my age of magic

Chapter 824 324. Yerkes' Visit
Sola scholar's magic caravan disappeared at the entrance of the alley, and left disappointed.

Under the reflection of the afterglow of the setting sun, the attic-style houses in the third district of the imperial capital are neatly arranged row upon row. The ridges and eaves of the roofs are covered with a layer of golden clothes, and the strands of gray clouds in the sky are also coated. A thin layer of gold.

From time to time, the sound of sharpening the knife came from outside the house. This is Luka the tauren's way to relieve his anger. He sat on the straw mat under the arbor, rubbing the double-edged ax with a whetstone. From time to time, sparks burst out from the edge of the blade.

In summer evenings, the people of Imperial City like to sit around on the balcony outside the attic to cool off.

Mrs. Alia was holding a glass of golden cider, leaning on the railing of the balcony. The railing was covered with a very smooth polished marble countertop. The countertop was very wide, and it was more than enough to put some dinner plates on it.

Her eyes fell on the clouds on the top of Mount Majaro in the distance. The golden rays of light coated her fair face with a layer of light gold. He has a pair of eyes that are as clear as lake water, but there is a trace of silence and bewilderment about the future in the eyes.

There is a piece of parchment document on the marble board, with a few lines of imperial text written on it, to the effect that the Babington family has terminated all ties with Alia, and Mrs. Alia is no longer a member of the Babington family. The Bington family took back all the property from Mrs. Alia, and so on. A scarlet Babington family seal was stamped on the parchment, which made the parchment look extra heavy.

"It turns out that after peeling off so many shiny shells, I have nothing." Mrs. Alia took a sip of the golden cider and let out a soft sigh.

"It won't get worse." I couldn't help but glanced at her white and full chest. This is a woman who can wear a simple cotton skirt like a court dress. Longing for freedom, I said to Mrs. Aliya: "Aren't they still running the business of spider silk magic weave cloth? Don't they still have the nerve to take those magic weave spider silk?"

Mrs. Alia gave me a resentful look, blushed slightly and said, "The only thing the Babington family can leave me is the supplies in the airport warehouse. If I don't even have these, a woman like me How will you live in the future?"

Maybe it was because she talked about her business in the imperial capital, Mrs. Alia's eyes returned to her usual sophistication, and then she said to me with some worry: "I don't know what kind of chaos will be in the textile workshop. If you start a large workshop without the background of a wealthy family behind you, the business will be difficult to maintain."

Mrs. Alia is worried that her textile workshop is falling into a state of disorder and out of control, but at this time, it is impossible to bypass Duke Ryan's eyeliner in the imperial capital. It is impossible for us to appear in the textile workshop at this time Over there, the workshop can only be allowed to continue to lose control for a while.

I said to Mrs. Alia: "Then we will start from scratch. We can rebuild a new weaving workshop. In the future, this kind of spider silk will be sent to the imperial capital continuously. This is our advantage. We have a steady stream of silk. The magic-weave spider silk, I need a big weaving workshop to digest the magic-weave spider silk. When the incident subsides, you can also reorganize the workshop. In terms of spider silk, I will give you the most support!"

Looking at her charming and charming eyes, I said to her seriously: "Besides, I have some new ideas, which are always difficult to work on because of my limited energy. As an assistant at the Academy of Magic, you basically don't have the energy to take care of other things, you can choose to help me, and maybe you can become my partner."

The plump and sexy lips printed a faint lip print on the rim of the glass, her eyes became very bright, and my words aroused her curiosity.

I said to Mrs. Alia, "wait for me a moment", and then "thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump" and ran down the stairs under the surprised eyes of Ella and Su, not at all what a patient should be. , Katerina was standing at the stairs with a tray, and was almost hit by me. My hand touched her soft and slender waist, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she stretched out against the wall of the stairs. With a snow-white neck, he asked me, "Jijia, where are you going?"

"Go to the kitchen, I'll be right back." I waved to her and said something.

I stepped on a ladder to remove the exhaust fan installed on the glass window of the kitchen. The paint smell of the exhaust fan with wooden louver structure has not completely dissipated. The shape of the entire exhaust fan is extremely regular. , I ran up to the balcony in one breath, and put the wooden box on the marble countertop of the balcony railing. The bandages wrapped around my body made me feel what the fire and heat in summer are.

The louvered wooden box looked rough, so I lifted the lid to let Mrs. Alia see the rune metal plate inside the box, and then explained to her: "It's like this magic device, now there is Very complete design drawings, but... oh, the appearance is still very rough, but the imperial capital still has a great demand for this thing."

Madam Aliya leaned her head over and saw the magic rune metal plate inside, and asked me, "Is this a magic device?"

I nodded and said: "Well, it can be said that this is a poor life magic item extended based on a super simple magic rune board. The main function is to keep the secret room or laboratory ventilated, and it can also exhaust the wind. Yes... ...is the ventilation. It can also let the choking smell in the kitchen out of the house, so that no matter whether you are grilling meat or doing other things in the kitchen, you don't have to worry about people in the living room or bedroom smelling those pungent smells .And it's not too expensive, its cost depends on the price of the magic rune plate inside."

Mrs. Aliya's attention was completely attracted by this exhaust fan device, her eyes were very bright, and she couldn't help praising: "This is a very good idea. Install a piece of magic crystal on the gemstone base to make it last. How long have you been working?"

I rubbed my nose and said a little uncertainly: "A week... two weeks... or a month, who knows! This thing was only recently designed, and the first exhaust fan made has not been produced yet. Working non-stop, it consumes very little mana per day, and we can only know how long it can continue to work until the first exhaust fan stops working completely."

Mrs. Aliya brushed her messy hair by her ears, and asked me with a smile, "What do you want me to do for you?"

I said: "Of course, it is to help me produce them in batches and then sell them. Its current market prospect is not bad. It is only sold in a small area of ​​our magic research institute, and the supply is already in short supply. Those magic scholars Everyone likes to install this thing in the laboratory, you may not be able to imagine, sometimes, those magic scholars may have all kinds of unpleasant smells in the room because of the preparation of some kind of magic potion, they need this, maybe we can I have limited energy to promote this thing to the major magic academies in the Green Empire, so I would like to ask you to help me, you can become my partner."

Neither I nor Qige can spend too much energy on such a small device. We need a partner who is good at business operations. Originally, I wanted to write to Ma Wen and ask him to come to the Imperial Capital to help me. But now it looks like Lady Alia is a better choice.

She was frowning and thinking seriously, with a focused and mature beauty, and stretched out a finger to rub her temples. Mrs. Alia said: "If you choose me to cooperate with you, it is likely that you cannot buy it in the market." Any rune plates, maybe we'll have to make rune plates ourselves."

I asked a bit distressed: "You mean the Babington family will not be willing to sell us the rune tablet?"

"It's not that they won't sell, but during the war between the planes, the industrial system of San Carlos City has been completely paralyzed." Madam Alia said.

She rubbed the rough wooden box with her hands, frowned slightly, and explained to me: "Babington's industrial empire in San Carlos is almost decayed. With the resources coming in, maybe the Babington family will be unable to make ends meet. One day, this huge and bloated industrial empire will collapse, and now they, like other dukes, have fallen into the quagmire of war, Angela Eighty-nine out of ten of those mines on multiple planes are in a state of shutdown, and the production of mithril has dropped sharply to the lowest in recent decades. The mithril ore they obtain is not enough to supplement the loss of magic weapons on the battlefield. The entire industrial empire is almost Paralyzed, God knows how long they'll last."

Speaking of the design of life-related magic items, I told Mrs. Aliya about the magic water heater in the bathroom. I have modified the "water gathering magic scroll" on the water tank so that after it is filled with water, the buoyancy of the water will increase. The water gathering scroll will be rolled up automatically, and then the magic circle will stop running, so the water gathering magic will also stop automatically, and the bottom plate of the water tank is inlaid with a simple 'fire magic pattern'. The metal plate can make the water in the water tank become warm after being stored for a period of time.

These ingenious ideas made Mrs. Alia listen with great interest, but she told me frankly that these magic items should not be expected to be sold to nobles who live in luxury. Their lives are so luxurious that they don’t need such simple magic. Items, there is only one way for my magic items to go, and that is to popularize this kind of life-like magic items among the people.

If you really want to do this, then the most important thing is that I need to continue to streamline these life-like magic items to make them cheaper to produce. Only in this way can civilians be able to afford these life-like magic items , It is also necessary to reduce the consumption of magic crystal energy as much as possible, otherwise the consumption of magic crystals alone can overwhelm an ordinary civilian family.

Sitting side by side with Katerina on the bench on the balcony, she untied the bandages wrapped around my body layer by layer, and cut them off with a dagger when she encountered blood scabs that stuck the bandages together. The heat blew on my neck, making it slightly itchy.

Chatting with Mrs. Alia is a very pleasant thing. She knows the living habits of the nobles in the imperial capital very well, so she can tell me frankly that if these design ideas have no artistic value, or cannot impress those nobles with their beautiful appearance According to them, these magic items are not sold among the nobles. Fortunately, they have a simple structure, so she suggested that I must find a way to design these things more simply, try to minimize the cost, and then try to promote it to the whole people.

Scholar Yerkes and Eve drove over in a magic caravan at night. Eve's figure seemed to have become more plump recently. She was wearing a long silk dress, and her plump face was illuminated by the light With a ruddy luster, it seems that she has been doing well recently. Seeing her holding Yerkes scholar's arm and walking along the way, she also whispered softly.

The two of them hesitated at the door, probably because they couldn't get my address.

Fortunately, I was chatting with Mrs. Alicia on the balcony at the moment, and I happened to see Yerkes and Eve.

Scholar Yerkes only heard about me today. He doesn't usually read magic newspapers, so he naturally didn't know about me immediately.However, the Yerkes scholar brought me some new news. The incident that happened at the Prince Eric's ball affected many people's views. The magicians living in the imperial capital saw the dynamic photos on the magic newspaper and started They blamed the powerful nobles one after another, and some magicians who had been oppressed by the powerful nobles before also stepped forward to criticize these nobles. Duke Ryan was suddenly pushed to the forefront.

Not only did the incident not calm down, but it was still slowly brewing a bigger wave.

The atmosphere in the magic research institute is a bit weird now. There are even several water-type magicians in the research institute who went to the Imperial Capital Magic Association to participate in the protest declaration. Now the price of water-type magic scrolls in the imperial capital has directly increased by [-]%.

Scholar Yerkes also brought news of the Campbell Sanatorium. He said that the Campbell Sanatorium is now full of severely wounded soldiers withdrawn from the battlefield, and even temporary tents have been set up in Pena Square to temporarily receive the wounded. Now that the weather is so hot, the wounds of many seriously injured people will slowly become red, swollen, rotten, with high fever, and then die slowly in a severe coma if their wounds cannot be treated in time.

When the Yerkes scholar said this, Su just sat quietly in the corner and whispered to Ella, without even raising her head. Little Ella didn't care about the life and death of human warriors, and she got closer to those orcs. , just because she grew up among the orcs, and she didn't have a good impression of the imperial people.

In the end, he comforted me to take good care of my injuries and not to worry about Duke Ryan. Now he has been severely attacked by public opinion.

Before leaving, Yerkes took out a set of enhanced blueprints of the 'Magic Serpent's Tooth' and a set of exquisitely crafted sub-dragon leather body armor from the magic pocket, and then took Eve away in the magic caravan.
