Arcane Lord

"Lord Xia Duo, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that several great arcanists would suddenly appear. How about changing the place?"

"Forget it, since we are already here, it would be inappropriate to leave again."

Xia Duo noticed that except for the five great arcanists who were eating and talking normally, most of the people in the tavern were immersed in their meals at the moment, and no one left early.

Xia Duo could understand this. He would feel a little uncomfortable when the big leader was around. It would definitely not be possible to leave early. Could it be that the leader was a scourge? Don’t you want to be in the same room as your boss?

Since he couldn't leave early, he could only finish his meal and leave normally. Seeing such a scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but think of some scenes of eating in the company cafeteria before traveling. He really missed it.

…

Using the magic mark on the table to convey his dinner request to the kitchen, Shado added a layer of protective spell within the soundproof barrier provided by Lord Harlan.

This is not because he is worried that the next conversation will be overheard by the Grand Arcanist, but it is just a habitual protective measure.

After doing this, Xia Duocai looked at Lord Haran and asked in a calm tone: "I wonder what kind of magic items Lord Haran wants to customize?"

Perhaps he did not expect Sha Duo to mention the customization of magic items so directly. Lord Harlan was obviously stunned for a moment. Then he looked happy, took out a stack of paper from the dimensional bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Sha Duo. Then say:

"Lord Xia Duo, please take a look at this information first!"

Xia Duo thought that Lord Harlan had prepared the design drawings in advance and didn't care. Having the design drawings made it easier for him. However, after flipping through a few pages, he stopped and looked at Lord Haran with a profound meaning. said:

"It seems that Lord Harlan has a rich background!"

What Lord Harlan gave him was indeed a design, but it was not the design of a high-quality magic item as he imagined, but a design of a war weapon, and it was made by an elf!

This kind of weapon called "Devil-Slaying Arrow" is quite familiar to Xia Duo. He has such a weapon in his personal space. However, compared to the broken arrow that Lord Harlan took out, the broken arrow in his personal space is much longer. More advanced.

This blueprint should be a key technology provided by Cormanthor in the Northland Alliance negotiations. It is nominally used to support Denzo in fighting the drow, but in fact it is used to support the countries of the Northland Alliance, especially Netheril. Open.

Although the Northland Alliance negotiations are coming to an end, they are not over yet. This key technical drawing suddenly appeared in the hands of an ordinary lord.

This really surprised Shado. The details of the Northland Alliance negotiations he got from Iolum only mentioned the existence of this technology, but did not have the specific details of these technologies.

Not to mention, this drawing is suspected to be handwritten by an elf.

There are two great arcanists from the Seven Towers in this tavern now. If they discover this blueprint, something might happen!

However, since Lord Harlan so directly took out a drawing that should not have appeared at this moment, Xia Duo speculated that the source of this drawing should be "legitimate".

I just don’t know which great arcanist is behind Lord Harlan.

On the surface, Lord Harlan is not closely related to the Seven Towers, but privately, who knows?

In addition, although the Northland Alliance negotiations were led by Seven Towers, other great arcanists must also know the relevant details, which further expands the scope of suspicion.

Seeing Lord Harlan's respectful and flattering expression, for a moment, Xia Duo actually felt that the other party was a little unfathomable.

"Is Lord Harlan planning to let me make the [Devil-Slaying Arrow] and then sell it to Danzo?"

"No, there are definitely not many magic items like the Demon-Slaying Arrow. I am going to give it to Danzo. As for why, Lord Shado, please continue to read."

besides?

Xia Duo continued to flip through it. As expected, this stack of paper was not only the design drawings of the demon-slaying arrows, but also the so-called "demon-slaying amulet", which was also provided by Cormanso.

It's just that he only knew the name before, but not the specific details. Now that he saw the design drawings, Sha Duo was once again impressed by Lord Harlan.

[Demon-Slaying Arrow] is indeed a high-quality magic item, but [Demon-Slaying Amulet] is not, which only involves the fifth layer of the magic network.

Moreover, the name actually has little to do with slaying demons. It only protects against demonic aura, but has no direct lethality.

But the talisman, like the demon-slaying arrow, is a one-time item. As the first line of battle against the drow, Danzo needs a large number of items like the demon-slaying talisman to protect against the demonic aura.

Compared with high-end products like Demon-Slaying Arrows, high-volume products like Demon-Slaying Amulets, which also have a high premium, are the biggest money-makers.

But since all the countries in the North are supporting Danzuo, the number of demon-slaying talismans produced must be not a small number, and it will be clear who to purchase first and who to purchase last.

Maybe when the time comes, we will have the right to purchase first and use the Demon-Slaying Arrow as a stepping stone!

Xia Duo didn't believe that the dwarves could be so shrewd, but with smart humans like Lord Harlan around, it would be a shame if the dwarves couldn't learn!

…

Looking at the design drawings on the table, and then at Lord Harlan who looked expectant, Sha Duo fell into deep thought. At this moment, the magic mark on the table suddenly flashed.

Xia Duo pressed it casually, then put away the design drawings and said to Lord Harlan: "I have a new idea. Let's have a meal first, and I'll think about it later."

"good."

After a while, dinner was brought to the table, the usual roast meat and vegetable pie, and of course the Fireside Sit's signature sour.

Xia Duo sipped his dinner with wine, and the originally vague idea in his mind gradually took shape.

After the meal was over, Lord Harlan paid the bill and the waiter cleared the table. Xia Duo took out the stack of design drawings and placed them between the two of them. He did not express his thoughts directly, but asked a question first:

"How many demon-slaying amulets are Lord Harlan prepared to sell to Denzo?"

Upon hearing this question, Lord Harlan couldn't help but frown. Can such a question be asked so directly? But the person who asked this question was Lord Xia Duo. If it were anyone else, he might be angry now.

"Lord Shado, regarding this issue, it is difficult for me to give an accurate number here. I can only say that I have raised all the resources that can be raised!"

When Lord Harlan said this, there was a determined light in his eyes, and it seemed that he really wanted to make a desperate move. Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. Although he didn't quite understand the reason why Lord Harlan did this, it was obviously too much. adventure.

It is really not a rational approach to bet all your wealth.
