Lord Highlander

   Chapter 188 187. Magic Merchant

Suldak was riding on the horse, and he was inevitably worried. The exchange rate between magic spar and gold coins dropped a little. There are hundreds of magic cores that have not been polished. Although these magic cores will not be guaranteed to produce magic spar, they are also the kind of valuable items that can produce magic crystal fragments without magic spar.

  At this time, the exchange rate of magic spar in the imperial capital actually dropped, and the overall calculation of more than 200 magic cores resulted in a loss of at least 100 gold coins.

I heard from the middle-aged woman at the airport pier that if the stationmaster of the plane continues, the magic spar will probably continue to depreciate. In this regard, Suldak deeply believes that, after all, an evil spirit is destined to have a Magic spar, on the battlefield, as long as the evil spirits are continuously killed, these magic spar will be continuously transported to the Green Empire, and of course these magic spar will continue to depreciate.

  Suldak felt that at this time, the magic spar in his hand should be sold as soon as possible, and it might be more reliable to exchange it for gold coins.

   As the saying goes: Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, it is always right to turn into a box of gold coins.

   But first, these magic cores need to be polished into magic crystals, so after Suldak decided to enter the city, he went to a jewelry store and asked jewelers to polish all these magic cores. It is more reliable to find a bank to exchange magic spar for gold coins.

  Thinking of this, Suerdak stretched out his hand and patted Gubolaima's buttocks, signaling it to go faster.

There are endless wheat fields outside the city of Everson. At this time, the wheat fields are golden. Some laborers are standing in the wheat fields under the scorching sun to collect wheat. The wheat field was like a series of temporary tents, and a group of children and some homeless people ran to the field to pick ears of wheat.

As long as they don't steal wheat ears from the wheat stacks or pull unharvested wheat from the wheat fields, this practice of the homeless is protected by the law of the Green Empire. Farmers are not allowed to drive them away when picking wheat ears in the fields. The main reason for doing so is also to give some hope of survival to the homeless people who live at the bottom of society everywhere.

  In this harvest season, as long as you work hard, it is not difficult for one person to pick up two baskets of wheat ears a day.

After half a month, if the picked ears of wheat are ground into whole wheat flour, it will weigh at least a few hundred catties. If you dig some sweet potatoes from the wild and collect some tree rice in the woodland between the mountains and the wild, the annual living ration will be like this It can be easily obtained, as long as you have a shelter from the wind and rain, even if you are poorer, your life can still go on, even for those penniless homeless people.

There are still patches of sunflowers planted on the slopes in the distance. These sunflowers need to wait until autumn to be harvested. Now everything growing in the fields is so thriving. The farmers here do not plant these sunflowers to make spiced melon seeds. Sunflower seeds are used to extract oil. In autumn, whole sunflowers will be chopped down and transported to the threshing ground to be exposed to the hot sun. The harvested melon seeds will be sent to an oil mill specially designed for oil extraction.

  This is the Grimm Empire, where life is everywhere, wherever you go, even if you are penniless, there is always hope of living.

Suldak's heart was suddenly filled with this kind of pastoral scenery. Maybe the land in Hailansa City is more fertile than that in Everson City. Maybe he bought a piece of land at the foot of a hill or by the lake, and managed it. Become a farm manor, maybe this will be your new life.

  …

At the beginning of this month, a conflict broke out between magicians and upper-class nobles in the imperial capital of the Green Empire. Although this conflict did not spread to the entire Green Empire, the irreconcilable contradictions between magicians and upper-class nobles were clearer. As the surface of the water surfaced, the relationship between magicians and the noble class continued to deepen, and the relationship continued to deteriorate, which also caused some magic industries in the Grimm Empire to stagnate.

For a long time, the commoners of the Grimm Empire wanted to become nobles overnight. The only way was to awaken their own magic pool during the magic awakening ceremony when they were twelve years old, and become a person with elemental affinity. A magician, in this case, while obtaining the badge of a magic apprentice, he will also become a magic nobleman of the Grimm Empire.

Magic apprentices will enter elementary magic academies around the world for free. If they perform well enough, they can continue to study at higher magic academies with recommendation letters from their instructors. Magicians who graduate from higher magic academies often have such a few way:

The first one is to become a magic scholar by entering the magic guild or the magic research institute. Only the most outstanding magicians can become magic scholars. Sixty percent of them will be engaged in magic research.

The second is to join the army of the noble lords, become a member of the magician war group or become the manager of some magic workshops of the noble family, such as those magic rune board inscription masters, magic scroll making masters, magic gem craftsmen, alchemists Magicians, magic pharmacists, etc., the aristocratic world tried their best to recruit young magicians, and most of the time it was nothing more than wealth, power and women.

  The third is to join some private adventure groups to take adventures around the world. The world is so big, I want to see it everywhere. The magicians who choose to take this path yearn for freedom in their hearts. In fact, less than 10% of young magicians will choose this path.

It was precisely because of the conflict caused by Duke Ryan Busman at the ball that the magicians of the Green Empire suddenly realized that they were so unbearable in the eyes of the upper-class nobles. The nobles have never regarded the magician nobles as the same kind of people, and these ancient noble forces even look down on the magician nobles.

  As a result, a protest triggered by the magician nobles quickly broke out and swept the country.

In this way, the most direct impact on Suldak is that the repair work of the magic airship at the airport pier in Evelson City has stagnated, and the floating device of the magic airship needs a professional magic rune teacher every time before it sets sail. Check it again to ensure that the aerostat can operate normally during this voyage.

But now the magicians in Evelson City have participated in the general strike held by the local magic union to protest Duke Ryan's unequal attitude towards the magicians, so at the airport pier, Evelson The route between Bena City and Bena City will be changed to once a week. If half a month ago, the airship bound for Bena Province would be at least once every two days. After all, some of the supplies needed by the Bena Legion were transported from Bena Province. .

   These news were learned by Suldak from a fur trader who was about to return to Bena Province on the way back to Evolsen City.

This furrier is a magic nobleman himself, but he is limited by his talent, so he doesn't have much talent in magic. After graduating from Bena Junior Magic Academy, he graduated as a magic apprentice. After so many years, he is only a second-level magician. It's just a magician, and now he has opened a magic leather business in the city of Bena, and this business is doing very well.

  The magic merchant was able to mix with Suldak because he happened to hear Suldak speaking a Bena dialect when he was on the road. Suldak also wanted to know more about Bena Province, so he chatted with the magic merchant all the way...
