my age of magic

Chapter 1195 299. Earl Donald's Request
The Xinliu Valley Magic Seal Workshop is like a never-ending machine. More than 60 female dwarves are divided into four groups to operate four magic engraving machines in turn, developing magic rune plates day and night. , Magic rune boards are continuously being manufactured by the dwarves.

The magic seal workshop is full of a strong smell of machine oil. The three spider-man slaves are tied to a huge stone mill by black iron chains. The stone mill driven by the spider-man slaves is the power source of the four magic engraving machines. A four-foot-diameter main shaft was erected in the middle of the grinding disc, and it was connected to four magic engraving machines by means of a bevel gear and worm gear transmission system.

The success rate of the magic engraving of the magic pattern rune plate has stabilized at around 30.00%. Therefore, the magic seal workshop can produce two hundred pieces of the fire-gathering rune plate and the miniature tornado rune plate every day.

Since there are two kinds of magic circles on the arrowhead of the giant crossbow, which are 'sharp' and 'penetrating', and these two magic circles need to be printed on the diamond-shaped slope of the arrow, so the success rate of magic engraving is only 25%. About four, that is to say, every time [-] giant crossbow arrows are processed, a qualified magic crossbow arrow can be produced.

However, this does not mean that the remaining 24 magic crossbow arrows are all scrap products. Among the remaining 24 failed products, seven or eight semi-finished products with a single magic attribute can be found. These giant crossbow arrows only have 'sharp ' or 'penetrate' a single magic attribute, this part of the crossbow bolts with a single magic attribute is also of certain value.

In this way, when a magic engraving machine is running at full capacity, it can only produce at most [-] dual-attribute magic crossbow arrows, [-] single-attribute magic crossbow arrows, and [-] discarded non-attribute giant crossbow arrows every day.

Of course, the four hundred non-attribute arrows can't be regarded as waste, and they can be sold on the market at the original price.

……

The giant crossbow arrows purchased by Earl Donald for the South Wind Legion were crossbow arrows with magic lines engraved on them but without any magical attributes.

During the period when I returned to El City to participate in winter hunting, Earl Donald of the South Wind Legion gave me a total of three purchase orders, and the number of crossbow bolts on each purchase order was only a thousand crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows were delivered to the logistics department of the South Wind Army on time.

This time, the South Wind Corps' sudden and urgent battle reserve must have received an emergency "firefighting" mission. At present, no accurate information has been obtained, and it is not known which plane it is.

The Quartermaster Department of the South Wind Corps was built on the slope behind Prince James' lakeside estate. It was a pure white three-story pointed building.

The magic caravan drove in from the front gate of the lakeside manor, bypassed the gray and white castle, and passed through the entire manor to the entrance of the South Wind Legion’s logistics department. Katerina and I got off the magic caravan and stepped on the granite stone. On the steps, I saw ten guards wearing the uniforms of the Southern Wind Legion standing neatly in front of the building with spears and iris shields in their hands. I took a deep breath and walked up the stone facing the heavily armed guards order.

The simple and tough lines of this building immediately make people look serious.

Not far away, there was a row of large magic caravans unloading boxes of military supplies, and a team of soldiers in light leather armor carried these wooden boxes into the vaulted warehouse next to them.

Ying Li didn't get out of the car with me. After I got out of the car, the magic caravan returned to the castle in front.

Katerina and I passed by the guards without being interrogated. We walked all the way to the gate of the building, only to be stopped by the guards at the gate, who asked us both to show our pass.

I said to the guard at the door, "Earl Donald invited us here."

After speaking, he took out Earl Donald's invitation card from his arms. After the guard opened it and checked it, he ran into the building with the invitation card.

Not long after, an adjutant wearing a second lieutenant's uniform came out, and he led me into the South Wind Army's logistics department, and went upstairs to find Earl Donald.

Earl Donald's office was on the third floor. There was only a large antique walnut desk in the room, which was full of papers.

When I walked into the room, he was holding a quill pen to mark the parchment documents. He was sitting on a chair, his hair was combed meticulously, maybe because the weather has been warmer recently, his noble military jacket Hanging on the floor hanger in the corner of the room, he was only wearing a magic pattern spider silk shirt. He looked up at me and motioned for me to sit down on the sofa beside him.

The glass windows in the room are all open, from here you can just see a corner of Weiyang Lake, the blue water of the lake is sparkling.

Donald called the adjutant to him, whispered something to him, and then the adjutant turned and left Earl Donald's office.

A servant came in from the door carrying two cups of tea, his eyes always fell on Katerina's face inadvertently, it seemed that he was attracted by some characteristics of Katerina.

Katerina and I sat on the sofa and waited for a while, and the adjutant went back with a magic sealing box in his arms.

Seeing that he had placed the magic-sealing box on the square table in front of the sofa, Donald stood up. He walked across to me and sat down. He stretched out his hand and gently pressed his temple. It could be seen that he was a little tired.

Earl Donald sat on the sofa, stretched his brows and smiled at me and said: "Count Jijia, I have never understood that the arrowheads of the giant crossbows that you sold to us are also from the North Duisburg blacksmith workshop. Not only is there no problem with the quality, but it also has complicated magic pattern marks, so why can it be sold at the same price as the giant crossbow arrows sold in the North Castle blacksmith workshop?"

Seeing his determined expression, I knew that Earl Donald probably knew the secret, so I didn't say anything.

Earl Donald continued to say to me: "No matter how you look at it, you will lose money, unless you mixed some low-quality giant crossbow arrows into the magic arrows. These giant crossbow arrows provided are not only free of low-quality arrows, but each arrow with the magic pattern imprint is a first-class product that has been carefully screened."

"It wasn't until I saw this magic crossbow that I realized that the giant crossbow arrows with magic patterns that you sold to the legion were really failures of the inscription master when he drew dual-attribute magic patterns." After finishing speaking , he opened the magic sealing box in front of me, "This magic giant crossbow is well done!"

There is a double-attribute giant magic crossbow arrow in the magic sealing box. The magic power of the magic spar fragments on the arrow has not been completely evaporated. I can clearly feel the magic breath flowing on the giant crossbow arrow.

"Is this giant magic crossbow sent from the northern border?" I found that there were blood stains that could not be wiped off in the magic pattern imprint of the arrow, and asked Earl Donald.

When I was guarding the pass of Beilan Lake, I used a lot of magic giant crossbow bolts, some of which were left around the pass of Beilan Lake, but the number is definitely not many.

I didn't expect Earl Donald to get such a magic giant crossbow. Seeing my question, Earl Donald nodded, "That's right."

I said to Earl Donald: "When I first met you, I explained this matter. These giant crossbow arrows are indeed failures after drawing the magic circle, so it is not difficult to explain that I still have some successes here. "

"I haven't forgotten what you said at the time, but I can't believe that there is an inscriber willing to inscribe magic patterns on the arrowhead of the giant crossbow!" Earl Donald brushed his hair with five fingers.

He said frankly: "At that time, we didn't realize the importance of the magic giant crossbow. At that time, I thought the lethality of the ordinary bed crossbow was already very good. After the battle of Beilan Lake Pass, we realized the magic giant crossbow. great effect on the battlefield."

He leaned forward, stared into my eyes, and said solemnly: "I invite you this time because the Legion is about to purchase a large number of arrowheads for the crossbow."

I looked at Earl Donald expectantly.

Seeing my expression like this, he relaxed a little, and continued to say to me: "Although it is not convenient to reveal the plane battlefield for the time being, the five constructed knights of our South Wind Legion are about to face several difficult battles." , in order to increase the odds of winning this battle, I would like to discuss with you, is it possible to buy a batch of magic crossbow arrows from your hands?"

I readily agreed: "Of course, there is no problem!"

The news from the northern border has spread to the imperial capital, which means that many people know about the magic crossbow.

I can't refuse this deal. After all, no matter what, Prince James is the supreme commander of the South Wind Legion. If I reject Earl Donald's request this time, what face will I have to enter the Lakeside Manor in the future?
"I just like a straightforward young man like you. You are indeed the one chosen by Princess Yingli." Earl Donald couldn't help frowning when he heard me say this, and he promised me: "As long as you can provide us with this quality Magic crossbow arrows, I can give you this large order of giant crossbow arrows in the legion first, and you can eat as much as you can."

I rubbed my itchy nose, and suggested to Earl Donald, "Actually, besides the dual-attribute magic crossbow arrows, I also have a batch of single-attribute giant crossbow arrows in my hand."

"Oh?" Earl Donald looked at me with great interest, as if listening carefully.

I talked to him: "There are two types of single-attribute giant crossbow arrows, one with the 'sharp' magic attribute, which allows the giant crossbow bolts to easily cut through the tough leather on the enemy's body. Heads are priced at 25 silver coins each. The other one has the 'penetrating' magic property, allowing giant crossbow bolts to pierce the defensive layer of tower shields and heavy metal armor. This magic giant crossbow arrow is 35 silver coins each."

There was no fluctuation in Earl Donald's eyes, and it seemed that he could accept such a price.

Then he asked me again: "What about the giant crossbow arrow with dual attributes? How much does it cost?"

I replied: "Two gold coins and fifty silver coins each, and I can't get much out of them. The failure rate of this double-attribute giant crossbow arrow is very high, and the rune plate workshop is very difficult to make. "

He frowned slightly and asked, "How many sticks can you get?"

I calculated a little bit, and then replied: "At present, if I take out all my family's money, I can only gather about [-] sticks!"

Earl Donald didn't expect that I could take out so many giant magic crossbow bolts. He took a breath with a hiss, and said casually, "Barely enough."

Although the inventory of dual-attribute giant crossbow arrows in my hand far exceeds Donald's expectations, it is barely enough for the South Wind Legion's campaign.

So I couldn't help asking curiously: "Earl Donald, this time you're purchasing giant crossbow bolts in bulk, how many do you need?"

Earl Donald immediately replied: "I have a purchase order for [-] giant crossbow arrows in my hand, how much can you take?"

I rubbed my nose again, and asked shyly, "Can I place a full order?"

Earl Donald didn't expect that I wanted all the orders. He stared at me with wide eyes and asked in surprise, "Can you eat all of these?"

I replied very honestly: "Fortunately, the backlog of inventory was a little bit too much, and there are almost [-] pieces in the warehouse... But I suggest that you properly purchase some single magic attribute crossbow arrows with higher cost performance. I can supply almost ten thousand."

Donald said to me with a look of shock: "I'm really curious... How many inscription masters are helping you draw these magic crossbows!"

Hearing Earl Donald's casual question, it reminded me of the female dwarf craftsmen in the Magic Seal Workshop, so I said to Earl Donald: "There are about 40 people!"

In this way, I got a big order from the South Wind Legion, but I also got some magic crossbows accumulated these days.

However, Earl Donald did not talk about the price from the beginning to the end, and he did not even bargain with me. It seems that Earl Donald still quite approves of the price I set.

Actually, I'm quite curious about which plane Prince James will lead the South Wind Legion to fight this time.

This time, Duke Jingyue's Northern Wind Legion drove the barbarians to the north bank of the Benma River in advance, and escaped from the northern border defense battle early. It only needs a month's rest before they can rush to the plane battlefield again.

The Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion have to fight the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra every year. They have rich combat experience and their bodies are tempered like steel cast iron. They are a new force on the battlefield of the plane. The war of the plane has begun Step on the bright side.

I heard that the military power of the Royal Constructed Knights of the Prince of Wales fell into the hands of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charles. I don’t know what the Prince of Wales will do next. I thought that if I have time, I should talk to James.

The logistics department opened the gate separately at the back of the manor, and I walked out directly through the back door of the lakeside manor. Before it got dark, I was going to the Imperial Academy of Magic to meet the Yerkes scholar. It's been two days, and I still haven't had the time to say hello to the Yerkes scholar.

No one expected that before the end of this cold winter, these copper hot pots with the Focus Fire rune plates would still be on sale.

I don't understand why people's enthusiasm for buying copper hot pots has not diminished as the weather gets warmer, but in the past two days, magic caravans have been coming to the rune workshop to restock, every day outside this rune plate workshop The alleys in the city will be crowded with magic caravans.

In the past two days, Murray has been extremely busy, his eyes are flushed, and he probably hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days. He not only has to organize manpower to make copper hot pots, but also rush to assemble [-] exhaust fans. Invest in the magic market in the imperial capital this weekend.
