I don't know when it started, it began to drizzle in the sky, and the rain and fog that drifted around with the wind would soon make the clothes on the body very damp, and even the hair was stained by those thick water mist into locks, and Karantso instructed the orc warriors to hurriedly put away the leather that was hanging in the yard.The magic wall lamps on both sides of the street glow dimly under the shadow of rain and mist.Watching the two of them slowly disappear to the end of the quiet alley, I thought: Brandon and Felix finally stretched their brows, and they should be able to give you a more satisfactory answer to the nobles who had asked them to come and inquire about the news by their friendship.Karantso took off his crust half-coat and wore only an off-the-shoulder, sleeveless linen vest, and bent over to lay a dry quilt on the wooden bed in the bedroom.I don't know what kind of agreement she and Caterina have, but it seems that the two of them have a silent tacit understanding that they will never appear in front of me at the same time in private, they are responsible for taking care of my food and daily life, but they do their own duties.Sitting on the chair by the window, I suddenly remembered the knight of Disraeli, and I don't know how he was feeling at this moment.Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit, dancing happily in the courtyard, although she has not awakened, but the speed of growth is getting faster and faster, and her learning ability is becoming stronger and stronger, I am afraid that she will suddenly awaken one day, have primary wisdom, and then erase the memory fragments in the soul in the depths of the body, that is the last thing I want to see.However, now I can only watch her grow in front of me, and I can't do anything.Thinking of these things on the Hiero plane, it can be regarded as coming to an end, but I don't know what kind of reward the Duke will give me.According to my plan and Kige's plan, of course, we want to use these feats in exchange for a higher title, at least to become an earl, so that we can compete fairly with the Prince of Wales, otherwise in my current status, if the Prince of Wales knows that I am his rival, he only needs to use his identity and the privilege of the upper nobles of the Green Empire over the lower nobles, and he can play a trick on me.But if you want to become an earl, it is not a simple matter, not only need to have enough merit, but also have enough land equal to the status of the earl, at least a manor as large as Duke Zimmermann, and a private territory the size of a small town, and can have a cavalry composed of followers and followers.It can be said that the earl is like the mayor of the town, but the power he can exercise is much greater than that of the town, just like the emperor of a small town, and he can legally establish his own army.Perhaps the feats we have achieved in the Hierro plane are enough for me to be promoted to an earl, but I don't have so much private land, originally these lands need me to take my followers, in some of the rich planes that are still burning with war, through one war after another, through the war to fight for themselves, those new territories will be opened up, the real owner of the plane, the Duke of Samoyed, one-third, and the Emperor of the Grimm Empire, His Majesty Charles the Great, one-third, and the rest belong to the pioneers themselves.Obviously, I don't have time to fight in these rich planes, but I need a land of my own, so that I can become a true earl.So everything Kig and I did today was bait for the nobles of Tanton City, we wanted those fish to run away and chase after themselves, and obviously we had a perfect start to this first step.Karantso pressed her hands on my shoulders and pinched my stiff back, and the hair on her head rubbed against my face, and it tickled at this moment.Having her by my side can make me relax, and no one who has ever seen her fighting on the battlefield definitely doesn't know what kind of explosiveness her arms have.Recently, I have discovered that she has become more and more feminine, and it is difficult for me to think that an orc warrior can do such things.I only heard her say: "Do you want to sleep for a while, Caterina just said that Miss Qige still needs to prepare for two hours, the ice attribute mana contained in the winter thorn grass is extremely unstable, and there are some small troubles in the configuration of the falling snow ink!"
”For a young scholar of herbology and magic like Qige who can gain a foothold in the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, there will be no trouble at all in preparing simple magic ink, and their control of the attributes of magic herbs has completely reached the expert level.If Zig had asked Caterina to come and inform us of this, it would have been a minor nuisance.Thinking of this, a cold air ran down my spine, and I didn't know what Qige was up to in the falling snow ink.Although I was a little apprehensive in my heart, I could only stabilize Karantso's mood and said to her: "It's okay, help me get those peeled skins first, we need to quickly cut them into a foot square of blank magic paper, you don't know Qige, she works like a madman, and when she says it's ready, we want to cut the skins of these swamp crocodiles, it's too late." ”Karantso was of course obedient to me, and when I said this, he hurriedly went to the drying rack outside and brought in a few crocodile skins that had not been completely dried, and spread them on the writing desk.It was pitch black outside the window, and the snoring of orc warriors could be heard in the side room.Karanco reached out and removed the magic lampshade from the desk to make the room brighter, and the soft light reflected on her wheat-colored and satin-smooth skin, shining delicately, and her face showed a faint maternal glow, and those eyes were full of tenderness.At this moment, I actually felt a kind of resonance with her in my heart, and it was like building a bridge between our hearts, and I clearly felt what she was thinking, and she also looked at me with wide eyes in horror, as if something incredible had happened.What poured out of her was the deep longing and concern for little Ella, which made me realize that we had been away from the imperial capital for at least a month, and it was really a bit irresponsible for us to take a little orc girl who had never left her mother out of the orc village, and then leave her in the imperial capital at will.Miss Qi didn't make us wait too long, and the first bottle of snow ink that was sent was a bottle of ink overflowing from ice magic elements.
When I entered the inkwell, I could clearly feel the sound of the tip of the pen being frozen inside the inkwell, and I hurriedly injected a trace of magic power, so that the snow ink in the inkwell turned into a liquid state, took a deep breath, and held the magic carving pen like a snake dancing dragon swimming, on the skin of the swamp giant crocodile as thin as a cicada's wings, along the traces of dark lines, quickly drew a magic pattern array.Those magic lines appeared in front of me one by one, I had to continue to output mana, to keep the ink on the tip of the pen from condensing into ice, and to maintain a stable output of mana, leading those inks into the crocodile skin magic paper, a pair of frost nova magic scrolls gradually appeared in front of me, among those lines, there was an extremely cold aura.I don't know what method Qi Ge used to make all the ice attribute mana of the Winter Thorn Grass be stimulated.It didn't take long for a slightly enhanced version of the Frost Nova scroll to be successfully drawn, and then the scroll was skillfully tied up with maran grass leaves, so that an ice attribute scroll drawn from water-based Warcraft leather has a good magic attribute, and this magic paper made of water-attribute Warcraft leather is originally more powerful than ordinary magic paper, and the ink used is improved, and this magic scroll is full of rich ice attribute magic atmosphere.Even without using it, I know that this is a perfect Frost Nova scroll, and that this scroll is extremely lightweight, only the thickness of a thumb, like the thinnest scroll.This.
At night, I'm almost always making this magic scroll.At ten o'clock in the morning, Miss Qi waited for the dark circles under her eyes to come to my room, glanced at me, and then pulled Caterina, who was also dozing, back to her room to catch up on sleep, but I continued to concentrate on drawing the magic scroll.When I woke up, it was already afternoon.I sat up from my bed groggily, there was a noise in the yard, I jumped barefoot to the floor, ran to the window in a few steps, pushed open the stained glass window, and leaned out to look out.I saw that the courtyard was full of people, to be precise, the long wooden chairs should be full of nobles from the city, these nobles had different expressions, some with satisfaction, some with deep remorse, some with anticipation in their eyes, some with beads of sweat on their foreheads, and anxious on their faces.These people dressed in aristocratic dresses gathered in the courtyard, and for a time the courtyard was noisy like a vegetable market, and those sounds reached my ears, which made me a little inexplicably irritable, but when Kige, who was standing in front of the railing, heard the sound of the window, and looked back and saw me awake, he immediately turned his head and said to me with joy: "Oh, Jiga, you really didn't wake up at the right time, our auction is about to end." ”I hadn't woken up a little yet, and asked Kig in a bit of a daze, "Auction?"
What are we going to auction?
Aren't we planning to use some Dark Crystals to buy some of the magic materials we need?
”Kige narrowed his eyes and explained to me, "That's why we're going to auction off the Black Crystal!"
As for what they want to buy, as long as it's not gold and silver, everything else is fine, it can be a commodity that they think is equivalent to the Black Magic Crystal, how about it, isn't it interesting?
”"This is truly a unique auction!"
I smiled at Kig, then casually closed the window, quickly put on my magic robes, and appeared in the courtyard.Having lost the shackles of traditional etiquette, Kige began to do whatever she wanted, and she always had some new ideas of her own.Pushing open the door and walking out, I saw a dozen orc warriors wearing leather armor to maintain law and order around the courtyard, but their role was basically decoration, they were more like bronze statues, motionless next to the stone pillars, not smiling, glaring at all the people in the courtyard with big cloudy eyes.Karantso and Katerina were beside the pile of goods, sorting through the mountains of various boxes containing magical materials.There were many kinds of magical materials, but after Takama and Karantso carefully screened them, they were divided into several categories and placed under their own roofs very casually.Of course, from the time they opened the box and examined the magic materials inside, the most harvested were the leather of the swamp giant crocodile and the magical herb winter thorn grass, which could almost be regarded as Trum's specialties.These magic items are also mixed with some so-called high-quality magic materials, such as I happened to see Karantso turn over a fist-sized piece of pure gold in a magic sealing box, turn out five metal runes made of Mithril one foot square in a very heavy magic sealing box, and even turn out a box containing a golden ginseng.I was a little dumbfounded, and I didn't know how many black magic crystals Qi Ge used in exchange for so many magic materials, but it seems that Qi Ge doesn't have too many black magic crystals in his hand, and most of the black magic crystals are currently in my magic waist bag.Dressed in a long white dress, Caterina stood in front of an auction table in the doorway, and placed five black crystals on a tray.She smiled at the noble lords in the courtyard who were waiting a little impatiently, and then said: "The following group of black magic crystals, a total of five pieces, the same category is not limited, as long as it is a rare magic material, everyone has a chance, please write the magic materials to be exchanged with us on the parchment, and after a minute, I will ask the waiter to take the parchment back." ”Caterina was very beautiful, and her voice was very soft, so she said to the nobles slowly: "Everyone, I will choose a piece of parchment that I think best meets our current needs, as the successful object of this transaction, and then publicly announce the exchange materials written on this parchment, and publicly announce the names and quantities of the materials we exchanged during this transaction." ”Many nobles in the audience, some were happy and some were sad, and when they heard Caterina finish speaking, almost half of the nobles began to bow their heads and write on the parchment.Takama and Karantso then become the waiters who receive the parchment notes, gathering together all the notes written by the nobles who wanted to trade the Dark Crystals, and finally sending them to Kig to decide who to choose.At this time, Qige saw me walk out of the room, and hurriedly beckoned me to come over, and chose the transaction party with her.
