245. Morning in the Imperial Capital

Arya likes to sit on the terrace and drink morning tea with the first rays of the morning sun.

Before the morning dew disappears from the blades of grass, make a plan for the day's work.

For Arya, there is too much work to be done every day, not only to manage a huge textile workshop, but also to coordinate and coordinate the preparation of materials on the side of the rune board workshop, because I was at war with the Nibru spider people on the Hiero plane before, so the production rhythm of the rune board workshop has been disturbed, Murray will complain to me every time he sees me, a lot of bitter water, only Arya can sort out the clues in this kind of anxious trivial things, every time I return to the imperial capital, I will not wait for a long time due to lack of preparation.

Although Arya has Betty by her side who can help her with many things, only Arya is the real decision-maker.

I like to stand by the window with a cup of lemon tea and watch Arya bite the tip of her pen and think seriously.

At this time, she was like the elite workplace woman in her memory, she would record the day's itinerary on a yellowed piece of parchment, and then put it into action.

In order to be able to retain the passing youth, early morning exercise is essential every day, the elves have their own unique opinions on the aspects of rejuvenation and shaping, the elves advocate a set of gymnastics similar to jiu-jitsu, this set of physical skills passed from the elven world is very popular among the upper class nobles and ladies of the imperial capital, I stood quietly by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching Arya practice elven physical arts on the oak floor of the terrace.

That kind of body art looks a little like yoga, but it is very different in the movements, each action looks like an archer pulling a bow and shooting arrows, a set of movements is also very hard, Arya's body is plump and soft, the quality of those movements of this body is very high, but in the back it seems a little powerless, sweat runs down the neck, and the placket on the chest is soaked a lot.

Many magicians like to meditate in the early morning, early morning is the most energetic time of the day, at this time practicing meditation can often get twice the result, when I was in El City, in order to catch up with the magic scroll often stay up late, and in the morning will also take advantage of this time to practice meditation, after arriving in the imperial capital, the time for meditation is getting less and less.

Arya wiped the sweat from her face with a towel and pushed open the wooden door on the patio and entered.

I tried to take her in my arms, but she twisted her waist and dodged away, and she asked me as she walked to the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower, didn't I say I'm going to the auction house this morning?"

Leaning against the vertical marble pillar by the window, I said to Arya, "I thought about it last night or forget it, I'm worried that once those spider-man slaves appear on the auction table, I'm afraid my name will probably appear on the front page of the magic newspaper the next day, since Prince James has reminded me to keep a low profile recently, this kind of showy thing can be avoided recently, I should try to avoid it." ”

A maid walked into the bathroom with a stack of bath towels, and Arya whispered a few words to the maid.

I continued: "Besides, even if I shoot off those spider-man slaves, it's not worth much, and the subsequent contract scrolls are very troublesome to deal with, so I don't want to make trouble for myself. ”

Arya took off the crown on her head, her long hair spread out like a waterfall, she took off her shoes and went into the bathroom, there was a sound of water being plucked inside, and she said to me through the door, "You can try a private auction in a small circle of nobles, and if you want to participate, I can introduce you to some friends, they have access to this." ”

"Are you sure you won't get me in trouble?" I sat down on the couch, and through the open door of the bathroom, I could just see Arya sitting on her back in the bath, two maids half-crouching behind her, washing her hair.

Arya said to me, "This kind of private auction is quite private, but even if it is known, how troublesome can it be?"

Among the trophies brought back from the Hiero plane, those spider-man slaves are just adding heads, and the things that really have great value are still the unidentified black magic crystals, these black magic crystals with merits, I think those nobles in the imperial capital who are quite wealthy but have low titles should have a demand for these black magic crystals, and there should be many nobles in the imperial capital who dare not go to the battlefield, but are not satisfied with the current title.

In addition, there is a large number of black iron weapons seized, this batch of black iron North Duisburg should be able to eat them all, and my side has a great demand for the substrate of giant crossbow arrows, after these black iron weapons are reforged, they can be forged into giant crossbow arrows and sold back to me, and the owner of this business North Duisburg, Count Robert, will not lose anything.

In addition, there are a large number of magical herbs brought back from the Hiero plane, these magical herbs are collected by me from those indigenous tribes in the southern region of the Black Forest, for which I almost emptied nearly 20,000 bags of wheat flour in a warehouse in the airport town, but the amount of primary magical herbs purchased is also quite considerable, I feel that such a large number of primary magical herbs, I should try to contact the Potions Guild.

I didn't sell some of the high-grade leathers I collected from the Spider-Man Overseers, and I sent them directly to the Leather Workshop to customize the Spider-Man Overseer Hardskin Armor Set, which is the base material for a top-of-the-line magical pattern build, and if I could, I was going to equip it to the group of Orc warriors under Karan's command.

However, after the victory of the war in the Hiero plane this time, after all, there is a large amount of loot to be disposed of privately.

Some maids appeared in the bathroom with clothes, shoes, and jewelry, and the maids stood quietly in a row, waiting for Arya to change into new clothes after bathing, and I realized that this might be the real aristocratic life.

I put my cocked legs down a little unnaturally and said to Arya, "Okay, you can make an appointment for me, whatever time you want, anyway, I have time before school starts." ”

"If you agree, I've received a few invitations to private auctions lately, so I'll pick the most interesting one. Arya raised her hand and motioned for Betty to write it down.

Arya asked me again, "What are your plans for a few days, do you want to go back there?"

The 'over there' in her mouth refers to the town of Tron on the Hiero plane, where Caterina has been involved in the later stages of the town's construction recently.

Caterina advocated slowing down the industrialization process of the town, giving priority to the construction of public service facilities in the town, and building Trum into a fully functional service town, which can attract some adventure maps to set up a station here, and make Trum a gathering place for adventure groups, which can allow these adventure groups to pull the town's economy.

Bernd had a different idea, he hoped that the iron ore mine outside the town could be developed as soon as possible and fully develop the town's industry, but this plan was put on hold for the time being after some discussion between Caterina and Bernd.

However, I wasn't going to go to the town of Trump today, so I said to Arya, "Prince James helped me get a weapon trading voucher, and within the limited range of weapons, I can make some trades with the wolf orcs on the Pai Plateau. ”

The Pai Plateau is currently facing the invasion of the undead army, and I am worried that the alliance of the orc tribes will not be able to stop the attack of the undead army, or will suffer heavy losses in the first battle, and several wars with the undead army in the history of the Roland Continent will last for several years.

This time, the army of the undead of the underworld invaded the territory of the orc tribe through the psychic tower built by the lich in the death forest of the Pai Plateau, and the Pai Plateau became the main battlefield against the army of the undead.

Before the orc tribe sends a letter for help, whether it is the Grimm Empire in the east or the dwarven kingdom in the west, I am afraid that they will stand still at this time and wait for the orc tribe to deal with it on their own.

Arya knew that I was planning to aid the orc tribe, and when she heard me mention that the license to trade weapons with the orc tribe had been applied, she asked me with some surprise, "Are your holy silver crossbow arrows ready so soon?"

Recently, the Magic Seal Workshop in Xinliu Valley not only has to maintain the daily production of the Rune Plate Workshop on this side of the Imperial Capital, but has been supporting the war on the Hiero Plane during the previous period, and this war requires the supply of a large number of magic crossbow arrows.

The answer, of course, is yes, and the Holy Silver Crossbow Bolts produced so far can already be used to make the first batch of aid and fill a magic airship.

Of course, not all the holy silver crossbow arrows on the airship, and I can't prepare so much in more than a month, and I have to buy some supplies that other orc tribes are short of.

However, this batch of supplies is not gratuitous assistance, including ordinary Holy Silver Giant Crossbow Arrows, hemostatic bandages, and a batch of fine moonblade axes, all of which require the orcs to pay some price in exchange.

I said to Arya: "I have intercepted those holy silver crossbow arrows with magical attributes, and I am going to keep these crossbow arrows, this time I want to discuss with Marven and let him take those ordinary giant crossbow arrows to the Pai Plateau to make this deal with the orcs." ”

"What are you going to exchange for these Holy Silver Crossbow Arrows for?" Arya stood up from the bath, and immediately a maid behind her helped her wrap a bath towel.

I thought about it seriously, corpse fire oil, canned luncheon meat, meat pine bricks, elementary magic herbs...... Since the orc tribe is at war with the army of the undead, the magic herbs are estimated to be strictly controlled, and it should not be easy to buy magic herbs from the orc tribe.

I pinched the corners of my eyes and said to Arya, "I haven't thought about this yet, what do you think I should change?"

Surrounded by a group of maids, Arya stood in front of the mirror and changed into a tight corset, petticoat, and court-style dress, and she said to me, "I think we should bring back some vermicelli and other high-end meat specialties, since you took charge of the Qige Trading House, the tribal-style restaurants in the imperial capital are almost out of business." ”

Indeed, after I took charge of the Qige Trading House, the purchase of vermicelli and some fresh ingredients was largely suspended, mainly for corpse fire oil and magical herbs, followed by luncheon meat and meat floss bricks, which seemed to me to be the real thing, and which I used in the war in the Hiero plane.

Arya and I brought up the idea of sourcing some ingredients from the orc tribe.

At this time, I remembered one thing, that is, there was a temporary shortage of meat food in the Hiero plane, and I said to Arya: "We should probably bring back a batch of raw meat jerky, now there is a shortage of meat food in the Hiero plane, and fresh meat can't be stored there for a long time, raw jerky is a specialty of the orc tribe, and it should be a good idea to transport this thing to Hierro." ”

Raw jerky is one of the most characteristic foods of the orc tribe, but the people of the Green Empire don't like to eat it, the main reason is that the taste is very different from fresh meat, raw jerky is dry and hard, and chewing is like chewing a piece of bark.

Arya turned to me in confusion and asked, "Are you going to bring back some raw jerky from the orc tribe?" Okay, but I don't like to eat that......

The maids were tying the intricate ties of her long skirt with all their hands and feet, and I thought that the aristocratic clothes of the Grimm Empire were too cumbersome, and in such a hot summer, such a heavy long dress was thick and hot, and it was very inconvenient to travel.

I rubbed my nose and thought that when I was traveling in the Pai Plateau, I was almost vomiting when I ate raw jerky, but now that I think about that unique food, I miss it more and more, and I put on a very experienced appearance and said, "Actually, raw jerky is a more challenging cooking skill for chefs, and this thing can actually be cut into thin slices and then ...... I can try it with the greens, and I can try it in the evening? ”

Arya heard me say that she would cook in the kitchen herself, and she said with great interest for a while: "I don't remember that there is this recipe in the imperial capital and El City, and there are probably no peas on the orc tribe, so you created this dish yourself?"

“...... Sort of!" I touched my nose with some weakness.

At this time, a magic caravan stopped by the fountain outside the villa, and I said hello to Arya and ran downstairs as fast as I could.

The imperial capital in the Majaro crater basin comes a little late every morning, and the people of the imperial capital are accustomed to this kind of life of sleeping late and waking up late, so to speak, the night market in the imperial capital is so colorful, but the imperial capital is so pale in the morning, except for the night watchman who will run out to extinguish the street lights on the street, there are almost no people on the stone road in the third block.

On the way to the Qige Firm, the closer you get to the seventh block, you will find that more and more civilians go to work in the workshop early, and within the seventh block, the street is already full of people, and there are many small vendors on both sides of the street selling all kinds of cheap snacks, and the magic caravan can only be sandwiched in the flow of people and slowly move forward.

In my eyes, this imperial capital is gradually becoming vivid......
