My Magic Age

Xinliugu Magic Seal Workshop is like a machine that never stops. More than 60 female dwarves are divided into four groups to operate four magic engraving machines in turn, printing magic rune plates day and night. After having enough thin copper plates, magic rune plates are continuously produced by the dwarves.

The Magic Seal Workshop is filled with a strong smell of engine oil. Three spider slaves are tied to a huge stone mill with black iron chains. The stone mill pushed by the spider slaves is the power source of the four magic engraving machines. A main shaft with a diameter of four feet stands in the middle of the millstone. It is connected to the four magic engraving machines by the bevel gear and worm gear transmission system.

The success rate of magic engraving of magic rune plates has stabilized at about 35%, so the Magic Seal Workshop can produce 200 fire-gathering rune plates and miniature tornado rune plates every day.

Since there are two magic patterns on the giant crossbow arrows, namely "sharp" and "penetrating", and these two magic patterns must be printed on the diamond-shaped slope of the arrows, the success rate of magic engraving is only about 4%, which means that only one qualified magic crossbow arrow can be produced for every 25 giant crossbow arrows.

However, this does not mean that the remaining 24 magic giant crossbow arrows are scrapped. Among the remaining 24 failed products, seven or eight semi-finished products with a single magic attribute can be found. These giant crossbow arrows only have a single magic attribute of "sharp" or "penetrating". These crossbow arrows with a single magic attribute are also valuable.

In this way, a magic engraving machine can only produce 80 dual-attribute magic giant crossbow arrows, 200 single-attribute magic giant crossbow arrows, and 400 discarded attributeless giant crossbow arrows every day when it is fully loaded.

Of course, the 400 attributeless arrows cannot be considered as waste, and they can still be sold at the original price in the market.

…

The giant crossbow arrows that Earl Donald purchased for the South Wind Corps are crossbow arrows with magic patterns engraved on them but without any magical properties.

During the time when I returned to El City to participate in the winter hunting, Earl Donald of the South Wind Corps gave me a total of three purchase orders. The number of crossbow arrows on each purchase order was only one thousand giant crossbow arrows. These three batches of giant crossbow arrows were delivered to the logistics department of the South Wind Corps on time.

This time, the South Wind Corps suddenly and urgently carried out war reserves, which should be because they received an urgent "firefighting" mission. At present, no accurate information has been received, and it is not known which plane it is.

The military supply department of the South Wind Corps was built on the slope behind Prince James's lakeside manor. It was a pure white three-story spire building.

The magic caravan drove in from the front door of the lakeside manor, bypassed the gray-white castle, and passed through the entire manor to the entrance of the logistics department of the South Wind Legion. Catalina and I got off the magic caravan and stepped on the stone steps polished by granite. I saw ten guards wearing the standard military uniforms of the South Wind Legion standing neatly in front of the building with spears and iris shields in their hands. I took a deep breath and walked up the stone steps to meet the fully armed guards.

The simple and tough lines of this building made people look serious at once.

Not far away, a row of large magic caravans were unloading boxes of military supplies, and a team of soldiers wearing light leather armor carried these wooden boxes into the round arched warehouse next to them.

Ying Li did not get off the car with me. After I got off the car, the magic caravan returned to the castle in front.

Catalina and I passed by the guards without being questioned. We walked all the way to the gate of the building and were stopped by the guards at the door. The guards asked us to show our pass.

I said to the guard at the door: "It was Earl Donald who invited us here."

After saying that, he took out Earl Donald's invitation from his arms. The guard opened it and checked it, then ran into the building with the invitation.

Soon after, an adjutant in a second lieutenant's uniform came out. He took me to the logistics department of the South Wind Corps and went upstairs to find Earl Donald.

Earl Donald's office is on the third floor. There is only a large, antique walnut desk in the room, which is piled with documents.

When I walked into the room, he was holding a quill pen and writing on parchment documents. He sat upright in a chair with his hair combed meticulously. Perhaps it was because the weather had turned a little warm recently, his noble military uniform coat was hung on the floor-standing hanger in the corner of the room. He was only wearing a magic pattern spider silk shirt. He looked up at me and motioned me to sit down on the sofa next to him.

The glass windows in the room were all open, and from here you could just see a corner of Weiyang Lake, with the blue water sparkling.

Donald called the adjutant to his side and whispered a few words to him, then the adjutant turned and left Count Donald's office.

A servant came in from the door with two cups of tea, and his eyes always fell on Catalina's face inadvertently, and it seemed that he was attracted by some characteristics of Catalina.

Catalina and I sat on the sofa and waited for a while, and the adjutant came back with a magic box.

Donald saw him put the magic box on the square table in front of the sofa, and then he stood up. He walked to sit opposite me, stretched out his hand and gently pressed his temple. It can be seen that he was a little tired.

Count Donald sat on the sofa, frowned and smiled at me and said: "Count Jijia, I have never understood that the giant crossbow arrowheads you sold to us are both from the North Duisburg blacksmith workshop. Not only is there no problem with the quality, but it also bears complex magic marks. Why can it be sold at the same price as the giant crossbow arrowheads sold in the Beibao Blacksmith Workshop?"

Seeing his determined expression, I knew that Earl Donald probably knew the secret, so I didn't say anything.

Earl Donald continued to say to me: "No matter how you look at this business, you will never make a loss, unless you mix some inferior crossbow arrows with the magic arrows. But after three small batch purchases, I found that you Not only are the giant crossbow arrows provided not adulterated with inferior arrows, each arrow with the magic mark is carefully screened and of the highest quality.”

"It wasn't until I saw this magic crossbow arrow that I realized that these giant crossbow arrows with magic patterns you sold to the legion were really the failure of the inscription master when drawing dual-attribute magic patterns." After finishing speaking, , he smoothly opened the magic sealing box in front of me, "This magic giant crossbow is well done!"

There is a dual-attribute giant magic crossbow arrowhead inside the magic sealing box. The magic power of the magic crystal fragments on the arrowhead has not been completely evaporated. I can clearly feel the magic aura flowing continuously on the giant crossbow arrowhead.

"Did this giant magic crossbow arrow come from the North?" I found that there were blood stains in the magic mark of the arrow that could not be wiped off, so I asked Count Donald.

When I was guarding the Beilan Lake Pass, I used a large number of magic giant crossbows. Some of the magic giant crossbows were left around the Beilan Lake Pass, but the number was definitely not large.

Unexpectedly, Count Donald actually got such a magic giant crossbow. Seeing me asking this, Count Donald nodded: "That's right."

I said to Count Donald: "When I first met you, I explained this matter. These giant crossbow arrows were indeed failures after drawing the magic pattern array, so it is not difficult to explain that I still have some successful products here. "

"I have not forgotten what you said at that time, but I can't believe that there are actually inscribers who are willing to inscribe magic patterns on the arrows of giant crossbows!" Count Donald held his hair with five fingers.

He said frankly: "And we didn't realize the importance of the magic giant crossbow at that time. At that time, I thought the lethality of the ordinary bed crossbow was already very good. It was only through the battle of Beilan Lake Pass that we realized the magic giant crossbow." A huge role on the battlefield.”

He leaned forward, stared into my eyes, and said solemnly: "I invite you here this time because the legion is about to purchase a large amount of crossbow arrows."

I looked at Count Donald expectantly.

Seeing my expression, he relaxed a little and continued to say to me: "Although it is not convenient to reveal the plane battlefield for the time being, the five Constructed Knights of our South Wind Legion are about to face several difficult exhibitions. , In order to increase the chances of winning this battle, I would like to discuss with you whether it is possible to purchase a batch of magic crossbow arrows from you?"

I happily agreed: "Of course, it's no problem!"

The news in the northern border has spread to the imperial capital, which means that the magic giant crossbow has been known to many people.

I simply can't refuse this deal. After all, Prince James is the supreme commander of the Southwind Army no matter what. If I reject Earl Donald's request this time, how can I have the dignity to walk into the lakeside manor in the future?

"I like a cheerful young man like you. You are worthy of being chosen by Princess Yingli." Earl Donald couldn't help but frown when he heard what I said. He promised me: "As long as you can provide us with this quality Magical giant crossbow arrows, I can give you this large order of giant crossbow arrows in the legion first, and you can eat as many as you can."

I rubbed my itchy nose and suggested to Count Donald: "Actually, in addition to dual-attribute magic crossbow arrows, I also have a batch of single-attribute crossbow arrows in my hand."

"Oh?" Earl Donald looked at me with great interest, pretending to listen carefully.

I talked to him: "There are two types of giant crossbow arrows with a single attribute. One type has a 'sharp' magic attribute, which allows the giant crossbow arrows to easily cut through the tough leather of the enemy. This kind of magic giant crossbow arrows The price of each arrow is twenty-five silver coins. Another type has the magic attribute of 'penetration', which allows giant crossbow arrows to penetrate the defense layer of tower shields and heavy metal armor. This kind of magic giant crossbow arrows cost thirty-five silver coins each. silver."

There is no fluctuation in Earl Donald's eyes, and it seems that he can accept such pricing.

Then he asked me: "Where are the giant crossbow arrows with two attributes? How much does it cost?"

I replied: "Each one costs two gold coins and fifty silver coins, and I can't get many. The failure rate of this kind of dual-attribute giant crossbow arrow is very high, and it is very difficult for the rune board workshop to make it." "

He frowned slightly and asked, "How many can you get?"

I did some calculations, and then answered: "Now that I have spent all my money, I can only collect two thousand sticks!"

Count Donald didn't expect that I could actually take out so many giant magic crossbows. He took a breath with a hiss and said casually: "It's barely enough."

Although the inventory of dual-attribute giant crossbow arrows in my hands far exceeded Donald's expectations, it was barely enough for the South Wind Legion's campaign.

So I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Count Donald, how many giant crossbow arrows do you need for this bulk purchase?"

Count Donald immediately replied: "I have a purchase order for 50,000 giant crossbow arrows. How much can you take?"

I rubbed my nose again and asked shamelessly: "Can I place the entire order?"

Count Donald didn't expect that I actually wanted the entire order. He looked at me with wide eyes and asked in surprise: "Can you take all of these?"

I answered very honestly: "Fortunately, the previous backlog of inventory was a little too much. There are almost 80,000 crossbow arrows piled up in the warehouse. ...But I suggest you purchase some more cost-effective single magic attribute giant crossbow arrows. I can provide about 10,000 of these arrows. "

Donald said to me with a shocked face: "I am really curious...how many inscription masters are helping you draw these magic crossbow arrows!"

Hearing Earl Donald's casual question, it reminded me of the female dwarf craftsmen in the magic seal workshop, so I said to Earl Donald: "About forty people!"

In this way, I got a big order from the South Wind Corps, but I also lost some magic crossbow arrows accumulated in these days.

However, Earl Donald never talked about the price from beginning to end. He didn't even bargain with me. It seems that Earl Donald still quite approves of the price I set.

In fact, I am quite curious about which plane Prince James will lead the South Wind Corps to fight in this time.

This time, Duke Jingyue's North Wind Corps drove the barbarians to the north bank of the Running Horse River in advance, and got out of the northern defense war early. It only takes a month of rest to rush back to the plane battlefield.

The Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion fight the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra every year. They are experienced in combat and their bodies are as tough as steel. They are a new force on the plane battlefield. The plane war has begun to move in a positive direction.

I heard that the military power of the Royal Constructed Knights of Prince Wales fell into the hands of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charles. I don’t know where Prince Wales will go next. I thought I should talk to James if I have time.

The logistics department opened a separate gate behind the manor. I walked out of the back door of the lakeside manor directly. Before dark, I was going to the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute to meet Scholar Yekis. It has been two days since I returned to the Imperial Capital from El City, and I haven’t had time to say hello to Scholar Yekis.

No one expected that before the end of this cold winter, these copper hot pots with fire-gathering rune plates were still hot-selling.

I don't understand why people's enthusiasm for buying copper hot pots has not diminished as the weather gets warmer. However, in the past two days, magic caravans have been constantly coming to the Rune Workshop to replenish stocks. Every day, the alley outside the Rune Workshop is crowded with magic caravans.

Murray has been busy these two days, his eyes are red, and he probably hasn't had a good sleep for several days. He not only has to organize people to rush to make copper hot pots, but also has to rush to assemble 5,000 exhaust fans, ready to be put into the magic market in the imperial capital this weekend.
