My Magic Age

Chapter 1124 227. Nick's betrayal

For the people in the Imperial Capital, this winter is extremely cold. Two consecutive snowfalls have given the Imperial Capital a white tone in winter.

All the inconveniences caused by these two snows have turned into economic burdens and been imposed on the people of the imperial capital. The soaring prices of various commodities have left the people with no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery that these two heavy snowfalls have brought to the imperial capital.

Those poor people who are on the subsistence line have no money to buy firewood or briquettes to withstand the severe winter cold. Moreover, this year’s briquettes and firewood in the imperial capital are nearly twice as expensive as in previous years. This is because of the intervention of the councilors in the city hall. Depressing prices in the fuel market. There are still many small nobles in the imperial capital who are holding gold coins and cannot buy briquettes. In short, the deepest impression on the people of the imperial capital this winter is the cold.

Therefore, a series of cold-proof items have appeared on the market.

It was also when I sold the third batch of copper hot pots to the grocery store that I learned from the owner of the magic grocery store some things that happened in the Imperial Capital this winter. It was actually not his fault that Noah used the hot pot as a hand warmer. The owner of the magical grocer accidentally caused this.

I moved the hot pots produced by the female dwarves in the Xinliu Valley blacksmith shop out of Xinliu Valley and sent them to the magic grocery store in the Tower of Pride in the Imperial Capital. At the beginning, I was actually introduced to the use of hot pot by the shop owner, but I didn’t expect that The shopkeeper never told his customers that this copper pot was used to cook meat. He just casually placed a magic crystal fragment on the red copper rune board, and then added a little water to the pot, saying that placing this thing in the house would quickly warm the entire room.

This can't be blamed on the grocery store owner who sells too casually. Mainly because there are many nobles who go to the grocery store every day to buy the 'Fire Gathering Technique' magic scroll. A palm-sized Fire Gathering Technique scroll can continue to burn for more than twenty hours. , if placed in the fireplace in the house, it can keep the house warm all day long. Although the price is a little expensive, it is affordable for the nobles.

Therefore, the fire-gathering scrolls in various magic grocery stores have become high-end heating items in this winter. With a demand-side market, the fire-gathering scrolls in the magic grocery stores have naturally become best-selling items. Just think about it in the magic grocery store When I purchased more fire-gathering scrolls, I brought fifty The copper hot pot ran to the magic grocery store and told the owner of the magic grocery store, Balabala. The grocery store owner only clearly remembered that there was a fire-gathering rune board at the bottom of the copper pot, and the price of the entire copper pot was only One-third of the price of the fire-gathering rune board on the magic market.

In this way, these magic hot pots have greater profit margins for grocery store owners. Although the magic red copper rune boards in the copper hot pots are a little different from other rune boards, the burning flames are not the same at all. Not inferior, the flames were cyan, which showed that the temperature released by the flames was very high, so he began to recommend these copper hot pots to the nobles who wanted to buy magic scrolls, and euphemistically called them: heating stoves.

Something that made me dumbfounded finally happened. Copper hotpots did not become popular in the imperial capital. Instead, the heaters quickly began to sell out due to word-of-mouth word-of-mouth among some small nobles. And what surprised the grocery store owner the most was these heaters. The reputation seems to be very good, but the owner of the magic grocery store has not yet realized that a new type of rune board that has broken the average price of rune boards for many years is slowly being born in his shop.

Through the glass window covered with ice flowers, looking at the magic caravan on the street in the distance filled with snow cleared from the street, Silver Moon heard the coachman raising his long whip and making a loud whistle in the air.

Open the window and let the cold eyes come into view. ├砩穩risk indica 谧谧综合 Advisory is PIΦ乩shoot Хㄅ癯 Dan龀sheath machine sodium correction 衩embedded pod诮child杴謫嫖value man's curtain�

The air was filled with strong ice elements. I stretched out a finger and casually recited a magic spell, and an ice crystal condensed on my fingertips.

If fighting in heavy rain is the home field of water magicians, then ice magicians especially like winter. In this kind of weather, ice magic condenses much faster than usual, and the magic perception is released. I can clearly feel it. When we arrived at the maids who were standing outside the door waiting for Aaliyah and I to get up, Betty sat aside, holding a parchment booklet in her hand. She was looking at the records in the booklet one by one with a pen, probably planning what to do. Plan Aaliya's day.

There was a sweet fragrance behind me, a warm body pressed against my back, a pair of gentle arms wrapped us tightly with a velvet blanket, Aaliyah rested her head on my shoulder and asked me charmingly He said: "Why did you get up so early? Are there any morning classes today?"

Feeling the softness of Aaliya's body, I dispersed the ice crystals on my fingertips. The ice crystals instantly turned into ice powder and dissipated in the air. Under the dazzling eyes, it was like a handful of silver powder sprinkled casually.

I turned back and buried my head under her fragrant and soft neck, took a deep breath, and said to Aaliya: "There has been nothing going on at the college recently. Many courses this semester have ended. Now is the last time for the magic students." When sprinting to practice magic level, the Royal Academy of Magic has some rigid standards, requiring magic students to reach at least level three by the end of the first semester. "

Alia squinted her eyes, chuckled, and then said: "You are now an eighth-level magician. So, it doesn't matter to you to sprint to improve your magic level?"

I turned my head and looked at the courtyard. After the heavy snow, the snow scene in the courtyard was still quite exquisite.

Perhaps because Alia and I have lived in the north since childhood, we have an indescribable feeling for snow. She didn't let the servants clean up the snow in the yard. I also think it's best. The grass is covered with a thick white blanket, which has a very simple and elegant beauty.

I said to Alia: "I think so! So I took this opportunity to take a two-week leave and go out."

Alia leaned over and asked me: "Where are you going?"

"Yero." I said.

Alia didn't know the second secret of the Hammer of Time and Space Breaker yet, so she didn't know how I could get to the Yello plane, so she asked me: "Ah, will you make it in time? Do you want to borrow the temporary teleportation array in the Duke of Samoyed's mansion?"

I said: "It should be in time. Two more giant spiders died in the silk reeling workshop in Xinliu Valley. If they keep dying like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to produce magic pattern spider silk ingots next month. I need to catch some new giant spiders."

When Alia heard me say this, she hugged me tightly from behind, and then said to me: "I heard that the situation in the Yello plane has become unstable. The Duke of Samoyed has lost three cities in a row. If you can't catch them, don't force yourself. It's winter now, and it doesn't matter if the textile workshop stops working for a while."

I don't avoid this fact. The city of Pereira is now in a mess, and you can imagine other cities in the Yello plane.

I said, "We'll know the details after we go over there. This time I'll take those barbarian slaves with me. They should be able to fight the spider warriors."

Seeing that I had made a decision, Alia just asked softly, "When are we leaving?"

I was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "We'll leave in a moment. Katarina will come and join me."

Perhaps because we were about to leave, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and she put her face against my back.

After a while, Alia calmed down and said to me, "By the way, Prince Wales and the Royal Construct Knights have decided on their next battle target. Do you know where it is?"

"Where?" I asked.

The Anqibould royal family had some internal strife a while ago. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Charles seemed to think that Prince Wales had made outstanding achievements recently and had led the Royal Knights to make merits everywhere on the plane. He finally felt a little restless in the palace, so he wanted to make some moves to see if there was any possibility of leading troops to the battle. However, this matter was still forcibly suppressed by His Majesty Charles.

Now, Prince Wells should be going out again.

"Angela Multi-plane of the Babington family in San Carlos Province." Alia said a name that I was not surprised by.

Because all the previous signs showed that the Green Empire urgently needed a large amount of mithril.

Alia said to me: "It is said that in order to solve the problem of mithril mine scarcity, the five major mithril mines in Angela Multi-plane will be the primary target of this expedition. The Green Empire needs a large amount of mithril to maintain magic equipment, including magic airships, magic caravans, magic cannons, bed crossbows, siege vehicles and other weapons. This time the crisis of the Babington family has been safely passed."

The biggest force in Angela Multi-plane is in the hands of the Babington family. Affected by the war in Angela Multi-plane, their factory in San Carlos City is in a semi-shutdown state. If this situation continues for a few more months, it may drag the Babington family down alive, but now it seems that after the royal family released this news, the Babington family is seeking survival from death.

"Wells agreed?" I asked Alia.

"Yeah." Alia said, "The letter of appointment was issued yesterday afternoon. The Mo family's eldest son also went on the expedition. It seems that this time they are determined to win. The commander of the Ex Corps in Qiyan City led the Construct Knights to the Angela multi-plane a month ago."

"... In that case, will the Rune Workshop in our imperial capital be affected?" I remembered that I also have a rune board workshop in the imperial capital, so I asked Alia.

Alia smiled bitterly and said to me, "It's not just as simple as being affected. Just such a confirmed appointment news made the Rune Workshop receive more than 20 cancellation applications yesterday afternoon."

"Why did someone cancel the order so quickly?" I asked a little surprised.

Originally, I thought that even if the Rune Workshop was affected, it would be at least a month later. I didn't expect it to be so serious.

Alia smiled and said to me, "Speaking of which, this reason should be attributed to you."

"Me? Why is it my reason?" Hearing Alia say this, I was even more confused.

Alia explained to me: "I heard that the Empire is going to invade the Angela multi-plane, and the five largest mithril mines there will soon resume normal operations. The small lords who originally had some mithril reserves want to sell their mithril before the mithril mines are recovered, while the price of mithril is still high, and take advantage of this last chance to make a fortune."

"What does this have to do with me?" I said with a wry smile.

"Of course this has nothing to do with you. The next thing has something to do with you. Suddenly, there is a lot of mithril in the magic market of the imperial capital. Some dead rune plate workshops in the imperial capital will be revived immediately." Alia whispered in my ear. "Don't forget who was the one who had a conflict with all the inscription masters in the imperial capital because of the life magic pattern on the fish skin hood, and completely offended those guys..."

"It's me!" I said frankly.

Alia said: "You are not naive enough to think that they don't know that the person standing behind Nick is you?"

"This is not difficult to investigate... So, those inscription masters are taking revenge on me?" I asked Alia.

Alia said: "They just temporarily refuse to accept the work of drawing magic arrays on the adamantine magic rune plate."

I asked her: "So now the rune plate workshop is in trouble?"

Alia said: "More than that, Nick and Brennan have begun to incite the craftsmen in those workshops to leave the workshop together. I will rush over to deal with this matter this morning."

I asked Alia: "Are they going to go to other workshops together?"

Alia said to me: "I will try my best to retain those craftsmen..."

It seems that this matter is not as simple as Alia said. The craftsmen in the workshop have worked under Nick for so long, and it is hard to say whether they will insist on staying in the rune plate workshop. So I said to Alia, "Don't force it. Their departure may not be a bad thing for the Rune Plate Workshop. We must let it go."

Alia said, "Ah! Aren't you going to run the Rune Plate Workshop?"

I took a deep breath and said to Alia, "Of course not. Not only will I not stop running it, I will also try my best to expand the Rune Plate Workshop. It's just that I won't need those technicians who make blank rune plates soon. If they want to leave, just let them go decisively."

Alia looked at me in surprise, and I continued to say to her, "Since those inscription masters have completely torn their faces with us, I have nothing to worry about. I said I would teach those arrogant guys a lesson."

I didn't expect those inscription masters to have such a great influence that they began to collectively boycott me.

I didn't expect that the honest Nick was finally persuaded by Brennan and chose to take the craftsmen in the workshop away.

But... even if Nick and the craftsmen leave, what can they do? Because there is a magic engraving machine in Xinliu Valley, from now on I no longer need those blank magic rune plates. Ordinary metal plates are enough. I also don’t need an inscriptionist to draw magic patterns on the blank rune plates. All I need is a place in the imperial capital to circulate magic rune plates.
