my age of magic

Chapter 1142. 245. Magic Merchants and Ladies
A group of noble lords and magic merchants gathered in front of exhibition hall 38. Ivan stood among them and kept talking about new ideas about energy saving of street lamps. It just seemed that the surrounding lords and magic merchants didn't buy it very much.

"How can this kind of luxurious street lamp with mithril plated on the canopy stand on the street? Don't you worry that the mithril under the canopy will be scraped off by the homeless on the street overnight with a knife? "The two noble lords behind the crowd were discussing in low voices.

Although their voices were very soft, the words fell into my ears verbatim.

Another noble lord was silent for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Perhaps this kind of street lamp should be erected on the lawn of his own manor!"

The previous aristocratic lord wiped the money bag at his waist twice before saying: "Although the price of magic spar has been falling, there is no need to spend magic spar on street lamps! I think it can It is already a luxury to burn whale oil, and whale oil is still very fragrant, so the cost should be cheaper than magic spar."

The nobleman who spoke behind couldn't help reminding him, saying: "Please pay attention to the way you speak, Mike! You are now a nobleman with status, don't always hang words like gold coins and magic spar on On the edge of your mouth, think about it, do magic street lamps look more stylish than ordinary street lamps, you must improve your taste as soon as possible, don't always make yourself the same as those nouveau riche!"

The noble lord in front said nonchalantly: "I'm an upstart in the war of planes, what's there to hide!"

The aristocratic lord who was speaking behind hurriedly grabbed his skirt and stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, but faced with the burly friend, there was nothing he could do. The previous aristocratic lord said like a cannonball: "I will bring this subordinate The knights felled those Nacoma people and kept the city of Meneado. There is nothing to say about such a glorious deed, but I don’t plan to take out those black magic crystals in my hand and buy these fancy street lamps. The most important thing is the magic pattern structure, so that the knights under him can defeat the magic pattern structure of the Nacoma people."

"Well, whatever you want!" The noble lord behind felt that he couldn't stop him, so he could only give up in the end, patted his arm, and said in a low voice: "Since you don't think this place is interesting, let's go to the next exhibition hall Take a look, maybe the next showroom will be able to see something interesting."

The two lords chatted and walked to the next exhibition hall.

……

Agnes stepped out from the crowd behind me with her hands in her trouser pockets, and stood shoulder to shoulder with me.

"Hi, Iger! Did you also come to see the inscription exhibition?" Seeing Iger, I greeted him.

Iger and I met when we announced the production method of the fish skin hood. As a civil servant of the Magic Guild, he did some coordination and communication work. Iger helped me a lot when I was in the lecture hall.

Looking at the street lamp exuding a cold glow at the entrance of the exhibition hall, Iger smiled at me and said to me: "The lords are not very willing to buy the street lamp designed by the Inscription Literature Society!"

He thought that since I was a magic student at the Royal Academy of Magic, I must be a member of the Inscription Society, so he said that.

"In the final analysis, after the outbreak of the plane war, there are fewer and fewer lords with stupid people and rich money!" I pursed my lips, stared at the noble lords gathered around Ivan, and said to Iger.

After listening to Ivan's description of the function of the street lamp, the magic merchants who were in the crowd looking for business opportunities left the crowd one after another. They were like a group of sharks swimming in the sea, and began to look for the next prey.

Iger stood beside me, looked at me with some surprises and said: "Maybe they don't like this kind of street lamp that consumes both moonstone and magic spar. I thought you would come up with another kind of magic spar with life." slapped the Magic Guild hard on the face."

I smiled and said to him: "To be honest, maybe you don't believe me, until now I don't know what the life magic pattern in the murloc leather looks like!"

Iger said to me: "Not only do I not believe your statement, but I am afraid that all the inscribers in the imperial capital will not believe it."

After finishing speaking, he patted my shoulder, put his head close to my ear, and whispered to me: "Recently, some inscription masters in the imperial capital have been targeting you behind your back, and they have done something that is not good for you. Things, you'd better be careful."

I smiled slightly and said to Iger, "Tomorrow I will go to the northern border province, and I will not come back until the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. By then, maybe everything will be over."

Iger patted me on the shoulder and said to me: "Then I'm here to say 'Best voyage to you'!"

……

When I returned to exhibition hall 49, I found that there were many people crowded here. These people were admiring the huge paintings of the painters on the walls, and at the same time admiring the antique furniture with a sense of age in the exhibition hall. What kind of works are being displayed in the hall? Some people speculate that the paintings and antique furniture in the entire exhibition hall are fused together. This is a kind of magic bestowed by the upper class of the imperial capital.

There must be magic inscriptions hidden in those paintings, so that the scenery in the painting and the scenery in the hall can be perfectly integrated.

On the coffee table in the dark room, there is a copper lamp, a bouquet of flowers, a plate of fruit, and a transparent crystal glass, forming a beautiful picture scroll.

In this exhibition hall, in the eyes of the noble lords, there are always some new discoveries all the time, even without the Yerkes scholar standing by to explain, everyone who enters the exhibition hall seems to have a different experience.

The Yerkes scholar stood in the exhibition hall, leaned on the bookshelf, held a goblet in his hand, looked at the exhibition hall with satisfaction, and praised: "Professionals are professionals after all, so it turns out that the exhibition hall So tastefully designed, the only fly in the ointment is that Aaliyah should have kept at least two chairs, she didn't want the two of us standing here all day!"

Seeing me coming, Yerkes took out a goblet from the shelf and poured me a glass of wine. The two of us stood in the exhibition hall, drinking golden cider, talking softly, but no one asked What exactly is this showroom showing.

"Ah! I see, the desk lamp here is a magic item." A lady in a long dress covered her mouth with a feathered fan, and stared at a copper desk lamp of an elf statue with a hint of surprise. said.On the copper table lamp of the elf statue, there happened to be a night elf leaning against a giant tree in the Evernight Forest, holding a huge trumpet flower in his hand. The flower center of the trumpet flower was the wick, and soft light was emitted from the wick Come.

The thin voice was a bit sharp, and I thought she might be a soprano in an opera house.

The sharp voice attracted many female companions to watch, and some people exclaimed: "What a delicate lamp this is!"

The shrill voice said again: "It would be nice to have such a beautiful lamp on the cabinet next to my bed."

There seemed to be a sour female voice beside him who said: "Are you afraid that in the dark, because you can't see the face of the lover clearly, you will call the wrong name of the lover?"

I didn't think about eavesdropping, but they chatted too loudly, and it was impossible for me to cover my ears.

The sharp voice immediately counterattacked tit-for-tat: "I just want to see their muscles as hard and strong as marble, but Janet, you don't have to, those old guys lying on your bed, pick one at random It's always wrinkled, like a blooming chrysanthemum, it's unappetizing, it's better to be in the dark, and let yourself have some room for reverie."

The female companion next to him quickly said: "Hey, ladies and wives, we are here to participate in the inscription exhibition, if you want to quarrel, please go home and then quarrel, don't be ashamed here."

Such a group of aristocratic wives got together and talked non-stop, and someone said: "Dear Maggie, since you like the desk lamp here, why don't you ask the owner here if he would like to sell the copper lamp?" How about selling a high-quality table lamp to you?"

That sharp voice also said to himself: "That's right, why didn't I ask?"

At this time, the Yerkes scholar walked up from one side, posing as a gentleman, and coughed slightly when he approached them: "Ahem! Ladies, is there anything I can help you with?"

The group of ladies quickly surrounded the Yerkes scholar. The lady holding a round fan stared at the Yerkes scholar with big round eyes and said with a smile: "You are the master here? Your Excellency the magician .”

The Yerkes scholar straightened out his thin chest, stood up energetically, and introduced himself to the ladies, "Please call me Yerkes, I am the creator of these copper magic lamps."

I sighed silently, maybe Mrs. Cecilia has been away for too long, the male hormones in his body are too strong, and Eve can't control him.

……

The reputation of the Yerkes scholar is now known to many people in the circle of inscribers.

Maybe not many people have seen the Yerkes scholar, but there must be many who have heard of his name. At this time, when the surrounding visitors heard the name of the Yerkes scholar, it immediately caused a small commotion , People around who heard him speak gathered in succession.

Someone on the side whispered: "... Yerkes Scholar, he really is a Yerkes Scholar..."

Another person said: "You mean he is the designer of the 'Magic Serpent's Fang', 'Giant Bear's Power' and 'Earth Shield' magic pattern construction set?"

The person before looked at the latter like an idiot, and said, "If it wasn't him, who else would it be?"

……

The noble lady with a round fan in her hand and a sharp voice, known as Maggie, approached the Yerkes scholar, carefully looked up and down the Yerkes scholar, with surprise in her eyes, and whispered to the Yerkes scholar. He said softly, "Your Excellency Yerkes, I like the lamp of this elf statue, can you sell it to me?"

She moved the round fan in her hand away from her face. That face was quite delicate, and it was usually well maintained, with delicate and fair skin.

The Yerkes scholar's eyes fell on the white and greasy skin, and he didn't move away. He said with a smile: "Before you buy this desk lamp, please allow me to introduce my work to you, so that maybe you After buying this desk lamp, I will feel that it is more worthwhile."

Ms. Maggie looked at the Yerkes scholar with flickering eyes and said, "Okay, I hope you can bring us some surprises."

The Yerkes scholar put his fist to his mouth, cleared his throat, and then pretended to be deep and said: "This elf sculpture lamp is one of the 22 statue lamps, and there are other race figures in this exhibition hall The desk lamps of the statue, these desk lamps are not the kind of desk lamps that use moonstone wicks to emit light that we usually see. The reason why they can emit soft warm light is because the wick is a magic rune board, and the rune board is engraved with 'Twilight Illumination' magweave circles, these are magical glows."

Ms. Maggie squinted her eyes, with a smug smile on the corners of her mouth, and said softly: "This kind of magic light really makes people feel very warm. It turns out that this kind of light is called warm light. It sounds really good. If it can be used in the bedroom Putting a table lamp like this in the room will probably bring a little warmth to the room in the cold winter."

The reflection of the copper desk lamp was reflected in her clear pupils.

I feel that she has no intention of paying at all. When she looked at the Yerkes scholar, her eyes were full of confidence and lust, like a spider queen staring at her prey on a spider web.

……

Just when I was worried that the Yerkes scholar would become the prey of Ms. Maggie's net, many magic merchants and noble lords gathered around the Yerkes scholar. One came together.

A magic merchant in the crowd asked the Yerkes scholar: "Yerkes scholar, since you said that your magic table lamp also uses a magic rune board, where is its gemstone base set? Is it convenient to use crystal fragments, and I also want to know how much mana is consumed by this desk lamp, and how long can a fragment of magic crystal keep it on?"

Scholar Yerkes saw that someone asked him a question, so he put the wine glass aside and explained patiently: "In fact, it is a very energy-efficient magic desk lamp. It only needs a little magic power to light up the rune board Get up, and then the magic rune plate of the wick will automatically absorb a little magic power from the surrounding air and continue to glow, because the magic energy it consumes is too low, so this desk lamp does not need any magic spar fragments.”

The surrounding magic merchants immediately exclaimed in unison: "Ah! There is no need to consume magic spar magic rune boards?"

The Yerkes scholar quickly corrected their statement and said to them: "Please note that this desk lamp does not consume mana, but it consumes very little mana."

The magic merchant who asked the question at the beginning asked again: "How long will it take to go out and replenish the magic power?"

The magic merchant's questions were so well paced that Ms. Maggie couldn't get in.

The Yerkes scholar scratched his head, pondered for a while, and then said: "Theoretically, as long as it is not damaged and is not placed in a forbidden space, then it will always be on."

The Yerkes scholar said this, which immediately aroused the interest of many magic merchants, and some people rushed to ask: "Is this lamp really as magical as you said?"

Scholar Yerkes didn't have a good face towards the chatterers, and said directly: "If you don't believe me, you can buy one and put it in the room to observe for yourself. I will promise you that if the desk lamp goes out without damage, Then I will pay you ten times the price."

The talkative magic businessman laughed, followed Yerkes scholar's words, and continued: "I don't need you to pay me back the magic spar, if it's as you said, I will buy one back of course, but just in case If the lights go out not long after I bought it back, I just hope you will accept one of my orders."

Yerkes asked him blankly, "What order?"

The magic merchant smiled and said, "I hope to order the 'Power of the Giant Bear' magic pattern construct in your hand at the market price!"

Yerkes still had great confidence in this magic desk lamp, so he patted his chest and said, "I can promise you, but I have to remind you, don't expect too much about it, this kind of situation basically won't happen. "

The magic merchant took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and flatteringly said to the Yerkes scholar, "It's better to have hope than nothing!"

At this moment, the magic merchants next to them shouted like a frying pan:

"I want to buy one!"

"I want one too!"

"I want……"

The ladies in the crowd were suddenly surprised to find that the 22 copper desk lamps were snapped up by those vile magic merchants...
