Arcane Lord

　　 "Taling, send her here!" Chateau ordered casually.

　　 At the same time the order was issued, Cecily, who was on the elevator, received Taring's prompt: "Director Cecily, Chateau on behalf of you wants to send you to the tower master study, do you agree?"

　　 Cecily took a deep breath. Her destination was the tower master’s study. She was notified by Uncle Ebbock that she came over when she knew that Xia Duo was in Niya’s study.

　　 "Agree!"

　　 In the next instant, a white light flashed, and Cecily disappeared in the elevator, and the elevator that was empty also disintegrated instantly and disappeared.

　　 Niya study room.

　　 After Xia Duo gave the order, Ta Ling did not respond. He knew that Ta Ling could do it. As expected, the next moment, a white light appeared out of thin air.

　　 Cecily appeared in front of him!

　　 Xia Duo curiously looked at this girl who was about the same age as Niya, her appearance was only normal, and there were even a few small freckles hanging playfully on her face.

　　 But she has a generous manner and a calm face. Just standing there gives people a sense of calm and credibility.

　　 As the only female mage besides Niya in the Tower of Time, Cecily is also quite famous in the Tower of Time.

　　 It's just that she is the same as Niya. Before Niya's identity was officially disclosed, both of them were academics of Lord Epps and rarely showed up. They were in a state of "only hearing her name and not seeing her" all year round.

　　 Until not long ago, after Niya inherited the Tower of Time, she immediately replaced the material supervisor from Ebbock to her. Everyone really knew this supervisor who had only a second level of spell casting.

　　 While Chateau was observing Cecily, Cecily was also observing Xia Duo. As Nia's closest butler, she had secretly observed Nia's two apprentices a long time ago.

　　 This is not the first time she has seen Xia Duo, and even at the Midsummer Festival not long ago, she had just met Xia Duo. Seeing him again today, Cecily was a little bit more surprised.

　　 After these days, Xia Duo's appearance has not changed much, but his temperament is more lofty, and there is a touch of majesty. Could the change of identity really bring such a big change?

　　 Cecily looked and thought calmly, and at the same time there was no lack of etiquette, "I have seen Mr. Xia Duo!"

　　 "Director Cecily, what are you looking for? Is there any problem with the material department?" Xia Duo asked.

　　 "Yes, although the Materials Department received some of the materials supplemented by Mr. Ebbock, there will still be a big gap in the relevant materials in the long run."

　　 Xia Duo knows what she means by long, now the Tower of Time is in charge of him, and he will solve the problem too!

　　 "How much material is still missing?"

Cecily had been prepared for a long time, and immediately reported them one by one, "According to the restoration plan, except for those that can be resolved by following the plan in the future, there is a shortage of 500 pounds of Mithril, 300 pounds of topaz, 100 pounds of olivine, and white and blue. 50 pounds for each of the five pure color crystals of yellow, red and purple, and 20 pounds for each of the five pure colors of blue, yellow, red and purple—"

"Etc., etc!"

　　 Hearing the series of numbers, Xia Duo couldn't help taking a breath, and quickly interrupted Cecily. Aside from the variety of gems, Mithril alone costs 500 pounds.

　　 The market transaction price of Mithril is not high. One pound is about a few hundred gold coins, but there are two more words, one is called "seller's market" and the other is called "strategic reserve"!

　　 Whether Saville has a Mithril Mine or not, Xia Duo doesn't know for the time being, but there is a high probability that it will not. Even if it does, it is not easy to suddenly change 500 pounds of Mithril.

　　 Similarly, the market is relatively stable, and it is not easy to suddenly get 500 pounds of Mithril.

　　 "How did you get these materials in the past?"

"The gems are traded through the output of the Tower of Time by the Territory Chamber of Commerce. Among them, gold coins can be purchased with high output. Only mithril can be refined by dwarves. If there is a mithril mine in the empire, even if it is mined, It can only be sold to dwarves. Any attempt to refine it on their own will fail in the end, and the mithril output of the dwarves has a quota every year! The amount allocated to the Tower of Time is only a little over 100 pounds per year."

　　 Speaking of this, Cecily's mood is a little down. 500 pounds of Mithril seems to be inexpensive, but in fact it is the most troublesome to obtain.

　　 Mithril quotas are allocated according to the Arcane Federation according to each mage tower and the number of mage towers, and if it is allocated to you, it does not mean giving it in vain, it also requires money.

　　 It doesn't matter if it is gold coins, or equivalent gems or magic items.

　　 When he heard that the dwarf was still playing with the export quota, Xia Duo couldn't help but his eyes widened. He thought of the dwarf Broto he knew.

　　 The image of a stubborn and cheerful dwarf with thick eyebrows and big eyes in his mind suddenly became shrewd and cunning.

　　 "What about the elves? Why not buy Mithril from the elves?" Chateau asked again.

　　 He spent more than a year in the elven city of the projection plane. He knew that mithril was widely used in the elven society, but he had never heard that mithril was bought from dwarves.

　　 Elves should have the technology to refine Mithril.

　　 However, after listening to Chateau’s words, Cecily smiled suddenly, "My lord, you shouldn't have been to Conifer City?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"My lord, the elves don't directly sell Mithril to us. They will only create an image of Mithril at will, and then put the price of Mithril several times or even dozens of times as an artwork in the store~www.wuxiahere.com ~Attract human merchants to buy."

　　 "……"

　　 Xia Duo understands that the emotional Netheril has become a country of raw material production and export. The dwarf country may be better, but the elves are just cutting the leeks.

　　 But knowing this is not very helpful to his current situation, even if he knows more, it is impossible to conjure Mithril out of thin air.

　　 And there are also those gems, which need food, gold coins, and even magic items to trade for the Tower of Time.

　　 First of all, the repair work cannot be stopped, this is the foundation of the body.

　　 So now throttling is no longer enough, it must be open source!

　　 Otherwise, once the Tower of Time and Saville are financially bankrupt, let alone repair work, it is a question of whether this Mage Tower can be kept.

　　 The current Chateau does not know the damage to the Tower of Time for the time being, but some of the magic circles in the low-loop state of the downgrading program have problems, and it does not affect the normal use of the current high-loop state.

　　 Even the energy acquisition is normal, but in the chaotic area of ​​the magic net, it is less than usual, and the consumption is a bit more.

　　 Niya walked in a hurry and only explained some important things. Although the restoration work is important, it is not urgently needed. If it can be carried out, it does not matter if it cannot be suspended for a period of time.

　　 On the contrary, it is more important to maintain low energy consumption to increase energy reserves.

　　If Niya is there, it is not difficult to make a choice, but if he changes to Xia Duo, he has already begun to rack his brains to open source and earn coins.

　　 I have to say that because the two people have different perceptions of the current state of the Tower of Time, they have a big oolong.
