my age of magic

Chapter 1559 109. Snow Street Story
The humid air flow from the endless sea meets the cold wind from the ice and snow tundra, and the imperial capital receives several heavy snowfalls every year.

Senior Vernon spent all his time in the magic laboratory these days except for the normal magic class.

Alchemy does not mean that you can refine the magic metal you need with the formula. Alchemists also need a lot of experiments to gain valuable experience. Fortunately, what I need is a relatively cheap red copper solution. Magic red copper ingots are available in the imperial capital It is very cheap in the magic market, even if it fails, it will not waste a lot of money.

A week later, Noah excitedly ran to the second floor of the library and told me that Senior Vernon had mastered the refining method of red copper solution.

I came to the laboratory of the Royal Academy of Magic with Noah, and saw Senior Vernon, whose eyes were bloodshot, squatting in front of the test bench, pouring the red copper solution in the crucible into a glass vessel. He saw me and Noah opened the door and walked in, shook his fist excitedly at me and said, "Jijia, I finally succeeded in refining a pot of magic solution."

One side of the magic laboratory is full of magic red copper ingots, and the iron box on the other side is filled with messy copper scraps. There is also a folding bed in the corner of the magic laboratory. It seems that he is Living in a magic lab, his magic robes had some red copper solution on them, making him look like a sleazy painter.

I walked over and stirred it in the crucible with a thorium spoon. The consistency was not bad, but there were some unmelted red copper fragments in it.

"This solution needs to be filtered." I fished out the residue with a spoon, and put forward my opinion to Senior Vernon.

Although there are four exhaust fans working at the same time in the room, it is still full of strong sulfur smell, spicy and pungent, and there is a slight tingling on the face.

Senior Vernon came to my side, used tweezers to pick out the red copper fragments in the solution, wiped off the red copper solution on it, observed it carefully, and said to me: "This problem is not difficult to solve. There is no suitable sieve here in the laboratory. Tomorrow I will send someone to the magic material trading hall to buy a few pieces. However, it is not possible to completely melt these red copper ingots for the time being, except that the purity of these magic red copper needs to be improved. In addition, these red copper ingots need to be made into egg-sized spheres, but I will work towards the direction of complete melting."

Noah wrapped a silk scarf around his face, leaned close to Senior Vernon, and happily said to him: "I knew you would be able to do it." It was as if he was the one who succeeded in the experiment.

Senior Vernon also put his arms around Noah's shoulders. If it wasn't for Noah already having Shirley Newman, I would feel that there might be something ulterior between the two of them.Senior Vernon said to Noah and me: "Next, I want to try two crucibles to refine the red copper solution at the same time to see if it is feasible. Although the No. [-] crucible is a little smaller, it is better to control it."

I also want to talk to Senior Vernon about the magic red copper. At this time, Noah suggested: "Hey, I said... Since it has been successful, shouldn't we go out and celebrate?"

The door outside the magic laboratory was pushed open. Shirley Newman poked her head out of the door and saw Noah inside, so she waved to him and signaled her to wait outside.

It seems that it is impossible to stay in the laboratory. Now that Senior Vernon has successfully taken the first step, the following things may be easier, so I said to Senior Vernon: "You lock yourself in After so many days in the lab, it's time to go out and get some fresh air."

Saying that, Noah helped Senior Vernon take out a clean magic robe, and Senior Vernon also quickly walked to the corner, wiped his face with a towel, quickly changed into a clean magic robe, and followed us out of the magic laboratory .

In the corridor of the laboratory, there are many magic students waiting for the experimental class. It seems that the laboratories of the Royal Academy of Magic are also very limited. I don't know how Senior Vernon got such a magic laboratory.

We went downstairs along the stairs on the side of the corridor, and I asked Senior Vernon: "Hello, how is your relationship with Miss Biana going?"

Senior Vernon spread his hands and said calmly: "We haven't been in touch for about a week. Don't you understand what the aristocrats here in the imperial capital want? If I have some family background, she still has She may marry me willingly, but she knows that I am from a commoner family, so she naturally hopes that I can join her family, which is also the most important condition for her to be willing to associate with me."

It looks like Senior Vernon and Miss Bianna haven't seen each other since that bar drinking session.

"So what do you think?" I asked him.

Senior Vernon stopped in his tracks and said to me: "Joining a noble family may give me a glorious life, but at the same time I will lose the most precious freedom, so I refused."

This kind of thinking is common among magician nobles. Many magicians hope to find a beautiful and gentle noble lady who has received traditional education, but they don't want to be bound by the family behind this noble lady. The inherited aristocratic family hopes to absorb some magicians so as to continuously improve the family bloodline, so both sides are unwilling to give in on the most basic conditions.

We walked out of the laboratory building. Shirley Newman was chatting with a group of friends in the corridor below the laboratory building. Seeing Noah come out, she hurriedly said goodbye to her friends.

The square in front of the main teaching building of the college was covered with a thick layer of snow, and only a few passages were opened for people to walk along the corridor. Along the way, I met some magic students from the Imperial Capital Gang. They passed me by. Every now and then, they all guarded me vigilantly, and no one dared to speak in front of me.
Recently at the Royal Academy of Magic, I seldom see people like Diego, Ivan, and Jimmy, and the magic students of the Imperial Capital Gang seem to be much more low-key.

……

Our group did not take the magic caravan, walked along the Yonglu through the gate on the west side of the college to the food street,

Noah recommended to us a restaurant on this street that specializes in Palestina-style grilled fish. Shirley Newman held Noah's arm, and the two walked in front.

The cold weather did not stop the nearby foodies at all. Crowds of pedestrians passed by me, and the roadside restaurants were crowded with people. It seemed that the business was very good.

"Giga." Senior Vernon and I walked side by side.

"What?" I turned to look at him.

Senior Vernon rubbed his frozen hands, and said to me, "Can you show me the red copper solution that your lord made."

He didn't mention it, I almost forgot, I was going to give him some.

I smiled a little embarrassedly, but didn't explain, just said: "Oh, of course this is okay, but Noah is right, your body has already turned on a yellow light, you should pay attention to rest!"

"What is the yellow light you are talking about?" Senior Vernon asked me a little surprised.

I patted my forehead and thought that there are no signal lights on the streets of the imperial capital, so I explained: "This is a metaphor, which means that you are currently in a sub-healthy state. I once read in a biography that Hex technology is prevalent At that time, there were horse-drawn carriages everywhere on the streets, and every intersection in the city had a traffic signal control, a green signal said you can go, a red signal means stop immediately, and a yellow signal means you are about to stop, that’s it.”

Senior Vernon frowned, as if trying to understand what I said.

He said: "Are you talking about setting up a kind of traffic light at the intersection?"

Noah, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said to us: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, I am confused, but one thing Ji Jia said is right, you should take a break."

Senior Vernon looked at the pedestrians on the street, many of whom were magic students. He suddenly changed his tone and said seriously, "Thank you, Jijia."

"What are you talking about!" I asked him with a smile.

He crossed the fingers of his hands together, then stretched his waist above his head, slowed down and said to me: "I am about to graduate, but I have never thought about what I want to do. I thought about following the adventure group Walk around, or go back to my hometown directly after graduation, and find a job at the Junior Magic Academy over there. I also want to stay in the imperial capital, but you also know that the situation of water magicians is a bit embarrassing. Many magic organizations are unwilling to accept water magic. Magician."

Unexpectedly, what he said to me was still heard by Noah.

"Aren't water magicians very popular recently?" Noah pulled Shirley Newman around and said to Senior Vernon.

"Those lords hired us because they want us to participate in the war of planes." Senior Vernon said angrily.

Noah waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with participating in the Plane War? Look at Jijia, before he graduated from the Royal Academy of Magic, his achievements in participating in the Plane War have already made him a Marquis. Maybe one day in the future, he may have his own private plane, maybe have a huge legion of constructed knights, defeat the last Grand Duke of the Grimm Empire, and become the new Duke."

Senior Vernon said with a smile: "Of course he has this condition. Not only the commander of the North Wind Legion, Duke Jingyue, looked at him differently, but he also married the princess of the South Wind Legion. It shouldn't be too difficult to become the new Duke of the Green Empire!"

Noah said to me deeply: "That's right, Jijia, when you think you can try to challenge the last duke one day, you must inform me, Louis and I are the most solid backing."

I think it’s better not to say anything at this time. The Grimm Empire has never stopped plane wars in recent years. Many private armies of the dukes have been almost exhausted in the plane wars. Now, all the princes and nobles of the Green Empire need to be united to the outside world, and some great lords who have retained their powerful strength may be about to launch a battle for the title of these fallen dukes.

Hearing that Noah had made such a promise to me, senior Vernon also complained unwillingly: "Hey, we are also friends, why is the treatment so bad!"

Noah walked up to Senior Vernon, put his arms around his shoulders and asked him, "Senior Vernon, do you know how much it costs to form a 500-member Constructed Knights?"

"Probably tens of thousands of magic crystals!" Senior Vernon obviously had no plans in this regard, so he just said the number casually.

"Don't even think about it without a hundred thousand magic crystals!" Noah opened one hand, turned it over in front of Senior Vernon, and said to him.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say what I said before!" Senior Vernon clicked his tongue.

Noah smiled and said: "When you are able to form a Constructed Knights, you will probably be able to compete for the title of Marquis."

Senior Vernon shook his head again and again: "I mean, being a professional magician is actually pretty good."

Noah chose a very high-end restaurant for this dinner. This restaurant is at the intersection on the north side of the food street. Usually we rarely come to this high-end restaurant. One reason is that it is far away from the Royal Academy of Magic. It is that Noah will take into account the feelings of Senior Vernon, but it is different now. Senior Vernon has a monthly dividend from the magic oven. This income is difficult for even some small nobles in the imperial capital.

The money bag is bulging, and the taste of life should naturally be improved appropriately. Besides, this time is to celebrate Senior Vernon's successful refining of the red copper solution, so Noah came here to eat seafood and grilled fish.

However, just as we were about to reach the entrance of the restaurant, we suddenly found that Erika-senpai was sitting on a bench in the street, the cold wind was blowing, her long hair was fluttering in the wind under the magic cone hat, her face had been covered It was red from the cold, but still sitting there quietly watching the passers-by on the street, with an indescribably lonely expression on his face.

We stopped, and Vernon was looking at the introductions of various dishes in the window with great interest. When he saw us stop, he turned his head and saw Senior Erika sitting alone on the street, his expression froze instantly down.

Noah sighed, and stood beside Shirley Newman with his arms around him and stopped talking.

I rubbed my nose, walked up bravely, stood in front of Erika-senpai, greeted her with a smile and said, "Erika-senpai! Long time no see."

At this time, she raised her head and saw Noah and Senior Vernon behind me. She rubbed her flushed cheeks with a little embarrassment, and then stood up from the bench and said, "Vernon, Ji Jia , Noah, why are you here?"

Noah whimpered and said, "We're planning to celebrate Senior Vernon's becoming an alchemist."

The expression on her face made Senior Erika give a bitter smile, and Shirley Newman gently poked Noah to tell him to shut up.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Senior Sister Erica stretched out her hand to brush her hair, then puffed up her chest, smiled and said to Senior Vernon: "Vernon, congratulations!"

She smiled a little forcedly, and seemed preoccupied.

Senior Vernon opened his mouth, but didn't say a word, he just stood in front of Senior Sister Erica and stared at her.

I sighed softly, put my arms around Noah and said, "Noah, didn't you say you wanted to pick a magic sword with Shirley Newman?"

"Huh?" Noah looked at me suspiciously.

Shirley Newman held Noah's arm tightly with a smile on her face.

I stomped my sore feet, it was really a long way to go.

I said to Senior Vernon and Senior Sister Erica: "I have to rush to the Academy of Magic, Senior Vernon and Senior Sister Erica, then let's go first..."

After finishing speaking, he worked with Shirley Newman to drag Noah away...

After walking a long way, looking back, I saw Senior Vernon and Senior Erica still standing in front of the restaurant, but the two seemed to have started talking, and Senior Erica's expression softened a little.
