Chapter 686 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, he bit the tip of his tongue and reluctantly swallowed the words. It hurts...
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. That’s it. Anyone who wants to buy it can buy it immediately!
However, during such a pause, he saw Gretel lowering his head slightly and arranging a row of chips on the table. Square, half the size of a palm, cut thinly and flatly, with subtle brilliance faintly 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. Grete 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 these lights and shadows, which were somewhat similar to the lights and shadows inspired by the Nordmark mage when they examined the Queen. At that time, the Master did make a similar judgment through these lights and shadows...
She nodded politely. Grete 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 he spoke, he 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, and they refused to give them any cheaper. - Later, I connected the box to the tower spirit, and I saved this money."
The Baroness let out a long breath. In this way, 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 with serious eyes. In the Baroness's eyes, it seemed that she 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 Witegg didn't know whether the Magic Council could lend or rent something like a tower spirit to outsiders...but it was still 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 gracefully:
"I may not succeed, but I will try my best."
Grete sent her out with gratitude on her face. Hey, I don’t know how much money I can make from this flying knife trip, whether it’s 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 Corps and found the head of the group, Archmage Seymour. Hearing her request to "borrow or rent a tower spirit", the Archmage was shocked and rejected it without thinking:
"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 medical research needs, 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 treat them 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 outcome of the Archmage's communication. Since the Archmage said this, it is likely that the king does not have any spare tower spirits, or even if he does, they are not in his hands. Whether you can get it or not depends on whether Nevis provides it.
A communication line has been maintained for a long time between the Great Magic Tower in the Royal Capital and the Babel Tower in the Parliament to deliver emergency messages. Of course, you can sometimes use this line for non-urgent messages, but you have to pay a high fee.
Otherwise, it is not enough to offset the extremely high energy cost of transmitting messages.
Grete's matter is between whether he can charge money or not. However, Master 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 and sat 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 issue has always been vague on both the royal family and the Magic Council. After all, both parties are persons of high status. The direct inquiry by the Parliament showed that they did not believe that the royal family would be generous; the royal family made a direct quotation...
Please, when the queen asks her subjects to do something and then gives them money, that is called a "reward", not "remuneration". Giving money directly without asking someone is too disrespectful. I just asked for money on the spot after eating the last meal but not the next meal!
However, the Baroness estimated that if it was less than 10,000 to 20,000 gold coins, the royal family would not be able to afford it. This money includes the cost of the surgery, the remuneration for bringing the team all the way here, and the remuneration for staying in the royal capital for three months.
What's more, the queen's net worth is too small, and outsiders will say that the royal family is stingy.
This amount of money is too much to buy a tower. I want to rent a tower. Although the Baroness does not know the cost of renting a tower, renting it for three months is probably more than enough. An incredible thought arose in her mind, and she 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:
"Accept a few more guests who can pay in the royal capital, teach other spellcasters, and write papers and so on. Add in a few aspects, and he will contribute some of it himself to see if he can make up enough..."
