My Magic Age

In front of the exhibition hall No. 38, a group of noble lords and magic merchants gathered. Ivan stood among them and kept talking about the new concept of energy saving for street lamps. However, it seemed that the lords and magic merchants around him did not buy it.

"How could such a luxurious street lamp with mithril on the umbrella cover be placed on the street? Aren't you worried that the mithril under the umbrella cover will be scraped clean by street vagrants with knives overnight?" Two noble lords behind the crowd discussed in a low voice.

Although their voices were very soft, the words still fell into my ears word for word.

Another noble lord was silent for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Perhaps this kind of street lamp should be erected on the lawn of your own manor!"

The previous noble lord reached out and rubbed the purse on his waist twice, and then said: "Although the price of magic crystals has been falling, there is no need to consume magic crystals on street lamps! I think it is a luxury to be able to afford whale oil, and whale oil burns very fragrant, and the cost should be cheaper than magic crystals."

The noble who spoke later couldn't help but remind him, saying: "Please pay attention to the way you speak, Mike! You are now a noble with status, don't always talk about gold coins, magic crystals and other words. Think about it, don't magic street lamps look more stylish than ordinary street lamps? You must improve your taste as soon as possible, and don't always make yourself the same as those nouveau riche!"

The noble lord in front said nonchalantly: "I am originally a nobleman. The upstarts who are facing war, what is there to hide! "

The noble lord who spoke behind hurriedly grabbed his collar and stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, but he was helpless in the face of his burly friend. The previous noble lord said like a string of cannonballs: "I led my knights to chop down those Nakma people and save the city of Meneaduo. There is nothing wrong with such a glorious deed, but I don't plan to take out the black magic crystals in my hands to buy these fancy street lights. What I want is the magic pattern structure, so that my knights can defeat the magic pattern structure of the Nakma people. "

"Okay, whatever you want!" The noble lord behind felt that he couldn't stop him, and finally gave up, patted his arm, and said in a low voice: "Since you think this place is boring, let's go to the next exhibition hall. Maybe the next exhibition hall can see something interesting. "

The two lords talked and chatted as they walked to the next exhibition hall. …

Agnes put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked out of the crowd behind him, and stood side by side with me.

“Hi, Egg! Are you here to see the inscription exhibition too?” I greeted Egg when I saw him.

Egg and I met when the method of making fish skin hoods was announced. As a civil servant of the magic guild, he did some coordination and communication work. In the lecture hall, Egg helped me a lot.

Looking at the street lamp emitting a cold glow at the entrance of the exhibition hall, Egg smiled at me and said to me: “The lords are not willing to buy the street lamp designed by the Inscription Society!”

He thought that I was a magic student of the Royal Magic Academy, so I must be a member of the Inscription Society, so he said that.

“After all, after the outbreak of the plane war, there are fewer and fewer lords who are stupid and rich!” I pursed my lips, stared at the noble lords gathered around Ivan, and said to Egg.

After Ivan finished talking about the functions of the street lamps, the magic merchants who were looking for business opportunities in the crowd left the crowd one after another. They were like a group of sharks swimming in the sea, looking for the next prey.

Egg stood beside me, looked at me with some surprise and said, "Maybe they don't like this kind of street lamp that consumes both moonstone and magic crystal. I thought you would take out another magic item with life magic pattern and slap the magic union hard."

I smiled and said to him, "To be honest, maybe you don't believe it. I still don't know what the life magic pattern in the fishman leather looks like!"

Egg said to me, "Not only do I not believe your statement, I am afraid that all the inscription masters in the imperial capital will not believe it."

After that, he patted my shoulder, put his head close to my ear, and whispered to me, "Recently, some inscription masters in the imperial capital have been targeting you behind your back. They have done some things that are not good for you. You'd better be careful. "

I smiled faintly and said to Egg: "I will go to the northern province tomorrow and will come back when spring comes. By then, maybe everything will be over."

Egg patted my shoulder and said to me: "Then I will say here 'I wish you a safe journey'!"

...

When I returned to the 49th exhibition hall, I found that there were many people crowded here. These people admired the huge paintings of the painters on the wall and the antique furniture with a sense of age in the exhibition hall. Some people couldn't guess what works were displayed in this exhibition hall. Some people guessed that the paintings and antique furniture in the entire exhibition hall were integrated together. This is a kind of magic given to the upper class of the imperial capital now.

There must be magic inscriptions hidden in those paintings, which will make the scenery in the paintings and the scenery in the hall perfectly integrated.

On the coffee table in the dark room, there was a copper table lamp, a bouquet of flowers, a plate of fruit, and a transparent crystal glass, forming a beautiful picture.

In this exhibition hall, there are always some new discoveries in the eyes of the noble lords. It does not even require Yerkes scholars to stand by to explain. Everyone who enters the exhibition hall seems to have a different experience.

Scholar Yerkes stood in the exhibition hall, leaning on the bookshelf, holding a tall wine glass in his hand, looking at the exhibition hall with satisfaction, and exclaimed: "Professionals are professionals after all. It turns out that the exhibition hall can be It was so tastefully designed, the only flaw is that Alia should have left at least two chairs, she didn’t want us to stand here all day!”

Seeing me coming over, Yerkes took out a goblet from the shelf and poured me a glass of wine. The two of us stood in the exhibition hall, drinking golden cider and talking softly. No one asked about it. What exactly is this exhibition hall showing?

"Ah! I know, the table lamp here is a magic item." A lady in a long skirt covered her mouth with a feather fan and stared at a copper table lamp with an elf statue with wide eyes, with a hint of surprise. said. The copper table lamp with the elf statue happened to have a night elf leaning against a giant tree in the Evernight Forest, holding a huge morning glory in his hand. The center of the morning glory is the wick, and soft light is emitted from the wick. Come.

The thin voice was a bit sharp, and I thought she might be a soprano singer in the opera house.

The sharp sound attracted many female companions to watch, and some people exclaimed: "What an exquisite lamp this is!"

The sharp voice added: "It would be nice to have such an exquisite lamp on the cabinet next to my bed."

There seemed to be a sour female voice next to her saying: "Are you afraid that in the dark, because you can't see your lover's face clearly, you will call the wrong lover's name?"

I didn't intend to eavesdrop, but they were chatting too loudly and it was impossible for me to cover my ears.

The sharp voice immediately counterattacked: "I just want to see their muscles as hard and strong as marble, but Janet, you don't have to, pick out any of those old guys lying on your bed. The face is full of wrinkles, just like the blooming autumn chrysanthemums, which is unappetizing. It is better to be in the dark and give yourself some room for reverie. "

The female companion next to her quickly said: "Hey, ladies and gentlemen, we are here to participate in the inscription display. If you want to make a noise, please go home and stop making noise. Don't be embarrassed here."

Such a group of aristocratic ladies gathered together and talked non-stop. Someone said: "Dear Maggie, since you like the table lamp here, why don't you ask the owner here if he would like to give the copper lamp to you?" Can I sell you a high-quality table lamp?”

The sharp voice also said to himself: "That's right, why didn't I ask?"

At this time, Scholar Yerkes walked up from the side and acted like a gentleman. When he approached them, he coughed twice: "Ahem! Ladies, do you need any help?"

The group of noble ladies quickly surrounded Scholar Yerkes. The lady holding a fan in her hand stared at Scholar Yerkes with her big round eyes and a charming smile on her face and said, "Are you the master here? Mr. Magician ”

Scholar Yerkes puffed up his thin chest, stood up energetically, and introduced himself to the ladies: "Please call me Yerkes, I am the creator of these copper magic lamps."

I sighed silently, maybe it was because Lady Cecilia had been gone for too long, the male hormones in his body were too strong, and Eve couldn't control him.

…

The reputation of Scholar Yerkes is now known to many people in the circle of inscribers.

Maybe not many people have seen Scholar Yerkes, but there must be many people who have heard of his name. At this time, when the surrounding visitors heard Scholar Yerkes announce his name, it immediately caused a small sensation. , people around who heard him gathered around.

Someone on the sidelines whispered: "...Yerkes scholar, he is indeed a Yerkes scholar..."

Another person said: "You mean he is the designer of the 'Devil's Fang', 'Big Bear's Power' and 'Earth Shield' magic pattern construction suit?"

The person before looked at the latter as if he were an idiot, and said, "If it wasn't him, who else could it be?..."

…

The lady with a round fan in her hand and a sharp voice, who was called Maggie, came close to Scholar Yerkes, looked at Scholar Yerkes up and down seriously, her eyes flashed with surprise, and whispered to Scholar Yerkes. He whispered: "Your Majesty the Magician of Yerkes, I like this elf statue lamp. Can you sell it to me?"

She moved the fan in her hand away from her face. That face was quite delicate, and her skin was well-maintained, with delicate and fair skin.

Scholar Yerkes' eyes fell on the white and greasy skin and did not move away. He said with a smile: "Before you buy this lamp, please allow me to introduce you to my work, so that maybe you can After purchasing this desk lamp, I will feel that it is more value for money. ”

Ms. Maggie looked at Scholar Yerkes with charming eyes and said, "Okay, I hope you can bring us some surprises."

Scholar Yekis put his fist to his mouth, cleared his throat, and then pretended to be deep and said: "This elf sculpture lamp is one of the twenty-two human statue lamps. There are also lamps of other ethnic statues in this exhibition hall. These lamps are not the kind of lamps that use moonstone wicks to emit light. The reason why they can emit soft warm light is that the wick is a magic rune board with the magic pattern of "Glimmer Illumination" engraved on the rune board. These are magic glows."

Ms. Maggie squinted her eyes, pursed her lips with a smug smile, and said softly: "This kind of magic light really makes people feel warm. It turns out that this kind of light is called warm light. It sounds really good. If you can put a lamp like this in the bedroom, it will probably bring a little warmth to the room in the cold winter."

The reflection of the copper lamp was reflected in her clear eyes.

I felt that she had no intention of paying. When she looked at Scholar Yekis, the confidence and satisfaction in her eyes were like the spider queen staring at the prey on the spider web.

…

Just when I was worried that Scholar Yekis would become the prey in Ms. Maggie's web, many magic merchants and noble lords gathered around Scholar Yekis. They came one by one because Scholar Yekis was standing here to explain the magic table lamp.

A magic merchant in the crowd asked Scholar Yekis: "Scholar Yekis, since you said that your magic table lamp also uses the magic rune plate, then where is its gem base set? I want to know if it is convenient to replace the magic crystal fragments. In addition, I also want to know how much magic this table lamp consumes, and how long can a magic crystal fragment keep it lit?"

Scholar Yekis saw that someone asked him a question, so he put the wine glass aside and patiently explained: "In fact, it is a very energy-saving magic table lamp. It only needs a trace of magic power to light up the rune plate, and then the magic rune plate of the wick will automatically be removed from the surrounding space. The lamp absorbs a little magic power from the air and continues to glow. Because it consumes too little magic power, this lamp does not need any magic crystal fragments. "

The magic merchants around immediately exclaimed: "Ah! A magic rune plate that does not consume magic crystals?"

Scholar Yekis quickly corrected them and said to them: "Please note that this lamp does not consume no magic power, but it consumes very little magic power."

The magic merchant who asked the question at the beginning asked again: "How long will it take for it to go out and replenish magic power?"

The magic merchant's questioning rhythm was well controlled, so that Ms. Maggie could not interrupt.

Scholar Yekis scratched his head, pondered for a while, and then said: "Theoretically, as long as it is not damaged and not placed in a magic-forbidden space, it will always be on."

Scholar Yekis's words immediately aroused the interest of many magic merchants. Some people hurriedly asked: "Is this lamp really as magical as you said?"

Scholar Yekis did not have a good face for the person who interrupted him, and said directly: "If you don't believe it, you can buy one back and put it in the house to observe it yourself. I will make a promise to you that if the lamp goes out without being damaged, I will compensate you with ten times the price."

The magic merchant who interrupted laughed and followed the words of Scholar Yekis, and continued: "I don't need you to compensate me with magic crystals. If it is really as you said, I will of course buy one back, but if it goes out not long after I buy it, I just hope you can Accept one of my orders. "

Yekis asked him blankly, "What order?"

The magic merchant smiled and said, "I hope to order the 'Power of the Giant Bear' magic pattern structure in your hand at the market price!"

Yekis was still very confident about this magic desk lamp, so he patted his chest and said, "I can promise you, but I must remind you not to have too high expectations for this. This situation basically won't happen."

The magic merchant took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said to the scholar Yekis flatteringly, "It's better to have hope than nothing!"

At this time, the magic merchants next to him were like a pot of boiling water, shouting:

"I want to buy one!"

"I want one too!"

"I want..."

The ladies in the crowd were suddenly surprised to find that the twenty-two copper desk lamps were snapped up by those hateful magic merchants...
