Tower of Arrogance, Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute.Every magician who comes here for the first time.You can't help but look up at the vaulted dome of the institute inlaid with magical gems like star charts, crossing the stone bridge full of quaint magic patterns, and the railings of the stone bridge on both sides are lit with magic wall lamps.I led Morayar along the stone bridge to the inside of the research institute, and saw that there was a group of buildings with different styles in the tower, Morayar seemed to be stunned by the strange buildings here, she looked left and right with curiosity, and asked me in a low voice, "You actually worked here as a magical assistant for a year." ”As I spoke to Morayal, I greeted the other magical assistants who approached me.I said to Morayal, "Yes!
From El City to the Imperial Capital, I came here to work as a magical assistant to the Yerkis Scholar, helping him draw some magical patterns. ”Many magical assistants pass by me and can't help but be drawn to Morayar standing beside me.Morayar is by no means the kind of beautiful girl as bright as Helena.She is the kind of woman with a delicate and feminine face, and she is full of intellectual beauty that only a female magician can have, and she can wear a dark green Calemian magic robe out of the taste of court evening dresses, but her words and deeds are down-to-earth and generous, and this unique charm on her body is exactly what young magicians can't resist.Morayar took me by the arm, walked along the marble path through the courtyard garden, and said to me, "Do you know that this is the most desirable academic temple for many magicians in the imperial capital?
”"Really?"
I asked with a blank look on my face.I didn't expect the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute to have such a high status in Morayal's heart.Morayar said in an unquestioning tone: "Of course, it is said that some magical new inventions are constantly being born here every moment of the day, and it is said that the magic of the Grimm Empire was born here. ”At this time, we happened to pass by the magic laboratory of the Hindji University Scholar, and the magic assistant of the Hindji University Scholar happened to be resting on the bench in front of the flower bed at the entrance of the laboratory, and I stopped to say hello to him.His gaze fell on Morayar, and he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore, looking exactly like a junior brother who had never seen a woman before.Morayar smiled implicitly at him, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve in disgust.I can't even complain, so I can only introduce Morayar to the most famous magic laboratory in this research institute.I said to her, "That is the magic laboratory of a Hindji University scholar, and he helped me successfully save a harpy, oh, that harpy is called Deborah, when Deborah broke free and flew in the imperial capital, touched the forbidden space circle, and was struck by a huge thunderbolt with only one breath. ”I gestured with my hand and said, "I ran to the Imperial Capital Research Institute with her in my arms and asked the scholars of Sinderji University to help me." ”In fact, that memory is still quite deep for me, especially the appearance of Rengar before he died, and he did not hesitate to make a deal with me in order to protect his daughter.I said to Morayal, "The Hindki scholars helped me change her into a Hell Succubus's body, leaving only the head of the Harpy and a pure white wing, but now she looks like she's recovering well. ”Morayal furrowed her eyebrows slightly, and her every expression was natural and vivid.She's the kind of well-informed magician who knows everything.When we talked about the Harpy, she said to me, "Harpy?
How did you know a harpy?
I heard that this kind of monster has the blood of the demon clan in its body, and it is naturally ferocious, despicable, and cunning, and they generally live in the inaccessible high cliff eagle nest. ”I didn't know where to start, so I grabbed my hair and thought about it seriously, "This story is a bit long, so it starts with a liger elder I met on the Pai Plateau, Rengar" I told Morayar the story of Rengar, about the imperial capital last summer.I took Morayar to the magic laboratory of the Yerkis Scholars.A Yerkes scholar is hand-adjusting a magic lamp on a test bench.I remember that at the beginning, the Yerkes scholars were very dismissive of life magic items, believing that only the lowest magicians would study life magic.But through this period of contact and exploration, he has developed a strong interest in these life magic, we have invented two companion magic patterns in the mysterious magic book, these companion magic patterns are subtly changing the imperial people's perception of magic, magic is moving towards life.Unexpectedly, the Yerkis scholar recognized Morayar at a glance, and he beckoned us to the test bench to admire his newly designed magic lamp.Morayar looked at the magic pattern circle on the magic rune board on the back of the magic lamp.The Yerkes scholar explained, "This is the simplest shimmering technique, and every magician knows this simple magic. ”Morayar touched the smooth lines on the magic pattern, feeling a trace of magic flowing on it, when her fingertips touched the magic lines, the magic table light source dimmed slightly, and when she also put her other finger on the magic lines of the rune board, the magic table lamp could only emit some faint light.The Yerkes scholar went on to say to us: "For kerosene lamps and candles, the magic table lamp has a more stable light source, and there is no choking smell of waxy oil, which is safer and more convenient to use, and there are already many aristocratic families in the imperial capital who use it. ”Scholar Yerkis glanced at me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said to Morayar, who was bending down to examine the magic lamp, "Now, Jiga and I want to promote this magic lamp, which in the future can even replace candles as an indispensable lighting tool for every family night." ”I also echoed and said: "The people of the imperial capital are more receptive to new things, and the living standards of the residents here are slightly better than those in other areas, so this kind of magic table lamp should have a certain market in the imperial capital." ”Sitting down on a chair next to the bench, the Yerkes scholar said, "The only thing that restricts the widespread use of this magic lamp is its price, so we have been thinking about keeping it to a minimum." ”Morayar looked around the magic lamp for a long time before she couldn't help but ask, "Scholar Yerkes, what is the source of the magic power of this magic lamp?"
”The Yerkes scholar reached out and put down the magic lamp, revealing the gem-setting groove in the base, and pointed to a magic crystal fragment inside, and said, "Here, this is a magic crystal fragment. ”"Not every family can afford to use magic crystal shards, and this is just a magic table lamp, if all the candles are replaced with magic table lamps, ordinary families probably can't afford this extra consumption."
Morayar said with a slight frown."
We've been looking for ways to reduce the amount of mana we consume, but we can actually minimize the amount of mana."
I explained to Morayal."
What is the minimum?
Barely consumes Shard Shards?
”Morayar asked me with a smile.I nodded at her and said, "Almost!"
”She stood on the edge of the test bench, stunned to look at the magic lamp in front of her with warm colors, and was silent for a while before asking me, "When will this magic lamp appear in the magic market?"
”"It won't be long, maybe this summer, maybe a little later, but at the latest it won't be more than this fall's coming-of-age ceremony."
I stood next to me and said to Morayal."
Then remember to give me one when the time comes."
Morayal's delicate face reflected in the light, and her skin was delicate.I said to Morayal: "If you want, I can give it to you now, there are so many samples of this kind of trial production in the laboratory." ”As he spoke, he opened the curtain on the side of the wall, and a row of shelves stood against the wall filled with all kinds of magic table lamps, which were designed by Yerkes scholars in the past two months, one after another, and the metal rune plates and associated magic patterns that I drew on each table lamp, and the magic crystal fragments on some table lamps were simply an ornament.Morayar admired the magic lamps on the shelves, but had no intention of taking them.At this time, the scholar of Yerkes stood by the test bench and said to us, "You are not here to discuss these magic lamps, are you?"
”Morayar and I both turned our heads to look at us, and he shrugged at us and suggested, "Why don't we get a tavern for a drink?"
”"Okay!"
Morayar replied very simply, and then she asked me, "Jijia, you don't drink as much as you used to, and you get drunk with a glass of low golden cider, as before?"
”"Huh!
It's kind of better now. ”I said to her with a weak heart.Without hesitation, the Yerkes scholar revealed my bottom and said to Morayal: "Actually, he is still the same, you are obviously a native of El, but he doesn't like to drink golden cider very much, I really don't understand why." ”The backstreets of the Tower of Pride are pubs, hotels, restaurants, prostitutes.
There are many courtyards and small casinos, and it becomes particularly noisy and lively at night.Standing in the shadows against the stone pillars by the wall, when she sees a target passing by, she will stand out from the shadows and show her figure and face to others, and if she is picked, she will take the customer's arm and turn around and walk down the dark alley.The bars and restaurants in the backstreets are quite good, and the taverns here are quite popular, especially in the innermost tavern in the backstreet, order a large barrel of special barley wine with shredded eel, even if you drink it all night, you will not get drunk.Pushing open the tavern door and entering, there was a strong smell of ale, and the seats in the tavern hall were almost full, and the three of us looked around and saw that even the booths in the far corners were occupied, and almost every table was full of wine glasses.We couldn't find an empty seat, and we were about to turn away, but we saw Ivan, Diego, and Jimmy drinking together, and there were several beautiful girls sitting next to each of them, who didn't look like the witches in the Royal Academy of Magic, but these beauties had outstanding temperaments, and they were chatting and laughing.Ivan and Jimmy happened to see me standing in the door of the tavern, and they deliberately avoided my gaze.I stopped at the door for a short moment, and under their surprised gazes, I walked directly in front of them.Ivan and Diego looked at me nervously and with hostility on their faces as if they had eaten fly droppings."
Hey, it's not too early, aren't you all planning to go back to the Royal Academy of Magic?"
I said to Ivan and Diego with a smirk.Both of them almost turned green with anger and glared at me with clenched fists, then stood up from their seats with a look of resentment and said to Jimmy and the other two new faces, "Let's go." ”With that, Ivan hurriedly left the bar with his friends without looking back.A bartender with a bill in both hands hurriedly trotted out, and the first rays of the morning sun shone through the glass windows on the oak floor, and the faint smell of paint filled the room.There were a few glass bottles of golden cider scattered on the floor, and some disheveled women's clothes beside them, light blue ice deer leather boots fell next to the wooden door, and the exquisitely made Calemian magic robe was crumpled on the beige fabric sofa.I was wearing a pair of light red yarn bloomers and was barefoot on the floor.Pushing open the window facing the street, a wisp of morning breeze blows in with a faint fragrance of hibiscus flowers, and the world seems to come alive all at once."
Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Morayal asked me as she sleepily slipped out of the covers.Her long, chestnut hair looked a little messy, and she sat up against the head of the bed, squinting at me.I slipped a white shirt over my head to save buttons.Then he said to Morayar, "There is a morning class today, and Mrs.
Woolley is going to prepare to teach the pronunciation of magic spells, and if I don't go to the class, I guess this magic class will be difficult to pass." ”When Morayar heard Mrs.
Woolley's name, she sneered and said, "Lady Woolley is still teaching at the academy!"
I remember when she was in school, she was the tutor of Charms, and after so many years, she was still standing still, which is probably related to her bitterness. ”"What's your plan for today?"
Before going out, I asked her.Morayar thought seriously for a moment and said to me, "I'm going to visit some friends in the morning, and I'm going to go to the magic dealer in the afternoon, and I have a batch of magic materials on hand, which must be disposed of as soon as possible before the magic power disappears." ”"It's hard to follow the expedition group in the Wild Swamp, isn't it?"
Hearing her say this, I asked with some feeling, thinking that she was facing those third- and fourth-level demonic beasts with an adventuring group in the wild swamp, and I didn't know what kind of danger she was facing.She smiled, shook her head, and said to me, "It's okay, don't forget I'm a wood magician!"
