The color of "Corey papyrus" is yellowish, and it is common for it to turn brown if it is older. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Therefore, mages have to use spells to deal with it, one is to prevent the color of the grass paper from changing too much and causing the handwriting to be illegible, and the other is to increase the storage time of the paper - because the plant is directly cut and dried for use, the preservation conditions of this natural material paper are also extremely harsh, if it is placed in a place with high humidity, it is common for it to rot in a year.

Therefore, although the manufacturing cost of Laciman's paper is low, the subsequent preservation cost is high and scary, and it is not at all popular for ordinary people.

But Jeremy picked up the piece of paper in front of him and looked at it carefully, and immediately realized that it was by no means a "natural plant". Although the paper also shows the color of the original pulp because there is no "bleach", its surface is smooth and evenly thick, and there are no traces of leaf veins on the surface like "Corey hemp papyrus".

Holding up the paper, looking closely through the light of the magic bulb, and folding it twice, Jeremy was even more shocked by the toughness of the paper. He didn't even write down the conclusions of the previous experiments, got up and called the lab assistant, took the stack of papers on the table next to him, and said, "Where did these come from? Why haven't I seen them before?"

The assistant paused for a moment and immediately replied, "Speaker, this is... Joggel is served there. ”

Jogger is a supplier of "Corey Papyrus" to all the magic towers in the vicinity, because the quality of the paper he sells is guaranteed, and the magic towers have signed supply agreements with him for the past five years. The assistant didn't understand why Speaker Jeremy asked about it, and added, "This is a new batch of today's arrival, he said it was a new formula product, but because the price is a little expensive, I just got it to you." ”

Good things are used first, which is also the inherent rule of Laciman. The assistant's words made Jeremy understand that the other party had never used this kind of paper at all, so he was not as surprised as himself.

With this in mind, he arranged: "Then you go to Qiaogel and ask how much it will cost to supply these papers in the future." Let's just say that we are willing to change the agreement at any time. ”

"Yes, Sir. ”

"By the way, by the way, look up the origin of this thing. What new recipe did Jogle say, I don't quite believe it was something he could come up with. ”

Jeremy's eyes were so fierce that he could almost confirm that this might be an important presence that could change Raciman—and Joggle was right when he said "new manufacturing processes," but manufacturing processes were constantly improving. This piece of paper is not brittle or soft, it is stable in nature, and at first glance it is a mature work after balancing various properties, where can a vendor like Georger make it?

The assistant took the order, but ran back a minute later. Jemiri looked up in confusion, and the latter hurriedly said, "Speaker, it's Councilor Rotica from Ballenna who is here..."

Jeremy's brow furrowed. To be honest, he was annoyed enough by Rotica every day in the council, so he didn't want to see him at all. Rotica rarely shows up on weekdays, because it is often interpreted as a political signal, so he replies: "Did he say something was wrong?"

When this question came out, it meant that he was ready to find a reason to shirk and not plan to meet. But the assistant's answer made him suddenly stunned-

"Councillor Rotica would like to invite you to the 'Castec Fireplace' with him, saying that there is good news for you, about the 'Circle Stability Improvements'. ”

It's not news that Jeremy's recent experiments have gone badly in Parliament, but when it comes to a solution, no one can come up with it. Rotica said this suddenly, obviously not without purpose. When the speaker heard this, he immediately changed his mind: "Let him wait on the first floor for a while, and I'll change my clothes and go." ”

Wizards are all quick movers, and the mages who can enter the council have not heard of anyone with procrastination. Ten minutes later, Jeremy, dressed in formal dress, met with Rotica in the reception area on the first floor of the Magic Tower. The latter smiled and said a few words of greeting, and then led them into the carriage - Rasiman also has the habit of "talking about things at the dinner table", and the "Castec fireplace" is the first choice of the people at the top, and the identities of the speaker and the core councilor of Barrenna are placed here, and the two are naturally invited directly to the private room on the top floor.

"Long story short, I guess you won't like me selling off the law either. Congressman Rotica didn't talk nonsense, took out an invitation, handed it to Jeremy, and said: "Next week, 'Nogforg Auction House' will have a big auction, and this is the catalog that has just come out." ”

Jeremy knew there was an answer, so he glanced down. The seemingly rare magical equipment in front of him was unattractive in his eyes, but the things on the last page made his eyes widen suddenly: "Eight kilograms of cobalt gold ore?!"

"Only Nogferg dares to accept this kind of commission. ”

Rotica answered lukewarmly, and Barlenna almost monopolized the production of "cobalt gold mines", so he was naturally unhappy about this. However, with his power, he still can't find trouble with the "Nogerfogg Auction House", but he does feel uneasy about the sudden appearance of the cobalt gold mine.

Jeremy didn't answer him, and he found out that "Cobalt Gold Mine" was not the finale of the auction, because on the last line of the auction catalog, it turned out to be a black pattern marked "unnamed"...

He didn't say what this auction item was, but wrote in small print the words "used to greatly improve the stability and energy transmission efficiency of the magic circle". Jeremy understood that this was the main thing in Rotica's mouth. With a thought in his mind, he looked up and said, "Thank you Councillor Rotica for being so well informed." The 'Twilight Crown' is about to begin, and Ballenna College must be busy, right?"

This is the politeness of bringing the relationship closer. Rotica smiled and began to respond, and as the dishes were served, the conversation became more and more lively.

Rotica sold a favor, and Jeremy was naturally willing to give face. The two talked about the strife in the country of Eskar from the preparation of the "Crown of Twilight", and just as the dinner was nearing the end, Councillor Rotica finally knocked on the side and asked what he really wanted to exchange for this favor-

"The 'Boratini' voyage went well, but the harvest doesn't seem to be good?"

As soon as Jeremy heard it, he knew that the other party was still worried about what Houdini said at the beginning, he thought about it and replied: "You also read that manifest, and there are no bright spots." It seems that the Brenka Academy has not yet held any further negotiations with the emissaries of the Karen Kingdom, but it seems that there should be little to be gained at the moment. ”

He looked at Rotica and stopped, and added, "To be honest, Master Houdini disappointed me. ”

With this sentence, the purpose of Rotica's trip can be regarded as achieved. A stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, his tense face relaxed a lot, and he changed the topic with a smile...

"If I'm not mistaken, the Speaker is a big fan of the 'Tourrell Rally', and I promise that this competition will be even more exciting than the previous ones. ”

"Oh, Barrenner has developed a new model, and I think your 'Buzz One' has reached a new peak in terms of power and energy balance last time, and you have been able to do it three times when other houses are still using the four replacement magic crystal strategy, which is a great achievement!"

When it comes to the "Durrell Rally", Jeremy is interested. Naturally, Rotica did her homework on this, and began to talk about Barlenna's strategies for this tournament triumphantly...

After the meal, Jeremy left satisfied, holding the auction list, and Rotica stepped into the carriage back to the academy with a smile on his face.

Raciman's "cobalt gold mine" is basically monopolized by Barrena, and all the "floating" projects are basically controlled by the academy, and he also knows the roots of the remaining mining areas with extremely low yields, and the eight kilograms of "cobalt gold mine" quietly appeared at the Nogerfogg auction, which really made a storm in the academy - but with Jeremy's words today, he basically ruled out Houdini's suspicion.

If it weren't for Houdini, the rest would be negotiable.

"Who the hell is it..."

Thinking about these things in his heart, after returning to the academy, he saw that Vice Dean Blas was on the training ground, and his face was excited and loudly reprimanded the more than twenty mages in front of him.

"What is this for?"

Blas Magister is the highest level of "combat training" in the academy, and is also the trainer for the contestants of the "Twilight Crown" conference. On weekdays, he is always good-natured, and Rotica has hardly seen him angry. So seeing him mad at this time, Rotica couldn't help but be a little curious and came over.

"Are you waste? Even if you have a hot brain, you can't be so stupid to send it!"

"What you see is an ordinary fireball, but haven't you ever thought about why people can smash you with a fireball alone to smash your crying father and mother?!"

"The first few are excusable, you!you!you!tell me what you thought at the time!?"

The Magister Blas almost poked his finger into the heads of these mages, and Councillor Rotica took a closer look, and it was a little strange: the young mages he sprayed were all "star figures" in the Ballenna Academy, or they were all "genius boys" who would have a promising future.

Usually it's too late to take care of the academy, why are you scolding so hard today?

"Ahem, Master Blas, dissipate your breath. If there is anything to say, let's say it calmly..."

Rotica knew that these "proud sons of the sky" were all arrogant people, and if they were scolded like this, they were afraid that it would be easy to have a rebellious mentality, so he stepped forward to round the scene - Blas turned around and found that it was him, but he was also very face-saving, so he eased down the steps and waved his hand to let the mages in front of him disperse:

"Go back and reflect on it, everyone writes me a report! At your level, you don't know how to die on the battlefield!"

Stopping the mages fleeing in embarrassment, Rotica wondered, "What happened? I remember that you never get angry on weekdays. ”
