82. The dilemma of Ivan and Diego

The sound of a bell came into the classroom from outside the window, drowning out Mr. Martin's speech......

Teacher Martin shook his head helplessly, reached out and closed the magic book spread out on the lectern, picked up the magic book with seven magic gems of different colors on the thick book cover, and walked out of the classroom slowly.

Noah and I struggled to squeeze out the back door of the classroom, and as we surged down the spiral staircase in the hallway, Shirley Newman stood at the door of the next class, waving goodbye to the rest of the class, and when she saw Noah squeezing over, she squeezed into the crowd and took Noah's arm and walked with us.

Whenever class is over, the spiral staircase of the Royal Academy of Magic building always has a galloping momentum, and hundreds of magic students rush out through the door of the school building.

Noah loved the crowd of people huddled together, and he walked down the stairs with a quick walk down the stairs with my shoulder-to-shoulder and Shirley around her waist.

In the middle of a crowd, it is difficult to stop unless you can squeeze into the corner of the wall or the jogging platform of the staircase.

Without Prince George and Quentin's Academy, the Imperial Capital Gang fell silent again, and they no longer had the same swaggering and reckless behavior in the academy as before.

Some newcomers have also begun to join the Ming Literature Society, but after all, the Ming Literature Society is still under the control of the Imperial Capital Gang, and it is difficult for magical students in various provinces outside to touch the door of the Ming Literature Society unless they have extremely high inscription talents.

Listening to Noah, someone wants to re-form the Sword and Sorcery Society, it is said that there is a beautiful elf girl in this class of freshmen who is no less than Lucia, but I have very little extracurricular time in the Royal Academy, so that for more than two months after the start of school, it seems that I have never seen the highly regarded elf girl, who is said to have pure silver moon elf blood.

But to be honest, maybe I've been with orcs for too long, and I hate elves a little bit.

There is a crowd of people around the fountain, and it is lively every day, but today is a little different.

The magicians gathered around the fountain formed a large circle, and there was some quarrel in the circle, but no one stepped forward to help.

At this time, Ying Li happened to be chatting with a female wizard student wearing a dark green Calemian magic robe by the fountain, and I didn't see Noah and I coming out of the school building, I walked over only to find Noah glancing at me with meaningful eyes, and leaned into my ear and whispered: "Jijia, I was almost deceived by you, it turns out that you know Tinuville." ”

"Tinupir, the name of this elf ......"

I was whispering this to Noah when the maestross in Calemian's magical robes suddenly turned around and looked at me curiously.

She has a pair of pointed crystal clear ears, even the subtle veins on them are clearly visible, her quiet is like two clear springs, straight and straight, with the same water chestnut-shaped lips as Lucia, her figure is slender and tall, and she looks like a noble and elegant white swan.

She smiled at me.

Even though I looked at each elf's smile and felt fake, I nodded to her.

"I am Tinuville, and I am Buenos. She said gracefully to me.

Her eyes were very clear, but there was a sense of distance from her on the other side of the sea.

"Hello, I'm Jiga. I said to her flatly.

Ying Li took Tinuvel's hand, looking a little nervous, she was the kind of girl who would not make people feel that she was a princess no matter where she was, she lacked a little confidence as a princess, she said to me, "Jijia, she is mine...... Friends!"

Then she turned to the elven beauty with some uncertainty, "Tinuvir, this is Giga." ”

"Hello, Giga!" said Tinuville, his pointed chin always raised slightly.

To be honest, I don't really like aggressive-eyed girls, and just as I was about to speak, a wave of agitation was caused by a circle next to the fountain, interrupting our conversation.

Although few people dare to cause trouble in the Royal Academy of Magic, it does not mean that there are none.

The current situation looks like someone has broken into the academy to find fault, surrounded by magical students who have just rushed out of the school building after class.

"Hey, you can't hit people in the Royal Academy of Magic?" a young voice shouted loudly, and there were many voices in response.

Obviously, this voice resonated with many of the magicians around him, and everyone hugged him in unison.

If it weren't for Shirley pulling Noah to death, I'm afraid Noah would have rushed over.

A loud voice in the crowd shouted, "...... We didn't hit anyone, we came here to find friends, we just want to tell these two friends, it's useless to hide from us all the time, it's better to pay back the money as soon as possible, you students of the Royal Academy of Magic, you get the allowance from the empire every month, you are all decent people in the Grimm Empire, it's better not to be the kind of scoundrel who doesn't pay his debts. ”

As he spoke, several young men with aristocratic appearances squeezed out of the circle and strode through the gate of the academy.

When they walked out of the Royal Academy of Magic and the crowd gathered around the pool was about to disperse, Ivan and Diego walked out of the crowd with embarrassed faces.

The two of them looked a little angry, followed by a few members of the Ming Literature Society with blank faces, they walked in a hurry, and even a little panicked, and they didn't notice me and Noah by the fountain, and when they saw us, they found that it was too late to avoid, and at this time they turned around and went away obviously more embarrassed, so they could only bite the bullet, completely ignoring the existence of me and Noah, and passing by us.

The members of the Ming Literature Society also kept a vigilant eye on me and Noah.

Noah's eyes widened, as if he had discovered something interesting, and when Ivan and Diego were completely away, he said to me, "Hey, Giga, guess what happened to make these two look like lost dogs?"

Noah put one hand on my shoulder and said with a puzzled expression: "Speaking of which, according to their family background in the imperial capital, they are still magic students of the Royal Academy who are good at inscriptions, so it is impossible to be short of money!"

This young master of the Mensa family may never understand what it is like to be short of money.

Shirley, who was standing beside him, said: "I've heard someone around me talk about the two of them recently, originally they were very popular in the Inscription Society, and Ivan is one of the few magical students in the academy who has the identity of an inscription master......"

As she said this, Shirley Newman couldn't help but look at me twice, and then continued: "I heard that they used a little of their savings to open a rune board workshop, but this rune board workshop has been losing money for several months, and they both have to put money into it every month. ”

It seems that Shirley's social circle in the Royal Academy of Magic is much larger than me and Noah, otherwise she wouldn't have known so clearly, and she actually knew some things about Ivan and Diego's rune board workshop.

Noah asked rhetorically, "Even if you open a rune board workshop, what can it be to the two of them!"

He probably thought that even opening a rune board workshop would not cause Ivan and Diego's economy to run a deficit.

Shirley said to Noah, "Of course, opening a rune board workshop is not so embarrassing for them, but the problem is that they put a sum of money into the munitions business of the plane war at the beginning of the school year. ”

"......" Noah and I looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, we probably understood what the problem was.

Next, Shirley Newman's words confirmed our thoughts: "It is said that they bought magical herbs everywhere in the imperial capital with George and Quentin to support His Royal Highness Charlie's multi-faceted war in Angela, but unfortunately although this money was invested, it ended in vain because George and Quentin went to Strange Rock City and resold military supplies. ”

"The whereabouts of the magic herbs that Prince George had hoarded have also become unknown, and the money that belonged to the two of them has also been lost, and it is said that they not only took out all their savings, but also scraped together a sum of money from home and borrowed a sum from outside, and those people probably came to them to collect their debts. ”

The third prince Eric sent Prince George to Strange Rock City, and the magic herbs were returned to the magic merchants, but the gold coins returned from the magic merchants did not return to Ivan and Diego, I think the two of them probably didn't have the courage to run to the third prince Eric to ask for money, so the situation would be so embarrassing.

Shirley Newman saw me and Noah looking at her stunned, and said with a slight blush: "Why are you looking at me like this, these things are all said by the people in the Ming Literature Society." ”

There were also a few magical students from this realm next to Ying Li and Ti Nuvir, and Ying Li hesitated for a moment and said to me, "Jijia, Noah, Shirley, do you want to go out to eat with us?"

This sentence was so insincere, I had to follow Ying Li's careful thinking and said: "Forget it this time, let's have a chance to get together next time." ”

After speaking, I glanced at Noah, and said, "I have made an appointment with Marven, he is still waiting for me at the trading house, and I am going to go to the bronze shop with him to finalize the first batch of lampholders and lampshades for those magic wall lamps, and I will go to the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute later." ”

"Well, you be careful along the way. A charming dimple appeared on Ying Li's face.

Noah looked at me with a confused expression, his eyes full of the meaning of 'going to the trading house, why haven't I heard you mention ...... before?'

Ignoring Noah's puzzled looks, I waved goodbye to them and joined Caterina waiting at the entrance of the academy.

A magic caravan stopped at the entrance of the Royal Academy of Magic, I took Caterina to board the magic caravan, the midday sun shone into the car, I happened to see through the window of the car that Ying Li and Tinuville were mixed in a crowd of new female magicians, a group of people were talking and laughing through the square in front of the academy building, walking towards the west gate of the academy.

Noah was pulled into her circle by Shirley Newman, and before Noah said anything, the crowd erupted in cheers, and then they hugged Noah and Shirley Newman and walked towards the food court at the west gate of the college.

At this time, Caterina would sit quietly on the side, her ruby eyes showing the tenderness of water.

The carriage galloped all the way to the trading house.

Almost all of the canned luncheon meat and meat floss bricks hoarded in the trading houses were turned into military supplies for the Lochi plane.

The Prince of Wales and the Marquis of Hasrab bought more than half of the inventory, and the remaining goods had to maintain the basic distribution of dozens of magical grocery stores in the imperial capital.

Nowadays, the warehouses in the trading houses are basically empty, and the empty ones look a little depressed, and even some of the employees in the warehouses are sitting under the empty shelves and dozing off.

In the past two weeks, Marven has prepared materials that can fill three magic airships, which are currently stored in the warehouse in the airport town, including some copper hot pot and magic table lamps, and is ready to go to the Pai Plateau to stabilize this trade route left by Qige.

Recently, there have been some big changes in the personnel of the trading house, and Marven is worried that those who leave the trading house will use this trade route of Qige to trade with the orcs on the Pai Plateau, so this time he plans to take the token and go to Guruding Town on the Pai Plateau in person.

We still have the last batch of copperware still in the copperware store, and Marven and I have made an appointment to go to the copperware store this afternoon, not only to pick up the goods, but the most important thing is to finalize the specific amount and delivery date of the next few batches.

Seeing me and Caterina pushing the door in, Marvin was checking the list of goods with several employees, and Spee brought us two cups of tea and said, "I thought you would come here after lunch." ”

I sat on the couch in Marvin's office and asked Spee, "How are the goods prepared in the airport town?"

"It's almost complete, Marven is checking the list of goods on the ship. Spee sat down across from me and said.

After Marven finished checking the list, he also came over and sat side by side with Si Pei, and then we chatted and talked about the second price adjustment of the 'Fire Gathering Technique' rune board and the 'miniature tornado' rune board, with the further increase in the output of the rune board workshop, there are at least ten or more rune board workshops in the imperial capital that will be affected by this price reduction.

In fact, it is not deliberately aimed at Ivan and Diego's rune board workshop, but their rune board workshop not only has to feed Hank and Brennan, as well as the craftsmen of my original rune board workshop, but also has to support a group of employees who were forced to leave the trading house because of their private transactions with Prince George, all of which require Ivan and Diego to pay extra for this.

In the second wave of price reductions for the 'Gathering Fire' and 'Miniature Tornado' metal rune plates, Ivan and Diego's rune board workshops suffered a great deal of impact because they didn't have any price advantages.

Due to the size of the copper hot pot, the fire-gathering rune plate was once made into a palm-sized round rune plate, so this blank rune base plate was different from other rune plates.

Now they pay a net loss of at least thirty-five silver coins for every fire-gathering magic rune board they produce.

However, if you don't produce fire-gathering magic rune boards, it means that the entire production line for making fire-gathering blank rune boards in the workshop will be scrapped directly, and the fire-gathering rune boards hoarded in the warehouse will also become a pile of scrap metal, in this dilemma, no wonder Ivan and Diego look so embarrassed.
