my age of magic

Chapter 604

As soon as I walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Emerald Bay Commercial Bank, I saw a busy scene inside. A large amount of supplies were piled up in the warehouse behind. When buying goods with the waiters of the business, those waiters of the business shouted in a hoarse voice: "Order, pay attention to line up, don't squeeze, the caravan has just arrived in the imperial capital, and the goods are abundant, please don't worry. "

He heard the fat, greasy-faced businessman squeezed in the front, wiping the sweat off his greasy face with a wet handkerchief, placing the money bag on the counter in a vigorous manner, casually flipping the thin The rope was torn apart, revealing the yellow-orange-orange gold coins inside. He opened his mouth wide and said loudly to the waiter of the firm with a smile on his face: "Hemostatic grass, prepare ten boxes of hemostatic grass for me, I need it urgently!"

"Oh, ten boxes of hemostatic grass, is there anything else you need?" The shop waiter recorded the items that the fat businessman was going to buy on an inventory, and then asked with a smile on his face.

"Five boxes of yellow black grass, two boxes of bruise grass, two boxes of purple grapevine, one box of emperor's blood grass, and one box of calamus." The fat businessman immediately named a series of magic herbs, and then he He glanced hesitantly at his pocket full of gold coins, and then fell silent.

"The price of herbal medicine today is higher than yesterday, and you know that hemostatic herb is very popular recently..."

The scene in front of me happened at every stall, and those stalls were surrounded by merchants who bought goods. The waiters in the firm communicated with those merchants in an orderly manner, first making a list of items, then pricing, paying a deposit, inspecting the goods, After payment, a waiter will move boxes of goods that have just been transported into the warehouse of the firm to the carriage waiting for delivery in the back street, and the entire transaction process is considered to be over.

Through the glass window in the hall, I saw that the heavy wooden boxes on the shelves were being moved up and down by the waiters, new goods were constantly entering the warehouse, and many goods were split into small pieces, and then It was shipped out again. Isn't this kind of firm with a huge cargo throughput just Marvin's dream?
I remember that before leaving El City, Marvin talked with me all night. When talking about the so-called ideal, he said that he wanted to develop the current grocery store into a trading firm. I didn't have time to do it, so I was delayed because of Sister Guoguo's affairs.

That thriving grocery store is currently engaged in the business of low-level life magic scrolls and low-level magic herbs.But as I came to the imperial capital, the two most advantageous items were missing from the grocery store. Those scrolls are okay. Every week, I would fill a magic box and mail it back to Marvin, but those who hoarded a lot Low-level magic herbs can only be hoarded in underground caves, and cannot be sent to Marvin in a short time.

Originally, we also planned to expand the business of magic rune metal plates. Unfortunately, because I left El City in a hurry, the blacksmith shop may also be disposed of by Marvin. In the last letter, he mentioned After this incident, it was said that the blacksmith's business was very poor.We also plan to sell some goods from the orc tribe transported from the Pai Plateau, such as the corpse fire oil, the magical 'coal' and so on.

I looked at the busy scene outside the window with great envy, and asked Noah: "Is only the second half of the first floor a warehouse? With such a large purchasing power, the inventory in these warehouses may not be able to maintain the daily transaction volume." Bar!"

"Of course it's more than that. There is a larger warehouse near the airport outside the imperial capital, where the bulk of the goods are stored."

Walking down the stairs was a knight wearing silver scale armor. His two sturdy long legs were wrapped in a magic pattern structure made of silver greaves. He wore a pair of rhinoceros leather boots on his feet and a golden long hair. His hair is tied behind his head like a ponytail, and his facial contour is three points similar to Noah's. He has a beard on his chin. When he saw Noah, his eyes were full of love and smile, and he stretched out from a distance. hands, and said to Noah: "Hey, little Noah, you didn't come to the specific location of our family cemetery and buried treasure, share it with your friends!"

Noah had a joyful look on his face, turned around and ran forward two steps, and collided fiercely with the strong silver armor knight. It seems that the relationship between the two is very good. I can't help but want to complain: those rangers In the gossip of the knights, it is said that the grievances and enmities between brothers in wealthy and noble families are usually very bloody. Why didn't I see this in Noah?
The steady Mr. Knight patted Noah's head affectionately, and said admiringly: "Our little Noah has grown a lot taller. It seems that you have had a good two months?"

"Ah! Louis, can you stop hitting me on the head? I'm no longer a child, and I'm still a magician. Please respect me." Noah protested to the strong knight.

The silver-armored knight laughed loudly, then put his arms around Noah's shoulders, and said to Noah: "Hey, why don't you introduce your new friend to me? I heard that you used those... in the manor to entertain him... "

Noah covered his mouth with his hands after Louis said half of what he said. The voice behind him was intermittent, and I couldn't hear it clearly.

However, Noah seemed a little embarrassed. It seemed that he must have done something embarrassing that I didn't know about, and now he didn't want Louis to say it in front of me. That's why he had such a violent reaction.Brothers Louis and Noah were probably used to fighting. The two jokingly pushed and shoved for a while. Of course, it was Louis who tried his best to give way to Noah so that Noah would not look too embarrassed.

Otherwise, even if Louis is not a heavy knight who is good at strength, one hand is enough to subdue Noah.

After a while, Louis came up to me. He stretched out his big hand, smiled kindly, and said to me, "Hi, I'm Louis, Noah's brother. Welcome to Emerald Bay as a guest."

I didn't look reserved at all, and naturally stretched out my hand to join me with his hand. His palm was very thick, and the palm was covered with calluses. With the polished knight medal in front, he said politely: "Hello, Knight Louis, my name is Ji Jia, a student of the Royal Academy of Magic, and Noah's roommate. Nice to meet you."

On the knight's medal, there is a long dragon spear and a royal eagle lion with outstretched wings. I have seen this style of medal in a medal common sense manual. This medal represents the "royal eagle lion" Knights', it seems that the identity of Noah's elder brother is not simple, at least he is the Imperial Guard around Emperor Charles.There is a coercion that belongs to the strong on his body, which makes me slightly breathless in my chest.

Louis took Noah and me to his usual office on the top floor. The decoration in Nuo Da’s room is very luxurious. Almost all the decorations are gold and silver vessels, and many precious stones are inlaid on them. There are also some hanging on the wall. The leather of rare monsters, or the complete head specimens, those specimens look lifelike.

We sat down at random places, and Noah explained the purpose of coming very directly, that is, to help me purchase some refined flour, salt, twine and cotton cloth in the business store.

Louis sat calmly on the sofa opposite me, listening very carefully, not only did he not show any contempt on his face, he also called a beautiful female assistant over very solemnly, and listed the names of the products one by one. On the sheepskin list.

Apparently that female assistant didn't have Louis's self-cultivation. When recording the name of the third item: 'twine', the corner of her mouth subconsciously twitched slightly. in my eyes.But I think this is human nature. After all, a small business like this is really not worth mentioning in a big business like this. Even the ordinary waiters in the lobby are willing to receive them. They can obviously go to some grocery stores. , Things that can be done, but have to be traded in a business firm, always a bit of suspicion of small horses and carts.

When I finished talking about my needs, Louis raised his eyebrows, held out a finger, and said to me relaxedly: "It won't take long, it will be ready."

He beckoned to the female assistant, and the female assistant with a bumpy figure bent slightly, the pair of surging rabbits hidden in the white shirt showed a clear outline, but the waist was still tight, After bending down, her perfect buttocks were revealed. The pretty, clean face of the female assistant was almost touching Louis's face. Louis stretched out his hand and gently pinched her fair face, then picked it up. With her white and pointed chin, she said to her: "Go and call Bud, the person in charge of the living area, and ask him to push the list in his hand to the people below to do it. I'll wait for him here!"

"Okay, I'll call him right away!" The female assistant saw a hint of fascination flashing in Louis's eyes, and quickly walked out of the room according to Louis' instructions.

Seeing the envious expression on Noah's face, Louis had a mysterious smile on his mouth, reached out and stroked the blue stubble on his chin, and asked Noah, "How are you, are you interested? Send it away if you like it." You, or if you have a cleansing habit, I will buy one and give it to you, on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony, will it be a gift from me?"

Then his eyes fell on me again, and he said very generously: "Jijia is the same."

"Louis, don't mess around." Noah blushed and waved his hands hurriedly.

Noah, who has always been very free and easy, seemed a little cramped when talking about this topic.

"Of course I know, I won't mess around before your coming-of-age ceremony, because I'm afraid someone won't be able to hold it back!" Louis smiled heartily, and the whole room was filled with his unique and sonorous laughter. Noah's face It rose even redder.

Louis dama sat on the sofa with a golden knife, and the silver scales set him off against his majesty. He bent down and picked up the golden cider on the coffee table, filled the glass with the golden liquid, and then slowly and intoxicated. After taking a sip, he gave Noah and me a questioning look, and asked us, "Well, would you like a drink?"

"Give us some tea, regular drinking will damage my mental strength." Noah waved his hand and refused, even my share.

To be honest, I really want to taste the bottle of golden cider on the coffee table. I want to taste the taste of the golden cider that the nobles usually drink. After all, there are [-] barrels in my underground cave in Xinliu Valley I felt a little regretful about the golden cider from Zimmerman Manor, but I didn’t reveal what I was thinking. I thought to myself: forget it, it’s not in a hurry, even if you know it, so what, let’s wait for the opportunity.

Louis put down his glass, shrugged his shoulders humorously, put his hand on my shoulder and said: "If you want to prepare these goods in the future, there is no need to come and tell me in person, just write a note and ask someone to bring it. How easy."

A blond woman in a long white dress came up with a tea tray, her leather boots stepped on the marble floor, and the spikes knocked on the stone floor, making a crisp and pleasant sound. She put two cups of tea on my table. In front of Noah, he turned and left very skillfully.

Facing this blond girl in a white dress, I have a strange feeling that she seems to be Louis's woman, and the female assistant who had an ambiguous attitude with Louis just now, I feel that she should be a pure knight of Louis. For some reason, this feeling became very clear in my mind.

A middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper, dressed in clean and flat clothes, and even his hair was meticulously arranged. After the blonde in a long white dress left with her fragrant hair, he went through the side door Walked out, saluted Louis respectfully, and then asked cautiously, "My lord, are you looking for me?"

Louis put away the smile on his face. At this time, the aura of majesty permeated his face. With his stalwart and strong body, that kind of powerful aura was formed instantly, and the atmosphere in the room was condensed. Louis nodded lightly. , reached out and pushed the material list on the parchment on the table towards the middle-aged man, and then said calmly: "Bad, you should follow the details on this list and prepare these materials immediately. no problem?"

Bud quickly picked up the parchment list on the coffee table, quickly read it from the beginning to the end, and then reviewed it again, and after confirming that it was correct, he said with a little hesitation: "My lord, these daily necessities, except Except for refined flour, there is almost no inventory in the warehouse at the headquarters of the imperial capital, and these daily necessities are usually stored at the material transfer station near the airport."

Louis frowned, with an expression of displeasure immediately appearing on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "So, how long will it take for these goods to be ready, and quickly!"

"Before night..." Bud tentatively said, seeing that Louis's face became more gloomy, he immediately straightened his body, and said, "Oh no! Half an hour is enough."

After listening to Bud's words, Louis' face calmed down, and he nodded in satisfaction, signaling him to go down and prepare with the list of goods in his hand.

In fact, the goods I want to buy are not too many, but they are definitely not too little, because this time I want to buy fine flour that can feed more than 150 orcs in Xinliu Valley for a month. Thousands of catties of flour, and various other items, especially one hundred catties of salt. The Green Empire has not lifted restrictions on the sale of salt. This will probably cause Mr. Bard, who is in charge of the living area, to feel a little headache Bar.

Before Bud stepped back, Louis pointed at Bud and said to me: "If you want to buy these items when I'm not in the business, just go to Bud directly, and he will take care of it."

In line with Louis' words, Bud nodded slightly to me.

Seeing Louis and Noah not paying attention, with relaxed expressions on their faces, I felt a little bit emotional: Maybe this is the energy of the noble family. Although it is just a small matter for Noah or Louis, but for For me, it's still a bit of a headache. It takes only a day or two to buy all kinds of goods one by one.

When I was in El City, Ma Wen directly helped me with these trivial matters. I never knew how troublesome these things are. Now that I am in the imperial capital, I have to rely on myself for everything, so I feel very troublesome.

But now, I didn't expect that with Noah's help, it would be solved so easily. I gave Noah a grateful look, and couldn't help but lightly punched him on the shoulder to show my gratitude.

This has just come to an end, that Mr. Bud hurriedly stepped back to prepare the supplies, and Louis put on a friendly smile on his face, and when he was about to take the opportunity to tease Noah, the one who was just in charge of recording the details of the item list had a first-class figure. The female assistant ran in panting slightly, and leaned against Louis' ear, whispering a few words with a panicked expression, and Louis' face changed slightly.

He gave Noah and me a slightly apologetic look, stood up abruptly from the sofa, and said in a deep voice: "How could there be such a big mistake, what does Buck in the herbal medicine area do, let's go down and have a look first. !"

Afterwards, Louis took a deep breath and said to Noah: "Noah, entertain your friends well, I have some things to deal with here, and I can't accompany you for the time being, you wait for a while, Bud will prepare those goods, I will find you."

Noah stood up from the sofa a little nervously. He was not as calm and calm as Louis, and he asked with concern, "Louis, what happened, maybe I can help!"

There was a doting look in Louis's eyes, he smiled, shook his head and said to Noah: "Little Noah, these are the affairs of adults, it is enough to take care of yourself."

Noah protested: "How many times have I told you not to treat me like a child, I am already an official magician..."

But now Louis was a little absent-minded. He led the female assistant to the door, and said as he walked, "Okay... I got it!"

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and asked the female assistant casually, "Is anyone injured?"

The female assistant looked a bit embarrassed, but she quickly replied truthfully: "Well, almost all the knights who came back were injured, but they have already sent people to the temple to invite the priests!"

Louis' complexion became even uglier, and his pace quickened a bit.

At this time, I sat on the sofa modestly and said: "Knight Louis, if someone is injured, maybe I can help a little!"

Louis and the female assistant looked over suspiciously, I stood up from the sofa shyly, and said to the two of them, "I am a water magician, and I know water healing magic..."
