Chapter 922: Semi-Divine Weapon, Tree Planting Mage’s Shovel!
” After the Fairy Veil is completed, the entire Rolling Stone Town will randomly produce a fog of war that blocks perception. This will greatly increase the difficulty of spies infiltrating and the cost of obtaining information.
” And in the core area, I will add a secluded valley to the foundation of the fairy veil. The so-called secluded valley is a powerful ritual field that will silently devour any sight that seeps in.
“Within the secluded valley.
“Neither the gods nor the other mages could spy on the situation inside through surveillance spells or prophecy spells.
“At the same time.
“You are the guardian and host of the Fairy Veil.
“You can monitor the area covered by the fog of war through the two beasts.
“As for the effect of the secluded valley.
“You can also choose to remove it at any time.
“Because this is already a very mature business plan, you don’t have to worry about encountering inhumane situations when you use it…”
Lele talked non-stop about the Fairy Veil Project.
To make it easier for Matthew to understand.
He even took out a map of Rolling Stone Town and drew on it.
At first, Matthew could understand a little.
But later on.
When the other party began to speak a large number of words exclusive to the curse field.
Matthew could only smile and nod.
In the end, it was normal for a necromancer like him to not understand these things.
“So, how much does the fairy veil cost?
“I mean the cost of the materials.”
Matthew asked.
Lele began to calculate on the paper again.
” According to the territory of Rolling Stone Town depicted on this map, as well as the definition of the core area, around 600,000 is already the limit. If we continue to cut costs, the array might malfunction. That would not be worth it.”
600,000.
And it was only the cost of the materials.
Matthew’s heart ached.
However, he knew that he really couldn’t save on this stuff.
Forget about him.
The two ritual arenas and the Star Weaving Robe could more or less block the sight of the creatures outside.
However, the entire Rolling Stone Town was now completely exposed to countless potential enemies.
In this turbulent era.
It was a very insecure thing.
” That’s all for the materials. Are there any other fees?”
Matthew asked.
“There are also patent license fees and labour fees.”
Lele introduced skillfully,
” The Fairy Veil is a part of Isabelle’s Spell Library. If it’s used for commercial purposes, a large amount of license fees will be required. However, this is for personal use, so you only need to pay a symbolic fee of 2,000 gold coins. Of course, with your identity and title, you can communicate with the person in charge of the Spell Library. Perhaps you can even reduce the fee.
” The rest is the labour cost. In the process of setting up the fairy veil, I need to hire four apprentices and four assistants, as well as a construction team of twenty mortals. The entire construction process will last five to eight days.
“The daily cost was around 100 gold coins.
“Therefore, the cost of this part is about 500 to 800 gold.”
Matthew heaved a sigh of relief.
The labour cost was cheaper than he had imagined.
But he quickly reacted.
“And you?”
The array master smiled.
” My labour cost is 100,000. For Margaret’s sake, I can give you a 5% discount.
“In other words, all the labour costs add up to about ninety-five thousand five hundred.”
After Matthew heard that, he subconsciously touched his forehead where there was no sweat.
The difference in labour costs was too big!
However, he knew very well that top array masters were very popular in the Alliance.
This class required a mage to be proficient in the field of spells, and the direction of specialization was not very related to combat, so the number of array masters was relatively small.
However, many large-scale ritual arenas had very high requirements for array mages.
This led to the fact that top-notch array masters were indeed very rich.
95,000 labor costs.
It was indeed not too expensive.
But Matthew still said,
“Can it be cheaper?”
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it.
He just hoped that it would be more cost-effective.
However, when she heard this, Lele was a little unhappy.
” I never bargain when I do business. Didn’t Margaret tell you this?
“Sigh… When I think about how Margaret is already dead, I feel that this world is ridiculous. Such a powerful Battle Mage…”
He began to ramble again.
His words were filled with regret for Margaret’s unexpected death and for not being able to confess in time.
He listened.
Matthew suddenly had an idea.
” If you can make a small concession on the cost, I can tell you a secret.”
When it came to money.
Lele’s expression quickly changed, and he said coldly,
“Is it about you and the Evil Empress?
“I’m a little interested, but only a little.
” Moreover, that’s another matter altogether. Even if you tell me some secrets, it’ll be difficult for me to make a big concession on the price. This is a matter of principle.
“But then again, did you really give birth to the Evil Empress’ child?
“I mean, by sneezing?”
Towards the end.
His eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.
Matthew looked at him with interest, but he still pretended to be disappointed.
” I’m sorry. Since it’s a matter of principle, I won’t talk about it anymore.”
Lele was a little unhappy.
However, he still replied very professionally,
“It’s like this. No matter how curious I am, I won’t lower my status. This is my livelihood. This is not negotiable. I’m sorry.”
