66. The price of the princess

Life in the imperial capital is plain and busy, and it seems that nothing has changed except for the addition of two beautiful girls in the garden of the courtyard.

Arya and Betty had to rush early in the morning to deal with the backlog of several days in the weaving workshop.

I didn't even have time to say 'good morning' to little Ella before I took Caterina to the Royal Academy of Magic for morning class.

A magic teacher stood on the podium of the lecture hall and kept using magic to draw strings of runes on the blackboard, each with a unique scale, and he led us to recite it over and over again on the podium, constantly making sure that everyone in the classroom was pronouncing the rune words correctly.

These familiar runes of magic were constantly beating at my fingertips, and I knew each rune language very well, and I needed to use them a lot when I was drawing the magic pattern structure, and I could even pick out some of the minor problems that the magic teacher had with drawing these runic words on the blackboard.

Noah sat next to me and covered his face with a heavy magic book, and asked me in a low voice where I had been running for the past two days, and why I had not been found.

I smiled at him and whispered that I had been to the airport town for the past two days and had received a new batch of magical herbs.

Before Noah could continue to whisper, he was named by the magic teacher on stage.

The magic teacher asks him a very tricky question, and if it weren't for Shirley Newman quietly telling Noah the answer, he might have been punished in class this time.

......

At noon, I refused Noah's invitation to have lunch together, and I ran non-stop to the dock on the shore of Weiyang Lake.

When I arrived at the dock, I found that the entire dock was empty.

Except for the guards on duty, all the shipwrights actually had a holiday today.

The guards at the dock gate told me that the second boat on the dock of Weiyang Lake had already gone for sea trials.

According to the shipwrights at the dockyard, the teleportation hub system was not assembled until last night, and Senior Dylan and the Prince of Wales led a team of elite constructed knights to board the teleportation ship and teleported an entire ship of supplies to the Lochic plane.

When the teleportation ship passed through the rift in time and space, lightning and thunder thundered on the surface of Weiyang Lake, and a huge thunderbolt gate was accompanied by a violent roar, and the nobles living on the shore of Weiyang Lake were almost awakened.

Unexpectedly, the second teleportation vessel was installed so smoothly, and I stepped out of the dockyard and boarded a magic caravan waiting on the side of the road.

Caterina asked me, "Where are we going next?"

"The Tower of Arrogance, the Imperial Capital Magic Academy. I sat in the car and said to Katarina.

......

In the magic laboratory.

The Yerkes Scholar has reworked some refinements on the rune board blueprint with the effect of the Constant 'Frost' magic.

On a one-foot-square blank copper rune plate, I carefully drew a different 'frost' magic pattern circle.

Truth be told, the 'Frost Scroll' is the magic scroll I've drawn the most in my life, and once I'm in working mode, I can even draw a Frost Scroll on magic parchment with my eyes closed.

Now, this 'Frost' magic has finally taken a new twist, and the biggest difference from the previous one is that the Magic Rune Board gives it a continuous magic effect.

That's right, that's exactly what I wanted.

Whether it is a refrigerator, a freezer, or an ice room, you need to have such an ice attribute magic rune board, and frost magic is a secondary magic, and the biggest feature of this magic is low magic consumption.

"It looks really perfect!"

I almost pressed my face to the rune board, feeling the ice magic elements flowing from the magic patterns on the rune board, the ice mist flowing down the rune board like a spring, and the temperature in the laboratory gradually decreased.

"Maybe I won't have to wait until next month for my rune board workshop to be able to make this 'frost' magic rune board in batches. I said to the Yerkes scholars.

"No...... It's not done yet, it's not a full 'frost' magic rune board yet. Scholar Yerkes said, turning the copper rune plate over the test bench and placing the blank magical copper plating on the back in front of me.

My eyes widened as I looked at the Yerkes scholar, unable to understand what he was saying.

He gestured his finger in the air, as if he were drawing a magic circle.

"Could it be that this side of the rune board is also going to draw a 'frost' magic pattern?" I asked the Yerkes scholar. "We're going to make the 'Frost' magic rune board double-sided?"

"No, it's not. The Yerkes scholar waved his hand at me, and seeing that I couldn't come up with an answer, he said to me, "You seem to have forgotten that we still have the 'Gathering Ring'. ”

"You mean to engrave the 'Gathering Ring' on the back of the rune plate?" I asked Yerkes.

"Actually, my original idea was to engrave the 'Gathering Ring' on the four sides of the rune plate, but it seemed difficult!" said the Yerkes Scholar, sitting in front of the test bench across from me, shrugging his shoulders.

I was about to say: this is impossible, I can't draw the 'Gathering Ring' on all four faces at the same time, it's too difficult.

I heard the Yerkes scholar say: "However, that may seriously affect the yield of the rune plate, so I came up with an idea, that is, to build a bridge on the rune metal plate, closely connect the front and back of the rune plate, and then we will draw the 'Concentrated Magic Pattern' on the back of the rune plate, so that maybe this 'Frost' magic rune plate can run without magic crystal fragments." ”

He gestured with his hand on the rune board and told me where the magic bridge was built on the rune board, and where were the nodes of many runes.

As he explained, I began to understand his design intent little by little.

I think the most ingenious thing about this 'Frost' magic rune board is the magic bridge erected by the Jerkes Scholars.

"I'm ready, or let's try to draw one!" I said, holding my magic pen and a little excited, to the Yerkes Scholar.

"Come on, come on!" the Yerkes scholar looked excited, as he wondered if his designs would work.

The 'Gathering Ring' is the most complex magic circle I've ever seen, not even one of them.

At the back, I even felt that the fingers holding the magic carving pen had stiffened, but those endless magic lines still had to continue to extend, as if they were drawing endless moiré patterns, and each magic pattern line was closely glued together, if it were not for the description of the design drawings, the 'Gathering Magic Pattern' at first glance looked like some kind of knurling on the rune board pressed by a roller.

Moreover, the fluctuation of magic will never be transmitted on the Gathering Magic Pattern, because it is not releasing it, but condensing it constantly......

Looking at the plate in front of us that could automatically operate and produce ice mist magic runes without the need for a gem pedestal and a magic crystal fragment, Yerkis and I had passed the initial period of excitement in our hearts.

The Yerkes scholar and I sat at the test bench speechless, and then we had to face an even more brutal problem.

"Yerkes, what would happen if we put this non-mana-free 'Frost' magic rune board on the magic market?" I asked the Yerkes scholar.

Scholar Yerkes stared at me with a solemn expression and said, "A fishskin hood with a life demon pattern has made the imperial capital inscriptionists crazy, and some have even used the power of the magic union to force you to submit......"

Then he said to me word for word, "Give up this idea!" ”

"If this 'frost' magic rune board is really taken out, what will be in front of you will not be power, money, and glory, but a black vortex formed by endless greed, which will swallow both of us whole with an invisible mouth, and perhaps we will never see bright sunshine and blue sky in our lives, and we will lose not only freedom, but everything." ”

"So we're going to destroy it, this 'frost' magic rune plate can only be low wear, definitely not no magic consumption. As Yerkes said this, he took out a silver square-headed hammer in his hand and smashed it on the rune board, and suddenly, the magic pattern carved on the rune board changed shape under his hammer, and the magic that was in operation came to an abrupt end.

Looking at the rune board that had taken a lot of effort to draw was destroyed in our hands, it felt like all the strength in my body had been withdrawn from my body.

I put my chin on the test bench and shouted, "Yerkes!"

"Huh?"

Scholar Yerkes' hands trembled as he smashed the runic metal plate with the silver hammer and threw all the blueprints of the bridge and the ring of energy on the test bench into the fireplace, and set it on fire.

So I asked him, "Do you think this 'frost' magic rune board will have a chance to appear on the magic market in the future?"

Yerkes said to me, "Of course, these magical items will appear in the magic market one day, but first we have to be strong......"

......

I found that when I faced Ying Li alone, I was still very weak-hearted.

I don't know how to explain the identities of those two indigenous girls to Ying Li.

So taking advantage of the rare free time at night, he invited Noah to the quiet courtyard of the third block to play.

Ying Li had nothing to do in the evening, and joined me to entertain Noah and Shirley Newman.

A few of us sat on the third-floor terrace, with Win and Shirley Newman playing a game of war that was very popular among the Grimm nobles, and Noah and I sipping golden cider over the fence of the terrace.

I feel like I can only make it clear if I have a little bit of alcohol.

So after I drank three glasses of golden cider, I took the opportunity to tell the story in its entirety, of course, I didn't mention that the two native girls had only been brought back from Hierro yesterday, and I heard that Count Rez and Knight Jason had just returned to the imperial capital two days ago with the Knights of the Guard, and they had just arrived in the imperial capital.

We spoke of this kind of marriage that smacked of political covenants, and I felt that perhaps none of them could be considered marriages, for they could only be regarded as two maidens who remained with me, and Elder Singer did not expect these two indigenous maidens to marry me.

Perhaps it was because the elders of the Gilda tribe had no such thoughts in their hearts after seeing Karantso.

They sent two indigenous girls to me, just to themselves, or to me, as a psychological comfort: "Oh, we're in an alliance."

Speaking of these things, Noah also said with deep feelings: "Some covenants cannot be written in the magic contract, in order to ensure that both parties abide by the covenant, marriage is the easiest way. ”

With a goblet in my hand, I sarcastically said to him, "It's like...... Your engagement with Barbara, the princess of the Naga Sea Clan?"

Noah had just taken a sip of his wine, and almost didn't squirt out when I said that.

"Ahem, please pay attention to the words, there is a certain emotional foundation between me and Barbara, we are in love with the sea of Vasqui, of course, this beautiful love can have a perfect result in the end, this is inseparable from your help, for which my heart is full of gratitude. Noah said.

He didn't seem to be worried that Shirley would be jealous, and in fact Shirley Newman didn't care much about it.

Noah came up to me, put his arm around my shoulder, bumped his glass with me, and said, "Actually, you don't have anything to worry about, power, money, power, once these things become stones paved on the road under your feet, everything that originally belongs to you will come one after another, there are some things that cannot be escaped, and don't complain, these are all from the choices you made in the beginning." ”

I savored Noah's words.

At this time, Ying Li put down the chess pieces in his hand, and he could still maintain a faint smile on his face.

But I don't feel a little weak.

Ying Li walked up to me, holding the fence with both hands, and his eyes fell on the two indigenous girls by the fountain in the courtyard.

She said to me: "Actually, these Hiro people have set their goals very low, they don't expect you to marry the successors of these two tribal witches and the granddaughters of the tribal elders, they just want them to be by your side, so that you can see them occasionally, and because of their relationship, they will not do those things that hurt the Hiero people in the face of some choices, if you can do this, it will be enough for them." ”

Ying Li's tone was very flat, and he didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction because of this.

It's just that I'm still a little unsure, maybe it's because Noah and Shirley are here, so they will put on such a posture.

Her eyes were clear, and she looked at me and said, "Angel Bird royalty, this kind of marriage as a bond to establish a covenant has happened too much, every royal princess is destined to make sacrifices for the Angel Ball royal family when she is born from the moment she is born, this kind of thing everyone is used to." ”

"In order to be able to make a covenant with the Temple of Liberty, I have an aunt who has chosen to become a high priest and will not be able to marry for the rest of her life. The other is that my aunt is married to the current monarch of the Naga Sea clan of the Endless Sea, and they can't marry whoever they like, and they also have to marry, which may be the price of being born in the royal family and being a princess......"

......

Two new books are recommended.

One is the prodigal brother's "Capital of the Seven Realms", when I first opened this book, this theme was quite exciting to me, a city connects the gates of the seven worlds, and various events are bizarre one after another, and the story unfolds because of this, this book is not a fast food article, it is the kind that is quite intriguing, you need to have a cup of coffee and a café in a certain afternoon, it is best to have a cup of coffee and a tea house, relaxing music and beautiful street scenes, and then calm down to read this book.

The other is a new bottle of old wine in the ink of the "Predatory Starry Sky", which is considered to be an interstellar and mechanical background of the daddy and Loliwen, I like an old book in the steam style that Pan Mo wrote before, and friends who like interstellar wind, please understand, maybe there will be a different interstellar journey.

Well, that's all!
