My Magic Age

While it was still snowing all over the northern border, the imperial capital already had the atmosphere of early spring.

The night breeze is still slightly cool, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and earth.

Several heavy snowfalls in the winter in the Imperial Capital made the residents of the Imperial Capital experience an unprecedented harsh winter, but the southeast trade wind from the Endless Sea has already reached Mazaro Mountain.

In almost half a month, the ice and snow all over the city melted, and the earth was reviving with vitality.

Alia and I took the magic caravan to the Rune Board Workshop in the seventh neighborhood.

I thought it was so late and there would be no one else in the workshop except the night watchman, but when the magic caravan drove into the street outside the workshop gate, the rune board worker could be seen in the distance. The square is brightly lit.

Several large magic caravans were lined up at the entrance of the workshop. The coachmen gathered under the street lights at the entrance of the workshop, wearing large fur sheepskin coats, holding pipes and chatting together.

Murray stood at the door of the workshop, directing the workers to move the copper plates into the workshop one by one. The emblem of Duisburg Nord was printed on the bodies of these large magic caravans.

Betty pushed open the glass window of the carriage and looked outside. Then she turned to Aaliya and me and said, "It's the carriage transporting thin copper plates from Duisburg North."

Mrs. Alia sat next to me and said to me: "This guy Murray paid almost all the income from the copper hot pot to Duisburg Nord as purchase money. The copper plates he purchased were almost full of work. In all the workshops, if you don’t come back, this guy probably won’t even be able to pay the workers this month.”

I didn't expect Murray to carry out my arrangements before leaving so thoroughly. I smiled and said, "Murray is really brave. So this winter, the copper hotpot's profits are pretty good?"

Aaliya's eyes fell on Murray who was directing the workers to unload thin copper plates outside the window, and said to me: "It's more than good. If it weren't for limited marketing, it is estimated that the copper hot pots stocked here in the Rune Plate Workshop will be sold out after you leave. All will be sold out within half a month, and every day there are shopkeepers from the magic shop blocking Murray in the workshop, asking him to make another batch of copper hot pots. "

Even though I had known that the market here in the Imperial Capital could completely eat up the copper hotpot I left in the Imperial Capital before returning to the North, I still waved my fist happily when I heard Aaliya confirm this in person.

I smiled excitedly and said: "It seems that the copper hot pot we produce has a huge market advantage!"

The magic caravan stopped at the door of the rune board workshop. Murray, who was standing at the door of the workshop, saw Aaliya and I getting out of the carriage and immediately ran in front of us. Murray said to me with bright eyes: " Boss, you are finally back."

Murray handed over the matters at hand to the little boss in the workshop and invited Aaliyah, Katarina, and Betty into the rune board workshop.

Only then did I see how many thin copper plates Murray had bought recently. There were piles of thin copper plates in the yard of the Rune Plate Workshop, probably because he was worried about the copper plates rusting. These thin copper plates were covered with canvas and took up almost half of the area. Filling all the space in the yard.

Murray kept rubbing his hands and said to me: "What are stored in the workshop are giant crossbow arrows forged in North Duisburg. Now that the plane war is in full swing, these giant crossbow arrows are in hot demand no matter where they are. I I also grabbed the quota from the manager of Nord Duisburg, but I didn’t expect their production capacity to be so large. Boss, if you don’t come back, I will really be unable to bear it.”

Murray took us into the workshop. The workshop was filled with large wooden boxes one meter square. Almost every wooden box was neatly arranged with exquisite giant crossbow arrows. I knew that such a wooden box could probably hold a One hundred giant crossbow arrows. Count Donald's order for one thousand giant crossbow arrows is only ten boxes at most.

Now in the huge rune workshop, these wooden boxes are stacked together, and the initial estimate is that there are at least several hundred boxes.

It seems that Alia doesn't come to the rune board workshop often, and she was shocked when she saw the huge inventory here.

She asked Murray: "How come there are so many crossbow arrows? Where did you get the funds?"

Murray looked very afraid of Aaliya, and he was very careful in every word he said: "I bought these giant crossbow arrows with the money I got from selling the copper hot pot. I just used the thin copper plates outside to go north to Duis." Fort paid some deposit in advance.”

Aaliya pinched her waist with one hand and asked Murray curiously: "Earl Robert is brave enough to dare to give you so many thin copper plates on credit. Tell me, how did you convince the manager Goss?"

Murray took us up to the passage on the second floor of the workshop. From here, we looked down at the workshop. Everything in the workshop was in full view. It seemed that I had estimated that there were only a few hundred wooden boxes, but I was too conservative.

From here, it can be seen that there are at least thousands of large wooden boxes containing giant crossbow arrows.

Murray held his hand on the railing, looked at the large wooden box in the workshop, and said with a satisfied face: "In the winter in North Duisburg, only the forging area that manufactures giant crossbow arrowheads is very busy, and the production tasks in other sections are not too full. I found that even if their furnace is not smelting molten copper, the furnace still cannot stop running. Once the fire stops and the remaining copper liquid in the furnace solidifies, the furnace is considered useless. "

"So I found Mr. Goss and ordered 8,000 thin copper plates from him. I told him that I could only pay a small deposit for these 8,000 thin copper plates, and asked them to give it to us in their spare time while completing other orders. Producing these thin copper sheets allows Duisburg Nord to share some production costs and avoid excessive waste of coke and cosolvent due to empty furnaces. Mr. Goss agreed to let me meet Count Robert, the boss of Duisburg Nord. "

Arya said to him: "This is how you persuade Earl Robert?"

Murray shook his head and said: "He was still a little hesitant at the beginning, but I told him that my boss was the magician Jijia, and Earl Robert had no doubts anymore and signed eight thousand thin copper plates. Order, I grabbed more quotas for giant crossbow arrows from Duisburg North."

"..."

What else can I say?

In fact, the Demon Seal Workshop in Xinliu Valley is in urgent need of these thin copper plates and giant crossbow arrowheads to resume production. I just didn't expect Murray to be so decisive. Not only did he spend all the money for the copper hot pot to buy giant crossbow arrowheads, but he also used limited supplies to The funds were used to order thin copper plates worth nearly a thousand magic crystals.

Murray reported to me: "Boss, there are a total of 1,031 boxes of giant crossbow arrows stored in this factory, which cost a total of more than 4,000 gold coins. There are also 3,000 thin copper plates in the yard outside, which cost about So many gold coins dropped.”

I thought that when I returned to the Imperial Capital from Tanton City, the female dwarf craftsman at the Magic Seal Workshop was still urging me to solve the problem of sheets as soon as possible. I didn't expect that Murray had so many in stock.

So I said to Murray: "You did a good job. I will ask Catalina to bring you the gold coins later. I will transport some of these thin copper plates and giant crossbow arrowheads tonight. I will arrange for manpower to load the goods here. You should go early." Go back and rest, don’t worry about this.”

Murray agreed happily and wisely: "Okay, now I can finally sleep peacefully. With so many copper plates and giant crossbow arrows stored in the workshop, I can't sleep soundly one night."

But then he said to me hesitantly: "That... boss!"

I turned to him and asked, "Well. What else is there?"

Murray said to me: "Can you take out some 'Fire Gathering' rune boards? In the past two weeks, our door has been knocked down by those magic merchants."

I stared into his eyes and asked him: "Winter is about to pass. How much market do you think there is for copper hot pot?"

Murray seemed to be prepared. He just paused for a moment, organized his words and then said to me: "I think this part of the market still has great potential. In the past month or so, the magic shops in the Imperial Capital have always been Out of stock, every time a copper hot pot made of magic pattern 'Fire Gathering' rune plates appears in the magic shop, it is sold out almost instantly. The people in the imperial capital always want to buy it the more they can't buy it, and This disease is still contagious.”

Finally, Murray said: "I believe that even if winter is about to pass, there will still be many people willing to buy it."

"How come our copper hot pot is so popular?" Aaliya glanced at Murray and asked him in surprise.

"I have roughly summarized some of the reasons. There may be something wrong. Please help me correct it with your boss." Murray chuckled.

Then he opened the parchment he carried with him and said to Aaliya and I: "Compared with those fire-gathering rune boards handmade by inscription masters, the flame core of the magic rune board is more stable and safer. The durability is no worse than handmade products. The most important thing is energy saving. For the same size of magic crystal fragments, the magic pattern 'Fire Gathering' rune board can burn for about five days longer than the handmade 'Fire Gathering' rune board. ”

"Although the quality of some handmade 'Fire Gathering' rune boards is better than the magic pattern 'Fire Gathering' rune boards, the biggest flaw of handmade 'Fire Gathering' rune boards is that the quality is uneven. Those buyers People are always worried about buying inferior products, so they simply give priority to the cheaper, energy-saving and stable magic pattern 'Fire Gathering' rune board."

I didn't expect that Murray would analyze the market of Fire Gathering Rune Boards so thoroughly.

"Boss, I dare to say a few more words." Murray said to me.

Seeing Aaliyah and I staring at him, a layer of sweat broke out on Murray's forehead. He didn't bother to wipe it off, and said straight to the point: "I think if conditions permit, I want to gradually liberalize sales." The use of magic rune boards is not limited to the copper hot pots produced by ourselves. In this way, the market can be opened at once..."

Although Murray is right, in this month, the number of magic rune boards printed by the Xinliu Valley Magic Seal Workshop is also very limited, which can barely meet the production needs of the clan's copper hot pot, but if you think about it again, If you take out more, you must add a magic engraving machine.

I shook my head and said to Murray: "The magic pattern 'Fire Gathering Technique' rune boards are temporarily only provided for use with copper hot pots. In addition, I also have a batch of 'Miniature Tornado' rune boards in my hand. These will also be handed over for the time being." I’ll leave it to you. If you do well, I’m considering selling the magic pattern ‘Fire Gathering’ rune board separately.”

Murray's eyes lit up when he heard me say that there were other types of magic rune boards for him to sell.

Not long after, the large magic caravan in Duisburg North was unloaded.

Murray led the workers who were left to unload the goods and left the Rune Plate Workshop. I caught up with Murray at the door of the workshop and stuffed a handful of silver coins into him, asking him to find a better restaurant to treat everyone to a good meal. Murray smiled and put the silver coins in his arms, and walked away with the workers.

Wait until Katarina searched the workshop from beginning to end and confirmed that there was no one else in the workshop.

I then opened the portal to Xinliu Valley and asked Kalancuo to call a group of orc warriors to carry the thin copper plates and giant crossbow arrows into Xinliu Valley.

Because the space in the Xinliu Valley cave is limited, even if all the engraved magic rune plates are carried out, and the copper ingots made from piles of waste copper plates are also moved out, only a small part of the thin copper plates and giant crossbow arrows can be transported in.

After finishing all this, it was already very late. Alia still had to arrange the night watchman at the workshop and stayed in the workshop for a while.

I went directly back to my home in the third block.

…

As soon as the magic caravan arrived at the gate of the villa in the third block, the iron gate with black patterns slowly opened from the inside. The guard in light leather armor poked his head out from inside, and when he saw me getting out of the carriage, he hurried forward to salute.

The guards in the gatehouse were brought by Ying Li from Prince James's Palace. In addition to the guards, there were also the housekeeper and the cook in the courtyard. Although I bought this villa, I didn't take the time to take care of it carefully. I walked through the stone column archway.

With the dim light of the magic street lamp on the roadside, I saw that there was already a layer of light green marks on the lawn in the yard, but I couldn't see anything when I walked in. The tender sprouts of the alfalfa were hidden under the dead grass, and only a hint of new green could be seen from a distance.

I didn't expect that at this time, Ying Li's magic caravan was still parked in the yard, and it was still here so late.

When I walked to the front of the villa, Yingli, Helena and Becky just came out of the house. When they saw me walking up the steps, Yingli said to me, "Why are you back at this time?"

I said to Yingli, "There are many things waiting for me to deal with at the Rune Plate Workshop, so I came back a little later."

Yingli, wearing a pure white knowledge magic robe, walked down the steps, stood in front of me and said to me, "I just wanted to go to the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute to find you."

I hurriedly asked Yingli, "What happened?"

She was still waiting for me here at this time, it seems that something must have happened.

Yingli blushed slightly and whispered to me, "Nothing, there is a letter from you in El City!"

I didn't expect that I had just arrived in the Imperial Capital, and the letter from El City arrived soon after. It seems that when Ryant and Fanny wrote this letter, it should have been not long after I left El City.

I hurriedly took the letter, and at this time Yingli also stood beside me, glancing at me.

It was then that I realized that Ying Li insisted on waiting for me to come back so late, and personally handed the letter to me just to take a look at the contents. To her, perhaps this letter contained Ryan and Fanny's impression of her.
