When every Grimm Empire person takes the magic caravan along the main road of Majaro Mountain to the top of the mountain, they will be shocked by the more than 500 giant hero sculptures standing on both sides of the mountain road, these heroic sculptures have witnessed the history and glory of the Grimm Empire for nearly a thousand years, and almost every hero sculpture has a glorious history behind it.Ma and Spee sat in the magic caravan, the two of them stuck their heads out the window, there were many magic caravans driving on the mountain road, and the speed was not too fast, and the two of them were tired of looking at each of the Grimm heroes on the mountain road.Whenever he recognized a hero, Spee would scream with excitement and chatter with the horses.The Imperial Capital is a holy place in the hearts of every Grimm Empire, and for Si Pei and Ma are no exception, the biggest dream of many Grimm people in their lives is to be able to go to the Imperial Capital to walk around, or take a look.The heroes are destined to have a vigorous and glorious life, and their glory has forged the history of the Grimm Empire.For the people of the North, the five most memorable hero names are, Xia Tun.
Ellie, cones.
Lie, Parubui, Komol, Rongyu.The statues of the five heroes not only stand on the mountain path of Majaro Mountain, but also sit in the largest square in the fifth district of Sloit, just like the names of many heroes are etched in the hearts of the people of the other provinces of the empire, they are the great heroes who have gone out from the northern province.Feeling the mountain breeze blowing on her face, a flush welled up on Si Pei's face, and she asked me excitedly: "Ji Jia, when you came to the imperial capital for the first time, were you so excited that you couldn't sleep like us?"
”I smiled at her, reached out and poured a glass of golden cider and added a few ice cubes to the glass, which clanged against the walls of the glass.I handed the golden cider to Spee and said to her, "I remember that the airship I was riding on met the rebels in the Ziqing Mountains on the way, and those rebels wanted to hijack the entire magic airship to the rebel stronghold in the Ziqing Mountains. ”These are experiences that I have never told before, and the horse was shocked when he heard it."
Ho, ho, ho, you don't seem to have ever told us about these things."
The horse said to me.I smiled and said to them: "Even more unfortunate is still to come, we had a fierce battle on the airship, and finally got the control of the airship, but unexpectedly, it was very unexpectedly attacked by the wind snakes, and the airship crashed on the edge of the Ziqing Mountain Range, but fortunately, the regulars in the airship survived." ”"Wow, that's thrilling."
Spee said with her eyes wide open.That experience, for the travelers on the airship, all wandered around the door of death, and survived dangerously.Caterina sat beside me and looked at me deeply, a story she had heard me about, and I had told her about Captain Mackintosh.I continued: "Because we were in a hurry to report from the Royal Academy of Magic in the Imperial Capital, we rode to San Carlos City on a magic ride, and then took a magic airship from San Carlos City to the Imperial Capital, and it happened to be at night when we arrived in the Imperial Capital, although we knew that the magic caravan was from these hero statues, and we didn't feel excited. ”"You mean we, besides you, were there any friends on the airship at the time?"
Spee caught my speech carefully, and said to me, "You had just left the city of El at that time, and we must have known your friends. ”"I met Princess Sand and Miss Sophie on the airship!"
I touched my nose and said to Spee."
Wow, it's our Royal Highness the Princess of Sloitt City!"
The horse exclaimed.It seems that everyone seems to have a strong interest in the secrets of the aristocratic family, even a magician like Ma who focuses on business, but I think it is necessary to change the topic, I don't want these things to be passed around and finally reach the ears of Duke Jingyue.The magic caravan climbed higher and higher, and when we looked out of the window, we could already look down on the whole view of the airport town at the foot of the mountain."
Look at your feet, horse!"
I said to the horse.I pointed to the caravans outside the airport town, and said to the horse: "This is not only a small town outside the imperial capital, but also the largest material distribution center in the Grimm Empire. ”The horse sat quietly in the magic caravan, and his eyes had been looking out the window since he got into the caravan, and his black eyes had become shiny inside.From the mountain road, you can clearly see that the foot of the mountain is full of large magic caravans and thunder rhino caravans, in order to earn two more copper plates for each product, many merchants are reluctant to rent warehouses to store their goods, so they will hoard goods outside the airport town, form a temporary base with large caravans, and will sell materials from thousands of miles away to the merchants in the airport town.After the outbreak of the Plane War, it is said that the trade volume on this side of the airport town has shrunk significantly, but even so, it is still a thriving scene."
Jijia, what do you think I can do here?"
Ma looked at the scene in front of him, the grand scene of the airport town, at this moment formed a powerful impact, which made him seem to have a kind of doubt and no confidence in himself."
It's great that you and Spee can come and help me."
I put my hand on the horse's shoulder and said to him kindly."
Originally, I planned for you to open a magic grocery store here in the imperial capital, mainly to sell copper hot pots, exhaust fans and such metal rune plates, magic scrolls, etc., and I will provide you with the supply."
I continued, "But something has happened to a trading firm here, and I hope you will get acquainted with the affairs of the trading house as soon as possible and help me manage it." ”"You want me to run a trading firm?"
Ma's eyes widened, and he said to me in a bit of a panic, "But I have no experience with it. ”I patted him on the shoulder again and reassured him: "Before you are familiar with the business of the trading house, someone will guide you, and the things in that business house are not too complicated, you only need to count the goods on the magic airship that arrived from the orcs of the Pai Plateau tribe every month, and then purchase the materials on it according to the list of goods passed over there, don't worry, we are the middlemen who make the difference, and how profitable it is, you have to personally participate to know." ”When I mentioned this, I was actually thinking that El City is also the owner of a unique geographical advantage.So I said to the horse, "Speaking of which, our city of El is the closest border city to the Pai Plateau, and all the caravans that come down from the Pai Plateau will pass by us, but no one has ever thought about what this trade route can bring us, we are familiar with the supplies that come out of the orc tribes, and we have seen the caravans that come out of the orc tribes, but there has never been a large caravan in the city of El. ”Ma argued: "We also have caravans in the city of El. ”I emphasized, "I mean at least fifty large caravans of thunderrhinos. ”Regarding the way of doing business, Ma still has some unique opinions of his own.Ma said, "Hey, this kind of big caravan can't be encountered a few times a year in El City!"
And even with such a large caravan, how can we gain the trust of those orcs on the plateau, it is also a very headache, just like we don't welcome the orc wanderers on the Pai Plateau, I'm afraid that the orcs on the Pai Plateau will not welcome our caravan either. ”I said to him, "That's why you need to study in this trading house, and maybe you will be able to understand the trade routes." ”Even though his words sounded a little empty, he made a promise."
Okay, I'll listen to you."
He said to me.The imperial capital in everyone's heart is different.The imperial capital in the hearts of the nobles is the first and second blocks, and the two blocks are located in the core of the imperial capital around the vast Weiyang Lake.In fact, for the central area of the imperial capital, where every inch of land is valuable, the closer it is to Weiyang Lake, the more vacant and large tracts of land there are, and there are less than 100 large manors built around Weiyang Lake Lakeside Avenue, and the land here is not something that can be bought with money, and only the top wealthy nobles of the Green Empire are qualified to live here.The imperial capital in the hearts of the commoners is in the sixth and seventh blocks, which are like windy circles around the moon on a windy night.The periphery of the imperial capital is home to a myriad of affordable and low-cost rental housing, free washbasins that provide drinkable fresh water around the clock, public toilets in sewers, a free market with cheap vegetables every day, and shops and workshops that the commoners who live in the capital usually make a living.The fifth district of the imperial capital in the hearts of the merchants, which is the most prosperous commercial place in the imperial capital, has the largest auction house in the Green Empire, the most luxurious opera house, the most top hotels and hotels, and the merchants who can gain a foothold in this commercial street are all rich lords.The teleportation hall of the astrologers' guild is also located here, and the imperial capital of the scholars is in the third block, where almost all the most famous academies are gathered, there is no doubt that the Royal Academy of Magic is almost the most beautiful dream in the hearts of all magicians, countless magicians dream of one day being able to study here, but the Grimm Empire is so big, there is only one Royal Academy of Magic, and the number of magical students enrolled in each province will not exceed three every year.Due to years of war, the population of the northern provinces is much different from that of the southern provinces, and the province of Sloit awakens about a few hundred magicians every year, which is more than double the number compared to some large southern provinces, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the magic students of the Royal Academy of Magic are one in a hundred.Ma and Si Pei's first stop in the imperial capital was the Royal Academy of Magic, and I took the two of them to walk around the academy, in front of the grass of the teaching building, in front of the door of the library, in front of the dining table in the dining hall, and in front of the semicircular light mask outside the Five Departments Ecological Park, Ma Du recorded their figures with image crystals.There are a lot more people in the Royal Academy of Magic who know me than I do, and when the members of the Ming Society meet me, they basically take a detour.Ever since William was defeated by me on the roof of the school building last summer, and Adele officially graduated from the Royal Academy of Magic, no one has dared to challenge me since I entered my second year of the academy.Prince George came to the Royal Academy of Magic to attend school and became the leader of the Imperial Capital Gang, but he and Quentin have rarely been seen in the academy recently.Ma and Si Pei and I chatted on a bench under the banyan tree next to the laboratory building, and when Ying Li finished his last elective class in magic potions, Ma and Si Pei both knew Ying Li's identity.As for one of the classmates of Princess Angelboy's royal family, Ma said to me, "Every time I think about it, it feels a little unreal." ”I smiled and asked Ma, "Would you like to take you to the lakeside manor of the Ying Li family, her sister Le Die is also our alumnus, and she spent some time in our academy as an exchange student of the Xinghai Academy of Magic." ”Ma sighed and sighed: "How could I not remember her, that Princess Le Die turned the War Magic Academy upside down, and it also caused a conflict between nobles and commoner students at that time, even if the current El City, the relationship between nobles and commoners is still very delicate, all of this is thanks to His Highness." ”It was one of the most memorable years in El City, when a group of outstanding students who graduated from the War College died in the battle when the barbarians invaded the north.I said to Ma: "In fact, the contradictions have always existed, but they are not so sharp, and the role of Le Die at that time was like a bottle of catalyst, sharpening all the contradictions, and many problems broke out at once." ”When I mentioned the things I used to talk about when I was in school, there were more topics to talk about, and time slipped through my fingers unconsciously.It wasn't until Caterina turned her head to look in the direction of the laboratory building that I realized that Ying Li might have finished class at this time, and I just turned my head to see a touch of white appear in front of me, Ying Li appeared in front of me wearing a pure white magic coat, and asked me with a happy face, "Hey, what are you talking about?"
Hi!
Horse.Hi Spee!
”"Hey, it's nothing, it's going to be out of class so soon!"
I hurriedly stopped the off-the-beaten-track topic.At this time, I saw a slim girl standing behind Ying Li, wearing a tight light leather armor, at first I thought it was Helena, but Helena would not only stand behind Ying Li, so I looked over and realized that it was actually "Le Die, why do you have time to come to the Royal Academy of Magic." ”I said to Le Die, who was quietly standing behind Ying Li.Le Die pursed her lips slightly, if it weren't for the familiar people around her, Jun An could see from her beautiful face like a hibiscus out of the water that she had a tyrannosaurus-like personality.Ying Li replied for her: "She came to ask me to go to the opera house with her, she graduated from the Advanced Swordsman Academy, and she has a lot of time." ”When Si Pei heard Ying Li say this, she thought she was going to the opera, so she said to Ying Li, "Are you going to the opera?"
”Ying Li smiled kindly, stood between Ma and Si Pei, and said to the two of them: "The old classmate has come all the way from the Northern Border Province, of course, I want to entertain you well. ”Then he asked me, "Jijia, what are your plans next?"
”Actually, I wanted to take Si Pei and Ma to the rented house first, settle them down, and then take a magic caravan to walk around the imperial capital, but because Le Die joined in, I said to Ying Li: "I'm waiting for you to discuss it after class!"
”Le Die looked at me with a smile before saying, "I've already booked Helena's restaurant, let's go fill our stomachs first, and then go to the Tower of Pride for a walk." ”
