my age of magic

Chapter 1429
gentle night breeze
Under the bright starry sky, the floating imperial city outlined the outline of the imperial city with lights. Occasionally, one or two knights of the Royal Gripen Knights would fly into the shadow of the floating imperial city from the night sky.

After the summer, the imperial capital has become a city that never sleeps. The streets and alleys in the city are brightly lit. Many people in the imperial capital like to go out from their homes to shop after dinner. Many small vendors will also take to the streets at this time. The red bean ice made by the Ministry of the Environment has become the new favorite of the people in the imperial capital to cool off the summer heat, and there are always some stalls selling ice cream at the intersection of the streets.

The stall owner took a planer and scraped off the ice chips on the huge ice bricks, then poured a spoonful of red bean paste, added a spoonful of maple syrup, and added some vanilla, mint or lemon according to personal taste preferences Juice, if you choose a more high-end one, there will be a layer of fresh seasonal fruit pulp under the smoothie.

The world of elves has always been a place that Green people yearn for, so the fried fish from Buenos City has always been the favorite of the people in the imperial capital. On this night when the heat subsides, many people in the imperial capital like to sit on small chairs by the street , order a fried fish, and a large glass of iced ale. A group of young people drink slightly bitter ale and can chat all night.

The magic caravan passed by the bustling market, and Betty looked at the noisy crowd with envious eyes. As Aliya's personal maid, she probably rarely had her own free time, so she went to the night market to stroll casually.

"Do you want to go down with me for a walk?" I poked my head out of the window, and suddenly saw a barbecue stall on the side of the night market. The smell of meat rushed into my nose, making my stomach growl, so I asked Betty.

Although there are many delicious foods in the water magician salon, I was pestered all night by those water magicians who wanted to learn the 'continuous frost' magic circle. When I tasted two slices of bread, I didn't even have time to add ham and tomato to the bread slices,

"Ah?...Okay." Betty didn't expect that I would suddenly have such an idea, and she froze for a moment before replying.

The coachman stopped by the side of the market, and Betty followed me out of the carriage.

This kind of food stalls in the street night market basically faces the common people in the imperial capital. It is rare to see nobles with status here. For many nobles in the imperial capital, face is far more important than taste .

The people around saw a young magician and nobleman coming out of the magic caravan with a maid, and they didn't pay much attention to it, but they subconsciously moved aside silently, passed the barbecue stall full of fragrance, passed by the overcrowded The fried fish and barley stand came to the freezer's stand, and the crowd who had been queuing up to eat ice in front of the freezer's stand scattered like frightened sparrows.

The stall owner showed an embarrassing expression of wanting to laugh and cry, then shrugged at me, and said cautiously: "Dear Mister Magician, what do you want?"

"Two cups of red bean smoothie..." After I finished speaking, I realized that I should ask Betty's opinion, so I turned to look at her.

"A cup with mint leaves," Betty added in good time.

The two of us did not linger in front of the booth, but walked to the corner of the booth and sat down. There were two ordinary teenagers there. When they saw us walking straight over, they decisively chose to get out of their seats. .

When Betty and I sat in front of the square table, we both breathed a sigh of relief, and saw the original order in front of the freezing point pavement. At this time, I suddenly realized: the world of common people no longer belongs to me. I was already out of tune with everything here.

Perhaps one day, when I take off the magic badge on my chest, take off the magic robe on my body, and wear ordinary old clothes, I can really enjoy the hustle and bustle of this street market and really blend in here.Now I can only sit in the magic caravan and be a passing spectator honestly.

"Let's go, let's go back, I can't wait to see Alia." I said to Betty without waiting for the ice point to be served.

Betty nodded obediently, put a silver coin on the table, lifted the long apricot dress with one hand, and left behind me.

The stall owner with two glasses of red bean smoothie stood in front of the stall with a puzzled expression on his face, watching us leave, probably wondering what we were doing here...

"Let me tell you, the red bean smoothie I make is actually much better than his..."

……

Alia was wearing a lake blue evening dress, waiting quietly in front of the lobby on the first floor.

All the rooms on the first floor of the entire house are lit, and the magic street lamps on both sides of the main road in the courtyard are all lit up. The wheels of the magic caravan pass by on the smooth marble road, making a soft rumbling sound, and the magic caravan is on the steps in the yard. Stopped in front of the red carpet, and the fountain behind him shimmered against the lights.

I stepped down from the magic caravan, and Aliya lifted her skirt and bowed to me, and I could see her elaborate attire. I went up and pulled her up, and she took my arm and walked into the gorgeous house together.

"What are you doing? Did you just go to the prom?" I couldn't help asking when I saw her dressed so formally.

Alia stretched her brows and smiled lightly. She was the kind of woman full of charm. She held my arm with one hand and said: "Noble women in the imperial capital usually dress up like this when they greet the knights returning from the battlefield. .”

"Uh, is this celebrating the victory of the Hierro Plane War?" I asked her.

"Can I think so?" She turned to me and asked me, her eyes were as deep as the night sky.

I scratched my head, and said with some embarrassment: "It's a little early, and I'm still thinking about how to drive out the group of Nebulu spiders completely. If there is a chance, I hope to find that connecting channel and send It's sealed."

Aliya frowned, and said: "I thought you drove the Nebulu spider out of the Black Forest, and this expedition was coming to an end."

I replied: "For the time being, it's over. The knights of Duerva need to take a good rest. The Hierro plane also needs to take a good rest for the time being. Now we just wait for the dryad warriors who entered the swamp sea to return safely. , this expedition is over."

The constructed knights under Zack and Ernestine need to return to Pereira City for a rest, and the summer is coming to an end, and the warriors of Salta will return to Salta before the autumn harvest to guard against those hiding in Pai. The sand bandits in the desert at the foot of the mountains at the southern foot of the plateau, and the constructed knights of the Borean Legion need to plan their return date. There is a long way between the Hierro plane and the province of Sloit, and I can’t always occupy it. The ten armored knights did not return.

I squeezed her hand and said, "Yes, Alicia, thank you!"

"Why are you telling me this?" Aliya was about to step into the hall on the first floor, when she heard me say this, her body paused.

I helped her walk into the living room, and then said: "This sentence of thanks is to you on behalf of the constructed knights, orc warriors, barbarian slaves, and native warriors of the Gilda tribe on the plane of Hierro, the North Wind Legion."

"Then what about you?" There was a hint of charm between her eyebrows.

"What kind of thanks do you want..."

……

The plane wars that broke out on some of the subsidiary planes of the Grimm Empire are in full swing, and each issue of the Imperial Capital Magic newspaper will describe in a huge space: the cruelty of the war and how the Constructed Knights of the Grimm Empire fought bravely on the front line. I hope that more warriors will go to the frontline battlefield of the plane war, and I call on people from all walks of life in the imperial capital to do what they can to fight the plane war.

However, the people of the imperial capital were not affected by the war of planes. Apart from the relative shortage of some strategic materials in this city, only the price of healing potions has remained high. Healing potions that are reddish in color are always missing.

The imperial capital is still the trading center of the Grimm Empire, and the small town at the foot of the mountain is almost the largest material distribution center of the Grimm Empire. Every day, hundreds of airships gather here from various parts of the empire. These magical airships bring What is abundant in various places will also take away what the lords need.

There are many chambers of commerce in the imperial capital. In order to avoid vicious competition in the industry, these chambers of commerce usually hold supplier conferences in this industry every year. These conferences usually invite businessmen who have made some achievements in a certain industry. For example, not long ago, Alia participated in the textile supplier conference in the Imperial Capital. Alia almost monopolized the magic spider silk cloth market in the Imperial Capital. Due to the limited raw materials, other magic spider silk cloths in the market Silk fabrics almost disappeared during this year.

Therefore, Alia is already one of the giants in the cloth market in the imperial capital. The Textile Chamber of Commerce requires Alia to increase the export of silk fabrics to the Silver Moon Elf, increase the price of the magic spider silk cloth in the imperial capital market, and lower the price of silk fabrics. The market share of the magic-weave spider silk cloth in the imperial capital will give the other textile workshops of the Green Empire a certain living space.

Faced with these terms, although Alia did not agree to all of them, she also made certain concessions. The benefit she gained was that she joined the Textile Chamber of Commerce Alliance and became one of the most famous merchants in the cloth merchant circle. Produced by Alia Workshop The magic-weave spider silk cloth is protected by the Textile Chamber of Commerce, so that the magic-weave spider silk cloth in Alia's textile workshop can enter other provinces of the Grimm Empire through some channels in the Textile Chamber of Commerce.

Aliya made a splash in the pool and disappeared.

By the time she showed her head, she had already reached the opposite bank, and she came out of the pool wetly, with drops of water dripping from her body.

Betty quickly delivered the prepared bath towels, and Alia sat down beside me.

Swimming in the swimming pool at night is naturally a special experience. Seeing Alia coming out of the swimming pool happily, I put away the mysterious rune board. After the two associated magic patterns 'Demand Reduction' and 'Energy Gathering Magic Ring', after so long, I still haven't made any progress, and I have no clue about it, and I feel a sense of frustration that I can't use my strength.

Unable to open the third page of the mysterious Mo rune board, this effort failed again.

Aliya lay sideways on the recliner beside her, and Betty stood behind her and helped her dry her wet hair. Aliya said to me: "Murray has sent a message that you are invited to participate in this year's Rune Board Supplier Conference." , if you don't want to go, Betty and I can deal with it."

"About when?" I put the mysterious rune board aside and asked.

The other magic rune board vendors in the imperial capital are finally willing to face up to my rune board workshop, and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

"The day after tomorrow afternoon, the Babington family's manor in the imperial capital." Aliya replied.

"The rune board supplier meeting... Babington Manor, will it be a little embarrassing to see that group of people? I'll go!" I thought for a while, and then said.

It seems that the Babington family in San Carlos City still controls the rune tablet market of the Grimm Empire, and the meeting places are all chosen in their manor.

"Well, then I'll have someone notify Murray tomorrow morning." Aliya had no objection to my proposal.

Now that the decision has been made, I asked Alicia curiously: "What do you usually do at this kind of supplier conference?"

Aliya knew this very well, and explained to me seriously: "Basically, the suppliers of those large rune board workshops agree on the market share of rune boards, and then they will restrict the operation of those small manufacturers. scope."

It turned out that the rune board merchants were discussing in private how to carve up the market. I couldn't help but frowned and asked Alia: "Is this engaging in market monopoly? Will the Angibald royal family let this kind of chamber of commerce control the magic market? "

Aliya snorted softly, picked up the chairback gold cider from the table beside her, took a sip, and said, "There will be no written contract documents, it's just some verbal agreement, as long as they can't be caught There is no way to interfere with the royal family, even if some handles are caught."

"It sounds boring." I sighed softly.

Speaking of it, the project of my magic rune board workshop is very simple. There are only three kinds of magic rune boards to make magic items, copper hot pot, exhaust fan and refrigerator.

These three magic items are modified from rune plates made with the most basic magic skills. Since this magic item is shipped in large quantities every day, my rune plate workshop has also entered other large runes Board Supplier Vision.

I didn't expect to come back from the plane of Hierro to encounter this kind of thing. In fact, I really want to know other rune board manufacturers in the imperial capital.

"Or let Betty go with you..." Aliya said to me.

"Alright..."
