crush the rich

"Auction? What do you mean?" Another female guest didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.

"It is said that a group of people bid for one thing there, and the person who wants to buy bids, and the person with the highest bid can buy what he wants."

"Isn't this the one who pays the highest price? Isn't that the way you usually buy things?" The female customer didn't understand the difference between the two.

The female guest in the red dress said: "I heard it's a little different. I heard it's a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly. But have you seen the suit of Salmadi? My God, it's so It’s like a rainbow in the sky. When I saw it, I felt that things made by magic are not necessarily bad. Even if it’s a cursed dress, I’m willing to wear it.”

The female guest in a dark green dress said: "That dress really makes people unable to take their eyes off."

Na Qi had never seen that dress before, so she was very curious about it, but it was a pity that she was not as lucky as the commoners in the City of Sages.Anyone can watch "The Mage King" there, but that's not the case in Lake City.

I heard that Qingjin Huangdu has already started to invite the performance troupe from the City of Sages to perform, but Hucheng can't do this.The refusal of some nobles is one reason, but the more important reason is that there is no theater for performances in Lake City, so even if the nobles want to watch, they can only go to the city of sages through the teleportation array.

But not everyone is as unsuspecting of magicians as Akara, and it is enough to only care about eating, drinking and having fun.Most high-ranking nobles are still very wary of the Mage Association, and don't believe in the benefits they give for no reason.

In fact, the mages did have ulterior motives in doing this, but the intentions were too tortuous and complicated, and Yin Lian didn't think that these people could figure it out by simple guesswork.

And if you can't guess it, you can say it doesn't exist.

There were many new things in Matil this year. First of all, under the lure of the Magic Association, all countries began to grow some special food products.Not only that, the Master Association began to select and graft bread trees in various ways, and began to carry out unified and scientific and reasonable planting to make their taste better.

Yin Lian selected some people who are interested in cooking from the charity school of the Life Association, and specially established a cooking school, which is taught by chefs who are still only half-baked.This school has been warmly welcomed by the entire city of sages, and many people regard it as the greatest glory.

Mange, the great elemental mage, had a lot of opinions on this. He once said sourly at the meeting: "If you say you can't be a mage, you can become a chef... Tsk, can a chef be compared with a mage? I can kill a car with a single spell." How is the chef?"

"Then you continue to eat breadfruit?" Archmage Luca, who had been dealing with him not very well, sneered and asked mockingly.

Ji Liya said: "Your Excellency said that if it is not necessary, I hope that all mages will calm down and don't kill people casually. The population of the city of sages is too small, and many jobs cannot be expanded. She has a lot of delicious food now. Fun things that can’t be put into practice right now.”

Luca said: "Recently, the research on magic equipment has made some progress, which feels very interesting. But the manpower is indeed too small, and most of the time of mages is spent on searching, collecting and processing materials. This part is completely It can be done by the untalented... Population is indeed a big problem."

Oliver, the head of the Necromancer, said: "I noticed... I don't know when it started, you seem to have naturally regarded that little girl as the real 'Your Excellency'?"

Ji Liya paused and said: "I remember that she helped your Necromancer Association improve some very important magic circles and research methods not long ago."

Oliver hugged her chest, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said, "I don't deny this. Of course, I don't have any malice towards Your Excellency Lian, I'm just a little...surprised. Don't you think, from her appearance until now, she Everything you do is too... perfect to be real?"

Ji Liya said: "She has a dream in her heart... It's different from us. Don't think that beauty like that should not exist just because you are a mummy who needs to absorb sunlight and water from the soul of a young girl to work? "

Oliver said: "It's too much! You didn't treat me like this on the last date."

Ji Liya said: "I don't have that kind of need now. And men are everywhere, and you are nothing special, but there is only one, Your Excellency."

Oliver said, "Oh... woman."

Ji Liya said: "You can also find a man. Your students will be very happy."

Oliver choked.

Luca heard what they were saying, but he took the initiative to intervene to stop them, and said: "In addition to this, some of the planting aids that Your Excellency asked me to develop have also been developed. It is simply a fantastic idea. If it can be put into use If so, it can greatly save manpower. Your Excellency means that this kind of equipment can be priced as a set of one ton of high-purity magic crystals or one hundred magic apprentices with intermediate qualifications or above."

Ji Liya was very surprised: "Why? Didn't Your Excellency not want to exchange wheat seeds for apprentices before?"

Luka said: "About this... I don't really understand."

As a result, the black sage's voice suddenly sounded.

"Because she wants to sell the wheat seeds to more people as soon as possible, so the conditions must be set lower. But these planting equipment are used to reduce manpower consumption. Li'an does not want to reduce the manpower consumption of various countries at present, so the selling price It can be set higher."

Luca: "Why doesn't she want to reduce manpower consumption?"

The black sage said: "Because there are many things that people can do. Judging from the current strategies of various countries, they will try to expand the population only when manpower is useful. For us, population expansion has Apprentices with magical talents will also increase, and for Lian, having more people means that more things can be done, and more people can help complete her vision and make the continent a better place."

Oliver said: "Your Excellency, I'm really curious. Why do you do these things, Your Excellency? Does it mean anything to her to make the mainland better?"

The black sage hooked his lips and said, "When you travel thousands of miles to a place to find a newly born mage apprentice, have you ever thought about the meaning of this?"

Oliver froze for a moment.

After a long while, he said, "Mages are scarce and the situation is dangerous. If we can't unite, then the only thing waiting for us is death."

The black sage said: "Although I haven't asked her, she probably thinks so too."

Oliver didn't understand.

The black sage said: "To be alive, this is to pass on the fire. It is the same for mages, and it is also for human beings. In fact, she is not that pure and kind, and that child is sometimes very cruel. It's just that the level she focuses on is different from all others. People are different."

Oliver thought for a while before he understood the meaning of this sentence.

Oliver regards the group of mages as his companions, but Yin Lian regards humans as his compatriots.

In fact, the black sage still thinks highly of Yin Lian - she doesn't treat everyone equally.She does, however, have a minimum degree of humanitarianism towards all sentient beings.

In her world, this is not very kind, it is just the most basic moral view of a human being.

But the misunderstanding didn't do her any harm either.

For the auction of costumes, Yin Lian has been training some mages in auctioning recently.In addition, she is still collecting information on various local dyes and preparing to build textile factories and printing and dyeing factories.The first batch of cotton and hemp has been harvested, and wood mages have been dispatched to accelerate the ripening.The second batch of cotton and linen was going to be planted normally, and the mages were only allowed to raise the seedlings.

The mage's seedling cultivation is really powerful.Fast, accurate, and stable, unless it is a dead species, there is no worry about infertility.Even if it is really a dead seed, as long as there is still some activity in it, there is still a possibility that the magic can be reactivated.It's a pity that mages are mostly empirical when it comes to all kinds of magic. They are more inclined to study the operation techniques, and don't pay attention to the analysis and research of magic principles, so naturally they have never tried how to change, graft, and hybridize various plants. traits.

Yin Lian has been guiding them to do this recently, but there is no direct result yet.But even if they can only operate without thinking, the abilities displayed by this group of mages are already remarkable.And this is far from their limit, it's just a superficial attempt.

At least in Martil, magic power can definitely be regarded as the primary productive force.

If it wasn't for guarding against this group of mages, Yin Lian would really like to bring a few back to Earth, or simply let the two worlds cooperate.But she cannot put her relatives, friends and fellow citizens in danger.

The more you stay in this world, the more you will feel the danger of this world-this is an ideological difference.

On the most basic level...people in this world don't feel guilty about killing people.

This is not limited to mages, but ordinary people as well.Even the law does not expressly prohibit killing, and of course killing may be a crime—depending on the specific method.However, duels, manslaughter, or casualties caused by defensive counterattacks will not be interfered with.

This is true within the scope of the same class or the lower class.The nobles will naturally be different.

The mage's side is even more primitive, almost naked power supremacy.The black sage controls the entire city to run according to his wishes with his personal power. Unless the civilians voluntarily follow a certain mage, they all belong to his property, so other people will not act rashly.

Most of the recent refugees have thrown themselves under the protection of the Church of Life, and the mages generally do not trouble these believers because they have benefited from Yin Lian.As long as believers don't take the initiative to offend the mage, there is no danger to their lives.

But this is only the consensus of the two parties, not the law.

In this case, if Yin Lian could, she would definitely not want the two worlds to intersect.She will definitely guard this passage tightly to avoid any unpleasant things happening to her.

That night, the black sage came to her suddenly and asked, "Your hometown...will the sky you see be different?"
