A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

"Spell-like ability?!"

After slowly putting down the glass statue in her hand, the woman had an expression of disbelief on her face.

At this moment, she finally understood why the finished product she integrated through transformation magic was always not as stable as the original version.

It’s not a question of spells, let alone materials…

But it lacks the means to perfectly integrate everything without affecting those sensitive materials.

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "That's right! Even if I give you a complete set of technologies, it will be difficult for you to make this kind of energy storage device according to the process. Even if you can make it, it will be because too much too advanced magic is used. Or materials, causing the cost to increase several times, and ultimately the loss outweighs the gain.”

"Damn it! So all my previous efforts and financial investment were in vain?"

The woman's tone clearly showed strong unwillingness.

As the most famous magic item seller in Calimport, the most unbearable thing for her is losing money.

Of course, this personality may also be related to the spiritual blood flowing in the body.

After all, the most famous thing about djinn is that they are often outstanding and cunning plane merchants. They can often deceive those ignorant guys into turning around and willingly take out the last copper in their pockets.

Anyone who causes them to lose money will definitely be resented for a long time.

"Then it depends on what you choose next.

In fact, the cost of this energy storage device is much lower than you imagined, but the materials required are extremely complex.

If you can provide me with materials and a workshop for free, I can produce large quantities of finished products in a short period of time.

However, in exchange, I ask for half of the proceeds from the sale of these devices, or exchange them for scrolls, books, and magic items of similar value.

At the same time, while I am stranded in Calimport, I can borrow your workshop and alchemy equipment for free.

By the way, you should have your own mage tower, right? "

Zuo Si calmly proposed a cooperation plan.

After escaping from the floating city tower, he realized how much convenience the place that had always been regarded as a prison had brought to him.

Whether it is the rich collection of books in the library, the inexhaustible materials in the warehouse, or the various rooms with special functions, as well as the monsters and slave craftsmen imprisoned in the basement cells, now you want to Obtaining it requires paying a huge amount of money.

Many things cannot even be bought with money.

So Zuo Sisi wants to use this kind of cooperation to temporarily obtain a place where magic experiments can be conducted.

Otherwise, if you mess around in a hotel room without any protection, and an accidental failure triggers an unexpected chain reaction, everyone in the hotel may be blown up to the sky.

"Of course I have my own mage tower. But you have to tell me first how low the cost of making an energy storage device is." The woman was obviously moved.

Because only through cooperation can she recover her previous losses and even make a huge profit from it.

Zuo Si picked up a pen, wrote down the names of more than thirty kinds of materials in the common language of Ferenc on the blank paper, and then handed it directly to the other party.

"Here, the cost is all here, take it and take a look."

The woman hurriedly took it, glanced at it twice, and immediately exclaimed: "How is this possible! According to the materials listed above, the cost of making an energy storage device is less than 2,000 gold coins?"

"To be exact, it's only 1,800 gold coins." Zuo Sijiao said meaningfully. "But you can sell it for a high price of more than 20,000 gold coins. Even if you can only get half of it, there is still a net profit of 9,100 gold coins. You provide the materials and I will make it. This is a business that is sure to make a profit. How about, What’s your answer?”

"My answer is of course yes! With such a win-win cooperation, no businessman can find a reason to refuse. Let's get to know each other again. My name is Aisha, a warlock and a businessman who specializes in acquiring and selling magic items. I am also the owner of Aurora Magic. The only designated member of the store in Calingport.”

The woman took the initiative to introduce herself.

In Calimport, a city filled with chaos, murder, and changes in power, giving your name is a sign of goodwill.

The other party who knows the name can often use thieves guilds everywhere to find out a series of rumors behind the name to judge whether it is trustworthy.

"My name is Soth, a traveler who has just arrived in Calimport from other places. Nice to meet you, beautiful Ms. Elsa."

Zuo Si also immediately stood up, put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly in response.

He has never been shy about showing his most humble and courteous side to those who have great power and can bring him extra benefits.

In fact, the real cost of making an energy storage device is less than 300 gold coins.

More than four-fifths of the materials on that list were prepared for corruption and personal enrichment.

The most important thing is that Zuo Si also plans to use the energy reserves of the Mage Tower to improve his various professions.

Anyway, when the time comes, it won't be up to him to decide how much magical energy it takes to make an energy storage device.

As long as the sorceress's psychological expectations are not exceeded, the possibility of being discovered is basically not too great.

Aisha obviously didn't know that Zuo Si was thinking about how to "take advantage" better and safer. Instead, she asked enthusiastically: "If you have enough materials, how many such devices can you make in a day?"

"Six!"

Zuo Si gave a relatively conservative number without thinking.

He understands the principle that things are rare and valuable, and he also knows that only a few people can afford such magical items that cost tens of thousands of gold coins.

If too much floods into the market at once, it will inevitably cause a price collapse and a series of troubles and serious consequences.

"Very good! Give me two days to purchase materials, and I will come back to you in two days."

Elsa is obviously very satisfied with the efficiency of making six energy storage devices in one day.

This means that it can take up to two days to make back the money you lost before.

Only sell one for 20,000 gold coins?

What a joke!

If there are no restrictions on such a powerful magic item that even ordinary people can use, if it does not sell for a high price of 25,000 to 30,000 gold coins, then this businessman has failed.

What's more, the purpose of Aurora Magic Store is not to seek the best, but to seek the most expensive.

Of course, she would never tell Zuo Si the real price, but planned to calculate the share based on the selling price of 20,000 gold coins each.

I have to say that to a certain extent, the sorceress and Zuo Si are really a "perfect match".

Because they are all thinking about how to take advantage of each other at the first time.

As for who has taken advantage of more, it is unknown.

Anyway, both of them got what they wanted, and it was a veritable "win-win".

After watching Elsa leave the "Happy Time" hotel, Zuo Si immediately extracted part of the energy from the mana pool and established a new mana core through [Mimicry].

At this point, in his [Occupation] column, in addition to the most basic [Planeswalker], there is also the [Creator] obtained in the floating city tower, and now there is another [Mage].

Because of the intelligence bonus of up to 19, the mage gained two first-level spell slots when he was level LV1.

As for those zero-ring spells that consume so little magic power that they are called "sleights of magic" by mages, they can be released many times a day.
