My Magic Age

The yard behind the grocery store was messy and crowded. Marvin invited us to the grocery store, and Si Pei hurried to the kitchen to make tea for us.

The best-selling products in this magic grocery store are still magic scrolls. These magic scrolls were purchased by Marvin from magic apprentices in the magic academy. In the past two years, he has been implementing the strategy we decided when we ran the magic grocery store together, encouraging and funding magic apprentices in the magic academy to draw the simplest magic scrolls.

In El City, the most useful two-week magic scrolls are the "Water Gathering Array" and "Fire Gathering Magic Scrolls".

In recent years, Marvin, who has been promoted to a magician, has been deeply studying these two primary magic scrolls. He also wrote a book called "Illustrated" for these two primary magic arrays, which simply and concisely explains how to draw the "Fire Gathering Magic Array", what to pay attention to during the drawing process, and so on.

And Si Pei has been running this ice shop called "Red Bean Sha Bing" very carefully. This ice shop is very popular in summer.

Sitting on the sofa in the lounge area of ​​the magic grocery store, Marvin put his arm around Si Pei's shoulders and said to me: "We are like this now. Whether we get married or not is just a formality. Does it make any difference?"

I secretly glanced at Si Pei. There was a faint expectation in her eyes. It seemed that she still wanted Marvin to give her a wedding.

So I said to Marvin: "After all, there must be a ceremony!"

Staring into Marvin's eyes, I continued to say to him: "Don't forget who saved you from the tiger's mouth, who took such careful care of you in Xinliu Valley, and who has been silently with you for so many years."

Marvin became a little dazed for a while and said: "I know, I remember all this in my heart."

Si Pei sat quietly beside Marvin. Her eyes swept across Katrina, Ying Li, Helena and Becky from time to time, and she looked at Helena with envy at the exquisite thorn-tail crystal lion leather armor she wore.

Ying Li smiled gently at Si Pei and said, "Ji Jia and I came back from the imperial capital in a hurry this time, so we were a little hasty when preparing the small gifts."

As he spoke, Ying Li nodded gently to Helena, motioning her to take out the prepared gifts. This time when Ying Li came to El City, he not only brought a gift to everyone in my family, but also to my friends.

Because Helena and Ying Li had a relationship of "soul connection" magic contract, they were in tune with each other. Without Ying Li saying anything specific, she took out some boxes of different sizes from the magic waist bag and placed them on the tea table.

Si Pei looked at the gifts on the table with surprise, and asked Ying Li with a smile: "Are these gifts for me and Marvin? Can I open them?"

"Of course." Ying Li said with a faint smile.

The gifts Ying Li prepared were not very expensive, but each one was full of the characteristics of the imperial capital, from the silk long skirt to the exquisite headdress, it seemed that each one was full of the thoughts of Ying Li and me. Every time a box was opened, Si Pei would exclaim, and it seemed that she liked every gift very much.

Marvin told me that he opened a branch of the grocery store in Xinghai City. This autumn, the "Frost" scroll sold very well in Xinghai City. Many fish merchants bought frost scrolls and transported fresh sea fish to every city in the province of Schloit, so that residents in inland cities could also taste fresh sea fish. Therefore, many fish merchants made some money.

The fish merchants who tasted the sweetness planned to do several big deals after the sea opened in spring.

Marvin, who graduated from the War Magic Academy, did not have a deep attainment in the road of magic, but he already had the confidence of a successful person. He clearly knew that he might not be able to become a famous magician in the future, so he resolutely became a magic merchant.

I patted Marvin's shoulder. The prosthesis in Oriana Magic Shop was very delicate, with only a slight joint mark on his shoulder.

I said to Marvin: "By the way, Marvin, do you want to go to the Imperial Capital with me?"

"Okay, but... what can I do there?" Marvin lowered his head and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

I said to him: "Please open your magic sundries store in the Imperial Capital. I have a rune board workshop there, which can provide you with some good sources of goods. I have a lot of new ideas, but unfortunately I don't have time to do these things. I want you to go to the Imperial Capital and open up some situations for these goods in the Imperial Capital."

Marvin asked me curiously: "What are these?"

I took out three magic items from the magic waist bag one after another, namely a copper hot pot, an exhaust fan and a refrigerator.

I pointed to the copper hot pot at my feet and said, "This... we call it a copper hot pot. It can be used to blanch meat and keep warm. The principle is the fire-gathering rune plate at the bottom of the pot... It is very popular in the imperial city. I brought back a lot of this thing. You can also put it in the magic grocery store to try and see if it is also popular in El City?"

As I said this, I wanted to take out a piece of magic crystal stone fragment from my magic waist bag. When my hand reached my waist, I remembered that I gave the purse to Ryant last night.

At this time, I heard Marvin say, "Isn't this the heating stove in the imperial city? I know it. Do you call it a copper hot pot?"

He quickly took out a magic crystal fragment, squatted down next to the copper hot pot, and installed the magic crystal fragment on the magic rune board. When he saw green flames coming out of the rune board, he raised his head and faced I smiled and said, "To be honest, I occasionally think about the hot-pot meat I had when I was exploring Xinliu Valley. When I think about that spicy special sauce, I feel like my mouth is watering."

I poured a pot of tea into the copper hotpot to prevent it from drying out.

Then asked Marvin: "Do you think this kind of heater will be marketable in Ayr City?"

Marvin thought for a while and then said: "The nobles in El City can't compare with the dignitaries in the imperial capital, and they don't have the courage to spend a lot of money. Whether this thing can be sold here mainly depends on It depends on how much the selling price is. If the price is reasonable, the sales will be very good. After all, the nobles of the entire Green Empire are trying to imitate the life in the imperial capital. "

I said to Marvin: "The price of this copper hot pot is only about one-third of the price of the fire-gathering rune board on the market."

Marvin said to me in surprise: "It's so cheap, so what's the profit point?"

I explained to Marvin: "The rune board it uses is different from ordinary rune boards. After all, this kind of rune board is very cheap to make."

Then, Marvin looked at the exhaust fan made of a simple wooden box placed in front of my feet. He said, "Is this an exhaust fan? We also have one here, but the style and texture are better than yours." It’s more attractive. This is a square box. I’ve seen other magic shops with marble and metal shells. In terms of appearance, it beats yours.”

The refrigerator placed next to the exhaust fan is also very simple. From the outside, it looks like a wooden box.

Marvin asked me: "What is this?"

I said, "Fridge."

Marvin looked around the refrigerator and asked, "What is this thing for? Is it used to make ice?"

I shook my head and said to Marvin: "This thing can't make ice, but it can preserve food."

Marvin blinked, and it took him a while to realize that this wooden box relied on the ice in the box to keep the food fresh. However, it happened to be a severe winter, so Marvin was not that interested in this thing, and complained to me: "What's the use of this thing? Do you think it's not cold enough here?"

However, Si Pei next to me asked me: "If I put ice cubes and smoothies in here in the summer, will they not melt?"

I said: "Of course!"

Si Pei opened the lid of the refrigerator, looked inside, and then said, "Then this design is very good!"

Si Pei opened a red bean smoothie shop next to the Magic Grocery Store. He was very interested in this kind of refrigerator that can keep the ice cubes from melting in the summer. While we were talking about this, the door of the grocery store was blocked by someone. Pushing away from the outside, Bobby walked in from the outside with a round belly, shouting loudly: "Jijia, are you back?"

Bobby was wearing a gorgeous fox fur coat and aristocratic clothes underneath. He walked in from the door of the store with great momentum. After not seeing him for a year, he had obviously gained weight and grown a lot in height. He was full of the aura of the nouveau riche.

I sat on the sofa and reached out to greet him.

After Bobby graduated from the Junior Magic Academy, he inherited his father's business and gradually took over the family's slave trading business in El City. Bobby was very business-minded and had a very keen sense of the slave market. It is said that he took over the family business Very well cared for.

It was rare for us friends to get together, so naturally we had a lot to talk about. Ying Li was also very familiar with Bobby, so we all had a great time chatting.

Later, Bobby told me about the three spider warriors I gave him. I didn’t expect that the spider warriors had such thick armor, but they couldn’t adapt to the severe cold in the north. They all died soon after arriving in El City. Frozen to death. Now Bobby can only make three spider-man sculptures. The ferocious-looking Nibru spider-man warriors are placed at the gate of the slave market, and they seem to be able to intimidate many people at once.

Some people who visit the slave market for the first time will subconsciously think that these spider warriors are hunted by slave owners in the slave market. No matter who is able to hunt such huge spider warriors, they should be respected. So many people think that this very powerful demon hunter is stationed in the slave market, so there are very few people making trouble in the slave market recently.

"You told me in your letter that you want me to help you keep an eye on the orc slaves in the underground slave market in the Northern Province, and you want me to pay for the resettlement of the orc wanderers who have strayed from the Pai Plateau to the Northern Territory. I am concerned about this. I'll do it for you and let me be placed in the slave camp. Why are you looking for these orcs?" Bobby asked me.

"I plan to organize an army composed of orc warriors and go to the outskirts of El City to hunt the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra." I said to Bobby.

When Bobby heard what I said, his eyes widened immediately and he asked me: "Form an army? Jijia, have you made a fortune in the imperial capital?"

It seemed that Bobby knew that the resources needed to build an army were huge, so he couldn't help but ask me.

I nodded and said: "When I was in the imperial capital, I gained a lot from my two outings. I made an agreement with a Duke to build a small town on its territory within two years. If If a town is built, that area will become my territory. Since a town is to be built, not only must the facilities in the town be fully prepared, but the security of the town is also a big issue. "

"So you thought of those orcs?" Bobby asked me with his eyes widening.

I nodded in acknowledgement.

"If you choose to build a town on the plane at this time, are you not afraid that if the situation of the plane war reverses, everything you have will be in vain?" Bobby then asked me.

I smiled and said to Bobby: "You have to show some courage and take a gamble. If you win, you will have everything. If you lose, you will have to start over."

When Bobby heard what I said, he could only nod helplessly, and then said, "Okay, when will you come with me to see the orcs in the resettlement camp?"

I stood up from the couch and said to Bobby, "Now!"

Bobby didn't expect that I would be so eager to see those orcs, so he sat in the chair with a look of shock on his face. After he walked into the magic grocery store, he didn't even have time to drink a glass of water.

In this way, Bobby took us to the slave resettlement camp next to the slave market in El City.

Sitting in the magic caravan, Bobby leaned on the sofa in the corner and said to me: "To be honest, those orcs are really smelly and hard-tempered, and they are rude and difficult to manage. More importantly, they are not slaves. , we have no way to crack down on them. There are many well-trained war slaves in my slave camp. They are all human slaves with a little bit of orc blood. They are young and strong, and they have all signed slave contracts. They are very reliable. ”

Bobby then suggested to me: "Otherwise, you can hire one or two mercenary groups from the mercenary guild in El City, take them to your plane, and let them help you guard the town. Do this Although the cost is higher, once the town is invaded and the mercenary group is reduced, you will not suffer any losses. "

I shook my head and said, "Forget it, let's take a look at those orcs first."

Bobby spread his hands, shrugged and said, "Whatever!"

The magic caravan drove into the slave market in El City. At this time, I saw two statues of Spider-Man warriors placed at the gate of the slave market. People passing by the slave market all stopped to watch. Everyone came to admire these statues. As for the powerful warriors from the dark forces in the Abyss, the door of the slave market was filled with people.
