Infrastructure starts from the game

After getting the materials, Angel entered the stage of retreat.

This level is a week.

He locked himself in his room to write runes, and even had Enlis deliver his three meals to the door, and he often forgot to eat them.

Enlis was very worried about this.

"Today's dinner is ready to fry some ham. If you stay up late like that, you can't survive without meat, right?"

"Vegetables must also be available. Fortunately, I bought enough tomatoes at a reduced price last time;"

"The bread is enough, but it is too hard, and it must be accompanied by a suitable soup;"

"Actually, hot milk is the best, but Mr. Angor always forgets to eat, and it would be bad if it was left in the morning like last time;"

"Shouldn't I buy something that won't worry me if it's left cold? Sweet ale seems pretty good..."

But money is not enough!

Enlis bit her lip in distress.

The little money left in her hand was given by Angor at the beginning of the month. It was used up this month, and I don’t know where it will be next month, but Enlisi wanted to add some delicious food to Angor. Afraid of going on like this, Angel's body couldn't hold on.

But where do I get the money...

When Enlis was distressed, someone patted her heavily on the shoulder.

"Enlis, go back!"

Enlis turned her head and saw two girls standing behind her.

They are Enlis's best friends, Maya and Letty.

Among them, the one who looks gentler is Letty, and the one with fiery red hair and tomboy character is Maya.

It was Maya who patted Enlis on the shoulder just now, and now she hooked Enlis's shoulder affectionately, and cheerfully suggested: "It's so early after school today, don't rush home and be squeezed! It's been a long time since you We're out to play!"

Mr. Angle didn't squeeze me.

Still, it's not bad to do some shopping once in a while, and maybe pick up a sweet ale on sale.

Enlis thought so, and smiled bitterly at Maya: "Okay, I'll go...but you may have to wait for me, Mr. Wilson asked me to send the homework I received in the previous class."

Enlisi's grades have always been very good, so she served as a study committee member.

Her friends had long been used to such emergencies.

"Is it homework for magic class?" Liti asked, "Do you want me to help?"

"No, I've roughly collected them, just count them one last time." Enlis said.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't accept it. There are always so many magic homework. I suspect that Mr. Wilson didn't pay attention to it." Maya complained, "Besides, there are so many copying, it doesn't mean that I can use magic!"

When Enlis heard this, she couldn't help but pause when she counted the homework.

"...That, Maya, Letty." Enlis hesitated.

"what?"

"?"

"You... can, can you go to my workshop... to join us." Enlis asked with great difficulty.

Although Mr. Angor and Mr. Mithril both said that the machine in the workshop was a failure, Enlis thought that whether it was the beautiful Miss Phantom or the fact that she could control the phantom to move, it was very interesting.

Most importantly, it's a real "use of magic"!

Enlis thought her friends would be interested.

Besides, fifty cents is not very expensive.

In the currency system of the Middle Kingdom, fifty cents is the second smallest coin (the smallest coin is ten cents). According to today's prices, you can't even afford a tomato, so it shouldn't matter if you invite some friends to try it?

Maybe someone can use the "nirvana" that Mr. Angel said.

But this is the first time Enlis "uses" her friend, and she finds it very difficult to say: "There is a new magic device in the store, and it's quite fun..."

Maya and Liti glanced at each other upon hearing this.

"Is it really possible?" Liti asked as if surprised, "I haven't used real magic items yet!"

"Since it's fun, of course we're going!" Maya also said loudly.

Enlis stared blankly at her friends.

At this time, the boy sitting in the front seat suddenly turned his head: "Add me too!"

With this leader, the rest of the class joined in:

"What? Is there something fun to do?"

"It seems to say that I will go to the workshop of the study committee member to join me!"

"Ah, I'm going too!"

"And I!"

Suddenly, the whole class was mobilized.

"...Thank you!" Enlis's eyes turned red.

"Since there are so many people, hurry up and send your homework to the office!" Maya patted Enlis on the shoulder nonchalantly, "Don't make everyone wait too long."

"Thank you..." Enlis said again.

She picked up her homework and left the classroom.

"Come on!" Maya called from behind.

She watched Enlis disappear into the corridor, then turned to Liti and asked, "How much money do you have?"

"730 cents," Liti looked at her wallet, "What about you?"

"It looks like five hundred percent," Maya scratched her red hair, "Now in the middle of the month, I don't have much pocket money left."

"It's okay, let's get together!" said the children in the class, "If it's not expensive, just buy the magic item that Enlis said."

The proposal was met with mixed approval.

Maya complained: "Really, that guy Enlis, if you have difficulties at home, just tell us, so we can help! Some time ago, I asked for leave a lot, and there were rumors everywhere, I thought she was really going to be sent to orphans hospital."

"It's not a rumor either. I heard from my father that the bankruptcy of her workshop was all in the newspapers."

The children let out a sigh.

In fact, this group of children with an average age of only 12 years old does not understand what "bankruptcy" is, but simply does not want to see their classmates disappear just like that.

What's more, this is not Enlis's plight alone.

This city was known as the "Capital of Magic" in the magical age. Although not everyone in the city has magical talent, most of them are related to the magic industry such as the alchemy workshop. Therefore, in the industrial age, the entire city is declining. .

Today is Enlis, maybe tomorrow it will be me.

That's why kids feel so empathetic.

"It would be nice if we had more factories here!" a child suddenly said, "then we won't worry about running out of money."

"I don't have to stop going to school. I heard that they even want children younger than us!"

"Yeah, even if you learn magic, it's useless now!"

"Our magic class here is still very long!"

Innocent children don't know that what they dream of is what will destroy them.

"Enliss, why doesn't your boss rent out the store? It looks like it can be exchanged for a lot of money."

Standing in front of the magic gear alchemy workshop, Maya couldn't help asking.

The workshop's storefront, a nine-storey building from the magical age that looks no less impressive even in the industrial age, is awe-inspiring as long as you walk down the street.

Even a child can tell that this building is worth a fortune.

In fact, if Enlis hadn't actively invited them, the other children would not have approached here at all, as if they would be chased away by the uniformed guards.

"...It seems that the ancestors of the workshop signed a magic contract." Enlis said uncertainly.

She had heard about this matter—her former guardian wanted to rent out or even sell the entire workshop when the business was not doing well, so she complained almost every day.

"The contract stipulates that the owner of the workshop cannot rent or sell the workshop for profit in various ways."

This contract was obviously prepared by the first owner of the workshop to prevent unworthy descendants, but he obviously did not foresee that his descendants would be made worthless.

The children are not surprised, this is very common in the city of Cecilia:

"Magic contract, then there is no way."

"It's not just a magic contract, it should be said that the old man is very stubborn!"

"My grandfather, too, said that there are no more adventurers now, and he is still unwilling to change our family's weapon shop."

"Hee hee, isn't the Adventurer's Guild still open?"

There are various antiques from the magical era left in this city, half dead.

The children didn't understand the value of antiques, nor were they interested in learning about them. They followed Enlis into a building that they didn't usually dare to approach easily, and then they were stunned.

so high!so big!

It's a bit dated, but it's spectacular!

Even the pillars on the zenith are carved with flowers, like a palace!

After all, the magic gear is one of the most famous alchemy workshops in the magic age, and it is only natural to shock a group of children.

So they hardly noticed that the walls of this "palace" were peeling off badly, and the carpet was also very old. Although Enlis tried to clean it, the wool on the carpet had almost fallen out, and the hall was slightly The valuable furniture and furnishings were even sold out, only the old counter and the table delivered last time were left alone.

Enlisi led the students to the front of the table:

"This is what I call a magic item, uh..." What's this called?

Mr. Angle seems to have given it a very strange name.

When Enlis got nervous, she forgot the title of "arcade machine". She gave up the name and said, "It's... a game table."

"Wow, that's amazing!" exclaimed the children.

Although it looks like a table no matter how you look at it, since it can be placed in a "palace", it must not be an ordinary table!

Maya whispered to Liti nervously: "It looks so expensive here, what if we can't afford it?"

"If it doesn't work, just leave the money secretly on the counter!" Liti suggested.

Maya nodded, and then looked at Enlis, still a little unsure: "Enlis, how much is this table?"

"Ah, the table itself is not for sale, it is for games." Enlis replied blankly.

"Game?" The other children showed strange expressions.

"Ah, I see, is it playing cards on it? My neighbor's card room charges like this, five hundred per day," a child said cleverly, "However, there are no chairs here! You have to stand up to play ?"

"No, it's not playing cards," Enliss shook her head. Seeing everyone's inexplicable expressions, she took out her wallet, "Let me demonstrate..."

"I'm coming! Since I'm here to support you, there's no reason to ask you to pay," Maya hurriedly stopped Enlisi: "How much?"

"Fifty centimeters a time."

"Fifty per cent?" Maya paused. She frowned and looked at Enliss. "It's almost free, right? Why are you being so polite to us? You can pay whatever price you want!"

"But, Mr. Angel's price is [-]% per time!" Enliss said.

Maya stared at Enlis for a while, making sure that the other party was not lying, and then took out a [-]% coin in doubt: "Do you want to make money in this way?"

However, many students present showed expressions of relief.

Although they planned to donate to Enlis from the beginning, it was still their own pocket money, so it still hurt a little.

Fifty cents doesn't matter, it costs one hundred cents to throw a coin into the wishing pool in the center of the city!Throwing it to Enliss is regarded as worshiping the god of learning, and the next time you do well in the exam, you will save one beating!

And you can play with magic props once for [-] cents, which makes me feel like I'm making a lot of money.

"How to play?" Maya handed the coin to Enlis.

Enliss didn't answer, just pointed to the groove beside the table like Angel said: "Just put the money in here."

"so?"

Maya felt more and more like making a wish.

And as she put in the coin, the table lit up.

However, the difference is that there is no beautiful girl on the desktop, but lush pine trees "grow" from the desktop, instantly turning the desktop into a forest, and then, snowflakes fall from the sky, covering the On the tiny miniature forest, the whole scene is rendered as snow-white.

On this piece of white snow, small stars slowly drift down like snowflakes, like steps to the sky, and a little white reindeer with a light blue snowflake pattern on its back is bouncing away from the forest Come out and look up at the stars.

"It's so cute!" the children exclaimed.

Maya grabbed Enlis's sleeve nervously: "What should I do next? Make a wish? Can this little deer fulfill my wish!"
