Arcane Lord

Chapter 779: Production fee, fresh air

Determine the borrowing fee, and whether to allow copying and other issues, Xia Duo's "Principles" is finally going to enter the library of the Austrian Law Federation.

"Sir, you need to provide at least two original copies, one for inventory and one for borrowing. If there is only one, you also need to pay 200 gold coins for the production fee."

Ok?

Xia Duo suddenly thought that many libraries, including the Tower of Time and the Tower of Giles, had copies of varying degrees. He originally thought it was set up to fill the facade, but he didn't expect this layer to be there.

As long as there are more copies, the possibility of being borrowed will naturally be higher, and the income will be higher.

Since he aims to be seen by more people, Xia Duo is naturally not satisfied with only putting one or two books. In fact, he had prepared more than ten books before, but only 8 copies were sent out yesterday. I have downloaded the last 6 books.

After thinking about it, he asked: "Can I supplement the copy later? Or you can make more copies?"

"Adults, it's okay, but if we make it, you need to pay the production fee of 200 gold coins per copy." The administrator replied.

"Isn't there a discount for quantity?"

"I'm sorry, no!"

"..."

That's really black!

Xia Duo has produced more than ten books by himself, and naturally knows the cost of it. Although the book "Principle" is a book about magic, it is indeed a common item.

In other words, the biggest cost is the raw materials, ink, paper, etc., at most tens of gold coins!

If it were to transcribe texts like Chardonnay, the labor cost might exceed 200, but if you think about it, you know it's impossible.

Can a normal mage do this job?

As far as Xia Duo knew, he only obtained a "transcription technique" from the princess's teacher Byron. The principle is not the same as Xia Duo's own "Transcription Technique". It controls the pen to write, and Xia Duo controls the ink. Directly form text.

That kind of [copying technique] is extremely inefficient. It is conceivable that if a mage really uses this method to make a copy, 200 gold coins will definitely lose money.

Obviously, only ordinary people are used to transcribe, and the salary of an ordinary scribe is about 15 silver coins a day at most, that is, 1.5 gold coins per day.

Obviously, it does not take so long to copy a book.

The Austrian Law Federation has to make such a large sum of money on the copy of the book, which is really profitable!

Xia Duo certainly didn't want to make a copy on the Austrian Law Federation. He decided to let the apprentices of the Tower of Time copy the "Principle" book. Anyway, he was going to send them as a textbook. The copying book should be familiar in advance!

Thinking of this, Xia Duo immediately took out the remaining 6 books from the portable space and handed them to the administrator, "Use these first, I'll make up later!"

"No problem, my lord, I will handle it for you!"

...

The relevant details were negotiated a long time ago, and now there is a copy. Registration and storage is a matter of minutes. Soon, Xia Duo got a standard contract.

The general idea is that the fourth-level member Chateau voluntarily registered the book "Principles" in the public library of the OFA, and the borrowing fee and whether it is allowed to be copied are also reflected in the contract.

One of the more critical ones is that you can come to the Austrian Law Federation to check the number of borrowings once a year and receive the income from the borrowed books.

The above did not say what to share, which means that Xia Duo can get all the income by default, and there is no miscellaneous expenses such as management fees.

Maybe this is the treatment of level 4 members, but it's really good!

...

After completing the storage procedures and directly depositing 30,000 gold coins as the borrowing fee, Xia Duo turned his head and went into the library, preparing to scan the books.

Although the library of the Austrian Federation of Laws seems to have more books than the Giles Tower, Chateau saw copies of the books one after another, and knew that it was actually inferior to Giles Tower.

Although the Austrian Law Federation has 15 great Arcanists, and almost every existence of high-level wizards and above is a member of the Austrian Law Federation.

But this kind of loose organization is obviously not as expected by the Mage Tower run by the Great Arcanist himself.

Except for the controversial things, such as [Color-resistant Scrolls], which are not suitable for the private collection of a single or a few Great Arcanists, if there are other good things, how can they not be placed in their own mage tower!

Sure enough, after really looking at it, Xia Duo found that many of the books on the Giles Tower have already been included, and of course there must be a fish that slipped through the net.

It may be that the mage responsible for the Giles Tower looked down upon it, or it may have been omitted. In short, this trip to Chateau would be much easier than the Giles Tower.

Of course, the wallet will be much easier!

However, his speculation was soon slapped in the face after reading the public area.

The Austrian Law Federation accepts "contributions" from mages, and the public area is no more. After all, it is still open to ordinary people, but magic areas at all levels can be described as flooding.

A small book of "The Art of Fire" or "Northland Adventure Guide (Magic can be registered to cheat money, and it is at least 100 gold coins to read it once.

Xia Duo thinks about his thick "Principles" book if it is split into 10 books, it seems that it is perfectly fine, but he really can't hold back his face to do this kind of thing.

I took a copy of "The Art of Fire" and opened it. After reading it, Xia Duo felt empty, full of questions about who I am and where I am.

This book only introduces some use scenes of fireball, some can be called exquisite, some can only be said to be death.

It can't be said that it is nothing, at least for novices, it provides a lot of real cases for reference, but the content is too little, and there is no spell detail related to fireball.

This is also a loan fee of 100 gold coins!

Xia Duo realized that the Austrian Law Federation Library might be different from what he imagined~www.ltnovel.com~ There are too many books used by middle-level mages to deceive fools.

Although Niya gave him the sponsorship fee, it was not used in this way. Besides, he and Niya were originally a husband and wife, and the sponsorship fee also had his share. It was really a waste to use it on the books of those middle-level mages.

Then, Xia Duo simply skipped the middle-level mage's writings. Unless it was the book's introduction that really inspired him, he would pick it up and look at it. Fortunately, Netheril hasn't had a title party yet, otherwise. Interesting.

His main goal is still on the writings of high-level mages and above. Although intermediate-level mages can join the Austrian Law Federation, their own income is low, and there are also expensive membership fees to be borne, and they are dedicated to making money. The book can also understand.

But the high-level mage basically doesn't have to worry about income. At the same time, there is also a reputation problem. Even a bad guy is not necessarily willing to let others think he is a bad guy.

In today's more orderly environment, the overall image of high-level mages is still positive.

After reading several books of high-level mages in succession, this conjecture was also confirmed, and it really had more expectations than middle-level mages.

No longer just use a small book to fool people, and even in the travel notes, there are a lot of details about the spells, all kinds of skills, experience, and knowledge are everywhere.

This is what a normal mage writing should look like!

The only regret is that Xia Duo never saw a book of pure magic, it seems that there is always some storytelling, and most of the less storytelling is in the form of dialogue.

It does not look boring, but it also loses academic rigor and magic.

"I hope that "Principles" book can bring a new style!"
