my age of magic

Chapter 1262 66. The price of the princess

The life in the imperial capital is dull and busy, except for two more beautiful girls in the garden of the courtyard, nothing seems to have changed.

Aaliyah and Betty had to rush to deal with the backlog of the textile workshop for several days in the early morning.

Before I could even say 'good morning' to little Ella, I took Katerina to the Royal Academy of Magic for morning classes.

A magic teacher stood on the big podium of the lecture hall, and kept using magic to draw a series of runes on the blackboard. Each magic rune has a unique scale. He led us on the podium. Repeating the recitation, he continued to confirm the correct pronunciation of the rune language for everyone in the classroom.

These familiar magic runes are constantly beating on my fingertips. I am very familiar with the language of each rune. When I draw the magic pattern structure, I need to use them often. I can even pick out this magic The teacher drew some small questions on these rune words on the blackboard.

Noah sat next to me and covered his face with a thick magic book, and buried his head in a low voice to ask me, where did I go in the past two days, and why I couldn't be found all the time.

I smiled at him, and whispered that I went to Airport Town in the past two days to receive a batch of newly arrived magic herbs.

Before Noah could continue whispering, he was called by the magic teacher on stage.

The magic teacher asked him a very tricky question. If Shirley Newman hadn't quietly told Noah the answer, he might have been punished in class this time.

……

At noon, I rejected Noah's invitation to have lunch together, and I ran to the dock by Weiyang Lake without stopping.

When we arrived at the dock, we found that the entire dock was empty.

Except for the guards on duty, all the boatmen are off today.

The guard at the gate of the dock told me that the second ship on the Weiyang Lake dock has already gone for trial voyage.

According to the boatmen at the dock, the teleportation central system was not assembled until last night. Senior Dylan and the Prince of Wales led a group of elite construction knights to board the teleportation ship and brought a whole ship's supplies. , teleport to the plane of Luoqi.

When the teleportation ship passed through the rift in time and space, there was lightning and thunder on the surface of Weiyang Lake, and a huge thunder door was accompanied by a violent roar, which almost woke up the nobles living on the shore of Weiyang Lake.

Unexpectedly, the installation of the second teleportation ship was completed so smoothly. I walked out from the dock and boarded a magic caravan waiting by the roadside.

Katerina asked me, "Where are we going next?"

"The Tower of Pride, Imperial Academy of Magic." I sat in the carriage and said to Katerina.

……

In the magic laboratory.

The Yerkes scholar has made some improvements to the design blueprint of the rune plate with the continuous 'frost' magic effect.

On a one-foot-square blank red copper rune board, I carefully drew a different 'Frost' magic circle.

To be honest, the 'Frost Scroll' is the magic scroll I have drawn the most in my life. After I started working, I could even draw a frost scroll on the magic parchment with my eyes closed.

And now, this 'frost' magic finally has some new changes. The biggest difference between it and before is that the magic rune board gives it a continuous magic effect.

Yes, this is exactly the magic effect I want.

Whether it is a refrigerator, a freezer, or building an ice room, it is necessary to have such an ice magic rune board, and frost magic is a secondary magic, and the biggest feature of this magic is its low mana consumption.

"It really looks perfect!"

I almost put my face on the rune board, feeling the magic elements of the ice system flowing in the magic pattern on the rune board, the ice mist flowed down from the rune board like a spring, and the temperature in the laboratory gradually dropped .

"Perhaps I won't have to wait until next month, my rune plate workshop will be able to mass-produce this 'frost' magic rune plate." I said to the Yerkes scholar.

"No... no no! It's not finished yet, this is not a complete 'Frost' magic rune board." Yerkes scholar said, turning the red copper rune board on the test stand over, The blank magical red copper plated layer on the back was placed in front of me.

I stared at the Yerkes scholar with wide eyes, not understanding what he was talking about.

He gestured in the air with his fingers, as if drawing a magic circle.

"Is it possible that this side of the rune board should also draw a 'Frost' magic circle?" I asked the Yerkes scholar. "We're going to make the 'Frost' magic rune tablet double-sided?"

"No, that's not the case." The Yerkes scholar waved his hand at me, and seeing that I couldn't come up with an answer, he said to me, "You seem to have forgotten that we still have the 'Energy Gathering Oculus'."

"You mean to engrave 'Oculus' on the back of the rune tablet?" I asked Yerkes.

"Actually, my original idea was to engrave the 'Energy Gathering Oculus' on the four sides of the rune board, but it seems very difficult!" The Yerkes scholar sat in front of the test bench opposite me and shrugged his shoulders. .

I was just about to say: it's impossible, I can't draw 'Oculus' on all four sides at the same time, it's too difficult.

I heard the Yerkes scholar say: "However, that may seriously affect the yield rate of the rune board, so I came up with an idea, that is to build a bridge on the rune metal board, and connect the front and back of the rune board together." connected, and then we drew the 'gathering magic pattern' on the back of the rune board, so that maybe this 'frost' magic rune board can work without magic spar fragments."

He gestured on the rune board with his hands, and told me where the magic bridge was built on this rune board, and where were the nodes of many runes.

With his explanation, I began to understand his design intention a little bit.

I think the most ingenious part of this 'Frost' magic rune board is the magic bridge erected by the Yerkes scholar.

"I'm ready, why don't we try to draw one!" I held the magic engraving pen and said to the Yerkes scholar eagerly.

"Come on!" The Yerkes scholar also looked very excited, because he also wanted to know whether these designs of his would work.

The accompanying magic circle of 'Energy Gathering Magic Ring' is the most complicated magic pattern magic circle I have seen so far, not even one of them.

At the end, I even felt that the fingers holding the magic engraving pen were already stiff, but those endless magic lines still continued to extend, as if they were drawing endless cloud patterns, and every time the magic lines reached Closely attached together, if there is no description of the design drawings, the 'gathering magic pattern' at first glance looks like some kind of knurling pressed by a roller on a rune board.

Moreover, the energy-gathering magic pattern will never transmit the fluctuation of magic, because it is not releasing, but continuously condensing...

Looking at the ice fog magic rune board that can automatically operate without the need for gem bases and magic spar skins, Yerkes and I have already passed the exciting period of excitement in our hearts.

The Yerkes scholar and I sat in front of the test bench speechlessly, and then we had to face a more brutal problem.

"Yerkees, what do you think will happen if we put this 'frost' magic rune tablet with no mana consumption on the magic market?" I asked the Yerkes scholar.

Scholar Yerkes stared at me solemnly, and said, "A fish skin hood with sigils of life has driven the inscription masters of the imperial capital crazy, and some even used the power of the magic union to force you to submit... ..."

Then he said to me word by word: "Give up this idea, Jijia."

Yerkes scholar said: "If you really take out this 'Frost' magic rune tablet, what you will see in front of you will never be power, money and glory, but a black vortex formed by endless greed. An invisible big mouth will swallow the two of us whole, maybe we will never see the bright sunshine and blue sky in this life, what we will lose is not only freedom, but everything.”

"So we have to destroy it. This kind of 'frost' magic rune plate can only be low-wear, absolutely not no-mana." When Yerkes said this, he had already taken out a handful of thorium. He smashed the square-headed hammer on the rune board. Immediately, the magic patterns carved on the rune board changed under his hammer, and the magic that was running stopped abruptly.

Seeing that the rune board was drawn with great effort and destroyed in our hands, it feels like all the strength in my body has been pulled out of my body.

I rested my chin on the test bench and yelled, "Yerkees!"

"Ok?"

Yerkes scholar's hands trembled a little. He smashed the rune metal plate with the thorium hammer until it lost its original appearance, and then smashed all the design drawings on the test bench about the magic bridge and the energy-gathering magic ring. Throw it into the fireplace and light it with a fire.

So I asked him: "Do you think this 'Frost' magic rune board will have a chance to appear in the magic market in the future?"

Yerkes said to me: "Of course, these magic items will appear in the magic market one day, but first we need to be strong..."

……

I found that when I faced Yingli alone, I was still very guilty.

I don't know how to explain the identities of the two indigenous girls to Ying Li.

So taking advantage of the rare free time at night, he invited Noah to the quiet courtyard in the third block to play.

Ying Li has nothing to do in the evening, entertaining Noah and Shirley Newman with me.

A few of us were sitting on the terrace on the third floor. Yingli and Shirley Newman were playing a game of war chess that was very popular among Green nobles. Noah and I were drinking golden cider against the fence of the terrace.

I don't think I'll be able to make this clear until I've had a little wine.

So after I drank three glasses of golden cider, I took the opportunity to tell the whole story. Of course, I didn't mention that these two indigenous girls were brought back from Hierro yesterday. I heard Yingli say that Lei The Earl of Zeus and Cavalier Jason had just returned to the Imperial Capital two days ago with their personal guards to construct a knight squad, so they vaguely said that they had just arrived in the Imperial Capital not long ago.

We talked about this kind of marriage that smacks of a political covenant. I think maybe it can't be considered a marriage, because they can only be regarded as the two maids who stay with me. Elder Singer did not expect that these two indigenous girls could marry me.

Perhaps it was because the elders in the Gilda tribe had no such thoughts in their hearts after meeting Kalantso.

They sent two aboriginal girls to me, just for themselves, or a kind of psychological comfort for me: hey, we have formed an alliance.

Speaking of these things, Noah also said with deep emotion: "Some covenants cannot be written in the magic contract. In order to ensure that both parties abide by the covenant, marriage is the easiest way."

Holding the goblet in my hand, I sarcastically said to him, "For example... your marriage contract with that Naga Sea Princess Barbara?"

Noah just took a sip of wine and almost spit it out after hearing me say that.

"Ahem, please pay attention to your words. There is a certain emotional foundation between Barbara and I. We love the Sea of ​​Vashj. Of course, this beautiful love can have a perfect result in the end. This cannot be separated from your love." My heart is full of gratitude for the help." Noah said.

He didn't seem to be worried that Shirley would be jealous at all. In fact, Shirley Newman didn't care much about it.

Noah came up to me, put his arms around my shoulders, bumped his wine glass with me, and said: "Actually, you have nothing to worry about, power, money, power, once these things become paved on the road under your feet Everything that belongs to you will come one after another, and there is no way to escape some things, and there is no need to complain, these are all derived from the choices you made at the beginning. "

I savored Noah's words carefully.

At this time, Ying Li put down the chess pieces in his hand, but still kept a faint smile on his face.

But I always feel a little guilty.

Ying Li walked up to me, holding on to the fence with both hands, and his eyes fell on the two indigenous girls by the fountain in the yard.

She said to me: "In fact, these Yero people have set their goals very low. They didn't expect you to marry the successors of the two tribal great witches and the granddaughters of the tribal elders. They only hoped that they would be by your side. But, let you see them occasionally, and because of their relationship, you will not do things that hurt the Yero people in the face of some choices, if you can do this, it is enough for them."

Ying Li's tone was very flat, and he didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction because of it.

It's just that I'm still a little uncertain, maybe it's because Noah and Shirley are here that they put on such a gesture.

Her eyes were clear, and she looked at me and said, "The Angibald royal family, this kind of covenant with marriage as a bond has happened too much, and every royal princess is doomed from the moment she is born." It's something everyone takes for granted when they come of age and make sacrifices for the Angibald royal family."

"In order to be able to reach a covenant with the Temple of the Statue of Liberty, one of my aunts chose to become a high priest and was unable to marry for life. The other aunt married the current monarch of the Endless Sea Naga Sea Clan, and none of them could marry themselves People they like, they also have to marry, this may be the price of being born in the royal family and being a princess..."

……
