Arcane Universe

During this period of time, trading companies in Golden Port have almost always encountered such a thing. A human who claims to be a certain captain came to sell +5 magic equipment. It’s too big, it’s fifty or one hundred sets, and the goods are packed with space rings.

How hungry the Southern Continent is for magic equipment, this can be seen from the fact that the price of intermediate magic equipment in the Southern Continent is more than four times that of the Northern Continent.

So the business of these humans who call themselves captains is always very good, as long as the buyer confirms the quality of the goods, they will pay a high price.

After a long time, some well-connected trading company employees discovered that during this time, many trading companies had encountered such captains in Golden Port.

However, the employees of these trading companies didn’t think it was any strange, they all felt that this was just a lot of smuggling mages from the North Continent recently.

The so-called smuggling of wizards means that some wizards use advanced teleportation techniques to cooperate with space equipment to transport intermediate and above magic equipment from the northern continent and sell them to the southern continent.

The reason why the word smuggling is used is that the Northern Continent has very strict control of magic equipment above the intermediate level.

80% of the magic equipment in the Northern Continent is produced in the Owendell Empire, and 99% of the alchemists in the Owendell Empire are in the hands of the Magic Guild, so Owendell Basically all of his magic equipment is controlled by the magic guild.

For combat constructs, combat golems, magic equipment above the intermediate level, magic items… and other such military materials, the magic union has strict supervision. It is not that you can buy if you want. If you want to buy magic items, you must go to the magic union to register, and the magic union will assess whether you are eligible to buy it. How much to buy and how many replacements are needed each year are all determined by the Magic Guild. You can only buy this type of military supplies in the secret technique store if you get a certificate issued by the Magic Guild.

Even if it is a private alchemy factory, the products it produces must be strictly controlled by the magic union, and the products must be sold to designated secret technique stores or trading companies in accordance with regulations.

For the export of military materials, the Magic Union also has strict regulations and supervision methods. How many magical military materials a trading company can purchase from the secret technique market for export each year, the Magic Union has strict regulations. Above this amount, the trading company simply has no place to pick up the goods, which is one of the reasons why ocean trade mainly focuses on general goods.

As the largest exporter of magic items in the North Continent, Owendell has relatively loose regulations on the share of magic items exported to other countries in the North Continent. After all, Owendell also needs to export magic items to earn profit.

But for the export of magic items to the southern continent, the Owendell Magic Union has extremely strict control measures. The quota of primary level magic items is returned to that’s all. The supervision is not strict, but the intermediate level and above, especially Level 4, Fifth Level’s export quota for magic items is only one-fifth to one-fifth of those of the Northern Continent, and the supervision is very strict.

Only large companies with deep backgrounds can get these few quotas.

Any merchant ship of a trading company that has export quotas for a magic union must accept random inspections by the magic union. Once a trading company is found to be smuggling magic items to the southern continent, the magic union The trading company will be punished by reducing or deducting the counterparty’s quota.

Of course, everything that has huge benefits is difficult to eliminate. The strict control of the normal secret technique market by the magic union naturally leads to the existence of the secret technique black market, and the secret technique black market in Tyron City. , Is the biggest secret technique black market in the North Continent.

The secret technique of Tyronn. The black market is hidden deep in the slums of the Far East.

Under the temptation of high profits, some alchemists in the system will secretly sell their own magic items into the hands of secret technique black market merchants. These magic items are secretly sold on the black market. Driven by profits, a large part of it went to the merchant ship sailing to the South Continent.

In addition to the merchant ship, some senior mages are also involved in this kind of black market smuggling.

For advanced wizards, there is a faster way to transport magic items to the southern continent, which is to use advanced teleportation techniques to match large space items.

Advanced teleportation requires a wizard above the advanced level to control it. Ordinary professionals, even with the advanced teleportation spell item, can’t control this kind of complex spell.

Therefore, only high-level mages or some part-time high-level sorcerers of intermediate-level mages can do the smuggling by using advanced teleportation techniques.

But using high-level teleportation and large-space item smuggling, not all magic items can do it, it must be a middle-level or above magic item to have enough profit, and low-level magic items are transported at the point of the space item. You can’t make much money at all.

Buying from the black market is not the official price. In fact, the black market price is much higher than the official price set by the magic union. It is this much higher price that can attract the alchemist to sell the product. Take the risk and secretly sell to black market merchants.

On the black market of Tyronn, a +3 magic equipment is more than 1.5 times the official price, and the price of +4 magic equipment is more than 1.7 times the official price, and the price of +5 is even more. It is more than twice the official price.

Different levels of magic equipment have different profits after being shipped to the southern continent. The price of +3 magic equipment shipped to the southern continent can be nearly three times the official price of the northern continent, +4 The price can be up to three and a half times the official price of the North Continent, and the price of +5 magic equipment will be more than four and a half times the official price of the North Continent after being shipped to the South Continent.

So, for the smuggling mage, transporting intermediate or above black market magic items from the northern continent has almost doubled the profit.

This is certainly not comparable to Feng Chou, who owns a super alchemy factory, but it is also a pretty good way to get money for many senior mages with no background.

The only bad thing about this business is that the supply of goods is limited, and the supply of goods on the black market is always hungry.

For trading companies in the southern mainland, smuggling masters are naturally the more the better, and naturally no one will care about why there are so many smuggling masters recently.

Unconsciously, in half a month, Feng Chou processed more than two thousand +5 magic suits, and the funds in his hands grew to hundreds of millions of Sol, which is also 1.5 billion kronor.

Feng Chou can’t help but slap his tongue at this rate of wealth growth. If Feng Chou’s Universe Pagoda super alchemy factory is still restricted by the strict magic guild system in the northern continent and cannot be fully utilized, then In the free southern continent, this super alchemy factory showed his terrible things.

This time, Feng Chou has no worries about the funds needed for the next upgrade of Universe Pagoda.
