Chapter 36: Performance
"No, Brother Meier, I don't have that much cash on me, I'm afraid we'll have to go back to Village 29 to trade. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Yu Changnian's words made Euris breathe a sigh of relief, and she pretended to be absent-minded, touching the long ears on the top of her head to interrupt the conversation between the two.
"Can you two be faster? I'm busy and want to get the deal done quickly. β
Yu Changnian's eyes rolled and he smiled.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I wonder if you are interested in this batch of cotton?"
Uris had already been in the Yu Chang Nian Dang once, so her answer was much more cautious this time.
"So what? What if not? β
"It's nothing, I just think that if you are not interested in this batch of cotton, Brother Maier will not be able to do this business, and I am afraid that I will find a random merchant in Augsburg and clear this batch of goods."
Yu Changnian's words seem to be worried about Myr, but in fact they are warning Uris that if you don't take a stand, Mel will probably sell the goods to other merchants.
In fact, after leaving Ulis here, Maier went to the local market and roughly figured out the price of Ira's red cotton. Even if Euris doesn't buy it, he can sell the cotton at a slightly lower price. Anyway, his purchase price is very low, and he can make a lot of money even if he sells at a low price.
Uris didn't want the cooked duck to fly, so she had to make a slight concession, saying that she could buy Mel's cotton by the way. After this, Uris and Maier finalized the sale of dyed pottery, and the price of Ira's red cotton. Since Maier still had to buy a musket from Ullis, he had to make some concessions on the price.
"Now let's talk about the next deal."
Mel didn't tell Yu Changnian about exchanging goods for muskets, so when Uris said this, he glanced at Maier in surprise. Mel smiled apologetically at Masayu and began to talk to Euris about the musket business.
Yu Changnian's eyes lit up when he heard that the two were actually talking about the musket business, but then his eyes dimmed again. The musket is definitely a good thing for the Twenty-Nine Village, and Yu Changnian has long wanted to form a musket squad to strengthen the defense of Nami Castle, but Nami Jushi thinks that the maintenance cost of the musket team is too high, so he does not adopt Yu Changnian's suggestion.
In the end, Maier exchanged the goods of the Heyan family for ten Dugu muskets and three hundred sets of ammunition, and his own goods for two muskets and fifty sets of ammunition, and the two agreed to inspect and deliver the goods at Fort Crown at noon tomorrow.
After the business was settled, Mel noticed Euris's high collar. He had seen Euris fiddling with her collar more than once during business talks, and he didn't seem used to it. Mel didn't want to say anything in front of Ulis, so she kept pretending not to see it. But because Urris's collar had been fiddled with so many times, the button on the collar was opened, and the collar that had been tightly fitting together was loosened.
From the angle where Yu Changnian was, he could only see the collar on the inside. But when he looked at it from Myer's point of view, he saw a few purple-blue bruises clinging to Euris's snow-white neck.
Birthmark?
This possibility was quickly dismissed by Mel, for the last time Uris had been dressed in a low-necked gown, and her neck was still snow-white.
Is that a bruise?
Mel was shocked. Euris is the princess of the Kingdom of Urgus, who would dare to do anything to her?
Could it be that she was assassinated?
Myr knew that this was very unlikely. Most of the Assassins' goals were to kill their targets and survive, and they would not come into close contact with their targets unless absolutely necessary, as it would be difficult for them to survive if they did.
Although Uris has been undercutting prices when talking about business, this is a very normal thing for a businessman, and Mel does not hate her or hate her for it. Besides, Euris is very cute, and belongs to the type that will be liked even if she is unreasonable.
It's pitiful for such a lovely girl to not be able to wear nice clothes because of the bruises on her neckβwith that in mind, Maier said to Euris.
"Your Highness Princess, I don't think I told you anything about my father, did I?"
Uris was stunned for a moment when she heard Myer's words, she had thought that Maier would take the initiative to leave after the business was done, how could she have thought that he would suddenly mention his father's matter. Yu Changnian wanted to leave directly, but as soon as he heard that Maier was going to talk about Gray? Byrons's matter, quickly sat back on the butt that had been raised.
"Well, I really didn't say that." Euris patiently replied, "Your father seems to be a very powerful man, right?" β
"Everybody said he was a great man." "But to me, my father was a strict teacher, and he was very strict when he taught me Rytin's magic, and he often punished me in various ways. β
Grace? Byron is a father who will teach his children harshly-Yu Changnian on the side quietly took this information to heart, and then continued to prick up his ears to listen to Meier's speech.
"But thanks to him, I can become a Letting Wizard - of course, I don't have a magician certificate, so I'm not a real Letin Magician, and I should be considered a 'heretic' strictly speaking."
"Heresy?" Ulis repeated the obviously derogatory word in confusion, "Why?" Your father taught you magic, you learned magic, aren't you a magician? Why do you want to call yourself a heretic? β
"Because I don't have a diploma from the Wizard's Academy." Maier smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "In the eyes of the Letin Magicians Association, a person who doesn't have this graduation certificate is not a Lighting magician. Anyone who does not have a diploma and claims to be a Lytin magician is considered a heretic by them. β
Uris, who had never left the kingdom of Egus since birth, immediately became interested in Myr's words. She looked at Mel with interest and asked him, "Are they going to burn you?" β
"No, they won't, but they'll duel with me." Maier shrugged, "But with my current level, even if I can't beat them, it's still okay to save my life." β
"What kind of magic do you know?"
Mel's eyes lit up when he heard Euris's question, and he was waiting for Euris's words.
"I don't have many types of magic, but they are all more practical. If Her Royal Highness doesn't like it, I can perform a few magic tricks for you. β
Although Euris is a princess and can manage the entire kingdom for Ramogis, she is a young girl after all. How could she, who had never seen magic firsthand, resist the temptation of such a novelty?
"Well, let me see your heretical Leiting magic."
Uris clapped her hands twice, and the maids standing on either side of the hall immediately brought snacks and hot tea to the conference table like a trick, but Yu Changnian and Maier did not have a share.
"Let's get started."
Euris picked up a piece of snow-white pastry and took a gentle bite. Looking at her posture, she completely regarded Maier as a trickster. Mel didn't care, got up from his seat and saluted Euris, and then began the show unhurriedly.
He first showed off the most basic magic flare in Leyting's magic. He asked the maids to close the curtains in the hall to enhance the show. The maids looked at Euris in embarrassment, and only after the latter's consent did they close the curtains, and then gathered nervously around Euris, for fear that someone would take advantage of the bad light to attack their master.
After the light in the hall dimmed, Maier constructed a magic flare that would not disconnect from him, and controlled it to levitate in the air, bringing some light to the hall. After this, Maier constructed several magic flares with different structures, and when he infused them with dominating power, these magic flares emitted different colors of light.
As Gray once said, there could be an infinite number of structures that could make magical elements glow. But he forgot to say the second half of the sentence, which is that magical elements can also emit countless kinds of light. Magic flares are sometimes used as flares, and in order to increase the variety of signals available, the Ryding mages have long since developed a way to make magic flares emit colored light.
Mair controlled the colored magic flares around the white glowing magic flares, rotating around it at a constant speed, then gradually increasing their speed, creating a colored aura on the outside of the magic flare in the center.
Colored light is not common in the first place, and the scenery that Meier shows is even more rare. Everyone in the hall was stunned by this fantastic scene, and Yu Changnian forgot about Gray for the time being? In the case of Byrons, the guards forgot their duties, the maids let their guard down, and even Euris opened her mouth wide and let out a long "oh" sound.
It didn't take long for Maier to disconnect from the colored flares, and those colored flares would spin for a while. Maier took advantage of this opportunity to quietly build a special magic arrow behind his back, which was not used to assassinate Urris, but to show off the next show.
The light of the color ** flare became dimmer and dimmer, and finally disappeared. The people in the hall felt very sorry, but before they could sigh, Maier sent the constructed magic arrow to the top of the white ** magic flare, and then slowly fell, coinciding with the magic flare.
In fact, strictly speaking, the magic element has no volume. Although the Magicians of Leiding often say that the elements of magic are scattered in the air, the elements of magic are really just a conceptual substance similar to magnetic lines, and the magician can sense their presence and prove their existence, but in reality they do not exist.
Therefore, the magic flare has no volume, and it glows because the magic element was constructed into a specific structure by the Ryding mage, and it was activated by the infusion of dominance. In order for a magical element to become a presence that can be touched like a magic arrow, it must be designed into a specific structure.
Just as the magic flare began to coincide with the magic arrow, colorful pillars of light suddenly emitted from the magic arrow. They wrap the magic arrows in a colorful ball of light. Mel controlled the magic arrow to rotate slowly, and the colored orb of light moved with it.
In fact, the dispersion of light has long been known to the magicians of Leiding, and Mel is no exception. He only needs to build the magic arrow into a specific structure, and then control the lighting range of the magic flare, and he can easily create such a scene.
While the audience was stunned by his performance once more, Maier felt that it was almost time, so he disconnected himself from the magic flares and magic arrows, and walked towards Euris with a smile.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the next show needs your cooperation, I wonder if you can enjoy it?"
Ullis's emotions had already been aroused by Myer's show, she nodded happily, and then gracefully stretched out her little hand to Mel and asked him to help herself up. Maier respectfully took Euris's delicate little hand and asked her to stand up with her palm.
Mel led Ulis to the bottom of the colored orb, which had begun to dim, but this time the audience did not feel sorry, because they knew that Mel was about to perform a third show.
"It's rude, Your Highness Princess."
Mel walked up behind Euris and placed his hands on her neck. He built a luminous structure based on Euris's silhouette and injected the power of domination into it, so that Euris's body glowed.
Euris was startled by the scene and wanted to touch her body. At this moment, Maier whispered in her ear, "Your Highness Princess, please don't move, the light will disappear." β
The heat in her ears made Urlis's legs weak, and the two long ears on the top of her head, which were similar in shape to rabbit ears, were her sensitive areas, and she didn't feel anything when she touched them, but if she was touched by others, she would have a strong sense of stimulation.
The maids would have been worried about her sudden collapse, so Euris leaned back, put all her weight on Myer's arms, and tried her best to adjust her breathing to look normal. At this time, Euris suddenly felt a cool feeling in her neck. She thought it was the effect of magic, so she didn't care.
Actually, this is Maier using healing magic. The healing magic in Rytin's magic is not like Ira's ability, Ira's ability can be said to be a cure, but Rytin's magic cannot. Because the healing magic in the Letin magic is a special method to stimulate the body of the injured and sick, activate and strengthen its self-healing function, if the illness or injury is too serious, or if the body of the patient or injured person is too weak, the Letin magic will not work.
