Chapter 506: They are still not as good as true friendship!
After hearing Brand's words, the two masters instantly realized the serious mistake they had made:
they underestimated the low cost of their materials and paid too much attention to the hidden textures of those two things!
It's obviously a auxiliary item in battle, so how come they ignored the cost issue?
But it’s not entirely their fault.
This thing is made of such ordinary materials, and it will break if I use a little force...
When I think of this.
The two elders suddenly realized something that made their hearts tremble!
——Can’t this thing be made of stronger materials?
——Or did someone deliberately use such fragile materials to make it?
According to the words of Master Clinton:
One or two years after these two things are made, the delicate structure inside will be deformed.
Judging from this, they should have been made within the past year or two!
In fact, it is very likely that Brand found someone to build them!
——If he didn’t have some purpose, how could Brand, a rich and extravagant guy, use ordinary materials to build them! ?
And even if Brand didn't find someone to build it.
This is what they looked like when he got them.
But if we use various methods to make them stronger in the future, I'm afraid there will be no problem!
——Brand is a master of rune formations!
Thinking about this, the two elders looked at each other and saw the anger and helplessness in each other's eyes.
——The "truth" has come to them!
Everything is a conspiracy!
They were plotted by this insidious guy Brand!
Because of the contract signed previously, Brand now holds the fruits of victory!
When the two eldest men were thinking wildly.
The two elders remained silent.
His face became more and more dignified and serious for no apparent reason.
In the end, there was even a hint of anger in their complicated expressions.
Brand couldn't help interrupting the thoughts of the two lords, and reminded:
"Two lords, according to the contract, you must now compensate me for two artifacts!"
Hearing this, Lord Claude looked displeased. Yue said:
"Okay! This time we admit defeat!
But you don't need to talk about the artifacts!
Even if we ignore their cost, they are made of ordinary materials after all. The
Imperial Judgment Department has a way to restore them .
The price is much smaller than that of your artifact!"
Hearing this, Brand was slightly surprised and said:
"Restoration? The Judgment Department still has such a method?"
Seeing that Brand did not know about this matter, the two The elder's suppressed emotions eased a bit.
After a brief thought, Mr. Cecil explained:
"You can simply understand it as an advanced form of the rune array that explores traces of the past of things.
This advanced form of the array can explore the past state of items, and then Restore it.
Of course, there are limitations.
In addition to consuming a lot of resources, the more advanced the material, the more difficult it is to restore."
"Great magic rune array?"
After a moment of surprise, Brand asked He pointed out:
"The two lords want the Inquisition Division to help restore these two things?
This does not violate the contract.
But the price will not be too small, right?"
Hearing this, Crowe Mr. De said helplessly:
"That would be an easier choice than compensating you with two artifacts, right?"
Immediately after, Mr. Cecil tentatively said:
"Of course, if you are willing to lower the price.
We will also It’s not that we can’t hand over ‘part of the price’ that originally needed to be handed over to the Judicial Division into your hands.”
As he spoke, Mr. Cecil emphasized the keywords of “part of the price.”
Obviously, they wanted to bargain with Brand.
Without waiting for Brand to respond.
Mr. Claude also patted Brand on the shoulder in cooperation, and then played the emotional card:
"After all, we are our own people, and we will become comrades in arms.
In order to prepare for the war, we have spent a lot of money. The foundation and resources.
So don’t cheat us here and give us a suitable price.”
I heard what the two great masters said to each other.
Brand said with a "embarrassed" look on his face:
"But these two things are indeed very valuable!"
Brand's tone showed signs of loosening slightly.
Claude struck a chord while the iron was hot with a genial
look on his face: "Don't be so indifferent to your own people.
I don't believe that the wise Brand will come up with a bait worth an artifact.
In addition to the issue of cost-effectiveness, your plan There is actually a certain amount of luck involved in the success.
We just forgot to calculate the cost because of the common materials.
If we had been more cautious and asked more masters, your plan would have failed."
Hearing this, Brand was a little confused and asked:
"What do you mean by plan?"
Without giving Brand any time to think, Mr. Cecil said in a sensible way:
"There is no plan! Everything is our problem. !
Although the cost of these two things is definitely not low, they should not be as expensive as you said, right?
I think you should have mastered a certain master's unique channel, or a special manufacturing method.
As for their specific value, I think you should have a great say."
Obviously, the two elders have guessed the truth.
But as long as no one can provide them with proof.
Then the initiative is always in Brand's hands.
At this time, Brand's focus has changed a little:
from what the two big men said, they seem to think that all this is their own calculation?
The damage to these two things was not an accident?
Thinking of this possibility, Brand took out the contract signed yesterday, and then asked tentatively:
"Although this contract was only signed by the three of us.
But I still want to ask:
Have the two eldest men entered into the contract with several other people?"
Will they be involved in the subsequent compensation matters?" Upon
hearing Brand's inquiry, the two kind gentlemen had no intention of hiding anything.
Mr. Claude smiled and said bluntly:
"Although we haven't had time to discuss it yet, I think everyone will definitely bear your losses together!"
After hearing this, Brand instantly realized:
This incident is indeed not an accident!
This should be a conspiracy planned by several great masters to weaken his strength!
After thinking about this clearly and thinking about it carefully, Brand pointed out:
"If the amount of compensation is not large, I think other people will not have any objections and will be willing to share the loss. But
if the amount is too large , , I’m afraid the two great gentlemen still have to bear the main responsibility, right?
Since the Pioneering War is approaching, everyone is under great pressure to prepare for the war.
In addition, after all, the two great gentlemen are the ones who actually inspected these two things and damaged them."
Hearing this, the two elders couldn't help but frown.
Because I already got the answer from their expressions.
Brand smiled and continued:
"Although the value of these two things is indeed comparable to artifacts,
to me, they are still not as good as true friendship.
If Andy or Finn were the ones who broke them, Then I will definitely not mention compensation.
After all, they are on my side.
But I don’t know which side the two elders are going to stand next?"
