Shado felt that Imasca might want to trade the energy-conducting materials with unknown costs as cheap materials to trade arcane crystals with him. If this was the case, the preparation methods of these materials might not be within the scope of the transaction.
After thinking about it, he asked Prince Aben: "I fully believe in the capabilities of your country's Secret Weapon Research Institute, but one hundred thousand arcane crystals is not a small amount. Does His Highness intend to use these materials to trade with me?"
"if not?"
"If that's the case, why don't I buy mithril directly in the Western Continent? I know that the materials in your country may be cheaper than the mithril in the Western Continent, but this is completely inconsistent with my original intention. What I want is to replace the mithril.
New options for silver, not just a limited batch of materials.”
"Master Athos, isn't it enough that Imasca has always opened these cheap materials to you? You must know that these materials will be the products of Imasca's craftsman system for thousands of years, even if you have mastered the power of creation and prepared them yourself
The cost is also much higher than that in our country.”
This is the cost game of "buying" and "making". Maybe Imasca can always provide cheap materials, but Shado doesn't want the source of this strategic material to be in the hands of others, even if it is just a replacement for mithril.
product.
What's more, Mythra is gradually spreading in Netheril. Sooner or later, Imaskar will understand how low the cost of arcane crystallization is.
Although the cost is not equal to the selling price, it will always have a certain impact on the interaction between the two parties.
By then, whether this alternative energy-guiding material will increase in price or refuse to be sold, it is a foreseeable reality for Xia Duo.
In fact, based on Xia Duo's estimation of this alternative energy-guiding material, the cost will most likely not be lower than mithril, and even if it is lower, it won't be much lower.
It is conceivable that in this kind of transaction, the more you sell, the more you will lose money.
Maybe Imasca just had to do this in order to obtain arcane crystals. After all, Shado's demand for Imasca is limited. Either the core interests cannot be sold, or it is too cheap to collect so many arcane crystals.
The price that can crystallize.
Therefore, Xia Duo simply remained silent. He was definitely not willing to exchange just a batch of materials. Although energy-conducting materials such as mithril were strategic materials in the arcane magic system, they were only of importance.
The scarcity is far from reaching the level of strategy. Sha Duo was sold not long ago, and the auction of Mythra just yielded a large sum of mithril. No matter how much material I have on Imasca, it is just the icing on the cake and is dispensable.
.
Only the preparation method of the materials is worthy of his thinking.
As one of the leading parties in the negotiation, Xia Duo's silence obviously meant that the negotiations were deadlocked. Xia Duo's attitude towards the new materials was not so urgent, so his attitude was particularly calm.
Prince Aben saw this and was anxious in his heart. After a long time, Prince Aben finally couldn't help but speak first: "I don't know how much Master Athos knows about the power of creation. Imasca relies on thousands of
Years of accumulation can bring down the cost of various materials. Even if I leave the preparation method to you, what is the point of the high cost to you?"
Speaking of the power of creation, Shado also thought that he had not truly mastered the power of creation yet! As Prince Aben said, even if Imasca gave him the preparation method, he would not be able to realize it.
At the same time, he was even more convinced that the power of creation had definitely been traded on the spot by Imasca. Thinking that he still needed to obtain the secret weapon combination to sense the power of creation from the other party, Sha Duo's attitude softened a lot.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is right, but His Highness Meng gave him a creation magic book as a gift last time. I studied it carefully in the past two days and developed a strong interest in creation magic. I can get these not for the cost but for the accumulation.
The preparation method of energy-conducting materials, I hope that His Highness will help you become an apprentice who yearns for the magic of creation."
Chateau's words not only expressed his bottom line, but also gave Imaska enough face. Although there was an element of performance, they were also his truest thoughts.
He is indeed very interested in creation magic. Especially after seeing these two new materials today, he feels more and more that creation magic can complement arcane magic, or that it can make up for the shortcomings of arcane magic.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo decided to take the initiative to put forward his request. After all, this is the point where the other party can control him. Both parties know it well, and it doesn't matter who comes first. The other party can use the power of creation to control him. He
Agree that you can use arcane crystals to manipulate each other.
Only by compromising with each other can we reach an agreement. If we just want to take advantage of everything, then the final outcome may be the only way to go alone.
So he continued:
"Yesterday I studied the Creation Magic Book and tried a variety of secret weapon synchronizations, but I still couldn't sense the existence of the power of creation. I wonder if Imasca has any experience in this area that can teach me?"
Sha Duo did not directly talk about the secret weapon combination, but only said that he wanted to seek guidance. After all, the secret weapon combination was just a guess on his part. It was a more feasible solution, but what Imasca had was not necessarily like this.
plan.
If we talk about the secret weapon combination directly, it might also give Imaska some inspiration for a new enlightenment plan, which can be quickly transformed into practical results for them who already have a deep accumulation in the creation magic system.
In other words, Xia Duo probably gave the other party a trading chip for free in one sentence, but he refused to take it, so he directly asked for advice.
Prince Aben did not appear surprised by this, but looked at each other with Busta, another craftsman, as if they had reached an agreement, and then replied to Shado:
"Mage Athos, to be honest with you, Imasca does have a method to assist in perceiving the power of creation, and we are willing to provide support to anyone who is interested in practicing creation."
Hearing what Prince Aben said, it seemed that no conditions were required. Xia Duo was suddenly overjoyed and said, "That's great. What's the method?"
"The method is not difficult. Ever since the split, the great master of craftsmen, His Majesty Omanode, has come up with a way to protect the inheritance. Since we want to protect the inheritance, of course there is also a plan to assist in sensing the power of creation.
"
"Can I use it too?"
Shado had already thought of the method. On the way here, he heard Percher mention that the contemporary Emperor Imaska created a secret weapon to preserve the inheritance, and for this reason he also took the initiative to provoke a lot of disputes.
But the question is, can this important inheritance of a country really be used by an outsider? Especially when Imasca has a long history of xenophobia.
But Prince Aben’s answer is yes, but he needs to pay a certain price——
"Of course. We welcome anyone to join in the great practice of creation. However, using the inherited secret weapon costs a lot of money. The cost must be borne by Master Athos himself."
