Shaking his head, the mage refocused his attention on what was in front of him

In fact, in the eyes of a mage, this is a very rough creation, only a few iron boxes and discs, joined into a bottomless barrel-like shape, not to mention the slightest beauty, let alone magic, even the metal used is the simplest steel, even if the dark blue color shows a high smelting technology, but in the eyes of a mage, it still can't change the essence of its inferior materials

But it's such a thing, but it has that power?

The mage named Lang Long reached out and grabbed the grip on the disc under the thing, and after a little blocking, the ground crackled with a crisp sound, and the machine trembled slightly, and a steel arrow once again hit the wall fifty or sixty feet away!

"Very delicate creation, Lord Edward, beyond my expectations," the mage furrowed, took a crystal cup from the old butler beside him, and sat down on the side, trying not to show his intention on his face

"You're wrong, your Excellency, it's just a little artifact of little worthlessness, Hans, take a couple of gentlemen to the warehouse and check the armor and weapons."

Edward said casually, " This is the idea put forward by a friend of mine, he is going to order a batch from me, this is a sample of the finished product, although this is only a prototype, so the appearance is a little cumbersome, but the maximum range is about 800 feet, the accuracy is average, as for the power, within 500 feet, you can penetrate the ordinary steel cuirass in addition to easy operation, the faster you shake, the faster the emissivity, the limit, about two to three breaths of course, I also have a model that is being assembled, can shoot side by side, reduce the degree of emission, but can be volleyed, creating a rain of arrows......”

"You mean this thing...... Is it a commodity?" the mage said almost subconsciously, and then frowned at his watch, but fortunately, the young man was sipping the wine in his glass and didn't seem to notice his watch, "Your Excellency, are you interested too?" he asked

It's impossible to say that there is no interest, right?

Although Longlon was a mage, as an advisor to the Duke of Greenland, he had a certain understanding of warfare and territorial governance, and it was naturally easy to understand what this weapon could bring...... He originally planned to make a request to buy it, but he didn't think it would be an easy task in his consciousness, but unexpectedly, the other party didn't seem to pay much attention to this weapon at all

Or should we thank the goddess of magic for making most mages more pronounced in matters other than spells...... Be indifference to?

"Of course, I'm interested, Your Excellency's idea is a bit unexpected to me, but I think it should be a good weapon to be exciting" Suppressing a little joy in his heart, Lang Long cautiously tentatively said, "I don't know how you plan to sell it?"

"Hmm, you're stumped me, Your Excellency Longlon," Edward showed a thoughtful expression, and then stretched out three fingers on one hand: "How about three thousand gold coins for the unit price?"

"Three thousand......"

With an unenchanted weapon, this is indeed outrageously expensive, you must know that a set of full-body armor created by a master is only more than two thousand gold coins, and often one or two practical small magic coins are attached, and if you use it to hire mercenaries, three thousand gold coins are enough in exchange for a mercenary group of about 100 people to serve for a month

But this price doesn't seem to be very surprising, such a well-crafted machine must be expensive, not to mention, the pure steel arrow, the cost of one is several times that of ordinary arrows, and the most important thing is that when such a mechanism appears on the battlefield, ordinary archers naturally lose their meaning......

It's expensive and it's worth the money

This kind of thing, not a magic weapon, but it is also like a magic weapon, as long as it is used properly, it can replace at least one squadron of manpower, or even more, whether it is a raid or a guard, it has more flexibility

In fact, if you calculate carefully, the price of three thousand gold coins can't even be regarded as expensive Training a qualified archer, but not as long as a person has a bow, can draw a bow and shoot arrows, strength and eyesight need to be cultivated, and this also causes the archer's plain zhì is often uneven, and the shooting is not the same, where can it be as tireless as a machine, and keep working in the best condition?

And unlike the machinery that can be repaired if it is damaged, and only needs to find a place to put it, each archer is a living person, and it is also a large expense to hire them to go to the battlefield and provide them with food and drink...... The losses add up to more than just money

Even if it is a few thousand gold coins, as long as it can be exchanged for the lives of a dozen of the most valuable enemies, it is still a hundred knights to go out of battle once, and the actual effective damage caused is only six or seven hundred people on the other side, and the real knights may only be a few dozen, and they still have to lose something, and they have to buy horses and equipment for the knights, pay salaries, and ...... This adds up to the fact that a lowest-ranking knight is worth a few hundred gold coins, and now if you have the opportunity to do it with a few thousand gold coins, and even kill more, then you will earn it anyway

"Oh, by the way, there is also the power of this weapon, the general arrow will be broken because of the impact is too large, the range will also be affected, you must use special steel arrows, so the cost is also a little expensive, a silver coin, but, after all, we are old friends, there is a friendship between each other, so, if you need, I buy ten get one free, and each crossbow, I can personally give five thousand steel arrows"

"It's too stingy, isn't it?,But,This kind of thing can be made by a mage.,Even if you provide it.,It's just a cast time."

"Oh, you can't say that, Miss Vilarlian, a five-ring spell costs at least five hundred gold coins, whether it's a hired or copied scroll, that one magic can make five thousand, no, five thousand five hundred arrows? Or, do you think the loss of the seven-ring spell is smaller?

Tapping a finger at the corner of his forehead, Edward said casually: "I'm not short of money now, so let's replace it with something else, first of all, 50,000 pounds of refined iron, of course, not ore or rough slag, I don't want to do another refurnace work, and ......"

"Fifty thousand pounds...... Please wait a minute, Lord Edward."

Obviously, this figure is really a bit outrageous, and it is groundless, so everyone didn't even stop him at the first time, and they didn't even know what he was talking about: "This, Lord Edward, although there is iron ore in the Duke's territory, the price of refined iron has not been reduced to that Cheng dù, if converted into gold coins, five gold coins and one pound of refined iron is already the lowest price, are you, is there any misunderstanding?"

In fact, the mage's heart was even a little skeptical for a while if the little guy in front of him had not learned to count...... Or are you expecting too much from yourself? That number is child's play...... Fifty thousand pounds of iron, did he think that iron was a stone on the riverbank? A pound of iron was mined and refined, and the labor required was not much less than that of gold, except that the iron ore was more abundant

"Ah sorry, I may not have explained it clearly?" Edward looked surprised, "Well, I mean, there's something special about the way I buy and sell this item...... 100 crossbow machines are batched each, and they are not retailed."

"What?"

This time, even the female swordmaster let out a low exclamation, "Are you trying to cheat?" and she then sneered, "Do you think we need this kind of broken metal of yours very much, or do we look like drunks and fools in the tavern?"

"Please be uneasy, Lord Veralian,"

The mage shook his head at the female swordmaster, then turned his gaze back and stared at Edward indifferently, obviously angered by this random variable: "That is to say, we must buy one hundred units of each of the two at one time before we can trade?"

"Forced buying and selling will only arise under the premise of the entanglement of monetary interests, and we are just discussing" Edward showed a slightly disappointed look: "Unfortunately, if you can't make a decision on this matter, then there is no point in us continuing to talk, I think, it's a pity that I still discuss this matter with His Excellency the Duke himself, but it doesn't matter, after all, the deal is not benevolent, or does the Duke prefer to be able to make a decision after seeing some successful examples?"

"I don't think it's a question of who can make the decision, we can't afford to pay such a huge price for something we don't need."

"Yes, I think it's really just a matter of deciding...... I think His Excellency the Duke will be interested, at least not less than that one, ahh...... I thought that one sheep was also driven and two sheep were also herded."

Edward nodded casually, his smile not at all in a hurry, "That's okay, anyway, I think you'll see the actual effect of this thing soon, or maybe you'll change your mind then, anyway, the door of Burgundy is always open to friends, and I'm always willing to provide the Duke and his army with the best weapons."

What does that mean?

The mage looked up keenly, as if to catch an important message from the other party's words

"With all due respect, you mean, one of your friends has a lot of ...... This kind of ballista?" He hesitated, but then said, "But"

The room suddenly fell silent for a while, and Edward gently shook the wine glass in his hand, feeling the love of everyone in front of him with great interest

The only problem with this weapon is that although it has a complex structure, it is not an electronic product or the like, and it has a technical generation difference that cannot be imitated, even if it is subject to the accuracy of the system, it must be done by the mage, but a high-level mage can imitate one of these repeating crossbows in at least one day as long as he is well prepared, and even a high-level mage can make two of them in a day's spell slots, at best, there are some problems in shooting accuracy, and it is not an obstacle at all to use it in battle formations

There is no so-called patent protection in this world, so the psychic warlock must sell enough in a single transaction, otherwise, the transaction will be meaningless As a former citizen of the glorious Central Food Country, he also knows what kind of damage the so-called reverse engineering will cause

Hold on

"Ah, I wonder if you've heard that with the help of the Academy, Camino City has now been included in the kingdom's territory?" Edward raised his cup lightly, as if chatting

"I've heard a little," the mage's face remained unchanged, but the slightest movement in his heart made his attention shift and relax a little

The change of hands of a city, or the importance of it, but for two countries, it is not much news worth paying attention to, the key is the more information behind the news

In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Tumenes, at least the last three hundred years, the Academy has never actively participated in any war, and the owner of the seven towers of the Academy's predecessor has signed a contract with this dynasty to ensure its survival, but will not be driven away by it

"The world is very vast, just like our thirst for knowledge...... Haha, there are a lot of things, the more the merrier, isn't it?" Edward smiled: "So, that friend of mine should be excited, he is a little fanfare, of course, I don't quite understand, what he is pursuing, the pursuit of the essence of this world, for you and me is the purpose and meaning of survival, isn't it? However, although there is only one kind of truth, it seems to have a different appearance in everyone's eyes, just like the core and the skin."

What is he implying for?

Who's his friend? No, it's anyone.

As a Juggernaut, she could scoff at such an attack, or a high-ranking mage could have a way to deal with it...... However, on this big 6, it is obvious that not every nobleman with an important status can have the same powerful power to ignore this terrible weapon

"Of course,"

Of course, this doesn't have to be used on the battlefield...... Actually, I have a headache too, because if this thing is so delicately made, it can fit in a carriage, and you can go out by pulling it, you say how troublesome it is

The mage couldn't help but subconsciously turn his gaze, and glanced at each other with the female sword master, both of whom saw a little stiffness on their faces in each other's eyes

A horse-drawn carriage...... Imagine a noble carriage passing through the streets in the middle of a noisy city, or on some traffic artery, which is a common sight in any city that does not need to be repeated, but whether it is the window of a certain street, or a staggered delivery wagon, or even the window of a small building in a distant place, a shower of arrows is enough to envelop a person's surroundings in an instant, cutting off all his life, and even leaving no room for reaction

There is not a trace of magic fluctuations on this thing, it is difficult to cause prophecy, or the reaction of protective spells, and the methods of ordinary mages do not have much effect on it, and the range of hundreds of feet, the continuous attack, can also be as unguardable as magic

"I can give you ten crosses, but you must pay me the price of a hundred at once and then sign a soul contract with me,"

This thing, whether it is used on the battlefield or for assassination, will shock the whole world (to be continued......
