My Magic Age

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became silent. Madam Cecilia squinted her eyes and her face turned red and white. She quickly lowered her head and picked up the glass of sweet wine in front of her. She took a sip to cover up her inner embarrassment. He cut the cold shrimp into countless pieces on the silver plate, calmed down his mood, then raised his head to face me, forced out a smile with difficulty, and said: "Magic Jijia, it turns out you bought it This courtyard.”

Her smile was a little bitter, a little embarrassed, a little flustered, and a little weakly angry. When she squinted her eyes, her eyelashes looked very long, and her voice became a little hoarse and dry.

The bitterness in that smile may be due to the confusion about the unknown life in the future. She left the imperial capital and the life circle she was familiar with. She made a desperate move for the future and wanted to make a big fortune before the plane war was won. , Mrs. Cecilia took all her savings back to the province of Aydra, which had become unfamiliar. Perhaps she wanted to form a brand new construct knights, but in my opinion, these constructs of hers The pretend knights are too young, they still need training on the battlefield and baptism of blood.

The embarrassment in that smile may be caused by 'provoking a relationship between me and Aaliya, but she didn't expect that the financial sponsor behind Aaliya happened to be me'. Lady Cecilia never expected it in any case. The magical assistant beside Scholar Yerkes actually has such financial resources. She should have thought of it a long time ago. It is impossible for a noble lady like her not to read the magic newspaper. Some time ago, the incident between Princess Qige and Princess Yingli and me caused an uproar in the entire imperial capital. Maybe she never thought that I was that person. A young magician who married Qi Ge and Ying Li.

The panic in her smile was because she chose the latter between Scholar Yerkes and Knight Dunbar. Before leaving the imperial capital, Lady Cecilia unwisely let her new love meet Scholar Yerkes. Together, maybe this young knight will treat her in the future, And her team of construct knights gave her a lot of help, but this meeting and choice erased all the last traces of her in the heart of the Yerkes scholar. However, twenty sets of magic pattern constructs It was still in the hands of Scholar Yerkes, so there was an undisguised panic on her face.

The powerless anger is because of Knight Dunbar - this young knight with handsome appearance, marble-smooth skin, strong muscles, superb swordsmanship, and always talking about fighting for love, at critical moments It is not like what he said when he boasted about being able to act without panic in the face of danger. Instead, he would naturally choose to obey in the face of powerful forces without any blood.

Knight Dunbar has infinite vitality and fiery passion because of his youth, but he has not experienced the test of life and death. He has not yet been able to look like a mature man. Lady Cecilia needs a heart at this moment. A big tree or a big umbrella that can protect you from wind and rain. But all Knight Dunbar could give her was a moment of pleasure lying on the bed. Sometimes the choices in life, taking a step forward will lead to clear skies, while taking a step back will lead to heavy rain and squally winds.

The crystal chandelier on the roof is swaying gently, making the shadows under your feet swaying from side to side.

I said to Mrs. Cecilia: "This courtyard looks really good, quiet and unique. It is really not easy to sell such a satisfactory courtyard in the imperial capital."

Lady Cecilia smiled reluctantly at my compliment.

I asked Mrs. Cecilia: "It must be very expensive to form a Constructed Knights, right?"

Lady Cecilia put her hands together and put them on the dining table. She sighed lightly and said, "I have put all my savings into it, but it is a pity that it is not enough. Otherwise, I would not have sold this place." patio."

Aaliyah, who was sitting next to me, put her finger into the glass of sweet wine, dipped a little blueberry wine into it, quickly wrote a set of numbers on the table, and then told me a set of data, she said : "For a five-hundred-member Construct Knights, even if we don't consider the daily expenses of the Construct Knights for the time being, five hundred sets of magic pattern constructs alone would be enough." At least 60,000 magic crystals are needed. We can only choose the most common magic pattern structures. Next, I am afraid that we will have to go to Durva Province to purchase war horses, prepare logistics troops and baggage regiments, and also consider every detail. The salary of a Construct Knight, but all this is only needed at the beginning, and the trouble will become more and more as you go on.”

Hearing such detailed data from Alia, I also secretly took a breath. Calculating it this way, a 500-member Construct Knights would require at least 100,000 magic crystals to form. Next, It requires a steady supply of materials, which is really expensive.

Alia said to me: "If we can continue to win the plane war, we can recoup these investments with profits. Among them, the most profitable ones are the territories on the rich planes. If you are lucky, At that time, even if you took the knights across hundreds of miles without seeing an indigenous tribe, occupying such a vast territory, and opening up logging camps, mines, hunting grounds, and pastures on this land, it would take less than a few years. There will be a steady flow of wealth back.”

I rarely hear other people talk about plane development, and I am quite curious about these things, especially after I own a large forest and lake territory in Trum Town, Tanton City, in the Hierro plane. These things Gradually I began to pay attention.

Seeing that I was listening intently, Alia smiled smugly and said, "Many young nobles who set up their own businesses will have such experiences. Some borrow the knights in their family, some raise money from all sides to form a new knight order, and there are more than a dozen small adventure groups that temporarily put together a knight order. These methods are varied, but the ultimate goal is only one, to accumulate wealth and expand territory."

When I was in the Vashj plane, I also heard Noah and I talk about the various benefits of expanding territory on the plane, but Noah didn't explain it as thoroughly as Alia. It turns out that this is also a way for noble children to obtain titles.

Thinking of the wealth I had gained on the Vashj plane before, which was only enough to form a Construct Knights, I sighed and said, "Even if that's the case, the initial investment in the Construct Knights is too high!"

Alia looked at me speechlessly and said to me, "The main reason is that the price of magic pattern construction is too high. That's why many noble families have special inscriptionists. Although each inscriptionist is made of magic crystals, once they become inscription masters, all the efforts are worth it."

After Alia's explanation, I suddenly felt that Lady Cecilia was really bold this time.

Scholar Yekis finally couldn't help asking Lady Cecilia, "How many magic crystals are there?"

Lady Cecilia shook her head silently and said nothing.

Alia glanced at Scholar Yekis and asked him with a smile: "Scholar Yekis, you are not going to sell or give these magic pattern structures you brought tonight to Lady Cecilia."

Scholar Yekis raised his head, put the knife in his hand on the silver plate, and then said to Alia seriously: "It is my greatest ability to bring back these twenty sets of high-level leather armor intact."

Hearing what Scholar Yekis said, Lady Cecilia's expression was slightly moved, and she looked at Scholar Yekis with gratitude.

I think Lady Cecilia's grateful eyes are not only because Scholar Yekis helped her make twenty sets of magic pattern structures, but also because Scholar Yekis still maintains the respect she deserves for Lady Cecilia at this moment. Lady Cecilia wants to retain the last bit of noble dignity in front of Scholar Yekis, and does not want to accept the gift from Scholar Yekis.

The price of a set of ordinary primary magic rune construction is about 120 magic crystals. For the inscriptionist, there is a high probability of failure when making magic rune construction. If the success rate of making magic rune construction can reach about 60%, it can be regarded as the inscriptionist's drawing skills are skilled. If the luck is not too bad, the inscriptionist can make a profit at this time. However, if you really want to make money, then the success rate of this inscriptionist drawing magic rune construction must be at least 80%.

Few inscriptionists can make all the prepared leather armor into magic rune construction without any damage when making magic rune construction. There will always be some failed products. These failed products are the uncertain factors in the hands of the inscriptionist. Therefore, many times, those noble lords would rather spend a high price to buy finished magic rune construction than take high-level leather armor to find an inscriptionist to draw magic rune arrays on it.

Madam Cecilia took out 20 sets of high-level leather armor and asked Yekis scholar to draw magic pattern construction. Among them, there were 10 sets of leather armor for earth storm bears and 10 sets of hard leather armor for petrified lizards. These leather armors were all high-end products in the category of level 3 magic beasts. Although they were not as good as Kalancuo's spider warlord hard leather armor and Katarina's dragon light leather armor, this kind of leather was also the best choice for making primary magic pattern construction.

Such a high-quality primary magic pattern construction is worth at least three times more than ordinary magic pattern construction. I guess Madam Cecilia did not expect Yekis scholar to bring back all these high-level leather armors, but now Yekis scholar said so, which undoubtedly confirmed the number of magic pattern constructions brought tonight.

I guess maybe just a moment ago, Madam Cecilia was still worried about how many sets of magic pattern constructions Yekis scholar would bring out tonight because of Knight Dunbar, but she never thought it would be a complete set of 20 sets.

Perhaps because she was concerned about the twenty sets of magic rune structures, Lady Cecilia ate several dishes in succession without any appetite.

After finally reaching the moment when the dessert was over, Scholar Yekis had no intention of staying with Lady Cecilia, so he took out the twenty magic boxes from his magic waist bag one after another, placed them on the open marble floor in the restaurant, and opened the lids of the magic boxes one by one. The magic rune structures in the magic boxes looked radiant and colorful, and the glow of magic occasionally crossed the surface of the magic rune structures.

Lady Cecilia stood up from her seat and stared at the two rows of exquisite primary magic rune structures in front of her. She placed her hands on both sides of her body and clenched them into fists.

"The total cost of making twenty sets of primary magic rune structures is 2,400 magic crystals. Don't forget to have someone send them to the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute." After Scholar Yekis put the twenty sets of magic rune structures on the ground, he said to Lady Cecilia calmly.

Alia sat next to me, wrinkled her nose, snorted softly, and then muttered in a voice that only the two of us could hear clearly: "I took out twenty sets of high-level leather armor and got twenty sets of primary magic pattern structures. And I bought them at the market price. No matter how you look at this deal, Cecilia won't lose out."

Just as Knight Dunbar and two other young knights stepped forward to inspect the magic pattern structures, Scholar Yerkes stood up and said goodbye to Lady Cecilia.

I asked Alia: “Is this yard sale done?”

She nodded and said to me: "It's done. If I hadn't heard that Scholar Yerkes and you would come here in the evening, I would have left with the two of them in the afternoon."

I said, "Then what are we doing here? Let's go together."

So Aria said goodbye to Lady Cecilia, and Lady Cecilia took us to the door with her entourage. Before Aria boarded the magic caravan, she also said to Lady Cecilia: "Tomorrow morning I will send someone to officially take over the courtyard."

Mrs. Cecilia nodded slightly and said to Aaliya: "I will leave here tomorrow morning. I will leave the follow-up matters to the housekeeper. After he has handed over the courtyard, please help him buy a ticket to fly to Ferry tickets in Aydra Province.”

Finally, Aaliya turned around and walked out of the magic caravan, opened her arms and hugged Lady Cecilia deeply, and said to her: "Don't worry, I will have someone send him to the magic airship."

Aria and Lady Cecilia stood side by side in front of the magic caravan, looking up at the beautiful buildings in the courtyard. Aria's eyes were blurred and she said with deep emotion: "Come to think of it, we have known each other for six or seven years. At that time, your husband had just bought this courtyard in the imperial capital, and Colin and I attended the dance party you held together, and you blatantly seduced Colin at the dance. "

Lady Cecilia actually laughed and said to Aaliya: "At that time, Colin was still the first heir of the Babington family, and he controlled the entire industrial empire of San Carlos, the imperial capital at that time. In addition to Prince Charles, the four most high-profile young men from wealthy families - Colin Babington, Louis Mensah... No matter which one you fall in love with, it is possible that he will become the lover of the future Grand Duke. I How can you not be tempted?"

I don't know who sighed.

After a moment of silence, the two people said in unison: "Time flies so fast!"

The magic caravan slowly drove out of the courtyard that was about to belong to me. Until the moment the gate closed, I could still see Lady Cecilia standing on the stone steps through the gap in the railing of the gate, the copper gate facing towards The outside was open, and the bright light from inside the door covered her body, giving her an indescribable feeling of loneliness.
