my age of magic

Chapter 1504 54. Wings
The Yerkes scholar published a paper on energy-saving magic this summer, and this paper caused a lot of repercussions in the imperial capital's magic circle.

Many magic merchants from rune plate workshops approached Yerkes Scholar, hoping to buy rune plate design blueprints related to energy-saving magic from him.

The Yerkes scholar did not cherish his broom for this. He shared these rune board designs with the magic merchants, and he also stated that he would not charge any fees. He also reminded these magic merchants that the energy-saving magic rune boards will be It becomes cheaper, and how to control the cost more effectively will make it possible for the energy-saving magic rune board produced by the rune workshop to continue better.

Some magic merchants think Yerkes scholars are too pessimistic about the magic rune board market. This is mainly because the Babington family has entered the low-end magic rune board market after this summer. The decision brought great confidence to the magic merchants. Everyone believed that the price of the blank rune tablets made by the Babington family would become the wind vane of low-end magic rune tablets. Designed energy-saving magic, think that this series of magic rune boards has a bright future in the magic market.

After autumn, a wide variety of energy-saving magic table lamps gradually appeared in the magic market in the imperial capital. It is said that a certain magic merchant has already received a large order for magic street lamps in the fifth block of the imperial capital, and became a hot topic in the magic newspapers for a while. .

"In the past two months, I have tried to use various methods to draw this 'Energy Gathering Magic Ring' magic circle, but I have never succeeded!" Scholar Yerkes sat in front of the test bench, gently stroking the metal talisman in front of him Wenban said with a bit of admiration.

The magic materials scattered in the corners of his laboratory were neatly tidied up, which was not his style.

There is a stack of rune boards on the test bench. Although the magic patterns drawn on them are meticulous, and even every turning point is exactly the same, these rune boards do not have the mana vortex that can only be formed after the successful drawing of the energy-gathering magic ring. , which appear to be some abandoned rune tablets.

Regarding the mysterious rune board, I don't know the origin of it. I only learned two associated magic patterns on it, and I already feel that it has benefited a lot.

Hearing what the Yerkes scholar said, I guess he is also trying to decipher the accompanying magic pattern recently, but it seems that he has not succeeded, so I said: "Speaking of 'energy-gathering magic ring' and 'mana recovery', after all, there are still some problems. It’s different, the magic weave line of the ‘Energy Gathering Magic Ring’ is too complicated.”

Scholar Yerkes smiled wryly, and then asked me: "When will you come back to help me? I want to try to simplify the associated magic pattern of the 'Energy Gathering Magic Ring'."

I figured it out, and asked the Yerkes scholar: "There should be some time recently, but what about the orders for the magic pattern construction?"

By the way, the Yerkes scholar holds some orders for the magic pattern structures of 'Power of the Bear' and 'Earth Shield' and they are about to expire. I need some time to draw these magic pattern structures. Well, drawing nearly a hundred sets of magic pattern structures is not something that can be done overnight.

The Yerkes scholar pondered for a while, and then said: "Let's take some time to make some first, and the time is almost up to the delivery date."

"..." It seems that he wants to do a lot of things recently.

I calculated that I would probably be in the imperial capital all the time, and said to the Yerkes scholar: "Then I will try to spend as much time as possible these days!"

……

It was already afternoon when we left the Yerkes scholar's magic laboratory.

He rushed to the teaching office of the Royal Academy of Magic to sell his leave without stopping, and he was inevitably questioned by the director of the teaching office, Mr. Freeman. In the final analysis, it was because of the letter from Prince James, so this time the leave was sold relatively smoothly.

After passing the square in front of the teaching building of the college, many magic students who knew me all set their eyes on me.

A group of familiar faces from the Imperial Capital Gang gathered next to the group statues of the fountain. When these people saw me passing by the pool, they turned their faces away one after another. Some magical students even showed hostility towards me. The Academy of Magic is already well known. .

Ivan and Diego were also among them, and they just pretended not to see me.

I don't have time to talk to them. It is said that the rune tablet workshop of Ivan and Diego has closed down before the start of school.

However, it seems that the two of them were not affected by this. On the contrary, after getting rid of such a big burden, the two of them are in a much better mental state.The Inscription Society of the Royal Academy of Magic has always been controlled by the imperial gang in the academy.

At the beginning of the school year, they will also recruit some magic students who are good at inscriptions in the academy.

Walking into the teaching building, I didn't go back to the classroom to attend class, but sneaked to meditate under the magic tower on the top of the teaching building.

Although the college clearly stipulates that the magic students of the college are not allowed to stay on the roof of the teaching building, one of the famous seven magic towers in the imperial capital is located on the roof of the teaching building of the Royal Academy of Magic. Thunder elements are added to the defensive magic matrix below the imperial capital. The biggest function of this magic matrix is ​​to 'forbid air'. It is said that this magic matrix has other functions. I once asked Scholar Xiao En, and he told me these It belongs to the secrets that only the upper echelons of the Imperial Capital Magic Union have the authority to know.

Standing on the roof of the teaching building, feeling the bursts of lightning power transmitted from the magic tower, the entire roof of the teaching building is filled with rich thunder elements, and even some arcs are often generated in the air, and after jumping out of thin air, a " After a crackling sound like popping beans, it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

I sat cross-legged on the roof of the teaching building, putting myself in a space full of thunder elements, feeling the thunder elements around my body, and soon a natural magic vortex gathered around my body, and then a large amount of thunder element mana was like a sea tide The same poured into my body, and at this moment, I clearly felt an inexplicable numbness all over my body.

After the scapula on the right side is fused with the seeds of thunder, the body has a certain ability to resist the power of thunder and lightning. After the mana of the thunder element enters the body, it quickly fills the scapula.

That feeling is like a traveler who has been thirsty for a long time in the desert and walked into an oasis, and found that there is a pool of clear lake water in the center of the oasis, so I was in the lake water, and let the clear lake water wrap me... …Countless thunderbolts rushed down from the high tower like wild horses running wild, hitting my body in waves. I felt that my body might be burned to ashes by these thunderstorms at any time.

At this moment, I actually entered a very mysterious realm again. The right shoulder blade seems to have become a certain core, and the whole bone is completely composed of the power of lightning. After arriving at my body, I actually found that under the nourishment of abundant lightning power, some changes occurred in my right shoulder blade. The shoulder blade made of thunder elements seemed to be growing slowly, and arcs of electricity wove into a circle behind me. Zhang grid...

No, that's not a power grid!
My magical perception spreads in the space behind me, and the outline formed by those electric arcs is a wing!

This wing woven with electric elements continuously gathers the mana of the thunder element, and it spreads to one side behind me. Wings, my body seemed to be supported by an invisible force, my feet left the roof of the teaching building and floated up, but because of one wing, I couldn't keep my balance in the air.

The next moment I forcibly interrupted my meditation, the vortex around my body disappeared in an instant, and the full power of the thunder element was injected into the magic matrix of the imperial capital along with the magic tower, and the floating state disappeared suddenly, and then I fell on the roof. The one that just floats up is only one meter high.

I didn't get hurt when I fell, but I was really taken aback.

Lying on the roof, you can avoid the thunder elements floating in the air. Although the surrounding thunder elements are still very strong, at least those thunder elements are not as wild as when you sit on the roof meditating. The wings woven by electric arcs disappeared without a trace.

The body is refilled with thunder element mana, this is the purpose of my coming here.

Although I have meditated dozens of times on the roof of the teaching building, every time I do it is thrilling.

I have to say that this is the place with the most abundant thunder element in the imperial capital. If I want to quickly restore the mana of the thunder element in my body, I can only come here.

After I left here, the roof returned to calm.

……

Opened the portal to Xinliu Valley again.

This time, I finally don't have to worry that the portal may be closed at any time due to the exhaustion of the thunder element's mana.

As the female half-orc carried out the whole box of supplies, the warehouse on the side of the imperial capital was once again full of magic rune boards and magic-weave spider silk ingots, in addition to the whole box of giant crossbow arrows And holy silver crossbow bolts.

Regarding these magic crossbow arrows mixed with magic black iron, the former needs to be supplied to the South Wind Legion first. I have already negotiated with Earl Connard on this matter. There will be a magic caravan from the South Wind Legion’s logistics and munitions department arriving tomorrow morning. Come here to pick up.

As for the latter, nearly eighty boxes of holy silver crossbow arrowheads are to be transported to the Pai Plateau to support the orcs over there, but they can only be placed in the warehouse here.

The undead army is gathering near the death forest on the Pai Plateau. If the orcs want to organize an army to resist the undead army, they must need these holy silver crossbows.

Marvin and Spei haven't returned from their trip to the Pai Plateau. There is no more suitable person to receive these holy silver crossbow arrows. They can only be stored in the warehouse here, or they can be transported to the Qige Trading Company sometime. side to go.

According to the previous orders, the North Duisburg blacksmith workshop stocked up a large amount of copper plate substrates and black iron arrowheads. It took a whole afternoon before the female half-orcs moved them back to Xinliu Valley. After returning to Xinliu Valley this time, the orc warriors also took on part of the moving work, so the moving work is more efficient than before.

Aliya was wearing a silver court dress, standing at the door of the warehouse and asked Betty: "Have you notified Murray to come pick up the goods?"

Betty is used to holding an account book during the day, and when she heard Aliya's question, she immediately answered:
"A notification has been sent."

Aliya told the maid Betty again: "Betty, you stay here, remember to deliver all these magic rune boards to Murray, let him transport all the goods tonight, and make sure to empty the warehouse. North Duisburg still has a large batch of rune plate substrates to be sent in tomorrow. Robert has sent managers to urge him several times. We can't always occupy the temporary turnover of the North Duisburg blacksmith workshop. storehouse."

Betty listened carefully to what Aliya said, and then replied: "Understood, master."

After Aliya gave these instructions, she boarded a magic caravan with me. She sat on the soft leather sofa in the car and said to me with a smile: "In the past few days, I heard that the gate of the rune board workshop is Almost blocked by the magic merchants, Murray would come to my place almost every day to urge the goods, if you don't come back, that guy will probably be driven crazy by the group of magic merchants."

I reached for the teapot on the table, poured myself a glass of water, and drank it down in one gulp.

It's okay when I don't drink water, but I feel more hungry after drinking a cup of tea.

Only then did I realize that I missed lunch at noon, and it was dusk in a blink of an eye. Apart from eating a few pieces of white bread in the castle of the lakeside manor in the morning, I hardly ate anything else that day.

Many times Aliya would prepare some pastries and biscuits on the small table in the carriage, but I didn't see it at the moment, and there was a light gurgle in my stomach.

I rubbed my stomach helplessly, and said to Aliya: "Sorry, we were trapped on an unnamed island for seven days this time, and there is really no way to get back!"

Alicia stretched out her arms and dug out a plate of shortbread from the cabinet on the side of the carriage, and put it in front of me with a subtle smile. She could always accurately read what was going on in my mind, and most of the time, I didn’t need to say it at all. .

Her lips were as bright red as rose petals. When she smiled, she showed delicate white teeth. Her lips drew a graceful arc, and she said, "Why are you saying sorry for no reason? You went to Haiyuan City and saw those mermaids." gone?"

"Please! Aren't all the women of the Jana Sea Clan mermaids?" I was a little speechless, I didn't expect her to pay attention to this at this time.

"Aren't those mermaids really beautiful?" Aliya asked insistently.

I shrugged my shoulders and replied lightly: "I never thought these Janna mermaids with human bodies and fish tails were so pleasing to the eye... Some mermaids also have scales on their upper bodies. If you look at them too much, you will think they are descendants of snake people It's really no different."

In fact, I really don't like those Janna mermaids, especially after the incident of Princess Ariel, I think the Janna people are a group of very insidious guys, and I don't want to deal with them unless necessary.

Aliya asked me, and I told the truth...
