"Taling, teleport her here!" Xia Duo ordered casually.

At the same time as the order was issued, Cecili, who was in the elevator, received a prompt from Taling: "Director Cecily, the agent Shado wants to teleport you to the tower master's study, do you agree?" ”

Cecily took a deep breath, her destination was the tower master's study, and she had only arrived after receiving a notification from Uncle Alberke that Shado was in Nia's study.

"Agreed!"

In the next moment, a white light flashed, and Cecily suddenly disappeared into the elevator, and the unmanned elevator also disintegrated in an instant and disappeared.

Nia's study.

After Xia Duo gave the order, Ta Ling did not react, he knew that Ta Ling could do it, and sure enough, the next moment, a white light appeared out of thin air-

Cecily appeared in front of him!

Xia Duo looked curiously at this girl who was about the same age as Niya, her appearance could only be considered ordinary, and there were even a few small freckles naughty hanging on her face.

But she has a generous demeanor and a calm face, and just standing there gives people a sense of calm and believable.

As the only female mage in the Tower of Time other than Nia, Cecily is also quite famous in the Tower of Time.

It's just that she is the same as Niya, before Niya's identity was officially revealed, both of them were academics of the Lord of Eps, rarely appeared, and were in a state of "only hearing his name, not seeing his person" all year round.

It wasn't until not long ago, after Nia inherited the Tower of Time, that she immediately replaced the head of supplies from Alberk to her, and everyone really got to know this supervisor with only a level 2 spell casting level.

And just when Xia Duo was observing Cecily, Cecily was also observing Xia Duo, as Niya's closest butler, she had already secretly observed Niya's two apprentices.

It wasn't the first time she had seen Shado, and even at the Midsummer Festival celebration not long ago, she had just met Shado, and when she saw him again today, Cecily was a little more surprised in her heart.

In the past few days, Xia Duo's appearance has not changed much, but his temperament is more lofty, and there is a touch of majesty, can the change of identity really bring such a big change?

Cecily looked and pondered quietly, and at the same time the etiquette was not lacking, "I've seen Lord Shado! ”

"Director Cecily, what are you looking for me? Is there a problem with the supplies department? Shado asked.

"Yes, although the materials department has received some of the materials supplemented by Lord Abbeck, there is still a big gap in the relevant materials in the long run."

Xia Duo knew what she meant by long-term speech, and now that the Tower of Time was in charge of his own affairs, he had to solve the problem!

"How much material is missing?"

Cecily had already prepared, and immediately reported them one by one, "According to the restoration plan, in addition to the ones that can be solved by following the plan in the future, there is also a shortage of 500 pounds of Mithril, 300 pounds of topaz, 100 pounds of peridot, 50 pounds of white, blue, yellow, red and purple five pure color crystals, and 20 pounds of blue, yellow, red and purple pure gems each——"

"Wait, wait!"

Hearing that series of numbers, Xia Duo couldn't help but gasp, and quickly interrupted Cecily, those kinds of gems aside, for the time being, Mithril alone would require 500 pounds.

The market transaction price of Mithril is not very high, it is about a few hundred gold coins per pound, but there are two more words, one is called "seller's market" and the other is called "strategic reserve"!

Whether there is a Mithril Mine in the Savile Territory, Xia Duo doesn't know for the time being, but there is a high probability that there should be none, and even if there is, it is not easy to suddenly conjure up 500 pounds of Mithril.

In the same way, the market is relatively stable, and it is not easy to suddenly make 500 pounds of Mithril.

"How did you get these materials in the past?"

"The gem is traded by the Territory Chamber of Commerce through the output of the Tower of Time, among which the high yield can also be bought with gold coins, but the Mithril can only be refined by the dwarves, and where there is a Mithril mine in the empire, even if it is mined, it can only be sold to the dwarves, and any vain attempt to refine it by itself has not succeeded in the end, and the Dwarves have a quota for the output of Mithril every year! Allocated to the Tower of Time, it's only a little over 100 pounds per year. ”

Speaking of which, Cecily's mood was a little low, 500 pounds of Mithril didn't seem to cost much, but it was actually the most troublesome to obtain.

The Mithril quota is allocated according to the number of mages in each mage tower and the mage tower in the arcane federation, and it is allocated to you, which is not equal to giving it for nothing, and it is also necessary to collect money.

Whether it's gold coins, or equivalent gems, magic items.

When he heard that the dwarves had even played with the export quota, Xia Duo's eyes widened, and he thought of the dwarf Blotto he knew.

The image of the stubborn and cheerful dwarf with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly became shrewd and cunning in his mind.

"What about the elves? Why not buy Mithril from the elves? Xia Duo asked again.

He had been in the Elven City of the Projection Plane for more than a year, and he knew that Mithril was also widely used in Elven society, but he had never heard that Mithril was bought from the dwarves.

Elves are supposed to have the technology to refine Mithril.

However, after listening to Xia Duo's words, Cecily suddenly smiled, "My lord, you shouldn't have been to Connefila City, right?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"My lord, the elves don't sell Mithril directly to us, they will only shape the image of Mithril at random, and then put it in the store as a work of art at a price that is several times or even dozens of times higher, attracting human merchants to buy it."

“……”

Xia Duo finally understood, the affection of Nesseriel has been reduced to a raw material producer and exporter, and the dwarven country may be better, but the elves are just cutting leeks on the ground.

However, knowing this didn't help him much in his current situation, and even if he knew more, he couldn't conjure Mithril out of thin air.

And there are also those gems, which need to be traded for food, gold, and even magic items in the Tower of Time.

First of all, the restoration work cannot be stopped, which is fundamental.

Then now it is no longer possible to throttle, it must be open source!

Otherwise, once the Tower of Time and the Savile Collar are financially bankrupt, let alone the restoration work, it is a question of whether this Mage Tower can be saved.

The current Xia Duo is not aware of the damage to the Tower of Time for the time being, but there is a problem with some of the magic circles in the low-ring state of the downgrade program, and it does not affect the normal use of the current high-ring state.

Even the energy acquisition is normal, but it is just that it is in the chaotic area of the magic net, which is a little less than usual, and the consumption is a little more.

Nia left in a hurry, only explaining a few important things, although the restoration work was important, but it was not urgently needed, and it was okay to carry it out if it could be carried out, and it was okay if it could not be suspended for a while.

On the contrary, it is more important to maintain low energy consumption in order to increase energy reserves.

If Nia is here, it will not be difficult to make a choice, but in the case of Xia Duo, he has already begun to rack his brains to make gold coins from open source.

I have to say that because of the two people's different perceptions of the current state of the Tower of Time, there was a big oolong.
