177. Loneliness in a bustling world


The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly became silent, Madame Cecilia squinted her eyes, her face was red and white, she quickly lowered her head and picked up a glass of sweet wine in front of her, took a sip to hide the embarrassment in her heart, the table knife cut the cold shrimp into countless pieces in the silver plate, stabilized her mood for a while, and then raised her head to me, squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and said: "Magician Jijia, it turns out that you bought this courtyard." ”Her smile was a little bitter, a little embarrassed, a little flustered, a little weak anger, her eyelashes were long when she squinted, and her voice became a little hoarse and dry.The bitterness in that smile may be due to the confusion of the unknown life in the future, leaving the imperial capital, leaving this circle of life she knows, she is desperate for the future, she wants to make a big deal before the victory of the dimensional war, Lady Cecilia returned to the province of Aydra with all her savings, maybe she wants to form a new Constructed Knights, but in my opinion, these Constructed Knights of hers are too young, they still need to be tempered on the battlefield and baptized in blood.The embarrassment in that smile may have been caused by provoking the relationship between me and Arya, but I didn't expect that the gold lord behind Alea happened to be me, and Lady Cecilia never imagined that the magical assistant next to the Yerkis scholar would have such financial resources.She should have thought of it a long time ago, it is impossible for a noble lady like her not to read the magic newspaper, some time ago, the matter between me and Princess Qige and Princess Yingli caused the whole emperor to boil, maybe she didn't think that I was the young magician who married Qige and Yingli.The panic in her smile was because she chose the latter between the Yerkes scholar and the Dunbar knight, and Lady Cecilia was about to leave the imperial capital before she unwisely let her new love meet the Yerkis scholar, maybe this young knight would be of great help to her and her Constructed Knights in the future, but this meeting and choice erased the last trace of her in the depths of the Yerkis Scholar's heart, but the twenty sets of magic pattern structures were still in the hands of the Yerkes scholar, As a result, there was a panic on her face that could not be concealed.The weak anger is because the Dunbar knight, a young knight with a handsome appearance, smooth skin like marble, strong muscles, superb swordsmanship, and always fighting for love in his mouth, is not as he said when he is boastful, he can do not panic in the face of danger, but will naturally choose to obey in front of powerful forces, without half a point of blood.The Dunbar Knight has infinite vitality and fiery passion because of his youth, but he has not experienced the test of life and death, and he has not yet possessed the appearance of a mature man, and Lady Cecilia needs a large tree or a large umbrella to protect from the wind and rain.But all Dunbar Knight could give her was a moment of pleasure in bed.Sometimes the choice of life is to take a step forward is a clear sky, and a step back is a storm and wind.The crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the roof is swaying gently, making the shadows under people's feet sway from side to side.I said to Madame Cecilia, "This courtyard looks really nice, quiet and chic, and it is really not easy to sell such a satisfactory courtyard in the imperial capital." ”Lady Cecilia smiled reluctantly at my compliment.I asked Lady Cecilia, "It must be expensive to form a Constructed Knights, right?"

”Madame Cecilia put her hands together on the table, and said with a faint sigh, "I have already filled in all my savings, but unfortunately it is not enough, otherwise I would not have sold this courtyard." ”Arya, who was sitting next to me, put her finger into the glass of sweet wine, dipped a little blue-purple blueberry wine, quickly wrote down a set of numbers on the dining seat, and then said a set of data to me, she said: "A five-hundred-person Constructed Knights, even if you don't consider the daily expenses of the Constructed Knights for the time being, just five hundred sets of Demonic Pattern Formations will require at least sixty thousand Magic Crystals, and this can only choose those most ordinary Demonic Patterns.

Also consider the salary of each Builder, but this is only necessary to do in the beginning, and the more trouble it becomes the more you go on. ”Listening to Arya talk about such detailed data, I also secretly took a breath of cool air, if you calculate it this way, a five-hundred-person Constructed Knights needs at least 100,000 magic crystals to be formed, and then it needs a steady supply of materials, which is really a lot of money.Arya said to me: "If you can continue to win the plane war, you can recover these investments together with the profits, among them, the most profitable are still those rich plane territories, when you are lucky, you can not see an indigenous tribe with the knights across hundreds of miles of territory, occupy such a vast territory, open up logging fields, mines, hunting grounds, pastures on this land, and in a few years, there will be a steady stream of wealth recovered." ”I rarely hear anyone talk about the development of the plane, and I'm quite curious about it, especially since I took possession of the territory of a large forest and lake in the town of Tannon in the Hiero plane, and these things have gradually become my attention.Seeing that I was fascinated, Arya pursed her lips and smiled proudly before she said: "Many young wealthy nobles will have such an experience of setting up their own doors, some borrowing the knights in the family, some raising money from all sides to form a new Constructed Knights, and a dozen or so small adventurous groups improvised a knightly order, these methods are varied, but the ultimate goal is only one, to accumulate wealth and open up territory. ”When I was on the Vasqui plane, I also heard Noah talk to me about the benefits of expanding territory on the plane, but Noah was not as thorough as Arya, and it turned out that this was also a way for noble children to obtain knighthoods.Thinking of the wealth I had gained on the Vasqui plane before, which was now only enough to form a Constructed Knights, I sighed, "Even if this is the case, then the investment in the early construction of the Knights is too great!"

”Arya looked at me speechlessly and said to me: "The main reason is that the price of the magic pattern construction is too high, and it is precisely because of this that many noble and wealthy families have special inscriptions, although each inscription master is piled up with magic crystals, but once you become a Ming master, then all the efforts are worth it." ”After Arya's explanation, she suddenly felt that Lady Cecilia was really very bold this time.Scholar Yerkis finally couldn't help but ask Lady Cecilia, "How many magic crystals are missing?"

”Lady Cecilia shook her head silently, but said nothing.Arya glanced at Scholar Yerkis and asked him with a smile, "Scholar Yerkis, are these Demonic Patterns that you brought tonight going to be half sold and half given to Lady Cecilia?"

”Scholar Yerkis raised his head and put the knife in his hand on a silver platter, before he said to Arya seriously: "It is already my greatest ability to bring back these twenty sets of high-grade leather armor without missing a single piece of it. ”Lady Cecilia looked slightly moved when she heard this from the Yerkes Scholar, and she glanced at the Yerkes Scholar with gratitude.I think Lady Cecilia's grateful eyes are not only because Scholar Yerkes helped her make a complete twenty sets of magic pattern constructs, but also because Scholar Yerkis still maintains the respect she deserves for Lady Cecilia at this moment.Lady Cecilia wanted to retain the last bit of nobility dignity in front of the Jerkis scholars, and did not want to accept gifts from the Jerkes scholars.The price of an ordinary primary magic pattern construction set is about one hundred and twenty magic crystals, for the Ming master, there is a great chance of failure when making the magic pattern construction, if the success rate of making the magic pattern construction can reach about sixty percent, it can already be regarded as the master's drawing skills, if the luck is not too bad, at this time the Ming master can already make a profit, but if it is really able to make money, then the success rate of the Ming master to draw the magic pattern construction must reach at least eighty percent or more.There are very few masters who can make all the prepared leather armor into magic patterns without damage, and there will always be some failures, and these failures are the uncertainties in the hands of the masters.Therefore, many times, those noble lords would rather pay a high price for the finished magic pattern construction than take the high-grade leather armor to the Ming Master to draw the magic pattern circle on it.Lady Cecilia took out twenty sets of high-grade leather armor and asked the Yerkis scholar to draw the magic pattern structure, including ten sets of Earth Storm Bear leather armor, and ten sets of petrified lizard's hard leather armor, all of which belonged to the Three.

Although the high-end items in the Monster category are not as good as Karantso's Spider-Man Overseer hard leather armor and Katerina's Wurm Light Leather Armor, this leather is also the best choice for making primary magic pattern structures.Such a high-quality primary Demonic Pattern Construct is at least three times more valuable than an ordinary Demonic Pattern Fabric, and I guess Lady Cecilia didn't expect the Yerkis Scholar to bring back a lot of these high-grade leather armors, but now that the Yerkis Scholar said this, he undoubtedly confirmed the number of Demonic Pattern Builds brought tonight.I guess maybe just a moment ago, Lady Cecilia was still worried about how many sets of magic patterns the Yerkis Scholar would come up with tonight because of the Dunbar Knight, but she didn't think it would be a full twenty.Perhaps because of the connection with the twenty sets of magic pattern structures, several delicacies were served to the table one after another, but Madame Cecilia ate tastelessly.Finally, at the end of the dessert, the Yerkis scholar had no intention of staying on Lady Cecilia's side, so he took out twenty magic sealing boxes one after another from the magic waist bag, placed them on the open marble floor in the dining room, and opened the lids of the magic sealing boxes one by one.Lady Cecilia rose from her seat and stared at the two rows of delicate primary demonic patterns in front of her, her hands at her sides, clenched into fists."

The production cost of twenty sets of primary magic pattern constructs adds up to a total of two thousand four hundred magic crystals, don't forget to send them to the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute."

After the scholar Yerkis placed the twenty sets of demonic patterns on the ground, he said to Lady Cecilia with a calm face.Arya sat beside me, wrinkled her nose, snorted softly, and then whispered in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Take out twenty sets of high-grade leather armor, and get twenty sets of primary magic pattern constructions, or buy them at market price, this transaction will not be a loss for Cecilia." ”As Knight Dunbar and two other young knights stepped forward to examine the magical structures, the Jerkis scholar stood up and said goodbye to Lady Cecilia.I asked Arya, "Is this courtyard deal done?"

”She nodded and said, "It's done, if I hadn't heard that the Jerkes scholars and you would have come here in the evening, I'd have left with the two of them in the afternoon." ”I said, "So what are we doing here?"

Let's go together. ”So Arya took her farewell to Lady Cecilia, who led us to the door with a group of retinues, and before Arya boarded the magic caravan, she said to Lady Cecilia: "Tomorrow morning I will send someone to take over this courtyard." ”Lady Cecilia nodded slightly, and said to Arya: "I will also leave here tomorrow morning, and I will leave the rest to the butler, and after he has handed over the courtyard, I will get rid of you and help him buy a ticket to Aydra Province." ”Finally, Arya turned and stepped out of the magic caravan, hugged Lady Cecilia deeply with open arms, and said to her, "Don't worry, I'll have someone send him to the magic airship." ”Standing side by side in front of the magic caravan with Lady Cecilia, looking up at the beautiful buildings in the courtyard, Arya looked at the beautiful buildings in the courtyard and said with deep feelings: "Speaking of which, we have known each other for six or seven years, when your husband had just bought this courtyard in the imperial capital, and Colin and I attended the ball you held together, and you blatantly seduced Colin at the ball. ”Lady Cecilia actually sneered and said to Alya: "At that time, Colin was still the first heir in line to the throne of the Babington family, and he controlled the entire industrial empire of San Carlos.

Babington, Louis.

Whichever Mensa climbs, he may become the lover of the future Grand Duke, so how can I not be tempted?

”I don't know who sighed lightly.After a moment of silence, the two of them said in unison: "Time flies so fast!"

”The magic caravan slowly drove out of the courtyard that was about to belong to me, until the moment the gate closed, I could see Lady Cecilia standing on the stone steps through the gap in the railing of the gate, the bronze gate open outward, and the bright light from the door shrouded her body, and there was an indescribable loneliness.
