My Magic Age

I widened my eyes and asked Scholar Yekis, "Do you know what Lord Bruce wants to talk to me about?"

Scholar Yekis and Lord Bruce in the Institute have been close friends for many years. It was because of Lord Bruce's recommendation that Scholar Yekis was able to leave the War Magic Academy in El City and come to the Imperial Capital alone. After three years of silence in the Imperial Capital, he announced the three primary magic pattern structures to the magic world in the Imperial Capital, which caused a sensation in the Imperial Capital.

He took a sip of black tea, then raised his head and said to me, "Well, it's probably about the announcement of the new rune board drawings."

I asked in confusion, "This... haven't we announced it to the public?"

"Lord Bruce probably wants to give you some compensation in the name of the Magic Institute." Scholar Yekis replied.

It was snowing outside, falling from the gray sky. Pieces of goose feather-like snowflakes were constantly spinning in the sky, hitting the glass windows and piling up on the window panes. It seemed a little cold outside, and a layer of frost hung on the glass windows.

I leaned forward and said to the Yekis scholar in a low voice: "Didn't you tell him that even if we publicly release the new rune board drawings, it actually does not harm our interests?"

In the matter of publishing the new rune drawings, although it seems that the interests of me and the Yekis scholar are sacrificed, in fact, we are also the biggest beneficiaries.

Even if the Green Empire's inscription masters get some benefits for nothing, everyone knows the production process of the metal magic rune board, but even if they know the production method, what can they do? We have a huge advantage in production cost, and by promoting the metal magic rune board, we can also sell the magic rune drawings of this metal board, and in the future we can also provide a large amount of red copper solution to the magic market.

In this matter, the interests of the Babington family are probably greatly affected. These new magic rune boards will impact the market of the Babington family's primary blank rune boards to a certain extent.

Scholar Yekis spread his hands, indicating that he had said it.

He said to me: "I did say that, but he thinks this is a major event that can promote the development of the magic history of the Green Empire. No matter what the reason is, the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute should also give some comfort."

Hearing Scholar Yekis say this, I felt warm in my heart. I hurriedly ate the honey steak on the plate, wiped the oil stains on the corners of my mouth, and said: "Uh! Okay! To be honest, I really need to ask Lord Bruce for help recently."

I said to Ying Li: "Wait for me here at the research institute for a while. If you are bored, you can also go to the trading hall below, or go to the magic potion department to visit the trial of the new potion. We will go back to the Royal Magic Academy together later."

Ying Li nodded obediently and said to me: "I will wait for you in the trading hall on the first floor. I just want to go to the potion store to learn about the market situation of the potion market."

Although Ying Li majored in identifying magic herbs, she also knows the most basic methods of preparing magic herbs. For a potion master, it is natural to keep abreast of the situation of potions in the magic market.

I was in a hurry to see Vice President Bruce, so I left the institute cafeteria with scholar Yekis. Ying Li, Helena and Becky didn't have anything urgent to do, so they ate slowly while enjoying the snow outside. They also ordered a dessert.

Two weeks later, the Royal Magic Academy will have its final exams. After the exams, it will be a two-month winter vacation. I will also take this opportunity to go to the wild swamps of Qiyan City to find the ancient altar. Vice President Bruce once told me that in order to awaken the broken soul deep in the heart of Sister Guoguo's ice element body, three conditions are required: the soul horn that can awaken the sleeping soul, the soul gem that carries the broken soul, and the ancient altar required for the awakening ceremony. Only when these three conditions are met can we try to awaken Sister Guoguo's soul.

Justus had a soul horn in his hand, and I bought a soul gem from the auction house. As long as we find the ancient altar, the three conditions for awakening Sister Guoguo will be met. However, I still need the help of Lord Bruce to hold this awakening ceremony. He promised me that if I could meet these three conditions, he would help me awaken Sister Guoguo.

So before going to Qiyan City, I wanted to meet Vice Dean Bruce once and make an appointment with him in advance.

Unexpectedly, before I went to find him, he took the initiative to find me.

As the vice dean of the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, Lord Bruce manages most of the daily work of the institute. At the same time, he is also an elder of the House of Representatives of the Imperial Capital Magic Union. His usual work is also very busy. When Scholar Yekis and I rushed to see him, there was a group of people waiting patiently in the rest area at the door of Lord Bruce's office. When those people saw me and Scholar Yekis, they also nodded slightly to say hello.

Scholar Yekis and I sat down on the bench in the rest area. The people waiting at the door of Lord Bruce looked very strange. They should not be magic scholars of the institute.

Before I and Scholar Yekis arrived, these people were sitting there talking in low voices.

Scholar Yekis usually likes to wear a set of gray magic robes at the institute, and at this time, he has a hood on his head to cover his face. The magic assistant of Master Bruce recognized us at a glance and motioned us to wait here for a while. He turned around and walked into the office quietly.

At this time, I heard the people waiting at the door of Master Bruce continue to talk in low voices:

"I heard that the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute already has metal smelting technology. This time I want to buy the formula of red copper solution from the institute." A middle-aged noble sitting on the far left of the bench opposite said in a low voice.

A magician sat next to him, but it was obvious that this magician did not have the badge of the Imperial Capital Research Institute on his chest, so he should not be an insider of the institute. At this time, he asked: "What does the Alchemy Guild say?"

The middle-aged noble also sighed softly, and then said: "The Alchemy Guild has been concentrating on the research of "metal transformation" in recent years. Friends there said that this metal solution formula does not belong to the Alchemy Guild, so I came to the institute to try my luck."

The people around were listening to the conversation between the middle-aged noble and the magician, and the middle-aged noble obviously did not think that these words needed to be kept secret.

When the magician heard the middle-aged noble talking about metal transformation, he sneered twice and said, "Metal transformation of the Alchemy Guild? Haha! Is it the undead water that costs 800 magic crystals? If I buy this formula, I need to go without food and drink for at least 200 years, and I must have enough undead essence to earn back the water element transformed from it."

After hearing the magician's complaints, the two magicians on the opposite side were obviously unhappy. One of them immediately retorted, "No one forced you to buy it. This kind of transaction is voluntary."

It goes without saying that these two magicians came from the Alchemy Guild and immediately fought back when they heard someone mocking the Alchemy Guild.

The magician sitting opposite said without showing any weakness: "It's a pity that the Magic Guild doesn't have the courage to let the Alchemy Guild publish the formula for turning the dead into water for free, haha."

The two magicians from the Alchemy Guild were so angry that smoke came out of their heads and said: "You... you are so naive!"

In the imperial capital, many noble lords will sponsor or recruit some magicians for their own use. This middle-aged noble and the magician should have this kind of relationship, and the two magicians opposite should be from the Alchemy Guild. In a few words, the two groups of people started to mock each other like a needle against a wheat spike. In fact, I still want to know the transformation formula of "turning the dead into water". Simply put, it is to transform the essence of the dead into the essence of water through a magic ritual.

The essence of water is a high-level magic material. Only high-level water element creatures can breed water essence, such as the water contract partner of scholar Sean, but this kind of water element is difficult to hunt.

As for the essence of the dead, it is the essence bred in the soul fire of the undead. However, this kind of undead essence is very rare in ordinary skeletons and zombies. At least it can only be crystallized from ghosts or vampires. Although it is not easy to obtain, the essence of the dead is much easier to obtain than the essence of water elements, especially now that the Pai Plateau has been invaded by the undead army, and the strong men of the orc tribe will inevitably obtain some undead essence.

Hearing them talking about "undead water", I suddenly realized that there is actually a huge business opportunity in front of me. While the orc tribe is fighting with the undead army, I should let Marvin send people to the orc tribe to purchase a batch of undead essence. No, at least I have to understand the market situation of the imperial capital magic market first...

I was thinking about how to operate this matter, and I heard the magic assistant of Lord Bruce came out of the room, walked in front of me and Scholar Yekis, and said: "Scholar Yekis, Magician Jijia, please follow me."

Hearing the magic assistant say this, the air at the door of the office seemed to solidify instantly, and everyone shut up because of suffocation.

"..."

When we were about to enter Lord Bruce's office, the group of people resumed chatting. The middle-aged noble sighed and said, "It's Yekis scholar. Oh! Why didn't I see it just now? In the morning, I also attended the public release of the new rune board drawings in front of the Inscriptionist Union Building. Why didn't I see it just now!"

The magician sitting next to him persuaded very rationally: "Forget it, everyone has walked in, why are you still sighing there, think about what to do..."

...

Vice Dean Bruce got up to see off a group of guests. Yekis scholar and I waited in front of the square table of the magic assistant. When Vice Dean Bruce turned around and came back, he said to me kindly with a smile: "I have seen the design of your new magic rune board. The design is very clever. "

As he said this, he put his arm around my shoulders and walked into the office. Vice Dean Bruce was a burly man, and he looked very majestic in his wide magic robe. I was about to blame the incident on Scholar Yekis, but he interrupted me directly, "Don't tell me that Yekis designed it. I know Yekis better than you do. I have been his close friend for more than 20 years. Although he has countless wonderful ideas in the primary magic pattern, he is a very traditional magician. He said that the magic rules he abides by will never try this new magic pattern, but the magic world of the Green Empire should have fresh blood like you who are full of new ideas and vitality. "

Scholar Yekis and I looked at each other, and Yekis told me with his eyes that he had not said this to Lord Bruce.

Lord Bruce took us into the meeting area, and we sat down around a round table. The assistant brought bitter tea with the taste of Concentrating Grass.

Lord Bruce waved his hand and said: "Since the magic giant crossbow showed great effect in the plane war, the Magic Guild sent a letter to the institute, asking me to come forward to persuade you to publish the design drawings of the new magic pattern. I ignored them at first. Later, as the wars in the planes of Hierro, Luoqi, and Ahn'Qilado were won one after another, they also realized that the new magic pattern showed great power on the battlefield, so they kept urging me. "

I'm a little depressed. No matter what I do, the Magic Guild seems to want to get involved.

Lord Bruce continued to tell me: "The people from the Magic Guild went too far regarding the fishskin hood, so I kept suppressing this matter. Later, I communicated with Yerkes in private, and he said I’ll discuss it with you, but I didn’t expect you to agree so readily.”

The reason why I agreed was actually to expand the market for metal magic rune boards and let more people accept this new type of rune board.

Lord Bruce said with emotion: "In the past two years, the new magic pattern has been continuously conquering the magic market and carving out a world in the imperial capital in a very barbaric way. This shows that the new magic pattern rune board is better than the traditional rune board. This time you can publicly release the drawings of the new magic rune board, which is also promoting the development of the Green Empire's magic rune board. In view of the contributions you and Yerkes have made to the new magic rune board, the Imperial Magic Research Institute I think I’ll give you some rewards.”

He looked at Scholar Yerkes first, then at me, and said, "So I plan to ask for your opinions to see what kind of rewards you need, epic magic wands, high-level magic materials, a sum of Magic crystals, taboo-level magic books, a territory on a certain plane, or something else. You can propose it. If you can satisfy it, the institute will not be too stingy."

When I heard Mr. Bruce say that the institute would give us certain rewards, Scholar Yerkes and I looked at each other. Scholar Yerkes was not polite and took the lead in saying: "If there is a suitable one, I would really like a copy. A magic book about magic patterns."

"Jijia, what about you?" Master Bruce asked me with a smile.
