A gleaming white, brand-new Mana Sedan, the latest model released by the Xinfei Merchant Guild, slowly drove into Falling Star Manor.
The Mana Sedan stopped in the parking area specially set aside behind the gates. Xu Yi opened the door and stepped out, his gaze involuntarily drifting toward another, jet-black Mana Sedan nearby. Seeing a deep dent beneath its side door, he could not help chuckling and shaking his head.
This Mana Sedan was Great Mage Camilla's personal vehicle, and as of today, it had been in her service for exactly one month.
Yet in that single month, the Mana Sedan, which cost a staggering 9,999 gold coins, had already been battered beyond recognition. Not only was its surface covered in all manner of scratches, but its body had also been dented in countless places, large and small. It was easy to imagine the "abuse" it had suffered over the past month.
One month earlier, the Xinfei Merchant Guild had unveiled its new Mana Sedan at a Product Launch. Its comfort and speed had won over not only many nobles and wealthy merchants in Bunta City, but also those in other cities throughout the Lampari Kingdom.
In just one month, the Xinfei Merchant Guild had received orders for more than three thousand Mana Sedans.
At a price of 9,999 gold coins each, the Mana Sedans alone would bring the Xinfei Merchant Guild a full thirty million gold coins in revenue!
Moreover, the Mana Sedan had been developed specifically for the high-end market, and its price was heavily inflated.
In fact, the estimated cost of producing one Mana Sedan was less than four thousand gold coins.
In other words, the Xinfei Merchant Guild could make an enormous profit of more than six thousand gold coins from a single Magic Locomotive.
