My Magic Age

"You want to buy sage? You've found the right place. Each of my sage has been carefully processed, and the magic in each herb is perfectly sealed inside the herb. A sage like this only costs sixty silver coins. If you are an expert who often buys magic herbs, you should know that my sage is a bargain price. As long as you can bring these sage to the imperial capital, this deal is basically a sure win." The herbalist spread a bundle of sage on the shelf on the counter and eagerly sold it to Qi Ge.

When the herbalist quoted this price, Qi Ge secretly winked at me.

She looked at the sage on the counter calmly.

"Do you only have sage here?" Qi Ge frowned and asked disapprovingly. Her hand brushed the leaves of the sage inadvertently, and she looked at the sage casually, with an expression that she could buy it or not.

At this time, the herbal medicine store owner probably didn't know that Qi Ge had already shown great interest in these sages, and thought that she didn't really want to buy them, so she turned her attention to other herbs. In fact, he was not familiar with Qi Ge. Our Miss Qi was good at calculations and was very familiar with the market price of magic herbs. This kind of sage, which was equivalent to the level of ice grass, could be sold for at least two gold coins per plant in the imperial capital. The price offered by the drugstore owner was sixty silver coins per plant, which was almost the bottom price.

"There are also some fine winter thorn grasses. They are precious and are usually stored in magic-sealing boxes. One winter thorn costs eight gold coins. Are you interested?" The herbal medicine store owner asked Qi Ge tentatively.

"Take them out and have a look!" Qi Ge said casually.

The drugstore owner took out three magic-sealing boxes from the boxes one after another, placed them on the counter, and carefully opened the lids of the magic-sealing boxes. When the lids were opened, a strong chill came out of the boxes, and the temperature in the magic herbal medicine store instantly dropped to freezing point.

Although Qige and I were prepared, the icy air in the box made us shiver at the same time.

The herbalist looked at Qige expectantly. Qige paused for a moment before looking up and asking the pharmacist, "Are there any others?"

"There are some winter thorns, but the quality is no different from these three." The herbalist hesitated for a moment and answered honestly.

I saw Qige waving to Takama behind him. Takama came up and handed a purse to Qige, and then retreated obediently. Qige untied the rope on the purse and poured all the gold coins in it onto the counter. At once, the yellow gold coins rushed out of the purse, more than a hundred of them.

Qige felt the chill emanating from the winter thorn grass. As a high-level magic herb, the winter thorn grass can completely replace the role of the ice grass. With so many winter thorn grasses, I can at least configure twenty bottles of snow ink, so that I can draw the magic scroll of "Frost Nova" to my heart's content. The value of the 'Frost Nova' scroll in battle is self-evident to us.

Qige said directly: "I want all the rat tails and winter thorns in your store. Help me calculate how much they cost?"

The owner of the magic herb shop didn't react for a while, and then realized that Qige seemed to be saying that she wanted to buy all the two types in the store. He said to Qige in a hurry: "There are a total of eight winter thorn grasses in the store, and there are four bundles of sage, each with ten plants, a total of eighty-eight gold coins. If you want all of them, it will be eighty-five gold coins."

Qig just glanced at Takama behind him. Takama understood and walked forward, stretched out his hand to count out eighty-five gold coins on the counter, and then put the remaining few dozen gold coins back into the purse, completing the transaction very quickly.

Afterwards, the herbalist hurriedly took out all the herbs in the store from the warehouse, opened them one by one, and then handed them to Qige. The transaction ended smoothly. Afterwards, Qige asked the herbalist about the specific locations of other magic herbalist shops in the inner city and the general market price of herbs.

The herbalist who successfully completed the transaction was in a good mood, and naturally answered all the questions. In a few words, he confessed all the details of other herbalist shops. Before leaving the pharmacy, Qige casually revealed that we would go to other magic herbalist shops to purchase a large amount of sage and winter thorn grass.

At this time, Catalina, who was standing behind him, suddenly walked to Qige and whispered to Qige.

Perhaps among this group of people, only I could see that Qige and Catalina were pretending to act in front of everyone. We didn't need to hear what Catalina said. Just from her charming expression, we could guess that Catalina seemed to say to Qige: There are not many gold coins left.

Qi Ge frowned after hearing what Catalina whispered.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a black magic crystal from his arms, turned around and asked the owner of the magic herb shop: "Can you trade with this black magic crystal?"

The owner of the magic herb shop saw Qi Ge holding a glittering black magic crystal in his snow-white palm, and finally couldn't help swallowing his saliva and nodded vigorously.

…

Qige and I visited four more herbal medicine stores one after another. Basically, the situation in each store was the same. The healing magic herbs in these herbal medicine stores had been sold out a month ago. This time the Nibru tribe The spider-man siege lasted for about twenty days, and the magic medicines currently in stock in the herbal medicine shop in Tanton City only include a few types of magic herbs that are unique to the Hierro plane: sage, winter thorn grass, and some other common magic herbs. .

Moreover, the owners of these magic herbal shops seem to be eager to sell the backlog of magic herbs in their hands. They are pessimistic about the future prospects of Tanton City. After the city is broken this time, Tanton City will only have a few years to survive. It will be difficult to The bustling scene of the past has been restored, so many shop owners want to get out in time, and this is the easiest time for herbal medicine shops to get out.

Because before the Spider-Man besieged the city, the military and some adventure groups had already looted all the healing magic herbs from all the herbal shops in the city.

The owners of the herbal medicine shop began to sell the small number of specialty magic herbs left in the shop. However, when this kind of war had just ended and the nobles in Tanton City were panicking, no one could ask Qi and me. With this style, you can browse the shops casually.

Qige happily spent a large amount of gold coins to buy all the sage and winter thorngrass in those herbal medicine stores, and then very cleverly played the same role with Catalina before leaving. At first, it was just me. I saw the clues, but then I visited some magic herbal shops like Electric Bill. When I was about to leave the herbal shop, Katarina and Qige had exactly the same scene. I finally understood that Qige was not moving towards those herbal traders. Showing the black magic crystal in his hand sensually.

She was telling these herbal medicine merchants: We have some black magic crystals that we are ready to sell.

…

The inner city of Tanton City reveals a very depressed atmosphere.

Qige and I were sitting in a restaurant. The lobby of the restaurant seemed deserted.

I ordered a fried steak. The ingredients were obviously the kind of frozen meat stored in the magic box, but the chef's skills were good. The steak tasted pretty good and the meat was very tender. Later, the waiter brought another piece of tea, and each biscuit was baked very delicately.

On such a quiet afternoon, although the sky was still covered with a layer of gray clouds, there was plenty of light.

There were no pedestrians on the street, and the whole street was very clean. There was no breeze. Sitting in the window seat of the restaurant, I didn't think about anything, just savoring this rare leisure time. Miss Qi sat opposite me, using a silver spoon to gently stir the juice in the glass cup. From time to time, the silver spoon touched the ice cubes in the cup, making a crisp sound.

Kalantso, Katerina and Takama were sitting at another table, and the atmosphere between them seemed a bit strange.

After a long silence, I finally couldn't help but break the silence between us and said to Qige: "When will we return to Pereira City? We have exceeded the date set by the college."

Qi Ge looked careless, glanced out the window, took a sip of sweet juice and said, "Waiting, at least we have to get our share."

I think she wants to continue to buy magic herbs from various stores in Tanton City. We bought out all four herbal stores in one morning.

I rolled my eyes, glanced at the wooden ceiling above my head, stared into her eyes and said, "Hey, you are a teacher in the college, so of course it doesn't matter, but what about my studies? I don't want to fail. Let's talk about this." The war has come to an end. As for the loot, haven’t we already got it?”

"Each piece of black magic crystal, in addition to its own value, can also be exchanged for additional rewards. It is said that those rewards were promised by Samoyed personally. Our black magic crystal can be exchanged for many things." Qige smiled and looked like Like a little fox, she licked her lips and said: "As for your studies, don't worry. What happened on the Hierro plane should have been reported to the academy long ago. The dean should be considerate of us. of."

We were silent again.

A carriage hurriedly passed by on the street. I put my chin on my hand, looked out the window and said to Qige: "You said, those nobles in the inner city huddle at home all day long. What are they worried about?"

Qige's big and smart eyes turned around and said, "I guess it's nothing more than: reward and punishment!"

I expressed my incomprehension and asked Qige: "Isn't this war a victory? Why is there still punishment?"

Qige gently bit her red lips and said: "Of course there will be punishment. Don't think that the war is won. The joy of victory can erase all mistakes. Those who deserve to be rewarded will naturally be rewarded, and those who deserve to be punished will also be punished." be punished. "

I don’t understand why Qige said that some nobles will be punished. Is it a crime to stay in Tanton City and not come out? If this is the case, the person who deserves to be punished the most should be the governor of Tanton City, Marquis Armand.

I'm thinking: Didn't the Duke of Samoyed make it clear when he entered the city yesterday that he didn't want to pursue this matter?

After all, he is the son of the Duke of Samoyed, so even if he does something wrong, he will be easily forgiven.

Qige stirred the ice cubes in the cup with a spoon and said: "I'm not talking about the people who guard Tanton City. They at least managed to defend Tanton City. Although the outer city has been completely occupied, Tanton City His roots are all in the inner city. As long as he can protect the interests of the aristocratic group, Samoyed will not care too much. He is a very old-fashioned person and attaches great importance to class. "

It seems that Qige knows the character of Duke Samoyed very well, and I think Qige must have had her thoughts on sending Catalina to the military camp under Duke Samoyed for training.

Qige then said to me: "Of those noble families in the inner city of Tanton City, there should be many young people in the families serving in the Duke of Samoyed's army. The punishment I am talking about refers to those who escaped from battle or fled without fighting. If they abandon their troops in the wild and escape alone, they will inevitably be punished if this happens to Samoyed."

Her words reminded me of the young noble earl who fled without a fight from the Trum stronghold, so I asked her: "Like Horace?"

Sometimes, I have to admire Qige's way of looking at people. I think this may be her talent. She has the "charm" that can easily see through a person's heart, so some of the things she said, I still Very convincing.

"He...probably not. He should be grateful that he has a great subordinate. If I were Horace, I would talk to Knight Disraeli and promise some small gifts to win over him. It’s so popular!” Qi Ge held her fair chin with both hands and said, “Maybe we can get a very good reward from the Duke of Samoyed.”

She blinked at me, her big eyes as blue as the night sky sparkling and smart, as if asking me: Do you care about Horace that much?

Qi Ge didn't seem to care too much about the waiters in the restaurant peeking at her. She was in a good mood, sitting there calmly and elegantly, with a unique charm in her every move and smile.

"My words are not directed at Horace. You seem to be very concerned about that Horace!" Qige covered her mouth gently, with a teasing smile in her eyes.

Qi Ge never misses an opportunity to make fun of me. Then she asked me with a slight smile: "Ji Jia, do you know what is most lacking in Tanton City now?"

I was so captivated by her charming appearance that my mind went blank and I asked without thinking, "What?"

Qi Ge lightly puffed out her red lips and said: "Contribution!"

Her beautiful black grape-like pupils reflected my reflection, and she said to me: "If those young nobles who escaped from battle want to be exempted from liability, they must buy some meritorious deeds to wash away their guilt. Even those young nobles whose family members performed well Families also need meritorious service. Only during times of war can these nobles have the opportunity to be promoted."

At this time, I finally understood a little bit.

I said to Qige: "You mean to say that this weird tense atmosphere among the aristocratic circles in the inner city of Tanton City is actually that they are all secretly looking to buy the black magic crystal?"

Qige nodded slightly and said reluctantly: "Absolutely!"

Her charming expression seemed to say: You have finally figured it out.

At this time, a carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant. The carriage driver eagerly jumped down from the seat in front, opened the door of the caravan, and stepped out of the carriage. A noble man in a formal dress with a fat belly stepped out of the carriage. With difficulty, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief and walked into the restaurant with squinted eyes.

Qige whispered to me: "If my guess is correct, someone will find us soon."
