my age of magic

Chapter 1115 218. Teach them a lesson

Alia was holding my arm, and wearing a pair of blue deer boots, she stepped on the stone pavement and made a 'click, click, click' sound.

Betty, the maid, followed behind her, holding a small sunshade umbrella of floral cloth. Betty was obviously better than those girls from small noble families in terms of appearance and temperament.

Alia's smile is like the brightest sun in autumn. Her long blond hair is coiled high on her head. She is tall and curvy. The white greasy skin on her neck and chest is dazzlingly white. She is so elegant Like a proud white swan, her blue eyes reflected the bustling crowd in the airport town market. She walked in the market wearing a yellow and white striped palace dress, and the aristocratic aura on her body made the commoners who came and went They all avoided the two sides.

The yelling of merchants, the bargaining of people in the small town, the sound of organ and clarinet music, the neighing of horses, and the thumping of chickens and ducks in cages merged into the most lively and joyful movement in the market. We walked through The streets and the noisy market come to the central square of the market.

One after another, the magic caravans gathered in the airport town trade market. Each magic caravan could only carry two huge wooden boxes, and the salty sea water continued to flow out from the gaps of the wooden boxes, dripping onto the streets of the airport market. On the flagstone road, the fountain in the center of the market has been occupied by these fish merchants from Xinghai City. They cleaned the fountain a little bit. Several young fish merchants wearing black sea animal suspenders and shirtless stood by the fountain, looking from the magic sealing box. He took out several frost scrolls and threw them into the fountain one after another.

This approach of the fish merchants in Xinghai City is quite novel to the people in the airport town.

For the residents of this generation in the imperial capital, magic scrolls are the exclusive items of magicians. When using magic scrolls, they need to recite spells, but the fish merchants in Xinghai City have changed their views. Shang untied the Malian grass ropes of the frost scrolls, and casually put the scrolls into the stone ground at the bottom of the dry fountain. Layers of cold ice mist diffused from the pool, and he stood by the fountain watching Those icy water vapors give people the illusion of standing above the clouds.

The magic caravan leaned against the circular fountain, and the fish merchants poured the frozen sea fish in the wooden boxes into the fountain. The fresh salmon mixed with crushed ice looked silvery white in the sun, and the cold air came up from the bottom of the fountain , shrouded these salmon in a light frost mist.

Crates of salmon quickly piled up the fountain into a hill, and then the fish merchants in Xinghai City spread out square wooden trays by the pool and placed plump salmon on it.People in the imperial capital want to eat some fresh game and fresh fish, and they are basically transported in magic-sealed boxes. This new mode of transportation made people in the airport town feel very novel, so everyone crowded in front of the stalls, cheering. Race to buy these chilled salmon.

Unexpectedly, these fish merchants in Xinghai City were willing to buy frosting scrolls to keep the salmon fresh. However, during the long-distance transportation, it is still inevitable that some salmon will deteriorate, even if they are re-frozen in the fountain, but Still can't hide the faint fishy smell.

There are too many people who want to buy chilled salmon, many people are crowded together, and the scene is a bit chaotic.

Aliya and I stood on the outside, lost interest in buying fresh salmon for a while, hired a large magic caravan, went back to the warehouse to pull a large cart full of magic-weave spider silk ingots, and hurried back to the imperial capital.

It takes at least one day for the magic caravan to cross the Majaro Pass. I sat in the magic caravan and practiced drawing "energy-gathering magic lines". Even the customs clearance requirements on the magic book cannot open the third page of the book.

Even so, I still gained a lot from this mysterious magic book, the two accompanying magic patterns of 'Demand Reduction' and 'Energy Gathering', for any magic pattern construction, it can be upgraded to a higher level .

Especially the second accompanying magic pattern directly changed the composition of some primary magic patterns.This accompanying magic pattern has a certain ability to gather magic, and can provide a source of magic power for some simple primary magic patterns. In this way, not only can first-rank warriors draw simple magic patterns on themselves, but even ordinary people can enjoy it. To the magic effect of the primary magic pattern structure.

I think the application of the 'Energy Gathering Mosaic' is far more than this, it should have a wider application space, but I haven't thought of it yet.

"Jijia, you are not only an ice magician, but also an inscription master, right!" Aliya said to me, lying on the soft leather sofa, tilting her head and looking at me.

"Yeah!" I looked up at Alicia and replied.

Katerina sat on the carpet of the carriage and practiced a gymnastics similar to yoga. This kind of gymnastics can enhance her flexibility, coordination, and balance. Many assassins and swordsmen will learn this set of gymnastics. In fact, this kind of gymnastics There is some dabbling in martial arts at the junior swordsman academy, and this kind of martial arts has become one of the compulsory courses at the advanced swordsman academy.

Aliya looked at Katerina enviously, she put one hand on her white chin, and said to me: "Seeing the scrolls used by the fish merchants in Xinghai City made me feel very shocked. Great inspiration."

At this time, I just finished a piece of 'Energy Concentrating Magic Pattern' on a piece of magic parchment, so I simply stopped writing and listened carefully to Alia's thoughts.

Encouraged by me, Aliya sat up from the sofa, took my magic engraving pen, and on the back of my magic parchment, outlined a picture of a cube with a few strokes. It can be seen that her painting Her foundation is very solid, and she has obviously studied in this area. Her slender fingers hold the pen in an elegant posture. Her full chest is pressed against the table, and she draws a wooden box in one breath, and puts a few strokes in the wooden box. Draw a few boards.

I drew a circle on the picture she drew with the tip of a pen, and said to me: "I was wondering if it would be possible to invent a box that would not be as expensive as a magic-sealing box, and would not be as rough as those wooden boxes. Let those fish merchants use this kind of box to hold fresh sea fish."

Her loose blonde hair was simply tied back, revealing a shrewd and capable look.

She continued to tell me: "As long as a few cheapest metal rune plates are inlaid in the box, these metal rune plates can keep these fresh fish in a frozen state all the way, so that when they arrive in the imperial capital, those frozen sea fish will not be damaged. It will stink, and I always feel that the wooden boxes of those fish merchants in Xinghai City are not good enough."

I scratched my head, and followed Aliya's thoughts and said, "This... it shouldn't be too difficult. You only need to install a few rune boards with ice magic effects in the thermal insulation wooden box, and the fresh fish In the frozen state for a long time, we can find the cheapest red copper rune board and draw the simplest frost magic on the rune board, and the frost magic can keep the temperature in the thermal insulation box below freezing."

Aliya stared at the pattern of the wooden box on the parchment paper, and drew the insulation compartment on it in detail, and then said: "The wooden box must be well sealed, and there must be a heat-insulating interlayer in the middle. The incubator will not lose temperature. This is like our icehouse in the north. We store ice cubes in an insulated ice room in winter, and those ice cubes will not melt in the midsummer of the coming year. This can save some metal Rune boards, reducing the production cost of wooden boxes."

"By the way, if this kind of wooden box is made, let's call it a refrigerator!" I suggested to Alia.

"Refrigerator?" Aliya raised her delicate eyebrows.

"Yes, we call it a refrigerator." I waved my hand and said.

This kind of idea is like a bean sprout in my heart, and then grows slowly. At this time, I have a special urge to make it, not for anything else, just for the "refrigerator" two words.

Speaking of this, I immediately regained some energy and said to Alia: "By the way, I can ask the Yerkes scholar to help me design an ice-type magic rune board that saves the most magic power... If you don't mention this, I almost forgot, we haven't been selling very good exhaust fans lately, have we?"

I think of the so-called magic-saving ice magic rune board, in fact, I want to add "energy-gathering magic pattern" to the rune board with the "frost" magic effect, and at the same time set the gem base on the magic rune board If the magic spar is removed, the consumption of magic crystals by the magic rune board should also be minimized. Afterwards, I thought of those exhaust fans. In fact, if I draw a picture of 'energy gathering' Magic pattern', it is likely that those exhaust fans will get rid of the trouble of consuming magic spar and changing magic spar frequently, but I have no way to explain this to Alia.

"Ah! But what does this have to do with the refrigerator we are discussing now? The business of the Runeboard Workshop is still pretty good." Aliya was a little unaccustomed to my jumping thinking, and she asked me.

Aliya then told me about the current status of the rune board workshop. Although the business is good, there are great hidden dangers. She said: "Recently Luke has been trying to persuade me to expand the rune board workshop. Ke is easily influenced by Bnanron. I am worried that once several large mithril mines in the Angela multiplane are taken back by the Imperial Construct Knights, the market for adamantine magic rune tablets will be impacted. , based on the current manufacturing process, the cost of the Mithril Rune Plate is 20.00% lower than that of the Gold Essence Rune Plate. Orders for text boards will be greatly reduced...or not at all."

I said to Alicia, "I want to say... Maybe I can get this market back."

"The market for exhaust fans?" Alicia asked me in surprise.

"That's right, I can ask the Yerkes scholar to design a magic rune board that saves mana, or I don't need to ask the inscriber to draw the magic circle on the rune board." I said to Alia, just these It needs to be completely established on the successful development of the magic engraving machine, otherwise this kind of exhaust fan will never be mass-produced.

Aliya asked me with an incredulous expression, "I don't need those inscription masters in the imperial capital!... Do you want to draw the magic pattern circle by yourself for all the metal rune plates?"

I rubbed my nose and said to her, "That's not true, maybe I can find a better way..."

As the text notes on the Hextech blueprint were translated bit by bit, Bernd and I finally figured it out, according to the text on the blueprint.

The most important punch on this magic engraving machine is made of the hardest krypton gold, and we need to carve the krypton gold into the shape of a punch. The huge box inside the punch needs to be hollowed out. Thirty-seven metal rune tablets made of adamantine.

The biggest function of these metal rune plates is to stably export mana and simulate the most stable mana. The goblin technician only needs to use a special brush to apply the mithril solution on the punch of the punch, and when the punch touches the metal plate, At that moment, the magic rune plate inside the punch instantly output magic power, engraving the magic circle on the ordinary metal plate.

This metal rune plate is a little different from the ordinary metal rune plates sold in the magic market. There may be a slight lack of magic effect, and the most important thing is to save manufacturing costs.

Both material cost and manufacturing cost are greatly reduced.

Let’s start with the cost of materials: Ordinary mithril rune plates are plated with a layer of mithril plating on ordinary metal plates. The biggest advantage of this blank mithril rune plate is that any magic spells drawn on the rune plate Skills are fine, but the rune plate produced by the magic engraving machine uses a punch to directly engrave magic lines on the ordinary rune plate, and the mithril solution on the punch will adhere to the magic lines on the metal plate. A metal rune plate, only those magic lines are made of Mithril, which can greatly reduce the cost of materials.

Then there is the cost of the inscriptions. For ordinary mithril rune plates, the inscription master is required to engrave the magic circle on it. The success rate of this method is less than half, and the inscription cost charged by the inscription master is also very high. The main reason why board prices have remained high.

If the magic engraving machine is successful, once the manufacturing cost of these simple elementary magic rune plates is reduced, we can easily regain the exhaust fan market.

And... once the price of the magic metal rune plate is lowered, what does it mean?
It means that the cost of many magic items will be greatly reduced. At that time, perhaps this kind of exhaust fan can enter the kitchen of ordinary families.

The magic caravan drove slowly up the mountain road, and I was sitting in the car, my thoughts were flying around along the countless lines intertwined in my mind. , I found that the implementation of all this depends entirely on whether the magic engraving machine can be successful.

At this time, I am looking forward to the magic engraving machine being made soon, because I hope to teach those inscribers in the imperial capital a lesson.
