The house has been sitting idle since Arya and little Ella moved out of the Third Block Villa, and the magic caravan was parked in the alley at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the cottage through the street lamp next to the street tree, and the courtyard looked dark.Pushing open the wooden doors of the courtyard, a faint touch of fresh green grew on the lawns on both sides of the stone road.Caterina walked into the courtyard first, and I led Ma and Spee into the courtyard, where they stood at the gate and looked at the three-story villa with surprised expressions.The roof of the pergola that Ruka the Minotaur had built under the eaves on the left had been torn down, leaving only an empty pine frame, but the large wooden bed had been preserved, and I took out of my bosom a bunch of keys and handed them to the horse, and said to him: "Until you find a better house, you will live here for the time being." ”Si Pei looked at the delicate wallpaper in the room, reached out and touched the handrail of the oak staircase at the door, looked up at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the living room, and asked me with a happy face: "If we can't afford to buy a house in the imperial capital, can we live forever?"
”I said, "Of course, you can stay as long as you like." ”Ma Mai walked into the living room, looking at the living rooms on both sides of the corridor, and said: "Since we gave up the magic grocery stores in El City and came to the imperial capital to start a business, if we can't live in a new house within half a year, it means that I don't adapt to the rhythm of life in the imperial capital, and when the time comes, I will buy two tickets for the magic airship, and I will go there wherever I get it, otherwise even if we barely live in this villa, we will not be able to sleep every night." ”"Hey, don't put so much pressure on yourself, take it easy, and believe in our business."
I put my hand on the horse's shoulder and walked with him into the living room.I reached out and turned on the magic wall lamp, and a warm light shone down from the wall, and then the magic wall on the living room wall lit up one by one.Ma took a deep breath and said to me with confidence, "Of course, I am more confident than ever," although the furniture in the living room was covered with a white cloth, the floor in the living room was spotless, and there was a bouquet of lilies on the corner cabinet at the door, and the water in the vase was clear and transparent, and the white buds were waiting to be released, which looked like they had just been inserted.Spee's love of the villa was the style of the interior, the furnishings, the curtains, the furniture, the oak floors and the big kitchen.Caterina and I did not stay long at the rented house, and although Ma still had much to talk to me about, thinking that he would have to get up to-morrow morning and go to the trading house to check the accounts, I said to Ma, "Rest well, and tomorrow morning Arya's maid, Miss Betty, will come here to fetch you." ”Because there was a magic class in the morning, I took Katerina back to the dormitory of the Royal Academy of Magic for the night.For a long time after the incident of Duke Ryan, the dormitory management system of the Royal Academy of Magic has become very strict, but that was already last summer, and now the dormitory of the Royal Academy of Magic has returned to its former state, as long as you don't do too much in the dormitory, the dormitory administrator will not care whether the female companion around her is a female magician on the upper floor of the dormitory.After taking a hot shower, Caterina lay down beside me in white suspender pajamas, her long red hair covered with soft pillows, she hugged me tightly from behind, she was like a gentle goddess of the night, her warm and soft arms had a hypnotic effect, so that I could sleep until dawn with my eyes closed.I was woken up from my sleep by a persistent knock on the door in the morning, and Caterina tried to get up to open the door, but I pressed one hand down to the bed."
You don't have a morning class, get some more sleep!"
I scrambled out of bed, put on my corn-colored Misoli magic robe, washed hastily, and squeezed out of the dorm door with a magic book in my hand.Noah and Senior Vernon stood in the hallway of the dormitory, smiling as they watched me walk out of the dorm room.Senior Vernon was holding a super heavy magic book, and the copper metal book cover was even inlaid with these magic gems, and the entire magic book cover was a huge magic rune, and the rich magic power overflowed from the magic book's magic circle.I know that Senior Vernon has more than just a simple magic book in his hands, it has been upgraded to a magic weapon, just like a wand and a magic sword, which can increase the speed of spell casting, increase the power of magic skills, make mental power more focused, avoid interruption of spell casting due to external interference, and so on.Most magicians like to wear light and simple magic wands, and some magicians like to wear a magic secret sword to make themselves look like a magic swordsman with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, but this kind of out-of-the-way magic book weapon is only used by a small number of magicians.First, its high price in the magic market is prohibitive for many mages, and secondly, it is more bulky and inconvenient to carry, and for those who are physically weak, this spellbook weapon with a metal cover looks like a brick.Of course, this kind of magic weapon in the category of magic book also has its value, and when fighting, turning the pages of the book can quickly throw out the magic stored inside, which often makes the opponent unable to guard against it.Unexpectedly, during this time, Senior Vernon actually got a magic book, which was very conspicuous in his arms."
I don't think I saw you live in the dormitory in this time."
Senior Vernon said with a smile on my shoulder, holding the magic book in one hand and putting the other on my shoulder.Noah leaned over from the other side, and the three of us walked out of the dormitory building shoulder to shoulder.Hearing Noah say that I had been to the Hiero plane during this time, Senior Vernon asked, "How was this trip to Hierro?"
”"The harvest is quite big."
I say.The three of us walked through the fountain in the dormitory building, and the magical students sitting by the fountain chatting had their eyes on us and greeted Senior Vernon.As the president of the Water Magic Society, Senior Vernon is still quite popular at the Royal Academy of Magic.He asked me curiously, "If you have any gains, let's hear about it." ”I smiled and said to him, "I killed a Spider-Man Overseer over there, does that count?"
”Senior Vernon knew what kind of ruthless character the Spider-Man Overseer was, and when he heard me hunt a Spider-Man Overseer in the Hiero plane, he exclaimed excitedly: "Wow, although it feels a little incredible, but a high-grade magic crystal and a large number of high-grade magic materials are firmly in the bag, which is really enviable!"
”Shirley.
Newman and her maid waited quietly across the fountain, and when they saw us coming, they hurriedly walked over to walk side by side with us, Noah was always able to see Shirley Newman at any time and place when he was at the Royal Academy of Magic, and she watched Noah very closely.However, Noah seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life, and after I said hello to Senior Vernon and Shirley, Noah asked me, "What is Louis looking for you?"
”"Let me help him make a few sets of magic pattern builds."
I replied unabashedly.Almost all the magic students of the Royal Academy of Magic know that as an assistant to the Jerkis Scholars of the Academy of Magic, I have the three sets of primary magic pattern construction methods of the Yerkis scholars, so I said that I would draw a few magic pattern structures for Louis, and even Senior Vernon was not surprised at all.Noah sighed lightly and said, "I guess it's probably the same thing, he is recently forming a Constructed Knights, planning to go to Angela to take many adventures, the family meeting rejected his plan, but there still seems to be no way to stop him, even if he doesn't use the power of the family now, he can still easily form a Constructed Knights." ”Noah had a pirate king's treasure in his hand, and he was quite wealthy in the Mensa family, and I thought Noah sighed because Louis wanted to borrow money from him, and asked him, "Louis said he needs you to support him?"
”"How can you!
He's Louis, and the whole Emerald Bay Trading House is his, and of course he doesn't look down on my savings. ”Noah waved his hand casually and said to me, "I just think he should stay in the imperial capital until he takes charge of the Mensa family." ”"Well, don't worry."
I said to Noah, "I told Senior Dylan that I would help him with the astrologer union during this time, so I will help Louis make the magic pattern construct, at least until this summer" A few of us chatted while walking towards the teaching building, and when we passed the grass in front of the teaching building, we unexpectedly saw Prince George and Quentin, Ivan, and Diego passing in front of us, Prince George recognized me at a glance, but it seemed that he didn't want to greet me, and when we passed by, He and Quentin looked at me with a smirk on their faces.The indifference I showed when I saw them probably made them think that I was still in the dark about the affairs of the Kig Trading Company, or that I was afraid to seek justice from them in person, and Prince George and Quentin looked at each other with a smug expression, raised their chins high, and walked past me.But Ivan and Diego had gloomy faces, and their eyes were like cold vipers, and they stared coldly at me, and then followed Prince George, passing us.They were also followed by a large number of members of the Ming Society, as if this year the Ming Society was one of the most popular societies in the Royal Academy of Magic.The members of the Ming Society were more or less aware of the festival between me and Ivan and Diego, and although they didn't dare to provoke me in person, their eyes were full of provocation.Senior Vernon knew about the festival between me and Ivan and Diego, and saw that we just wanted to kill each other with our eyes, and had no intention of making a move, so he glared at the people in the Ming Society with Noah.I said to them, "Prince George and Quentin seem to have been busy lately, too. ”Senior Vernon was the most well-informed in the Royal Academy of Magic, and he snorted twice with his nose before he said with great disdain: "Hmph, old Ryan seems to have worked quite hard to resist the demon army in the Warsaw plane. ”"Quentin this guy went around collecting magic herbs and making healing potions to send to the Warsaw plane, thinking that with Prince George's influence, he could casually walk sideways in the imperial capital magic market.""
Na Cheng thinks that these magic merchants in the Imperial Capital Magic Market don't buy Prince George's account at all, and they have recently been involved in a lawsuit to forcibly buy magic herbs, and it is said that the rest of the matter will be very troublesome."
I didn't expect that in addition to Prince George and Quentin buying magic herbs from the Qige Trading House in disgraceful means, this way of buying magic herbs also involved other trading houses, and it seems that there is quite a lot of strength behind that trading house.I asked Senior Vernon, "Why are Ivan and Diego's faces so bad?"
”Senior Vernon knew a lot about this matter, and when he mentioned it, he said to me with a fluttering eyebrow: "Speaking of which, it probably has something to do with the sluggish business of the rune board workshop opened by the two of them, the rune board workshop jointly opened by the two of them is currently in a bad situation, not to mention whether it is profitable or not, in my opinion, it seems that it is very difficult to even maintain the balance of payments, it is said that they need to take money from their pockets every month to supplement the rune board workshop, do you say their faces can be better?"
”Listening to what Senior Vernon said, I probably understood that the two of them's rune workshop was probably affected by my rune workshop, and their business was a little sluggish.At this time, Senior Vernon said again: "Such a rune workshop should be closed early, I can't figure out why they still insist!"
”Noah knew a little about this, so he said to me: "Speaking of which, Ji Jia, you have offended the junior masters of the imperial capital this time!"
”"I don't have a monopoly on the market of all the primary rune plates in the imperial capital, what reason do they have to hate me!"
I put on a nonchalant look and said, "Besides, since the last time I experienced the turmoil of the Fishskin Hood Life Demon Pattern Demonstration, they have shown that ugly appearance, and there is no reason for me to be a good baby and endure their bullying all the time." ”Senior Vernon listened to the fog and couldn't help but ask us, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Ji Jia, what did you do that made all the junior magicians in the imperial capital hate you?
”Noah didn't know about my Xinliu Valley Magic Seal Workshop, he thought that I was purchasing magic rune plates from outside the imperial capital, dumping them at the reserve price on the imperial capital, impacting the imperial capital rune plate market, and making it impossible for the junior inscription masters on the imperial capital side to draw the two magic rune plates of fire gathering and miniature tornadoes to make money.So he unceremoniously uncovered my old story and said to Senior Vernon: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that he opened a rune plate workshop, and is currently dumping copper hot pot and exhaust fans on the market at a price lower than the cost of production, resulting in the collapse of the production chain of these two types of magic items in the imperial capital, from the rune plate workshop to the finished product processing workshop of copper hot pot and exhaust fan, and now those workshops process a magic metal rune plate for each piece, or assemble a copper hot pot and exhaust fan, Ask the owners of those workshops to stick at least one silver hammer upside down in it. ”Senior Vernon was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, staring at me with a nouveau riche gaze, and his heart was slightly entangled, and he couldn't help but say to me: "Jijia, although I know that it is a bit inappropriate to say these words, but as a good friend, I still have to remind you, please be sensible." ”"Okay, I'll do what I can."
I was quite touched by Senior Vernon's worries, so I couldn't help but whisper to them: "Actually, I want to tell you that I still have a little profit by selling copper hot pots and exhaust fans at this price. ”"What?
Can you still make a profit at this price?
”Senior Vernon stared at me in disbelief.Noah blinked his eyes, lowered his voice and asked me: "Speaking of which, your weird magic rune board is really a bit confusing, I thought about it, and I didn't think that this kind of rune board had been seen in any genre on the side of the Ming Union, I guess Princess Yingli helped you contact the wizard of the Cana Sea Clan on the side of the Kana Sea Clan, and these runes were bought back by you from the bottom price of the Haiyin Silk City?"
”I didn't expect this to cause some trouble to Noah, so I told Noah the truth: "I made those talismans myself", "Don't forget if you don't want to say it, there's no need to find a reason to perfunctory me." ”When Noah heard my explanation, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at me, and then complained to me, "Even if you want to make up a reason, please don't make it up so casually!"
”"I was speechless.At this time, Senior Vernon took the opportunity to interject and said, "Hey, hey, let's tell us about this trip to Hierro."
