Chapter 1223 Permit to build towers, make money with talismans
"This, this -"
When asked about building a mage tower in Severton, Evans was a little confused. He really didn't know enough about this aspect, so he could only reluctantly answer:
"Sir, there has been no new mage tower in Severton for many years. If you want to know the situation in this regard, perhaps it would be more appropriate to ask the Severington Council."
"Tell me everything you know!"
"Sir, what I know are some hearsay rumors. They may not be correct. I can only give you some reference. If you don't mind, then I will tell you."
"Tell me!" Xia Duo doesn't mind whether it's a rumor or not. It's enough to have a reference. He will also consult other people.
After receiving Chateau's confirmation, Evans stopped worrying about anything and told everything he knew about the situation:
"Sir, I heard that if you want to build a mage tower in Severton, you must first obtain permission from the Severington Council, and you must also go to the Alfa Federation to purchase a mysterious item."
"What mysterious item is it? How many gold coins does it cost? And do you know what are the requirements for obtaining permission from the Severington Council?"
"Sir, how can I, a bartender, know this?"
After hearing this, Xia Duo no longer pressed, at least now he knew that if he wanted to build a new mage tower in Severton, he needed to go through at least two procedures.
As for the conditions required after these two procedures, it doesn't hurt to ask someone later. Anyway, he doesn't have the money to build a mage tower now.
Especially after purchasing this manor with 350,000 gold coins, you may be in a tight situation for quite some time.
However, for these 35 gold coins, Shado is not planning to use the proceeds from the Tower of Time communication weapon. He is planning to raise the money himself. This can be regarded as a small surprise for Niya!
…
Taking out a new gold coin from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce from his pocket, Chateau thought for a moment and cast a 3-level spell [Will Shield] on it, then threw it to Evans.
Evans reached out and caught the gold coin steadily. The Mingshui Chamber of Commerce was very efficient in promoting new coins. Evans was no stranger to the style of this new gold coin, but the bright magic aura on it made him confused.
He was a little frightened, and even spoke with a vibrato:
"Sir, this is-"
"A small gadget can help you resist an attack from psychic magic. Remember to carry it with you." Xia Duo explained casually, seemingly casually.
"Soul Talisman?!" Evans was overjoyed.
Although he can use magic items, as an ordinary person, he is still wary of magic, especially in Severton, a city almost full of spellcasters.
There are often rumors in the market that someone is controlled by evil magic and becomes a puppet of an evil wizard. Of course, Evans does not believe such rumors, but the existence of psychic magic is an indisputable fact.
Evans has many talismans that protect against magic. In addition to the psychic talisman that specifically protects against psychic magic, this has been a long-standing problem for him.
Now that he has obtained a spiritual talisman, and obtained it from a senior arcanist, how could he not be overjoyed!
But after calming down, Evans still held the spiritual amulet in the shape of a gold coin in both hands, sent it to Sha Duo, and said sincerely:
"Sir, this is too valuable. You can find someone in the port area to do what I did. It's really not worth paying for such a spiritual amulet. Please take it back!"
And what he hasn't said yet is that this Lord of Chateau is an existence that the person behind him emphasizes to respect. If he takes this amulet today, the person behind him may escort him to Lord Chateau tomorrow.
Perhaps this possibility is extremely small, but Evans's survival in Severton relies on more than just a little bartending and business skills.
What should be done and what should not be done, what should be said and what should not be said, what should be taken and what should not be taken, this is the great wisdom of survival.
However, Xia Duoke doesn't care what Evans thinks. There is no reason to take back the things he gave away, and Evans will be used to raise the money to buy the house later. Who is willing to work for you sincerely if you don't feed him?
!
"Take it, you deserve this! If you still feel that you have not done enough, then help me find more buyers for this spiritual talisman!"
After hearing that Sha Duo said there was still a mission, Evans no longer insisted on handing back the spiritual amulet, but solemnly put it away. Then he immediately entered the state and asked about the details of the mission:
"Sir, if you want to sell this kind of spiritual talisman, please inform me of its specific properties, price, and who you think is feasible."
Seeing this, Xia Duo nodded with satisfaction, and then began to introduce: "This kind of spiritual amulet can resist psychic spell attacks at the highest level of 3 levels.
"If it is to resist a third-level spell, it can only resist it once. After one time, the amulet will be completely ineffective. If it is below the third-level level, as long as the gold coin carrier is not destroyed, it will always be usable, but there must be an interval between each time it resists a psychic spell attack.
At least 1 hour!
"As for the price, it will be based on 1,000 gold coins. You will be given a 5% commission on the excess. However, I ask that my identity not be revealed. At the same time, I must make the most money in the shortest time possible!"
When Evans heard this, he immediately realized that Lord Shado was raising money for the Hallanside Manor. As for not revealing his identity, it might be related to the death of the Grand Arcanist that was suddenly reported this morning.
Thinking of this, Evans did not dare to think any further and quickly accepted the task and said: "Lord Chateau, please rest assured, Evans will definitely live up to his mission!"
"That's good. If this thing goes well, I can give you a few more soul talismans."
Unless the talisman is of extremely high quality, it is just a consumable. No amount is too much, and Xia Duo is not worried that it will not attract Evans.
However, he did not pin all his hopes of raising funds on Evans. He had other methods, but those methods required some special circumstances, and it was impossible to use them just standing here.
…
After sending Evans away, Chateau lingered outside the manor called "Harlanside" for a while to observe, and then followed the path he came from and headed south into the trading area.
Next, he was going to meet the seller of this manor, a businessman named "Jarlaxle Harlan".
350,000 is just the public selling price that Evans inquired about, and may not be the final transaction price. Anyway, we need to save money now, so why not go for a bargain?
It might even be faster than saving money directly!
It's a coincidence that Shado and "Jarlaxle Harlan" can still have some relationship if they forcefully talk about it. He bought a ship in Severton before, and the captain Bill he recruited was from Harlan.
