In Salin's palace, the main hall does not have the grandeur of Yunliu Ren. Instead, it imitates Qin Yin's palace, where everyone has a seat and there are no steps to set up levels. WwW. QuanBeN-XiaoShuo. The cOm envoys were arranged to live in the palace outside. They were tired all the way. Salin, who was supposed to rest first, had to meet Balder first. The envoys were arranged to live in the palace against the rules, so they went to the palace first. A banquet was held.
Salin sat at the head of the huge oval table, with his people on the left and the envoys on the right. Balder did not sit next to Salin. There were two magicians next to Salin. Stephanie was seen through by Nicholas and didn't care much, but didn't speak. Salin was also a little confused. Holy Rock City sent two eighth-level magicians. What did it mean? If Nicholas wasn't around, wouldn't these two magicians be able to attack him
He wouldn't have thought so originally. The problem was that Stephanie was pretending to be a mage Baige and Zola didn't see through it all the way. It was Nicholas who reminded her that he used his elemental eyes to observe and discovered the problem.
So there was a scene like this. Saleen was indifferent to Balder, but the nobles on his left were very excited and looked at Balder eagerly, hoping to hear news that would be beneficial to the kingdom from his mouth. Holy Rock City sent him here, so he wasn't just a tourist, right
Balder didn't know what to say. Originally, according to the rules, he should first stay in a place like a post house. The two parties would arrange a time, hold a grand ceremony, and then submit credentials to the envoys and Metat. After some exchanges with Lin's nobles, he told Salin about the mission entrusted to him by His Majesty the Emperor and Prince Sephiroth. Salin, on the other hand, looked like he couldn't wait and brought him directly to the palace.
Fortunately, Salin was also prepared. There were not many other people in Metatrin City, and the nobles brought the most servants. Salin wanted to bring a dozen good cooks, and he had already prepared a banquet.
After a round of tea, dishes were served one after another. In order to take care of the people in the envoy group, Salin did not use the undead to do this job like he did in the temple.
The people who served the dishes were servants borrowed from the nobles. Salin was not married, so there was no palace maid. All the people coming and going are strong men.
The wine glass was raised, Salin began to toast in an aristocratic tone, and Balder finally relaxed. Although Salin's way of speaking was an ancient Fourth Dynasty habit, it was to his liking.
After three drinks, Salin arranged for a few low-level mages to mix drinks for everyone. This was the style of Kushui County. Mixing wine with restorative water can make the wine lighter without harming the body.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and Salin asked: "Duke, your Majesty asked you to come here. Is there anything special you have to say?"
He did not mention the letter of credence. The content of the letter of credence is nothing more than that both sides set up fixed envoys for each other, and they are stationed in each other's capital for a long time to facilitate mutual communication. This embassy is going to set up a teleportation array. The teleportation array can directly communicate letters at any time, and cannot transmit living people like the large teleportation array.
The letter of credence must also talk about borders, and issues such as permission for military entry. These are not what Salin cares about. What he cares about is the personal attitude of Qin Yin's emperor. Anyway, he knew what was going on between Sephiroth and Rex, and Holy Rock City would be relatively wary of Metatrin City.
It is impossible for his regular army to enter Phoenix. At most, it will be on the border of Phoenix and Jin, and on the passage passed by the Holy See Expeditionary Force, giving itself a way out to Garulan.
"Your Majesty, he r-r-" Balder sorted out his thoughts and said = "Your Majesty hopes) to open up the trade route between here and Holy Rock City. The most important thing is that your Majesty hopes that during the war, Metatlin It can provide magic core for Holy Rock City."
Balder did not say anything about Prince Sephiroth's request. Tiffany was the emperor's employee, and some things were best said behind her back. The emperor secretly sent an extra magician, maybe it was not for himself. If he did too many things for the prince and delayed the emperor's affairs, the two magicians would definitely massacre him and everyone around him.
You know, there were only 1,400 soldiers at his disposal, and that was what the emperor had promised. The remaining 1,600 people wanted to listen to Tiffany.
Stephanie's name frightened him a little. This woman was said to be a magician trusted by Emperor Chanak and did not belong to the Royal Magician Garden. A completely private mage, if she does something, the palace will not admit it, nor will it bear any responsibility. When Stephanie runs to Alchemy City, she will be wiped out in vain. "How much does it cost, Your Majesty?" "One hundred thousand level four magic cores." What's the price? “One hundred gold coins.
"This..." Salin deliberately pondered. Equipment stores on the market have price lists, and the price of a first-level magic core fluctuates greatly. The cheapest is one gold coin, and the most expensive is only five gold coins. The second-level magic core can be sold for ten gold coins, and the particularly pure one can be sold for twenty gold coins. A level three magic core can be sold for one hundred gold coins.
The most expensive fourth-level magic core can be sold for one thousand gold coins, but it usually does not exceed four hundred gold coins. This refers to the price before cutting. After cutting, the price of the fourth-level magic core is two hundred gold coins. A skilled magician can cut a level four magic core into more than three standard units. If the magic core is not cut, it cannot be embedded into the magic circle.
Uncut magic cores are priced according to size. After cutting, the sizes are the same. "Excluding the manual fees and losses, almost half of a two hundred gold coin is due to the manual cutting.
One hundred gold coins, this must be the price after cutting, because the size of the fourth-level magic core can cut out at least three standard units. No matter how arrogant Emperor Qin Yin was, he would never buy or sell by force.
The nobles also became nervous. This was the shipping price Salin gave them. If Salin agreed, they would make nothing. The cutting difficulty of the fourth-level magic core is dozens of times greater than that of the low-level magic core, and manual work is very expensive. If Saleen doesn't help them, they will earn even less. So whether Salin agrees or not, they can't change Salin's mind. Otherwise, no matter whether Salin cuts it in the future, when they sell it, the profit will be reduced by at least 30%.
"This price is not good. I have sold this year's magic cores to the dukes and earls here. I only have 40,000 magic cores left on hand."
Everyone suddenly felt excited. Salin did not hand over the magic core to them. There was only a verbal agreement between them and Salin. It would make sense if their interests were sacrificed in order to interact with Holy Rock City. Besides, the benefits to them from communicating with Holy Rock City are not small, and these nobles do not want to stand in the way. That's why I feel so conflicted.
What else did Balder want to say? Salin said: "The price on the market is two hundred gold coins. "This is not a low-level magic core. It requires a mage to cut it. Even an apprentice may not be able to do it. In this case, I ask for a 15% increase. One hundred and fifteen gold coins. If you are willing, I will use my own money to subsidize my nobles and let them sell it to you at this price."
Balder was heartbroken, and Ojarvis told him before leaving that he must buy the magic core. In terms of price, a 20% increase is allowed. In other words, the emperor was actually willing to purchase it for one hundred and twenty gold coins. But as long as the price exceeds one hundred and ten gold coins, he won't make any profit.
But Salin made it clear that he had already sold the magic core. If he didn't agree with the price, he should negotiate with the nobles separately.
If this were the case, it would mean that he had offended all Metatlin nobles, and the matter that the prince had explained would be hopeless.
The nobles felt relieved. Although the price of one hundred and fifteen gold coins was still very low, they did not need to occupy any! $ gold, just sit on the ground and collect money, you can earn fifteen gold coins for one magic core!
Saleen's final distribution was 20,000 magic cores for each of the four dukes, 5,000 for each of the twelve earls, and the remaining 20,000 magic cores were distributed to other nobles. It would be good if each of those people could get a few hundred. "The four of you, each give 10,000 magic cores, and you, each give 5,000. How about that?" Salin negotiated terms with his nobles regardless of whether Balder agreed or not.
Gu Ya and the others were from four major families. They were all rich but not powerful, and could not compare with other nobles. The four of them are not afraid of occupying funds, but the twelve earls are more accepting of this method. They can sell 5,000 magic cores and earn 50,000 gold coins directly without having to move a thing. Salin said he would subsidize them, but they didn't dare to ask for it.
Even if Aini and others don't want to, it's hard to refuse. Anyway, there are still 100,000 magic cores to sell, so on average, you still make a lot of money.
"Your Highness Salin, Your Majesty also asked me to bring you some gifts." Balder did not bother about the magic core. He saw that Salin did not bow to the two magicians, so he knew that this man could not be convinced. , naturally there are other concerns in mind.
"Oh, Your Majesty is very polite. I wonder what kind of gift it is?" Salin looked curious. The matter of the magic core is about to be finalized. At this price, he can sell it to the emperor privately. The emperor will definitely not Credit is good business.
Balder was also thinking that His Majesty would buy as much as possible, and he proposed 100,000 pieces. Salin agreed immediately, so there must be some left in stock. If you and Salin want some, at this price, it will be a good income after you go back. This time I brought more than 20,000 gold coins with me and bought all the magic cores. When I go back, I can earn more than 100,000 gold coins. "I don't carry this with me, Master Tiffany, please..." Balder said to Tiffany very politely.
Tiffany smiled, stood up, walked to the open space of the hall, and released a huge guy from the space equipment. This is an alchemy machine more than ten meters long, all golden in color, like a huge weaving shuttle. The curvature of the mechanical surface is extremely perfect, and dark silver magic runes are regularly arranged on each independent structure.
"This is a submarine battleship, newly developed by Holy Rock City. Even Cloud City does not have the equipment. Your Majesty knows that your city is near the sea and coastal defense is very important, so let me bring this to you." Balder said proudly, Sa Lin was dumbfounded.
Submersible battleship? This one is obviously a hundred times more powerful than what Rex had hastily refined in the first place, but he already has the Pan Turtle to refine it, so what does he need this submarine battleship for? F! ~!
