The imperial capital in the basin at the top of Mount Majaro finally ushered in a heavy snowfall, and the entire imperial capital city became white in the wind and snow.Since the imperial capital is surrounded by a circular mountain range that resembles a huge volcanic crater, wind and snow gather in the imperial capital city.In just one night, the snow in the city was waist-deep at its shallowest level, the magic caravans and low bush walls in the streets were buried in the snow, the traffic in the entire imperial capital was paralyzed, and the shops in the street markets were closed.The price of grain, oil, meat and other food in the shops increased exponentially, and overnight, all the firewood and briquettes in the imperial capital were exhausted, and His Majesty Charles issued a directive to suspend all large workshops, and all the briquettes and firewood in the workshops were to be sold to the civilians of the sixth and seventh blocks at a reasonable price, to ensure that they would not freeze to death in front of the fireplace at home on the coldest winter night, and the royal family of Angel Bird would take out some of the money from the treasury to make up for the losses of these large workshop owners.It is said that the imperial capital has such severe and extreme weather every year, but this year's snow seems to have come a little early, according to an astronomer in the magical newspaper, it is because the cold air currents in the north and the warm and humid trade winds in the southeast meet on Mount Majaro to cause such a heavy snowfall.The town hall began to actively organize the common people in the imperial capital to carry out snow removal campaigns, which were usually paid labor, and the commoners only had to work for four hours to get a silver coin and a hot meal, and they could eat as much as they wanted, with broth and wheat cakes.The nobles only had to stay at home, sit on the couch in front of the fireplace, bake the fire, eat hot beef broth, and let the servants sweep the snow from the yard and wait for the weather to pick up.The Royal Academy of Magic also sent several magicians to post notices on the notice boards at the entrances of the various dormitories before the heavy snow showed signs of road closures: the academy was closed for a week.I don't understand what the heavy snow has to do with the Royal Academy of Magic, and I actually have to make a move to suspend classes, most of the magic students in the academy are living on campus, and most of the magic teachers' apartments are also in the third block around the academy, in my opinion, there is no need to suspend classes at all, but the library of the academy is still open normally, and in such a cold weather, the library also provides free hot milk tea to all magic students.I travel back and forth between the Academy of Magic and the Imperial Capital Research Institute every day, but in this cold weather, there is no magic caravan at all, and the Gubolai horses pulling the cart are led into the stables by the coachmen.Heavy snow may be an obstacle to the travel of the people of the imperial capital, but for a person from the north, no matter how heavy the snow is, it is impossible to cause an obstacle to travel.I turned over the skis that had been left in the warehouse in Xinliu Valley for a long time, I originally thought that I would not need it when I came to the imperial capital, but now it seems that I was wrong, although the climate of the imperial capital is warmer than that of the northern provinces, but the snow is not small at all.Caterina and I each walked out of the dormitory with a pair of skis on our shoulders, and I kept telling Caterina about the basics of skiing, and then put on my ski boots and showed her in person on the snow by the pool in the dormitory.Wearing tight leather armor and squinting her eyes, Caterina stood to the side, watching me slide back and forth on the snow a few times, casually stepping on skis and walking twice on the snow, and then learned to ski.The two of us wore skis and walked through the campus of the Royal Academy of Magic, one after the other on the thick snow, and when we passed the square in front of the teaching building, we found that there were many magic students gathered in the square, Noah and Shirley.
Newman was among them, cheering, running, and having fun in waist-deep snow.Noah grew up in the city of Ignas in Emerald Bay, and Shirley, a noble family in the southern province of Bena, and the two were very new to the snow in the north, and they had not seen it before, and the snow melted as soon as it fell from the sky to the ground.Under the envious eyes of the magicians in the square, I quickly slid out of the academy gates and disappeared with Caterina into Yulin Street.Such a cold weather did not stop the gathering of the water magicians, and the water magic-themed salon that was only held once a month was held as scheduled at the Mackintosh magician's house, which was one of the strongholds of the water magician union in the imperial capital.The so-called water magic salon is actually a gathering of water magicians to exchange their experiences and understandings in the recent period.Many new water magicians will benefit from the magic salon, and this water magic salon is also a good platform to show themselves to other water magicians to show some magic research results, so that they will be recognized by other magicians and gain some prestige in the magic world.In fact, the reason why Shaun Scholar has such a great influence among water magicians is that he often wants other water magicians to share his experience and experience, and he has selflessly helped many water magicians, and of course, I am also one of the many water magicians he has helped.Scholar Sean was surrounded by a group of water magicians, and he crossed the crowd and asked me, "Jijia, I see that you have been running to the magic research institute a lot lately, do you have any small inventions in water magic?"
”"Yes, Scholar Sean."
I replied aloud.Scholar Sean asked me directly, "Oh, can you show us that?"
”So I said, "Of course, Scholar Sean. ”"This invention was inspired when I went to the airport town some time ago, and I was inspired when I saw several Xinghai City fish merchants selling chilled sea fish in the trade market, and after returning to the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, I invented a life magic item" Although I know that it is a bit inappropriate to show my invention in such bad weather, but since Scholar Sean asked me at the magic salon what new discoveries I have made in the magic array recently, I walked out of the crowd and looked back at Scholar Maren apologetically, Scholar Mullen motioned for me to talk later, and I nodded hurriedly.Scholar Mullen is proficient in the ancient goblin language, which is what I need to know the most at the moment, and Scholar Mullen thinks that I am also a young magician who is extremely proficient in goblin transformation, and thinks that I have the same interests as him, and we also contacted him by writing letters before this salon, and this meeting at the salon is like a friend who has known each other for a long time, and the topics that can be talked about have become much wider.I walked to the middle of the crowd and saluted.There were nearly twenty water magicians sitting or standing in the hall, they all looked at me curiously, in their eyes I was a complete newcomer, and there were even many people who didn't know me, quietly asked their companions around, and then after being introduced by their companions, their eyes showed surprise.I dragged a rectangular wooden box out of my magic backpack.When I first built this wooden box, I was very stubborn and asked the carpenter to install a door on the side of the wooden box, and the last thing that could not be understood by the Yerkes scholar was that I made the wooden box thin and tall, in fact, according to the idea of the Yerkes scholar, the horizontal box with a 10X8X6 ratio of the magic box is the most perfect golden ratio, but for the shape of the wooden box, I have an almost paranoid attachment, after all, it is a life-oriented magic item, so the Yerkes scholar did not care about me.Scholar Yerkis helped me design a frost magic pattern that can work normally on the cheap red copper rune plate, and the most rare thing is that this frost is still a continuous magic effect, the center of this red copper rune plate is inlaid with this magic crystal fragment, I spread a thick quilt on the inside of the wooden box, and made a wooden board in the interlayer, so that the space inside is not as big as it looks from the outside, but it is acceptable, and finally nailed the thin red copper rune plate to the wooden board inside, Finally, I polished the inside and out of the wooden box with fine sandpaper and brushed the white paint on the outside of the wooden box three times, and the first wooden refrigerator in the Green Empire was made from my hands.The Yerkes scholars couldn't understand my approach, and they didn't need to seal the magic box properly, but they had to spend time and effort making this kind of storage refrigerator.I placed the refrigerator next to the hall and began to introduce the function of this refrigerator to the gathered water magicians, there is no doubt that the magic pattern circle of this refrigerator is more suitable for water magicians to draw, it can be said that this is a life type magic item suitable for water magicians, but after I introduced the function of the refrigerator, it did not cause much reaction among this group of water magicians.At most, someone will smile at me and say, "Oh, that's a great idea, it's a new idea."
Some people tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Hey, it's good for young people to have ideas, I hope your innovative spirit will continue, come on, young people."
In short, this creative display was a failure, and I didn't get everyone's approval, and many water magicians asked very sharp questions, because they knew water magic, and understood the current situation of the imperial capital's magic market, so their doubts were solid and powerful, and every question was well founded.Towards the end of the session, Scholar Mullen ran out of nowhere and stood side by side with me in front of the refrigerator, Scholar Mullen held the same opinion as the others, but as if he was afraid of hurting my self-esteem, he spoke more tactfully.He stood in front of the refrigerator for a short while, stretched out his hand to stroke the refrigerator, sighed softly, and said to me: "It seems to be an imitation of the Demon Sealing Box, but it is far less practical than the Demon Sealing Box, and it needs a copper talisman plate, even if it is the cheapest red copper talisman plate, it is also an expensive talisman plate!"
Those talisman plates in the Grimm Imperial Capital are all monopolized by the Ming Master in the Ming Guild, so it shouldn't be that you want to promote this magic item of yours to the whole people, right?
It's not a necessity for traveling like a magic caravan, the nobles don't need it, the commoners can't afford it, and this magic item is so awkward that no one will want it. ”Scholar Mullen is not right at all, the nobles don't need it, and the commoners can't afford it, which is the biggest problem with this refrigerator.Then he said to me, "Besides, it's winter, and if you want ice, you just need to put a basin of water outside the house overnight, and maybe someone will be willing to try your invention in the summer." ”This is also one of the reasons why refrigerators are not favored, if it is a hot weather, I am afraid that there are people willing to buy one.Scholar Malen said: "Also, if you want to promote this magic item for civilians on the market, the most important thing is to reduce the production cost This time, about the life magic pattern on the fishskin hood, it seems that all the masters in the imperial capital have offended, don't expect someone in the imperial capital to help you draw cheap talisman metal plates." ”I patted my forehead and stood to the side, a little discouraged, listless.Scholar Maren looked through the refrigerator carefully inside and out, and asked me a little suspiciously: "Although your refrigerator idea is not very good, but this wooden box is quite exquisite, could it be that the shape of this refrigerator is borrowed from some smart ruins?"
”Scholar Mullen added, "I remember that during the Gostalk period, they created a lot of items that combined magic and technology. ”Seeing that I shook my head, Scholar Mullen patted me on the shoulder comfortingly.My mind had already flown to the Magic Marker, and this time Bernd and the Old Dwarves had succeeded in scaling down the size of the Magic Marker, and finally built a prototype of the second Magic Marker.The Royal Academy of Magic announced the closure of classes, and I have been preparing to smelt kryptonite items in the past few days, including some expensive co-solvents and shaping molds, with magic drawings as described above, the kryptonite magic line impression on the punch is the core of the magic marking machine, and the magic line impression cannot be a little deviated, otherwise even if the magic pattern line similar to the magic pattern circle is printed, but the magic pattern circle printed is likely to be some failure.For the past few days, I've been taking Caterina to the underground caverns of the Willow Valley to make the second prototype of the Magic Stamper, because the rest of the prototype is already fully ready, and I only need to solve the magic problem on the stamping head.Bernd and the four old dwarf craftsmen also helped me come up with the idea, and fought for four days and nights, and finally the day before the resumption of classes at the magic academy, the prototype of this magic engraving machine was successfully built, and when the cyan flame ignited on the red copper rune plate, Bernd and the old dwarves were shocked.
The strand sat on the ground.If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have thought that the magic engraving machine would actually replace the Ming Master and successfully print a metal rune plate.The first prototype looked tattered, and some parts were tinkered with, disassembled and assembled, making this magic printer look dilapidated.Moreover, we tried to print the Fire Gathering Magic Pattern Circle on a red copper plate, and even the simplest fire-based universal magic runes had a failure rate of almost 90 percent, which means that at least one of the ten rune plates engraved is a scrap, so this magic seal machine is far from what I expected.But the only thing that is gratifying is that the appearance of this magic marker has actually succeeded, and our research has taken the first step towards success.The next step is to study how to improve the success rate of engraving, and how to make this magic marking machine more refined
