My Magic Age

Chapter 1243 47. Prince Charles's Dilemma

In fact, under the auspices of Alia, this trading house is still running in an orderly manner.

Except for the two warehouses that stored important supplies that were emptied out and looked a bit depressed and messy, only the mountains of canned luncheon meat and meat floss piled up in the courtyard looked a bit unsightly. In fact, these imported products were shipped from the Pai Plateau. , the sales are not that bad, and there will never be a backlog that cannot be sold. Many civilian families can have a meal of fried luncheon meat or luncheon meat stewed with peas, which is also very luxurious.

The maid Betty transferred several employees from the textile workshop and the rune board workshop to the trading house, and quickly took over some of the affairs in the trading house. To the employees in the Wenban Workshop, the mountains of goods in the trading house were nothing. They quickly bumped the canned luncheon meat onto the flatbed trailer and emptied the two buildings in the yard after a busy afternoon. Big mountains.

This efficient labor rhythm made the old employees in the trading house feel a little overwhelmed, but they gritted their teeth and persevered without saying a word.

The old employees of the trading house made a surprising discovery after private chatting with the employees who came to the rune workshop in the seventh district. The rune board workshop maintained this kind of intensive labor almost every day, and there was no Anyone who dares to be lazy will be fired immediately in the rune board workshop if the manager Murray discovers that they are slacking off.

Because over on Seventh Street, the queue of civilians waiting for such a job stretched from the free market to the clock tower.

Aaliyah and I were busy until the evening, and finally finalized the list of new employees at the trading house. In the coming period, Betty will temporarily act as the manager of the trading house until a suitable new manager is found.

Push open the beautifully carved birch glass windows and let the cool evening breeze blow into the room, replacing the air with a hint of spicy tobacco smell.

Aaliya was wearing an exquisite imitation palace-style dress. Her slender waist was pressed against the window sill. She leaned out of the window and stretched lazily. Her charming demeanor seemed to make the queen of the mountain top that night Xia was eclipsed, her bright eyes were like a blue lake, and her low-cut dress exposed a large area of ​​fair skin. Under my bright eyes, she looked quite confident and smiled lightly at me.

I walked behind her, pressed closely against her plump body, put my hands around her slender waist, put my head to her snowy neck and took a deep breath, which was as warm as mutton fat. Her skin smells of sweet perfume, and her soft embrace is as easy to indulge in as a poppy flower. It is a style unique to mature women.

Aaliya turned around and put her chin on the top of my head. It seemed that I was so tickled by my kiss that she couldn't help but giggle.

Although the ordinary employees in the business had already gone off work, and there was only Betty sitting at the desk checking the accounts in the empty room, Aaliya still carefully pulled me away from the window, and she cautiously stuck her head out to look Outside the window, I saw no one in the courtyard of the trading company. Then I patted my chest gently and whispered to me: "Fortunately, no one saw me."

Hearing Aaliya say this, I felt guilty. Although Qige turned a blind eye to the love affair between Aaliya and me, if Aaliya and I were so unscrupulous and blatant in her Being intimate in a business store might offend Qi Ge.

As Qige's former personal maid, Katarina knew many more people in the imperial capital than the lizard maid Takama. Since something like this happened at Qige's trading house, Katrina decided to find Qige in the capital. Some close friends in the imperial capital know something about the situation and have not yet returned from outside.

I stood in front of the scarlet velvet curtains by the window. Alia's fair skin was covered with a light pink sheen after being kissed by me. She rested her head on my shoulder and whispered to me: "You It’s great to be back!”

The happiness revealed in Aaliya's words will make people's hearts expand uncontrollably in an instant, and it will also make me unable to help but take a breath to lift up my slightly thin chest.

She continued: "Those clowns were so frightened that they shrank into the shadows. In fact, they could have done this more beautifully. It was probably because you came back that they panicked."

I glanced at Betty, who was sitting on the other side of the room and was engrossed in reviewing the accounts, and asked Aaliya: "Have you found out who bought this batch of goods?"

"..." Aaliyah's breathing became a little faster, but she didn't speak.

"You know who it is, right? Aaliyah." I asked her softly.

Seeing that my eyes were firmly fixed on hers, she was in my arms and changed to a more comfortable position before saying: "Prince George and Quentin are behind the scenes, and you are behind the scenes." A few alumni from the Royal Academy of Magic..."

"Little Charlie, Quentin, Ivan and Diego?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

I didn't care when these people poached Nick and Brennan before, but I didn't expect that Benjili would extend its claws to Qige's trading house now, but I don't think Ivan and Diego alone would be able to do this. Great courage, even if Quentin has the support of Duke Ryan behind him, Qige's status as a professor at the Royal Academy of Magic, and her status as a scholar in the Magic Potion Union are not things that young nobles like them can easily mess with.

Aaliya reached out and took out a thin page of parchment from her arms. This folded parchment page had two daggers intertwined hot stamped on it. Behind the daggers was a blurry human face and a pair of Eyes without pupils, this is the common letterhead of the Thieves Guild.

Aaliya handed the letter to me, then stood up straight and tidied the long hair that I had made loose, and used a black comb to gather the loose hair again.

She said to me: "The news bought from the Thieves Association said that the manager and employees of the business are currently working in the workshops run by Ivan and Diego. I guess their intention is to worry about you. The following series of retaliatory actions temporarily protected them."

Aaliya straightened her long skirt that was wrinkled from the hug, walked to the exquisite sofa in the room and sat down, picked up a bottle of golden cider from the coffee table, poured herself a glass, and drank it all.

Although she slowly gave up her alcohol addiction, she still had to drink a few drinks every day.

Aaliyah leaned on the sofa and said to me: "It was the quartermaster of Prince Charles and a steward of the Bussman family who came forward to buy the batch of magic herbs from the business. There will be a large part of these magic herbs." Make a healing potion and transport it to the Royal Constructed Knights of Ahn'Qiraj."

My eyes narrowed slightly. I didn't expect that Prince George would actually use His Highness Charlie to do such a plundering thing. It was really stupid.

Seeing that I didn't mean to curse 'Little Charlie' George, Aaliya continued: "It is said that although His Royal Highness Prince Charlie achieved strategic goals in several battles over there, it was said that he relied on more than a hundred lords to join forces. It became an army of knights that was forced to push past on the battlefield."

"In other words, they have no tactics and strategies at all, and they are fighting the Naqma people on the frontal battlefield in the multiple planes of Ahn'Qiraj?" I asked casually.

Alia nodded at me.

I didn't expect His Royal Highness Prince Charlie to be so tough. Isn't he afraid of losing too many people and thus affecting the trust of the noble lords in him? I suddenly realized that His Royal Highness Prince Charlie’s move was really bad.

I guess he is in a bit of a dilemma now!

The five most powerful legions of the Green Empire joined forces in the Wala Valley of the Kenda plane to seal the connection between the inner side and the Abyss. It seemed that Prince Charlie was greatly touched!

Prince Charlie probably wanted to copy the victory of the Battle of Kenda to the multi-dimensional Ahn'Qiraj. Unfortunately, at this time, neither the northern or southern legions made any further moves. The North Wind Legion was suffering from the barbarian winter on the ice and snow tundra. During the slave-catching operation, the entire line was withdrawn to the north.

The Southwind Army commanded by Prince James rested and recuperated throughout the winter. Prince James was unwilling to send troops to the multi-dimensional Ahn'Qiraj, and Prince Charlie really had no choice.

Although the Mo family's army stationed in the Kenda plane can move freely, Mo Xiang, the eldest son of the Mo family, commands the Mo family's strongest construct knights. As one of the two youngest generals in the Green Empire, if the Mo family If the eldest son leads his army into the multidimensional plane of Ahn'Qiraj, at least half of the glory of victory will be taken away by the eldest son of the Mohist family. Obviously, Prince Charlie has no intention of sharing the glory of victory with others.

Aaliya's next words can be regarded as validating my guess: "The casualty rate in these battles is very high."

No wonder Prince Charlie is in urgent need of healing potions. The Royal Constructed Knights have always had the highest quota of munitions and supplies. Unexpectedly, in addition to this, a large amount of healing potions are also needed. It can be seen that Anchillador Those battles on the plane were so brutal.

Although this is the case, it is difficult for me to accept what little Prince George did. What is this, a provocation?

If the quartermaster from the royal family comes forward and offers to purchase a batch of magic herbs, I really can't refuse, I can only hold my nose and admit it.

But if they do things like this, don't blame me for what will happen next.

Alia said to me again: "I heard that a dozen lords' Construct Knights were directly disabled. Not only did they not receive praise, they were forced to withdraw from the front line."

"Since the Constructed Knights have been crippled, what's the harm in withdrawing?" I asked in confusion.

Aaliya smiled lightly with a hint of ridicule and said: "If we withdraw at this time, they will not be able to share in the fruits of the subsequent victory!"

It seems that Prince Charlie is not as good as he imagined, otherwise he should never have done things like this.

Aaliya added: "The person who bought the corpse oil from here was a lord who came from the southern part of the empire. It is said that Quentin Busman's distant uncle."

"A member of the Busman family?" I asked Aaliya.

Aaliya shook her head and said: "It's just a small lord in the south. It can barely be regarded as a branch of the Bussman family. Ryan Bussman once helped him inherit the family title, so he and Quentin can't get along." Very close.”

She continued: "I came to the imperial capital this time, probably because I saw that the current situation of the plane war has improved, and I also want to join in to get involved. I guess I want to follow Prince Charlie's Royal Knights in the multi-dimensional Angela. Fishing for oil and water.”

"How courageous you are to dare to come forward to fish for trouble at a time like this!" I couldn't help but mock at the side.

Aaliya said: "There are many lords who want to get together to make money. Now half of the lords of the imperial capital are staring at Angela's multi-dimensionality!"

It seems that the Green Empire's previous victories in several plane wars blinded the eyes of these lords, making them only see the lucrative benefits after victory, but not pay attention to what will happen if they fail.

"So! How could a small southern lord be taken seriously by Prince Charlie?" Alia sighed.

I continued: "So this person is always thinking about the relationship with Prince George, 'Little Charlie'?"

Alia nodded to me and said: "I heard that recently this lord has frequently brought George and Quentin to various high-end places in the imperial capital, so he has successfully mixed in this matter."

Alia and I were talking about this matter. Alia's personal maid Betty had already checked the accounts in her hands. At this time, she came over with a pot of tea and said to me: "Now the lords who come to the imperial capital to look for war opportunities are almost crowding the second and third blocks of the imperial capital."

"Have you finished checking?" I asked Betty.

Betty nodded obediently and said, "Well, there are not many discrepancies in the large accounts."

"That's good!" I nodded, and then said to Alia, "Okay, that's all for today. Do you want to go home directly? I have an appointment to meet Louis in the evening. Can you take me with you?"

"..." Alia looked at me with a rather resentful look, and tears were almost dripping from her charming eyes.

So I had to promise her that if the Yekis scholar was not at the Magic Academy, I would go to her place for supper, which was considered to have calmed her resentment.

After the magic caravan sent Alia and Betty back to her manor, it was completely dark. Catalina was not with me, so Alia asked me to take her magic caravan to the Emerald Bay Trading Company to meet Louis Mensa.

Louis Mensa didn't expect me to come so late, so he met me in the mid-air garden on the roof of Emerald Bay Traders. I then realized that he invited me here to buy some 'Power of the Giant Bear' magic pattern constructions.

Nowadays, the three sets of magic pattern constructions designed by Yekis scholars have become the primary magic pattern equipment that all the lords in the imperial capital are vying to buy, but they are rarely available on the market. Even if you occasionally see one or two sets in the auction house, they are also 'Demon Snake Fang' magic pattern constructions...
