My Magic Age

More than forty days after buying Lady Cecilia's quiet courtyard, the villa was finally renovated. Because the masons and carpenters that Ying Li found were all specially built for the Angelbold royal family, the villa in the courtyard, after being painted, always makes people feel that some decorations have a bit of palace style, such as many exquisite patterns and reliefs.

Pushing open the black iron gate with copper patterns, as soon as I walked into the yard, I saw twelve nearly 100-foot-high marble columns on both sides of the main road. These columns are covered with vertical lines, and there is a five-foot-high relief carved at the bottom and top. Those patterns are many legendary stories experienced by five heroes in their lives. Among these five heroes, the one I am most familiar with is Duke Xiatun. Ellie, who founded the province of Schroedt.

The arched iron dome spans the top of these twenty-four marble columns. Watching the sunlight coming through the horizontal grid on the dome, leaving shadows on the bluestone floor, Ying Li couldn't help but say to me happily: "In less than two years, the iron dome at the door will be covered with green creepers and mountain grape vines. '

Although the low shrubs and lawns in the yard have all turned yellow, it can be seen that the shrubs have been carefully trimmed by the gardener. The yellow leaves of these shrubs did not fall off in time before they were covered by a heavy snow. Clusters of shrubs formed semicircular bulges on the grass, and the whole yard was white. The low wall of the fountain in front of the square is engraved with reliefs of some scenes of Ayr City.

Mrs. Cecilia's courtyard is not very big. There is a four-story Baroque-style building in the yard. When I bought it, I thought the house was beautifully built. After a new round of renovation, the outside doesn't look much different. I can only see that every glass window is clean and bright, and it seems that all the curtains in the house are brand new.

When I walked into this big house, I found Ying Li's carefulness. Many styles of furniture are unique to Ayr City. For example, the most important thing in Ayr City's architecture is definitely the beautifully designed and practical fireplace. Only a well-designed fireplace can allow a family to spend the whole winter comfortably. Otherwise, climbing to the roof to clear the flue in the severe winter of north wind, smoke and snow is definitely a chore.

There is a corridor only ten feet long at the entrance of the hall. From here, you can walk into the spacious living room on the first floor. The oak floor is laid under your feet. There is a huge oil painting on the wall at the entrance. It is a scene of a large golden apple orchard outside the city of El during the harvest. Golden apples hang on the green apple trees. In the distance, the fishing lake reveals a trace of clear blue waves. The oil painting reveals a strong hometown flavor.

The furnishings in the room are also based on the style of the city of El. The city of El is located between the city of Sloyt and the town of Guludin. It is located on the trade road between the Green Empire and the Orc Tribe. Many commodities there have some Orc Tribe style. Many furniture covers are made of unicorn leather shipped from the Orc Tribe. This dark brown leather has a rough taste. The leather sofa sewn out is not so soft on the outer layer of leather.

"This is our home!" I sat in the leather sofa, stretched my limbs, and said to Ying Li.

Ying Li stood on the thick velvet carpet in the living room, looking up at the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. She pursed her lips, narrowed her slender eyes slightly, and revealed two sweet dimples on her face. She wore a white robe of knowledge and uttered a soft nasal sound: "Hmm."

There was a hint of shyness and tenderness in her eyes, and she sat quietly on the sofa opposite me.

Caterina stood in front of the oil painting at the door, with a hint of curiosity in her ruby-like eyes, and asked me: "Ji Jia, is this the hometown of Sister Guoguo?"

"Yes." I answered Catalina.

"It's so beautiful here!" She said to me.

After staying under the oil painting for a while, Catalina walked into the living room and sat on a wooden chair by the window, looking at the furnishings in the living room with a curious look on her face.

Bright sunlight shines into the living room through the clean glass windows. There is a rune board of "Fire Gathering" in the fireplace. A ball of green flame keeps jumping on the rune board. The warm breath comes from the fireplace. Helena and Becky stand on the second-floor terrace and wave to Katrina in the living room. Helena calls out sweetly: "Sister Katrina, do you want to see your bedroom?"

"My bedroom?" Katrina looked up and asked Helena in surprise.

"Of course! I picked the sheets for you myself, but I'm a little worried that you won't like it." Helena said to Katrina. Katrina walked up the stairs slowly and looked carefully at every corner of the house.

Ying Li brought five maids and a cook from the Prince's Mansion. They have lived in the new courtyard for several days and have gradually adapted to life here. This is the first time I have stepped into this courtyard since Ying Li agreed to help me decorate it. I didn't expect that she would carefully make some changes to every place, without losing the original style, so that the atmosphere left by Lady Cecilia was completely eliminated.

After buying this courtyard, Lady Cecilia left some furniture for me, but all kinds of ornaments and some artworks were taken back to the countryside by her. The living room had become empty. This time, I came to see some rare magical green plants and ornaments full of elf style in the living room, which made people feel a warm taste when they walked in from outside.

"It's a pity that Qige didn't come here to have a look before returning to the Alliance Kingdom of Aetia." Ying Li sighed and said to me.

After so many days, I still haven’t received a letter from Qige, which inevitably makes me a little worried.

All in all, Qige should be on the airship flying to Orui City at this time, and she didn't know if crossing the swamp jungle was as simple as she said.

A maid came over, squatted in front of Qi Ge and helped her take off her thick leather boots and put on a pair of soft shoes.

Ying Li naturally sat on the sofa and asked the maid to help her change her shoes, while asking me: "I heard that you recently developed a very practical magic item?"

I stared at the white socks on her feet and asked her, "Well, how come you even know about this?"

Ying Li smiled and said to me: "There are so many hot pots placed in various magic shops in the imperial capital, and a big businessman from Haiyinsi City was still asking about this when he visited James yesterday. , tell me how I knew?"

Haiyinsicheng is warm as spring all year round and has a good climate, but there are occasional sea storms.

I asked Ying Li strangely: "Oh, is it also very cold in Haiyinsi this winter? Do we also need to use copper hot pots to keep warm?"

Ying Li said to me: "That's not necessary. It's just that you asked the craftsmen to make the copper hot pot, and it's not just for heating."

It seems that only Ying Li can understand me. Those copper hot pots are not for heating at all. Well, they just happened to be launched in such a cold winter, so some people in the Imperial City suddenly thought of using them as heating pots. Magic items. So I said, "Yes! But why don't the people of the Imperial City think this way? If we were in Haiyinsi City, it would be quite good to cook a seafood meal once in a while."

Ying Li explained to me: "The businessmen over there saw that this magic cooker was easy and convenient to use during sailing, and wanted to sell the copper hot pot to the owners of large ships."

"This is a good business opportunity." I said, then scratched my head with my hands, frowned and defended myself: "It sounds a little bit off-putting! Obviously I made copper hot pot so that people in the imperial capital can also eat delicious food. Shabu-shabu, but these guys preconceivedly regarded the copper hot pot as a hand warmer. If it is a hand warmer, is it necessary to make it so big? "

Catalina's figure appeared on the terrace on the second floor. She leaned out from above with Helena and Becky, and said to me sitting on the sofa downstairs: "Didn't the owner of the magic grocery store tell me the day before yesterday?" Are you complaining that the copper hot pot is too big? I asked you if you could make a small copper hot pot for one person. Didn't you readily agree?"

I quickly remembered what the owner of the Magic Grocery Store said to me on the day I arrived: 'People in the Imperial Capital like to share their meals, so of course we have to make a small batch...'

At this time, I came back to my senses and asked Catalina: "You mean that guy just wants a batch of small hand warmers that are more portable?"

Catalina covered her lips with her hands and smiled slightly, and said to me: "I don't know, Alia told me this."

I rolled my eyes weakly. It seemed like I had been tricked by the cunning magic grocery store owner.

Ying Li sat on the sofa hugging his knees and said to me: "It is said that the Inscription Masters Guild has begun to study the production process of the 'Fire Gathering Technique' rune plate. Some people speculate that drawing metal magic lines on a thin copper plate must first be done. The condition is to convince Scholar Francis from the Alchemy Department of the Imperial Capital Research Institute to reveal the formula for the magic copper solution.”

Scholar Francis’ recipe... is so easy to get!

I exclaimed: "These inscription masters really want everything!"

Ying Li said to me: "I heard that Vice Dean Bruce has clearly rejected the Inscription Masters Guild's request."

Unexpectedly, Ying Li is better informed than me about some news in the Magic Research Institute. I have been busy making the third magic engraving machine in Xinliu Valley for the past two days. It has been three days since I went to the Yerkes Scholar's Magic Laboratory. , and is also very closed-minded about new information in the Magic Research Institute.

So I couldn't help but ask Ying Li: "Isn't it the Magic Guild showing up again this time?"

Ying Li shook her head, her long black hair hanging down like a waterfall swaying from side to side. She said, "Francis is a relatively well-known scholar in the imperial capital after all, and it is not easy for the Magic Guild to interfere too much."

Obviously this news should have come from the Magic Guild. Ying Li continued to say to me: "But speaking of it, are those copper magic thread rune boards really the ones you used to use magic copper solution?" Did Zhang draw it?”

I smiled, and instead of explaining the magic engraving machine to her, I asked her, "Do you want to know how those magic rune boards are made?"

Ying Li immediately widened his eyes, pretended to be listening attentively, and said, "Yes!"

"Then you will go to Xinliu Valley with me later!" I said to her.

Ying Li happily agreed: "Okay! Many magicians in the imperial capital are discussing this matter now. They don't understand. If copper hot pots are always sold at such a low price, how can these fire gathering charms be made? The inscription masters of Wenban are simply unprofitable.”

Then she added: "Some people think that the inscription master who made the fire-gathering rune tablet is doing something that is harmful to others, and some people think that the inscription master just wants to help the residents of the imperial capital to survive." In this cold winter, tell me which of these two guesses is closer to the correct answer?"

I thought about it carefully. In fact, the reason for keeping the price so low was to target the inscription masters in the imperial capital. However, this copper hot pot has solved the heating problem for some people in the imperial capital, so I asked Xinliugu to increase the production of copper hot pots, and I also wanted the people in the imperial capital to easily survive this severe winter.

So I said to Ying Li: "Maybe it's a bit of both! But this kind of fire-gathering rune board is still profitable, so I will continue to make it. After all, it is the new magic rune board that completely occupies the market of fire-gathering rune boards, which makes these inscription masters in the imperial capital a little panicked."

Ying Li said as a matter of course: "Of course, the price has become so much cheaper all of a sudden."

I casually took out such a round palm-sized rune board from my magic waist bag. There was no magic crystal fragment in the middle gem groove. Therefore, no flames came out. I pointed to the "Fire Gathering" rune board in my hand and said, "A palm-sized Fire Gathering rune board consumes only a little bit of magic copper as big as the tip of a little finger. The cost is very low, so the selling price can naturally be suppressed."

Ying Li smiled when he heard me say this, and then said, "Now there is no inscription master willing to make Fire Gathering rune boards in the imperial capital."

In fact, my ideas are far more than that. I also plan to use the third magic engraving machine to engrave the "micro tornado" magic pattern array.

I said to Ying Li, "Not only do I make Fire Gathering rune boards, but in the next step, I am also going to grab the market for exhaust fans."

"Can you make so many rune boards?" Ying Li asked me.

"You will understand when you see the answer later." I said to Ying Li, and I will do a magic experiment later.

After that, I pulled her upstairs. I think the bedroom upstairs is relatively more hidden, and I plan to open the portal there.

Next to the teleportation altar in Xinliu Valley, there were piles of yellow copper hot pots. These copper hot pots were placed against the stone wall. They were the goods to be taken to the magic grocery store tomorrow morning. Now they were neatly placed on the stone floor.

"Are these copper hot pots made in Xinliu Valley?" Ying Li ran to the wall and took a special look, and asked me.

At this time, I saw two female dwarves holding two copper hot pots coming in from the cave outside, so I pointed at them and said to Ying Li: "These copper hot pots, including the rune board of the 'Fire Gathering Technique', were all made by them."
