Chapter 1191 295. Rune Plate Workshop

Just when the northern border was still covered with heavy snow, the imperial capital already had the breath of early spring.

The night wind is still slightly cool, and the air is filled with the fragrance of green grass and soil.

Several heavy snowfalls in the winter of the imperial capital made the residents of the imperial capital experience an unprecedented severe winter, but the southeast trade wind from the endless sea has already blown to Mount Majaro.

In almost half a month, the ice and snow all over the city melted, and the earth was revived with vitality.

Alia and I came to the rune plate workshop in the seventh block in a magic caravan.

I thought it was so late, there would be no one else in the workshop except the night watchman, but when the magic caravan drove into the street outside the workshop gate, the rune boarder could be seen from a distance The square is brightly lit.

Several large magic caravans lined up at the entrance of the workshop, and the coachmen gathered under the street lamp at the entrance of the workshop, wearing woolen sheepskin coats, chatting together with pipes in their hands.

Murray stood at the entrance of the workshop and directed the workers to move the copper plates into the workshop. The emblems of North Duisburg were all printed on the bodies of these large magic caravans.

Betty pushed open the glass window of the carriage, looked outside for a while, then turned to Alia and me and said, "It's a carriage transporting thin copper plates in North Duisburg."

Mrs. Alia sat beside me and said to me: "This guy Murray paid almost all the income from the copper hot pot as purchase money to North Duisburg, and the purchased copper plates are almost full of workers. All the workshops in the workshop, if you don't come back, this guy probably won't even be able to pay the workers' wages this month."

I didn't expect that Murray would carry out the arrangement before I left so thoroughly, I smiled: "Murray is really courageous enough, so this winter, copper hotpot's income is not bad?"

Alicia's eyes fell on Murray who was instructing the workers to unload the thin copper plates outside the window, and said to me: "It's more than good. If it wasn't for limited marketing, it is estimated that the copper hot pots in stock at the rune plate workshop will be sold after you leave." They will all be sold out within half a month, and every day, shopkeepers from magic shops block Murray from the workshop, asking him to make another batch of copper hot pots."

Even though I knew that the market here in the imperial capital could completely eat up the copper hot pot I left in the imperial capital before returning to the northern border, I still waved my fist happily when I heard Alia confirming this fact.

I smiled excitedly and said: "It seems that the market advantage of our copper hot pot is quite large!"

The magic caravan stopped at the gate of the rune board workshop. Murray, who was standing at the gate of the workshop, saw Alia and I got out of the carriage, and immediately ran to us. Murray said to me with bright eyes: " Boss, you are finally back."

Murray handed over the work at hand to the little boss in the workshop, and invited Alia, Katerina, and Betty and I into the Rune Plate Workshop.

Only then did I see how many thin copper plates Murray had bought recently. There were thin copper plates piled up in the yard of the Rune Plate Workshop, probably because they were worried that the copper plates would rust. These thin copper plates were covered with canvas, almost occupying Fill all the space in the yard.

Murray kept rubbing his hands, and said to me: "The workshop stores the giant crossbow arrows forged in North Duisburg. Now that the plane war is in full swing, these giant crossbow arrows are in high demand no matter where they are. I It’s also a quota that I grabbed from the manager of North Duisburg, but I didn’t expect their production capacity to be so large, boss, if you don’t come back, I really can’t bear it.”

Murray led us into the workshop. The workshop was full of large wooden boxes one meter square, and almost every wooden box was neatly lined with exquisite giant crossbow arrows. I knew that such a wooden box could hold about a year without counting. A hundred giant crossbow arrowheads, Earl Donald's order for a thousand giant crossbow arrowheads is only ten boxes at most.

And now in the huge rune workshop, these wooden boxes are stacked together, and it is estimated that there are at least several hundred boxes.

Aliya doesn't seem to come to the Rune Slab Workshop very often, and she was shocked to see the huge inventory here.

She asked Murray: "How can there be so many giant crossbow arrows? Where did you get the money?"

Murray looked very afraid of Alia, and he was very careful in every word: "The arrows of these giant crossbows were bought after I sold the copper hot pot. Fort has paid some deposit in advance."

Alicia pinched her waist with one hand, and asked Murray curiously: "Earl Robert is brave enough to give you so many thin copper plates on credit. Tell me, how did you convince the manager Goss?"

Murray led us up to the passageway on the second floor of the workshop. From here, we can look down on the workshop and have a panoramic view of everything in the workshop. It seems that I estimated that there are only a few hundred wooden boxes before, and I was too conservative.

From here, it can be seen that there are at least thousands of large wooden boxes containing giant crossbow arrows.

Murray held on to the railing, looked at the large wooden box in the workshop, and said with a satisfied face: "In North Duisburg, only the forging area for making giant crossbow arrows is very busy in winter, and the production tasks of other workshops are not too full. I found that even if their furnace does not smelt copper water, the furnace still cannot stop running. Once the fire stops and the remaining copper water in the furnace solidifies, then the furnace will be considered useless."

"So I went to Mr. Goss and ordered [-] thin copper plates from him. I told him that I can only pay a small deposit for the [-] thin copper plates. Please give us some time when they complete other orders. To produce these thin copper plates, so that North Duisburg can share some production costs and avoid excessive waste of coke and flux in the furnace, Mr. Goss agreed to let me meet the boss of North Duisburg, Count Robert.”

Alicia said to him: "This is how you persuaded Earl Robert?"

Murray shook his head and said: "At the beginning, he was a little hesitant, but I told him that my boss is the magician Ji Jia, and Earl Robert had no doubts anymore, and signed a contract of [-] thin copper plates. order, and I grabbed more quotas for giant crossbow arrows from North Duisburg."

"..."

What can i say?
In fact, Xinliu Valley's Magic Seal Workshop urgently needs these thin copper plates and giant crossbow arrows to resume production. I just didn't expect Murray to be so decisive. The funds ordered nearly a thousand magic spar thin copper plates.

Murray reported to me: "Boss, a total of 31 boxes of giant crossbow arrows are stored in this factory building, and a total of more than 4000 gold coins have been spent. There are [-] thin copper plates in the yard outside, and about that much more will be spent." gold."

I thought that when I returned to the imperial capital from Tanton City, the female dwarf craftsman at the magic seal workshop was still urging me to solve the problem of the blanks as soon as possible. I didn't expect Murray to hoard so much.

So I said to Murray: "Good job, I will ask Katerina to bring you the gold coins later, I will transport some of these thin copper plates and giant crossbow arrows tonight, and I will arrange manual loading here, you should go early Go back and rest, don't worry about this side."

Murray tactfully agreed, "Okay, now I can finally sleep soundly. There are so many copper plates and giant crossbow arrows stored here in the workshop. I can't sleep soundly at night."

But then he said to me with some hesitation: "That...boss!"

I turned to him and asked, "Well. What else is there?"

Murray said to me, "Can you come up with some 'Focus Fire' rune tablets? In the past two weeks, our door has been knocked down by those magic merchants."

I stared into his eyes and asked him, "Winter will be over soon, how much do you think there is still a market for copper hot pot?"

Murray seemed to be prepared, so he just paused for a while, organized his language, and then said to me: "I think this part of the market still has great potential. In the past month or so, the magic shops in the imperial capital have always been Out of stock, every time the copper hot pot made of the magic pattern 'Fighting Fire' rune board appeared in the magic store, it was sold out almost instantly. The disease is still contagious."

In the end, Murray said: "I believe that even if winter is about to pass, there will still be many people willing to buy."

"Why is our copper hot pot selling so well?" Alicia glanced at Murray and asked him in surprise.

"I roughly summed up some reasons. Maybe there are some mistakes. Please correct me with your boss." Murray chuckled.

Then he opened the sheepskin book that he carried with him, and said to Alia and me: "Compared with the Concentrating Fire Rune Tablets handmade by those inscribers, the flame core of the Magic Rune Board is more stable and safer. The durability is not worse than handmade ones, and the most important thing is energy saving. With the same size of magic spar fragments, the magic-weave 'Fire Concentration' rune plate can burn for about five days longer than the manual 'Concentration Fire' rune plate. .”

"Although the quality of some handmade 'Fire Concentration' rune plates is better than that of the magic pattern 'Concentration Fire' rune plates, the biggest defect of handmade 'Concentration Fire' rune plates is the uneven quality. They are always worried that they will buy inferior goods, so they simply give priority to choosing the cheaper, energy-saving and stable magic pattern 'focus' rune plate."

I never imagined that Murray would analyze the market for Spotfire Rune Tables so thoroughly.

"Boss, I dare say a few more words." Murray said to me.

Seeing that Alia and I were staring at him, a thin layer of sweat trickled down on Murray's forehead, and he didn't care to wipe it off, and said straight to the point: "I think if conditions permit, I would like to gradually open up sales Magic rune boards, not limited to our own copper hot pots, use these magic rune boards, so the market can be opened at once..."

Although Murray is right, in this month, the number of magic pattern rune plates printed by Xinliu Valley Magic Seal Workshop is also very limited, which can barely meet the production needs of clan copper hot pot, but if you think again If you take out more, you must add a magic engraving machine.

I shook my head and said to Murray: "For the time being, the magic pattern 'Focus Fire' rune plates are only provided for use with copper hot pots. In addition, I still have a batch of 'miniature tornado' rune plates in my hand. I'll deal with it for you, if you do well, I'm considering whether to sell the magic-weave 'Fighting Fire' rune plate separately."

Murray's eyes lit up when he heard me say that there were other kinds of magic rune tablets that he was responsible for selling.

Not long after, the large magic caravan in North Duisburg was unloaded.

Murray left the rune board workshop with the unloading workers left in the workshop. I caught up with Murray at the gate of the workshop and gave him a handful of silver coins, asking him to find a better restaurant to invite everyone After a good meal, Murray put it into his arms with a smile on his face, and walked away with the workers.

Wait until Katerina searched the workshop from beginning to end to confirm that there is no one else in the workshop.

Only then did I open the portal to Xinliu Valley, and let Kalancuo call a group of orc warriors to carry the thin copper plates and giant crossbow arrows into Xinliu Valley,

Because of the limited space in the Xinliu Valley Cave, even if all the engraved magic rune plates were lifted out, and all the copper ingots made by melting and casting piles of scrap copper plates were carried out, only a small part of them would be transported in. Copper plates and giant crossbow arrows.

It was already late after finishing all these tasks, and Aliya had to arrange for the night watchman on the side of the workshop to stay in the workshop for a while.

I went straight back to my home on the third block.

……

As soon as the magic caravan drove to the gate of the villa in the third block, the iron gate with black pattern slowly opened from the inside, and the guard in light leather armor poked his head out from the inside, saw me stepping out of the carriage, and hurried forward salute.

The guards in the gatehouse were brought by Ying Li from Prince James’s Mansion. Apart from the guards, there are also housekeepers and cooks in the courtyard. Although I bought this villa, I didn’t take the time to take care of it carefully. , walk through the pillared arches.

With the dim light of the magic street lamp on the side of the road, I saw that there was already a layer of faint green marks on the lawn in the yard, but I couldn’t see anything after I walked in. Under the sky, only a trace of fresh green can be seen from a distance.

Unexpectedly, Ying Li's magic caravan was still parked in the yard at this time, and it was still here at such a late hour.

Walking to the front of the villa, Yingli, Helena, and Becky just came out of the house. Seeing me walking up the steps, Yingli said to me: "Why did you come back at this hour?"

I said to Ying Li: "There are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with at the Rune Plate Workshop, so I will come back later."

Wearing a pure white gown of knowledge and magic, Ying Li walked down the steps, stood in front of me and said to me: "I just want to find you at the Imperial Academy of Magic."

I quickly asked Yingli: "What happened?"

She is still waiting for me here at this time, it seems that something must have happened.

Ying Li blushed slightly, and whispered to me: "It's nothing, there is a letter from you in El City!"

I didn't expect that the letter from El City would arrive shortly after I arrived in the Imperial Capital. It seems that when Leonte and Fanny wrote this letter, it shouldn't be long before I left El City.

I quickly took the letterhead, and at this time Yingli was standing beside me, and glanced towards me.

Then it dawned on me that Ying Li still insisted on waiting for me to come back so late, and handed the letterhead to my hand, in fact, it was just to have a look at the contents inside. Lynn and Fanny's impression of her.
