Magic Industrial Age

January 26th, New Divine Calendar 311,

Approaching noon.

The group gradually returned: Maruna Marquez, Oliveira, Ang, and finally, Hoover the butler.

It wasn't that Old Hoover was slow, but he had made another trip to the Seven Gods Bank and the Guling Magic Tower of Philante Magic Academy.

Inside the study,

Luo Yi received the documents from Hoover, flipping them open while waving his hand, and said, "Tell them about it too?"

Hoover began, "At the Seven Gods Bank, the money was counted yesterday, totaling thirty-two thousand gold Thiels, eighty-nine silver Thiels, and seventy-three copper Thiels.

As for other goldware, silverware, agate, paintings, and the like, it required professional assessment, and only today did the accurate data come out, equivalent to seven thousand nine hundred gold Thiels, fifteen silver Thiels, and sixteen copper Thiels."

"Of course, this part is discounted. If handled separately, there would inevitably be a premium.

But Young Master Luo Yi also instructed to let Mr. Mark Williams handle it, so I didn't haggle too much."

"However, that Mr. Mark is also a man of the world and directly rounded it up to a total of forty thousand gold Thiels."

Even though they were somewhat prepared, the number still made everyone's breathing involuntarily heavier, even Luo Yi's.

It was simply too much, exaggeratedly so!

Luo Yi said, "According to my estimation, this wealth not only includes the pirate group's gains in Auckland City this time but also the accumulation of the Bloody Mary over the years.

It only reached such a value when combined."

As he said this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile, with a hint of mocking laughter: "Speaking of which, Captain Giss was very confident, confident that no one could steal his money.

It's just a pity that we got the benefit!"

Hoover added, "Then there's Philante Magic Academy, where the Guling Magic Tower valued the corpse of the Fire Demon at five thousand gold Thiels.

Although the head was missing, the Fire Demon's body was relatively intact, hence the high price.

Moreover, they are quite interested in the Basilisk's materials, but it's unclear what we need to keep, making it difficult to give an assessment."

"This part, I'm afraid Young Master needs to go there in person."

Luo Yi nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, I need to make a trip!"

Saying this, he looked up, surveyed the crowd, and then said, "This wealth is a bit conspicuous, so my requirement is to spend it as much as possible."

"Maruna?"

Maruna placed a hand on her chest: "I'm here, what are your orders?"

Luo Yi said, "Speaking of which, I should have let you rest for a while, after all, your two children were just brought back and were frightened.

But you can see the situation now, it's not suitable, so I need you to get to work immediately."

Maruna smiled: "My children aren't that fragile, and neither am I.

Are you asking me to find a magic-powered machinery factory to invest in?"

"Yes!"

Luo Yi nodded slightly, and continued, "However, this time you need to grasp a few points.

First, start by talking to the families to whom we returned the corpses. Second, try to overpay as much as possible, giving value beyond the estimated value. Finally, whether the deal goes through or not, you must appear generous enough.

Put the sign that I'm not short of money and willing to throw money around on your face."

Maruna was stunned: "You, you mean?"

"Spend money to avoid disaster. Only when the money is spent, and there are industries, forming a community of interests, can the danger be eliminated."

"In ancient words, this is 'It's better to enjoy together than alone!'"

"Understood!"

"Butler Hoover, you are in charge of the expenditure and statistics of the money, but report to me on what to invest in specifically!"

"Alright!"

"Ang, as for your side, spread out all your newsboys and little beggars. I don't need them to resist anything,

but if there are any abnormalities, I need to know as soon as possible."

After a pause, he added, "As for money, you can get it from Butler Hoover, give them enough, and let the little guys put their hearts into it!"

Ang nodded heavily: "No problem!"

Finally, Luo Yi looked around and summarized: "Everyone, remember, this money is not just mine, nor is it just the Raymond family's, but everyone here has a share.

I will use this to establish a company, and you will all be original shareholders. As for the specific equity division, we will subdivide it after things settle down.

What I can guarantee is that you will all have an extra income, and as long as it is managed well, this income will increase more and more."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up. Except for Oliveira, who was relatively calm, even a steady person like Old Hoover was trembling.

Ang was even a little incredulous: "Yo, Young, Young Master, does what you said include me too?"

"If not, why would I call you here?"

"Th, th, then thank you Young Master, thank you Young Master!"

Luo Yi smiled, very calmly. Throwing money around is not only for outsiders but also for insiders.

Finally, Luo Yi looked at Oliveira and said, "Teacher, this afternoon, shall we go to the Ancient Moon Magic Tower?"

"Alright!"

Oliveira nodded, paused, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Of course! This time, we have to make a good start by throwing money around!"

……

Philante Magic Academy has two magic towers, one of which, the Moonstone Magic Tower, specializes in magic-powered machinery and is the most popular direction.

Usually, those who come in and out are at least magic apprentices, and black robes are standard, with the largest number.

The Guling Magic Tower publicly claims to specialize in magic potions.

Mainly because only magic potions are necessary for war-related professionals and mages to cultivate, travel, and even fight.

Only magic potions can barely compete with magic-powered machinery.

However, in addition to potionology, there are actually many traditional magic inheritances in the Ancient Moon Magic Tower, such as magic scroll drawing, micro-engraving magic arrays, and classical alchemy.

Especially classical alchemy. Although magic-powered machinery is popular, no one can deny the glory of classical alchemy.

Compared to the crudeness, popularity, and systematization of magic-powered machinery, classical alchemy can create many magical equipment with considerable effects as long as there are sufficiently precious materials.

The Silver Angel Rapier in Luo Yi's hand is a product of classical alchemy, a fine weapon with three attributes.

The descendants of Leviathan, Basilisks, are definitely extremely powerful monsters and excellent magic materials.

At the cost of the Fire Demon and the Basilisk, Luo Yi can exchange for some magical equipment that will not appear on the market in the magic tower.

After lunch, Luo Yi and Oliveira set off, and before leaving, he called Ang.

The Raymond family's carriage went unimpeded. When entering the Magic Academy, Madam Linda was already waiting at the entrance of the Guling Magic Tower.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Madam Linda led them into her potion laboratory and served tea in the living room.

Anyone who has really been to the magic tower knows that there are indeed spatial extension magic arrangements inside, and the area is much larger than it looks from the outside.

As a second-order LV8 official mage and potion maker, Madam Linda's position is not low, even in the Guling Magic Tower, she is second only to the tower master.

Her laboratory is on the sixth floor of the magic tower, with an area of ​​over 300 square meters, and the living room is located by the window, also with an area of ​​sixty to seventy square meters.

Although the layout is not luxurious, it is exquisite everywhere.

Most importantly, from this angle, the entire Philante Magic Academy can be seen, with excellent scenery.

It was also here that magic apprentices served tea and desserts for several people. Luo Yi took a sip. Well, it was sweetened, which he didn't like.

However, looking out from this angle, the magnificent library came into view.

So, Luo Yi's heart moved: "Madam Linda, if I want to go to the second floor or higher of the library to read, what should I do?"

Linda was still wearing a moon-white robe, which seemed loose, but was still curvaceous. She elegantly ate a small dessert before saying, "To go to the second floor of the library, theoretically, you must have a certain status.

For example, a teacher at the Magic Academy, or someone who has made a significant contribution to the academy."

Luo Yi asked again: "Then, if I am willing to donate to the Ancient Moon Magic Tower to fund the magic learning of poor students, will that work?"

"This?"

"One thousand gold Thiels!"

Linda paused and asked, "Just for a spot on the second floor of the library?"

Luo Yi smiled: "Also to give back to the academy's cultivation and for the construction of the Magic Academy, is one thousand gold Thiels enough?"

Linda only remained silent for a few breaths before smiling: "I think the Dean will be very happy!"

Luo Yi added: "Also, I want to announce through the Magic Tower's platform to purchase a special magic material, the Arcadia Crystal.

I wonder if Madam Linda can help?"

Linda frowned slightly: "Arcadia Crystal, a magic core of a sacred and fire dual-system monster.

This is an extremely rare magic material, I'm afraid it's really not easy to find? What do you want it for?"

"I have my own uses, but it's not convenient to go into details. Madam Linda, how many gold Thiels do you think is appropriate?"

Madam Linda frowned slightly again, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you have to put a price on it, I think four thousand to five thousand gold Thiels would be very appropriate!

However, this kind of top-quality magic material requires luck, depending on whether there is circulation on the market."

"Then I'll set the price at six thousand gold Thiels first!"

Luo Yi said seriously: "I need it relatively urgently, and preferably the magic power inside is completely intact.

The requirements are so high, it must be more expensive, so let's make it seven thousand!"

"And I have to use the Magic Tower's platform and need you to help me contact, it will definitely be more expensive, so let's make it eight thousand."

"And Madam Linda is busy and has put in so much effort, you always have to show something, so let's add another thousand, nine thousand!"

"However, I think the number nine thousand is not very good, why not round it up, ten thousand, how about ten thousand gold Thiels?"

Clatter!

The teacup in Linda's hand fell to the ground, and the tea wet the expensive wool carpet, but she couldn't care about anything anymore.

She suddenly looked up, stared at Luo Yi, and asked, "Luo Yi, aren't you joking with me?"

"Do you really have so many gold Thiels?"
