The magic caravan took the Yerkes scholar around the corner and merged into Yulin Street, where it quickly vanished.The Yerkes scholar rode alone in the magic caravan back to the apartment, and I was going back to the rented house, so our magic caravan drove out of the alley of Lady Cecilia's courtyard and went our separate ways.I rode in a magic caravan with Arya, Katerina, Karantso, and Arya's personal maid, Betty, and ten orc warriors followed us in another magic caravan, and the two magic caravans sped in the direction of the rented house.The light in the carriage was very soft, I sat on the soft leather sofa at the front of the carriage with Caterina and Arya, the sofa had a unique smell of leather, Arya was wearing a gorgeous court-style dress, the big skirt spread on the sofa like a blooming flower, in order to avoid crumpling her long skirt, I leaned on Katarina's soft body, she was wearing a plain dress, her hands wrapped around my left arm, her plump and firm breasts were close to me, making my breathing quicker.Karantso and Betty, the maid, sat across from us, and Karantso squinted as if asleep.Arya lifted the hem of the cumbersome long skirt, lifted her feet, and asked Betty to help her take off the crystal sandals, the thin leather straps on the shoes made several red marks on her snow-white ankles, she hunched over and stretched out her hand to gently rub the bruises, it seemed that she must have walked a lot during the day, she turned her head and asked me, "Those orc warriors in the back, have you been with you for a long time?"
”Hearing Arya and I talk about these orc warriors, I thought about it in my heart.At this time, I realized that in fact, Arya has been integrated into my life, and every bit of my life has entered her sight, so I feel that these things can't be hidden anyway, so it is better to say it generously at this time."
Yes."
I nodded slightly, and admitted, "It's been about three years." ”Arya narrowed her big sexy eyes and said to me, "Can you tell me how you met them?"
”Caterina beside her also held her breath at this time, and her eyes fell on me, and she was also very curious about my past in the city of El.I rubbed my hands on my temples to let my thoughts flow into the memories, and I said, "I remember the first time I met them, I was still living in the city of El.At that time, they were not orc warriors, these orcs were doing hard labor in the coal yards of El City, and their daily task was to transport briquettes to El City, and they were also night watchmen in the winter season, these orcs had to go to the streets to light the street lamps when it was dark, and before dawn, they had to extinguish the street lights one by one, and finally they had to transport the garbage from the city outside the city, so that they could earn a meager income, which was not even enough for their usual three meals a day.In the North, it is common for poor orcs to be caught in such a predicament, they are not slaves, they can only be considered poor. ”Arya's eyes lit up slightly, and she asked me, "You helped them?"
”"I bought their female leader and her beautiful daughter."
I smiled and looked at Karantso and said to Arya.Karantso's face was flushed, and she tried to pull her collar to cover the brass collar around her neck, but she was wearing only a plain dress with a V-neckline, and the yellow-orange-orange slave collar with no inscription was very conspicuously looped around her neck, and she reached for her neck and glared at me hard.Arya didn't look at Karantso, who was slightly embarrassed, but asked me, "Ella can't be the pretty daughter of the orc leader, right?"
”I smiled and said, "If it's not her, who else could it be?"
”Karantso raised his foot and kicked me gently, straightened his face, and whispered to me, "Don't remember my sad past, I don't remember many things for a long time. ”"Okay, let's not talk about that."
I saw that Karantso was reluctant to bring up the past, so I changed the subject and asked Arya, "Arya, how is the exhaust fan business lately?"
”She gathered the scattered hair around her ears, and then said indifferently: "It's okay, it's not as popular as the previous two months, and sales have been declining, but the business of the Ni Magic Rune Workshop is still quite hot, and there are too many orders to receive recently" In the free market on the Square of the Tower of Pride, I have seen several different styles of exhaust fans, and found that these exhaust fans are not the styles produced in our workshop, and since then I realized that the imperial capital market of exhaust fans is being eaten away by people little by little.So, I asked Arya, "The orders received by the workshop are basically for magic rune plate blanks, right?"
”Arya showed a hint of helplessness and said to me: "We have the recipe for the Adamantite Solution, but this is not enough to control the processing of the metal rune plate, and the most critical step of drawing the Magic Pattern Circle is always in the hands of those many junior masters, and we can't monopolize this part of the market." ”She continued: "At the beginning of the period, the exhaust fan was sold very hot in the imperial capital, in order to ensure the output of the exhaust fan, I forced Nick to increase the output of the magic rune plate blank, at that time there was already a blank copper rune plate into the magic market, to now, we can not control the blank copper rune plate into the magic market, simply let Nick increase the output to the maximum, now the market sells a variety of exhaust fans, if you distinguish from the exhaust fan shell, it can be roughly divided into wood products, Stone products, metal products, our exhaust fans are not dominant in the market. ”Arya said the current situation of the magic rune workshop, and sure enough, the current rune workshop is relying on the processing of the red copper rune plate with pure gold magic patterns to maintain the status quo, and now the steady stream of orders is affected by the temporary shutdown of the Mithril mines in the major planes.She said: "Before the Mithril ore pours into the imperial capital, our magic rune board workshop will have a good time, but I don't support Nick's expansion of the new magic rune board workshop, the manufacturing cost of the Adamantite magic pattern is a lot higher than the Mithril rune plate after all, once the plane war situation improves, the lords of the major planes will resume mine production as soon as possible, once a large amount of Mithril is mined, our rune plate workshop will have to choose some new ways out." ”When Arya was in the Babington family, she was in charge of managing the blank magic rune market in the imperial capital, and she was very familiar with this industry, and bluntly said that the future of our rune workshop was worrying.I scratched my head and said, "In the final analysis, it's because the most important link of the metal rune plate is in the hands of those inscription masters in the imperial capital, and they control the subsequent flow of the metal rune plate, if you can solve the problem of magic engraving, these things will be solved!"
”Speaking of which, I remembered the Hextech drawings again, and I had to think of a good way to translate the goblin characters on it."
Did you find any good solutions?"
Arya asked me.I smiled wryly and whispered, "Still looking" At this time, Arya placed a contract scroll of magic parchment on the square table in the carriage of the magic caravan, and next to it was a book stamped with red clay seals.I pointed to the two parchment scrolls and asked Arya, "What is this?"
”"Lady Cecilia's courtyard title deeds and magical deeds."
Arya said with a smile.She unfolded the magic contract scroll, with Lady Cecilia's autograph and her personal seal on it, and she pushed two more scrolls in front of me, and asked me with a smile, "How do you want to thank me for helping you buy such a quiet and elegant courtyard?"
”In the imperial capital, each courtyard has a title deed issued by the town hall.At the time of the real estate transaction, it is necessary to go to the city hall to make an appointment with a tax officer, under his supervision, the two parties to the transaction sign and stamp a magic contract, and the buyer pays the tax officer three thousandths of the tax, which is considered to be the completion of the real estate transaction, and then the seller has to move out of the house according to the agreed date, and this matter has been taken care of by Arya during the day.I couldn't figure out what special I should give her, so I asked her, "What kind of gift do you want?"
”Arya put her index finger to her lips, tilted it slightly, and then said to me, "Let me think about it, and I'll tell you when I'm done." ”She smiled very charmingly, her eyes were like two crescents, and at this time, she suddenly asked me, "Hey, after becoming a junior master, have you ever thought about customizing some magic pattern constructs for those orc warriors of yours?"
”I really hadn't really thought about it before, and I smiled and said, "An orc warrior in a demonic pattern?
No, no, no, the orc tribes of the Pai Plateau don't have magic pattern construction, only the shamans of the tribe tattoo some totem patterns on their bodies, they use this to gain the power of totem, they are fighting with the power of their ancestors, they don't need magic pattern construction. ”Arya frowned, and asked me bluntly, "Where do you go to find the shaman to tattoo the power of the totem for your orc warrior here in the imperial capital?"
”I was a little speechless for a moment when I was asked by Arya, I really didn't want to give these orc warriors the power of the totem tattoo, they only have the totem ornament tattooed a long time ago when they were in the tribe."
Also, I wonder if the totemic power of these orc warriors conflicts with the magic pattern construction?"
Arya asked me again."
That's not true, you mean to have all the orc warriors wear a magical pattern to fight?"
It was only then that I heard some clues from her words.She had seen the ten orc warriors who were following Karantso during the day, so she thought of matching them with magical patterns.Arya asked me, "You never thought of creating a Constructed Order of your own?"
”Arya's words were like a pebble thrown into the water of the pool, causing ripples in my heart.Previously, because of the high manufacturing cost of the Demon Pattern Structure, I never dared to think about it, but now that this matter has been brought up by Arya, I found that the question raised by Aliya really needs to be seriously considered.Speaking of which, the orc warriors are born as human beings in terms of physique and strength, but the human empire and the orc tribe have taken advantage in several confrontations, and the reason is that the imperial army has a powerful and irresistible knight order, and the werewolf cavalry of the orc tribe is weaker than the knight after all, so for so many years, the orc tribe has been suppressed in the wasteland of the Pai Plateau.Of course, orc warriors who have reached a turn of strength can also obtain the totemic war tattoos tattooed on the body of the shaman priest of the tribe, and these tattoos will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the orc warriors.However, after the human warrior reaches the second turn, he will also have a magic pattern on his body, so in this regard, the orc warrior will inevitably fall behind."
In that case, the orc warriors have innate advantages in physique and strength, and there is nothing wrong with letting them wear heavy armor, otherwise you should buy some hardskin armor that is biased towards defense first, and give it a try?"
I felt the need to give it a try as Arya suggested, so I said so.I thought about the ten Earth Shield Armor builds I had sold to Louis earlier, and I said to Arya, "By the way, we can buy the Demon General's armor in the market, and I did this type of Devil Pattern Builds before. ”Seeing that I accepted her proposal, Arya offered to ask, "Do you need to buy the Demon General's hard leather armor?"
I'll take care of that. ”Back to the rented house, it was late.Ruka, the minotaur who was lying in the pergola counting the stars, saw me return with ten orc warriors and asked me in amazement, "What happened?"
”He crouched in front of me so that he could look directly at me, and I patted the thick shoulder of the minotaur, then sat down on his big bed, smiled at him and said, "Ruka, I bought a big house, and we are about to move." ”"Oh!"
The minotaur glanced at the scones in the basket next to the bed, and the expression on his face was calm.When Karantso entered the courtyard, he went straight into the house, and the light came on in the living room of the house, and a moment later there was a scream of surprise from little Ella, and then he ran out of the room barefoot, and stood at the door and shouted to me, "Jiga, you should have informed me earlier." ”Arya said goodnight to me with her maid Betty, and then returned to her room.Ten orc warriors set up a simple marching tent in the courtyard.Early the next morning, Arya went out with Caterina and Karantso to make a final handover with the butler who had been left in the mansion by Madame Cecilia.I hurried to the Royal Academy of Magic for class, and as soon as I ran into the academy gate, I found Senior Vernon looking around at the academy gate, and I ran over to him and patted him on the shoulder, which startled him."
Senior Vernon, who are you waiting for?"
