My Magic Age

Count Conrad transported thirty boxes of dual-attribute giant crossbows from the warehouse in the third block of the imperial capital. These giant crossbows will be sent to the battlefield of Luoqi plane.

Since the dual-attribute magic crossbows became an important factor for the imperial army to win in the plane war, a large number of giant crossbows have sprung up in the magic market of the imperial capital. These magic crossbows are of various types and the prices are relatively high. The most common single-attribute magic crossbows sold by magic market merchants are sold at a price of about 60 silver coins, which is almost three times the price of the single-attribute magic crossbows I sell. The price of dual-attribute magic crossbows is as high as one magic crystal.

The lords in the imperial capital have called on the magic union to reduce the prices of magic crossbows and magic potions for such expensive armaments. Otherwise, those small lords are more afraid of the plane war. The concept of "failure in a war is equal to bankruptcy" is now deeply rooted in people's hearts.

A few months ago, in the absence of temple priests, if the Green Empire wanted to launch a campaign, the lords not only needed to invest in weapons and equipment and constructed knights, but also needed to prepare sufficient life potions before the campaign. Since the price of magic herbs has remained high, these life potions are a heavy burden for the lords.

Now, although the Green Empire has won victory after victory in the plane war, the situation of excessive resource consumption has not improved at all, but has become more and more serious. In order to ensure the victory of the plane war, the noble lords' investment in the war has continued to rise. It was under this situation that the 'giant magic crossbow' came into the sight of the noble lords.

First, it shined in the war of the Yello plane, and then helped Prince Wales defeat the Nakma people. All signs show that the bed crossbows produced by the Green Empire Armament Workshop can no longer meet the needs of the plane war. These bed crossbows need to be matched with stronger crossbows to exert greater power.

The single-attribute giant magic crossbow arrows here are priced at 20 silver coins each. The super low price makes Earl Conrad worry that someone will get there first. After all, there are many lords in the imperial capital who are involved in the plane war. Even if they do not participate in the plane war, it does not prevent the lords from hoarding these magic crossbow arrows in their hands. Even if they sell them at a difference, they can make a lot of money.

This time, Earl Conrad saw a large number of holy silver crossbow arrows I prepared for the Pai Plateau Orc Tribe in the warehouse. Seeing the magical luster flowing on those crossbow arrows, Earl Conrad couldn't help asking me the price of these holy silver crossbow arrows. In fact, although these holy silver crossbow arrows look dazzling, more than half of the giant crossbow arrows look dazzling, but in fact, the price I set is much lower than expected.

The orcs only need to plate a layer of thorium on the blade of their weapons. When thorium touches the undead, it will burn the soul fire in their bodies. Therefore, the giant crossbow arrows transported to the orc tribe of Pai Plateau are all plated with a layer of thorium, but in fact, more than half of these giant crossbow arrows are ordinary and have no magical effects, and the other half are single-attribute giant crossbow arrows with one of the two magical effects of "sharp" and "penetrating".

It is precisely because of the surge in demand for giant crossbow arrows that the demand for black iron arrows in the Magic Seal Workshop has also risen sharply recently. Orders for black iron arrows have fallen like snowflakes at the North Duisburg Blacksmith Workshop, which makes the boss of North Duisburg, Count Robert, often complain to Alia, explaining that the production capacity of the blacksmith workshop is already saturated and there is no way to increase orders.

As the news of the third price reduction of primary magic rune plates spread in the magic market of the imperial capital, this news completely put the rune market into an awkward situation. The price gap between traditional magic rune plates and new magic rune plates widened again, which directly led to the two traditional magic rune plates, "Fire Gathering" and "Miniature Tornado", being unprofitable in the hands of rune merchants. Many rune workshop owners were forced to terminate the relevant orders for these two magic rune plates.

According to the original words of the magic merchant: the red copper magic rune plate is a bit unreasonable!

Then the magic workshop launched the magic table lamp with copper statue lamp holder. Although these magic table lamps are somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of energy saving, the strong artistic sense of the copper lamp holder and the visual impact of the magic of "twilight illumination" attracted the attention of many petty bourgeoisie nobles. In just one week, 500 magic table lamps were snapped up.

Murray then ordered two thousand more lamp holders for magic table lamps from the copper workshop. Unfortunately, each of these copper portrait lamp holders was handmade by coppersmiths, and the production capacity was greatly restricted. Many magic merchants could only queue up to pick up the goods from the Rune Workshop. The more in short supply the magic table lamps were, the better the market feedback was.

…

The most prosperous commercial street in the fifth block has several of the most famous buildings in the imperial capital, including the Imperial Capital Auction House, the Royal Opera House, the Royal Holiday Hotel, the Magic Teleportation Hall, the Arena, etc. At the same time, this street also has the largest department store in the imperial capital. This commercial department store covers an area of ​​nearly ten acres and is divided into eight floors. This department store sells a variety of low, medium and high-end goods and is known as the "grocery store" with the most complete range of goods in the imperial capital.

The boss is said to be a legendary figure. Noah said that he is a duke who ranks very high in comprehensive strength in the Green Empire. The row of gargoyle statues on the roof of the building are the guardian beasts of their family, and the main entrance of the department store is also printed with a gargoyle pattern.

As the Harvest Festival approaches, the streets of Fifth District are also decorated with colorful lights, and many buildings have colorful flags. There are obviously many more pedestrians on the streets than at any time, and the streets and alleys are very lively.

Seniors Noah, Vernon, and I were sitting on the stone railing across the street from the Imperial Department Store, staring with interest at the people coming in and out of the department store.

In two months, the Imperial Capital will usher in a cold winter. Last winter, three huge snowstorms almost completely paralyzed the Imperial Capital's traffic. Many unprepared families suffered from the cold. As the Harvest Festival approaches, Imperial Capital residents began to Winter storage, in addition to keeping warm In addition to clothing to keep out the cold, food and fuel that are easy to store are also indispensable. Not only that, many people in the imperial capital specially come to the department store to buy copper hot pots, which are magic that can both cook and keep warm indoors. The items are very popular among people in the imperial capital.

As the retail price of copper hot pot dropped below 40 silver coins, the imperial capital once again ushered in a rush to buy copper hot pot. The department store in front of them is the place with the largest shipment volume of copper hot pot, and the sales of exhaust fans also have a clear upward trend. But Nuoyan, Senior Vernon, and I came here for another kind of product.

The street was full of people, and people passed in front of us from time to time. Young nobles wearing magic robes and knight leather armor like us were very common on the street. People seemed to have been accustomed to the existence of us.

Shirley Newman ran out of the department store with her maid, quickly crossed the street, and ran to Noah panting.

"How's the sales going at the counter?" Noah asked Shirley Newman impatiently.

"It's not bad. I observed there for almost an hour and sold about 30 units." Shirley Newman had some fine sweat on the tip of her nose and her face was flushed, probably from being squeezed in the crowd. It was caused by squeezing back and forth and running a short distance.

"Hey, it seems someone likes our design!" Noah cheered, and then high-fived Senior Vernon.

Senior Vernon's eyes also shone, and he said very boldly: "Of course, although the oven we made is a bit more expensive, there are 'lava surge' magic rune panels around the walls, which not only heats evenly, but also greatly It shortens the cooking time and we have been busy working on this oven all summer. Isn’t the display at the Summer Festival a success? ”

For Noah, it is very fresh and exciting that the oven he and Senior Vernon jointly designed can be sold in department stores.

Although this income is nothing to Noah, it makes him blush and look very accomplished.

Noah rubbed his hands together excitedly and said to Senior Vernon: "That's different. Before, it was just a magical concept we proposed, but now we have made this oven into a product, and the people of the Imperial City are famous for it. Picky. Originally, I thought that if this oven was not popular in the Imperial City, I would bring it back to Palestina Province and promote it in Ignace City and Galapagos City first. The oven should be very suitable for grilling seafood. I didn’t expect that the response in the Imperial City would be so good!”

I reminded me a little helplessly:

"Hey, let me tell you two... While this magic oven is selling like hotcakes, should we properly consider controlling the cost as much as possible. An oven with four 'Lava Surge' magic rune boards only costs seventy silver coins. The price is the same as those ovens with only a magic rune plate on the bottom, which is a big impact on other similar ovens on the market.”

In fact, the custom-made 'lava surge' magic rune board designed by Noah and Senior Vernon for this oven is a product of re-improvement by Yerkes scholars.

Yerkes scholars have simply optimized the magic pattern array, so these rune boards also have energy-saving magic elements in them.

The Magic Seal Workshop has specially set aside a magic engraving machine for this kind of rune board, which is specially used to print this kind of elementary 'lava surge' magic rune board.

Noah touched his nose with his finger, smiled at me and said, "We have discussed the positioning at this price before..."

At this time, Senior Vernon also put his hand on my shoulder very enthusiastically, and said to me with a smile: "Yes, I think Jijia, what you said is right, the fastest way to open up a situation in the magic market. , just let everyone be familiar with it and pay attention to it!”

I'm worried that this kind of dumping will make other rune board workshops that make magic ovens complain and lament. I've been causing a lot of smoke in the magic market recently...

Shirley Newman, who had not interrupted at the side, said at this time: "And at this price, it's not like we don't have any profit margin. At most, we can make a little less!"

Hearing Shirley Newman talk about the manufacturing cost issue, Noah reacted and asked me somewhat seriously: "Isn't it true that every time you make a 'Lava Surge', you lose some money?"

I shrugged and said, "Do you think I'm giving you money?"

"That's not true, I'm not short of money!" Noah reacted immediately and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Jijia, your rune workshop is really amazing. It has been mentioned in the magic newspapers these days. Talk about it..."

There were people coming and going on the street, and I didn't want to talk about this here, so I said, "This is not the place to talk about these things. Otherwise, let's find a place to have a drink and celebrate for Noah and Vernon. Congratulations on the first magic item you designed being so popular in the magic market!"

Noah responded positively, "Okay, why don't we go to the back street of the Pride Tower..."

We temporarily rented a magic caravan and took it back to the Royal Magic Academy. After picking up Ying Li at the academy, we rushed all the way to the back street of the Pride Tower. When Ying Li heard that we were going to the bar to drink in broad daylight, his expression looked very helpless.

As the free market on the Pride Tower Square became more and more prosperous, the back street of the Pride Tower also became lively. It has become a place for the imperial capital magicians to relax and have fun. We found a bar that was open during the day at the corner of the street and asked the coachman to stop the magic caravan on the side of the road. Under the warm reception of the bartender, we filed into the bar.

Ying Li and I were at the back, discussing quietly about the five islanders collecting magic herbs. Since the ‘hourglass of time’ can only be opened for one hour a day, and the golden thorn grass and sun grass in the magic herb plantation in the belly of the island have entered the maturity period, we have to find time to collect them. In this way, the time given to us by the ‘hourglass of time’ is not enough.

Ying Li spent more than an hour in the afternoon after school for a week to enter the herb plantation on the nameless island through the portal to collect herbs. In fact, he has already collected 14 large magic boxes. If these magic herbs are not disposed of, he will have to buy some more magic boxes.

Ying Li and I both want to refine these magic herbs into high-quality life potions through the task commission from the Magic Potion Union, or hoard them, or sell them directly to the South Wind Legion. This high-quality life potion is hard currency no matter where it goes, and no matter which legion logistics department will never have too much.

But when I got off the train, I suddenly saw a familiar figure, so I stopped and did not follow Senior Vernon into the bar in front. Instead, I turned around and looked at the bench on the street...
