My Magic Age

Louis said excitedly: "Yes, I want all these herbs. As for the price, just follow the current market price. Jijia, you have helped me a lot. I really don't know how to thank you!"

I smiled modestly and said: "It's nothing. Noah and I are good friends. It's only right to help each other. But the price is a bit high now. It's more reasonable to calculate it at twice the average price of these primary magic herbs purchased by the business in various places. Even so, I have made a lot of money!"

Louis shook his head and said: "How can that be , Jijia, do you know how much money you will lose? In just a few days in the imperial capital, the price of primary magic herbs has tripled. Moreover, now in the imperial capital, it is difficult to buy magic herbs such as hemostatic grass even if you have money. Not to mention that you have helped me so much, even if you go at normal prices, there is no reason for you to suffer a loss. "

Noah and Bud on the side looked at me and Louis in a daze. Others bargained to make more money, but Louis and I pushed the gold coins we got out and gave way to each other, as if these gold coins were hot.

Louis and I argued with each other and blushed. As a noble knight, Louis has a gentleman's demeanor in his bones. He was influenced by aristocratic etiquette since he was a child, so he would never take advantage of this. If he took advantage of this, it would be like an insult to his personality. What's more, the Mensa family has ruled the Palestina Province for hundreds of years, and has never lacked gold coins. In the private plane of the Mensa family, there are two gold mines alone.

Louis and I were unwilling to give in, so we had to find a compromise. I asked Louis, "Louis, does Emerald Bay Trading Company have its own blacksmith shop?"

Before dinner, Louis had already changed out of his silver scale armor and foot armor, and wore a close-fitting silk trousers and shirt. He was strong and sturdy, and had the unique charm of a mature man. He sat casually on the bench at the door of the trading company, attracting some passing girls on the street to cast hot eyes. The women in the imperial capital seemed to be more bold and unrestrained than those in El City.

For the family business, Louis said proudly, "Of course! Emerald Bay Trading Company is actually an agent in the imperial capital to sell the goods of the entire Palestina Province."

What Louis said was not an exaggeration at all. The status of the Mensa family in Palestina Province is equivalent to that of the Elly family in Schroit Province, and they have absolute say in the province. The Emerald Harbor Trading Company is actually acting as an agent for the entire Palestina Province's commercial trade. The Mensa family not only has its own blacksmith shop, but also has the right to call any blacksmith shop in the province. This is the supreme right of the Grand Duke of Mensa.

"Then can I customize some special equipment and tools?" I was secretly delighted and gestured to Louis with the approximate size.

In El City, those small blacksmith shops and workshops cannot process the tools I designed, mainly because these small blacksmith shops do not have advanced metallurgical furnaces, and the crucibles cannot smelt enough molten iron to cast those large parts, so those equipment and tools have been shelved until now, and I can only buy the most basic tools in El City. Originally, I wanted to find a large blacksmith shop in the imperial capital, and then make those parts in batches.

Now with Louis's relationship, things have become much simpler.

Louis's collar is slightly open, and there is a layer of fine golden chest hair on his broad chest. He said confidently: "As long as you are willing to sell those herbs to me, even if you ask me to help you ride a few siege artillery carts, there will be no problem."

The siege artillery cart is a large siege equipment, and it is a magical tool like the magic caravan. To manufacture such a large siege weapon, you need the permission of the imperial military, and this thing is strictly controlled by the empire. It is said that the entire body of the siege artillery cart is engraved with wind and earth magic patterns. The siege artillery cart itself has great power and can project several tons of large stones several kilometers away from the city. It is a siege weapon.

The equipment I want to make is of course not a siege artillery cart, but an auxiliary support and large hoisting equipment for building a city. I need to make some giant pickaxes for excavating rocks and some large scaffolding. I have prepared these drawings a long time ago, but I have not found a blacksmith shop with the ability to process large parts.

I said to Louis: "As for the drawings, I will give them to you tomorrow. As for the cost, just convert it according to these herbs!"

In this way, I reluctantly reached a preliminary agreement with Louis. Afterwards, Noah and I took the magic caravan and left Emerald Bay Trading Company.

I have to prepare the primary magic herbs that can make 3,000 small doses of healing potions before sunrise tomorrow morning.

It seems that tonight, I will ask the orcs in the underground cave to move the hemostatic herbs out overnight.

The red maple trees on both sides of the street flashed back from the window one by one. A cool evening breeze blew in from the car window. I was thinking about the work tonight in my heart.

…

The magic caravan passed through the wide streets of the third district and merged into the traffic. With the setting sun, the sky was full of red clouds, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be burning.

"Oh, it's Huo Shaoyun!" I looked out the window and blurted out loudly, which caused the pedestrians on the roadside to turn their heads and look over. It was just that the magic caravan carrying the horse was running wildly on the long street, and they could only You can see blurry figures in the carriage.

When I thought that the mountain city in Xinliu Valley, which was on the verge of being shut down, could continue to be built, I suddenly felt very good.

Noah, who was sitting opposite me, put on a very serious look and said to me: "Jijia, you are really stubborn. How could I have made a friend like you? Everyone else is eager to get more of Louis." You are the only one who is constantly trying to find some balance and is not willing to take advantage of me at all. Are all the people in the North as generous and honest as you? I like to deal with people in the North. "

I said to him: "If I have a chance in the future, I will introduce you to my friends in El City!"

"Okay!" Noah agreed readily and asked me curiously: "What kind of tools do you want Louis to make for you? Why don't you buy them directly from the store?"

I don’t know how to explain it: these tools used by barbarians are simply not available on the market. He just said: "Of course they are some things that are not available on the market, such as larger chisels, hammers, crowbars, axes, and some large mechanical parts, that's about it!"

"Jijia, what do you want to do?" He didn't understand what I was thinking.

"Build yourself a manor or castle, if you have the chance!" I answered truthfully.

Now Noah is even more confused. He doesn't understand what use I need these tools for. In his opinion, I should focus on my studies at the Magic Academy now. Rather than the barren land owned by the third-class baron. So he said to me: "Are you preparing a little too early? You don't want to build a manor on that piece of barren land that was given to you when you were conferred the title of baronet, do you?"

"What's wrong with that?" I asked Noah with a smile.

I really have this idea, but it will have to be at least a few years later. I own a stone mine and a lake on a barren land in the Grand Duke's Palace of Sloit City. I want to build a small estate there, at least I want the people within my territory to live a prosperous life.

"It's such a remote place, what's there to do?" Noah said with a 'hum', looking very bored.

Every magic apprentice who awakens the magic pool will be canonized as a third-class baron by the Emperor Charles the Great of the Green Empire, and will be rewarded with a barren territory.

Few magicians can value that territory. They pay more attention to the learning of magic. The territory with almost no actual income is just a symbol. Most magicians will allow the residents of those territories to develop freely. , and even some magicians have never even taken a look at his territory in their entire lives.

Noah also viewed those barren territories in the same way. Sitting on the magic caravan, he even started to encourage me: "Jijia, after we graduate, let's form a mercenary group together, and then go to the new resource-rich dimension to open up territory. , we can borrow some knights from Louis, and he has several knights who are very good at fighting. In that way, we will soon establish a territory of our own on a resource-rich plane, and then we can be neighbors!"

Many resource-rich planes are controlled by wealthy nobles. Countless knights, mercenary groups or small noble forces are attached to these wealthy nobles. In fact, the purpose is to be able to pick one among the plane resources of these wealthy nobles. A fertile land, and then organize an army or a mercenary group yourself, teleport to this plane, and open up new territories for the empire.

According to the decree of the empire: after a knighthood or a mercenary group opens up a new territory, 30% of the territory belongs to Emperor Charles the Great of the Green Empire, and the other 30% of the territory belongs to the owner of this plane, a so-called wealthy family. , the last remaining 40% of the territory is considered the territory developed by oneself.

The titles of the nobles of the Green Empire are directly related to the territory they own. The higher the title, the wider the territory owned by the noble.

Obviously, Noah's idea of ​​graduation is very good. Many young and promising aristocratic sons from aristocratic and wealthy families will, after graduation, take the power of the knights in the family to enter the realm run by their family and carve out a land of their own. territory in order to promote his title.

Being able to ride along with Noah and establish his own power should be a very fulfilling thing.

I readily agreed to him: "Okay!"

…

He broke up with Noah at the entrance of the Royal Academy of Magic and returned to the dormitory alone.

I rushed directly to the rented house. This house was not far from the Royal Academy of Magic. It was only across the street from the restaurant and food street next to the Academy of Magic. It was a two-story small building facing the street. There is an open courtyard in front of , the courtyard is paved with a large lawn, and this house also has a relatively secluded backyard with some fruit trees planted, including crab apples, autumn pears and hawthorns. I secretly complained in my heart: The fruits that the owner of this house likes are really Unique enough.

Open the door and enter the house. You can see that the first floor is a living room and a guest room. Behind the living room is a kitchen with a dining room. There is a staircase between the kitchen and the living room, and you can go directly to the second floor. , there are only two bedrooms on the second floor, one in the south and one in the north. The south-facing bedroom has a loft. The entire house is paved with mahogany floors, and there is a thick blanket on the floor in the living room.

This house was so comfortably decorated that I never had the heart to use it as a warehouse. So when I came here for the second time, I discovered that there was a small basement in the house specifically for storage.

I didn't even stop in the living room. I touched the key chain hanging behind the door directly, walked straight into the basement, and then locked the basement door.

I don't want someone to unexpectedly break in after I open the portal.

I need to prepare three thousand magical herbs for healing potions overnight and hand them over to Bard who will come to deliver them tomorrow morning.

Time waits for no one, I must enter the underground cave as soon as possible, and then let the orcs move the herbs to the storage room in the basement.

…

Speaking of which, I haven't entered an underground cave for a long time. The last time I came, I also received a message from the beast warrior Kalantso. In addition to asking me to prepare food, cloth and other materials, Besides, there are some other things you want to discuss with me:

The first thing is: the attitude of the orcs towards the goblins in the underground world has undergone some changes. On the way to the underground cave warehouse, the orcs and the goblins have had several conflicts. The orcs originally looked down on those orders. People feel disgusted with the goblins, and now the conflict is getting more and more intensified, and it has reached a very serious point.

After living a comfortable life for three years, the goblins in the underground caves have recently begun to stir up troubles. These despicable low-level creatures are only dominated by their own instinctive desires. They will seek food to survive due to their instincts, and they will also survive due to their instincts. In order to reproduce, and the reproduction ability of these guys is extremely strong, in just three years, the total population of goblins in the underground world of Xinliu Valley has increased five times, and the hearts of the numerous goblins have gradually become swollen.

Because the goblin population is growing too fast, the goblins are facing a food crisis all day long. Some of the stronger goblins with more developed brains began to have ideas of their own. They were originally high-level creatures carrying the curse of divine punishment, but now they have fallen to the level of low-level creatures, but there are also some mutants among them.

These powerful goblin warriors began to form their own forces, and then annexed other goblin tribes. These goblins became bandits. Gradually, they were no longer satisfied with looting goblin villages. The goblins had begun to set their sights on the wine cellars in the underground world. , here not only stores a large amount of fine wine, but also food, magic herbs, precious wood, magic copper mines, cotton cloth and other living supplies. The goblins have already coveted these supplies.

I guess a battle with the goblins is inevitable after all.

The second thing is: the base of the entire mountain city was completed at the beginning of last year.

Nowadays, the construction of mountain cities has entered a bottleneck period, because building a city on a cliff requires a large number of tools, and these tools are not ready yet.

In addition, although I have completed the foundation outline of the mountain city and drawn several rough outlines of the castle, among the orcs, even the old orc Zewang has no experience in building castles, so I need someone who can The master builder came here to instruct these orcs on how to build a majestic mountain city.

Three years ago, I had some preliminary ideas and wanted to build a castle at the pass between the two dangerous peaks of the circular valley of Xinliu Valley. After three years of preparation, the barbarians I captured were in At the foot of the circular valley, rocks were carved out, and then Later, these huge stones were polished with chisels into huge square stone foundations, and the barbarian slaves were allowed to use these stones to carry oars. 诖ΓAnxious feeling, 迒迒蛔HI Pujianjiao, posthumous posthumous title, Department of Najiang lead, 锟锟斤拷 far-off 嫫刈⊥ㄍ residual turmoil, anxious magpie Nai ㄒ ashfeedback.

Today, more than 600 barbarian slaves can only quarry stones in Xinliu Valley day and night to consume their strong physical strength.

These stones were polished into huge granite bricks of exactly the same size that can snap together. They will be used as wall tiles for the mountain city walls in the future. The news brought to me by Kalantso said: Those huge bricks hewn from granite The rocks have been piled up into a pyramid-like hill.

The granite rock mountain was almost hollowed out by the hundreds of barbarian slaves.
