my age of magic

Chapter 755 255. Sage and Winterthorn

"You want to buy sage? That's really the right place. Every plant of sage here is carefully processed, and the magic power in each plant is perfectly sealed in the herb. Such a plant of sage is only It needs sixty silver coins, if you are an expert who often buys magic grass, you should know that my sage is considered a sale price, as long as you can bring these sage to the imperial capital, this sale is basically a sure profit." The owner of the herbal shop spread out a bundle of sage on the counter and eagerly sold it to Qige.

When the herb boss quoted the price, Qige secretly winked at me.

She looked impassively at the sage on the counter.

"Do you only have sage here?" Qige frowned and asked disapprovingly. Her hand brushed the leaves of sage inadvertently, looking at the sage casually. A look of whether you can buy it or not.

At this time, the owner of the herbal medicine store probably didn't know that Qige had already developed a great interest in these sages, and thought that she didn't really want to buy them, so she shifted her focus to other herbs.In fact, he is not familiar with Qige. Our Miss Qi is good at calculating, and is very familiar with the market price of magic herbs. This kind of sage that is equivalent to the level of ice grass can be sold at least in the imperial capital. Two gold coins per plant, the drugstore owner's offer of sixty silver coins for one plant is almost a bargain.

"There are also some high-quality winter thorn grasses, which are precious and are usually stored in the magic sealing box. A winter thorn plant costs eight gold coins. Are you interested?" The owner of the herbal medicine shop asked Qige tentatively.

"Take it out and have a look!" Qige said casually.

The owner of the pharmacy took out three magic sealing boxes from the box one after another, placed them on the counter one after another, and carefully opened the lid of the magic sealing box. When the lid was opened, a strong cold air gushed out from the box, making everyone feel sick. The temperature in the magic herb store dropped to freezing point instantly.

Although both Qige and I were prepared, the icy breath in the box made us both shudder.

The owner of the herb shop looked at Qige expectantly, Qige paused for a moment, then raised his head and asked the owner of the pharmacy: "Is there anything else?"

"There are still some winter thorns, but the quality is no different from these three plants." The owner of the herb shop hesitated for a moment, and replied honestly.

I saw Qige waving to Takama behind him. Takama walked up and handed a money bag to Qige, and then retreated obediently. Qige untied the rope on the money bag and He dumped all the gold coins inside on the counter, and all of a sudden yellow and orange gold coins rolled out of the purse, over a hundred of them.

Qige felt the chill emanating from the winter thorn grass. As a high-level magic herb, the winter thorn grass can completely replace the role of the ice grass. With so many winter thorn grass, at least twenty bottles of Xueluo can be prepared for me. Ink that allows me to paint the 'Frost Nova' magic scroll to my heart's content. The value of the 'Frost Nova' scroll in battle is self-evident to us.

Qige said directly: "I want all these rat tails and winter thorns in your store, help me figure out how much it costs?"

The owner of the magic herb store didn't react for a while, and then realized that Qige seemed to say that she wanted to buy all these two kinds in the store, and hurriedly said to Qige: "There are eight winter plants in the store. Thorn grass, as for sage grass, there are four bundles, ten plants in each bundle, a total of 88 gold coins, if you want them all, it will count as 85 gold coins for you."

Qige just glanced at Takama behind him, and Takama stepped forward knowingly, stretched out his hand and counted out 85 gold coins on the counter, and then put the remaining few dozen gold coins back into the money bag Li, completed the transaction very readily.

Afterwards, the owner of the herbal medicine store hurriedly took out all the only herbs in the store from the warehouse, opened them one by one for inspection, and then handed them over to Qige. The transaction ended smoothly, and then Qige asked the herbal medicine The store owner asked about the specific locations of other magical herbal medicine shops in the inner city, as well as the general price of the herbs.

The owner of the herbal medicine shop who successfully completed the transaction was in a good mood, and naturally knew everything, and in a few words, he confessed all the old stories of other herbal medicine shops.Before walking out of the pharmacy, Qiger casually revealed that we would go to other magical herb stores to buy large quantities of sage and winterthorn.

At this time, Katerina, who was standing behind, suddenly walked to Qige's side and whispered something to Qige in a low voice.

Probably among this group of people, only I can see that Qige and Katerina are pretending to be acting in front of everyone. We around us don't need to hear what Katerina said, just from her charming From the expression on her face, one could guess that Katerina seemed to be saying to Qige: There are not many gold coins left.

Qige frowned after hearing Katerina's whisper.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a black magic crystal from his bosom, turned around and asked the owner of the magic herb shop, "Can you trade this black magic crystal?"

The owner of the magic herb store saw a gleaming black magic crystal in Qige's snow-white palm, and finally couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded fiercely.

……

Qige and I went to another four herbal medicine stores, and the situation in each store was basically the same. The healing magic herbs in these herbal medicine stores had been sold out as early as a month ago. The spider man had been besieging the city for about 20 days. The potions in the herb store in Tanton City now only have a few kinds of magic herbs that are unique to the Yarrow plane: sage, winterthorn and some other common magic herbs.

Moreover, the owners of these magic herb shops seem to be eager to sell the backlog of magic herbs in their hands. They are pessimistic about the future prospects of Tanton City. The bustling scene of the past has been restored, so many shop owners want to get out in time, and this is the best time for herbal medicine shops to get out.

Because before the spider man besieged the city, the military and some adventure groups had scoured all the healing magic herbs in all the herbal shops in the city.

The bosses of the herb shop began to dump the small amount of specialty magic herbs left in the shop, but when this kind of war had just ended and the nobles in Tanton City were panicking, no one could ask Qi Qi and me for help. In this way, you can stroll around the store leisurely.

Qige readily bought all the sage and winterthorn in those herb shops with a lot of gold coins, and then very cleverly played the same scene with Katerina when he was about to leave. At first, it was only me I saw the clues, but then I went to the magic herbal medicine shops in the electricity bill, and when I was about to leave the herbal medicine shop, Katerina and Qige played exactly the same role. I finally understood that Qige was not moving to those herbal medicine merchants. He showed the black magic crystal in his hand sensually.

She was telling these herbal medicine merchants: We have some black magic crystals here, and we are ready to sell them.

……

The inner city of Tanton City reveals a very depressed atmosphere.

Qige and I sat in a restaurant, and the lobby of the restaurant seemed deserted.

I ordered a fried steak. The ingredients are obviously the kind of frozen meat stored in the magic sealing box, but the chef's craftsmanship is not bad, the taste of the steak is quite good, and the meat is very tender.Later, the waiter brought another refreshment, and each biscuit was baked delicately.

On such a quiet afternoon, although the sky was still shrouded in a layer of gray clouds, there was plenty of light.

There are no pedestrians on the street, the whole street is very clean, there is no trace of wind, sitting on the window seat of the restaurant, not thinking about anything, just savoring this rare leisure time.Miss Qi sat across from me, gently stirring the juice in the glass with a silver spoon, and the silver spoon made a tinkling sound when it touched the ice cubes in the glass from time to time.

Kalancuo, Katerina, and Takama sat at another table, and the atmosphere between them seemed a little weird.

After a long silence, I finally couldn't help breaking the silence between us, and said to Qige: "When will we return to Pereira City? We have exceeded the date set by the academy."

Qige looked carelessly, glanced out the window, took a sip of the sweet juice and said: "Wait, at least we have to get our share."

I think she still wants to continue to buy magic herbs in various stores in Tanton City. We bought out four herbal medicine stores in one morning.

I rolled my eyes, glanced at the wooden ceiling above my head, stared into her eyes and said, "Hey, you are a teacher in the academy, so it doesn't matter, but I don't want to fail my studies, let's talk about this The war has come to an end, as for the spoils, haven't we already got them?"

"Every black magic crystal, besides its own value, can also be exchanged for additional rewards. It is said that those rewards were promised by Samoyed himself. Our black magic crystal can be exchanged for many things." Qige smiled like Like a little fox, she licked her lips and said: "As for your studies, don't worry, what happened on the plane of Hierro should have been reported to the academy long ago, and the dean should understand us of."

We were silent again.

A carriage passed by in a hurry, I rested my chin on my hand, looked out the window and said to Qige: "You said, those nobles in the inner city stay at home all day long, what are they worried about?"

Qige rolled her big eyes and said, "I guess, it's nothing more than: rewards and punishments!"

I expressed my incomprehension, and asked Qige: "Isn't this war a victory? How can there be punishment?"

Qige bit her ruddy lips lightly and said: "Of course there will be punishment. Don't think that the victory of the war can erase all mistakes. Those who deserve rewards will naturally get rewards, and those who deserve punishment will also be punished. "

I don't understand why Qige said that some nobles will be punished. Is it a crime to stay in Tanton City and not come out?If this is the case, the one who should be punished the most should be the Marquis Armand, the consul of Tanton City.

I was thinking: Didn't the Duke of Samoyed already express that he didn't want to pursue this matter when he entered the city yesterday?
After all, he is the son of the Duke of Samoyed, so even if he did something wrong, he would be easily forgiven.

While stirring the ice cubes in the glass with a spoon, Qige said: "I'm not talking about the people who guard Tanton City, they at least defended Tanton City. Although the outer city has all fallen, Tanton City As long as the interests of the aristocratic group can be preserved, Samoyed will not care too much, he is a very old-fashioned person, and he attaches great importance to class."

It seems that Qige knows the character of the Duke of Samoyed very well, and I think Qige must have her ideas for sending Katerina to the military camp under the Duke of Samoyed.

Qige then said to me: "In the noble families in the inner city of Tanton, there should be many young people in the families who served in the army of the Duke of Samoyed. Young nobles. If they abandon their troops in the wild and escape alone, once Samoyed knows about this, they will inevitably be punished."

Her words reminded me of the young noble earl who fled without a fight in the stronghold of Trume, so I asked her, "Like Horace?"

Sometimes, I have to admire Qige’s vision of seeing people. I think this may be her talent. very convincing.

"He... probably won't. He should be glad that he has a great subordinate. If I were Horace, I would talk to Knight Disraeli, and then promise some small gifts to win him over. People's hearts!" Qige put his hands on his white chin and said, "Maybe you can get a very good reward from the Duke of Samoyed."

She blinked at me, her big azure eyes as deep as the night sky were lively and flickering, as if she was asking me: Do you care about Horace so much?

Qige didn't seem to care much about the waiters in the restaurant watching her secretly. She was in a good mood, sitting there gracefully, with a unique charm in every frown and smile.

"My words are not aimed at Horace, you seem to care about that Horace!" Qige covered her mouth lightly, her eyes full of teasing smiles.

Qige would never miss any opportunity to make fun of me, and then she asked me with a smile: "Ji Jia, do you know what is most lacking in Tanton City?"

I was blinded by her charming appearance, so I asked without thinking, "What?"

Qige pursed her red lips lightly and said, "A meritorious service!"

Her black grape-like eyes reflected my reflection, and she said to me: "Those young nobles who fled the battle want to be exonerated, they must buy some meritorious deeds to wash away their crimes. Even those nobles whose young family members performed well Families also need meritorious service. Only during wartime can these nobles have a chance to be promoted."

At this time, I finally understood a little bit.

I said to Qige: "You mean, the weird tense atmosphere in the aristocratic circles in the inner city of Tanton is actually all secretly seeking to buy black magic crystals?"

Qige nodded slightly, and reluctantly said: "Almost!"

Her charming expression seemed to say: You are finally enlightened.

At this time, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. The coachman jumped down from the front seat graciously, opened the door of the carriage, and stepped out of the carriage was an aristocratic gentleman in formal dress. With difficulty, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and walked into the restaurant with his eyes squinted.

Qige whispered to me: "If my guess is correct, someone will find us soon."
