My Magic Age

The Babington family has ruled San Carlos for generations. It is the largest industrial city in the Green Empire. At the same time, the Babington family also controls the Anchirado plane. There are currently five large mithril mines concentrated in this plane. Anchirado was once occupied by the Nakma people in the Abyss, resulting in a shortage of mithril mines in the Green Empire. The private army of the Babington family could not face the Nakma people in the Abyss independently. In order to stabilize the mithril market, the royal family sent His Royal Highness Prince Charles to the Anchirado plane.

Nowadays, more than 70% of magic rune plates are sent from San Carlos City to all parts of the country. For magic rune plates, the Babington family has enough say and dominance. Therefore, the rune plate supplier conference will be held in Babington's manor.

Whenever this traditional magic manufacturing industry is mentioned, people will first think of the Babington family.

This year's magic rune plate supplier conference actually invited me to participate, which is somewhat beyond my expectation.

First of all, the feud between me and the Babington family can be traced back to last summer. Because of Alia, I had some conflicts with Duke Ryan Busman. Finally, with the help of various parties, Duke Ryan Busman returned to the Warsaw plane in disgrace, and Alia regained his freedom. In this matter, there are more or less shadows of the Babington family fanning the flames.

Alia's late husband Colin Babington was the first heir of the Babington family. As Colin Babington's widow, Alia should have a higher status in the Babington family, but this is not the case. The person who undermined Alia's power is Billy Babington, the current heir of the Babington family. This Marquis Billy Babington is worried that Alia's reputation in the Babington family will affect his future rule over the Babington family, so he tried every means to drive Alia out of the Babington family.

More than a dozen of the Babington family's subordinate planes encountered plane wars at the same time, which directly led to a shortage of Mithril Ore in the Green Empire. More than half of the magic rune plate workshops in San Carlos City were shut down, and blank Mithril Rune Plates were sold out in the Imperial Capital. At that time, by chance, I obtained the fine gold solution from the Francis scholar and successfully made the fine gold magic rune plate, which was mainly used to make miniature tornado rune plates.

After experiencing the rebellion of two downtrodden nobles, Nick and Brennan, my rune plate workshop grew into the largest supplier of the three primary magic rune plates of "Fire Gathering", "Miniature Tornado" and "Continuous Frost" in the Imperial Capital. Probably because of this, I have a place at this rune plate supplier conference.

The day before attending the rune plate supplier conference, I successfully jumped to the second-class marquis of the Green Empire at the merit exchange office of the Imperial Capital Logistics and Military Supply Department.

I felt that it was somewhat inadequate to attend this Rune Bar Supplier Conference as an earl, so I took out all the merits I had gained in the Yello plane and was promoted to the second-class marquis in the imperial capital. However, I still need to own a large area of ​​territory corresponding to the marquis status within the specified period to truly become a marquis.

The territory of the town of Trum is obviously still a little small, so I decided to attend this Rune Board Supplier Conference and return to the Yello plane to discuss with the ancient war tree Weisman to make me the nominal owner of the Green Valley Forest, so that my title of marquis can be legitimate. Now this marquis status is just a shiny badge on my chest.

The magic caravan stopped at the gate of the Babington family manor. I saw some gorgeous magic caravans parked on the roadside one after another. From time to time, some nobles and businessmen walked into the manor. Seeing that there was still some time, I sat in the soft leather sofa in the carriage and did not rush out of the carriage.

At this moment, Alia was leaning against me, leaning against the window and pointing at the nobles who came down from the magic caravan, introducing their identities in detail, and even some of the nobles Alia could accurately tell their preferences.

Taking advantage of a gap, Alia finally couldn't help but look at the marquis badge on my chest. This badge is made of a red crystal, which is particularly eye-catching when worn on the chest.

Although Alia has been continuously providing a large amount of urgently needed supplies to the Yero plane in the imperial capital, she does not know the specific situation of the battle in the Yero plane.

She also seemed quite curious about this, staring at me with charming eyes and asked: "How many Nibru spiders did you kill in the Yero plane?"

"Guess... I have ten constructed knights in the North Wind Legion in my hands, don't underestimate my strength." I said with a smile.

Alia had experienced the war life in the Yello plane and knew where our advantages were. She did not guess the specific number. She said to me with a smile: "With the selfless help of Duke Jingyue, all of you nobles have made a big step forward. What's next? What are your plans? It's not easy to become a duke of the Green Empire. This is not something you can get by accumulating merits. The Green Empire has only officially conferred 100 dukes. If you want to be among them, you must squeeze out the 100th ranked duke, and then you will have your place."

After hearing Alia say this, I realized that the dukes of the Green Empire are ranked.

"Squeeze out?" I asked.

Aria held her pointed chin in her hands, looked at me with squinted eyes and said, "When the power in your hands is almost equal to that of the Dukes, then you have the power to challenge any Duke in the Green Empire. The power war between the two dukes is based on their own strength and the army. "

So I asked: "You mean, as long as I defeat a certain Duke of the Green Empire, I can replace him as the new Duke of the Green Empire?"

Aria nodded, her eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, as if she was yearning for something she was pursuing, and murmured: "That's more or less it, but there are many regulations in the Green Empire that are aimed at the original defender. The Duke’s protection strategy, for example, the Dukes caught in a plane war are can avoid war. In addition, the defending duke can privately borrow troops from the alliance's dukes, so it is not easy to replace an existing duke. There are many other factors involved, including the attacker. The things that often come together are the forces formed by several dukes."

It turns out that the newly promoted Duke was not canonized by Emperor Charles the Great, nor did he rely on his military merits. Instead, he relied on his personal strength to replace the existing wealthy nobles of the Green Empire. However, even among the nobles, few people know about this kind of thing, and it is probably only limited to the small circle of upper-class nobles. After all, if too many people know about this, a big turmoil may occur in the Green Empire.

"How do you know this?" I asked Alia curiously.

Although she is the most famous socialite in the imperial capital, no one would take the initiative to say such things to her.

Aria said very frankly: "Colin has always wanted to become the second duke of the Babington family. Unfortunately, he died in the multi-dimensional Ahn'Qiraj before this wish was realized."

After saying that, she sighed slightly, as if she was sighing about her previous life.

"It's too early to tell me this now!" I said.

Thinking about the fact that all my private troops add up to less than a thousand people. Facing those dukes who often have hundreds of thousands of troops, this amount of troops is not enough to fill their teeth. Thinking of this, my mind gradually started to change. Come to your senses.

Aaliya turned her head towards the window. At this time, a gust of wind happened to blow, blowing away the bangs on her forehead. Her lips were coated with a layer of bright red lip gloss, which looked particularly attractive. She pursed her lips slightly and said: "Anyway, you have to understand these things sooner or later."

Seeing that the number of magic caravans parked at the entrance of Babington Manor was gradually decreasing, I knew that it was almost time for me to appear on the stage. I glanced at Betty and Catalina who were sitting opposite. Betty was still wearing an apricot yellow gauze skirt. The graceful figure is vaguely visible under the gauze skirt. Long skirts of this texture are almost the most commonly worn skirts by the maids of aristocratic families in the imperial capital. But when worn on Betty, it will have a different flavor.

Katarina, on the other hand, wore a tight-fitting Yaron leather armor and a hard-leather breastplate with magic patterns of the 'Shield of the Earth'. This magic pattern structure covered her tightly, with two straps tied to both sides of her thighs. Holding a dagger, she had been sitting in her seat with her eyes closed and concentrating.

Before getting off the bus, I asked Aaliya: "Are you really not going with me?"

Aaliya leaned forward, held my face with both hands, gave me a peck on the lips, and then said: "I'd better wait for you in the caravan. If I show up, not only will it not be of any help to you, but it will also It will also add some trouble to you.”

Seeing that Aria insisted on getting out of the car, I nodded, then opened the carriage door, took Catalina and Betty out of the magic caravan, and walked towards Babbington Manor.

…

He showed the pass to attend the Rune Board Suppliers Conference to the gatekeeper of the manor and walked into the manor.

Betty has lived here for about six years and is very familiar with this manor. Along the way, she kept whispering some interesting stories about the garden lawn, the fountain, the stables and the warehouse. Soon Betty was The maids in Babington Manor recognized him, but these maids and servants did not come over to say hello, they just pointed and exchanged words from a distance.

A tall auction stage was built on the lawn of the manor garden. There were white chairs under the auction stage. The nobles and businessmen gathered there. They sat in twos and threes on the chairs and whispered, letting this rune The board supplier conference seemed lively.

I walked to the corner of the last row and sat down. Betty and Catalina sat on my left and right sides respectively. I put my arm around her shoulders, and Betty rested her head on my shoulder. I looked like a A young nobleman who is not very good in public.

Betty quietly introduced the big shots sitting in the front seats. Her voice was soft and sounded very comfortable.

Catalina, on the other hand, sat on the chair with her hands folded across her chest and an indifferent expression, never even looking at the court.

Just as Betty and I were whispering, a young nobleman sitting in the row in front of me suddenly turned his head and nodded friendly to me. Then he looked at Betty carefully. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the apricot color of Betty's body. The gauze skirt fell directly on her On his body, he let out a sound of admiration, and then looked unscrupulously at Catalina on the other side. However, after Catalina sensed it, she raised her head and opened a pair of ruby-like eyes, and glared fiercely. The young noble glanced at him.

The faint murderous intention brought out from the battlefield instantly frightened the young noble's face and turned a little pale. The young noble immediately retracted his gaze, but Shan did not turn his head back, but smiled kindly at me and took a look. He glanced at the Marquis emblem on my chest and said, "Your family is really impressive. They prepared the Marquis emblem for you so quickly, and you also want to do the rune board business? Why have I never seen you before?"

Then, he narrowed his eyes and smiled and said to Betty: "I was rude just now. I think you look familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen you before."

Betty just blinked and said nothing.

The young nobleman was naturally familiar with himself and asked me kindly: "Are you going to be a senior or a junior?"

I was stunned for a moment before I understood what he was asking, so I replied: "My workshop only makes some elementary rune boards."

"Recently, the business of junior rune boards has not been easy. The profit margin of junior magic rune boards is too small. If you take away the piece given to the inscription master, there will be nothing left. Your rune board workshop over there is not bad. ?" The young nobleman probably came to talk, so he simply turned around and faced me.

"It's okay." I replied.

At this time, some paunchy nobles came to the front stage of the venue one after another. Betty pointed to one of the middle-aged men and whispered to me: "That is Billy. Marquis of Babington, a descendant of the Babington family." A successor."

The young noble showed a hint of worry and said, "This time we have taken back all the mines on the Babington family's plane. I don't know how much market share they will take back."

When he saw that I didn't speak, his expression became a little exaggerated and he said to me: "Did you hear that that guy Billy also invited that guy here this time?"

"Who?" I raised my head and asked him with a smile.

The young noble looked carefully to the left and right, and then said to me: "It is said that he is a magic student in the Royal Academy of Magic. That kid is also a figure. With his handsome face and smooth words, His Highness Qi Ge won over Princess Li. They hooked up at the same time, and this guy opened a restaurant in the imperial capital There is a somewhat special rune board workshop, which basically has a complete monopoly on those three types of magic rune boards... I heard that he has a formula for magic metal solution in his hand, which was found by His Highness Qige. Who Anyone who has that formula can make that special rune board..."

"Well, if this is all you can describe about the magic student, I want to tell you something!"

"...I am that magic student..."
