For the people in the imperial capital, this year's winter is exceptionally cold, and two consecutive snowfalls have made the imperial capital's winter freeze into a white tone.All the inconveniences caused by these two snows have been transformed into economic burdens imposed on the people of the imperial capital, and the soaring prices of various prices have left the people with no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery brought by these two heavy snowfalls to the imperial capital.The poor who are on the subsistence line have no money to buy firewood or briquettes to protect against the cold of winter, and this year's briquettes and firewood in the imperial capital are nearly twice as expensive as in previous years, thanks to the intervention of the councillors at the city hall to force down the price of fuel in the market.There are still many small nobles in the imperial capital who can't buy briquettes with gold coins in their hands, in short, the deepest impression on the people of the imperial capital this winter is the cold.As a result, a range of items to protect against the cold appeared on the market.It was also when I was selling the third batch of copper hot pot to the grocery store that I learned from the owner of the magic grocery store about some of the things that happened in the imperial capital this winter, and it was actually not his fault that Noah used the hot pot as a hand warmer, but it was actually caused by the owner of the magic grocery store unintentionally.I took the hot pot produced by the female dwarves in the blacksmith shop in Xinliu Valley out of Xinliu Valley and sent it to the magic grocery store in the Tower of Pride in the Imperial Capital.He just randomly placed a magic crystal shard on the copper talisman plate, and then added a little water to the pot, saying that placing this thing in the room would quickly warm up the whole room.This can't be blamed on the owner of the grocery store for selling too casually, mainly because there are many nobles who go to the grocery store every day to buy the fire-gathering magic scroll, a palm-sized fire-gathering scroll can continue to burn for more than twenty hours, if placed in the fireplace in the house, it can keep the house warm all day, although the price is a little expensive, but it is affordable for the nobles.So the fire-gathering scrolls in the various magic grocery stores have also become high-end heating items in this winter, with the demand-side market, the fire-gathering scrolls of the magic grocery store have naturally become out-of-stock items, just when the magic grocery store wants to purchase more fire-gathering scrolls, I ran to the magic grocery store with fifty copper hot pots, and said a lot to the owner of the magic grocery store, Balabala, the owner of the grocery store only clearly remembered that there was a fire-gathering talisman plate at the bottom of this copper pot, Moreover, the price of the entire copper cauldron is only one-third of the price of the fire gathering talisman plate in the magic market.In this way, these magic hot pots have a greater profit margin for the grocery store owner, although the magic red copper rune plate in the copper hot pot is a little different from other rune plates, but the burning flame is not inferior at all, the flame is cyan, which indicates that the temperature of the flame release is very high, so he began to recommend these copper hot pots to those nobles who want to buy magic scrolls, and they are called "stoves".What made me laugh and cry finally happened, the copper hot pot did not become popular in the imperial capital, but the stove quickly began to sell well under the word of mouth of some small nobles, and the most joyful thing for the grocery store owner is that the reputation of these stoves seems to be very good, but the owner of the magic grocery store has not yet realized that a new style of rune board that has broken the average price of the rune board for many years is slowly being bred in his shop.Looking through the glass windows covered with ice cube flowers, watching the magic caravans in the distance fill the streets with snow cleared from the streets, Silvermoon heard the coachman whip up his whip and whistling loudly in the air.Pushing open the window to let the cold air blow into the warm room, I couldn't help but shiver in the wind with only a silk shirt, the white vapor of the Guborema steaming from his body, pulling the magic caravan with all his might, and the civilians of the whole city were clearing the snow from the streets.The air was filled with a rich element of ice, and I stretched out a finger and recited a random incantation, and a grain of ice crystals condensed on my fingertips.If fighting in the heavy rain is the home of the water magician, then the ice magician is particularly fond of winter, in this weather, the condensation speed of ice magic is much faster than usual, the magic perception is released, I clearly feel the maids standing outside the door waiting for me and Arya to get up, Betty is sitting on the side, holding a parchment book in her hand, and is holding a pen to check the records on the book one by one, probably planning how to arrange Arya's day's itinerary.There was a sweet smell behind me, a warm body pressed against my back, a pair of gentle arms wrapped us tightly in a velvet blanket, Arya rested her head on my shoulder, and asked me in a flattering voice, "Why do you get up so early, do you have a morning class today?"
”Feeling the softness of Arya's body, I dispelled the ice crystals on the tips of my fingers, and those ice crystals instantly turned into ice powder and dissipated into the air, like a handful of silver powder sprinkled under the dazzling eyes.I turned around and buried my head under her fragrant soft neck, took a deep breath, and said to Arya: "There has been nothing going on in the academy recently, many classes have ended this semester, and now is the time for magic students to finally sprint to cultivate the magic level, the Royal Academy of Magic has some hard standards, requiring magic students to reach at least three levels at the end of the first semester to reach the magic level." ”Arya squinted her eyes and chuckled before she said, "You're now an eighth-level magician, so it doesn't matter to you to sprint to cultivate the magic level?"
”I turned my head and looked at the courtyard, which was still quite delicate after the heavy snowfall.Maybe it's because Arya and I have both lived in the north since childhood, and we have an indescribable affection for snow, and she didn't ask the servants to clean up the snow in the yard, and I think it's best to do so, with a thick white blanket on the grass, and a very simple beauty.I said to Arya, "Sort of!
So I took this opportunity to take a two-week leave to go out. ”Arya leaned over to me and asked, "Where are you going?"
”"Hierro."
I say.Arya didn't know the second secret of the Hammer of the Plane Breaker yet, so she didn't know how I could get to the Hiero plane, so she asked me, "Ah, is it too late?"
You want to borrow a temporary teleportation array from the Samoyed Duke's Palace?
”I said, "It should be in time, two more giant spiders in the silk reeling workshop in Xinliu Valley have died, and if they die like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to produce magic spider silk ingots next month, and I need to catch some new giant spiders back." ”Hearing me say this, Arya hugged me tightly from behind, and then said to me: "I heard that the situation in the Hiero plane has become unstable, and the Duke of Samoyed has lost three cities in a row, if you can't catch it, don't be too reluctant, it's winter, and it doesn't matter if the weaving workshop is closed for a while." ”I don't shy away from the fact that Pereira City is now in chaos, and you can imagine other cities in the Hierro plane.I said, "I'll have to go over there to find out."
This time I'll take those barbarian slaves with me, they should have the strength to fight the spider-man warriors. ”Seeing that I had already made a decision, Arya just asked softly, "When are you leaving?"
”I was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Leave later, Caterina will come and join me." ”Perhaps because of the imminent parting, the atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and she pressed her face against my back.After a while, Arya calmed down and said to me, "By the way, the Prince of Wales and the Royal Constructed Knights have set their next goal.Do you know where it is?
”"Where?"
I asked.A while ago, the royal family of Angel Bold had some infighting, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Charlie seemed to think that the Prince of Wales had made outstanding achievements recently, and he took the Royal Knights to make meritorious achievements in the plane, and finally he couldn't sit still in the palace, so he wanted to operate it to see if there was any possibility of leading troops to the battle.However, this matter was forcibly suppressed by His Majesty Charles.Now that the Prince of Wales is about to go on another expedition."
Angela of the Babington family, San Carlos."
Arya said a name that I wasn't surprised by.Because all the previous signs indicate that the Grimm Empire is in dire need of a large amount of Mithril.Arya said to me: "It is said that to solve the problem of the scarcity of Mithril mines, Angela's five major Mithril mines will be the primary target of this expedition, and the Green Empire needs a large number of Mithril maintenance magic equipment, including magic airships, magic caravans, magic cannons, bed crossbows, siege vehicles and other weapons, and this time the crisis of the Babington family can be regarded as safe." ”The biggest force in Angela's face is in the hands of the Babington family, affected by Angela's multi-faceted war, their factory in San Carlos City is in a state of semi-shutdown, if this situation continues for a few months, it may drag the Babington family alive, but now it seems that after the royal family released the news, the Babington family is dead."
Wales agreed?"
I asked Alya."
Hmm."
Arya said: "The letter of appointment was issued yesterday afternoon, and the Mo family's Mo family members also went on the expedition, it seems that this time it is also inevitable, the Ax Legion Captain of Qiyan City directly led the Constructed Knights to Angela for many faces, as early as a month ago. ”"In that case, will the Fu Workshop here in our imperial capital be impacted?"
I remembered that I also owned a rune workshop in the imperial capital, so I asked Arya.Arya smiled bitterly and said to me, "It's not just that I'm impacted, it's just such a confirmed appointment news, so that Fu Workshop received more than 20 chargeback applications yesterday afternoon. ”"Why is someone chargeback so fast?"
I asked, a little surprised.Originally, I thought that even if the Fu Workshop was impacted, it would be at least a month later, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.Arya smiled at me and said, "Speaking of which, the reason is on you. ”"Me?
How is it my reason?
”Hearing Arya say this made me even more confused.Arya explained to me, "I heard that the Empire is going to go on an expedition against Angela, and the five largest Mithril mines there will soon be back in operation, and the small lords who originally had some Mithril reserves will all want to sell their Mithril before the price of Mithril is still high, and take advantage of this last opportunity to make a profit." ”"What does this have to do with me?"
I said with a wry smile."
Of course, this has nothing to do with you, and then it has something to do with you, there is suddenly such a batch of Mithril in the Imperial Capital Magic Market, and some dead rune workshops in the Imperial Capital will be revitalized immediately."
Arya whispered in my ear."
Don't forget, who completely offended those guys because of the life magic pattern on the fishskin hood and the conflict with all the Ming masters in the imperial capital" "It's me!
”I said frankly.Arya said, "You wouldn't be naïve enough to think that they didn't know that you were the one standing behind Nick, would you?
”"It's not difficult to investigate this, so, those Mingshi are taking revenge on me?"
I asked Alya.Arya said, "They just won't accept the drawing of the Adamantite Pattern Plate for the time being. ”I asked her, "So now that rune workshop is in a difficult situation?"
”"That's not all, Nick and Brennan have started fanning the craftsmen in the workshop to get ready to leave the workshop together, and I'm going to rush over this morning to deal with that," said Arya. ”I asked Arya, "Are they going to go to another workshop together?"
”Arya said to me, "I'll try to keep those craftsmen as much as I can," and it didn't seem as simple as Arya said, the craftsmen in the workshop had been working under Nick for so long, and it was hard to say that they would stick to the rune workshop.So I said to Arya, "This kind of thing doesn't have to be too forced, it may not be a good thing for them to leave the rune workshop, this kind of thing must be natural." ”Arya said, "Ah!
Aren't you ready to run a rune workshop?
”I took a deep breath and said to Arya, "Of course not, not only will I not be out of business, but I will also try my best to make the rune workshop bigger, but I don't need those technicians who make blank runes soon, if they want to leave, you can let them go decisively." ”Arya looked at me in surprise, and I said to her, "Since those masters have completely torn their faces with us, then I have nothing to worry about, I said I would teach those arrogant fellows some lessons. ”I didn't expect those Mingshi to have such a big influence, and they actually began to boycott me collectively.I didn't expect that the honest Nick would finally be persuaded by Brennan to choose to take the craftsmen in the workshop away.It's just that even if Nick and the craftsmen leave, what can I do, because there is a magic engraving machine in Xinliu Valley, from now on I don't need those blank magic rune plates at all, as long as the ordinary metal plates are enough, I don't need the Ming Master to draw the magic pattern circle on the blank rune board, all I need is a place in the imperial capital to turn around magic rune plates.
