My Magic Age

This summer, Qi Ge and I acquired Nick's rune board workshop, which has been processing rune boards with fine gold patterns and copper.

I am the only one in the imperial capital that produces this kind of rune board. Because of Qi Ge's relationship with scholar Francis, I am the only one who has this special fine gold solution.

Francis, a famous alchemist at the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, invented the fine gold solution. According to the agreement with Qi Ge, he provides Qi Ge with a certain amount of fine gold solution every month, but he has a quirky personality and does not sell the fine gold solution to others. Therefore, only my rune board workshop has the ability to produce fine gold rune boards with fine gold patterns.

This rune board is very different from other blank rune boards. Due to the limitation of the singleness of the mold, only the same kind of magic rune board can be produced.

At the beginning, it was because we could not order the metal rune board for the exhaust fan in the imperial capital that we acquired the rune board workshop run by Nick, which was facing bankruptcy.

We rely on the new technology of fine gold patterns to produce a large number of substrates for the "miniature tornado" metal rune boards. However, this kind of base plate still needs the inscriptionists to draw magic patterns on it before it can have a magical effect. As the exhaust fan gradually became popular in the imperial capital, Nick's rune plate workshop received a large number of orders.

The fine gold magic pattern copper rune plate will be sold to the inscriptionists in the imperial capital. The inscriptionists will make the "miniature tornado" magic pattern array according to the fine gold magic pattern pattern on it, and then the rune plate workshop will recycle it according to the agreed price. For the waste rune plates produced in the process of drawing magic patterns, those inscriptionists need to be responsible for their own profits and losses.

Because the exhaust fan is very popular in the imperial capital, this kind of fine gold magic pattern copper rune plate has gradually become popular, so many parties want to buy this kind of fine gold magic pattern rune plate, so these rune plates inexplicably disappeared in the hands of many inscriptionists. They sent servants to buy the base plate of the fine gold magic pattern rune plate, but never took back the successfully drawn rune plate.

However, Nick, the manager of the Rune Plate Workshop, doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. It is enough for this Rune Plate Workshop to sell those fine gold magic rune plates.

The exhaust fan business that Alia is in charge of is also affected by many other types of exhaust fans. From the beginning, it occupied the entire sales share of the imperial capital magic market, and then slowly shrank to occupy half of the market share, and finally even occupied less than one-tenth of the market share. In fact, Alia also wanted to change this situation, but because the textile workshop has always involved Alia's time and energy, the production of the exhaust fan was delayed.

The reason why this fine gold magic rune rune plate was invented was to replace the mithril rune plate. In fact, the cost of the fine gold magic rune rune plate is higher than that of the mithril rune plate before the price increase, and the structure of the rune plate is also very simple, and it can only draw the "miniature tornado" magic rune array, so the market competitiveness is not as good as the mithril rune plate.

There were frequent reports of victory in the plane wars, and there was news that the Empire's Construct Knights were preparing to go on an expedition to the Angela plane, with the main purpose of recovering the large mithril mines there. Therefore, some small lords who had hoarded mithril immediately sold their mithril after hearing the news. When the mithril rune plates on the magic market were no longer so difficult to buy, those inscriptionists began to collectively boycott the adamantium magic rune plates because they knew that I was the boss behind this adamantium magic rune plate workshop.

So Nick's rune plate workshop once again faced the embarrassing situation of not receiving orders. It was also at this time that Nick persuaded the craftsmen in the workshop to leave together. Nick's move left me speechless. After all, he had experienced that situation once before, so his choice became understandable.

According to Alia, it was his good friend Brennan who had been working with Nick. Originally, Brennan wanted to use Nick's relationship to increase the production scale of the Rune Workshop, but Alia rejected it outright. This proposal did not even reach Qige's ears. At that time, Alia also considered that once the Mithril Mine resumed production, the magic market in the imperial capital would no longer be a demand-side market, and the Mithril Rune Plate would become uncompetitive.

In fact, the changes in the magic market have verified how sharp Alia's business sense is. The Mithril Rune Plate has entered the Imperial Capital Magic Market, and the Mithril Rune Plate was instantly kicked out.

I told Alia to put down the Rune Plate Workshop here first, and everything will be discussed after I come back from the Yello plane.

…

Open the portal on the teleportation altar in Xinliu Valley, and bring Kalancuo and Katarina to the small hotel in Tanton City on the Yello plane.

Justus, the descendant of the siren, and the minotaur Luka were already waiting in the hotel room. When they saw us coming out of the portal, the minotaur Luka gave me a warm hug and said to me in a silly way, "Hey, Jijia, you are finally here."

I patted the minotaur Luka's shoulder. He was sitting on the floor of the room. The room seemed a little narrow and he looked very uncomfortable.

"How is the situation here?" I turned to Justus who was sitting on the chair and asked.

At this time, he was wiping a shiny silver knife with a clean piece of silk. He didn't have this thing before. It looked like his trophy. The silver knife was very delicate, and the handle was inlaid with various gorgeous gems. This should be something used by a lady.

Justus said to me seriously: "After so many days of calm, it is estimated that the spider warriors should start preparing for a new round of hunting. Some adventure groups have already left Tanton City, and they will prepare ambush locations in advance. Then wait for those spider warriors."

I walked to the window and saw that it was actually raining outside. Countless raindrops fell from the gray clouds, and I couldn't see anything in the distance.

Tanton City is built on the mountain, and the terrain ranges from low to high. The inner city is considered to be the highest place. A large amount of rainwater flows into rivers on the stone streets. The underground ditches and ditches on the streets can no longer carry the huge amount of rainwater. Each The streets are like a running river.

As a water magician, I prefer rainy days like this, and I guess Justus feels the same way as me.

I asked Justus, "Has anything happened in town lately?"

The reason I asked Justus was because he occasionally went to the pub for a drink. No matter where he was, the pub was always the place where news was conveyed the fastest.

Justus put the silver knife into the scabbard on his waist, stood next to me and said, "It's quite peaceful in the city. The security in the city is also very good recently. Nothing major happened."

It seems that Knight Disraeli manages Tanton City very well. In this case, there is no need for me to meet him at this time.

I rubbed my hands, took out several black rainproof cloaks from my magic waist bag, and threw them to Kalantso, Katarina and Justus. Justus received the rainproof cloak I handed over and looked down. Look, he threw the cloak back with his backhand. He had a slender face and a calm expression. He wiped it on his right arm, and blue scales appeared vaguely under the skin. Then he said to me: "What do you think about a descendant of the Kraken?" , Do you need to wear a cloak in the rain?”

I spread my hands and asked him to do whatever he wanted.

There is no large cloak suitable for the tauren Luka, and as a tauren family that likes to be close to nature, walking in the rain is nothing to them.

Katarina and Kalantso covered their bodies in black cloaks, and their faces were covered by hoods on their heads.

Then I said to everyone, “Okay, let’s get out of town now!”

I also put on a black raincoat, followed Luka, and walked out of the hotel room. Justus locked the door.

When we walked to the front desk of the hotel, the hotel owner, Mr. Billy, looked at Justus in surprise and asked him: "Mr. Justus, it's raining so heavily and you and Luka are still going to do it in this kind of weather." Going out?"

He didn't look surprised because there were three more people in black cloaks behind Justus. Although I knew he must be very curious in his heart, people like him knew very well that 'curiosity killed the cat' As the famous saying goes, since we wear black cloaks that hide our identities, just turn a blind eye to us.

Justus took out a gold coin from the money bag at his waist, threw it to Mr. Billy, and then said to him: "I may have to go out for a while. I don't know how long exactly, but please leave our room." Leave it to me, oh, I’ll pay for the rest of this month’s room first.”

"I wish you all the best on your adventurous journey." Mr. Billy quickly caught the gold coins tossed in the air and said with a smile to Justus.

Pushing open the door of the hotel, the tauren Luca stepped onto the street where the rapids were surging. He stood firm as a rock in the rapid water. He turned around and lifted me up, letting me sit on his shoulders. Raindrops fell on me. The rainwater flowed down my cloak, making it cling tightly to my body, which seemed a little uncomfortable.

The rich breath of water element filled the air, as if every breath taken into the lungs was filled with water element.

Katarina and Kalantso stood in the rushing water on the street. After a while, they got used to it and then stood up straight.

Justus also looked relaxed and comfortable standing in the turbulence, and his movements were not hindered at all.

With such a heavy rain, the front city gate must have turned into a vast ocean. We did not choose to leave the city at the main gate, but walked along the long street to the side gate. The soldiers of the infantry regiment guarding the city were hiding in the door opening of the city gate. We took shelter from the rain and leaned our spears against the wall of the doorway. When we saw someone leaving the city in such heavy rain, we couldn't help but check our passes carefully.

Walking out of Tanton City, looking back at the entire mountain that stands like a sky pillar behind Tanton City, you can see countless rainwater gathering into rivers rushing down the mountain. When you get to Tanton City, those rivers separate to the left and right sides and rush down. , those temporary The rivers formed appear extremely turbid, containing not only a large amount of sediment, but also dead branches and leaves and some rocks. People have no doubt that once they are drawn into these rivers, they will be washed away by the mud and rocks in the rivers. Covered with bruises.

Fortunately, there is an open grassland dozens of miles wide in front of Tanton City, and the river flowing downstream can rush downstream without any obstacles.

Looking back, I saw a familiar figure on the city wall. It turned out to be Knight Disraeli. He didn't even wear a cloak in such a heavy rain. He was still wearing the standard armor of the infantry regiment. He was leading a group of people to check the sentry post on the top of the city. , obviously he didn’t notice me under the city, I couldn’t help but sit on the tauren’s shoulder and waved to him in the heavy rain.

Regardless of whether he saw it or not, Ruka strode towards the direction of Trum's stronghold.

In such heavy rain, the Nibru spider warriors and giant spiders will shrink in the caves of the spider camp. The spider warriors' book lungs are on both sides of their bodies. Running in the rain will make the spider warriors' lungs choke, which is their most vulnerable place, so we can travel without scruples in the rain.

Our destination is the spider camp drawn by Justus on the map of Tanton City. No matter how strong the barbarian warriors are, I decided to find a spider camp first.

Of course, we will not find a place with advantageous terrain to wait for the spider warriors like other adventure groups. Although the risk of hunting is much lower, whether we can wait for the spider warriors depends entirely on luck.

I just don't know if there is a spider commander in this camp. If there is such a big guy, it will be a bit troublesome.

...

The rain is just beginning to clear up.

The sky in the Hiero plane seems to be always gray. The Black Forest is very humid. The branches and leaves of the big trees are full of water. As long as you gently move the branches and leaves of the big trees, it will be like a light rain on your head.

The rotten leaves accumulated in the forest for years are soaked in rain water, like a sponge full of water. No matter who steps on it, the whole body below the knee will be contained in this fertile soil. On such a rainy day, walking becomes ten times more difficult than usual.

I never thought that the spider camp closest to Tanton City was built at the other end of the exit of the secret valley.

At the beginning, I and Knight Disraeli led the infantry regiment to hide in this valley from the pursuit of those spider warriors. We lived in this secret valley for a while. I didn’t expect that the giant spiders actually occupied the other side of the valley. But a few months ago, I was sure that there was no spider camp in this valley.

Our group hid on the mountain near the south side of the valley. From here, we can see the situation in the entire spider camp. If it is in this area at the entrance of the valley, all the trees have already died. Those trees are covered with a piece of white spider web, which looks like the snow in the imperial capital from a distance.

Pushing aside the wet leaves blocking my eyes, I leaned over a boulder and checked the situation in the valley. It seems that there is no spider commander in this spider camp. I turned my head and looked at Kalancuo beside me. She was also concentrating on this spider camp.

"How about I go inside to explore?" Catalina whispered on the side.

I shook my head and said in a low voice: "The spider camp is full of spider webs. Every crisscrossing silk thread is a giant spider's sentinel. No matter what, you can't avoid the spider webs they lay. Let's not alert the snakes for the time being. It's rare to come to the Yelo plane to hunt. At least we have to make enough money before doing those risky things."

As I spoke, I set my eyes on a giant spider huddled in the tree canopy not far away.

...If you observe carefully, you will find that there are giant spiders in the forest area around each spider camp.
