Chapter 680: Gretel wants to rent a tower spirit? Sell it to him
"Taling? Why don't you go and grab it?!"
The Baroness almost blurted out. At the last moment, she bit the tip of her tongue and barely swallowed the words. It hurt...
Don’t you know how expensive that thing from Taling is?!
The two core and most valuable parts of a mage tower are the energy pool and the tower spirit!
A basic version of the mage tower starts with 50,000 contribution points, of which the tower spirit accounts for 20,000! According to the floating exchange rate of contribution points and gold coins, it is about 80,000 gold coins. This is it. Whoever wants to buy it can get it right away.
purchase!
However, during such a pause, he saw Gretel lowering his head slightly and arranging a row of wafers on the table. It was a square shape, half the size of a palm, cut thinly and flatly, with a faint gleam of light flowing on it.
You can tell at a glance that it must be produced by the alchemy workshop, and it can never be made anywhere else.
Gretel picked up a piece, and sent out the magic power slightly, and a light and shadow immediately appeared on the chip. Gretel pointed to the light and shadow, with a solemn face:
"This is the intrauterine ultrasound image of a pregnant woman yesterday..." He adjusted the angle of light and shadow and pointed out the details to the Baroness one by one:
"From this image, we can see the position of the fetus, head up or feet up, facing the abdomen or back, whether the umbilical cord is around the neck, whether the placenta is previa, whether the amniotic fluid is turbid..."
The Baroness looked confused and could only recognize that these lights and shadows were somewhat similar to the lights and shadows inspired by the Nordmark mage when they examined the Queen. At that time, the mage did make a similar judgment through these lights and shadows.
…
She nodded politely. Gretel said seriously:
"However, what each situation means, how it will develop in the future, and how to deal with it, we still need to accumulate enough experience to make better judgments. And the first step in accumulating experience is to record these things."
As she spoke, she pushed over a medical record. The Baroness opened it and read it carefully, and found that the treatment methods inside were indeed based on a summary of the image content. She reached out and touched the chip:
"Then...this..."
The fingertips touched lightly and then paused. Gretel smiled bitterly:
"The Alchemy Workshop quoted 10 contribution points per piece. I once bought hundreds of them at once, but they refused to give them any cheaper. - Later, I connected the box to the tower spirit, which saved me money."
The Baroness let out a long breath. In other words, if the conditions of every mother in the Royal Maternity and Infant Hospital were recorded, the number of microchips required would be extremely huge.
Mage Nordmark wants a tower spirit. It seems like he wants to save money rather than spending money indiscriminately?
"Besides, I don't want to have one." Gretel looked directly at the Baroness, his eyes serious, and in the Baroness's eyes, it seemed that he was a little aggrieved:
"You can borrow one or rent one. When I go back to Nevis, I can just take the information with me... This can always be done, right? Can the royal family help mediate or provide a guarantee?"
This request sounds much more reliable. Although Baroness Witteger doesn't know whether the Magic Council can lend or rent something like a tower spirit to outsiders... but it is better than asking the royal family to buy one for him.
.
"In that case, I'll give it a try." She put her hand on the table and stood up elegantly:
"I may not succeed, but I will try my best."
Gretel was full of thanks and sent her out. Hey, I don't know how much money I can earn from this trip to fly the knife, whether it is enough to buy a tower spirit...
Even if it's not enough, at least it can be a temporary one, let's use it for a while first!
Baroness Witteg drove straight to the Royal Mage Group and found the head of the group, Archmage Seymour. When she heard her request to "borrow or rent a tower spirit", the archmage looked shocked and rejected it without thinking.
Got:
"Tower Spirit? Are you kidding! When have you ever heard of such a thing being rented out separately? If there is a Mage Tower, there is a Tower Spirit. Without a Mage Tower, where would the Tower Spirit come from?!"
"Uh... But the Nordmark mage said that for the needs of medical research, he hopes to borrow one for a while..."
The Archmage was silent for a moment. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then stood up:
"I'll go ask."
baroness:???
I don’t have it if I borrow it. If Master Nordmark borrows it, can I ask?
You are treating it too differently! Is it closed to people outside the Magic Council, or does this Nordmark mage enjoy special treatment in the Council?
She sat in the reception room, patiently waiting for the result of the Archmage's communication. Since the Archmage said this, it seems that the king does not have any extra tower spirits, or even if he does, they are not in his hands. Whether he can get them depends on Ni
Will Weiss give it to you?
There is a long-term communication line between the Great Magic Tower in the Royal Capital and the Tower of Babel in the Parliament to deliver urgent messages. Of course, non-urgent messages can sometimes use this line, but you have to pay - you have to pay
Very high fees.
Otherwise, it is not enough to offset the extremely high energy cost of transmitting messages.
Grete's matter was a matter of whether or not he could charge money. However, Archmage Seymour did not consider the money issue and directly opened the line and conveyed the demand. After a while, he came out with a roll of parchment.
, sat down in front of the Baroness:
"Nevis asked how much the royal family is willing to pay for Master Nordmark to diagnose and treat the Queen?"
This question has always been vague between the royal family and the Magic Council. After all, both parties are persons of high status. When the council asked directly, it seemed that they did not believe that the royal family would be generous; the royal family made a direct quotation...
Please, the queen asks her subjects to do something and then gives them money. That’s called a “reward”, not “remuneration.” It’s too shameful to give money directly without asking people. It’s a waste of time and money.
I just asked for money on the spot!
However, the Baroness estimated that the royal family would not be able to afford less than 10,000 to 20,000 gold coins. This amount of money includes the cost of the surgery, the remuneration for bringing the team all the way here, and the three-month stay in the royal capital.
of remuneration.
What's more, the Queen's net worth is too small, and outsiders will say that the royal family is stingy.
With this money, I want to buy a tower, but the gap is too big; I want to rent a tower. Although the Baroness doesn't know the cost of renting a tower, but renting it for three months is probably more than enough. An incredible thought came to her mind
, said in surprise:
"what do you mean?"
"The idea from Nevis is that since he wants it, several companies can work together to see if they can sell it to him directly." Archmage Seymour's eyes were also a little dazed, but he still answered smoothly:
"In the royal capital, we will receive a few more guests who can afford to pay, teach other spellcasters, and write papers. If we add a few more aspects, he will contribute some of it himself to see if he can make up enough..."
