"Lord Shador, we are going to have an exchange meeting related to the plane realm, and at least all of the mages present are high-level mages, do you want to come? The venue is set at the Austrian Federation! ”

The summons came from a high-ranking mage from the Morion Tower, Steele, with whom Xia Duo had crossed paths twice before, both at exchange meetings.

One was organized by Belera in order to meet the conditions for applying for the advanced laboratory of the Gilstall Tower, and the other was organized by Chado himself in order to make a name for himself.

In these two exchange meetings, Xia Duo had a good impression of the Steele mage, who was a "fool" who devoted himself to magic.

Xia Duo never thought that it would be Steele who contacted him, could it be that this guy is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Or is this guy being taken advantage of?

At this time, Niya saw that his face was different after receiving a summons, and she couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong?" Who contacted you? Is something wrong? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's Master Steele, he invited me to an exchange meeting at the Arcane Federation!"

"Steele?"

Nia seemed to have heard the name somewhere, but it didn't matter, what mattered was the exchange meeting, and her eyes immediately widened, "Archmage Greta said it!" You can't go! ”

"Hmm!"

Shado nodded heavily, giving Nia a relieved look, not to mention that when they first arrived in Severton, Greta had said that if someone sent an invitation to the exchange meeting, he would contact her!

Even yesterday, when Shado returned from the Half-Plane, Greta reminded everyone that it was best not to leave the Old Town until the celebration.

Like today, don't he and Nia know that the new town is more lively and fun?

Of course, it's because of Gretta's reminder!

"Then I'll contact the archmage now!"

Without waiting for Xia Duo to say anything, Nia had already started to contact Gretta, and I don't know what she ended up saying, but after the arraignment, Nia seemed to be in a much better mood.

"The archmage said that he would investigate Steele after the celebration, so let's wait in peace."

"Hmm!"

……

After that, until the celebration, Xia Duo did not receive any invitations to exchange meetings, but the appraiser and high-level mage of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, Pelokan, contacted him and asked about the production of communication magic weapons.

Xia Duo made an appointment with him to meet after the celebration, and when the time came, it was not only the communication device that would be discussed, but also a new contract for the supply of raw materials.

Now the Tower of Time already has a dedicated magic technician, and it also has a plan for the mass production of magic items in addition to communication magic weapons.

Even if it is just a communication device, with the current supply of raw materials, it is also insufficient, and if you want to produce it on a large scale, how can you have no resources.

Not to mention, the Great Xia Territory is still in the development stage, and the resources have not yet begun to be explored, and the Saville Territory itself is also quite lacking in resources, and there is only one silver mine and one iron ore in the territory.

Other resources that the magic industry wants, such as mythril, gems, gold, and adamantite, are basically gone, and there is no other way to do it except to buy them out for the time being.

At present, the relationship between the Tower of Time and the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is also intimate, not to mention the existing communication artifact consignment business, just Xia Duo saved the chief consultant of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, senior arcanist Said, it is worth the boss's favor.

This is what President Jenna of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce personally admitted, and Master Byron was present to testify, thinking that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce would not be so easy to rely on.

Therefore, it is only natural for the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to seek more resources to improve the depth of cooperation between the two sides.

Of course, from a long-term perspective, Xia Duo is bound to be unwilling to let the foundation of the rise of the Tower of Time be in the hands of a chamber of commerce, and must find other sources of resources.

But in a short period of time, cooperating with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as the best, most convenient and easiest way for Tower of Time to seek development.

In addition, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce was originally introduced by the princess after Niya asked for help, and also helped the Tower of Time through a rather difficult time.

This alone made it difficult for Xia Duo to refuse cooperation with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.

……

Considering the excitement of the New Year's celebrations, even if it is artificial, for most people, they are not aware of the difference.

Xia Duo handed over the batch of communication artifacts he brought from the Tower of Time to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce in advance, and if he could sell them during the celebration, it would be a lot of income.

At present, the total output of the two communication device production workshops of the Tower of Time is 12 pieces per day, and the yield rate is only two-thirds, but even so, it can produce 360 pieces of good products every month.

According to the consignment contract with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, the advance payment for each communication magic device is 600 gold coins, which is a monthly fixed income of more than 200,000 yuan.

That's just the advance payment, and after the follow-up communication device is sold, there will be a final payment.

Even after deducting the consignment sales share of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, the cost of raw materials, the wages of magic technicians, and the mass production design of the Tirak Research Laboratory, the final net income is also very considerable.

In just one month, it is far more than 50,000 (annual) net income, including going to Savile to lead the tower of the same time.

But there is a lot to earn, and there are a lot to spend, there are nearly a thousand apprentices in the Tower of Time at present, according to the contract that Xia Duo gave to these apprentices before, the training cost of each apprentice for three years is 1000 gold coins.

That's 1 million.

But in fact, it can't be counted like this, the apprenticeship contract given by Xia Duo is still goodwill, and it is calculated according to the kind of free-range apprentices in the past.

At present, the training model of the Tower of Time is an academy, with almost unlimited basic knowledge, new teaching methods, and perfect teaching facilities.

In the past, this was called an elite education training method, and the training cost of each apprentice was definitely more than 1,000 gold coins.

Of course, as long as a full-fledged mage is trained, it's time to make money.

Although Xia Duo hopes that magic will flourish and usher in a real magic world, he will not be able to learn the practice of completely sacrificing himself to achieve others.

We must find a win-win route in it, which is the route that can truly develop for a long time.

……

On the eve of the celebration, Xia Duo's heart was much calmer, and he no longer had the previous worries and hesitations, and he was even in the mood to think about the future development direction of the Tower of Time, the Saville Territory, the Great Xia Territory, and even the entire Nesser.

"Maybe after tomorrow, it will be the beginning of a new era!" For some reason, before he finally fell asleep, such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"I hope so!"

At this point, he no longer wanted to trace the specific source of this thought, and the real and soft touch of Nia's body beside him quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Wake up and the celebration begins!
