my age of magic

Chapter 1205 9. Senior Dylan's New Ship

When I saw Senior Dylan again, it was a cold spring Friday afternoon.

It was very windy that day, and the wind chimes on the eaves of the nine-story Mage Tower of the Stargazers Guild were jingled by the wind, and the gray clouds in the sky dimmed the sunlight.

A gorgeous magic caravan drove me to the gate of the Stargazers Union. I stepped off the magic caravan and looked up at this magical building that was taller than the Tower of Pride. This magnificent Gothic-style building is Like a sharp sword piercing straight into the clouds, the straight stripes run through the entire tower.

I followed the waiter step by step up the stone steps piled up with bluestone slabs, and walked into the most astrologer's guild among all magic guilds.

The Stargazer Union holds the right to manage the teleportation halls in the major cities of the Grimm Empire, and many nobles cannot afford the expensive teleportation fees in the teleportation halls.

In the teleportation hall built in the bustling Fifth Street District, people come and go from it day and night without interruption.

And that teleportation hall is calculated according to the number of people. If a small group walks out of the teleportation hall, the magic spar it needs to spend will definitely make people feel that the prices in the imperial capital seem a little unreal.

I remember last autumn at the fish skin hood magic pattern construction exhibition, the rich and powerful astrologer guild offered a sky-high price of [-] magic crystals for each fish skin hood, and successfully bid for [-] fish skin hoods , it just so happened that these fish skin hoods were also the last batch made.

From that time until now, I haven't made another fish skin hood.

The inscription masters in the imperial capital tried their best to figure out how to draw the "life magic pattern" on the fish skin hood. I drew thirty fish in one go at the magic pattern construction demonstration. The leather hood made those inscribers mistakenly think that the "life magic pattern" on the fish skin hood is as simple as a layer of window paper, and it only needs to be lightly pierced by someone to peek into the whole picture inside.

In fact, since the demonstration of the magic pattern, the inscribers in the imperial capital have almost sold out the murloc skins, but there are very few inscribers who can successfully make fish skin hoods. The inscribers of the hoods paid a huge price, but those inscribers who couldn't make the fish skin hoods lost all their money.

The magicians of the Stargazers Guild proved that they spent [-] magic crystals to buy a fish skin hood. This seemingly crazy move actually happened to be on the verge of the production cost of the fish skin hood. All the inscribers were silent about this.

Afterwards, the turmoil seemed to calm down, but my rune tablet workshop was boycotted by the inscribers in the imperial capital.

During the time when the mithril rune boards were in short supply and even out of stock, the inscription masters in the imperial capital even got the base plate of the magic pattern rune board from Nick, and then successfully produced the 'miniature tornado' rune These rune boards will also flow directly into the market later, and there is no possibility of repurchasing them at the rune board workshop.

It was under such circumstances that a large number of workshops specializing in the production of exhaust fans emerged in the imperial capital, competing with Nick's rune board workshop for the magic market. The exhaust fans produced by the rune board workshop were old and monotonous. Do not occupy any competitive advantage in the magic market.

During this period of time, the rune plate workshop only relied on the orders of the pure gold magic pattern rune plate substrates to maintain normal operation.

Later, with the help of the Royal Constructed Knights, the South Wind Legion, the North Wind Legion, and the Qiyan Province Constructed Knights, the Mo family finally successfully sealed the connecting passage to the deep hell in the Vala Valley on the Kenda plane. , and then the Mo family announced that the legion stationed in the Kenda plane would obey the call of His Majesty Charles at any time to participate in the plane wars on other planes.

After this battle, the head of the Aix Legion directly entered the Ahnquilador plane owned by the Babington family. The Royal Constructed Knights also entered Ahnquilador under the leadership of His Royal Highness Charlie. So far, The five major mithril mines on the plane of Ahn'Qirad resumed normal production one after another. These five mithril mines accounted for the mithril output of the Grimm Empire above the sixth floor, and a large number of mithril ingots poured into the Grimm Empire again.

The Mithril Rune Tablet Workshop in San Carlos City resumed operation, and a large number of blank Mithril Rune Boards, which were slightly cheaper than the adamantine magic pattern rune boards, poured into the imperial capital and became the rune board that crushed me. The last straw for Wenban Workshop.

After a large number of mithril rune tablets poured into the magic market, the inscription masters in the imperial capital would rather lose part of their deposit than return the order for the fine gold magic pattern rune plates.

One month after not receiving any orders, Nick chose to lead his rune plate craftsmen to another rune plate workshop. As far as I know, the owner of this rune plate workshop is likely to be related to Ivan Meet Diego, or just the two of them.

After that, the first magic engraving machine was successfully born in the blacksmith shop of Xinliu Valley...

It can be said that I was able to survive the boycott of the inscription masters in the imperial capital and the strong pressure from the magic union. The stargazer union gave me a lot of help. Of course, there is the favor of senior Dylan. It may also be that the value of the fish skin hood itself is like that, but I can still feel the kindness conveyed to me by the Astrologers Guild.

So Senior Dylan sent someone to the academy to find me, and wrote a letter saying that he wanted to see me, and I followed his attendant to the Stargazers Union without saying a word.

Senior Dylan's magic laboratory is on the fifth floor of the Stargazer Union. The waiter pushed open the door of a laboratory carved in gold. I saw Senior Dylan busy working inside. The magic laboratory is full of people. It was a drawing of magic parchment, and beside him were several female magician assistants helping Senior Dylan to tidy up the messy room.

The waiter stood at the door and motioned for me to go in, but he himself stood outside the door, not daring to step into the laboratory.

Senior Dylan found me standing at the door of the magic laboratory, and quickly called me in. He was thinner than when we met last time, but he was still very energetic, but his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little haggard. His hair was disheveled, and he wore a pair of tortoiseshell glasses that hung loose on the bridge of his nose.

There is almost no place to stay in the magic laboratory. I bent down and picked up a blueprint of the magic pattern circle, and walked into the magic laboratory.

Senior Dylan was very happy to see me coming, and led me to the rest area in the corner of the magic laboratory.

In the corner of this seemingly spacious magic laboratory, a small bed is simply laid out. The cashmere quilt on it has not been folded, but is piled up messily on it, and two magic robes are hung on the floor-length clothes hanger beside it. And a few white silk shirts, it looks like a temporary resting place for senior Dylan.

Senior Dylan and I were sitting on the sofa beside me. A female magic student assistant came over with a tray containing teapots and cups, and placed two teacups on the tea table in front of Senior Dylan and me. She looked pretty. , the body wrapped in the magic robe is also very plump, squatting carefully beside the coffee table, filling our teacups with milk tea.

Don't look at Senior Dylan's sloppy appearance, but look at the spacious magic laboratory room and the sexy female magic assistant. It can be said that Senior Dylan's life here is quite luxurious.

"It's a bit messy, don't mind too much!" Senior Dylan rubbed his face vigorously with his hand, to make himself more energetic, and said to me with a smile: "I've been so busy these days, all the maids who clean up the housework have been scolded by me. For a while, no one replaced me, no one helped me clean up, you know I'm not good at sorting things out."

I smiled at Senior Dylan and said, "When we were working together in that cabin on the Slave Trader, it was ten times dirtier than this one, or we survived just like that!"

"Haha, now that I occasionally think about those days, I really lived a fulfilling life!" Senior Dylan laughed heartily, his voice a little dry and hoarse.

Senior Dylan inserted his hands into his messy hair, and said to me with emotion: "I remember at that time, I was repeatedly debating whether those magic-weave magic circles were feasible every day, and then you casually used the magic-weave magic circles by my side. According to my graphic annotations, it was drawn without any errors, and we directly demonstrated and compared it with real objects, hey! That kind of work efficiency returned to the imperial capital, and I will never find it again anyway.”

I put the magic parchment blueprint I picked up from the door on the table, and when I saw the familiar magic circle drawn on the magic blueprint, I felt a sigh of relief in my heart.

Senior Dylan returned from the Vashj plane and has been working on the research of the movable magic teleportation array. It was also a paper published by Senior Dylan in this academic field of magic that made him the hottest person in the Grimm Imperial Capital. Young magic scholar.

This magic pattern circle is still in the research and improvement of the movable magic teleportation circle. For me, these drawings still come to my mind one by one like yesterday's memory.

"At that time, all the potential was dug up under the desperate situation. Noah and I were determined to do everything possible to return to the imperial capital. If we didn't go back, Noah and I would be directly expelled from the Royal Academy of Magic. A way!" I said with a smile to Senior Dylan. "Fortunately, Noah and I met the senior at that time, and we are probably still wandering in the sea of ​​Vashj plane now!"

Senior Dylan waved his hand and said: "At that time, I was trapped in Vashj just like you. Who would have thought that there would be a rebellion within the Mensa family, but this time Duke Mensa did not lose anything in the rebellion. , on the contrary, it was a blessing in disguise. Not only did Vashj’s plane war situation gradually become clearer, but also completely suppressed different voices within the family. The mobile island city on the back of the dragon turtle is really a big profit."

Afterwards, Senior Dylan said with a wry smile: "Everyone thinks that I have gained both fame and fortune when I return from the Vashj plane, but they don't know that the real beneficiary is the controller of the Vashj plane!"

What Senior Dylan said made me feel a little hot.

Speaking of which, I have also gained a lot in the Vashj plane. My biggest wish is the "Soul Horn" that was lost in the hands of the Pirate King. I finally got it in my hand as I wished. This is the main purpose of my going to the Vashj plane. .

In addition, I got part of the treasures of the Pirate King, and the "directional magic teleportation scroll" designed by Senior Dylan based on the magic theory of the movable magic teleportation array. Although the effective teleportation distance is only two kilometers, it is an adventure trip. Necessary life-saving items.

Senior Dylan said straight to the point: "I invite you to come here this time, because I want you to help me complete a batch of magic rune plates on the movable magic teleportation array."

Of course he knew that I was studying at the Royal Academy of Magic and basically didn't have much time, but when he asked me for help, he obviously encountered difficulties.

I didn't think much about it, so I agreed directly, and said, "Okay. Senior, when are you going to get these magic rune boards?"

When Senior Dylan saw that I agreed without asking any questions about the situation, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course, the sooner the better!"

Then he said: "There is no way, the guild has helped me find the best inscription masters in the imperial capital as much as possible. It has been as detailed as possible, and some unnecessary magic pattern circles have been simplified, but the effect of the magic rune board they made is still not ideal."

I can imagine this. After all, Senior Dylan’s movable magic teleportation array is a kind of combined magic rune board. In terms of combined magic rune boards, I have to say that the Yerkes scholar is at the forefront. Back when he and I were at the War Magic Academy in El City, we made a combined magic-weave armor shoulder armor for Teresa's rock golem pet.

In fact, this kind of magic pattern circle made of magic metal plates still has some exquisite production, especially the processing of the connection line between the rune plates and the rune plates. A little carelessness will make a piece of rune Wenban wastes all previous efforts.

I was a little distracted, but I heard Senior Dylan say again: "The first few failures, I thought it was because those magic rune plates were made by several inscription masters. After putting them together, poor compatibility is inevitable. Yes, just find a few key points, and then replace the magic rune board, but it turns out that my idea is very stupid, we have replaced almost all the magic rune boards three times, and still can't complete a round A complete mobile magic circle."

This is the third time he sighed: "Hey! Later, I decided to let these ten inscription masters directly take charge of the ten sea ships, so that it can be guaranteed that the magic rune boards on each sea ship can be made by the same inscription master , so that these magic rune plates are more compatible with magic, and at the same time build ten five-masted sailing ships with movable magic pattern circles, as long as one of them can succeed, I will be considered as a successful mission."

He said with a bit of annoyance: "But now it's a mess. The prestigious inscribers in the imperial capital are questioning me one after another. Even the Queen of Vengeance in the Mensa family is guessed by them to be from ancient times. Picked up from the ruins of the ruins, we did not create it with our own hands, they are questioning me!"

I finally understand why Senior Dylan is so irritable.

"So, senior, you have been participating in the construction of a sea ship with a mobile teleportation array recently?" I asked Dylan Scholar in surprise.

Although I had expected such a day for a long time, I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

At the beginning, we built a mobile magic teleportation array on the golden sea ship. Relying on the sea and land two-way magic teleportation array in the naval port of Ignace City, the Mensa family has a very strategic war fortress.

Unexpectedly, not long after Senior Dylan returned to the imperial capital, the Stargazers Union has already started to build a second sea ship with a movable magic teleportation array.

"It's the order from above." Senior Dylan pointed upwards at me.

I suddenly thought of the floating imperial city above my head, so my thoughts became clearer, and I whispered to Senior Dylan, "Is it His Majesty Charles?"

Senior Dylan nodded and said to me: "Let's go, I'll take you to Weiyang Lake to see how we build a shipyard. Without the permission of Angel Boulder's royal family, who can build a shipyard in Weiyang Lake!"

Hearing what Senior Dylan said, I suddenly remembered the lake view I saw in Prince James' study on the third floor of the lakeside manor castle, and the huge dock on the other side of the lake. I was still wondering who actually It's so weird that I chose to build a large dock in Weiyang Lake...
