After more than forty days of buying the quiet courtyard of Madame Cecilia, the villa was finally renovated, because the masons and carpenters hired by Ying Li were specially built for the royal family of Angelboy, so after the villa in the courtyard was painted, it always felt that some of the decorations had a bit of a palace style, such as a lot of exquisite ornaments and reliefs.As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw twelve marble pillars nearly 100 feet high on the left and right sides of the main road, which were covered with vertical lines, and carved a five-foot-high relief at the bottom and top, all of which were the many legendary stories of the five heroes' lives, and among these five heroes, I was most familiar with the creation of the Shatun in the province of Sloit.
Duke Ellie.The round-arched wrought iron dome spans the top of the twenty-four stone pillars, and watching the sunlight penetrate through the horizontal grid on the dome, leaving shadows on the bluestone floor, Ying Li couldn't help but say to me happily: In less than two years, the wrought iron dome at the door will be covered with verdant creepers and mountain vines.Although the low shrubs and lawns of the courtyard have all withered yellow, it can be seen that the shrubs have been refined by the gardener, and the yellow leaves of these shrubs have not had time to fall, but they have been covered by a heavy snowfall, and the clusters of shrubs form semicircular bulges on the grass, and the whole courtyard is white.On the low wall of the fountain in front of the square are carved reliefs about some views of the city of El.Madame Cecilia's courtyard is not very large, there is a four-story baroque style building in the courtyard, I thought this house was beautifully built when I first bought it, after a new round of renovation, the outside does not look much different, I can only see that every glass window is wiped clean and bright, and it seems that the curtains in the house are all brand new.Walking into this big house, I found that Yingli is careful, many of the furniture styles are unique to the city of El, just like the most important thing in the architecture of the city of El is definitely the beautifully designed and practical fireplace, only a well-designed fireplace can allow the family to spend the whole winter comfortably, otherwise it is definitely a chore to climb to the roof of the house and pass the flue in the harsh winter of the north wind and snow.There is a corridor only ten feet long at the entrance of the hall, from which you enter the spacious living room on the first floor, with an oak floor under your feet, and a huge oil painting hanging on the wall of the doorway, which is actually the scene of a large golden apple orchard outside the city of El during the harvest time, golden apples hanging on the emerald apple trees, and the fishing lake in the distance dew a trace of clear blue water, and the oil painting reveals a strong hometown flavor.The furnishings in the room are also in reference to the style of El City, which is located between Sloitt City and Gurudin Town, located on the trade route between the Grimm Empire and the Orc Tribe, where many goods have some Orc Tribe style, and the leather of many furniture bags is the one-horned bison leather transported from the Orc Tribe, this dark brown leather has a rough taste, and the sewn cowhide sofa has a layer of leather on the outside is not so soft."
This is our home!"
I sat down on the cowhide sofa, stretched my limbs, and said to Ying Li.Ying Li stood on the thick velvet carpet in the living room, looking up at the crystal lamp hanging from the ceiling, she pursed her lips, narrowed her slender eyes slightly, showed two sweet dimples on her face, and wore a white knowledge robe, making a soft nasal voice: "Hmm." ”With a hint of girlish shyness and tenderness in her eyes, she sat quietly on the sofa opposite me.Caterina stood in front of the oil painting at the door, with a hint of curiosity in her ruby eyes, and asked me, "Jijia, this is Sister Guoguo's hometown?"
”"yes."
I replied to Katerina."
It's so beautiful here!"
She said to me.After lingering for a moment under the painting, Caterina walked into the living room and sat down on a wooden chair by the window, looking at the furnishings in the living room with a curious expression.The bright sunlight shines into the living room through the clean glass window, there is a fire-gathering charm board in the fireplace, a cyan flame keeps beating from the charm board, and the warm breath is transmitted from the fireplace, Helena and Becky stand on the terrace on the second floor, beckoning to Caterina in the living room, Helena shouts in a sweet voice: "Sister Caterina, do you want to go and see your bedroom?"
”"My bedroom?"
Caterina looked up in surprise and asked Helena."
Of course!
The sheets were personally selected by me for you, just a little worried that you would not like it. ”Helena said to Caterina, who walked slowly up the stairs, carefully surveying every corner of the house.Ying Li brought five maids and a cook from the Prince's Palace, and they had been living in the new courtyard for several days, and had begun to gradually adapt to life here.This was the first time I had set foot in this courtyard since Ying Li had promised to help me decorate the courtyard, and I did not expect that she would carefully make some changes to every place, so that the breath left by Madame Cecilia would be completely eliminated without losing the original style.After buying this courtyard, Madame Cecilia left me some furniture, but she brought all kinds of ornaments and some works of art back to the country, and the living room was already empty."
It's a pity that before returning to the Etia Alliance Kingdom, Kig couldn't come here to have a look."
Ying Li sighed and said to me.After so many days, I haven't received a letter from Qige, which inevitably makes me a little worried.After all, Kig should have been on the airship flying to Ou Rui City at this time, and he didn't know if crossing the swamp jungle was as easy as she said.A maid approached and crouched down in front of Kig to help her take off her thick leather boots and put on a pair of soft shoes.Naturally, Ying Li sat on the sofa and asked the maid to help her change her shoes, and asked me, "I heard that you have recently developed a very useful magic item?"
”I stared at the white socks on her feet and asked her, "Well, how did you even know about this?"
”Ying Li smiled and said to me: "There are so many hot pots in all kinds of magic shops in the imperial capital, and a big businessman from Haiyin Silk City was still inquiring about this matter when he visited James yesterday, how do you know about it?"
”Haiyin Silk City is warm like spring all year round, and the climate is very good, but there are occasional sea storms.I asked Ying Li strangely, "Oh, is Haiyinsi also cold this winter?"
Do you also have to use copper hot pot for heating?
”Ying Li said to me: "That's not necessary, it's just that you asked the craftsman to make a copper hot pot, and it's not just for heating." ”It seems that it is still Ying Li who can understand me, those copper hot pots are not for heating at all, well, it is just in time to launch in such a cold winter, so some people in the imperial capital have the whimsical idea to use it as a magic item for heating.So I said, "Yes!
But why don't the people of the imperial capital think like this?
If you are in Haiyin Silk City, it is also quite good to cook a meal of seafood once in a while. ”Ying Li explained to me: "The merchants over there saw that this magic cookware was easy and convenient to use when sailing, and wanted to sell the copper hot pot to the owners of those big ships. ”"It's a good business opportunity."
I said, then scratched my head with my hand and frowned in my own defense, "It's a little angry to say!
Obviously, I made the copper hot pot so that the people of the imperial capital could also eat delicious shabu-shabu, but these guys preconceived about the copper hot pot as a hand warmer, if it was a hand warmer, would it be necessary to make it so big?
”Caterina appeared on the terrace on the second floor, leaned out of it with Helena and Becky, and said to me sitting on the sofa downstairs, "Didn't the owner of the magic grocery store complain to you about the copper hot pot being too big the day before yesterday?"
Ask if you can make a small copper hot pot for one person and one pot out.Aren't you also very happy to agree?
”I quickly remembered what the owner of the magical grocery store had said to me that day: the people of the Imperial Capital like to divide meals, and of course I had to make a batch of trumpets come out, and I had some recollection, so I asked Katarina, "You mean that guy just wants a batch of small hand warmers that are more convenient to carry?"
”Caterina covered her lips with her hands and smiled lightly, and said to me, "I don't know, even this is what Arya told me. ”I rolled my eyes feebly, and it looked like I was being calculated by the cunning magical grocery store owner.Ying Li sat on the sofa with his knees crossed and said to me: "It is said that the Mingshi Guild has begun to study the production process of the fire-gathering rune plate, and some people speculate that the prerequisite for drawing metal magic lines on the thin copper plate is to persuade the Francis scholars of the Alchemy Department here of the Imperial Capital Research Institute to publish the formula of the magic red copper solution. ”How good is the recipe of the Francis Scholars!
I exclaimed, "These masters really want everything!"
”Ying Li said to me, "I heard that Vice Dean Bruce has clearly rejected the request of the Mingshi Guild. ”I didn't expect Ying Li to be more familiar with some of the news in the Magic Research Institute than me, I have been busy making the third magic engraving machine in Xinliu Valley for the past two days, and I haven't been to the magic laboratory of the Yerkes Scholar for three days, and I am also very closed to the new news in the Magic Research Institute.So I couldn't help but ask Ying Li: "Isn't it the Magic Guild that came forward again this time?"
”Ying Li shook her head, her long black hair hanging down like a waterfall swaying from side to side, and she said, "After all, Francis is a relatively well-known scholar in the imperial capital, and it is not easy for the Magic Guild to interfere too much. ”Obviously, this news should have come from the Magic Guild, and Ying Li continued to say to me, "However, speaking of which, those red copper magic line rune plates must not really be drawn one by one by you with the magic red copper solution, right?"
”I smiled and didn't explain the magic marker to her, but asked her, "Do you want to know how those magic sigil tablets are made?"
”Ying Li's eyes immediately widened, and he put on a look of listening attentively, and said, "Yes!
”"Then you will go to Xinliu Valley with me later!"
I said to her.Ying Li happily agreed: "Okay!
Now many magicians in the imperial capital are discussing this matter.They didn't understand that if the copper hot pot had been sold at such a low price, then the masters who made these fire-gathering talisman plates would be unprofitable at all. ”Then she said, "Some people think that the master who made the fire-gathering talisman is doing something harmful to others and himself, and some people think that the master is simply trying to help the residents of the imperial capital survive this cold winter.Tell me, which of these two guesses is closer to the correct answer?
”I think about it seriously, in fact, to keep the price so low, of course, there is an idea, aimed at those masters in the imperial capital, but now this kind of copper hot pot has solved the heating problem of some people in the imperial capital, so I will let the Xinliu Valley increase the output of copper hot pot, and I also want the people in the imperial capital to easily spend this harsh winter.So I said to Ying Li, "Maybe there are some of both!"
However, this kind of fire-gathering spell board is still profitable, so it will continue to be done.In the final analysis, it was the new type of magic rune board that completely occupied the market of the fire gathering rune board, which made these masters in the imperial capital a little panicked. ”Ying Li said as a matter of course: "Of course, the price is so much cheaper all of a sudden." ”I casually took out such a round palm-sized rune plate from the magic waist bag, and there were no magic crystal fragments in the middle gem groove, so there was no flame coming out, I pointed to the fire-gathering rune board in my hand and said: "A palm-sized fire-gathering rune board, the magic red copper cost is only a little the size of the little finger cover, the cost is very low, and the price can naturally be pressed down." ”When Ying Li heard me say this, he first smiled, and then said: "Now there is no Ming Master here in the imperial capital who is willing to make a fire gathering talisman board. ”Actually, I'm thinking much more than that, I'm also planning a third magic engraving machine to imprint the miniature tornado magic pattern circle.I said to Ying Li: "Not only do the fire gathering spell board, but in the next step, I am also ready to snatch back the market of exhaust fans." ”"With so many runes to make, can you make them?"
Ying Li asked me."
You'll understand when you see the answer."
I said to Ying Li, I'll wait for the magic test.With that, I pulled her upstairs with me, and I felt that the upstairs bedroom was relatively more secluded, and I was going to open the portal there.The teleportation altar in Xinliu Valley was littered with yellow, orange, and orange copper hot pots, which were placed against the stone wall, which were going to be picked up from the magic grocery store tomorrow morning, and were now neatly placed on the stone floor."
These copper hot pots are made in Xinliu Valley?"
Ying Li ran to the wall to take a look and asked me.At this time, I saw two female dwarves walking in from the cave outside with two copper hot pots, so I pointed at them and said to Ying Li, "These copper hot pots, including the fire gathering talisman plates, are made by them. ”
