Faced with the active conversation from Master Ace of Giles Tower, Sha Duo behaved very calmly. Except for asking about the identity of the other party at the beginning, he rarely spoke after that. He just motioned to the bartender Baker to continue the introduction.
In this introduction, Baker did not try to sell simplified communication spells, but told an interesting story, which was also related to the new magic network background communication spell——
"Just a few days ago, someone took some communication magic tools and sold them outside the teleportation room of the Arcane Law Federation. As a result, they happened to bump into the manufacturer himself. It is said that the archmage felt that his works were being sold on the road like this, which was very disturbing.
I was so annoyed that I immediately canceled my cooperation with that person."
"Has the communication device corresponding to the Magic Network Background Communication spell appeared?" Sha Duo said suddenly.
Perhaps it was because of another occupational disease that Baker immediately took over and started selling again: "Guest, you have asked the right person. Currently, the chamber of commerce under the Seven Towers has begun to sell communication magic tools, and I also have a simplified version for sale here.
"
After finishing speaking, Baker realized his mistake, his face turned pale, and he glanced at Ace opposite him. Seeing that Ace just glared at him without saying anything, he continued, "Guest, you need to see the goods."
?"
"It's okay to take a look!" Xia Duo did not refuse.
In fact, the August monthly magazine of the Arcane Law Federation recorded several simple communication magic weapon solutions, and it also came with the supporting spell [Twin Mark] specially developed by Shado to add friends to the communication magic weapon.
Soon, Baker took out a locked box from the backstage and opened it in front of Sha Duo. There were seven or eight magic items neatly placed inside.
The appearance details vary, but they can generally be divided into crystal ball form and talisman form.
Baker carefully took out two representative communication instruments, placed them on the bar, gently pushed them towards the other side, and introduced at the same time:
"There is almost no limit to the communication distance of these two communication instruments. No matter how far apart they are, they can be contacted normally. However, the portability of the two types will be different due to different forms. Of course, the prices will also be different. On the left
This one is 1,500 gold coins, and the one on the right is 3,000! If the customer really wants to sell, within my authority, I can give the customer the best discount!"
1500 in crystal ball form and 3000 in talisman form?
Xia Duo looked at the two different forms of communication instruments on the bar, and was silent, with only one thought in his mind - to get rich!
The communication magic weapon that Tilak Research Laboratory can produce currently only has one form, which is the more common crystal ball form, but the total cost of all kinds of weapons is less than 300 gold coins.
This is only the current cost. As technology improves and more and more labor costs for mages are reduced under the new system, the cost will definitely continue to be reduced.
The profit margin is also too great!
Judging from Master Nese's usual style, Xia Duo speculated that the cost of the two communication instruments on the bar was only about half of the selling price.
Of course, the manufacturer's labor also accounts for about half of the cost, and it may even be higher.
But even so, Tilak Lab's products still have considerable advantages!
Seriously calculating, the material cost reduction brought by the [Eternal Magic] technology may not be as good as the labor cost reduction brought by the decomposition process and gradient wages.
The true power of [Eternal Magic] technology will only be revealed when price wars begin in the future, and it is not obvious yet.
"Can you show me another one in the form of a crystal ball?"
"no problem!"
Baker responded, immediately turned around and took out a crystal ball from the box that had not yet been closed, and placed it in front of Sha Duo, "Guest, you can look at it as you like!"
Having said this, Xia Duo was naturally not polite and took one directly. Then he cast [Identification Technique] on it, and a faint white light surged out, covering the entire crystal ball.
In this magic field similar to a "sandbox simulation space", Sha Duo clearly saw the internal operating status of this communication device.
Contrary to his expectations, this communication device did not take any encryption measures and was completely naked. In other words, anyone who bought this communication device would be given this simplified version of the communication device as a gift.
Spells.
After that, Xia Duo checked two in a row, including a communication instrument in the form of a talisman. None of these three took any encryption measures.
Moreover, he also saw that these three communication instruments were not made by the same person. Although they had the same functions, they all had obviously different styles in the wiring details of the mithril components.
If they were produced by the same person, then Chateau would be even happier. This shows that even if one person produces, the producer does not realize the role of standardization.
He probably just did it casually and then gave it to the Mage Tower to sell on his behalf.
"Guest, which one do you want? Buy it now and you will get an extra practical spell as a gift!"
"Is it [Twin Marks]?"
"Guest, how do you know!"
Baker suddenly realized why an arcanist would need to buy a communication weapon from him. Maybe one of his communication tools was made by the other party!
For a moment, Baker was at a loss. At this moment, Xia Duo turned the two communication instruments towards him: "I want these two!"
"ah--"
Baker was overjoyed and quickly took out a booklet from under the counter and put it in front of Sha Duo, "Guest, this is the extra spell."
Regardless of whether the guests need it or not, gifts are still essential, not to mention that they are part of the mission!
Xia Duo casually opened the booklet, and after seeing the content inside, he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. It was not the familiar spells, but the way of describing magic through language, which reminded him of the days when he first learned spells.
Although Nese mages have already developed a relatively standard description language for recording spell details, it is still not as concise and intuitive as arcane geometric figures.
Since Sha Duo started learning arcane geometry, he rarely used the Chinese description method. He even never thought about the question "What is the verbal description of [Twin Marks]?"
When creating this spell, he recorded it through arcane geometric figures.
However, in the eyes of others, Xia Duo's silence may be a sign of hesitation. Ace on the side immediately found an opportunity, "Sir Xia Duo, Baker's sales task was received from me. If you really want to buy it, I will
There are two more half-price licenses!”
"Thank you so much Master Ace!"
Sha Duo naturally had no reason not to accept the benefits that were brought to his door. Benefits of this level could not leave any trace in his heart. He only bought these two communication instruments to study and serve as a reference for Tilak and the others.
It doesn't matter if you don't buy it here, it's the same if you buy it elsewhere. As an arcanist, you can always get a discount, and he is very aware of the cost issues involved. If you buy it for half the price, the other party will not lose money, it will just make less money.
What's more, Ace is not a manufacturer, he is at most a superior agent. He himself will definitely not be at a loss, but it is Beck who is really uncomfortable!
Sure enough, as soon as Ace finished speaking, Baker's face drooped, and he forced a smile as quickly as possible, but everyone could see that he was in a bad mood at the moment.
