Before leaving the imperial capital, Kig handed over the trading house she owned to me, and I couldn't spare time to manage her trading house, so I asked Arya to keep an eye on it for me.When Qige was in the imperial capital, she would check the accounts of the trading house in the middle of every month, and she had to decide the ratio of goods to buy from Guruding Town each time, including magic parchment, canned luncheon meat, vermicelli, corpse fire oil, primary magic herbs, and some raw jerky, etc., all of which were varied and spanned, but they were all specialties of the orc tribe.Among these goods, the most stable sales are magic parchment, and in recent times the demand has been in short supply of magic herbs, and some noble lords are willing to stock up on some luncheon meat and corpse fire oil, which are stored as military supplies by some lords, and vermicelli has been successfully introduced into the tables of the nobles of Grimm by Qige.These imported products of the orc tribe have a large part of the consumer group in the imperial capital, for example, canned luncheon meat is similar to the beef in the imperial capital, although the price is almost the same, but canned food is easier to store and transport, and is the first choice for home travel.In addition, Qige also has a workshop for making magic potions and fire phosphorus bombs, and the production of these two workshops has been arranged for half a year before Qige leaves, and each workshop has its own manager, so I just need to listen to the housekeeper's report on the accounts on the island by the lake regularly, and occasionally ask Arya to go to the workshop to check some actual conditions, as long as the two workshops can maintain normal operation, even if there is no profit in the past few months, I will not care, as long as I can hold on until Qige returns from Etiya.Kige never asked me why I didn't have contact with Kuzi on the side of the Grimm Empire, but she must have some ideas in her heart.The four old dwarven craftsmen worked together to create a miniature prototype of the magic engraving machine, and after four days and nights of continuous fighting, they finally succeeded in creating a metal talisman plate of the Gathering Fire Technique, and it was at this time that I suddenly found myself one step closer to the dream in my heart.As the Yerkis scholars say, this metal magic rune plate greatly reduces the need for magical metal.In the imperial capital, copper is the cheapest common metal.Such a magic engraving machine is equivalent to a magic apprentice drawing magic rune plates day and night, the magic engraving machine never needs to consume mental power, only a skilled mechanic who controls the engraving machine can do it, and many female dwarves in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley can do it.In the eyes of the four old dwarf craftsmen, this magic engraving machine obviously has a lot of shortcomings, because the blacksmith shop in Xinliu Valley lacks a large number of professional tools, and the transmission shafts and gears produced can only rely on manual polishing, to put it bluntly, a hacksaw and a few plate files are forced to pull out the workpiece from the iron, and even to be able to make this magic engraving machine run normally, I think it's a miracle.So the first improvement of this prototype is also slowly unfolded under the auspices of the old dwarf, first of all, all the transmission parts that do not meet the requirements must be removed, in order to process more simply, this part of the parts are made of copper, and now they have to be replaced with steel or black iron rolling, dwarves have some unique understanding of the processing technology of transmission shafts and gears.The four old dwarf craftsmen in the underground caverns of Xinliu Valley immediately began to work on the third magic seal machine.At the same time, the forging of the magic engraving machine in the North Duisburg blacksmith workshop also arrived in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley, under the auspices of the old dwarf craftsman, this normal model size magic engraving machine also began to be assembled one after another, in order to be able to make this magic engraving machine have a good performance from the beginning, many of the Xinliu Valley blacksmith shops can not make exquisite parts, I have taken the drawings copied by the old dwarves to the major blacksmith shops in the imperial capital OEM.Because the fire-gathering metal rune plate is only engraved on the ordinary copper plate magic red copper wire, once it fails, it will not waste anything, at most, the magic line on this copper plate is scraped off with a file, and it can be reprocessed immediately.So I whimsically drew the copper hot pot in my memory on parchment, and then asked an old dwarf craftsman to help me build one, according to this copper hot pot style with a circular chimney in the middle and a ring-shaped pot bottom around it, and more than a dozen female dwarves were in the blacksmith shop in Xinliu Valley with iron hammers to make this kind of copper hot pot.The base of this copper hot pot is inlaid with such a palm-sized fire-gathering magic rune board, as long as it is used, a magic crystal fragment is placed on the rune plate at the bottom of the copper hot pot, and a cyan flame burns in it, which is very convenient to operate.After the copper hot pot was created, I couldn't wait to use the copper hot pot to entertain the dwarves living in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley, the delicate and fatty yellow mutton cut into thin slices like cicada wings, only need to stay in the boiling water for a short moment to fish out, no other seasonings, as long as it is dipped in some leek flower sauce and eaten into the mouth is incomparably delicious.The dwarves are usually accustomed to ale, dry bread, sausages and stewed meat, and usually eat mutton is just to chop the mutton into pieces, throw it into a large iron pot and cook it together, eat meat and drink soup, this way of cutting into thin slices and cooking in boiling water, they are the first time to try, not only feel very novel, but also feel that eating mutton in this way is really delicious.This group of dwarves is also very bottom-line, and they are not unscrupulous because there are more than 60,000 barrels of golden cider in the cellar.In fact, only Bernd and the old dwarves drank a little once in a while, and they loved to drink, and sometimes they would make some barley wine with coarse lees from the barley and grain that had been distributed to them, and sometimes the dwarves could even nibble on a piece of black bread and drink two sticks of ale.There are also some white rock rhino hard leather armor hoarded in Xinliu Valley, and there is no magic pattern structure drawn on these hard leather armor for the time being, I am ready to make these white rock rhino hard leather armor into the power of the giant bear magic pattern structure, so as long as I have time, I will come here, Yerkis Scholar has been preparing for the winter magic pattern construction conference.I heard that there are many inscriptions in the imperial capital who are also waiting to see what kind of person this magician who has not yet passed the primary examination of the inscription, but has designed the magic pattern of the Demonic Snake's Tooth magic pattern structure that makes many lords drool, and whether he can release the impressive magic pattern construction again at the winter magic pattern construction conference.There was even a well-known inscription master in the imperial capital who openly speculated in the magic newspaper that the snake demon fang was a magic pattern construction design copied from an ancient book by a Yerkis scholar, but in fact, he himself didn't know anything about inscription design, the reason was that a person who couldn't even pass the junior inscription master exam could design a magic pattern construction drawing!
There are many things to prepare, the most important point is that at the press conference, in front of the many fellow masters and magicians and noble lords in the audience, he needs to briefly explain and explain his design drawings, and answer some questions.So in addition to going to him regularly every week to draw the Snake Fang, I would go to the Willow Valley to draw the Giant Bear's Power Demon Pattern Structure.During this time, the biggest change in Xinliu Valley was not the orc warriors who had the white rock rhino hard leather armor and the black lin horse, but those barbarian slaves who wore black iron armor, hung a black iron moon blade axe on their waists, and carried an overweight cross crossbow transformed from a bed crossbow.They are physically strong, especially their endurance far exceeds my expectations, even wearing this heavy armor weighing more than 1,000 catties, they can carry out rapid marches of more than 100 kilometers, and they can also put on a charging formation on the battlefield, this group of barbarians is a group of natural fighters.Originally, I wanted to make one of the two magics of the next magic engraver, a miniature tornado or a frost, on the head of the next magic marker, so that the cost of the exhaust fan and refrigerator could be greatly reduced, at least so that the ordinary residents of the imperial capital could afford it, but after seeing the military formation of these barbarian slaves, I changed my mind, and the manufacture of the exhaust fan and refrigerator was delayed, and the creation of a heavy crossbow magic arrow became a priority.Originally, I wanted to tattoo these two magic patterns on the wrists of Katerina and Karantso, because these two magic patterns are very compatible with the concentrated magic patterns, and in the process of tattooing, Karantso inadvertently mentioned: If the penetrating magic pattern array is engraved on the tip of the crossbow arrow, will these black iron arrows easily pierce the armor of the heavy knight?
Thus the heavy crossbow arrows that were engraved with both piercing and sharp spells were born in the hands of me and the Yerkis scholars, of course, I could not draw the Concentrated Magic Pattern on the tip of the arrow, but I could inlay cheaper Magician shards.Scholar Yerkes laughed and said that this kind of bed crossbow bolt is the most expensive crossbow arrow, and the cost of each one will not be less than one magic crystal, and because of the limited number of imperial capital inscriptions, this kind of arrow cannot be mass-produced, when he said this, he didn't know that the printing head of my second magic engraving machine will be engraved with two kinds of magic pattern circles at the same time, both penetrating and sharp, this large magic engraving machine has a large printing head area, and I am going to engrave four heavy crossbow arrows at one time.As the plane war continues to break out, the war has caused the economy of the Grimm Empire to show a trend of regression, but there are also many war weapons industry rises, at this stage, a large number of black magic crystals continue to pour into the Grimm Empire's trading market, and the exchange ratio of magic crystals and gold coins is constantly shrinking.I remember that five years ago, in the El City of the Grimm Empire, a magic crystal could be exchanged for at least nine gold coins, but this winter, one magic crystal can be exchanged for six and a half gold coins.A magic crystal fragment the size of a fingernail is equivalent to the size of one-tenth of a magic crystal, but this magic crystal fragment is even more worthless, by no means one-tenth of the price of magic crystal, in fact, ten silver rings can buy a fragment of such a magic crystal, so the use of magic tools is no longer a distant thing in some families in the imperial capital, many families have magic caravans, magic wall lamps and so on.This summer, a magical item that became an exhaust fan became popular in the imperial capital, and then the major unions rushed to copy it.Just as the old dwarf craftsmen were debugging the second magic engraving machine, small batches of fire-gathering rune plates were engraved, and then loaded into the bottom of the copper hot pot, and then this kind of copper hot pot with its own fire-gathering magic circle quietly began to be sold in the magic grocery store in the tower of arrogance in the imperial capital.This year's winter in the imperial capital seems to be extremely cold, heavy snow after snow, the streets of the imperial capital have been compacted with a thick layer of snow, the magic caravan will press deep ruts on the hard snow, and the magic caravan on the street can only drive forward along these ruts, so that the vehicles on the street are extremely orderly.After the morning magic class, I met up with the daughters of Ying Li at the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic, and I originally wanted to go to the food street to eat casually, but because the snowy road was not easy to walk, I canceled the decision to go out for lunch, and finally Katerina suggested that it would be better to have a hot pot in the water magician's dormitory.For the hot pot this kind of food, Ying Li and Helena, Becky is no stranger, when the girls heard that a set of special pots and pans were specially created for shabu shabu, they couldn't wait to run to the dormitory to cook hot pot to eat, in such a cold winter, several people gathered in the dormitory to eat a hot pot, the dazzling sunlight shined into the bedroom through the glass window, and the fragrance of mutton shabu soon wafted into the corridor of the bedroom.At this time, I saw Noah holding a copper hot pot in his arms, and suddenly broke in from outside, and when he was still half of his foot outside the door, he asked me loudly, "Jijia, what good things are you eating in the bedroom?"
”"I'm speechless, is there any need to make the whole floor know!"
AhhWin Li, Helena, Becky, you are also there" At this time, Noah saw Win Li and Helena, Becky, and Caterina sitting around the desk, and greeted each other with a smile.There was a steaming hot pot on the table, and I was standing by cutting lamb with a skinning knife.Ying Li hurriedly stood up politely, and said with a smile: "Noah, do you want to eat together?"
”On the Vaschi plane, three months have made Noah and Ying Li become very familiar friends, and everyone has become very casual when chatting.Noah held a copper hot pot, walked to the writing desk, looked at the steaming hot pot on the table, and said to me with a surprised face: "Dwarf oil, Jijia, your idea is really good!"
I didn't think of using this kind of stove to cook and eat!
Originally, I wanted to recommend this stove to you, but I didn't expect you to use it one step ahead of me, the winter in the imperial capital is really cold."
