Chapter 1341 Invitation to go abroad and delivery of orders
At this time, Iolum also talked about Sha Duo's arrangements for that day, "You will go there with me then. While you are young, you should go out more."
"Um."
Shado agreed immediately. In fact, he understood what Iolum really meant. It should be that it would be more troublesome to go abroad after becoming a Grand Arcanist, because others would doubt your purpose.
This is similar to placing nuclear weapons in other countries on Earth, or restricting travel abroad in order to protect the safety of important scientific researchers.
The Grand Arcanist combines the attributes of a nuclear weapon and an important scientific researcher!
In fact, Xia Duo wanted to hide his current situation largely because of this. Senior Arcanists and Grand Arcanists received completely different levels of attention.
…
After leaving Iolum, Shado went straight to the Azure Manor on the edge of the old city. Of course, he did not forget to notify Lord Harlan and Evans.
And when he walked outside the Azure Manor, Lord Harlan also happened to arrive. As soon as he saw Charles Harlan, he greeted him expectantly:
"Lord Xia Duo, I've finally waited for you! Well, about that order—"
"Lord Harlan, you don't believe me!"
Xia Duo shook his head, ignoring the anxious look in the other person's eyes, and deliberately paused before saying: "Don't worry, the order has been completed. I called you here just to let you inspect the goods! Let's go, let's go inside!"
With that said, Xia Duo stretched out his hand and pointed towards the inside of the manor. At this moment, Ava, who heard the movement, had already come out to greet him.
Although Charles Harlan was very anxious, he was not unable to wait even this little time. Accompanied by Sha Duo, the two followed Ava, who came out to greet him, through a shallow grove to arrive.
Go to the front of the villa.
Once here, Ava resigned and left, and then Sha Duo took Lord Harlan to the main reception room on the first floor of the villa.
Of course, Lord Harlan himself is also very familiar with this place. After all, this place belonged to him before, but now it has a new owner.
…
After entering the reception room and taking their seats, Xia Duo did not continue to tantalize his appetite. He immediately took out three small lidless boxes from his personal space, cast a levitation spell and pushed them in front of Lord Harlan:
"Here are the 100 demon-slaying talismans we agreed upon. Lord Harlan might as well check it out."
The interior of the small wooden box was divided into 6*6 small grids. The 100 demon-slaying talismans filled two boxes exactly, leaving 8 spaces in the last box.
Charles Harlan only glanced at it and determined that each of the 100 items exuded a bright and stable magical aura. He picked up a two-finger-sized amulet from a box and examined it carefully.
The surface of the amulet is very simple, without the complicated patterns of common amulets, only a smooth silver mirror surface.
Looking at the link between the talisman and the magic network, Charles Harlan suddenly frowned. He didn't care whether it was encrypted or not. Anyway, the design drawings were not his, and the goods were for the dwarves, but there seemed to be something wrong with the link.
Just as he was hesitating to ask, Xia Duo took the initiative and said, "Lord Harlan, what do you think is wrong with these demon-slaying amulets?"
"Lord Shado, these demon-slaying amulets are indeed high-level magic items, but they don't seem to be made according to the design drawings!"
Although Charles Harlan failed to become an arcanist, this does not mean that his early attainments in the field of magic were very low, but he just happened to be slightly behind at that stage.
Even if there is a layer of encryption to disguise it, he can still be sure that the manufacturing method of this amulet is entirely the Nese magic system, not the Elf magic system in the design.
In this regard, Xia Duo's explanation is, "In order to facilitate the production of other people in the Tower of Time, I converted the elven magic in the drawings into Nese magic. If Lord Harlan needs it, I can also convert the Nese magic version."
I leave the design to you."
“This, this—isn’t it troublesome?”
"Haha, of course it's not troublesome."
Xia Duo smiled slightly and took out the design of the Nese version of the demon-slaying amulet that he had prepared from his personal space. Of course, this design is just a translation and transformation of the elf version, and it still has some similarities with the mass-produced version currently used in the Tower of Time.
Different.
However, in terms of the core function settings, there is no essential difference from the current ones.
Of course, due to the conversion of different magic systems, both the design drawings he has taken out now and the 100 finished products are slightly different from the original Elf Demon-Slaying Talisman.
Similar to the difference between √2 and 1.414.
If some magic is directly converted, there may be a gap that is not negligible with the original version. This requires someone who is proficient in both magic systems to perform targeted optimization.
However, the conversion of the Demon-Slaying Talisman this time was relatively clever, and the difference was negligible, otherwise Xia Duo would not have been able to come up with the design so easily.
Just because it is a literal translation, you only need to find a high-level mage who has some understanding of the principles of elf magic and spend some time to figure it out.
As for subsequent local optimization and even mass production design, more professional people are needed.
In fact, Lord Harlan didn't even ask about the difference in transformation. He just looked at the design drawings for a while and then used identification magic to test the functions of a few talismans. The inspection was completed.
"Lord Xia Duo, this is the gold coin exchange voucher for the Arcane Federation, a total of 100,000 gold coins!"
After confirming that the goods were correct, Charles Harlan readily paid for the foundry fee, which totaled 100,000 gold coins. On average, each amulet cost 1,000 gold coins.
This is indeed a large expense, but compared to other spellcasters, the price of the Tower of Time is already relatively low, and Charles Harlan is more willing to pay the money.
As for Xia Duo, he simply checked it and collected it after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the exchange voucher. In fact, even without these OEM fees, the Tower of Time would not lose much.
You must know that the yield rate agreed upon between the two parties was 70%. In other words, Lord Harlan gave 140 pieces of materials at that time, and the excess was the wastage rate.
If the finished product yield of the Tower of Time is less than 70% and 140 materials are not enough, then you have to make up the materials required for 100 finished products.
And if the finished product rate is higher than 70%, the extra materials will naturally not be returned to Lord Harlan, and it will be a pure profit.
For this order, Tower of Time's yield is close to 90%, and the profit can be imagined.
In addition to the 100,000 yuan in OEM fees, even after deducting the wages of the magic technicians and the maintenance costs of the Tower of Time facilities and equipment, you can earn almost 80,000 to 90,000 yuan!
And if those materials that should have been included in the loss but were saved are made into demon-slaying amulets and sold at a price close to the market price, then the profit will be even more.
Basically, Xia Duo can be sure that for this order, Tower of Time, as the OEM, will definitely earn more than Lord Harlan, the official owner!
