my age of magic

Chapter 1075. Loneliness in the bustling world
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became silent. Mrs. Cecilia squinted her eyes, her face turned red and then pale. She quickly lowered her head and picked up the glass of rum in front of her. I cut the cold shrimp into countless pieces on a silver plate, calmed down, raised my head to face me, forced a smile, and said, "Master Jijia, so you bought it." This courtyard."

Her smile was a little bitter, a little embarrassed, a little flustered, and a little weakly angry. When she squinted her eyelashes looked very long, her voice became a little hoarse and dry.

The bitterness in that smile may be due to the ignorance of the unknown life in the future. After leaving the imperial capital and the circle of life she knew well, she put all her eggs in one basket for the future, and wanted to make a big fortune before the war between the planes was won. , Mrs. Cecilia brought all her savings back to the province of Aidera, which has become unfamiliar, maybe she wants to form a brand new knight order of construction, but in my opinion, her construction The knights in costume are too young, they still need training on the battlefield and the baptism of blood.

The embarrassment in that smile may be caused by the embarrassment caused by "provoking the relationship between me and Alia, but I didn't expect that the benefactor behind Alia happened to be me", Mrs. Cecilia never thought of it anyway The magic assistant next to the Yerkes scholar has such financial resources.She should have thought of it a long time ago. It is impossible for a lady like her not to read magic newspapers. Some time ago, the incident between me and Princess Qige and Princess Yingli caused a lot of trouble in the entire imperial capital. Maybe she never thought that I was that man. A young magician married to Qige and Yingli.

The panic in her smile was because she chose the latter between the Yerkes scholar and the Dunbar knight. Before Madam Cecilia was about to leave the imperial capital, it was unwise for her new love to meet the Yerkes scholar. At the same time, maybe this young knight will be of great help to her and her Constructed Knights in the days to come, but this meeting and choice put her in Yerkes Scholars The last trace of her heart was erased, but the twenty sets of magic pattern structures were still in the hands of the Yerkes scholar, so there was an unconcealable panic on her face.

The powerless anger is because of Knight Dunbar - this young knight with a handsome appearance, marble-like smooth skin, muscular muscles, superb swordsmanship, and always talking about fighting for love. It's not like what he said when he was boastful, he can be unafraid and not panic in the face of danger, but he will naturally choose to obey in the face of powerful forces, without any blood.

Because of his youth, Knight Dunbar has infinite vitality and fiery passion, but he has not experienced the test of life and death. He has not yet possessed the appearance that a mature man should have. Mrs. Cecilia needs a heart at this moment A big tree or a big umbrella that can keep out the wind and rain.But what Dunbar Knight can give her is only a moment of pleasure in bed.Sometimes in the choice of life, one step forward is a clear sky, but one step back is a storm.

The crystal chandelier on the roof ceiling is swaying gently, making the shadows under your feet sway left and right.

I said to Mrs. Cecilia: "This courtyard looks really nice, secluded and unique. It is really not easy to sell such a satisfactory courtyard in the imperial capital."

Madame Cecilia smiled reluctantly at my compliment.

I asked Mrs. Cecilia: "It must be very expensive to form a Constructed Knights?"

Mrs. Cecilia put her hands together, put them on the dining table, sighed lightly and said: "I have already filled in all my savings, but unfortunately it is not enough, otherwise I would not have sold this room." patio."

Alia, who was sitting next to me, put her finger into the liqueur glass, dipped a little blue-purple blueberry wine, quickly wrote down a set of numbers on the dining table, and then told me a set of data, she said : "For a 500-member Constructed Knights, even if the daily expenses of the Constructed Knights are not considered for the time being, at least [-] magic crystals are needed for [-] sets of magic patterns. The magic pattern construction, I am afraid that I will go to Durva Province to purchase war horses, prepare logistics troops and logistics regiments, and consider the salary of each construction knight, but all this is only needed at the beginning The more you do it, the more trouble you will have.”

Hearing such detailed data from Alia, I also secretly took a deep breath. Calculated in this way, a 500-member Constructed Knight Order needs at least [-] magic crystals to form, and then it will need The continuous supply of materials is really a waste of money.

Aliya said to me: "If we can continue to win the war of planes, we can recover these investments together with the principal and interest. Among them, the territories on the rich planes are the most profitable. If you are lucky At that time, with the knights, there was no indigenous tribe across hundreds of miles of territory, occupying such a vast territory, and opening up logging fields, mines, hunting grounds, and pastures on this land. There will be a steady stream of wealth recovered."

I seldom listen to other people talking about the development of the plane, and I am quite curious about these things, especially after I own a large forest and lake in the small town of Trum, Tanton City, the plane of Hierro, these things Gradually began to be my attention.

Seeing that I was engrossed in listening, Alia smiled smugly, and then said: "Many young wealthy nobles have such experiences when they set up their own houses. There is a new Constructed Knights Order, and there are more than a dozen small adventure groups improvised Knights Order, these methods are varied, but the ultimate goal is only one, to accumulate wealth and open up territories.”

When I was on the Vashj plane, I also heard Noah and me talk about the various benefits of expanding the territory on the plane, but Noah did not speak as thoroughly as Alia. It turns out that this is also the reason why the noble children won the title a method.

Thinking of the wealth I gained on the Vashj plane before, now it is only enough to form a construction knight order, I sighed and said: "Even if this is the case, the initial investment in constructing the knight order is too great." Come on!"

Aliya glanced at me speechlessly, and said to me: "The main reason is that the price of the magic pattern structure is too high, which is why many nobles and wealthy families have special inscribers, although every inscriber uses magic. Crystal stones are piled up, but once you become a master of inscriptions, then all the efforts are worthwhile."

After Aliya's explanation, she suddenly felt that Mrs. Cecilia was really courageous this time.

Scholar Yerkes finally couldn't help asking Mrs. Cecilia: "How many gaps are there in the magic spar?"

Mrs. Cecilia shook her head silently and said nothing.

Aliya glanced at Scholar Yerkes, and asked him with a smile: "Scholar Yerkes, the magic pattern structures you brought tonight are not intended to be half sold and half given to Mrs. Cecilia. "

Scholar Yerkes raised his head, put the table knife in his hand on the silver plate, and then said to Aliya seriously: "It is already my responsibility to bring back these twenty sets of high-grade leather armor intact. maximum ability."

Hearing what the Yerkes scholar said, Mrs. Cecilia's expression was slightly moved, and she gave the Yerkes scholar a grateful look.

I think Mrs. Cecilia's grateful eyes are not only because the Yerkes scholar has helped her make twenty complete sets of magic pattern structures, but also because the Yerkes scholar still maintains a close relationship with Cecily. Mrs. Ya deserves respect.Madam Cecilia wants to retain the last bit of aristocratic dignity in front of the Yerkes scholar, and does not want to accept the Yerkes scholar's gift.

The price of a set of ordinary elementary magic pattern construction is about 120 magic crystals. For inscription masters, there is a high probability of failure when making magic pattern construction. If the success rate of making magic pattern construction can be If it reaches about 60.00%, it can be considered that the drawing skills of the inscription master are skilled. The success rate of the magic pattern construction must reach at least [-]%.

Few inscription masters can make all the prepared leather armors into magic pattern constructions without damage when making magic pattern constructions. There will always be some failed products. determining factor.So in many cases, those noble lords would rather spend a high price to buy the finished magic pattern structure than to go to the inscription master to draw the magic pattern circle on it with high-grade leather armor.

Mrs. Cecilia took out [-] sets of high-level leather armors and asked Yerkes scholars to draw the magic pattern structure, including ten sets of leather armors of earth storm bears, and ten sets of hard leather armors of petrified lizards. It is a high-end product belonging to the category of third-level monsters. Although it is not as good as Kalancuo's Spider Warlord Hard Leather Armor and Katerina's Sub-Dragon Light Leather Armor, this kind of leather is still considered superior for making primary magic pattern structures. top choice.

The value of such a set of high-quality primary magic-weave outfits is at least three times that of ordinary magic-weave outfits. I guess Mrs. Cecilia didn't expect Yerkes scholars to buy a lot of these high-level leather armors. Brought back, but now that the Yerkes scholar said this, it undoubtedly confirmed the number of magic pattern structures brought tonight.

I guess maybe just a moment ago, Mrs. Cecilia was still worried about how many sets of magic pattern constructions the Yerkes scholar would come up with tonight because of the Dunbar Knight, but she didn't think it would be complete. Twenty sets.

Perhaps because of the concern about the twenty sets of magic pattern structures, several delicacies were served on the dining table one after another, but Mrs. Cecilia ate nothing.

After finally reaching the end of the dessert, the Yerkes scholar had no intention of staying with Mrs. Cecilia, so he took twenty magic sealing boxes out of the magic pocket one after another, and placed them in the restaurant On the open marble floor, and opened the lids of the magic-sealing boxes one by one, the magic-stripe structures in the magic-sealer box looked radiant, and from time to time, the glow of magic streaked across the surface of the magic-sealed structures.

Mrs. Cecilia stood up from her seat and stared at the two rows of exquisite primary magic pattern structures in front of her. Her hands were placed on both sides of her body, tightly clenched into fists.

"The total production cost of the twenty sets of primary magic pattern structures is [-] magic crystals. Don't forget to have someone send it to the Imperial Academy of Magic." Scholar Yerkes put the twenty sets of magic pattern After the structure was placed on the ground, he said to Mrs. Cecilia calmly.

Aliya sat beside me, wrinkled her nose, snorted softly, and then whispered in a voice that only the two of us could hear clearly: "Take out twenty sets of high-grade leather armor, and you will get twenty sets The low-level magic pattern structure is still purchased at the market price, and Cecilia will not suffer from this transaction."

Just as Knight Dunbar and two other young knights stepped forward to inspect the magic pattern structures, the Yerkes scholar got up to bid farewell to Madam Cecilia.

I asked Arya, "Is the yard deal done?"

She nodded and said to me, "It's done. If I hadn't heard that the Yerkes scholar and you would come here in the evening, I would have taken the two of them and left in the afternoon."

I said, "Then what are we still doing here? Let's go together."

So Aliya bid farewell to Mrs. Cecilia, and Mrs. Cecilia took us to the door with a group of entourages. Before boarding the magic caravan, Aliya also said to Mrs. Cecilia: "Tomorrow morning I will send someone to officially take over the courtyard."

Mrs. Cecilia nodded slightly, and said to Alia: "I will leave here tomorrow morning, and I will hand over the follow-up matters to the housekeeper. After he finishes handing over the courtyard, please help him buy a flight ticket." A boat ticket for Aydra province.”

In the end, Aliya actually turned around and stepped off the magic caravan, opened her arms and hugged Mrs. Cecilia deeply, and said to her: "Don't worry, I will send him to the magic airship."

Aliya and Mrs. Cecilia stood side by side in front of the magic caravan, looking up at the beautiful buildings in the courtyard, Aliya's eyes were blurred, and she said with deep emotion: "Speaking of it, we have known each other for six or seven years. , At that time, your husband just bought this courtyard in the imperial capital, and Colin and I attended the ball held by you together, and you blatantly seduced Colin at the ball."

Mrs. Cecilia laughed and said to Alia: "At that time, Colin was still the first heir to the Babington family, and he controlled the entire industrial empire of San Carlos in his hands. At that time, the imperial capital In addition to Prince Charlie, the four sons of the most famous wealthy families——Colin Babington, Louis Mensa... No matter which one you climb, you may become the lover of the future Grand Duke. I How can you not be tempted?"

I don't know who sighed lightly.

After a moment of silence, the two said in unison: "Time flies so fast!"

The magic caravan slowly drove out of the courtyard that will soon belong to me, until the moment the gate closed, I could still see Mrs. Cecilia standing on the stone steps through the gap in the railing of the gate, the copper gate facing The outside was open, and the bright light from the inside covered her body, and there was an indescribable loneliness.
