Chapter 1441 245. Morning in the Imperial Capital

Aaliyah likes to sit on the terrace and drink her morning tea in the first rays of the morning sun.

Before the morning dew disappears from the blades of grass, draw up a work plan for the day.

For Alia, there is too much work to be done every day, not only to manage a huge textile workshop, but also to coordinate and coordinate the preparation of materials at the rune board workshop. The Blue Spider was fighting, so the production rhythm at the Rune Plate Workshop was messed up. Every time Murray saw me, he would complain to me a lot of bitterness. I have sorted out the clues in the matter, and every time I return to the imperial capital, I will not wait for a long time due to lack of preparation.

Although Aliya has Betty who can help her share many things, but only Aliya is the real decision maker.

I like to stand by the window with a cup of lemon tea and watch Alia think seriously while biting the tip of her pen.

At this time, she was like the woman in the elite workplace in her memory. She would record the itinerary of the day on a piece of yellowed parchment, and then put it into action.

In order to keep the youth that is constantly passing away, morning exercise is essential every day. The elves have their own unique views on beauty and shaping. The elves advocate a set of gymnastics similar to Jiu-Jitsu. The physical arts passed down from the other side of the world are very popular among the upper-class nobles and ladies of the imperial capital. I stood quietly by the French window and watched Alia practice the elven physical arts on the oak floor of the terrace.

That physical technique looks a bit like yoga, but the movements are very different. Every movement looks like an archer drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. After a set of movements, it is also very hard. Alia's body is plump and soft, The movements of this set of physical exercises were performed with high quality, but they seemed a little powerless at the end, the sweat flowed down the neck, and a large area of ​​the clothes on the chest was soaked.

Many magicians like to meditate in the early morning. Early morning is the most energetic time of the day. Practicing meditation at this time can often get twice the result with half the effort. When I was in El City, I often stayed up late to make magic scrolls. I will take advantage of this time to practice meditation. After arriving in the imperial capital, the time for meditation has become less and less.

Aliya wiped the sweat off her face with a towel, pushed open the wooden door on the terrace and walked in.

I wanted to hold her in my arms, but she twisted her waist and got out of the way. As she walked towards the bathroom, she asked me, "I'm going to take a shower, doesn't it mean I'm going to the auction this morning?" OK?"

Leaning on the vertical marble pillar by the window, I said to Aliya: "I thought about it last night and decided to forget it. I was worried that once those spider slaves appeared on the auction block, my name might be the next day." It will appear on the front page of the magic newspaper, and since Prince James has reminded me to keep a low profile recently, this kind of publicity can be avoided recently, so try to avoid it as much as possible."

A maid walked into the bathroom with a stack of bath towels, and Aliya whispered some instructions to the maid.

I continued: "Furthermore, even if all those spider-man slaves are photographed, it won't be worth much, and the subsequent contract scrolls will be very troublesome to deal with. I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

Aliya took off the crown on the top of her head, and her long hair spread out like a waterfall. She took off her shoes and walked into the bathroom. Try the private auctions in the small circle of nobles, if you want to participate, I can introduce some friends to you, they have this channel."

"Are you sure you won't cause me any trouble?" I sat on the sofa, and through the open door of the bathroom, I just saw the back of Alia sitting in the bathtub, and the two maids squatted behind her, Wash her hair.

Aliya said to me: "The privacy of this kind of private auction is quite high, but even if people know about it, how troublesome can it be?"

Among the trophies brought back from the plane of Hierro, those spider-man slaves were just additions. What really has great value is the batch of unidentified black magic crystals. These black magic crystals with merits, I think Those nobles in the imperial capital who are quite wealthy but not high in titles should have demand for these black magic crystals. There should be many nobles in the imperial capital who dare not go to the battlefield but are not satisfied with their current titles.

In addition, there are a large number of black iron weapons seized. This batch of black iron North Duisburg should be able to eat all of them, and my side has a great demand for the substrate of giant crossbow arrows. After recasting these black iron weapons, It can be sold back to me if it is re-forged into a giant crossbow arrow. Count Robert, the owner of North Duisburg, is not a loss for this business.

In addition, there are a large number of magic herbs brought back from the plane of Yero. These magic herbs are collected from the indigenous tribes in the southern part of the Black Forest. For this reason, I almost emptied a warehouse in the small airport town. There are nearly [-] bags of wheat flour, but the quantity of primary magic herbs purchased is quite considerable. I think that with such a large amount of primary magic herbs, I should try to contact the potion union.

There are also some high-grade leather collected from the Spider Warlord. I didn't sell them, and sent them directly to the leather workshop to customize the Spider Warlord's hard leather armor suit. This hard leather armor suit is considered a top-level magic pattern The substrate for the construction, if possible, I am going to equip the group of orc warriors who are caught by Karan by surprise.

However, after the victory in the war on the Hierro plane this time, there will be a large number of spoils to be disposed of privately.

Some maids appeared in the bathroom one after another holding clothes, shoes, and jewelry. The maids stood quietly in a row, waiting for Alia to change into new clothes after taking a bath. Only then did I realize that this might be the real noble life.

I put down my raised legs unnaturally, and said to Alia: "Okay, you can make an appointment for me, any time, anyway, I have plenty of time before school starts."

"Since you agree, I have received some invitations for private auctions recently, and I will pick the most interesting one." Alia raised her hand, motioning Betty to write it down.

Aliya asked me again: "Then do you have any plans for a few days, do you want to go back there?"

The 'over there' she mentioned refers to the town of Trum on the Hierro plane. Recently, Katerina has been participating in the later stage of the town's construction in the town of Trum.

Katerina advocates slowing down the town's industrialization process, giving priority to the construction of public service facilities in the town, and building Trum into a fully functional service-oriented town. This will attract some adventurers to set up their residences here, making Trum a The gathering place for adventure groups, so that these adventure groups can drive the economy of the town.

Bernd had a different idea. He hoped that the iron ore field outside the town would be developed as soon as possible to fully develop the town's industry. However, this plan was temporarily shelved after Katerina discussed with Bernd.

But I am not going to the small town of Trume today. I said to Alia: "Prince James helped me get a weapon transaction certificate. Within the limited range of weapons, I can fight with the wolves on the Pai Plateau." The orcs make some deals."

The Pai Plateau is currently facing the invasion of the undead army. I am worried that the allied forces of the orc tribes will not be able to stop the undead army from attacking, or they will suffer heavy losses in the first battle. Several wars with the undead army in the history of the Roland Continent will last for several years.

This time, the undead army of the underworld invaded the territory of the orc tribe through the psychic tower built by the liches in the death forest of the Pai Plateau, and the Pai Plateau became the main battlefield to resist the army of the undead.

Before the orc tribe sent a request for help, whether it was the Grimm Empire in the east or the dwarf kingdom in the west, I am afraid that they would stand still at this time and wait for the orc tribe to deal with it themselves.

Aliya knew about my plan to aid the orc tribe, and when I mentioned that I had applied for a license to trade weapons with the orc tribe, she was a little surprised and asked me: "Your holy silver crossbows are ready so soon? "

Recently, the magic seal workshop in Xinliu Valley not only has to maintain the daily production of the rune plate workshop in the imperial capital, but also has been supporting the war on the Hiero plane during the previous period. This war requires a large supply of magic crossbow bolts. Ellie The implication in Ya's words was: Was the magic seal workshop also producing holy silver crossbows during the battle with the Nebulu spider?
The answer is of course yes, and the holy silver crossbow bolts produced so far can already be used as the first batch of aid supplies to fill a magic airship.

Of course, not all the holy silver crossbows are on the airship. It is impossible for me to prepare so many bolts in more than a month, and I have to buy some supplies that other orc tribes are in short supply.

However, this batch of supplies is not a free aid, including ordinary holy silver giant crossbow arrows, hemostatic bandages and a batch of excellent moon blade axes, all of which require some price from the orcs to obtain.

I said to Alia: "Those holy silver crossbow arrows with magical attributes have been intercepted by me. I plan to keep these arrows. This time I want to discuss with Marvin and ask him to take those ordinary giant crossbow arrows to Pa Yi Gaoyuan made this deal with the orcs."

"What are you going to exchange for these batches of holy silver crossbow bolts?" Aliya stood up from the bath, and a maid immediately behind her helped her wrap the towel around her.

I thought about it carefully, corpse fire oil, canned luncheon meat, meat floss bricks, primary magic herbs... Since the orc tribe is at war with the undead army, magic herbs will probably be strictly controlled. If you want to buy magic herbs from the orc tribe, you should Not an easy task.

I pinched the corners of my eyes and said to Alia: "I haven't figured this out yet, what do you think I should change?"

Surrounded by a group of maids, Aliya stood in front of the mirror and changed into a tight corset, petticoat, and court-style dress. She said to me: "I think some vermicelli and other special high-end meat products should be shipped back, since you After taking charge of Qige Trading Company, almost all the tribal-style restaurants in the imperial capital can no longer be opened."

Indeed, after I managed the Qige Company, the purchase of vermicelli and some fresh ingredients has basically been suspended. The main purchases are corpse fire oil and magic herbs, followed by luncheon meat and meat floss bricks. In my opinion, these are the real ones stuff, and I happened to be able to use it in the war on the Hierro plane.

Alia and I mentioned the purchase of some ingredients in the orc tribe.

At this time, I remembered one thing, that is, there is a temporary shortage of meat in the Hierro plane. I said to Alia: "Maybe we should bring back a batch of raw meat. There is a shortage of meat in the Hierro plane. Fresh meat cannot be preserved for a long time there, and raw meat is a special product of the orc tribe, so it should be a good idea to transport it to Yero."

Raw jerky is one of the most distinctive foods of the orc tribe, but the people of the Green Empire don’t like to eat it. The main reason is that the taste is much different from that of fresh meat. Raw jerky is dry and hard, and chewing it is like chewing a piece of bark. .

Aliya turned around in confusion, and asked me: "Are you going to bring back some raw jerky from the orc tribe? Well, but I don't like eating that stuff..."

The maids are busy tying the complicated straps on the long skirt for her. I think the aristocratic clothes of the Green Empire are extremely cumbersome, and in this hot summer, such a heavy long skirt is thick and hot, very Not convenient for travel.

I rubbed my nose, thinking that when I was traveling in the Pai Plateau, I almost vomited from eating raw jerky, but now that I think of that unique food, I miss it more and more. I put on a very experienced "Actually, raw meat jerky is more of a test of chefs' cooking skills. This stuff can actually be cut into thin slices, and then... cook it with green vegetables. Do you want to try it at night? I can try it." A pea stew with raw meat and jerky.”

Aliya heard me say that she would go to the kitchen to cook in person, and she said with great interest for a while: "I don't remember that the imperial capital and El City have this recipe, and the orc tribe probably doesn't have peas. This dish is your own. Created?"

"...That's right!" I touched my nose with a guilty conscience.

At this time, a magic caravan was parked by the fountain outside the villa. I said hello to Alia and ran downstairs quickly.

The imperial capital in the Majaro crater basin comes late every morning. The people of the imperial capital are used to this kind of life of going to bed late and waking up late. It can be said that the night market in the imperial capital is so colorful, but the morning of the imperial capital is full of excitement. It looked so pale, except for the night watchmen who would run out to turn off the street lights, there were almost no people on the stone road in the third block.

On the way to Qige Commercial Company, the closer you get to the seventh block, you will find that there are more and more civilians rushing to work in the workshop. When you reach the seventh block, the streets are already full of people. , there are many small vendors on both sides of the street selling all kinds of cheap snacks, and the magic caravan can only move forward slowly in the crowd.

In my eyes, this imperial capital has only gradually become alive...
