my age of magic

Chapter 1348 152. Spring of Magic for All

Count Robert, the owner of North Duisburg, personally sent me to the door of the workshop.
I didn't see him returning with his assistant until my carriage left the alley and turned at the intersection.

In the seventh block of the imperial capital in early summer, there was a faint fragrance of Sophora japonica in the air.

Passing through a relatively clean residential area, there are a row of shops along both sides of the street.

……

There are various scents floating in the street, the buttery bread in the bakery exudes a faint sweetness, the fresh yellow lamb, half-dried ham and sausages hang in the butcher shop, and the salty cumin smell wafts from the barbecue restaurant, With the widespread popularity of exhaust fans in the kitchens of aristocratic families in the imperial capital, many food shops have gradually installed this kind of life-like magic items in the kitchens.

Facts have proved that blowing the aroma in the store to the street can increase the desire of passers-by to buy these foods, which is also the main reason why many store owners are willing to install exhaust fans in the store.

……

On the main street of the imperial capital, you can also see another new type of shop, which is a shop selling all kinds of fresh sea fish. All kinds of sea fish, some white frost mist poured out from under these ice cubes, even in the slightly hot season of early summer, the ice cubes on this wooden counter showed no sign of melting.

This kind of shop specializing in the sale of chilled sea fish began to slowly rise in the imperial capital this spring. At the beginning, it only opened a few small shops in the most prosperous areas of the third and fifth blocks, because these The price of iced sea fish, which is slightly higher than that of yellow mutton and unicorn beef, is precisely the kind of luxury food that only the low-class nobles living in the second and third blocks and living a petty bourgeois life can afford.

Many nearby restaurants also include some sea fish dishes on their menus. Most people in the imperial capital can’t resist the delicious taste of cooking sea fish. In just one month, this kind of chilled fish shops selling sea fish have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Heads popped up in every block of the imperial capital.

The idea of ​​transforming the freezer with the 'Frost Magic Rune Tablet' was brought over from Star Sea City by a group of fishmongers from the Northern Province.

Xinghai City was originally a seaport city. The cold wind blowing from the ice and snow tundra keeps the sea here at zero degrees for half of the year. Under this water temperature, the sea is rich in various fatty sea fish. These sea fish are delicious, and have always been the food on the tables of the upper-class noble families in the imperial capital, and those upper-class nobles in the imperial capital usually use expensive magic sealing boxes to transport these delicious sea fish.

As for the origin of the freezer, it first appeared on the ships of Xinghai City. In the earliest days, after the fishermen caught a large number of precious sea fish, they would drop one or two frost scrolls at the bottom of the fish cabin, and then put the sea fish into the cabin. , so that these sea fish can be kept fresh for a long time, and these sea fish can be sold at a good price after being shipped back to the seaport.

Later, the fishmongers in Xinghai City borrowed this method, put the frost scroll into a large wooden box, filled the wooden box with frozen sea fish, and directly transported these sea fish to the airport town for sale in a magic airship. Let the fishmongers in Xinghai City make a fortune.

The merchants on the imperial capital found that to keep these frozen sea fish from deteriorating, they only needed to throw a one-time frost scroll into the wooden box. Frost Magic Rune Tablet.

So the 'Frost Magic Rune Board' in the spring of the imperial capital, these iced fresh fish paved the largest medium to promote the frost magic rune board.

……

In addition, in some free markets, you can also see some household ovens made of fire-focusing rune plates. These ovens are also very ingeniously made, and the market potential is much greater than that of copper hot pots.

Recently, at the rune plate workshop, Murray has been requesting to increase the production of the Focus Fire rune plate. For the 'miniature tornado rune plate' and 'frost rune plate', it is only necessary to maintain the current production.

But for me, not to mention that it is difficult to increase the production of Fire Focus Rune Plates, even if I want to maintain the current production capacity, there are certain difficulties.

Due to the needs of the Hierro Plane War, I must ensure that the reserve of double-attribute giant crossbow arrows reaches five combat readiness bases, because I am worried that if I lose a certain battle with the Nebulu Spiderman, it will be difficult for the barbarian slaves to get them on the battlefield. Go back to those giant crossbows, then if you continue to fight against the Nebulu spider, you must use a brand new giant crossbow. I don't want the heavy crossbow group composed of barbarian slaves to be unable to exert its maximum power because of insufficient preparation of the giant crossbow. .

Although in the face of the plane war, the production of all life-like magic rune boards must give way to it.

From the exhaust fan to the copper hot pot, to the freezer and oven behind it, these life-like magic rune boards are subtly entering the lives of the people in the imperial capital.

……

"To the Royal Academy of Magic."

Katerina said to the coachman outside.

I sat face to face with Katerina in the magic caravan, a cup of tea with lemon on the table.

I picked up a magic newspaper and flipped through some recent news written on it.

Unexpectedly, the Magic News actually wrote an inside story about Prince Charlie's victory in the multi-plane of Ahn'Qirad. It is said that Mo Xiang, the young master of the Mo family, led twenty knights in armor to go to the multi-plane of Ahn'Qirad to hold him back. The Nacoma army all the way gave Prince Charlie a chance to breathe.

A group of staunch supporters of Prince Charles, who are also the heirs in line of some wealthy nobles, led their private armed forces to the plane of Ahn'Qirad, and helped Prince Charlie win a real victory. The Nakmama army retreated in the plane of Ahn'Qirador, and the battle situation in the plane of Ahn'Qirador had to initially stabilize.

I think there must be Louis Mensa among the heirs of the wealthy and noble families. It seems that this is the true background of Prince Charlie.

In contrast, the Prince of Wales' campaign on the plane of Rocky was carried out at a moderate pace. Senior Dylan was still fighting with the army. The huge pressure caused by the Kema people has gradually emerged, and the Prince of Wales is constantly pulling the Nakma people's line of defense.

The Knights of the Prince of Wales are like wind wolves on the prairie, trailing behind the herd, trying to open their tusks on the stragglers and sick old cattle.

In addition, I also found a report on the Hierro plane war in the magic newspaper. It briefly introduced that the Duke of Samoyed launched a counterattack on the Hierro plane. At the foot of Thunder Pillar City, Ernestine's Knight Legion had just left Gurubashi City, smashing through multiple Nibru spider legions along the way.

This report did not mention that the North Wind Army was also involved in this big counterattack, it only said that the Duke of Samoyed finally dealt the most painful blow to the Nibru spider after more than half a year of preparation, but the report was also very Sharply pointed out that the Duke of Samoyed's counterattack was only to recover the lost ground, and for the time being, he did not intend to completely defeat the Nibru spider army and seal the connecting passage.

In addition, the magic newspaper also used a lot of space to introduce the grand occasion of the magic awakening ceremony in the imperial capital this year. It is said that more than 1000 future magicians have been awakened in the imperial capital. This number is about thirty times that of El City. There were also several gifted young magic apprentices who were born with very good magical talents.

Sitting in the compartment of the magic caravan, enjoying the warm sunshine in the afternoon while reading various news in the Imperial Capital Magic News, there is a kind of indescribable relaxation and freehand feeling.

At this moment, I forgot the knights fighting on the plane of Hierro, the black forest that was ravaged by the Nebulu spiders, and the residents of Tanton City who lived tremblingly under the shadow of the Nebru spiders.

After a while, I put down the magic newspaper in my hand, and said to Katerina with great emotion: "It would be great if there were no such plane wars!"

Katerina gave me a strange look.

At this time, the speed of the magic caravan gradually slowed down, and finally the carriage stopped at the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic.

I pushed the car door open and got out.

I saw several magic merchants standing under the shade of the trees at the gate of the college, whispering in low voices.

Higher schools of magic like the Royal Academy of Magic usually rarely have magic merchants blocking the door. After I stepped out of the magic caravan, I was inevitably scrutinized by these magic merchants and found that I was not the person they were looking for. They all looked back one after another.

I took Katerina into the college and walked directly to the library. I saw Ivan and Diego on the path of the lawn in the large square in front of the college. These two seemed to be hesitating whether to start the college or not. At the gate, when they saw me passing by, they turned around and ran away quickly.

The faces of the two of them looked very bad, and it seemed that they hadn't struggled out of the quagmire of the magic rune board workshop.

……

In the college library, I walked up to the second floor to the room of Shaun scholar.

When I knocked on the door and went in, I saw him wearing a monocle and studying a thick magic book carefully.

The kettle on the tea stove at the side was emitting white steam 'puff puff puff puff', but he didn't even notice it.

I walked over to remove the magic spar fragments in the center of the Gathering Flame rune board with clips. The flame of the tea stove went out instantly, and I filled the teacup with hot water. Seeing that Scholar Xiao En was still completely unresponsive and focused on the magic I went to the bookshelf in the corner of the room and admired the exquisite covers of those magic books.

Without the recommendation of Scholar Xiaon, I dare not browse these advanced magic books casually, for fear of being influenced by some magical views in these magic books.

It took a long time for Scholar Xiao En to wake up completely from his mental concentration. He looked up and saw me standing in front of the bookshelf, and said to me in surprise: "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be traveling between planes at this time, looking for Is it a chance to advance?"

Scholar Sean took off his glasses, stood in front of me and looked at me seriously for a long time. He raised his eyebrows and said to me: "Hey! It's really unexpected!"

"I didn't expect you to step into the ranks of a rank-one intermediate magician so quickly." Scholar Xiao En said very gratified, his eyes showed a joy, I didn't expect him to know me just by looking at me a few times. I was promoted successfully. .

"Yes, Shawn Scholar." I stood in front of him and said honestly.

Later, I heard Scholar Xiaon say: "That's right! Last summer, you had already realized the 'potential', and then you repeatedly tempered the magic power in the magic pool. It is very important for you to be promoted to an intermediate magician." It's as simple as it should be, so there's nothing surprising about it!"

"..." I was speechless for a while.

He went on to say: "Then... let me think about the purpose of your coming to me, is it to learn the third-level water magic skills?"

As he spoke, he set his eyes on the bookshelf beside him, looking for the magic book on it.

Soon his gaze rested on a magic book, his eyes lit up, he reached out and pulled the magic book out of the shelf, and said to me: "I have a Healing Rain here, this third-level water magic skill It is the easiest to learn, based on your understanding of water magic, it is estimated that you can learn it in less than a month, now there is a shortage of healers everywhere, this magic skill book is very suitable for you."

I rubbed my nose, and didn't reach out to pick up the 'Rain of Healing', but said to him implicitly: "Scholar Shaun, I prefer deeper ice magic skills than water magic skills."

Hearing what I said, Shaun Scholar hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Oh, the main reason I have always disapproved of your learning ice magic is that ice magic has a big drawback. Once you learn a deeper level of ice magic, it means that when you become a second-rank advanced magician in the future, You also need to comprehend the body of the ice element accordingly, and you need to communicate with the spirit of the ice element, compared to the body of the water element and the spirit of the water element, it is more difficult than 01:30."

He paused, and seeing that I showed no sign of changing my mind, he sighed and said, "Well, I know you seem to have a much better temper than Heidi, but in fact you are as stubborn as Heidi in your bones. I won't stop you on this matter, I have a third-level ice magic skill book here..."

Seeing him talking endlessly, I had no choice but to interrupt him and tell the purpose of meeting him this time: "Scholar Xiao En, I came to see you not for the third-level magic skill book, but to ask you Please tell me, I heard that after a magician is promoted to one rank, he will basically awaken his magic talent, but I don't feel any change in myself."

"Awakening magic talent? Oh, that's right, but not all magicians will awaken magic talent after one turn, and there are some special existences, but I don't think these special existences will include you, the magic talent you awakened , it’s just that you haven’t discovered it yet.” Scholar Xiao En changed his mind and said to me.

Then he asked me again: "Did you never meditate after being promoted?"

I nodded.

Scholar Sean patted me on the shoulder, sent me to the door with a helpless face, stuffed these two magicians into my hands, and said to me: "After you go back, do a good meditation and accept the guidance of your body." , you will feel the difference in the spiritual world, it is worth noting that you must accept the guidance of the body..."
