my age of magic

Chapter 1150 253. Looking for the displaced orcs

The yard behind the grocery store was messy and crowded. Marvin invited us inside the grocery store, and Spei hurried to the kitchen to make tea for us.

The best-selling items in this magic grocery store are still magic scrolls. These magic scrolls were bought by Marvin from the magic apprentices in the magic academy. The established strategy encourages and subsidizes the magic apprentices in the magic academy to draw the simplest magic scrolls.

In El City, the most useful two-week magic scrolls are the 'Water Gathering Circle' and 'Fire Gathering' magic scrolls.

In the past few years, Marvin, who was promoted to a magician, has been studying these two elementary magic scrolls in depth. He also wrote a book called "Illustration" for these two elementary magic pattern circles. How to draw the 'Fire Gathering' magic pattern circle, what things need to be paid attention to during the drawing process, and so on.

Spei, on the other hand, has been running this ice shop called 'Red Bean Ice' with great care. This ice shop is very popular in summer.

Sitting on the sofa in the rest area of ​​the magic grocery store, Marvin put his arms around Spei's shoulders and said to me: "We are like this now, getting married or not is just a formality, is there any difference?"

I took a sneak peek at Si Pei, and there was a faint expectation in her eyes. It seemed that she still wanted Marvin to give her a wedding.

So I said to Marvin: "After all, there must be a ceremony!"

Staring into Ma Wen's eyes, I continued to say to him: "Don't forget, who rescued you from the tiger's mouth, who took care of you so meticulously in Xinliu Valley, and who was silently by your side all the time. for many years."

Marvin became a little dazed for a while, and said, "I know, I have all these in mind."

Si Pei quietly sat next to Marvin, her eyes flicked over Katerina, Yingli, Helena and Becky from time to time, looking enviously at Helena wearing the delicate thorntail crystal lion leather armor.

Ying Li smiled softly at Si Pei, and said, "Jijia and I came back from the imperial capital in a hurry this time, and we were a little hasty when we prepared the small gifts."

As he spoke, Yingli nodded slightly to Helena, motioning for her to take out the gift she had prepared. Yingli came to El City this time, not only bringing a gift to everyone in my family, even me My friends were not left behind.

Because of the "soul link" magic contract between Helena and Ying Li, they share the same mind, and Ying Li didn't need to say anything specific, so he took out some large and small boxes from the magic pocket and placed them on the tea table. on the table.

Si Pei looked at the table full of gifts in surprise, and asked Yingli with a smile: "This is a gift for Marvin and me? Can I open them?"

"Of course." Ying Li said with a smile.

The gifts prepared by Yingli are not very expensive, but each one is full of the characteristics of the imperial capital, from the silk dress to the exquisite headgear, it seems that each one is full of the hearts of Yingli and me. Every box, there will be Spei's exclamation, it seems that she likes every gift very much.

Ma Wen told me that he opened a branch of the grocery store in Xinghai City. This autumn, the 'Frost' scrolls sold very well in Xinghai City. Many fish merchants bought the Frost Scrolls and shipped the frozen sea fish to Sloy Every city in Special Province allows residents in inland cities to taste fresh sea fish, so many fish merchants have made some money.

The fish merchants who have tasted the sweetness plan to do several big deals after opening the sea in spring.

Marvin, who graduated from the Academy of War Magic, although he did not have much attainment in magic, he already had the self-confidence of a successful person. He clearly knew that he might not be able to become a famous man in the future. If you are a magician, you will be a magic merchant without hesitation.

I patted Marvin on the shoulder. The prosthesis in Orianna's magic shop was very delicate, and there was only a slight seam on his shoulder.

I said to Marvin: "By the way, Marvin, do you want to go to the imperial capital with me?"

"Okay, but... what can I do there?" Marvin lowered his head, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

I said to him: "Show your magic groceries to the imperial capital, I have a rune board workshop over there, I can provide you with some good sources, I have a lot of new ideas, but unfortunately I don't know how to deal with these things." I don’t have time to do it. I want you to go to the imperial capital and open up some situations for these products in the imperial capital.”

Marvin asked me curiously: "What are these things?"

I took out three magic items one after another from the magic pocket, namely copper hot pot, exhaust fan and refrigerator.

I pointed to the copper hot pot at my feet and said, "This...we call it a copper hot pot. It can be used for cooking meat and keeping warm. The principle is the fire-gathering spell rune board at the bottom of the pot... It is very popular in the imperial capital at present. I brought back a lot of this thing, you can also try it in the magic grocery store to see if it is also popular in El City?"

As I said that, I wanted to take out a piece of magic spar from the magic pocket. When I stretched my hand to my waist, I remembered that I gave the purse to Liont last night.

At this time, I heard Marvin say: "Isn't this the stove in the imperial capital? I know it. Do you call it a copper hot pot?"

He quickly took out a piece of magic spar, squatted down next to the copper hot pot, and installed the magic spar on the magic rune board. When he saw the cyan flame emerging from the rune board, he looked up at me. He smiled and said: "To be honest, I occasionally think of the shabu-shabu I ate when I was exploring in Xinliu Valley. Thinking of the special spicy sauce, I feel like my mouth is watering."

I conveniently poured a pot of tea into the copper hot pot to prevent it from burning dry.

Then I asked Marvin, "Do you think this type of stove is sold in El City?"

Marvin thought for a while, and then said: "The nobles in El City can't compare with the dignitaries in the imperial capital, and they don't have the kind of arrogance to spend a lot of money. Whether this thing can be sold here depends mainly on It depends on how much the price is set, if the price is reasonable, the sales will be very good, after all, the nobles of the entire Green Empire are trying to imitate the life in the imperial capital."

I said to Marvin: "The price of this copper hot pot is only about one-third of the price of the Gathering Fire Rune Plate sold on the market."

Marvin said to me in surprise: "It's so cheap, so where is its profit point?"

I explained to Marvin: "The rune board it uses is different from ordinary rune boards. After all, the cost of this kind of rune board is very low."

Afterwards, Marvin looked at the exhaust fan made of a simple wooden box placed in front of my feet, and said, "Is this an exhaust fan? We also have it here, but the style and texture are better than yours." Look good, this one of yours is a square box, I have seen marble polished ones in other magic shops, and metal casings, all of which are very beautifully made. In terms of appearance alone, it is better than yours."

The refrigerator placed next to the exhaust fan is also very simple, and it looks like a wooden box from the outside.

Marvin asked me, "What is this?"

I said, "Refrigerator."

Marvin looked around the refrigerator and asked again, "What's the use of this thing? Is it used to make ice?"

I shook my head and said to Marvin, "This thing can't make ice, but it can preserve food."

Marvin blinked his eyes, and it took him a long time to realize that this wooden box relies on the ice in the box to keep the food fresh, but it happened to be severe winter at this time, so Marvin was not that interested in this thing, and complained to me: "What's the use of this thing? Don't you think we're not cold enough here?"

However, at this moment, Spei asked me, "If you put ice cubes and smoothies in here in summer, won't they melt?"

I said, "Of course!"

Si Pei opened the lid of the refrigerator, looked inside, and then said: "Then this design is very good!"

Spei opened a red bean smoothie shop next to the magic grocery store, and was very interested in this kind of refrigerator that can keep the ice from melting in summer. When we were talking about this, the door of the grocery store was blocked by someone. Pushing away from the outside, Bobby walked in with a chubby belly and shouted loudly: "Jijia, are you back?"

Bobby was wearing a gorgeous fox fur coat and an aristocratic costume inside. He walked in from the store door with great momentum. I haven't seen him for a year. His figure has obviously gained weight again, and he has grown a lot. The body is full of nouveau riche breath.

I sat on the sofa and reached out to greet him.

After graduating from the Junior Magic Academy, Bobby inherited his father's business and gradually took over the family's slave business in El City. Bobby is very business-minded and has a keen sense of the slave market. It is said that he took over the family business Very well cared for.

It is rare for us friends to get together, so we naturally have a lot to talk about. Ying Li is also very familiar with Bobby, so we chatted very happily.

Later, Bobby told me about the three spider warriors I gave him. Unexpectedly, the spider warriors had such thick armor, but they couldn't adapt to the severe cold in the north. They all died soon after arriving in El City. so cold.Now Bobby can only make three spider-man sculptures. The Nebulu spider-man warrior has a ferocious face and is placed at the gate of the slave market, which seems to be able to shock many people at once.

Some people who came to the slave market for the first time would subconsciously think that these spider warriors were hunted by the slave owners in the slave market. No matter who can hunt and kill such a huge spider warrior, they should be respected. So many people thought that this very powerful demon hunter was stationed in the slave market, so there were very few people making trouble in the slave market recently.

"You told me in the letter that you want me to help you pay attention to the orc slaves in the underground slave market in the northern province, and you want me to pay for the resettlement of the orc wanderers who wandered from the Pai Plateau to the northern border. You've done it for me, let me be placed in a slave camp, why are you looking for these orcs?" Bobby asked me.

"I plan to organize an army of orc warriors to hunt down the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra on the outskirts of El City." I said to Bobby.

When Bobby heard what I said, his eyes widened immediately, and he asked me, "Build an army? Ji Jia, have you made a fortune in the imperial capital?"

It seems that Bobby knows that building an army requires huge resources, so he couldn't help but ask me.

I nodded and said: "When I was in the imperial capital, I gained a lot from the two outings. I made an agreement with a duke to build a small town on its territory within two years. If the town is built, that area will become my territory, since a small town is going to be built, not only must some facilities in the town be fully prepared, but the security of the town is also a big problem."

"So you thought of those orcs?" Bobby asked me with his eyes widened.

I nodded in acknowledgment.

"If you choose to build a small town on the plane at this time, you are not afraid that everything you have will come to naught under the reversal of the war between the planes?" Bobby then asked me.

I smiled and said to Bobby: "You have to show some courage and take a gamble. If you win, you will have everything. If you lose, you will have to do it all over again."

Hearing what I said, Bobby could only nod his head helplessly, and then said, "Okay, when will you go with me to see those orcs in the resettlement camp?"

I got up off the couch and said to Bobby, "Now!"

Bobby didn't expect me to be so eager to see those orcs, and sat in a chair with a look of astonishment on his face. After he walked into the magic general store, he didn't even have time to drink a glass of water.

In this way, Bobby took us to the slave camp next to the slave market in El City.

In the magic caravan, Bobby leaned on the sofa in the corner and said to me: "To be honest, those orcs are really smelly and hard-tempered, and they are extremely rude and difficult to manage. More importantly, they are not slaves. , we have no way to whip them. There are many well-trained war slaves in my slave camp. They are all human slaves with a little bit of orc blood. They are young, strong, and they have signed slave contracts. They are very reliable .”

Bobby then suggested to me: "Otherwise, you can hire one or two mercenary groups at the mercenary guild in El City, take them to your plane, and let them help you guard the town. Although the cost is high, once the town is invaded and the mercenary group is downsized, you won't have any losses."

I shook my head and said, "Forget it, let's take a look at those orcs first."

Bobby spread his hands, shrugged and said, "Up to you!"

The magic caravan drove into the slave market in El City. At this time, I saw two statues of spider warriors placed at the gate of the slave market. The powerful fighters from the dark forces in the abyss unexpectedly filled the entrance of the slave market with people.
