my age of magic

Chapter 1511 61. News from Pai Plateau

On the eve of the Harvest Festival, an allied army of Constructed Knights organized by the sons of the rich and noble families of the imperial capital set off from the imperial capital, took a magic airship to the city of San Carlos, and then entered the Angela plane through the portal of the Babington family.

This is the third batch of imperial legions to reinforce Angela's multi-plane this year.

Louis finally fulfilled his wish and led ten Constructed Knights to join the Constructed Knights coalition, and left the imperial capital to go to the frontline battlefield.

This coalition has assembled a total of nearly 6 armored knights. There are about [-] knights accompanying the legion. Nearly [-] heavy armored infantry joined the logistics support group to undertake the logistics support tasks of this army. In addition, three mage groups were also included in this Constructed Knights coalition. The scale of the reinforcements this time is huge. Kirado Plane War.

Recently, some celebrities in the magic newspapers have been discussing the situation in front of the Angela multi-plane. Most of the nobles think that Prince Charlie has led the most elite Royal Knights to manage the Angela multi-plane painstakingly for more than a year. At present, the Green Empire Army and the Nacoma Legion should be evenly matched in terms of strength. Therefore, once the luxurious reinforcements organized by the rich and noble families enter the Angela multi-plane, they will definitely win the Angela multi-plane. .

These noble sons who are expected to become Lord Dukes in the future can not only show their loyalty to His Royal Highness Charlie, but also come to Angela to pick the fruits, which originally belonged to the Babington family and His Royal Highness Charles shared the fruits of victory.

The day before departure, I prepared all the single-attribute magic crossbows needed by Louis, and delivered them to the Emerald Bay Trading Company in person.

According to Ander, the manager of the firm, Louis probably arrived at the airport town this morning, and he should be on the magic airship at this time.

Before Louis left, he had explained in detail that once the firm received these single-attribute magic crossbows, it must define these supplies as military supplies with the highest priority waiting to be delivered. Unexpectedly, Louis left in such a hurry. His Majesty Charles wanted to pull His Majesty Charles out of the quagmire of the plane war as soon as possible.

Of course, in addition to providing Louis with a batch of single-attribute magic crossbow bolts, I also promised to supply 7000 marching rations.

These marching rations consisted of canned luncheon meat and bricks of meat floss. Many soldiers of the Grimm Empire firmly believed that eating these foods from the orc tribe on the Pai Plateau would make people braver. It was probably influenced by the victory of the Hierro plane war. The rumor has been derived into several versions in the imperial capital. It is obviously nonsense, and it can no longer be controlled after it spreads. There are a lot of people who believe it.

Louis didn't believe it, but some of his constructed knights couldn't help believing that the price of this kind of marching ration was not much more expensive than the regular marching ration of the Grimm Empire, and it was even slightly cheaper when it wasn't on sale before, so Louis decided to still buy it. Purchase some.

During this period of time, canned luncheon meat and pork floss bricks wrapped in oiled paper were out of stock in major grocery stores in the imperial capital. Although magic airships arrived at the airport town from Gludin Town on the Pai Plateau every week, these came from The imported goods of the orc tribe are still in short supply. Many magic merchants are waiting at the gate of Qige Trading Company. In order to get a good seat, they even sleep in the van. After all, it is autumn in the imperial capital and the weather is getting colder. They live in magic caravans. Sleeping on the streets is not a good feeling.

The airship brought luncheon meat, pork floss bricks and magic parchment from Gludin City, and then transported wheat flour, whetstones and daily necessities from the imperial capital to Gludin City.

Marvin sent holy silver crossbow arrows to the orcs on the Pai Plateau, and brought back a whole ship of corpse fire oil from Gludin City.

In the past few months, he and Spei basically lived in the cabin of the magic airship for more than half of the time. Marvin said that he was tired of watching the sunrise and sunset, the magic airship floating above the sea of ​​clouds, along the Flying in the northwest wind belt, sometimes staying in the cabin for a few days, as long as you don’t get seasick, the days of this kind of travel are very comfortable.

The second batch of holy silver crossbow arrows has been stored in the warehouse of Qige Trading Company. Marvin and Spei went to Pai Plateau again, but I stopped them. Now that the orcs we have contacted with Gludin City have established Contact, even if this business route is opened up, there is absolutely no need for Marvin to travel back and forth between the two cities so hard. There are many managers in the business bank, so it is completely useless to find someone who is smarter to transport these holy silver crossbows. question.

I sat with Noah and Marvin in a restaurant in the food street on the west side of the Royal Academy of Magic, looking at the passers-by on the street through the glass curtain wall. Marvin talked about this trip to the orc tribe: "Almost all tribes After recruiting orc warriors to fight in the Death Forest, the orc tribes on the edge of the Death Forest have begun to migrate to the northern foothills wasteland. They need to settle down the tribal camp before the first snow falls, and they also need a lot of living materials, wood, cold-proof blankets, and heating Fuel and more."

I know that the ultimate restrictions on the migration of the orc tribes are the tents and heating fuel for cold protection, and the vast pastures for cattle and sheep to eat.

The Death Forest is located at the foot of the southern foothills of the Pai Plateau. Although the southern foothills on the Pai Plateau will block all the south winds from the Salta Province of the Green Empire, the winter at the edge of the Death Forest in the southern Pai Plateau is not It's sad, even in the coldest season, you can still find hay for cattle and sheep to eat in some valleys, which is obviously different from the wilderness at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau.

The Uturu River crosses the northern footlands. Although the water and grass along the Uturu River are beautiful, heavy snow will cover the entire northern footlands in winter. All the grasslands are covered with thick snow, and large groups of cattle and sheep can hardly Spend the long winters in the northern footlands.

Although a large amount of cheap food such as wheat flour has been transported to the orc tribe recently, the supplies that the magic airship can transport there are still very limited.

Hearing that the orc tribe will continue to migrate to the northern foot wasteland, I know that this winter will not be easy for the orc tribe.

"What countermeasures do the orcs in Gludin City have?" I frowned and asked.

I spread a map of magic parchment on the table, and used a charcoal pencil to heavily paint a shadow near the dead forest.

Marvin was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "Now there is a call from the orc tribe to fight the undead to the end. A large number of orc warriors are gathering to the south, and only the orc girls and children will move north."

The reason why the forest of death is so called is because there are undead creatures hidden in the forest.

I said to Marvin: "The undead army invaded the Pai Plateau. The vanguard should be the cannon fodder army composed of skeletons and zombies. The orc tribe should accumulate some supplies when they wipe out this part of the undead army."

I don't know when Marvin learned to smoke. Judging by the posture he picked up the pipe, it should not be too short. He stuffed the walnut pipe with thin shreds of tobacco, then struck a match to ignite the cigarette, and pressed it hard. After taking three puffs in a row, the red sparks on the shredded tobacco spread all of a sudden.

He coughed lightly, and then said to me: "You're right, don't you see that I brought back a whole boatload of dead oil? Where do you think these dead oils came from? Is it the swamp zombies over there? Let me tell you, there hasn’t been a large wave of corpses over there in the past few years. It should be that the swamp zombies over there have been cleaned up. Some time ago, even the corpse fire of the orc tribe There is also an extreme shortage of oil, isn't it because of the scarcity of swamp zombies?"

Under the smog, he looked more energetic, and then he said to me: "Now! As you can see, I brought back a whole boatload of corpse oil. These are zombies crawling out of the dead forest Refined corpse oil."

So I said, "So, there shouldn't be a shortage of magic crystals in the orc tribe?"

"What do you think? Could it be..." Seeing that I suddenly mentioned the magic spar, Ma Wen immediately understood my plan. The text board was transported to the Pai Plateau and sold to the orc tribe over there?"

I nodded and said: "Once those orc tribes migrate, the dry cow dung accumulated in the summer will definitely not be able to take away. If the new camp does not have enough fuel, I don't know how many orcs will freeze to death in this severe winter. These copper hot pots At least they won’t freeze to death, but the premise is that these orc tribes must have enough magic crystals, otherwise these copper hot pots will be transported there, no different from ordinary iron pots.”

On the desolate Pai Plateau, dried cow dung is a daily fuel for most orcs. The orcs will pick up the cow dung on the pasture in summer to dry, and wait until winter for heating. Eat raw meat in summer, but you can't live without fire in winter.

Marvin frowned, and said to me: "I don't know about other places in the Pai Plateau, but the magic spar in Gludin City is also very devalued. I basically barter there, and I have Considering whether to exchange some magic spar back, but considering that the Green Empire is also flooded with magic spar, and it has been depreciating continuously, so I didn’t pay attention to this information.”

He looked out of the window, this food street is also full of colorful flags, all the street lamps are painted with a layer of colorful oil paint, some shops hung some colorful lights on the plaques early, Marvin said:

"The Harvest Festival is coming soon. It is estimated that in order to celebrate the grand festival, the lords of all parties will definitely launch some actions against the dark forces of the deep prison. It is also a headache to say. Everyone in the empire is looking forward to the plane. The news of victory can be sent back online, but the lords and merchants who hold a large number of magic crystals do not want to hear news of victory frequently. Plane wars can be won, so it is best not to publish information, because once the information is released from all planes Successive news of victory means that there will be a large amount of magic spar pouring into the magic market of the Grimm Empire, causing the magic spar in the imperial capital to continue to depreciate."

I rubbed my nose and said to Marvin:
"Get ready. Except for the holy silver crossbow bolts, the other cargo compartments of this magic airship are loaded with copper hot pots and concentrated fire rune plates. The copper hot pot and 'focused fire' rune plates on Murray's side are up to me. Come coordinate."

Noah was sitting on the side, listening quietly to Marvin and I discussing the trade with the orcs. He couldn't help but hear that in addition to the Holy Silver Crossbow, I also wanted to support a large number of copper hot pots to the orc tribe. Exclaimed:
"Jijia, you really spare no effort in supporting the orc tribe on the Pai Plateau."

I smiled and didn't explain much.

Yingli, Shirley Newman, Spee, Helena and Becky were sitting at another table playing cards. They didn't participate in our conversation. Originally, I made an appointment with Alia to have afternoon tea together. , but Yingli's magic experiment class in the afternoon just happened to be postponed until tomorrow, and he was going to go with me to the hillside herb plantation on the unnamed island to collect magic herbs, so he waited for me at the restaurant.

It has long been no secret that I traveled with caravans when I was a child. It was Qige who had trade relations with the orcs of the Pai Plateau. She opened up this trade route and almost monopolized the imported products of the Pai Plateau orc tribe in the imperial capital. It's just to help her manage the business, and it's normal to provide some shortage materials to the orcs.

After finalizing the next thing with Marvin, I rushed to the unnamed island with Ying Li to collect those magical herbs that had entered the mature stage. Recently, Ying Li has also transplanted some to the unnamed island plantation. Seedlings of magic herbs, almost every day go to the unnamed island to observe those seedlings of magic herbs, and at the same time use the limited time to do collection work.

And at this time, I will take out some design drawings given to me by Yerkes scholars, and continue to draw these magic circles on the magic parchment.

Yerkes scholars always like to make some temporary changes to their magic designs. This is a very taboo thing for inscribers. The depth and other requirements of writing are very strict. Once the inherent pattern is formed, it will not be easily changed. A slight change may cause the magic pattern circle to fail. The new magic pattern circle must go through repeated experiments to succeed. It will be a very long process.

This kind of thing is very boring, but I am used to it, and I have already figured out the law of evolution of some magic runes.

When I came to the door of the Yerkes Scholar’s ​​Laboratory at night, I happened to see Lord Bruce’s magic assistant waiting for me on the laboratory terrace. He saw me coming up from the steps, stood up and smiled at me before saying, “The Marquis of Moxiang is here. Lord Bruce, Lord Bruce heard that you wanted the Marquis of Moxiang, so he sent me to invite you..."
