Weapons and equipment?

When Victoria heard Gao Wen's words, she couldn't help but feel moved.

The situation was not beyond expectations, and everything was as she had speculated in the past few days Cecil was short of money.

In the past three days, Victoria has used various methods to investigate the situation in the southern border. Although she has no way to directly contact the staff of the Government Affairs Office and cannot leave the city, she has been able to access the Cecilian market, their newspapers, and hear the sounds in the streets and alleys. She has even seen twice the magic projection of the Cecilians call this magic "program". From these publicly disseminated information, she can reason about many useful things.

Cecil was developing very rapidly. Gowen Cecil, a founding hero who had experienced the Gondor era, seemed to be using his knowledge from seven hundred years ago to build this land. He started several amazing projects, including reallocating the population of the entire southern border and building several new cities at the same time. Such a large-scale project undoubtedly requires amazing wealth to support.

The freshman Principal of Cecil should have been very nervous about finances. This is the conclusion that Victoria reasoned out in the investigations in the past few days.

Before she arrived in the southern border, she had been thinking about what to use to appease and win over the "recognition" of the founding grand duke from the royal family, or all the "orthodox certification" from the contemporary aristocracy was meaningless to this duke who was the source of orthodox, but after knowing that Cecil's finances might be tense, she thought she had found the best "gift".

And after seeing the extraordinary equipment of the Cecils, she did have a huge interest in those things. She just didn't know how to take the initiative to speak in this regard, but now it seems... the two sides have what they need, and this is the best situation.

"You should have seen my army and re-armed Rock Fortress," Gao Wen looked at the little change in Victoria's eyes that ordinary people could not detect, and knew that the other party was thinking in his own direction. He restrained his unbearable smile and continued to say sternly, "The Principality has decided that my army is only enough to protect this land, but the weapons we have prepared to deal with the war are very abundant. Those are high-quality extraordinary weapons, which must be very helpful to the Kingdom Army."

"There is no doubt about this," Victoria said immediately. "The people of the East can fight well, and our soldiers will find it difficult to fight against it, but if there are a group of powerful weapons, the situation will definitely be different from now..."

"That would be better," Gao Wen nodded, but then changed his subject, "But the extraordinary armed forces are different from ordinary swords after all. The Cecil family has a lot to spend to build them, so I can't give them to the Kingdom Army for free."

Victoria was not surprised by this: "Of course, extraordinary armed forces have always been rare. If you can buy them with money, it would be a great thing. But I want to know, what weapons do you have to sell to the Kingdom Army, and how many are there?"

Gao Wen smiled slightly and stood up: "Come with me, I think the actual display will impress you more."

Victoria followed Gao Wen's footsteps and left the lord's mansion, and took a magic car to leave the administrative area directly. After a while, the surrounding buildings gradually became sparse, and several mail towers appeared in sight.

They came to the weapons test site located northeast of the city.

After getting off the bus, Victoria couldn't help but look back at the transportation she had just taken. This was a very convenient and quick thing, especially on the battlefield. It would not be as frightened as a war horse, and it had a strong shell and huge strength. If it was installed on the car, arranged archers and javelins, or used them to transport food and grass... how good would it be?

While thinking, a young knight had arrived in front of Gaowen and Victoria. He was notified in advance and was ready on the test ground. "Two sirs, everything is ready."

Gao Wen signaled Philip to lead the way, while Victoria temporarily restrained her thoughts. Accompanied by some of the entourage, she followed Gao Wen and the young knight and soon arrived at a clearing ground that was guarded by soldiers.

She saw a soldier walking up to Gao Wen, who was holding a long wooden box in his hand. After the wooden box was opened, there was a one-handed long sword with a dark blue blade, beautiful shape but not losing its momentum.

She had seen this sword in the hands of the female knight named Margarita, and she was impressed by it.

"This is an extraordinary armed force with the power of fire element. We call it a melt-cut sword," Gao Wen picked up the sword, waved it twice at will, and then pressed a mechanism on the hilt in front of Victoria. The sword immediately buzzed a very slight buzz, and its sword blade quickly turned red. The air near the sword edge instantly showed a distortion visible to the naked eye, which made Victoria realize the amazing heat on the sword blade. "As you can see, its high-heat blade is its source of power. Under normal chopping, it can easily cut off any ordinary sword, and can also cut off light and medium metal armor twice. It may not be so good when dealing with heavy armor units, but its heat can continuously heat the armor of heavy armor warriors, and its lethality is still deadly."

Victoria got closer. She took the long sword handed over by Gao Wen, felt the amazing heat emitted by the latter, but she felt the magic of the automatic operation of the sword inside: "It does not require magic for the user?"

"Yes, this is a self-supporting extraordinary armed force. As long as you have been trained, ordinary people can use it."

Self-sustaining extraordinary armament This is the most expensive one among extraordinary armament!

"No wonder the Southern Noble Alliance is not your opponent," Victoria looked at the deadly and beautiful weapon in her hand in admiration. "If ordinary soldiers can also equip magic weapons, any army will become extremely terrifying... How much is a sword like this?"

Gao Wen looked at Victoria's reaction with satisfaction and said a price that made the other party stunned: "It only costs twenty Ansuyuan gold coins or seventeen shield gold coins."

Victoria was surprised that it wasn’t too expensive, but too cheap!!

If you buy a sword with twenty gold coins, it is of course very expensive if you are an ordinary sword, because a steel long sword without magic is only worth two or three gold coins at most. Even if it is a famous craftsman, the price is only more than four gold coins. But if it is an extraordinary weapon... Twenty gold coins sometimes don't even have enough materials!

A long sword with the simplest sharp enchantment can be fed to hundreds of gold coins, and the price of a sword with elemental power will even double. In many cases, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy extraordinary weapons that meet the requirements. Because those who can create magic weapons are extraordinary people with transcendent status, and extraordinary people themselves are not short of money. If you want to ask them to build weapons, in addition to money, they must also have sufficient identity and status.

But in Cecil, a long sword with elemental power only has twenty gold coins... and this kind of sword is mass-produced.

“Is this price not right?”

Gao Wen's voice woke Victoria up, and she shook her head: "No, it's actually much cheaper than I thought."

"The cheapness is because it has certain flaws," Gao Wen laughed. "You should already know that many of Cecil's extraordinary weapons are mass-produced, but to mass-produce things with magic, we must make certain compromises in terms of quality. The sword in your hand is no different from a real extraordinary weapon when it is used normally, but the magic capacitor buried in the hilt of its sword will be damaged after a period of time, and then it will become an ordinary weapon."

"No wonder it's so cheap..." Victoria showed a sudden look, and then couldn't help asking, "What about the magic mechanism in the hilt of the sword?"

"It can be replaced to make up for quality defects, many of its components can be disassembled and replaced," Gao Wen smiled. "Don't worry, that magic mechanism is cheaper. The new magic capacitor only costs one round gold coin. And if you are worried that ordinary soldiers will not replace it well, it will damage other key structures of the sword, you can send them back and we will replace them for free."

"Just one gold coin?" Victoria confirmed it, and after receiving a positive answer, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems... quite cost-effective? Although the continuous replacement of magic mechanisms may cost a lot of money, this kind of "melting sword" is still too cheap than buying a truly extraordinary armed weapon.

After that, more weapons samples that could be used for sale were sent to Gowen and Victoria.

Gao Wen ordered the soldiers to demonstrate the weapons on the spot, and he introduced them all the same:

"This is a thermal ray gun. It can emit scorching rays. Although the range is much shorter than ordinary scorching rays, less than a hundred meters, it has exceeded many bows and arrows, and its power is even more powerful than that of bows and arrows. Of course, it is also a cheap mass-produced extraordinary weapon. Its focus array can easily be damaged. You should know that this is an unavoidable situation. However, you are not worried about it, and focus arrays are also very cheap..."

"Crystal grenades are reliable, so you don't have to worry about service life. They are consumables themselves, but they are definitely cheaper and easier to carry than burst reels."

"Magic armor, excellent defense methods are equally important to soldiers, and I believe you don't want soldiers armed with a lot of gold coins to die easily on the battlefield. This armor has a variety of effective enchantments, and the power core on the chest can keep it running for four hours, which is enough to deal with most battles. Its various enchantments are generated by relying on rune substrates in the slots of the armor. In other words, changing the rune substrate or adding or decreasing the rune substrate can change the magic resistance of the armor, which can cope with very complex battlefield situations. No matter what the enemy is, soldiers can effectively fight against it."

"How much is this armor worth?" Victoria couldn't help but interrupt Gao Wen. On this armor, she saw a unique design idea. Although she didn't know that this design idea was called "modular", it did not prevent her from becoming extremely interested in magic armor.

"Free." Gao Wen said two words with a faint smile.

Victoria thought she had auditory hallucinations: "No...free?!"

"Yes, armor is free. Because it has different combinations and is really not easy to price, we only sell rune substrates. Wang Guojun can order a few specific rune substrates according to their needs. As long as you buy three, armor can be given as a gift for free. If you buy a complete set of rune substrates, you can also get three additional crystal grenades."

Victoria felt that she had heard a lot of unheard words from Gao Wen, but the meaning of these words was not difficult to understand. It just took some thought to keep up with Gao Wen's rhythm. She tried hard to keep up with this rhythm, and then she felt...it seemed to be quite appropriate?

Everything is reasonable. The Cecils did achieve mass production of extraordinary weapons, but their mass production required a price. The price was that the quality of weapons could not be compared with the real extraordinary weapons. They always had key components that could easily be damaged and then had to be replaced, but the prices of those components themselves were not very high...

Victoria pondered, then asked: "How many sets of such equipment can you provide? A set of weapons and armor, not those crystal grenades."

Gao Wen estimated the efficiency of the production line and the existing inventory quantity, and said a conservative number: "Before spring, there is no problem with 10,000 sets."

Ten thousand……

This is the first time Victoria has heard of using this unit to describe the number of extraordinary armed forces.

She felt her heart pounding. The role that ten thousand extraordinary armed forces could play was constantly deducing in her mind, but after the initial excitement calmed down, she immediately realized how huge a sum of money it would take.

The extraordinary armed forces of the Cecils are indeed very cheap in unit price, and they are almost a fraction of the ordinary extraordinary armed forces, but...

Their unit of quantity is "ten thousand".

This number is quite terrible.

Moreover, this has not calculated the subsequent replacement of vulnerable parts and maintenance. Although there is no exact data yet, Victoria instinctively feels that it may be a lot of money.

"We are afraid... there are not so many gold coins," Victoria said with some embarrassment. She was a little embarrassed at first, but considering that what she saw was her elders, the embarrassment as a junior was relieved, she directly mentioned the current difficulties of the Kingdom Army. "The East Rebels occupied one of the richest areas on the Holy Spirit Plain, and the war in the past six months has consumed a large amount of the Kingdom Army's reserves."

"That's it..." Gao Wen showed a hint of embarrassment. He frowned and thought for a few minutes. When Victoria was about to speak, he sighed long, "But what I'm talking about is the cost price. You should know that neither the magic materials nor the mage fell from the sky... In this way, you can use half of the gold coins and half of the raw materials to offset it. Is this okay?"

Victoria blinked: "Half gold coins and half raw materials?"

"Iron ore, crystal ore, copper, quartz... these common materials are all available, and the payment is offset according to the market price," Gao Wen said. "This is the biggest concession I can make. I want to send the extraordinary weapons piled up to the battlefield of the Holy Spirit Plain. They are all made of resources from the southern border."

Victoria thought, and quickly calculated all the data in her mind. She could only estimate whether the Kingdom Army could afford such an amazing expense. Finally, after filling in some of the taxes and minerals in the north, she finally got enough.

For Ansu.
