Chapter 1343: Harvest the Adventurers and Prepare the Hole Cards
Xia Duo is not an expert negotiator who is well-versed in human nature, but he is a great arcanist who is good at mind spells.
It's okay to cheat once in a while without being detected.
Of course, he just spied on the bottom line of the other party's negotiations, so as to make a choice that was more in line with his own interests, and did not affect or even manipulate the other party's mind.
If it were someone else, it might have gone even further.
However, Xia Duo also reminded himself all the time that it was harmless to do this kind of thing once in a while, but if it was used as the main means, it would only be a matter of time before the car overturned.
……
After the signing was completed, Lord Harran left a batch of materials and left, and shortly after he left, Evans also came to the Azure Manor.
And this time, Evans' arrival really brought a surprise to Xia Duo - the four adventurer teams had an order for a total of 52 demon slaying charms.
According to Xia Duo's previous offer to Evans, a 5,000 gold coin can be settled with precious metals and gemstones, and the cost of such a large order will not exceed 100,000 at most.
But this amount made it difficult for Xia Duo, and this time he only brought an additional 25 in addition to the 100 demon slaying talismans that he delivered to Lord Harran.
That's less than half of the order that Evans pulled!
And for the purpose of hiding the true production capacity of the Tower of Time, it is impossible to sell all of the existing 25 pieces, and Xia Duo originally planned to sell only about 10 pieces.
But now this is the case!
What a blissful annoyance!
And those veteran adventurers, who are all very rich, but want to go to the Dark Regions to participate in the war against Drow, if they don't loot them now, if they die in the Dark Regions, then their money will not be wasted.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo felt that it was nothing to release all 25 demon slaying talismans, and if the long-term transaction continued, Lord Harran and even others would always be aware of the true production capacity of the Tower of Time.
Besides, when other mage towers popularize mass production, the real production capacity will be actively exposed (part or even all) as an absolute competitiveness to win orders.
It's just that even if all 25 pieces are taken out, this situation is not enough now!
Of course, Xia Duo is not worried about being urged by adventurers, but he can't make a lot of money in front of him, which is really a bit bad!
"Evans, do you know exactly when the four adventurer teams will leave?"
"I don't know exactly when it will be, but I know that they are all ready to leave after the Northland Alliance is formed."
"That's it!"
Xia Duo now knew that the establishment of the Northland Alliance would be on the fourth day of next month, and it was now the end of the month, and the real end of the month, and it would only be four or five days before the alliance was formed.
However, with the production efficiency of the Demon Slayer Talisman team of the Tower of Time Magic Technician Department, four or five days was enough time for them to produce enough semi-finished products.
The only inconvenience may be the cost of teleportation to and from the south.
If you don't want to waste it in this regard, Xia Duo can also cast a spell to teleport by himself, but it involves a large order of more than ten or two hundred thousand profits, and Xia Duo is not reluctant to only have a few thousand teleportation fees.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo knew what to do, so he immediately instructed Evans:
"For the time being, there is no need to pull orders for demon slaying talismans, those adventurers who want to go to the dark region must be indispensable for vigilance talismans, communication magic weapons, and missile wands or some powerful magic scrolls can also be used as the final hole cards to sell these to them."
The latter few magic items mentioned by Xia Duo are all mass-produced by the Tower of Time, and now that Severant also has to sell, he believes that those adventurer teams will definitely be prepared, but even if the target already has similar products, good sales can also make the other party buy some more.
Even if it is for the sake of the face of the demon slaying talisman, those adventurers will buy some of it, and now at this point in time, it is estimated that the only thing that can be sold is the Tower of Time.
For adventurers, it is a sum to be able to slaughter, anyway, I don't know when they will hang up, if they don't slaughter now, maybe they won't be able to slaughter in the future.
Evans immediately understood Xia Duo's intentions, and hurriedly made the package ticket, "I will definitely not disappoint the adults." ”
"Excellent! As for the Demon Slaying Talisman, I will contact you again in a few days, you tell those adventurers that the total number of Demon Slaying Talismans may be relatively small, and those paid for with Adamantite, Mithril, and Five-colored Gems can be ranked first. ”
In fact, the more valuable things on the adventurers may be the ancient magic weapons in some ruins, but those things are more troublesome to identify, in addition to the identification itself, it is also very troublesome for those adventurers to take them out.
Even in Severton, it is not impossible to eat and drink in the dark.
Xia Duo knew that he was not, but those adventurers did not know, and instead of bothering to build trust, it was better to settle directly in hard currency.
In the future, the Tower of Time and the name of Xia Duo will one day become a golden sign that is trusted by everyone.
"Besides, Ava, you've seen him, he hasn't been here for a long time, and he's not very familiar with all aspects, so if you have time to take him with you, I won't treat anyone who has merit."
"Yes."
Evans immediately responded deferentially.
Seeing this, Xia Duo didn't say anything more, waved his hand and let him leave. Looking at the back of Evans leaving, Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh.
Evans is very good at handling things in all aspects, and if he is not from the Seven Towers, then Xia Duo is willing to come forward to recruit the other party in person.
It's a pity that the current prestige of the Tower of Time in Severton is far less than that of the Seven Towers, and even for a long time, it is difficult to surpass.
Now Chado can only use Evans as an ordinary clerk, and when Ava is more familiar with Severton, then he will naturally appoint Ava, who is closer and more trustworthy.
……
Summoned to Nia, asking her to inform the Magical Mechanics to continue producing the Demon Slayer Amulet, Shado himself returned to the Arcane Federation after chatting with Ava for a while.
He had just received a summons from Iolum that he would leave a day earlier, at noon on the third day of July, four days later.
Taking advantage of this time, Xia Duo decided to make one or two guaranteed magic items for himself, after all, he was going abroad, and in case of any accidents, even if safety was not a big problem, he couldn't be too embarrassed.
……
The private laboratory of the Arcane Federation was always kept by Shado, and as soon as he came, he closed the inside and outside, and laid a magic to avoid detection, and then took out the materials that had just been left behind by Lord Harran.
Let's embezzle it first, there are many anyway, and there is no shortage of this.
The first step is, of course, to purify Mithril, and the Mithril provided by Lord Harran is only a third-class product one grade higher than the standard Mithril, and high-quality magic items also require at least first-class Mithril.
During the purification period, Xia Duo can also think about what he wants to do next.
He only became a Grand Arcanist yesterday, and he really didn't have much time to design magic items that contained 10 rings of spells, but 9 rings were still possible, and there were a lot of plans.
