My Magic Age

"The first time I saw him, I took a magic airship with my brother to sell golden cider in the imperial capital. At the airport, he jumped out of the carriage wearing a knight's light armor and hugged his brother. His golden With curly hair and hearty laughter, it seemed like the entire airport was spinning around us.”

Aaliya raised her head and drank the golden cider in the goblet. Her swan-white neck showed a graceful arc, and her eyes seemed to be immersed in that beautiful memory.

I have never known Colin, but I do know Count Zimmerman, a strong knight who would rather bend than bend and abide by tradition.

Lady Arya poured another glass of golden cider from the bottle.

She turned to look at the wall of the restaurant, where an oil painting hung.

The oil painting was smeared with thick oil paint, depicting a magnificent mountain and river. On the grassland at the foot of the mountain, a knight led a heavy armored cavalry regiment and was marching towards the distance of the grassland. From Lady Alia's eyes, It can be seen that the knight in the painting is Colin Babington, Marquis.

Her smile was bitter, as if she was murmuring to herself: "He said his name was Colin Babington, and he was the best friend with his brother in the Advanced Knight Academy. I can never forget that he once He took me around the entire imperial capital, and we were watching the sunset on the edge of Weiyang Lake. At that time, he said he wanted to give me a plane. "

A mature woman is as beautiful as a glass of fragrant wine, and her intoxicating eyes are like a veil in the dark night.

Mrs. Alia continued: "Haha, how ridiculous the oath is! It was in order to fulfill his ridiculous oath in the plane that he buried his life in the Angela plane."

I think that if a man can die on the battlefield, his life should not be considered a failure. This idea comes from the orc tribe.

The northern land has been baptized by war all year round. The barbarians on the ice and snow tundra launch large-scale attacks on various areas on the northern border every year. The people there have strong folk customs. Many families are willing to join the army after the boys participate in the ceremony. Only those who come back alive from the battlefield are considered to have a complete life, where there is often only a thin line between life and death.

I said lightly: "For the glory of the empire!" This sentence will be on the lips of almost every northerner.

The ice cubes in the glass kept hitting the wall. I took a sip of the golden cider. When I looked at Mrs. Alia, I realized that her cheeks were already red from drinking and her eyes were blurred.

I'm afraid that only when she is drinking can she speak her true feelings. Maybe this way she will feel better.

She took another sip and said, "He likes to make friends. At that time, he was the first heir of the Babington family. The adults in the family were very optimistic about him and supported him, so he was in the imperial capital. Many friends said that the rune metal plates produced by the Babington family were very popular in Green. At that time, the trading house in the imperial capital was managed by his friend Edgar. Colin said that he was a man of quick thinking. Very smart and trusting him.”

It turns out that Marquis Edgar was originally a friend of Colin Babington.

Mrs. Alia said: "At that time, Edgar had always been running the business in the imperial capital. He would come here in a magic caravan almost every day and submit the day's business status to Colin. He managed the store well. very good."

It seems that every heir to a noble family will do business in the imperial capital. This is the case for Louis Mensah. Unexpectedly, the same is true for Colin Babington.

As I thought, Mrs. Alia said: "During the time after Colin's death, I was not in the mood to manage the family's business in the Imperial Capital. The business situation of the Magic Store in the Imperial Capital also plummeted. Later, I learned from my friends that it was Edgar did some tricks to make profits, and from then on, I started to learn management and operation bit by bit.”

When the sharp sword hanging above the head disappears, driven by interests, it is inevitable that there will be cases of self-defense and self-stealing.

Mrs. Alia added: "Later, I found an opportunity to drive Edgar out of the magic shop."

The slim maid brought over a large plate of stew, filled a spoon full of it, and put it on my plate. I nodded and thanked her, and she walked past me with a smile.

I picked up the spoon and put a large piece of stew into my mouth. It was the meat from the belly of the fine one-horned bison. It melted in my mouth, was soft and delicious.

It is also extremely delicious to dip the wheat cakes in the thick soup.

Seeing how delicious my meal was, she imitated me and asked the maid for a small piece of soft baked wheat cake, then poured a spoonful of soup on top of the wheat cake, and carefully pinched the edge of the wheat cake with two fingers. Putting it into her mouth, the taste of gravy and wheat immediately mixed into one in her mouth. Her red and sexy lips gently wrapped her fingers, which were as white and tender as green onions, stained with the soup. In an instant, There are thousands of styles and sentiments among them.

I quickly gathered my thoughts and asked Mrs. Alia vaguely: "What about the contract Edgar just mentioned?"

Mrs. Alia took a deep look at me and said: "The Babington family controls the largest magic industrial base in San Carlos City. Nearly half of the rune metal plates in the entire Green Empire come to San Carlos City. There is a complete blacksmithing process there that can plate magical metal on any metal surface. Colin is there. The magic shop run by the Imperial City mainly sells rune metal plates. I took over his store and did not change the business items. To be honest, the magic rune plates produced by the Babington family are still very popular in the Imperial City. I just need to focus on reviewing them. Accounts, even if you don’t understand marketing, you can keep the magic store afloat.”

"Originally everything went smoothly, but after the Plane War broke out, the Angela Multi-Plane controlled by the Babington family was invaded by the dark forces of the Abyss, and a large number of troops were restrained in the Angela Multi-Plane. The family's magic industrial base is in a state of semi-stop production. The Babington family controls resources in more than a dozen planes. Riots in varying degrees broke out in those planes at this time, and more than 70% of the mines are currently in a state of collapse. Discontinued status."

"So the Duke of Babington issued an announcement two weeks ago. Due to insufficient magic metal reserves, the family will suspend the processing of all civil rune metal plates from now on. But when the announcement was delivered to me, it happened to be It was two days later than expected, and just the night before, I happened to take another order. ”

Having said this, she frowned and took out a magic parchment contract from her arms. Formal orders were all made of this magic contract, and the contents on it were bound by magic.

I asked him: "Does Edgar have that order?"

Mrs. Alia nodded and said: "Edgar did not leave the Imperial Capital after I drove him away. He owned a trading house in the Imperial Capital. This is why I learned about this batch of magic runes after seeing his order. The metal plate was custom-made by him.”

I asked her again: "Is it true that the San Carlos City Magic Industrial Base can't do it?"

Mrs. Alia's eyes dimmed at this time. She was a little embarrassed, but she still mustered up the courage to speak out: "There are also people in the family who are obstructing this matter. In addition, the magic metal stored in the family warehouse is now being used up. To make magic weapons such as magic trebuchets, magic bed crossbows, and magic cannons, it is impossible to use additional resources to produce civil magic rune metal plates. "

I said: "It turns out that the root cause is here! So which part of the Magic Industrial Base is faulty? Is it caused by insufficient production capacity or insufficient raw materials?"

Mrs. Alia replied: "The raw materials are mainly because the mithril mine in Angela's multi-dimensional world has stopped production. Those magic rune boards must be coated with a layer of mithril. Now all mithril must be used for In the manufacture of magic cannons and magic catapults, there is no excess mithril for the manufacture of civil magic rune boards.”

I was wandering around the magic material market on the first floor of the Tower of Pride in the morning, and I didn’t feel that magic materials like mithril were scarce.

So I asked Mrs. Alia: "So have you tried to buy some mithril from the magic market?"

Mrs. Alia smiled bitterly: "It's useless. There won't be such a large amount of mithril circulating in the magic market now."

I thought for a long time and then tried to ask: "So are there any other alternatives?"

Mrs. Alia took another sip of wine from the wine glass, and then said: "Unless it is higher-grade thorium and gold essence, but these expensive magic metals are more expensive and rarer than mithril, who else can Will you sell those high-end magic resources?"

I thought that I still had a large amount of magic copper in my warehouse, so I asked: "What about magic copper? Can magic copper be used instead of mithril?"

Her eyes fell on the goblet in her hand, and Mrs. Alia shook her head feebly. She was a little drunk.

He paused for a moment and then said: "The magic power of magic copper is far inferior to that of mithril. Magic copper can be used to make some low-level magic rune metal plates. To make intermediate magic rune plates, at least one plate must be plated on them." layer of mithril.”

Originally, I thought I could use the magic copper stored in the underground warehouse to help Lady Alia tide over the difficulties, but now it seems that this method is not feasible.

Thinking of the contract, I asked again: "What is the compensation in the contract?"

Mrs. Alia rested her head on her arms, leaned on the dining table, and said drunkenly: "That magic shop in the imperial capital."

I was speechless again. No wonder Madam Aaliya was so hesitant. If this magic shop in the imperial capital was lost, it would be equivalent to completely losing the market in the imperial capital. At that time, Madam Aaliya would be under the influence of Babin. Despite the accusations from the Dun Family Presbyterian Council, he might be excluded from the fringes of the family.

I originally wanted to talk to her about the magic pattern spider silk business, but I didn't say anything until the end of the dinner.

Seeing how drunk she was, I turned to her maid and ordered: "Mrs. Aaliya is drunk, help her back to the room and have a good rest. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first!"

The personal maid of Lady Alia lowered her head and said softly: "Madam has asked us to prepare a room. Master Jijia Magician can rest here for the night!"

"When Madam Aaliya wakes up, thank Madam for your hospitality."

After saying that, I put a silver coin in the hand of the personal maid as a tip for her to pass the message to me. Then I waved to her and walked outside until I walked out of Babington Manor. I always feel as if something has been forgotten by me.

I felt a little sorry for not being able to help Lady Alia.

The night wind was slightly cool, and my heart was filled with a faint feeling...

The next day was Sunday, and I made an appointment with Qige to improve the exhaust fans at the Magic Research Institute.

For the first time, I looked at the mithril magic rune plates very carefully. They were about one foot by two feet square. The entire metal plate was not very thick. There should be a layer of fine iron steel plate inside, and a thin layer of magic mithril was plated on the outside. Then, a gem base was inlaid in the center of the entire magic rune plate.

It seemed that there were not many technical improvements compared to the magic copper rune metal plate.

The fifty mithril rune plates in Qige's laboratory, except for the seven that were discarded during debugging at the beginning and the five that were scrapped during engraving halfway, made a total of thirty-eight miniature tornado magic pattern arrays.

The carpenter shop of the Magic Research Institute sent over the rest of the wooden parts. They were all wooden blinds of the same size as the rune metal plate. Qi Ge looked at me curiously. I quickly nailed two blinds and two wooden boards of the same size into a blind box, and then inserted the magic rune board into the blind box along the slots. The two ends of the blind box were nailed shut with wooden boards. In this way, a simple exhaust fan was made.

When I reached into a hole in the wooden board and inlaid a magic crystal stone on the gem base, the exhaust fan was officially started. A magic vortex formed on the rune metal plate, sucking the wind from one side and blowing it out from the other side. The whole process was a miniature tornado rotating continuously, generating a weak suction force. Installing it on the top of the room will play the role of exhaust and ventilation.

Takama helped me install such a wooden box on the upper frame of a glass window in Qi Ge's laboratory, which seemed so inconspicuous.

In order to test the effectiveness of the exhaust fan, Qi Ge deliberately lit a pile of magic parchment in the room. Under the blue flame, a thick smoke rushed up, instantly filling the entire laboratory with thick smoke. After extinguishing the fire, the three of us quickly ran out of the door, closed the door of the laboratory, and then saw the exhaust fan on the glass window draw out a wisp of green smoke, rolling and floating towards the dome of the institute.

Qi Ge and I clapped our hands, and Qi Ge said with a smile: "It really worked!"

"Of course, what should we do next? How should we deal with so many semi-finished products?" I looked at the so many semi-finished exhaust fans piled on the floor of the laboratory and asked Qi Ge.

Qi Ge supported her chin with both hands, rested her elbows on the test bench, blinked her big watery eyes, and said to me with a smile: "Of course we have to sell it. Oh, let me do the math. There are a total of 18 magic pharmacy laboratories at the Magic Research Institute. At least one machine should be installed in each laboratory. There are also more than a dozen magic pharmacy laboratories at the Royal Magic Academy. All of these laboratories need to be installed with this thing. Well, I'll go ask the Alchemy Department if they want this thing later!"
