Chapter 709: Journalism, Sales
In the face of the initiative of Master Gilles Gaota Ace, Xia Duo behaved very flatly, except for asking the identity of the other party at the beginning, he rarely spoke later, just signaled the bartender Baker to continue to introduce.
In this introduction, Baker didn't turn around on selling simplified communication spells, but told an interesting story, which was also related to the new spell of magic web background communication-
"Just a few days ago, someone took some communication tools to sell them outside the teleportation room of the Arcane Federation, and it happened to bump into the maker himself, and it is rumored that the archmage was very annoyed that his work was being sold in this way, and immediately canceled his cooperation with that person."
"Is there already a communication artifact corresponding to the magic network background communication?" Xia Duo said suddenly.
Maybe it's an occupational disease again, Baker immediately took over the conversation and began to sell again: "Guest, you are asking the right person, at present, the Chamber of Commerce under the Seven Towers has begun to sell communication magic weapons, and I also have a simplified version for sale here." ”
After finishing speaking, Baker realized his mistake, his face turned pale, and he glanced at Ace opposite, seeing that Ace just glared at him, but didn't say anything, and continued, "Guest, do you need to see the goods?" ”
"Let's take a look!" Chateau did not refuse.
In fact, the monthly magazine of the Arcane Federation records several simple communication magic weapon schemes, and it also comes with a matching spell [Twin Seal] specially developed by Xia Duo for adding friends to communication magic weapons.
Soon, Baker took out a locked box from the backstage and opened it in front of Xia Duo, and there were seven or eight magical items neatly arranged inside.
The details of the exterior vary, but they can be roughly divided into crystal ball form and amulet form.
Baker carefully took out two representative communication devices, placed them on the bar, and gently pushed them towards the other side, while introducing:
"There is almost no limit to the communication distance of these two communication instruments, no matter how far the interval is, they can be contacted normally, but in terms of portability, these two will be different because of different forms, of course, the price will be different, the 500 gold coins on the left, and the 3000 on the right! If the customer really wants to sell, within my authority, I can give the customer the biggest discount! ”
500 in the crystal ball form and 3000 in the talisman form?
Xia Duo looked at these two different forms of communication magic devices on the bar, and was silent, with only one thought in his heart - to get rich!
For the time being, there is only one form of communication magic weapon that can be made by the Tirak laboratory, which is the more ordinary crystal ball form, but the total cost of various costs is less than 300 gold coins.
And that's just the current cost, and with the improvement of technology, and the reduction of more and more labor costs for mages under the new system, the cost will definitely continue to be reduced.
The profit margin is too big!
Judging from the usual style of the color-resistant mage, Xia Duo speculated that the cost of the two communication artifacts on the bar was estimated to be only about half of the selling price.
Of course, the labor of the manufacturer also accounts for about half of the cost, and it may even be higher.
But even so, the products of the Tirak laboratory have considerable advantages!
Carefully calculated, the reduction in material costs brought about by the [Eternal Magic] technology may not be as good as the reduction in labor costs brought about by the decomposition process and gradient wages.
The true power of the [Eternal Magic] technology can only be truly revealed when the price war begins in the future, and it is not obvious yet.
"Can you show me another crystal ball form?"
"No problem!"
Baker answered, immediately turned around and took out a crystal ball from the box that had not yet been closed, and put it in front of Xia Duo, "Feel free to look at the guests!" ”
With these words in mind, Xia Duo was naturally not polite, and directly got his hands on one, and then cast [Identification Technique] on it, and a faint white light gushed out, covering the entire crystal ball.
In this spell field similar to the "sandbox simulation space", Xia Duo clearly saw the internal operation status of this communication magic weapon.
Contrary to his expectations, this communication magic weapon did not take any encryption measures, and it ran completely naked, that is to say, anyone who bought this communication magic weapon was equivalent to being given this simplified version of the communication magic spell.
After that, Xia Duo checked two in a row, including a communication device in the form of a talisman, and none of the three took any encryption measures.
Moreover, he could also see that none of the three communication artifacts were made by the same person, and although they had the same function, they all had a distinctly different style in the wiring details of the Mithril components.
If it is from the same person, then Xia Duo is even happier, which shows that even if it is produced by one person, the producer is not aware of the role of standardization.
It is estimated that he will do this casually, and then give it to the mage tower to sell on his behalf.
"Guest, which do you want? Buy now and get an extra utility spell! ”
"It's the [Twin Seal], right?"
"Guest, how do you know!"
Baker suddenly realized how an arcane could need to buy a communication weapon from him, maybe one of his communication weapons was from the other party!
For a moment, Baker was a little at a loss, and at this moment, Xia Duo flicked the two communication magic devices towards his side: "I want these two!" ”
"Ahh
Baker was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a booklet from under the counter and put it in front of Xia Duo, "Guest, this is an extra gifted spell." ”
Whether the guest needs it or not, the giveaway should not be missing, not to mention that this is also part of the mission!
Xia Duo casually flipped through the booklet, and when he saw the contents of it, he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic, not so much the familiar spells, but the form of describing magic through words, which reminded him of the days when he first learned spells.
Although the Colorfast Mages have developed a relatively standard language for recording the details of spells, they are still not as concise and intuitive as Arcane Geometry.
Ever since he began to study arcane geometry, Xia Duo has rarely used the Chinese way of description, and even he has never thought about the question of "what is the linguistic description of [Twin Seals]".
When he created this spell, he recorded it through arcane geometry.
However, Xia Duo's silence may be a sign of hesitation in the eyes of others, and Ace on the side immediately found an opportunity, "Your Excellency Xia Duo, Baker's sales task was received from me, if Your Excellency really wants to buy, I still have two half-price permissions!" ”
"Then thank you Mage Ace!"
The benefits sent to the door, Xia Duo naturally had no reason not to accept them, this level of benefits still did not leave any traces in his heart, he bought these two communication magic devices just for Tirak and them to study and make a reference.
If you don't buy it here, you can buy it elsewhere, you can always get a discounted price as an Arcanist, and he knows the cost problem well, and the other party won't lose money at half price, just make less money.
What's more, Ace is not a maker, at most he is a superior agent, he himself will definitely not lose, and it is Baker who is really uncomfortable!
Sure enough, as soon as Ace finished speaking, Beck's face drooped, and he smiled as quickly as possible, but everyone could see that he was in a bad mood at the moment.
