my age of magic

Chapter 1506 56. Rune Board Market

Earl Konrad transported thirty boxes of double-attribute giant crossbow bolts from the warehouse located in the third block of the imperial capital. These giant crossbow bolts will be sent to the battlefield on the Luoqi plane.

Since dual-attribute magic crossbows have become an important factor for the victory of the imperial army in the war of planes, a large number of giant crossbows have sprung up in the magic market of the imperial capital. There are many types of magic crossbows, and the prices are relatively high. The magic market The most common single-attribute magic crossbow sold by merchants sells for around [-] silver coins in batches, which is almost three times the price of those single-attribute magic crossbows I sell, and the price of dual-attribute magic crossbows even reaches a magic spar.

The lords on the side of the imperial capital have appealed to the magic union to lower the prices of magic crossbows and magic potions for such expensive armaments, otherwise those little lords will be even more afraid of plane wars, 'failure in a war is equal to The concept of 'bankruptcy' is deeply rooted in people's minds today.

A few months ago, when the Grimm Empire lacked the assistance of temple priests, if the lords wanted to launch a battle, they not only needed to invest in weapons and equipment and build knights, but also needed to prepare sufficient life potions before the battle. The selling price of the potion has remained high, and these life potions are therefore a heavy burden for the lords.

But now, although the Grimm Empire's plane wars have won successive victories, the situation of excessive resource consumption has not improved in any way, but has become more and more serious. The investment keeps rising, and the 'giant magic crossbow' came into the sight of the noble lords under such circumstances.

First, they shined brilliantly in the war on the Hiero plane, and then helped the Prince of Wales defeat the Nacoma. There are general signs that the bed crossbows produced by the Grimm Empire Armament Workshop can no longer meet the needs of plane wars. These bed crossbows It needs to be matched with stronger crossbow arrows to exert greater power.

My single-attribute giant magic crossbow is priced at [-] silver coins each. The ultra-low price made Earl Connard worry that someone would get there first. In the face of war, that does not prevent the lords from hoarding these magic crossbows in their hands, even if they resell them for a difference, they can make a lot of money.

This time, Earl Connard saw a large number of holy silver crossbow bolts I prepared for the Pai Plateau orc tribe in the warehouse. Seeing the magic luster flowing on those crossbow bolts, Earl Connard couldn't help asking me about these holy silver crossbow bolts. The price, in fact, although these holy silver crossbow bolts look dazzling, and more than half of the giant crossbow arrows look radiant, but in fact the price I set is much lower than I imagined.

The orcs just need to plate a layer of thorium on the blade edge of the weapon. When the thorium touches the undead, it will burn the soul fire in their body. Thorium layer, but in fact, more than half of these giant crossbow arrows are ordinary without magic effects, and the other half are single attributes with one of the two magic effects of 'sharpness' and 'penetration' Giant crossbow arrows.

It is precisely because of the surge in demand for giant crossbow arrows that the demand for black iron arrows in the magic seal workshop has also risen sharply recently. Earl Robert, the boss of Duisburg, often complained to Alia, explaining that the production capacity of the blacksmith workshop was already saturated, and there was no way to increase orders anyway.

As the news of the third price reduction of primary magic rune boards spread in the imperial capital magic market, this news completely plunged the rune market into an embarrassing situation. The price gap between traditional magic rune boards and new-style magic rune boards Increased again, which directly led to the two traditional magic rune boards of 'Fire Gathering' and 'Miniature Tornado', which were unprofitable in the hands of rune merchants, and many rune workshop bosses were forced to terminate these two magic runes Board related orders.

According to the original words of the magic merchant: The red copper magic rune tablet is so cheap that it doesn't make sense!

Afterwards, the Magic Workshop successively launched magic table lamps with copper statue lamp holders. Although these magic table lamps are not satisfactory in terms of energy saving, the strong artistic sense of the copper lamp holders and the effect of the "twilight lighting" magic The visual impact attracted the attention of many aristocrats with petty bourgeois sentiments. In just one week, [-] magic table lamps were sold out.

Murray then ordered [-] additional lamp holders for magic table lamps from the copperware workshop. Unfortunately, each of these copper portrait lamp holders is handcrafted by coppersmiths, and the production capacity is greatly restricted. Merchants still had to queue up to pick up the goods from the rune workshop. The tighter the magic lamps were, the better the feedback from the market would be.

……

The busiest commercial street in the fifth block houses several of the most famous buildings in the Imperial Capital, including the Imperial Capital Auction House, the Royal Opera House, the Royal Holiday Hotel, the Magic Teleportation Hall, the Arena, etc. At the same time, this street also has The largest department store in the imperial capital, this commercial department store covers an area of ​​nearly ten acres, and is divided into eight floors. grocery store'.

The boss is said to be a legendary figure. Noah said that he is a duke with a very high comprehensive strength in the Green Empire. The row of gargoyle statues on the roof of the building are the guardian beasts of their family. The main entrance of the department store There are also patterns of gargoyles printed on the door leaf.

As the Harvest Festival approached, the streets of the fifth block were also replaced with colorful lanterns. Many buildings were decorated with colorful flags. There were obviously more pedestrians on the street than ever before, and the streets and alleys were bustling.

Noah, Senior Vernon and I were sitting on the stone railing of the road across the street from the Imperial Department Store, staring with interest at the crowds coming in and out of the department store.

In two months, the imperial capital will usher in a cold winter. Last winter, three huge snowstorms almost completely paralyzed the traffic in the imperial capital. For winter storage, in addition to warm clothes, food and fuel that are easy to store are also essential. Not only that, but also many people in the imperial capital specially went to the department store to buy copper hot pots, which can be used for both cooking and cooking. Magical items that warm the house are very popular among the people of the imperial capital.

After the retail price of copper hot pots fell below [-] silver coins, the imperial capital once again ushered in the upsurge of buying copper hot pots. The department store in front of you is the place with the largest shipments of copper hot pots, and the sales of exhaust fans are also showing a clear upward trend. But I, Nuo Yan, Senior Vernon, and I gathered here for another commodity.

The streets are crowded with people, and people pass by us from time to time. It is very common to see young nobles wearing magic robes and knight leather armor like us on the street. People seem to be used to the existence of us.

Shirley Newman ran out of the department store with his maid, quickly crossed the street, and ran to Noah panting.

"How's the sales at the counter?" Noah couldn't wait to ask Shirley Newman.

"It's not bad. I've been observing there for about an hour, and about 30 units have been sold." Shirley Newman's nose was dripping with sweat, her face was flushed, probably because she was squeezed into the crowd. Squeeze away and run for a short distance.

"Hey, it seems that someone likes our design!" Noah cheered, and then gave Senior Vernon a high-five.

Senior Vernon's eyes were also bright, and he said very boldly: "Of course, although the oven we made is a bit more expensive, there are 'lava surge' magic rune plates on all sides of the oven wall, which not only heats evenly, but also greatly The cooking time has been shortened, we have been busy with this oven for a whole summer, isn't the demonstration at the summer festival a success?"

For Noah, he felt very fresh and excited that the oven jointly designed by him and Senior Vernon could be sold well in department stores.

Although this income was nothing to Noah, it made his face flush with a sense of accomplishment.

Noah rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and said to Senior Vernon: "That's not the same, it was just a magic concept we put forward before, but now we have made this oven into a product, and the people of the Imperial City are famous Picky. Originally, I thought that if this kind of oven was not popular in the Imperial City, then I would bring it back to the province of Palestina and promote it in the cities of Ignace and Galapagos first. The oven should be very suitable for grilling seafood, I didn't expect the response in the imperial capital to be so good!"

I was a little helpless and reminded next to me:

"Hey, let me tell you two... In addition to the hot sales of this magic oven, should we properly consider trying to control the cost as much as possible? The oven with four 'Lava Surge' magic rune plates only sells for seventy silver coins. The price is the same as those ovens that only have a magic rune plate at the bottom, which in itself is a big shock to other similar ovens on the market.”

In fact, Noah and Senior Vernon designed the custom-made 'lava surge' magic rune plate for this oven, which was re-improved by Yerkes scholars.

Yerkes scholars have simply optimized the magic circle, so these rune plates also have energy-saving magic elements in them.

The magic seal workshop has specially set aside a magic engraving machine for this kind of rune board, which is specially designed to print this kind of elementary 'lava surge' magic rune board.

Noah touched his nose with his fingers, and said to me with a hey smile: "The positioning is at this price, didn't everyone discuss it before..."

Senior Vernon also put his hand on my shoulder very enthusiastically at this time, and said to me with a smile: "Yeah, I think Jijia is right in what you said, the fastest way to open up the situation in the magic market , is to make everyone familiar with it and pay attention to it!"

I'm worried that this kind of dumping will make other rune plate workshops that make magic ovens complain. I originally made the magic market full of gunpowder recently...

Shirley Newman didn't intervene, and said at this time: "And at this price, it's not like we don't have a little profit margin. At most, we can earn a little less!"

Hearing Shirley Newman talk about the production cost, Noah finally reacted, and asked me with some seriousness: "Could it be that every time you make a 'Lava Surge', you will lose some money?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Do you think I'm sending you money?"

"That's not going to happen, I'm not short of money!" Noah reacted all of a sudden, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Jijia, your rune workshop is really powerful. These days, the magic newspapers are all about Talk about it..."

There are people coming and going on the street, I don't want to say this here, so I said: "This is not the place to talk about these things, or we can find a place where we can have a drink and sit down for Noah and Senior Vernon." Let's celebrate, congratulations on designing the first magic item that is so popular in the magic market!"

Noah responded positively: "Well, why not go to the back street of the Tower of Pride..."

We temporarily rented a magic caravan, first took the magic caravan back to the Royal Academy of Magic, and after picking up Yingli from the academy, we rushed all the way to the back street of the Tower of Pride. Yingli heard that we were in the middle of the day About to go to the bar to drink, the expression on his face looked very helpless.

As the free market on the Plaza of the Tower of Pride became more and more prosperous, the back streets of the Tower of Pride also became lively. This place has become a place for the magicians of the imperial capital to relax. We randomly found a room at the corner of the street. The bar that was still open during the day asked the coachman to stop the magic caravan on the side of the road. After being warmly received by the bar waiter, they filed into the bar.

Ying Li and I were at the end, discussing in a low voice about the collection of magic herbs by five small islands. Since the 'hourglass of time' can only be turned on for one hour a day, and in the magic herb plantation in the belly of the small island, Jin Thorngrass and sungrass have entered the mature stage one after another, so we have to find time to collect them, so the time given to us by the 'hourglass of time' is not enough.

Ying Li spent more than an hour in the afternoon after school for a week in a row, and entered the herb plantation on the unnamed island through the portal to collect herbs. In fact, he had already collected fourteen large magic sealing boxes. If the herbs are not disposed of, they need to buy some magic sealing boxes.

Both Ying Li and I want to refine these magical herbs into high-quality life potions through the mission entrusted by the potion union, or hoard them, or sell them directly to the South Wind Army. Currency, no matter which legion logistics department will never have too much.

It's just that when I was walking down from the carriage, I suddenly saw a familiar figure, so I stopped, and instead of following Senior Vernon into the bar in front, I turned my head and looked at the benches on the street... …
