My Magic Age

Once a person who has completely fallen into a world of despair finds the dawn of hope, the desire for life can make him lose his mind and pursue it desperately.

Sitting on the sofa in the rest area of ​​the Yekis Laboratory, Marquis Edgar was immediately shocked when he heard the Yekis scholar asking him about the price of these magic rune plates. He gave a very fair price: a red copper mixed gold magic rune plate sold for one gold and eighty silver, which was already twenty silver cheaper than a blank mithril rune plate.

In fact, I know that the production cost of the red copper mixed gold magic rune plate is more expensive than the mithril rune plate.

Just this morning, I was still discussing this with the Yekis scholar here. He said that the plane war has seriously affected the economic system of the Green Empire. If there is no way to end it, the prices of various strategic materials will remain high. After some materials are missing, a batch of substitutes will flood into the market.

I told the Yekis scholar about the example of Lady Alia, saying that she received a business, but after signing a magic contract, she was unable to complete it. Fortunately, she found a substitute at the last minute, otherwise the price of violating the magic contract might not be as simple as bankruptcy.

I don't know what the price is from Lady Alia, but I think that Marquis Edgar will not make much profit by setting the price of the Red Copper and Gold Magic Rune Plate at such a low price.

In theory, even the Mithril Rune Plate in the Imperial Capital is out of stock, so the magic market should be a demand-side market for Mithril Rune Plates. As long as there are Mithril Rune Plates circulating in the market, they will be bought immediately. Even if the substitutes for Mithril Rune Plates in Marquis Edgar's hands are not very favored by magic merchants, they will never be dumped at a reduced price.

The more Marquis Edgar behaved like this, the more confident Scholar Yekis was. Scholar Yekis was also very familiar with the magic rune board market in the imperial capital. In the period before I came to the imperial capital, Scholar Yekis occasionally used inscription to make some money.

Although he could not engrave inscriptions on blank rune boards like those inscription masters, he often designed some low-level magic pattern array drawings suitable for drawing on rune boards and took them to magic shops for consignment, which forced him to be very familiar with the market for inscription items.

He glanced at Marquis Edgar, pursed his lips into a downward curved arc, squinted his eyes and remained silent.

An invisible pressure caused a layer of greasy sweat to appear on Marquis Edgar's forehead, and he was busy wiping it with a wet silk handkerchief.

Scholar Yekis raised a finger and said to Marquis Edgar coldly: "One gold coin, I will not pay more for this mithril rune plate substitute. What the institute needs is a blank mithril rune plate. You can consider it. If you can't accept this price, please do as you please!"

Thinking that he had pressed the rune plate to a price that Marquis Edgar could not accept, Scholar Yekis looked at me calmly. He was also very eager to communicate with me privately at this moment, because although he guessed a little of my thoughts, he didn't know what I wanted.

In fact, since the time in Lady Alia's manor, I have been standing on the opposite side of Marquis Edgar. The first impression of Marquis Edgar in my mind was the cruel and playful look on his catfish-like fat face. I couldn't get rid of the Marquis Edgar standing on the spiral staircase staring at Lady Alia drooling. The impression of him was extremely bad.

So even though I clearly wanted to buy a batch of these red copper rune plates that were embedded with the gold magic array in advance, I was reluctant to buy them.

Marquis Edgar was in a very bad mood, with a gloomy and sunny expression on his round face. When he left the Yekis Scholar Magic Laboratory, the emotional entanglement appeared on his face, and he moved his feet very slowly, as if he would be forced to agree in the next moment.

Watching Marquis Edgar disappear at the gate of the Magic Research Institute, I stood on the terrace and retracted my gaze.

Scholar Yekis asked me puzzledly: "Didn't you say in the morning that you would go to the first district to talk to the woman of the Zimmerman family about buying the red copper rune plate with the gold magic pattern? Why did you turn him away when a business came to you?"

I described to Scholar Yekis what Marquis Edgar did in Lady Alia's manor. After a short silence, Scholar Yekis opened his wise eyes, turned his eyes to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Sometimes, what you hear in your ears and see in your eyes may not be true. Only you can reveal the truth of this matter. I will study the enhanced version of the 'Demon Snake Fang' in the afternoon. Go find the answer yourself."

After that, he ignored me and returned to the laboratory alone.

In fact, I was a little suspicious of Marquis Edgar in my heart, but after Scholar Yekis reminded me of this, all kinds of discordant things were infinitely magnified.

I don't understand why a marquis has to put on a humble and submissive demeanor when facing a magician's assistant.

Normally, a person who can become a marquis must be a general with great military achievements, or he must have inherited the glory of his fathers. How could he be a magic merchant full of mercenary atmosphere?

…

I was delayed by some things and found that the time for my appointment with Lady Alia was not far away. I ran all the way down the side stairs of the Tower of Pride. I rushed out of the gate of the Tower of Pride like a whirlwind, only to find that there was a door outside. There was a sound of war horses neighing outside, and I looked out through the gap between the marble pillars at the door.

Unexpectedly, I saw a group of knights wearing neat magic pattern armor, parked in the shadow outside the corridor of the Tower of Pride. The knights on the armored horses were filled with a faint aura of killing, and their bodies were full of blood. The magic pattern of the armor is overflowing with magic, and there are still purple stains on the outer veins of the armor. I participated in the city defense battle in El City, and I know that these stains on the armor are left after being stained with blood. .

These battle-hardened construct knights have a strong aura. Just by looking at them from a distance, you can feel that they are fundamentally different from the knights in the guard camp knights. Just look at their cold gaze. The firm look in the distance showed that they were a team of Constructed Knights with a strong will to fight.

I am secretly guessing where these construct knights come from. The imperial capital is not a place where these murderous construct knights can come in casually. Even the great lords and grand dukes who are guarding various places, When he was in the imperial capital, he wouldn't have brought such an elite knight with him.

Then I noticed that what they were wearing on their chests was actually the Angel Boulder royal emblem, and I realized that they were a group of royal knights returning from the battlefield. Just when the answer in my heart was about to be revealed, I saw Wells The prince was wearing a straight military uniform, followed by four people wearing exquisite magic pattern leather. A's retinue walked up the steps. Wells had a proud look on his face. As he walked, he talked about some topics with the retinue beside him. He looked so kind and kind, without any airs of a prince, and always had a slight smile on his face. Smiling, whenever the people around him spoke, he always kept a listening attitude.

Everyone in the Tower of Pride Square stopped at this moment, and all focused their gazes on this radiant young prince.

I don’t know who shouted in the square: “It’s His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales!”

It was like a black-backed crucian carp appeared on the silent water. The entire square was like a silent pool of water, which was muddied in just a moment. From time to time, someone would cheer, and everyone's eyes would be focused on it. On Wells.

Some people began to applaud, and the applause gradually became scattered.

Cheers and applause seem to be the best gifts to welcome a returning knight.

Wells kept smiling and waved salutes to the crowd around him. The followers around him gave up their casual chatting and joking. Everyone remained alert. I felt a huge aura coming from their bodies. , it is an extremely unfathomable power, it feels like the seven knights beside the Duke of Samoyed.

At this time, I felt a shiver in my heart. I immediately knew that they were second-turn knights. I didn’t expect that Wells would be followed by four strong men.

Prince Wales, who returned to the Imperial Capital after a victory in the Warsaw plane, reported on his duties in the Floating King's City yesterday. It was said that he was dined with by Emperor Charles the Great. Today he was invited to a ball by the third prince Eric. For a time, he was considered to be unparalleled in the Imperial Capital. Two, there have been rumors that the Prince of Wales is an outstanding general among the younger generation, and is likely to be a commander-in-chief with real power like James in the future.

I had no idea that I would meet the Prince of Wales at this time.

Standing at the door of the Tower of Pride, I quickly stepped aside. He walked over amidst the cheers of the crowd, and his eyes fell on me inadvertently. The smile in his eyes gradually widened, and he stopped at the door. He looked at me with surprise, laughed and said to me: "Hi, Jijia, I didn't expect to see you here."

Without any pause, he strode towards me.

Just as I was stunned, he stretched out his hands and hugged my shoulders hard, and punched me lightly in the chest.

I thought:...when did I become so familiar with you?

However, it seemed that none of his actions were artificial, and seemed to come from the heart. I couldn't keep a stiff face, so I could only smile. I was still a little embarrassed in my heart, and said to Prince of Wales: "Hello, Your Highness, I heard that you have returned triumphantly from Warsaw."

Prince of Wales blinked at me and then said: "I also know the news about you. I heard Le Die talk about going to the Magic Academy to practice. How was it? Did you gain anything from Hierro?"

I was thinking about how to get out of this awkward conversation, so I casually responded: "It's okay! A little bit."

Prince of Wales said with joy: "My sister Ledie got a dragon egg. For me, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Ledie has changed a lot recently. I learned from other people's words I heard something about your experience, and I really want to have a chat with you! By the way, there is a dance at Eric’s castle tonight, you must come.”

Wells seemed to have remembered something and took out an invitation letter from his arms and put it into my hand. Just when I was trying to find a reason to decline him, he kindly patted my shoulder and said, He whispered in my ear: "Ying Li will also be there, but this time she can't be your female partner openly. You still need to find a dance partner to sneak in. Then we will have a good drink." !”

At this moment, he took out his pocket watch, took a look at it, and said, "Oh. I'm in a hurry, let's talk later!"

After saying that, he walked into the Tower of Pride with the four second-level warriors.

After walking out of the Tower of Pride, I looked at the invitation letter in my hand with a bit of a loss, with a faint bitter smile on my face, thinking that I really shouldn't have accepted it.

The people watching on the side looked at me at this time, and their eyes were also intertwined with jealousy and envy.

Standing on the square of the Tower of Pride, looking back at the corridor outside the fourth floor of the Tower of Pride, I saw Qi Ge standing quietly beside the stone railing and blowing the wind. The warm wind in the summer blew her long black hair flying, and there was a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were always on me.

I boarded a magic carriage on the street, and the black carriage flexibly merged into the traffic on the street.

Qi Ge's figure also became more and more blurred on the Tower of Pride.

…

I came to the beautiful and exquisite manor of Lady Alia in the first block again. Two maids were already standing by the rose bushes at the gate waiting for me quietly. When they saw me getting off the carriage, they hurried to my side, bowed their heads and knelt down to salute, and whispered: "Mage Jijia, the lady ordered us to wait for you here."

I jumped off the carriage and nodded to them.

It seems that every maid in the manor has been trained in etiquette. Whether it is standing posture, speaking tone, or behavior, it makes people feel very comfortable. Under their guidance, I walked into the manor again.

The gatekeeper was like a stone sculpture in the pavilion at the door, staring at the door with his dead fish-like eyes. If I didn't have an extremely keen sense of magic, I would never know that under such a stiff body, there should be surging power.

The square in the courtyard was still very clean, and the lawn and trees in the yard were trimmed very neatly. We walked through the straight bluestone road, passed through the castle in the manor, and entered the back garden of the manor. Lady Alia was sitting on the swing in the garden pavilion, and the swing was entangled with purple morning glories.

She was looking at the fountain in the middle of the garden and was a little fascinated until I walked into the pavilion.

There was a glass of golden apple wine on the table, and the golden wine in the bottle next to it was half empty. It looked like she really deserved to be the woman who walked out of the Zimmerman family. She was accompanied by golden apple wine all the time.

At this moment, she exuded a faint smell of loneliness.

There was no need to say, nor any action or expression to express it. Just sitting there quietly, with memories in her eyes, I could clearly feel the loneliness hidden in her heart.
