84. New life in the imperial capital
On an afternoon before the beginning of winter, the leaves of the ginkgo trees were falling all over the streets, and the high streets were full of gold, and the leaves on the branches were withering and falling, leaving only the dry branches standing in the autumn wind.
Last night it rained in autumn, and the magic caravan ran over a puddle full of leaves, splashing some muddy water that caused two boys on the side of the road to scream.
After finishing the course at the Magic Academy, I returned to the Quiet Manor, and went to the airport town to pick up the magic caravan that did not arrive on time, two maids were cleaning the dead leaves in the yard, and asked the housekeeper to prepare a pot of lemon tea and send it to the terrace on the second floor, so I climbed the stairs by myself, there were two rattan chairs and a delicate walnut round table on the terrace, I took out the mysterious rune board from the magic waist bag, tried to unlock the third companion magic pattern, and failed seven times in a row, which made me a little impetuous, and depressedly put the mysterious rune board back into the magic waist bag, only to find that there was a pot of tea on the round table at some pointγ
Caterina held a biography of the ranger and leaned against the balcony railing to read it with relish, occasionally brushing the curls scattered in her ears, and her face was charming and delicate.
She wore a camel hair coat over her tight wurm light leather armor, and her brown lambskin boots were polished, and this dress would not be cool in the autumn afternoon, and I couldn't help but tighten my magic robe, and I suddenly felt that autumn had really arrived.
In normal times, at this time, Connie and Puyaka would stand behind me, when I was reading, they would stand there quietly, when I wanted to chat with them, Puyaka would chat with me in Imperial Chinese, which was not too fluent, and their topics always revolved around life in the manor, or anecdotes about the village of Hiero when I was a child, but now I know that they are not behind me, but I can't help but look back.
This is the third day of Connie and Puyaka to the Nameless Island, the first two days were the first two days I went to visit them with Ying Li, teaching them how to use the time hourglass correctly in the herb plantation in the belly of the Nameless Island, and enter the plantation to collect magic herbs, Connie and Puyaka The two girls have a strong learning ability, and they only watched Ying Li use it once to master the correct use of the time hourglass, and today they live independently on the Nameless Island.
Yerkes scholars have always had various academic seminars to attend recently, and I have less and less time to draw the magic pattern construction with him, and there are more and more drinks with various academic research conferences, leaving him to concentrate on the study of primary inscription literature A little bit of exploitation, I have completed the 'Giant Bear Power' magic pattern construction given to me by the Yerkes scholar in the past few days, and I originally planned to discuss the 'general primary magic pattern construction' with him, but it seems that I am afraid that there will be little time today.
The Magic Seal Workshop in Xinliu Valley can now engrave the primary magic rune plate very stably, so I think the Magic Seal Workshop is currently in a position to produce the most common magic pattern construction heavy armor.
In my opinion, the components on the full-coverage Mithril heavy armor suit can be broken down into nine parts: helmet, shoulder pads, breastplate, arm guards, gloves, belt, leg armor, shin armor, and combat boots. Chance of Weakness Detection' and 'Critical Strike'.
I can see the nine components on this heavy armor as irregularly shaped magic rune plates, usually the metal plate substrate used in the magic seal workshop is extremely flat, either round or square, but with those magic items have some shape requirements for rune plates, such as the giant crossbow arrow is a diamond-shaped octahedron, and the magic rune board of the oven and the magic lamp are all alien shapes, the former is surrounded on three sides, and the latter is shrouded in the lampshade like a stamen.
These magic rune plates with different shapes have now begun to be put into mass production in the magic seal workshop, and the output of the giant crossbow arrow is even higher than the list of various magic rune items in the magic seal workshop, so I think that if we don't consider the set attributes and complex associated magic patterns associated with the magic pattern construction, we will regard the nine-part components of the full-coverage magic pattern construction armor as nine magic rune plates with different shapes, then the magic seal workshop is fully capable of processing nine primary magic pattern constructions, which means that the primary magic pattern construction can be completely mass-produced.
The primary magic pattern construction, which was originally monopolized by the junior inscriptionists, will have a new way of production, and this rough magic pattern construction will be a more deadly threat to the junior inscription masters on the imperial capital side than the metal magic pattern rune plate.
However, at present, it seems that this magic pattern structure will be limited to full-coverage metal heavy armor, and these primary magic pattern structures will have disadvantages such as high bearing capacity and unrelated suit attributes, but once the experiment is successful, the advantages are also obvious, the price is cheap, and the magic pattern structure has a high interchangeability, which is convenient for maintenance and repair, etc.
There is no shortage of knights in the Grimm Empire, and there are many heavy cavalry in the legions under the command of many lords, and these heavy cavalry can become the lowest level of knights with a little training, and they can become the lowest level of knights with the most basic magic pattern construction.
As the authoritative designer of the primary magic pattern structure, the Yerkis scholar has absolutely a lot of experience in this area, and I would like to find a chance to talk to him about it, but the high-end metallurgical industry of forging full-covered armor does not have this ability in the blacksmith shop in the imperial capital of North Duisburg, and I have recently set my sights on many heavy cavalry heavy armor, but these heavy armor are a little worse than my requirements, and what I need is the kind of full-cover plate armor that can cover the whole body.
The old dwarven craftsman in the blacksmith shop in the Willow Valley told me that the blacksmithing process of the Dwarven Realm was perfectly capable of creating a suitable full-covered metal armor substrate according to my requirements, and that the dwarves had a more apt name for this kind of equipment that did not impart magical attributes - tabula rasa equipment.
Therefore, in the last few days, I have also been telling Arya to inquire through her channels if there are any merchants or brokers who trade with the dwarves in the Grimm capital.
I would also like to ask Count Conrad about this, he must have his own channels in this regard, after all, the Southwind Legion also has a large number of heavy cavalry legions.
I was sitting on a wicker chair thinking about all this mess, when the gate of the quiet courtyard was pushed open by the gatekeepers, and a dusty magic caravan drove into the manor, and I couldn't help but get up from the wicker chair and run down the stairs that extended out of the terrace on the second floor.
At this time, the door was opened by the coachman from the outside, and the first to get out of the magic caravan was the housekeeper in the manor, followed by Kong Zhen in a low-cut dress, she was wearing a kind of wooden sandals unique to Haiyin Silk City, her arms and calves like white lotus roots fell outside, she was wearing a Haiyin silk style outfit, standing in the autumn wind and looking a little trembling, she looked at the villa in front of her with a complicated expression, and her eyes were full of expectations and fears for the unknown life.
Angelo, a big boy who is almost as tall as Kongzhen, wears cropped pants and sleeveless cotton shoulders, and wears a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, but the restless feet keep twisting back and forth in the cloth shoes, he works on the docks of Haiyin Silk City, and usually takes some work such as guides and wiping boat boards, so he is usually used to not wearing shoes, he walked off the carriage with his shoulders crossed, and squinted at the floating royal city above his head with his hands and shoulders, his eyes were a little dull, as if he was shocked by the prosperous scene of the imperial capital.
He and Leah both had their hair cuts, and their immature faces looked clean, and Leah's hair was tied with small strings of small shells, which looked beautiful.
The little girl Lia followed Angelo with a fur dog, and Leah nervously tugged at the corner of the boy's Angelo's clothes, and looked at the sculpture in the fountain next to the carriage with big innocent eyes, and pointed to the pool and shouted to the fur dog whose hair had become unusually dry: "Dog, there is a pool over there, hurry up and go over there." β
The fur dog seemed to understand Leah's words, and jumped up and down to the fountain.
Angelo stood beside Leah with her shoulders crossed her shoulders and complained to Lia: "Tell you to leave the dog in Haiyinsi, you don't please, the emperor is an inland city, where is the sea for it to live, do you think you can catch fish and feed it in the emperor?" β
Lia, who was reprimanded by Angelo, whispered a little aggrieved: "I can't bear the dog, Angelo." β
Watching the fur dog staggering up the steps by the fountain and struggling to slip from the stone platform into the water, where a beautiful splash appeared, Angelo said with some indignation, "You're going to kill it!"
Seeing that the fur dog had regained some strength and could toss in the pool to her heart's content, Leah's grievances disappeared at once, and she ran to the pool as fast as she could, and said cheerfully in a voice like a silver bell: "No, Angelo! I can give him half of my share of food, and Ma Ma said that we will never go hungry again when we come to the imperial capital, and I can eat very little." β
At this time, little Ella, who lived in the attic, jumped directly from the roof, stood firmly on the stone platform by the pool, she was wearing a set of light leather armor, squatted on her knees in front of Leah, looked at the little girl curiously, pointed to the fur seals fluttering in the pool and said, "Hey, is this pet of yours a seal?"
Leah was startled by Ella who suddenly jumped down from the sky, and Angelo behind her also hurriedly ran over, but Leah was not afraid of Ella, but said to Ella very seriously: "No, it's a fur seal, we call it a dog." β
Little Ella, who was squatting opposite Leah, heard the girl speak very clearly, showed a bright smile, stretched out her hand to Leah and said, "Hello, my name is Ella." Are you a guest of Jiga?"
After receiving an affirmative reply from Liya, he shouted at the top of his voice without looking back: "Jijia, hurry up and come out, there are guests coming!"
In the midst of Ella's shouting, Leah's voice was particularly clear: "My name is Leah, his name is Angelo, that's my numb ......"
At this time, I was standing on the steps in front of the villa, looking at the empty truth with a somewhat dazed face, walking down the stone steps quickly and standing in front of her and stretching out her hands, Kong Zhen's eyes with a trace of fear of the unfamiliar environment, disappeared immediately after seeing me, she slightly stretched her brows, and walked forward two steps forward with her skirt naturally with both hands, hugging me tightly.
"Jijia ......"
Kong Zhen probably stood in the autumn wind for too long, his body trembled slightly, and even his voice trembled a little.
I patted Kong Zhen on the shoulder with my hand and said to her, "Welcome to the imperial capital, Kong Zhen, you will have a new beginning here, believe me, everything will be fine." β
Kuzhen stood up straight and nodded slightly at me, and Caterina walked up from behind me and gave Kuzhen a big hug, saying to her, "Hey, welcome back, Kuzhen!"
After seeing Katarina, Kongzhen's suppressed feelings were released, and he shouted to Catalina in a stirring mood: "Katarina!" and could not say anything else.
Ying Li had a magic experiment class in the afternoon, and he came back a little late.
When the magic caravan stopped in the courtyard, Kong Zhen changed into a Katerina's wool dress and was sitting with us on the terrace on the second floor enjoying a slightly late afternoon tea.
Leah and Angelo sat on the side and gobbled up cakes and egg tarts, little Ella sat on the side and looked surprisingly quiet, holding a silver pot in her hand and constantly adding milk tea to Lia and Angelo in front of her, her eyes were unusually soft, some of the movements of Leah in front of her seemed to touch the most fragile things in Ella's heart, the orc girl reached out to wipe the cake crumbs from the corner of Leah's mouth, and said loudly and a little hoarsely:" I'm best at barbecue, you'd better keep some of your stomachs, I think Jijia has prepared a sumptuous dinner, oh! Ying Li is back, she's the hostess here, you'd better do my way and greet her later, I promise she's the gentlest hostess I've ever met. β
β......β
When Lia heard Ella say this, she wanted to swallow the food in her mouth before speaking, but she didn't expect to swallow a little urgently and choked on the pastry, but Ella had a good way to do this, and quickly handed a cup of milk tea to Liya's mouth and motioned for her to drink it, which made Liya breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Liya's face was flushed, little Ella hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, when I first came here, I was always choked on eating this thing!"
Ying Li took Helena and Becky to the terrace on the second floor, Kong Zhen stood up with some restraint, and saluted Ying Li respectfully, Ying Li took out the appearance of a hostess, sat next to me and chatted with Kong Zhen cordially for a while, and called the housekeeper to determine the dishes for dinner and so on.
Kong Zhen took Angelo and Leah to the imperial capital and started their new life, but I did not leave Kong Zhen in the quiet courtyard, but placed them in the small villa that Ying Li, Helena, and Becky used to rent, and I lived in that villa for almost half a year.
That villa is the property of the Helena family, the last tenants are Arya and Ella, the villa has been empty since they left, and now Kong Zhen and Angelo and Leah are going to live there, and when Kong Zhen is familiar with life in the imperial capital, I will arrange for her to go to the Qige Trading Company to help Si Pei first.
