My Magic Age

Through the clean glass window, Betty just happened to walk in from outside the manor holding an account book.

The gatekeeper in the gatehouse ran out to open the door attentively. She greeted the gatekeeper enthusiastically and walked all the way from the gate to the courtyard steps. The maids and servants she met took the initiative to salute her. Her face was full of confidence and smile. She nodded to every servant who greeted her, and occasionally chatted with her, but her footsteps never stopped.

Betty wore a pair of exquisite riding boots on her feet, a pair of sheepskin tight breeches on her lower body, a white shirt with lace on her upper body, and a brown sheepskin vest on the outside. There was no ornament hanging around her neck, only a thin rope with a bunch of copper keys tied on it. Her curly hair was tied into a ponytail, looking simple and capable.

In a year, Betty, who followed Alia, has become a deputy who can stand alone.

Alia was sitting in front of the dressing table in a silk pajamas, her white skin was slightly flushed, and she was combing her slightly fluffy golden curly hair with a comb. I stood by the terrace with a wine glass in my hand, my elbows resting on the marble slab of the windowsill, and she looked at me with a smile.

"The first batch of leather sent to Haiyinsi City left the airport town on the magic airship 'Haiyinsi' last Monday." She said.

When Alia said these words, her body sat straight in the chair, her slender neck was as straight as a noble white swan, and her smile contained the most charming things of the women of the Green Empire. She asked me, "Is the leather craftsman named Fred your distant relative?"

I took a sip of golden apple wine and replied, "Well, when I was wandering with an old orc in the caravan, he taught me a lot of things, such as some skinning techniques."

Autumn in El City comes a little earlier than in the imperial capital. Every year when the harvest festival is approaching, it is the day to brew golden apple wine.

I walked behind Alia and stared at the woman in the mirror.

"Are those an indelible memory of your childhood?" She looked up when she asked me, and spread her arms like white lotus roots to hook my neck and kiss me.

"Almost." I gently tapped her forehead, and thought of the endless New Siachis Mountains in my mind, and sighed softly: "In fact, he is a very good leatherworker."

Alia curled her lips and disagreed with what I said. She said to me: "Come on! I sent someone to find out about this Mr. Fred. So far, he is just an ordinary leatherworker. He is best at making fire-resistant cowhide aprons for blacksmith workshops. He has no experience in making any leather armor."

I put the empty wine glass on the table, and the maid next to me held the wine bottle and asked me with her eyes if I wanted more wine. I smiled and shook my head.

I pressed my fingertips on Alia's soft lips and said to her, "When he was in the caravan, he often made leather armor for the guards in the caravan. Although he has never made magic leather armor, I believe that he is fully capable of doing this job with his skills."

Alia is a sexy woman, and she is also smart enough. When she saw me say this, she said:

"Oh, you have the final say on this matter!"

I thought that since she asked some questions about Uncle Fred, she would naturally talk about Sister Singer. After waiting for a while and not seeing her mention it, I couldn't help asking her:

"Don't you want to ask something else?"

Her eyes were not The most beautiful, but charming enough, especially when she squinted her eyes, she asked me:

"For example?"

I said: "About Sister Singh?"

She smiled lightly and asked me: "Singer, the personal maid of His Highness Qi Ge? What do you want me to ask you?"

She actually knew Sister Singh's past, maybe because she knew Qi Ge better, I could only laugh and said: "Ha, nothing... By the way, have you ever thought about going to an island for vacation?"

She raised her curved eyebrows, raised her head with interest and asked: "With you?"

"Of course!" I nodded and said yes.

"Only the two of us?" She asked again, and her eyes clearly had a teasing taste.

Well, it tasted like honey.

I smiled, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "If you want this!"

"Okay!" she said.

When she said this, her eyes smiled more curved.

…

Through the trees outside the courtyard wall, I could vaguely see one after another magic wagons carrying goods driving out of the alley.

With the increasing number of magic engraving machines in Xinliugu Magic Seal Workshop, the production capacity of the Magic Seal Workshop has exploded again. The magic rune plates Murray received this time can probably maintain the production needs of the Rune Workshop for nearly a month. The next problem I faced was the expansion of the Rune Workshop. In fact, as early as two months ago, Murray proposed a plan to expand the Rune Workshop, but I rejected it.

Although His Majesty Charles has no physical problems, I can't help but consider the development of the Rune Workshop in the imperial capital. After all, after I married Ying Li, even if I was branded with the imprint of Prince James's line, Prince Charles, the heir to the throne of the Green Empire, was not close to Prince James. As we all know, Prince James appreciates Prince of Wales more, and there are some conflicts between me and Prince George. Any of the above points is enough for me to move the magic workshop away from the imperial capital.

Noah has invited me. He and Louis both want me to develop in the Vashj plane, or go to Ignace City in Palestina Province. There is a beautiful emerald bay there, and Sea Sound City is also good. choice.

For me, the North is my hometown. In fact, I prefer to move these workshops to Sloit City.

The knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" woke me up from my reverie.

Aaliya was tying a corset with the help of the maid. She tried her best to tighten her abdomen and lift her chest, and then exhaled the excess air in her chest, trying to make her waist look slimmer. She said calmly: "Come in !”

The bedroom door was pushed open, and Betty stood at the door. She said to Aaliyah and me: "Master, Murray is here."

Aaliya glanced at me, saw me nodding in agreement, and said to Betty, "Ask him to wait in the living room for a while."

"Okay, Master." After saying that, Betty withdrew.

The maid next to me helped me straighten my white shirt and fasten the cuff buttons. She also brought a pair of polished leather boots and squatted in front of me to help me put them on. She checked that there was nothing wrong with what she was wearing. , I walked down the stairs along the corridor and rushed to the living room on the first floor to see Murray.

Murray was sitting quietly on a chair in the living room, drinking a cup of black tea. When he saw me pushing the door open and walking in, he quickly stood up to greet me.

His eyes were filled with fine red bloodshot eyes. It looked like he had not slept well in the past few nights. I walked over and patted his shoulder and said to him: "I was temporarily delayed by some things. Here at the rune workshop. How is the situation?"

The smile on Murray's face was uglier than crying. The nasolabial folds on his face were very deep, and he showed a wry smile. He said to me: "In the past two days, the door of the rune workshop has almost been stepped on by those magic merchants. It's broken. We have never had so many businessmen come to work at the same time. I heard that the supply of goods in the workshop is in short supply. The number of merchants waiting at the door to pick up goods is actually twice as many as usual, and the purchase volume of each magic merchant is almost double compared to usual. God knows those magic merchants It came out of nowhere."

He poured out his bitterness in front of me, and it seemed that he must have suffered a lot in the past few days.

I asked him: "How are the arrangements at the workshop?"

Murray patted his chest and said to me: "I have sent people to summon the hired workers. We must rush to make a batch of copper hot pots and exhaust fans tonight. In fact, those copper hot pots and exhaust fans are very simple to install. They will definitely be ready tomorrow morning." Resume normal supply.”

Then Murray told me something about the promise that Duke Billy Babington made to the rune board merchants in the imperial capital. For the inscription masters in the imperial capital, the Babington family began to produce primary blank rune boards. .

"Recently, a large number of primary magic rune boards produced in San Carlos City have poured into the Imperial City. The price of these red copper-plated magic rune boards is also low enough. As a result, many fire-gathering rune boards and miniatures in the imperial capital have not been made for a long time. The tornado inscription master felt that it was profitable again. Although these hand-made magic The price of the magic rune board is ten silver coins higher than ours, but it is still somewhat competitive in the rune market. It is also a basic magic rune board, but some people in the imperial capital prefer the city of San Carlos. "Mo. When Li said this, he seemed a little excited and banged the armrest of the chair with his hand.

I gently rubbed my eyebrows and said to Murray: "Then it's up to you to come forward this time and inform the magic merchants who have cooperative relations with us that the prices of copper hot pots and exhaust fans will be reduced by another twenty silver coins. "

Murray's expression froze when he heard what I said.

After a long while, he said to me: "Well,...that is to say, each of the 'Fire Gathering' magic rune board and the 'Miniature Tornado' rune board only costs thirty silver coins? This price is just right. It is the commission fee of the junior inscription master of the Imperial City for the junior magic rune board, unless the rune The board dealer provides the inscription masters with blank rune boards free of charge, otherwise they would not be able to lower the resale price to thirty silver coins. Oh my God, I don’t know who will sign with the rune board merchants tomorrow! Will the inscription master of the agreement be furious when he hears this news..."

He didn't ask me if I would lose money. It seemed that he had some confidence in me.

Then he asked: "...What about the refrigerator?"

I thought for a while and said: "The price of refrigerators will not be lowered for the time being, but those refrigerators may make some design changes in the future. The refrigerators made in the workshop are too rough. This kind of refrigerator can only be sold to fish shops, not People will like this big wooden box. We need to put a more sophisticated refrigerator on the market. It should be It is made into a storage cabinet in the kitchen. I will give you the design for this, and you can find a carpenter. Oh, let’s find a coppersmith. This kind of storage cabinet needs to be made more high-end. What we have to face The customers are not the fish merchants in the imperial capital, but the noble lords in the imperial capital. After autumn, the refrigerator will enter the off-season, which is perfect for transformation! "

The refrigerator in the magic shop in the Imperial City looks like a large wooden box in a cellar. It is very rough. It is covered with a thick quilt and has four 'Continuous Frost' runes nailed to the four walls. Some wooden boxes don't even have lids tightly closed, so cold air can easily escape, so some people have no choice but to put a layer of quilt on the refrigerator to prevent the cold air from dissipating quickly.

Murray heard what I said and immediately agreed.

"How is the lampshade of the magic table lamp in the copper workshop doing?" I asked Murray.

Betty brought me a cup of tea and placed it in front of me.

Aaliya also put on her dress and walked downstairs.

When Murray saw Alia, he immediately stood up respectfully, showing a look of respect. Alia made a gesture of "Please Murray continue", and he sat down again with some restraint, and said to me: "The first batch of 500 copper figure lamps have been made."

I calculated for a while and said: "Very good, the day after tomorrow I will go to the warehouse to get the magic rune plate of "Glimmer Illumination", and the initial selling price will be set at 25 silver coins, okay, that's it!"

Hearing my price, Murray was a little surprised. He asked me with a puzzled look: "But...but boss, the lampshades of these copper figure statues are a little more expensive than copper hot pots. Could it be that these... Shouldn't the price of the lamp be set higher? "

I said, "I want these magic table lamps to open up the market as soon as possible. After all, candles and kerosene lamps on the market are cheap, and even whale oil is not that expensive. If we want to open up the situation in the imperial capital, we still have to spend some time, so we will temporarily make 500 units to test the waters. "

In fact, for magic table lamps, I have a more bold sales plan. This kind of magic product is not a necessity, because there are cheaper candles and oil lamps. Magic table lamps have some petty bourgeoisie style. There are many people in the imperial capital who can afford to buy table lamps, but how to let them know about these magic table lamps is the most important thing.

"Okay, boss, I'll listen to you." Murray didn't think much about it. In his opinion, magic items are high-end luxury goods that only nobles can afford.

... Just like that, in this autumn, the magic market in the imperial capital ushered in the third major price reduction of primary magic rune plates. The extent of this price reduction directly lowered the prices of the two rune plates of "Fire Gathering" and "Mini Tornado" again - as long as those primary inscription masters want to earn the labor fee, the rune plate workshop will be unprofitable or even lose money.

This also forced the inscription masters who wanted to draw these two magic rune arrays to reduce the labor fee of engraving the magic rune array.

This move immediately caused some inscription masters in the imperial capital to complain...

As the instigator of the incident, I appeared in the classroom of the Royal Magic Academy safely the next morning.
