Section 32 Bargaining
Because the old mage went out to find someone to train monsters according to Lao Xie's instructions, and he didn't know at all, so when he came back, it was already a few hours later. As a result, when the old mage came to stop the bandits, nearly one-third of the huge warehouse had been moved out. You know, the supplies here were enough for ten thousand people to use for a month! You can imagine how many of them were, thanks to the extremely powerful Cyclops, if they rely on the monsters alone, they wouldn't be able to move so many of them.
The old mage was naturally furious about Lao Xie's despicable behavior of taking action without warning. He asked Lao Xie loudly: "What are you doing?"
"Move things!" Lao Xie said with a righteous insincere.
"Move things?" the old mage shouted in anger: "What power do you have to move my things?"
"Didn't you say it? You are responsible for my brothers' supplies? I have paid 50 smart monsters for this." Lao Xie said with a cold face: "Are you talking like farting?"
"You~" the old mage was so angry that he was not angry when he heard this, and immediately said angrily: "I only said that I was responsible for their food and drink, but I didn't say anything else, right?"
"No!" Lao Xie immediately shook his head and said, "I think the value created by my monsters is far more than just a little food and drink. Obviously, it should also include some of their daily tools. Do you think so?"
"Damn!" the old master said furiously: "I can give you daily utensils, but what the hell are you taking?"
As the old mage said, he picked up the list that Lilith had cracked for him, and first said, "Exquisite hand crossbow, 200 pairs! Is this a 'daily' product? Do you know how much such a hand crossbow is worth?"
"Why isn't it a daily necessity?" Lao Xie immediately argued: "Are there no dangerous monsters in the woods around the base? What if they suddenly jump out of the woods, is it wrong for my monster to protect themselves with a crossbow?"
"You~" the old mage was speechless by Lao Xie, so he had to say, "Well, even if you make sense, but what about next? 200 steel golems, Damn, are you cruel enough? This thing costs more than one hundred gold coins alone! That is the combat puppet I use to defend against the magic tower!"
"So what? You're still here for nothing. This bullshit magic tower is powerful enough. If you don't have much more, they are not much, so why should you care?" Lao Xie persuaded with great sincerity.
"Damn, this is a waste to me, so I won't waste it for you? What's the use of you taking them?" the old mage asked angrily.
"Of course I'm useful!" Lao Xie then smiled and said, "I mean, let every monster have a steel golem to protect it. Anyway, the spirit of monsters is almost the same as that of ordinary people, so their safety can be fully protected. Think about it, the monsters in the forest are not rookies. Can the crossbows in the hands of monsters be completely dealt with? If there is a steel golem blocking them, they can have more chances of survival. Do you dare to say that they will not be able to use the monsters in my hands in the future?"
"This~" the old mage was depressed. However, if he wanted to do a large-scale experiment, he would definitely need a lot of people. At that time, he might have to borrow troops from Lao Xie. If he was too stingy now, it would be unreasonable. Moreover, since he knew the benefits of monsters, the old mage also liked these little guys very much, so he naturally couldn't bear to see them in danger.
In desperation, he finally had to compromise and said, "Forget it, I'll give you the steel golem!"
"Haha!" Lao Xie immediately said proudly: "That's all!" He was about to leave.
"Wait!" the old mage then called him and continued to ask: "Even if the hand crossbow and steel golem are useful, what are you doing with these, iron scheduling equipment, high-quality steel ingots, and large amounts of alchemy materials? Do you want to open a blacksmith shop?"
"Hey, how did you know I want to open a blacksmith shop?" Lao Xie said in surprise immediately.
"Damn!" The old mage was almost angry and couldn't help but curse: "You are a mage or a nobleman. You can run a blacksmith shop without any worries? Even if you are not afraid of embarrassment, you have to think about the reputation of the Stephen family? If you know that the heir of the dignified Stephen family is a blacksmith, please put my old face there!"
"Who said I want to be a blacksmith?" Lao Xie gave the old master a blank look and said, "I'm full, why are you trying to get iron?"
"Then who are you going to be a blacksmith shop?" The old mage stared at him and said, "Is it a monster? Stop kidding, they are not as heavy as a hammer!"
"Idiot, monsters are not good, can they not be able to be cyclops?" Lao Xie curled his lips.
"Cyclops? If they are terrifying power, they are indeed good materials for ironwork." The old mage's eyes lit up, then shook his head and asked: "But is this possible? They are arrogant warriors! They have a very bad temper. It's okay to let them fight, but if they let them hit ironwork, it's hard to say!"
"No problem!" Lao Xie smiled and said, "I told them that irons were to make armor for themselves, and I would also let monsters draw magic circles on their armor to turn them into magic armor. I don't believe that they will still withstand this temptation!"
"Haha, it's so treacherous! Cyclops creates a magic array, and then I will carry out the final energy rush. Haha, this can completely mass-produce magic armor!" The old mage suddenly forgot about the material matter and laughed loudly, as if he had seen a large number of magic armor made by Cyclops come out.
You should know that the most important thing about ironwork is technology, followed by strength. The more powerful the gravitational force, the easier it is to forge out the impurities in steel. Although the technology of the Cyclops is not good, as long as the masters of the old mage family are guided by them, I believe that this defect will be compensated soon. At that time, with the terrifying power of the giant, you will definitely be able to create excellent armor and weapons, and maybe you can catch up with the dwarf's products.
"Hehe, as long as you know!" Lao Xie smiled and said, "If you still don't agree, then I have to find someone else to cooperate!" As he said that, Lao Xie made a move and wanted to leave.
"No!" The old master hurriedly grabbed Lao Xie and said, "Isn't it okay if I agree? I can provide everything you want, but we agreed that I will need 80% of the final product! Because I made the materials!"
"No talk!" Lao Xie sneered directly: "The materials are all over the floor, can I still buy them? But only my family has the technology, so I should account for the big one, you can get up to 40%!"
"No, you are too stingy, are you?" The old mage said suddenly: "At most I will let you 40% of them, the materials are very expensive!"
"The materials are expensive, but the finished products are even more expensive, so I have no discussion on this matter!" Lao Xie said lightly: "At a bargain price, 50 cents, do it if you don't, and throw it away if you don't!"
