When the bell rang at the right time, a certain big sister's mood completely calmed down. She directly flashed and disappeared from the classroom, leaving someone to deal with the aftermath.
Lin, who came out to smooth things over, heaved a sigh of relief and packed up the things he brought today, especially the samples he took from himself. However, he didn't touch the microscope that was already set up. Instead, he patted it and said to the old magician next to him, whose eyes were shining, "Master Kabanbai, this microscope is our gift to the academy."
"Gift? Why is that? " For a magician, a transaction was an exchange of equal value. For the time being, a 'gift' could be regarded as an exchange of equal value. Even if a gift had a purpose, it would be more reassuring to ask clearly.
Of course, Lin knew the origin of the old magician's worries. He directly said, "In the future classes, we will also use this microscope. It is very troublesome to move it around, and after moving it, we still have to install it, which is also very troublesome. So after discussing with Finn, we decided to donate one to the academy. This way, we can save the effort of moving and installing it, and the academy will also be responsible for the safekeeping. Moreover, everyone will want to use it, at least I knew how to do it when I was researching it. Leaving one for public use can also allow the academy to arrange the use of this microscope during their free time, so that they can only look at it and do nothing. This kind of gift is not bad, right? "
What a certain someone didn't say was, of course, to put a prototype in the academy, what a good advertisement. People who wanted to use it would come to touch it, and after touching it, they would want to take one home and slowly touch it. This was human nature. Don't ask whether it would be useful or not, even if it was really not, for some magicians, having one in their home was also a good treasure to show off.
It was the same mentality as the aristocrats who had art pieces in their homes. Since in the Holy City, magicians would pursue academic status, what could be better than this kind of professional machine to show how knowledgeable the owner of the house was?
For the Great Magician Kabanbai, he knew that the other party's reason actually revolved around the word 'lazy'. Although he had only known these two for a few days, their personalities were really easy to understand. Kabanbai could only accept this gift with a smile, and at the same time, he felt the burning gaze behind him. He could imagine that there would be many old and new friends fighting for the right to use the microscope later.
But he had another problem. "Mr. Tripwood, are you willing to sell this microscope publicly?"
This was exactly what a certain someone was thinking. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to open his mouth. "Oh, someone is willing to buy it. Of course, that's not a problem. It was made by the silver-bearded dwarf who was traveling with me. The internal program was carefully designed by Finn. In addition to the magnification function, it also had the functions of taking pictures, scanning, analyzing, and recording. Moreover, not only could it observe the sample from the eyepiece, but it could also be connected to the water mirror screen. If you want, the price is 2000 Gold Kiel, and we also provide special customization services. In other words, they could make corresponding designs for special needs. As long as the materials were not delayed, the production period could be completed in about seven to fourteen days. Unless there was a very special request. The instruction file is directly recorded in the operating system of the microscope. If necessary, you can refer to it directly. "
Someone had thought about selling microscopes a long time ago. Considering that this kind of thing couldn't be played to the extent that everyone had one like the forum. It was a research device itself, and there were very few people who had an exact need for it. Instead of taking the route of low profit and quick turnover, it was better to take the high-end, high-priced customization route that had complete functions and was convenient to use. If he sold one, he had to make a profit.
On the other hand, it was also a source of income for the silver-bearded dwarf.
Considering that the four rebellious children who ran away from home now relied on someone for their food and clothing. Indeed, they also helped a lot during the journey. However, there were many research and development projects that required funding for the restoration of the Armed Forces of Peace that had recently started.
In this part, Lin wanted to help with no limit, including the financial part. Even if it wasn't enough right now, he could still find a way to squeeze it out. But perhaps it was the method of seizing the airship Sid that made the dwarves wary. Therefore, they would rather find a way to make money themselves and try their best to control everything about the peaceful armed forces instead of letting someone interfere too much.
Lin didn't have much opinion on this. The idea of this set of power armor was up to fate. The attitude of the silver-bearded dwarf saved him a lot of trouble.
Originally, they hoped to find a way to make money with their skills in the Holy City to support the improvement and research of the peaceful armed forces. But these simple young men from the countryside were not used to living in a human city. He let them go out alone, but in just three days, they almost sold themselves …
Therefore, after discussing with the four of them, he decided to maintain the current relationship. Someone would still arrange their work, and the income from selling their products would depend on the situation. The part of the income that belonged to them would be used as research funds for the peaceful armed forces, and someone would continue to support their food and accommodation. After all, this was the condition for taking them away in exchange for their craftsmanship.
Perhaps the silver-bearded dwarves could be classified as the less creative type compared to the technological progress of Earth, but the technology of making precision items was indescribable, unlike their dwarf relatives. Although the dwarves had technology, they didn't like to make such precision items. Naturally, there was a gap in technology between them and the royal dwarves.
Therefore, regarding the fact that he could still master the technology of the silver-bearded dwarves, someone still had the same answer: no objection.
And the first product launched by the silver-bearded dwarves was this integrated microscope. The price of two thousand gold coins was, of course, exorbitant. But this was a unique business and product in the mysterious land, and the people who needed it were definitely not the kind of poor people who couldn't even afford to eat, so someone had no qualms about cheating them.
But two thousand gold coins was not a small amount for the rich sorcerers. The Association's asking price for the forbidden spell was about the same amount. Therefore, it could be seen that when someone offered the price, many old sorcerers had a difficult look on their faces.
But someone really wanted to say that the forbidden spell had to be learned and refined, and it might not be used even once in a lifetime. The microscope was fully functional and could be used as soon as they bought it. What was there to consider?
But those words were too arrogant, and it was easy for people to be embarrassed. Therefore, Lin took out a proposal and said, "Of course, whether this thing is suitable or not, it's better for everyone to evaluate it. Don't make a decision too early. If there is a need for the time being, come to the academy and borrow this set to use. At the same time, you can familiarize yourself with how to use it. Otherwise, you can try to make it yourself. "
Kabambai asked, "Make it yourself? What do you mean? "
"As the core of the microscope, which is the magic device modified from the Arcane Eye, I call it the 'Microscopic Eye'. I've already submitted the design and magic patterns to the Association some time ago. The price I set is C Kiel (one hundred gold coins). As long as the Association approves it, you can get it from the Association. At that time, you can make the device that suits your habits. Because I'm also a strange person, I know that some things are not made by hand, so it's inevitable that I'll be a little worried. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a few old sorcerers couldn't sit still and wanted to run to the I Tower. That was the headquarters of the Society of Sorcerers, and it specialized in selling the magic knowledge collected by the Association. But as soon as the experienced Kabambai opened his mouth, the others couldn't leave. "Mr. Cupwood, what's the difference between the Microscopic Eye you mentioned and this microscope?"
Lin Xiang thought and said seriously, "The Microscopic Eye is the core part, but the operation is very simple. In the past, the Microscopic Eye was similar to how people operated the Arcane Eye. Many of the additional functions were added after Fen felt that they were useful in her later research. So, the whole microscope device can be said to be part of her painstaking efforts and results. The convenience of operation is even more incomparable. "
After Lin Xiang finished speaking, he added at the end, "I've also turned in some small spells that are quite convenient to use to the Association. Including the Whiteboard Brush Spell. "
Everything that needed to be said had been said, and everything that needed to be known had been learned. The people in the classroom chatted for a while, and the old sorcerers, including Priest Batu, all excused themselves and left in a hurry.
Lin Xiang also wanted to use Blink to leave, but he was going to his math class later. Although Blink was very convenient, running back and forth was not a solution. The main reason was that he couldn't change his mentality, so he simply stayed and walked to the math class, accompanied by Archmage Kabambai. Frankly speaking, the old man's courtesy made Lin Xiang feel a bit nervous.
But when he thought about the fact that one of the founders of the academy, Archmage Bejan, who was also Kabambai's good friend, was surrounded by the other sorcerers in the classroom, and they were "discussing" the right to use the only Labyrinth Microscope, Lin Xiang felt a bit nervous. Lin Xiang felt that the old sorcerer beside him had thrown the mess to someone else …
No wonder when the old man knew that Lin Xiang was going to the math class, he had to personally send him off. He couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
Although there was a difference in age, Kabambai's respect was not fake. It was the same in front of people and behind people. Lin Xiang couldn't help but admire this kind of behavior. If it was him, would he be so free and easy when facing someone younger than him?
But the old man was not only knowledgeable, he also loved to gossip. On the way to the math class, Archmage Kabambai asked, "Sir, just now in the life class, Ms. Fen Ni seemed to be very dissatisfied with her former subordinates. Do you know why?"
This was a Lich's private matter, and according to their relationship, Lin Xiang shouldn't have asked. But if the truth about Fen's past was known by the people of the current world … It didn't seem to be a big deal. In fact, it would help reduce the misunderstanding of her. Therefore, after some serious consideration, Lin decided to talk about the history that he had learned from Fen, which was different from what the world knew.
