Chapter 556: Sprouting Seeds
Prague was naturally quite satisfied, and even a little apprehensive, with this gift. He knew what the value of this thing was, and to be honest, with this core alone, Jenn was qualified enough to receive that Order of the Ten Thousand Laws. Before coming to Passus, there was a lot of disagreement within Colencia about this, but Prague was sure that as long as he brought this core back, the debate about Jenn's eligibility for the Order of the Ten Thousand Laws would no longer have any meaning.
However, after this, Jenn made a rather bizarre offer to Prague, saying that he could provide the technology to the Colensian Empire, both in terms of drawings and finished products. However, he demanded that an agreement be signed with Bragg to confirm his ownership of the core technology of the Magician, and that a slightly strange clause be added to the agreement, that is, for every core that Colencia used to create a core, Jenn would take one percent of the technology royalty from it. This surprised Prague, who didn't understand what Jenn was trying to do. Didn't Jenn say that he would give her this magic core?
And for Prague's inquiry, Jenn naturally has his own explanation.
"Indeed, this core is a gift from me. But the core technology of magic is not, if you want this technology, we can transfer it, but we can't give it away. I think you also understand how important this technology is to Klein Continental. ”
"But you won't make much money at all?"
Although he knew that he had been tricked by Jenn's language trap, Prague didn't care too much, and was more concerned about another issue. According to Jenn, he only needs one percent of the technology usage fee for each core. As for the materials of the magic core, Prague had already made a rough estimate just now, except for the comparative value of Mithril. Everything else is common magic materials that can be found everywhere. The value of such a magic core adds up to the price of magic items, which is 10,000 gold coins, and one percent is only a hundred gold coins. Assuming that Colencia made 100,000 Magic Cores, then Jenn would only be able to get 10 million gold coins. This little money is nothing in the eyes of the mage, and I'm afraid it is nothing in Jenn's eyes, so what's the point of Jenn proposing this clause? Not to mention.........
"How can you be sure that we won't hide it from you?"
"I'm not sure."
Jenn shrugged his shoulders in the face of Prague's inquiry.
"But I trust your credibility......... Of course. I have a better way to do this, and that is to give all the Wizard Cores to the Rainbow Council to make them, so that I can only collect money from you, Archmage. ”
That's a good idea!!
Hearing Jenn's words, Prague's eyes also lit up, he was only thinking about the meaning of this magic core itself, but he didn't think about how Colencia should control and create it. And now Jenn's proposal suddenly made him nervous, knowing that in Colensia, many dangerous magic items are manufactured and sold by officially designated institutions. As mages, they know better than anyone the dangers of circulating magic items at will. A fireball staff is just as dangerous in the hands of a three-year-old child as it is in the hands of a ferocious bandit.
In the eyes of mortals, the Wizard Empire is almost a country that relies on magic from beginning to end, even for laundry and cooking. But in fact, this is not the case, even within Colensia, most of the magic items and devices that people often see belong to the Rainbow Council, major magic associations, and some well-documented organizations, and the magic items that individuals can obtain are actually quite limited.
And something like the magic core must be controlled in the way that Colencia has always done. Then it would be more reassuring to simply let the Rainbow Council take charge of itself. So. Not only can they control the number of Magic Core creations, but they can also control their spread. to prevent someone from copying something similar in private. After thinking this clearly, Prague naturally agreed to Jenn's request very happily. Of course, he didn't forget to add one thing to the agreement, that is, Jenn can only provide this magic core technology to the Rainbow Council, as long as the Rainbow Council does not violate the terms of the agreement, then Jenn cannot give this technology to other individuals or organizations at will. on this. Jenn hesitated slightly, but nodded in agreement. However, he did not forget to ensure that he could use and create the power of the magic core at the same time, so as to avoid the dilemma that what he invented would end up in the hands of others.
Although the mages are all wise and close to demons, Jenn is not far behind as a demon in this regard. The two foxes, one old and one young, negotiated for almost a whole day before all the terms were negotiated. Prague then signed the agreement on behalf of Colencia and Jenn. At the same time, he handed him the Order of the Ten Thousand Laws -- Originally, Prague suspected that this magic core was made by a certain archmage of the Pachanon family, after all, Jenn was too young, and although the principle of this magic core was very simple, it required a very high level of magical knowledge to put them together. So he initially thought it might be something that Pachanon had made, and that Jenn was just coming forward as a family representative to negotiate something else, and someone else actually made the core. But after a series of exchanges with Jenn about the Wizard Core, Bragg immediately dispelled his suspicions. In response to Bragg's questioning, Jenn answered almost every question in perfect detail, and even involved several core parts of the plane's knowledge. With all this revelation alone, Prague was already convinced that Jenn was no less than any of the archmages of Kolonsia in terms of magical knowledge alone, and even the members of the Rainbow Light Council were probably not much different. Therefore, after signing the agreement, Prague also felt that Jenn had wasted his great talent, and if this lord chose the path of magic, he would definitely achieve a higher achievement than he has now.
Jenn just smiled at Prague's words. At the same time, he also slandered in his heart that if he hadn't been tied to death by this nasty dungeon system, he would be regarded as the number one person in the demon world now, and he would not have been afraid to come to the main plane with his head to subvert and destroy the human world.
The treaty was rather low-key, and Jenn didn't make much of a splash about it. Because they all know very well what it means once the secret of this magic core is passed out. Piff is innocent of his guilt, and the reason why Jenn is willing to give his brainchild to Colencia. It's because of his Passus collar alone that making these things is too resource-intensive and useless. On the contrary, if this unique magic core created by himself is exposed, then he will have to face countless troubles, both light and dark. Therefore, Jenn simply transferred the trouble to the Demon Empire, anyway, the sky fell and they were in front of them. Jenn just had to count the money in the back.
Regarding the drawings and techniques of the magic core, the two sides also negotiated a mutually acceptable price, which Prague originally complained about. But after Jenn generously said that he could exchange the equivalent magic materials for it, Prague didn't have much of an opinion. Of course, he didn't expect that Jenn's original goal was not money, but these magic materials. After all, the upgrade and construction of the dungeon requires a large amount of magic materials, and some things Jenn can only dig from the ground, and some can only be robbed, no matter which one cannot last too long, so he simply asked the other party to exchange three-fifths of the agreed amount for magic materials of equal value. In this way, at least your own dungeon can have one more channel in terms of material collection.
Prague didn't have much confusion about this, he also knew that the place of Passus was very poor, and there was a huge family behind Jenn, so it would be too wasteful for him to use these magic materials himself. But if it is given to a family, it is only a drop in the bucket, besides, Colencia lacks nothing and lacks these magical materials, and Jenn has made a list except for a small number of particularly rare magical materials. It's basically a big road goods, and of course the mages won't refuse.
After signing the agreement. Prague didn't even attend the dinner and left in a hurry with his assistant. The stakes are so high that he must report to the Rainbow Light Council as soon as possible. After that, Jenn also ordered the paladins who were imprisoned to be released and expelled from Passus. Naturally, the priests complained about this, but after learning that Jenn had met with the archmage of Colencia before. Even Archbishop Edward, who scolded the loudest, turned pale, and immediately left the territory in a hurry with his people.
And after the two gangs left Passus, Jenn became laid-back again. And taking this opportunity, he also paid attention to the follow-up progress of everything he had arranged before.
According to Tilis's report, the Free Salvation Army (FAF) has successfully moved north. Having occupied those three fertile lands, although the Pawood family also immediately instigated the march of the army after the spring blossoms, it was a step too late. Now, with the exception of the Soros family's own territory, the rest of the territory has been completely occupied by the Northern Coalition and the Free Salvation Army. According to Tilis, Oldman is currently negotiating with representatives of the Pawood family under the mediation of the Templar. Oldman wants to directly separate from the Skar Federation, but the Pawood family obviously can't accept this kind of ending, and the two sides are also back and forth and refuse to back down. As for Soros, it is only a matter of time before the turtle in this urn is completely wiped out.
As for the Star Chamber of Commerce, Yunique has also done a good job, she has used the channel of the Chamber of Commerce to gather a large number of skilled craftsmen, and brought them to Passus to participate in the construction of the new city, and now the new city can be built so smoothly, the eldest lady of the Chamber of Commerce has contributed a lot. It seems that she is very aware of Jenn's thoughts, as long as this city is completed, then the reputation of the Star Chamber of Commerce will be raised to a new level.
Of course, Jenn also took advantage of the problems in the rest of the continent, first of all, the West, Klein's necromantic army finally passed the natural danger of the Frozen Fang, continued to advance, and destroyed the Duchy of Annotos. At the moment, the whole West is already in a state of panic, and the Templar Order is mobilizing forces to stop this army of death on the Chaos Coast, this is their last natural danger, once the undead break through the fortress of the Chaos Coast, then the entire hinterland of Seth will be uncovered, exposed to Klein like a beautiful woman with torn clothes, what will happen at that time......... That's also conceivable.
However, to Jenn's surprise, according to intelligence, plagues and insect infestations began to break out in large areas in the north of the Crane Continent, and a large number of locusts appeared in the grasslands of the north, eating everything there. Even the barbarians who lived in the wilderness had to choose to migrate to other places, which was obviously the work of Nabelius, but how could this squatting sister in the family think of making a move, Jenn didn't understand.
Vivien didn't move as always, and probably slept in her lair. And what made Jenn most depressed was Lilycia, since he swore that the next time he saw Lilicia, he would throw her to the orcs first X and then O, the second sister seemed to know what happened to her, and hid early and disappeared again, and she didn't know where she ran to have a good time.
However, for Jenn, he didn't have much time to relax either, because according to Enoa's report, Elise finally had signs of waking up. (To be continued......)
