my age of magic

Chapter 1141 244.22 desk lamps
The Inscription Society of the Royal Academy of Magic has always been dubbed by people in the magic circle as "the cradle for cultivating talented inscribers". From the beginning of the establishment of the Royal Academy of Magic to the present, the academy has produced many outstanding inscribers.

Although the Inscription Society of the Royal Academy of Magic is an old-fashioned society that has attracted much attention, I am quite surprised that the Inscription Society can get a place in this winter inscription exhibition, which makes me a little bit impressed.

I even felt that I underestimated the members of these inscription literature clubs before.

Speaking of which, my feud with Ivan, the vice president of the Inscription Literature Society, dates back to the beginning of last semester.

At that time, Yerkes scholars sought out magical assistants with expertise in inscriptions.

Someone recommended Ivan to the Yerkes scholar. The recommender also valued Ivan's solid basic skills in inscriptions at the time, but my appearance shattered senior Ivan's wish to be an assistant at the Imperial Academy of Magic.

I became the magical assistant of the Yerkes scholars, and I was ostracized by the Inscription Society of the Royal Academy of Magic because of this.

Later, I joined Lucia's 'Sword and Rose Society', the largest society at the Royal Academy of Magic.

It's a pity that the Sword and Rose Club was automatically disbanded at the beginning of the school year because of the departure of the core character Lucia.

Originally, Lucia wanted me to be the president of the current 'Sword and Rose Club'. When the club was disbanded, because Noah and I were trapped in the Vashj plane, we couldn't go back to the academy in time. The 'Society of Swords and Roses' is long gone.

I didn't expect Nick and Brennan to know Ivan. I was a little surprised to see Nick at the inscription exhibition.

In fact, Nick left the rune board workshop, and I can understand his feelings at that time. At that time, Mithril returned to the magic market, and it was doomed that the adamantine magic rune board had no market prospects. Of course, he chose a new way out. There is no problem, but I think out of politeness, he should at least say hello to me before leaving, let alone take away all the mechanics in the workshop.

Standing under a street lamp erected at the entrance of Exhibition Hall 38, I looked up curiously at this lamp post with an Atlantis style, with an umbrella-shaped canopy on the top of the lamp post, molded by moonstone powder The wick emits a cool white light, which is obviously much brighter than those emitted by lampposts on the street. At first I thought it was caused by the reflection of light from the silver foil on the inside of the lamp umbrella. Later, I found out that the inside of the lamp umbrella is plated. It's not silver foil, but a layer of mithril, which seems to be not entirely mithril.

Facing the light, I saw very shallow magic lines on the mithril coating, and I carefully distinguished whether the magic circle engraved on the inside of the lamp umbrella was the 'twilight lighting technique' or the 'light control technique'. '.

At this time, I heard Nick instructing the painters in the exhibition hall to be careful when painting the walls so as not to stain the marble floor, otherwise the work of cleaning the floor would be the responsibility of these painters.

My eyes then fell on Nick, who subconsciously turned his head to look towards the door, just in time to see me standing under the lamppost.

The moment he saw me, his face blushed slightly, he immediately avoided my eyes, and turned his eyes to look elsewhere, as if he was a little guilty and didn't dare to look at me.

The scene was a bit embarrassing, so I didn't stop at the entrance of the No. 38 exhibition hall, and walked to the next exhibition hall, but I was only thinking about the umbrella cover with the magic circle: Is this an energy-saving theme? street lights'?

As moonstone mines become less and less, wicks made of moonstone powder mixed with magic crystal fragments have become the mainstream trend of street lamps in recent years, but street lamps with moonstone materials as wicks are difficult to match. In terms of literature, it is estimated that only the magic circle on the umbrella was thought up by the students of these inscription literature clubs.

At this time, Aliya's figure appeared at the end of the corridor. She was wearing a moon-white long skirt with shark pattern, which outlined the plump and graceful curves. It is hard to imagine how her slender waist supported her proud upper body, 'V' The round neckline reveals a large area of ​​white and greasy skin on her chest, and her long golden hair is coiled up high, revealing a swan-like elegant snow-white neck. The cold and arrogant aristocratic temperament on her shows the coexistence of dignity and beauty. style.

She stood in the corridor with her arms folded, beckoning to me from a distance, and looking at me with a smile.

I ran over quickly, panting slightly, and asked her, "What's your order? Beautiful lady."

Alia pursed her lips and said to me, "It's very impolite to stand outside other exhibition halls at this time, and it will make people think that you are secretly imitating their ideas!"

"Would you mistakenly think that I was stealing their ideas for arranging the exhibition hall?" I said in surprise.

Aliya nodded slightly, smiled and said to me: "Of course, we are all competitors!"

In front of outsiders, Aliya and I will deliberately keep some distance.But Alia never forgets to tease me with her charming eyes all the time, but I can only pretend that I didn't see it and don't respond in any way.

The original things in the exhibition hall are being dismantled one by one. Betty directed a group of waiters to move all the chairs in the exhibition hall to the warehouse. The hall has become much more spacious. The original way of the inscriber standing on the podium to explain the design to everyone It was changed by Alia to a platform for free communication.Everyone stood in the exhibition hall, admiring the designs of Yerkes scholars while communicating freely.

The waiters moved in some very stylish mahogany furniture. The shiny coating on the furniture made them look very old. 22 desk lamps were placed on the furniture, and some of the furniture looked like a gorgeous room in a castle. In a corner, several painters are painting floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the wall, through which the beautiful night view of the imperial capital can be seen.

The other wall has been painted with a layer of white paint. There are six charcoal braziers in the room. Even if you are wearing a single shirt and shirtless, you will not feel cold. The main function of these braziers is to let the whitewashed walls The fuel on the bed dries up as soon as possible, and several painters are preparing the palette. Alia took out the sketches page by page, and explained to the painters tirelessly, asking them to understand what she wanted to paint. What.

The artistic atmosphere in the Green Empire is far less intense than that of the Silver Moon Elf's Buenos City. Some nobles will only wear exquisite dresses when they are promoted to the title of knighthood, and ask the painter to draw a portrait of themselves and hang it on the on the corridor wall.They prefer to buy oil paintings that have become works of art, rather than buy a worthless oil painting and wait for them to increase in value. There are many ways to make their wallets bulge, and buying paintings is definitely not a good way.

The painters cherish this rare opportunity to make money, and they are full of enthusiasm to paint on the walls and floors.

The exhibition hall arranged by Alia has begun to show results. 22 copper table lamps are hidden in every corner of the No. 49 exhibition hall. There is a feeling of playing hide-and-seek with visitors. The ancient castles are integrated together, making people feel like they are in a huge palace.

Alia and I stayed up all night with these painters in the exhibition hall. The Yerkes scholar arrived in the morning. When the sky was slightly bright, he got out of bed and rushed to the headquarters of the Inscription Union in a magic caravan. Here, when he walked into the No. 49 exhibition hall, he looked at the layout of the exhibition hall in shock.

After everything was arranged, Aliya stood in the exhibition hall and stretched her waist, and ordered Betty to dismiss the painters, take the waiters in the manor, and leave the headquarters building of the Inscription Union before dawn. I sent her to the magic caravan on the street and said to her, "Go back and have a good sleep."

Arya boarded the magic caravan, opened the window and waved to me.

And I could only rub my sore eyes, yawn, and watch the magic caravan drift away on the snowy street.

At this moment, the sun shone so brightly from the snow-capped Majaro peak that I couldn't help squinting my eyes.

Yingli knew that I would be busy with Yerkes Scholars' inscription exhibition these two days, so she lent me her magic caravan. The magic caravan has been parked on the side of the street. Tower of Pride Square walked up to me, shook the paper bag in front of me, and said to me, "Let's get rid of the food first, and sleep in the magic caravan for a while before the inscription exhibition begins."

……

The messy footsteps and voices outside the carriage woke me up from my sleep.

The leather boots made a characteristic 'creak' sound when they stepped on the snow, and some people were talking about some excellent inscription designs at the exhibition in the past two days.

The carriage was as warm as spring, and she picked up the blanket that slipped off the soft leather sofa and covered Katerina's body. She lay lazily on the sofa, looked at me with eyes as beautiful as rubies, and stretched out her white arms to hook me. Holding my neck, I leaned over and pinched her fair and tender face, and said to her softly: "You can sleep a little longer, I'll go see how Yerkes is getting ready."

Katerina nodded slightly, and I leaned over and kissed her fair forehead, then put on my magic robe, opened the carriage door and jumped out of the magic caravan lightly.

The air outside is fresh and cold, and the cold north wind wakes me up completely. Feeling the strong water element in winter, I feel that I am omnipotent at this time.

The third day of the inscription exhibition officially began. The entrance of the headquarters of the Inscription Union was crowded with people. Some magicians and nobles poured into the exhibition hall from the entrance. I was standing at the entrance and I happened to see Nick standing on the steps of the entrance. It looked as if he had come out to breathe, his eyes were bloodshot red, and he hadn't slept all night, making him look tired beyond concealment.

He didn't expect to see me at the door, and subconsciously saluted me slightly, his words were stuck in his throat, as if someone had suddenly pinched his throat, and he held it back all of a sudden, I raised my head and looked at him With a slightly embarrassed face, he greeted him and asked him lightly: "How are you doing recently?"

"It's not bad!" Nick looked a little embarrassed.

"You know Ivan?" I stood shoulder to shoulder with him on the steps, looking across the street at the free market under the Tower of Pride.

He was a little flustered, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "His Highness Little Charlie opened a magic workshop in the imperial capital, and asked me to be the manager in the past. Magician Ivan and Magician Diego are friends of His Highness Little Charlie." , Your Highness Little Charlie heard that they were participating in the winter inscription exhibition, so he asked me to come and help!"

His Royal Highness Little Charlie in Nick's mouth is not Prince Charlie, the first in line heir to the Green Empire, but the most beloved son of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charlie. A member of the royal family.

At this time, a familiar figure squeezed out from the crowd of the Inscription Union Headquarters building. Brennan walked out of the building without noticing me, and said loudly to Nick, "Nick, so you are here, little Charlie!" There are still a lot of things waiting for us to rush over to the workshop next to it, so we have to rush back now... Ugh!"

At this time, Brennan suddenly saw me, and he held back the words he was about to blurt out. He looked at me vigilantly, and looked at Nick questioningly, but he didn't speak to me.

I felt that Brennan stood in front of me, looking a little guilty. Since everyone was so uncomfortable standing together, I gave him a half-smile, passed him directly, and walked into the headquarters building of the Inscription Union with the flow of people. in the showroom.

When passing through the hall on the first floor, I saw the magic pattern structures displayed in the glass case, surrounded by inscribers wearing magic robes, they almost put their faces on the glass case, carefully observing While looking at the magic pattern circles on each piece of 'Magic Serpent's Fang', they are discussing with each other. It seems that Yerkes Scholar's enhanced version of the 'Elementary Agile Magic Pattern Construction' has brought a lot to the inscriber. Big hit.

I thought to myself: In fact, they just don't know the accompanying magic pattern of 'reducing demand', otherwise the doubts in their hearts will be solved easily.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, I happened to see some noble lords gathered at the entrance of the No. 38 exhibition hall where the Inscription Literature Society is located. At this time, I saw Ivan and Diego just standing under the lamppost at the entrance of the exhibition hall, I introduced the street lamp to several noble figures, so I also stopped outside and listened to them explain the design concept of this street lamp.

After listening to a few words, I gradually understood that, as Shirley Newman said, the design concept given by Ivan and Diego to this street light is 'energy saving'.

The wick of this street lamp is made of moonstone powder, but the proportion of moonstone powder mixed in is reduced, and the number of magic crystal fragments is increased. This greatly reduces the consumption of moonstone, and the problem that follows is the brightness of this street lamp. Insufficient, so these magic students of the Inscription Literature Society added the magic pattern circle of the 'Royal Light' on the umbrella-shaped lamp cap, and added a gem base on the top of the umbrella cover, and placed a magic crystal on it Stone fragments, in this way, have the brightness of the street lamps with the 'Royal Light Art', which is just better than the street lamps with traditional moonstone wicks.

Although the design of the magic students in the Inscription Literature Club reduces the consumption of moonstones in each street lamp, the problem that follows is that the consumption of magic spar fragments is increased. Planting street lights did not save anything.

So the noble lord who stood in front of Ivan and listened to Ivan explain the functions of street lamps to him in detail, finally said to Ivan: "If I have plans to build a new town, I will definitely consider the street lamps you designed, but according to your I don't think it's necessary to replace the streetlights in the existing towns..."
