Chapter 42: A Perfect Match

"Spell-like abilities?!"

After slowly lowering the glass statue in her hand, the woman had an expression of disbelief on her face.

At this moment, she finally understood why the stability of the finished product that she had integrated through the magic of the transformation system was always not as stable as the original.

It's not a matter of spells, it's not a matter of materials......

It's the lack of the means to get everything together without affecting those sensitive materials.

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "That's right! Even if I give you the full set of technology, it will be difficult for you to make this kind of energy storage device according to the process. Even if it is made, it will use too many high-level magic or materials, which will cause its cost to increase several times, and in the end, the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

"Damn! So all my hard work and money has been in vain? ”

The woman's tone clearly revealed a strong unwillingness.

As the most famous dealer of magical items in Port Carlin, the most unbearable thing for her is to lose money.

Of course, this kind of personality may also be related to the spiritual blood flowing in the body.

After all, the djinn are best known for their ability to be brilliant and cunning plane merchants, often tricking the ignorant into willingly pulling out the last copper plate in their pockets.

If anyone makes them lose money, they will definitely be hated for a long time.

"Then it depends on what you choose next.

In fact, the cost of such an energy storage device is much lower than you might think, but the materials required are extraordinarily complex.

If you can provide me with materials and a workshop for free, then I can produce a large number of finished products in a short period of time.

In exchange, though, I asked for half of the proceeds from the sale of these devices, or for scrolls, books, and magical items of similar value.

At the same time, I can borrow your workshop and alchemy equipment for free during my stay in Port Carlin.

By the way, you should have your own mage tower, right? ”

Zuo Si unhurriedly threw out a cooperation plan.

It was only after escaping the Tower of the Floating City that he realized how much convenience the place that had always been regarded as a cage had brought him so much.

Whether it's the abundant collection of books in the library, the inexhaustible materials in the warehouse, or the various rooms with special functions, and the monsters and slave craftsmen imprisoned in the basement cells, you now need to pay a lot of money to get them.

Many things are not even bought with money at all.

Therefore, the left thought wants to use this cooperation to temporarily obtain a place where magic experiments can be conducted.

Otherwise, if you mess around in an unprotected hotel room, and accidentally fail to trigger an unexpected chain reaction, I am afraid that everyone in the entire hotel will be blown up to the sky.

"Of course I have my own mage tower. But first you have to tell me how low it is to make an energy storage device. The woman was visibly moved.

Because only by cooperating, she can recover her previous losses, and even make a lot of money from them.

Zuo Si picked up a pen, wrote down the names of more than thirty materials in the common language of Faeron on a blank piece of paper, and then handed them directly to the other party.

"Here, the cost is all over here, let's take a look."

The woman hurriedly took it and glanced at it twice, and immediately exclaimed, "How is this possible!" According to the materials listed above, the cost of making an energy storage device is not even 2,000 gold coins? ”

"Only 1,800 gold coins, to be exact." Left thinking about the righteous path with profound meaning. "And you can sell it for more than 20,000 gold coins. Even if you can only get half of it, you still have a net profit of 9,100 gold coins. You make the materials, and I make them. It's a sure-fire business. How, your answer is? ”

My answer, of course, is yes! With such a win-win cooperation, no businessman can find a reason to refuse. To reacquaint myself, I'm Elsa, a warlock and merchant specializing in the purchase and sale of magical items, and the only designated member of the Aurora Magical Shop in Port Carlin. ”

The woman took the initiative to introduce herself.

In Port Carlin, a city of chaos, murder and change of power, volunteering to name is a gesture of goodwill.

The other party who learns the name can often use the thieves' guilds everywhere to find out a series of rumors about the name behind it, so as to judge whether it is trustworthy or not.

"My name is Soth, a traveler who has just arrived in Port Carlin from out of town. Nice to meet you, beautiful Ms. Elsa. ”

Zuo Si also immediately stood up, touched his chest with one hand, and slightly owed in response.

For those who have great power and can bring additional benefits to themselves, he has never been stingy in showing his most humble and polite side.

In fact, the real cost of making an energy storage device is less than 300 gold coins.

More than four-fifths of the materials on that list were for corruption and enrichment.

On top of that, Zuo Si also plans to use the energy reserves of the Mage Tower to improve his various professions.

Anyway, when the time comes, it's not up to him how much magic energy it takes to make an energy storage device.

As long as it doesn't exceed the sorceress's psychological expectations, the probability of being discovered is basically not too great.

Aisha obviously didn't know that Zuo Si was thinking about how to "take advantage" better and safer, but asked with great interest: "If the materials are sufficient, how many such devices can you make in a day?" ”

"Six!"

Without thinking, give a relatively conservative number.

He understands that scarcity is expensive, and he also knows that magic items like this, which cost tens of thousands of gold coins, are destined to be consumed by only a few people.

If there is too much of an influx into the market at once, it will inevitably lead to a price crash, as well as a series of troubles and serious consequences.

"Excellent! Give me two days to procure materials, and I'll come back to you in two days. ”

Aisha is visibly pleased with the efficiency of being able to make six energy storage units in a day.

This means that it takes up to two days to recoup the money you lost.

One only sells for 20,000 gold coins?

Are you kidding!

If a powerful magic item like this, which has no restrictions and can be used by ordinary people, is not sold for a high price of 25,000 to 30,000 gold coins, then this merchant will be too unsuccessful.

What's more, the purpose of the Aurora Magic Store is not to ask for the best, but to ask for the most expensive.

Of course, she would never tell Zuo Si the real price, but planned to calculate the share according to the selling price of each 20,000 gold coins.

I have to say that to a certain extent, the sorceress and Zuo Si are really a "perfect match".

Because they are all thinking about how to take advantage of each other desperately at the first time.

As for who exactly took advantage of it, it is unknown.

Anyway, both of them got what they wanted, which is a veritable "win-win".

After seeing Aisha leave the "Happy Hour" hotel, Zuo Si immediately extracted a part of the energy from the mana pool and established a new mana core through [Mimic].

So far, in his [Profession] column, in addition to the most basic [Traveling Mage], there is also the [Creator] obtained in the Tower of the Floating City, and now there is another [Mage].

Because of the intelligence bonus of up to 19, the mage gains two one-ring spell slots at LV1.

As for the zero-ring spells that cost negligible mana and are called "tricks" by mages, they can be cast many times a day.
