The night breeze is gentle

Under the bright starry sky, the floating imperial city outlines the general outline of the imperial city with lights, and occasionally one or two knights of the Royal Knights of the Knights of the Gripen will fly from the night sky into the shadow of the floating imperial city.

After the summer, the imperial capital has become a city that never sleeps, the streets and alleys in the city are brightly lit, many imperial people like to come out of their homes after dinner to go shopping, many small traders will also take to the streets at this time, as for the northern province's delicious red bean smoothie has become the new favorite of the imperial capital people to cool off in summer, there will always be some stalls selling freezing points at the intersection of the street.

The stall owner scrapes the ice chips from the huge ice bricks with a planer knife, then pours a spoonful of red bean paste, a spoonful of maple syrup, and some vanilla, mint or lemon juice depending on personal taste, and if you choose a more upscale one, the smoothie is covered with a layer of seasonal fresh fruit pulp.

The elven world has always been a place that the Grimm people yearn for, so the fried fish from Buenos City has always been the favorite of the people of the imperial capital, in this night when the heat subsides, many people like to sit on a small chair on the side of the street, order a fried fish, and have a large glass of cold ale, a group of young people drink a slightly bitter ale, and can chat all night.

The magic caravan passed through the bustling street market, Betty looked at the noisy crowd with envious eyes, as Arya's personal maid, she probably rarely had her own leisure time to run to the night market to wander casually.

"Would you like to go down for a walk with me?" I poked my head out of the window, and suddenly saw a barbecue stall on the side of the night market, and the leg of lamb was roasted on the charcoal fire, and the smell of meat with a strong spice smell rushed into my nose, making my stomach rumble, so I asked Betty.

Despite the abundance of delicious food in the Water Wizard Salon, I was pestered all night by the water magicians who wanted to learn the 'Constant Frost' magic pattern, and I tasted only two slices of bread at the beginning, except for a belly of lemon tea, and I didn't even have time to add ham and tomato to the bread slices.

"Ah?...... Good. Betty didn't expect such an idea to pop up suddenly, and she was stunned for a moment before replying.

The coachman stopped at the side of the road in the market, and Betty followed me out of the carriage.

The food stalls in this kind of street night market are basically facing the common people in the imperial capital, and it is rare to see nobles with status here, and for many nobles in the imperial capital, face is far more important than taste.

The people around saw a young magician nobleman and maid walking out of the magic caravan, and they didn't pay too much attention, but subconsciously silently got out of the way, crossed the barbecue stall full of aroma, passed the overcrowded fried fish and ale stall, and came to the front of the freezing point stall.

The stall owner had an embarrassed expression on his face that wanted to laugh and cry, then shrugged his shoulders at me and said cautiously, "Respected Magician, what do you want to do?"

"Two red bean smoothies...... I remembered that I should ask Betty for advice, so I turned to look at her.

"A cup with mint leaves. Betty duly added.

The two of us did not linger in front of the stall, but walked to the corner of the booth and sat down, where there were originally two civilian teenagers, and when they saw us walking straight over, they decisively chose to give up their place.

When Betty and I sat down at the square table, we both breathed a sigh of relief, and when I saw the front of the freezing point paving return to its original order, I suddenly realized that the civilian world no longer belonged to me, and I was already out of step with everything here.

Maybe one day, when I take off the magic badge on my chest, take off the magic robe on my body, and wear an ordinary old clothes, I can really enjoy the hustle and bustle of this street market, and truly blend in here. Now I can only sit in the magic caravan and honestly be a passing by.

"Let's go, let's go back, I can't wait to see Arya. Before the freezing point was served, I said to Betty in a state of interest.

Betty nodded submissively, placed a silver hammer on the table, lifted her apricot dress with one hand, and walked away after me.

The stall owner with two cups of red bean smoothie stood in front of the stall with a puzzled face, watching us leave, probably wondering what we were doing here......

"Let me tell you, I actually make a much better red bean smoothie than his......

......

Arya, dressed in a lake blue evening dress, waited quietly in front of the hall door on the first floor.

All the rooms on the first floor of the courtyard were lit, the magic street lamps on both sides of the main courtyard were all lit, the wheels of the magic caravan passed over the smooth marble pavement, making a soft gurgling sound, and the magic caravan stopped in front of the red carpet of the steps in the courtyard, and the fountain behind it shimmered in the light.

I stepped out of the magic caravan, and Arya curtsied me with her skirt lightly, and I could see that she was well-groomed, and I walked up to pull her up, and she took me by the arm and walked into the splendid mansion.

"What is this for? Did you just go to the prom?" I asked, seeing that she was dressed so formally.

Arya stretched her brows and smiled slightly, she was the kind of woman who was full of charming charm, and she took my arm with one hand and said, "The noble ladies of the imperial capital usually dress up like this to greet the knights who have triumphed from the battlefield. ”

"Well, this is a celebration of the victory in the war on the Hiero plane?" I asked her.

"Can I think so?" she asked me, her eyes as deep as the night sky.

I scratched my head and said with some embarrassment, "It's a little early, I'm still thinking about how I can get those Nibru spiders out completely, and if I have the chance, I hope to find the connecting passage and seal it away." ”

Arya frowned and said, "I thought you drove the Nibru spiders out of the Black Forest, and this expedition was coming to an end. ”

I replied, "It's over for now, those Durva knights need to rest, and the Hiero plane needs to recuperate for the time being, and we are only waiting for the Dryad warriors who entered the swampy sea to return safely, and this expedition is over." ”

Zach and Ernestine's constructed knights need to return to Pereira City to recuperate, and the summer is about to pass, Salta warriors must return to Salta before the autumn harvest to guard against the sand thieves hiding in the desert at the foot of the southern foothills of the Pai Plateau, the constructed knights of the North Wind need to plan their return, there is a long way between the Hierro plane and the province of Sloyt, I can't always occupy ten constructed knights without returning.

I squeezed her hand and said, "By the way, Arya, thank you!"

"Why are you telling me this?" said Arya, who was about to stride into the hall on the first floor, paused when she heard me say this.

I helped her into the living room and said, "This thank you is for the Constructed Knights, Orc Warriors and Barbarian Slaves, and the Native Warriors of the Gilda Tribe on behalf of the Borean Legion on the Hiero Plane. ”

"And what about you?" she said, with a hint of charm between her eyebrows.

"What kind of thank you ...... you want"

......

The plane war that broke out on some of the subordinate planes of the Grimm Empire is in full swing, and every issue of the Imperial Capital Magic Newspaper will describe at great length: the cruelty of the war and how the Knights of the Grimm Empire are fighting bravely on the front line, hoping that more warriors will rush to the frontline battlefield of the plane war, and call on the people of all levels of the imperial capital to do what they can for the plane war.

However, the people of the Imperial Capital have not been affected by the dimensional war, except for some strategic materials in the city, only the price of healing potions has been high, and the counters of magic potions in the magic herb shops in the imperial capital are always lacking in pale red healing potions.

The imperial capital is still the trade center of the Grimm Empire, and the town at the foot of the mountain is almost the largest distribution center of the Grimm Empire, and hundreds of airships gather here from all parts of the empire every day, and these magic airships bring what is abundant in each place, and will also take away what the lords need.

There are many chambers of commerce in the imperial capital, in order to avoid vicious competition in the industry, these chambers of commerce usually hold the industry's supplier conference every year, and this kind of conference usually invites some businessmen who have made some achievements in a certain industry, such as Arya participated in the imperial textile supplier conference not long ago, Arya almost monopolized the magic spider silk cloth market in the imperial capital, due to the limited raw materials, the silk fabrics of other magic spider silk cloth on the market have almost disappeared in this year.

Therefore, Arya is already one of the giants in the imperial capital cloth market, and the Textile Chamber of Commerce requires Arya to increase the export of silk fabrics from the Silver Moon Elves, increase the price of the magic spider silk cloth in the imperial capital market, and reduce the market share of the magic spider silk cloth in the imperial capital, so as to give other textile workshops in the Green Empire a certain living space.

In the face of these terms, although Arya did not agree to all of them, she also made certain concessions, and the benefit was to join the Textile Chamber of Commerce Alliance and become one of the well-known businessmen in the cloth merchant circle.

Arya made a splash in the pool and vanished.

By the time she showed her head, she was already on the other side, and she had come out of the pool wet, dripping with strings of water.

Betty hurriedly brought the prepared bath towel, and Arya sat down beside me.

Taking advantage of the night to swim in the pool is naturally a special taste, and seeing Arya also happily come out of the pool, I put away the mysterious rune board, since I comprehended the two companion magic patterns on this mysterious rune board 'Reducing Demand' and 'Gathering Magic Ring', it has been so long, I still have no progress, and I have no clue about it, and I have a frustration that I can't use.

Unable to open the third page of this mysterious Mo rune board, this effort was once again declared a failure.

Arya was lying on the chaise longue next to her, Betty was standing behind her to help her dry her wet hair, and Arya said to me, "Murray has sent a message that you are invited to participate in this year's Rune Board Supplier Conference, if you don't want to go, Betty and I will deal with it." ”

"When?" I asked, setting aside the mystical rune board.

The other magic rune board merchants in the imperial capital are finally willing to face up to my rune board workshop, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"In the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, the Manor of the Babington family in the imperial capital. Arya replied.

"Rune Board Suppliers Conference...... Isn't it a little embarrassing to see that group of people at Babington Manor?, or I'll go!" I thought for a moment, and then said.

It seems that the Babington family in San Carlos City still controls the Rune Board Market of the Green Empire, and the meeting place is actually chosen in their manor.

"Well, then I'll have someone inform Murray tomorrow morning. "Arya has no objection to my proposal.

Now that the decision has been made, he asked Alya curiously, "What does this kind of supplier conference usually do?"

Arya knew a lot about this, and explained to me carefully: "Basically, the suppliers of those large rune board workshops agree on the market share of rune boards, and then they will restrict the business scope of those small manufacturers. ”

It was actually the rune board merchants discussing how to divide the market in private, and I couldn't help frowning and asked Arya, "Is this a market monopoly?

Arya snorted lightly, picked up the chairback golden cider from the table next to her, took a sip before saying, "There will be no written contract documents, just some verbal agreements, as long as they can't catch their handles, the royal family can't interfere, even if they catch some handles, what can they do." ”

"Sounds boring. I sighed softly.

Speaking of which, the project of my magic rune board workshop is very simple, there are only three kinds of magic rune boards to make magic items, copper hot pot, exhaust fan, and refrigerator.

All three of these magic items are converted from rune boards made with the most rudimentary magic skills, and due to the large number of daily shipments of this magic item, my rune board workshop has also entered the field of vision of other large rune board suppliers.

I didn't expect to rush back from the Hiero plane, and I could still encounter this thing, in fact, I also want to get to know other rune board manufacturers in the imperial capital.

"Or let Betty come with you......" Arya said to me.

"It's good ......"
