The pale blue magic glow flowed along the magic patterns on the rune board, and a faint magical glow was transmitted from the neat window pages.
Director Marion still had a look of disdain on his face, thinking that I was obviously wasting his time by taking out such a large exhaust fan.As a member of the Marion family, Jonah .
Marion looked confident in front of me, his pointed and white chin slightly raised, so that the large nostrils under the hooked nose were facing me, and his dark eyes were hidden in the dark green eye sockets, looking like an owl that lacked sleep.With his hands folded on the table, his fingers restlessly tapping on the tabletop, he looked a little impatient.After taking a deep breath, he asked me in a deep voice, "Is that all there is to it?"
”I nodded, stared at the large exhaust fan on the walnut square table, and didn't speak.Jonah.
Marion casually pressed his hand on the lid of the exhaust fan, and was about to say something, but at this time he was stunned, his eyes were staring at the hand pressed on the lid, a faint layer of hoarfrost spread from the lid, and his hands were also stained with that layer of hoarfrost, and the frost mist turned into water vapor on his arm, but he really felt the cool and cold wind.There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and his voice became precipitated, and he asked me with a serious face, "What is this?"
”I stretched out a finger, tapped on the exhaust fan, and slowly introduced to the head of the logistics department of the Royal Opera House: "This is a magic machine that can produce cold air, I named it an air conditioner, which can make the room very cool, of course, this magic machine also has certain limitations, due to the limited cooling capacity, it is not suitable for outdoor places." ”The cold wind had already caused the temperature in the room to plummet, and the oncoming cold wind made Marion shiver twice.His teeth chattered as he spoke: "This box is called an air conditioner?"
It sounds pretty good, and the cooling effect is also very good. ”He took a white handkerchief from his jacket pocket, wiped his nose vigorously, and reached out to fasten the open buttons of the gown.The arrogance in his eyes disappeared, and he looked seriously at the box in front of him, which was called the air conditioner, and asked me with a straight face: "If I think the room is too cold, can I let the cold air weaken a little?"
”"Of course, there is a wind control valve on the window page, and you can turn this knob to reduce the cold air."
I'm right with Jonah.
Marion said.With that, I reached out and turned the knob to let the window page fall a little, and the cold air blowing out of the box suddenly decreased a lot."
It's an interesting idea, and it solves a big problem for our opera house."
Marion sat up straight, he looked at the large wooden box in front of him seriously and full of novelty, and said to me, "I'm sorry, I retracted what I said about this magic machine, it's a good idea, I think you brought it to me, do you want to sell me this air conditioner?"
”Although the logistics director of the Royal Opera House reveals a sense of arrogance in his bones, it has to be said that he is the kind of gentleman who dares to admit his mistakes.I nodded and said, "That's right, I got this air conditioner here to sell it to the opera house." ”He was amazed as he said, "It would have been nice to have this magic machine come out sooner, and now the whole summer is almost over, but this thing is what the opera house desperately needs right now."
So how many units do you have in total?
Once our opera house is confirmed to be purchased, there will definitely not be a few of them, and the entire theater hall will need at least dozens of them. ”Jonah.
Marion rubbed his hands together vigorously and said to me, "Yes, this is exactly what I want." ”When asked how many air conditioners I was talking about at the moment, I couldn't help but rub my nose, in fact, this air conditioner was also temporarily assembled last night.The five sets of wooden boxes that Murray had ordered from the carpenter's workshop were delivered to me yesterday afternoon, and five prototypes were assembled at once, two of which I had broken when I improved them, and the only one that could be brought out of the remaining three prototypes.The Royal Opera House has always been sought after by the nobles of the imperial capital, almost every day the opera is full, I want to open up the situation in the imperial capital magic market as soon as possible, the Royal Opera House is definitely a golden sign, as long as the first batch of air conditioning can be installed in the opera house, so that the nobles who come to listen to the opera can feel the benefits of the air conditioner, I believe that soon the nobles will realize the benefits of air conditioning.Even if ordinary civilians know the benefits of air conditioning, but the price of a few gold coins at every turn, the consumption level of the vast majority of civilians in the imperial capital is not yet up to the level where you can afford to buy an air conditioner.That's why I set my sights on the Royal Opera House so that these aristocrats who come to the opera can feel the benefits of air conditioning.I said to Marion: "At present, I only have such a functional prototype in my hand, if I think the air conditioning function is okay, I will immediately arrange for the assembly and production of the rune board workshop" Marion didn't seem to hear what I was saying at all, he was completely immersed in his own thoughts, and after a while, he raised his head and said to me: "Why don't we go to the theater hall now to have a look, estimate how many of these air conditioners are needed in the theater hall, and I can wait for other air conditioners, But at the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the theater hall can be installed as soon as possible. ”Marion is the kind of person who likes to think when he encounters problems, and when he learned about the benefits of this air conditioner, he immediately wanted to dig deeper, so he asked me, "But is this air conditioner only cooling?"
After all, we have as long winters here as we do in summer, and it would be nice if this thing could blow hot air in the winter. ”He didn't even need me to take the initiative to guide him with the topic, and he went straight to the point.I deliberately delayed for a moment before I said: "This is also okay, when winter comes, just remove the magic crystal fragments from the continuous frost talisman plate in the air conditioner and reinstall it on the gem pedestal of the lava surging talisman plate inside, so that the wind blowing out of the box is the warm air" Marion's eyes widened, but he didn't expect that this big wooden box could really blow hot air just by asking.Jonah.
Marion decided to go inside the theater hall before I left to actually take a look, at least these air-conditioned boxes could not be hung directly on the walls around the theater hall, that would affect the decoration of the whole theater, how to hide these large boxes in the theater hall, Marion thought that this was also a problem that I needed to solve.So Director Marion took me from the back office of the back office to the backstage of the opera house, and we passed several dressing rooms along the way.Inside the dressing room, there are rows of clothes racks filled with colorful costumes.The room was packed with warblers of all skin tones, and some dancers and singers crowded into the benches to begin to prepare for the make-up before the show.Many of the dancers changed their costumes on stage in these rooms with the help of their assistants, and we passed in front of a row of dancers who were leaning against the wall practicing their dance moves, and some bold and well-dressed girls showed us their enthusiasm, and I felt a fine sweat on my forehead.The famous dancers and singers have their own dressing rooms, and only these dressing girls use the dressing tables in the dressing room.They were just wearing tight corset busts, and they saw Director Marion passing by with me, and they didn't dare to provoke him because they knew what kind of person Director Marion usually was, but they were so bold that they held up the cups on their chests with both hands, and kept throwing winks and kisses at me.The room was filled with noisy sounds and strong perfume smells, and even the narrow passages were crowded with people, and when I walked into the backstage, I felt a wave of heat rushing towards me, making people feel a little short of breath.Director Marion, who was walking in front, shrugged his shoulders at me helplessly, and he kept walking in front of me, leading me from the backstage into the theater hall as fast as he could.As the largest opera house in the Grimm Empire, there are seven or eight hundred actors alone, in addition to makeup artists, prop masters, bands and some logistics support and waiters in the theater hall There are also nearly four or five hundred waiters.The theater hall of the opera house is a hall that can accommodate 1,500 spectators at the same time, the first floor can seat about 1,200 spectators, and the second, third, and fourth floors have nearly 30 private rooms, which are fan-shaped around the theater stage.Director Marion pulled me to stand on the stage, all the magic chandeliers in the theater hall were on, a group of waiters were sitting in the audience to clean up, there were some lighting and prop masters on the stage to set up the pre-opening setup, and many of the backdrops were remarked and rolled up.When the person in charge of the scene saw that Director Marion was taking me into the theater hall at this time, he asked Director Marion with some dissatisfaction, and told him that he should not bring outsiders in to visit before the opera began, but Director Marion did not ignore the man at all, pointed to the wall around the theater auditorium, and said to me: "I want to install an air conditioner every five meters around this wall."
Director Marion finally signed a magic contract with me with a quill covered in ink to order 500 air conditioners.I knew it would be a big order, but I didn't expect this first order to be so big, mainly because of the opera house's deep pockets.This was my first air-conditioning order, and by the time I left the Royal Opera House, where a beautiful melody was already ringing, I walked briskly down the stone steps of the opera house, boarded a magic caravan on the side of the road, and hurried to the rune workshop to find Murray.The period for ordering the magic contract signed by the Imperial Capital Opera House is very short, and the rune workshop must hurry up to make it.At this time, it also depends on the special wooden box on the side of the carpenter's workshop to be supplied in time.Fortunately, Murray has expanded the number of carpenter's workshops we work with from three to five, mainly to avoid any surprises.On the third day after the contract was signed, Murray personally led the installers in the workshop to install twenty air conditioners on the fan-shaped wall of the opera hall in the morning, before the opera house was still open.When all 20 air conditioners were in operation in the theater lobby, some parts of the theater became cooler.In the next few days, after Murray installed 120 air conditioners on the walls of the theater hall of the opera house, the temperature of the entire theater hall was already extremely comfortable, and those aristocrats who often went to the opera house to listen to opera were the first to notice the changes that had taken place in the opera house.In the past, the opera house cooled the theater hall in a very direct way, that is, to place ice cubes in all corners of the theater hall, but now those ice tables have disappeared one by one, but the theater hall can always be kept cool, those nobles don't know why, occasionally when chatting, they will lead the topic to this, and everyone has speculated about how the opera house did it.It was under such circumstances that the air conditioner produced by the rune workshop officially entered the eyes of the nobles, but these nobles immediately discovered the benefits that air conditioning could bring, and some nobles wanted to install some of these air conditioners in their manor mansions, and when they went to the magic market to look for air conditioners, they found that there were no merchants selling this so-called air conditioner in the magic market.Some things are like this, if you take the initiative to take the air conditioner to the various magic shops in the imperial capital to sell, no matter how good this thing is, I am afraid that the merchant will look at it with a questioning eye, and then say in a charity-like tone: Oh, it's not easy to see you, just leave two to try sell, if you can't sell it, these two air conditioners will definitely have to be returned.But if the merchants find a business opportunity and start looking around for these air conditioners, once they find them, no matter how bad this thing is, they will also snap it up, and at the end of the day, they will untie the money bag on their waists, leaving a lot of deposits, and no one will mention it at any time: Oh, if they can't sell it, these two air conditioners will definitely be returned.If that's the case, Murray will probably only send two words: Get out!
In this way, before the end of the summer vacation, this new thing called air conditioning was a hit in the Royal Opera House in the imperial capital, and in just a short week, it became the fourth best-selling product of the Charm Workshop.Those magic shops that originally had a supply and sales contract with Murray obviously had a greater advantage in this ordering event, they could place orders and pick up the goods directly from the rune workshop, while those magic shops that usually had no contact with the rune workshop could only wait in line at the rune workshop
