin didn't grovel to the two magicians, and knew that this person couldn't be convinced, so he naturally had other plans in his heart.

"Oh, Your Majesty is too polite. I don't know what kind of gift it is?" Salin looked curious, the matter of the magic core was settled, and then at this price, he could sell it to the emperor privately, and the emperor would definitely not owe it on credit, but it was a good business.

Balde was also thinking in his heart, His Majesty should buy as many as possible, and he proposed 100,000 pieces, which Salin promised to come down with, and there must still be stock. I want a little from Salin, and at this price, after I go back, it is a good income. This time, I brought more than 20,000 gold coins with me, and I bought all the magic cores, and when I went back, I could earn more than 10,000 gold coins.

"This is not what I have with me, Master Tiffany, please ......," Balder said to Tiffany very politely.

Tiffany smiled, stood up, walked to the open space of the main hall, and released a huge guy from the space equipment. It is an alchemy machine more than ten meters long, with a golden yellow body, like a huge shuttle weaving cloth. The curvature of the mechanical surface was unusually perfect, and the dark silver magic runes were regularly arranged on each individual structure.

"This is a diving battleship, newly developed by Saint Rock City, and even Cloud City is not equipped. Your Majesty knows that your city is near the sea, and coastal defense is still very important, so let me bring this to you. Balde said triumphantly, but Salin couldn't help but laugh.

This is obviously a hundred times more powerful than Rex was hastily refined, but he has a turtle alchemy ship, what do you want this diving battleship for?
