The storekeeper in the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute was silent, standing at the door of the empty warehouse, his face was pale with fright, watching Qige walk out of the warehouse door angrily, only then did he finally exhale the last breath held in his heart, and sat on the ground with a collapsed body.He gave me a grateful look as I passed by the door of the warehouse, but could not say anything.I walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned and walked back, crouched beside him and asked, "What is it that makes Kige lose his temper so much?"
”The storekeeper looked at the empty warehouse with a bitter face, and let out a long sigh: "The share of magic herbs that belonged to Master Qige was taken away by other scholars, and now Lord Qige has come to receive her share of magic herbs, and we can't take out any magic herbs here in the warehouse!"
”"Isn't there anything good about the logistics department?"
I asked tentatively."
The various provinces have completely cut off the channels for sending magical herbs to the imperial capital as early as a month ago, and this time, the herbs taken away by the scholars in the research institute are the magical herbs that were transported back from the Pai Plateau half a month ago."
The storekeeper was ashamed to say the truth.I reached out and patted him on the shoulder, trying to say something comforting, but I couldn't find the right words.I said to him, "It's okay, I'll go see Miss Kiger, maybe she'll be deflated in a moment, but you guys are a little too much, I'll report this to Vice Dean Bruce" The storekeeper sat down on the ground with his head down, and didn't bother with me.Even I don't know why Qige is so angry, it is said that a batch of magic herbs was used by other scholars first, although this is a bit bloody, but if it is really investigated, it seems that those scholars are not too much at fault, Qige's actions inevitably seem a little excessive.But as a friend, I'll stand firmly on her side, whether she's right or wrong.Walking through the vaulted marble cloister, Kig sat on a bench in the courtyard garden, quietly looking up at the tall dome of the Academy of Magic, which shone with moonstones and sparkling stars.The magic fountain in the courtyard shoots out a column of clear water upwards, this exquisite artistic stone sculpture can be seen everywhere in the courtyard of the institute, each stone sculpture is unique, quietly look at those stone carvings, you will always see the ingenuity of the master carver.The low shrub wall on the side is neatly manicured, and the garden is filled with the smell of hibiscus flowers.The lizard-maid Takama sat on the stone pier, and by the fine stone table beside her, she was writing on a piece of magical parchment, and by the time I arrived, she had dried the quill in her hand, put it in her pocket, and then blew on the undried parchment and showed it to Kig.Kig took a magic seal from his bosom, lightly stamped a red seal on the parchment, and waved impatiently at Takama.Takama quickly rolled the parchment into a scroll, tied it with a rope, turned and walked out.As she passed me, she nodded her head at me, and I immediately understood what she was going to say to me in her golden eyes, and she was signaling that I was going to leave for a while, so that I could soothe and take care of Kige, who was still angry.At this time, I realized that the golden eyes of the lizard maid Takama could also convey the message she wanted to convey very clearly, her eyes were not only cold eyes, as long as she wanted, in fact, her golden eyes had a strange beauty.I followed Kig back to her lab, closed the door to the lab, and I couldn't help but ask her, "What happened?"
Is it worth making you so angry?
”She shook her head slightly, struggled inwardly for a moment, then stared at me and said, "If I do something that makes you unhappy, you can't ignore me." ”Only the words of the wayward Miss Qi can be so unreasonable, but I nodded and agreed without hesitation.I don't know where this blind trust in Kig comes from, but the moment she spoke, I agreed for no reason."
Yes!"
When Kige saw that I had made such a decisive commitment to her, her eyes were a little red, and the gaze in her eyes softened.Zig hesitated, but picked up a letter from the front of the test bench, which was a piece of stationery with a golden silk pattern on it, and the top of the letter was printed with the coat of arms of the Angel Bolder family.At this moment, I suddenly understood what Qige called me unhappy.My mood at the moment was extremely complicated, and it was obvious that I had a letter from the Prince of Wales to his fiancée, Kige, and for me I was very keen to see the contents of the letter.But I thought it was Kigg's privacy, and I hesitated, trying to resist the urge to take the letter.Gentle arms wrapped around me from behind me, wrapping me tightly in her arms, the warm and fragrant breath gently blew through my ears, the smell of Qige made me a little dizzy, my hand pressed her snow-white arm, but I didn't dare to make more movements.In this secluded laboratory, Takama was not around, and I had no resistance to the warm embrace of Kige, just a hug from behind made the last embankment in my heart completely collapse.There was no need for Kig to explain anything to me, some explanations didn't need to be said at all, and she told me her mind with her actions at this moment.I unfolded it and read the letter: light smoke waving its wings, the bird of Icarus, flying upwards and dissolving its feathers.Quiet larks, messengers of dawn, hover over the imperial capital, overlooking your island in the middle of the lake.Or maybe it's a lost dream, and the figure of midnight is closing the corners of your skirt.The night obscures the stars, and the day obscures the sky and the sun.I turned my head to look at Kig who rested her chin on my shoulder, and the corners of her eyes swept down slightly, although I thought it should be her who was weak at the moment, but in the face of the queen's contempt, it was me who turned my head in a panic, and I seemed to feel the smile on her face without looking.I can't imagine how the Prince of Wales would feel if he knew that I was in his fiancée's arms at the moment, looking at his love letters, and would have thrown white gloves at me.Feeling the urging of Kig's eyes, I continued to read the letter from the Prince of Wales to Kig: the smoke of war has not yet dissipated, and dawn has come.It is only at nightfall, when the horses have stopped and burrowed into the cold tents, that I have time to write to you.The war on the Warsaw Plane has spread to the banks of the Kempato River, and this is our last line of defense, where our Knights will fight the final battle against the demon legions in the Hell, and the war here is not optimistic.The knights are very brave, but people are injured every day, and the priests of the temple refuse to participate in this fight against the dark forces of the Abyss, leaving us with a reserve of healing potions, dear Kige, I would be grateful if you could help me raise another batch of healing potions.Oh yes!
The potions I brought with me on the battlefield were of great help to my army, and I won three victories in Kempato with them.On the day of my return to the Imperial Capital, I will bring you the glory of these victories.Handwritten by Wales.No wonder Kig is so desperate to need a batch of magic herbs, and can't wait to use the airship to transport it from the Pai Plateau again, this letter to Kig is very special, the front is more like a love letter, and later wrote some words asking for help, probably because the Prince of Wales knows Kig very well, and what can make Kig serious is precisely the few sentences that ask for help later.I scratched my messy hair, folded the letter again, and put it back on her test bench.There were a lot of bottles and jars on the test bench, beakers, test tubes, some crooked glass tubes, and some bottles filled with various solutions, which looked messy, and behind the test bench against the wall, there were also large shelves ten meters long, and the whole shelf was also full of various jars, this was a magical apothecary's room.Holding his chin in one hand and his elbow in the other, he leaned against the windowsill, and seeing that I did not have any unhappy expression, he said to me: "That batch of herbs was originally intended for Wales, but it was stolen by those damn greedy fellows, damn it, if you dare to touch the herbs I have stored in the storehouse, I must give them back a little color." ”Suddenly, I had in my mind two magicians tearing each other apart in the research institute over some low-level magical herbs.This should be a struggle between the petty traders in the magical materials market, and this kind of image should never be in the research institute.I said to Kige, "I'll prepare those magic herbs for you as soon as possible." ”After saying this, I always felt a little awkward in my heart, the man on the battlefield is my rival, the biggest mountain between me and Qige, I hope he can die on the battlefield than he can return triumphantly, I don't tie the straw man, using the curse of the wizard to curse his death already shows that I am very merciful, at this time, I actually want me to contribute a lot of magic herbs, I really can't describe my tangled mood at the moment."
I was hoping to use those magical herbs to make a batch of healing potions and give him a bigger victory, so that at least I feel less guilty, and maybe he will become a valiant commander like Prince James in the future," said Kiger.It would be better to have an elven princess marry him as Lady Manda married Prince James, so that there might be less resistance when I break off my engagement with him. ”That's what Kig thought.Later, Kige said a lot, and of course it also involved some shady things in the royal family.I can understand why Qige is so angry, behind this matter is actually involved in some things in the royal family, Charles the Great is now in the prime of life, and his strength is also at its peak, so that the major forces hidden behind those princes began to plan for the throne, and also extended their hands to the Prince of Wales.In fact, if it is in normal times, this is not a big deal, the magic herbs consumed in the magic research institute every day are also a very large expense, many times, when some scholars are in a hurry to use a certain magic herb, they will also overdraft the magic grass belonging to other scholars in advance, and then the logistics department will quickly replenish it from the magic material trading hall on the first floor.Because they are all doing some magic research, no matter how difficult it is on the warehouse management side, those scholars who want to overdraft to receive herbs, every magic apothecary will implicate a huge family behind them, and in the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, these potions masters are people with deep backgrounds, and it is precisely for this reason that no one in the warehouse manager dares to easily offend.However, in such a period of shortage of magical herbs, the planes controlled by those wealthy nobles were in constant war, and the huge casualties in the army made the healing potions directly out of stock, and after a series of chain reactions, the magic herbs were also purchased out of the market, and the production areas of these herbs began to limit the output of magical herbs, which suddenly made the Grimm Empire fall into a crisis of running out of magical herbs.This batch of magic herbs was set before Qige participated in the experience of the Royal Academy of Magic, and the airship belonging to the family brought back a batch of low-level magic herbs from the orc tribe of the Pai Plateau, most of which were hemostatic herbs for making healing potions, and Qige's request for the magic research institute was to leave one-third of the magic grass for himself, and the rest of the magic grass could be provided to the rest of the magic scholars for magic experiments and research.The magicians in the research institute actually emptied all the herbs in the warehouse, and when Kig returned, they were unable to replenish the empty magic herbs, which detonated Rikige's anger."
Would you like to give Wales a box of our powerful troll potions?"
I had an idea and said to Kige, "Pair it with a few boxes of healing potions, so that he can win." ”Since someone doesn't want the Prince of Wales to win that much, we're going to help him get a big victory.Qige's eyes lit up, and he also remembered the previous collection of a batch of dragon's blood grass on the Hiero plane, which had been refined into a powerful troll potion, which was much more powerful than the Lion King's power potion."
You can also take out some magic catalytic scrolls and frost nova scrolls, he won't have no magicians in his order, right?"
I continued.Kig looked at me repeatedly with a strange look, made sure I wasn't talking nonsense, squinted his eyes like a fox, and said, "Several of his followers are magicians!"
