Binglian felt the strength in her hand, and her heart was ashamed, but her face was only slightly red, and it was not conspicuous in the light of the magic lamp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info while holding hard back, while explaining in detail. Use four different magic mediums to draw energy from the Holy Demon Sea, and only water-based magic mediums have the effect of nourishing the body, so the other three systems are just ordinary people at the physical level, and death from injuries is also common. Therefore, these magician families who are based on the three lines of fire, qi and earth have a relatively clear calculation in terms of inheritance.

Jiao Ming remembered the little poem that only knew earth magic, it was really not reassuring in terms of physical health, if there were five or six such children, it was natural to set a succession order.

After explaining, Binglian took a serious attitude again and asked, "What is your impression of this city?"

Jiao Ming thought that the night chat was over, but he didn't want to have such a question, and he didn't understand the importance of 'feeling after viewing', so he replied: "I don't feel anything...... It's not comparable to my hometown city, you've seen it in the dream space. ”

"You don't think it's just a simple sightseeing day, do you?" asked Binglian in an accentuated tone.

"That's ......" Jiao Ming answered smoothly, and then saw that Binglian's expression turned sharp, he quickly swallowed back the word 'what are you doing', and used his brain to change his words: "...... Transforming the town of Changteng?"

Binglian nodded with satisfaction, Jiao Ming was secretly relieved, then frowned and scratched his head, and said, "This, eldest sister, I didn't graduate from urban design." ”

"It's okay, think slowly. When I wait for the capital of the Blue Python Kingdom, I will take a walk, and then it will be time to hand in the first draft. ”

Binglian obviously didn't care about Jiao Ming's shirking and bluntness, which made Jiao Ming very speechless, and women in the heart were really unreasonable.

"So the next question. ”

"How I feel like I'm back in school. ”

"Don't interrupt, what do you think of Master York?"

Jiao Ming flipped through his memories and relived the scene with Master York, and finally said: "Very approachable, and the appearance of wearing coarse cloth clothes is even somewhat similar to Master Marr." Why do you suspect there's something wrong with him?"

When York first appeared at noon, he was wearing the standard robe of the mage tower eight-ring magician, and before the trip, because of Binglian's suggestion, he changed into a coarse cloth clothes, which left a deep impression on Jiao Ming. At the same time, considering the situation of being hunted down and killed a few days ago and the problem of Ice Lotus, it is logical to ask this question.

"I just can't figure out what the Wizards Guild means. ”

"How?"

"Sending three eight rings, saying too much, saying a lot less, is neither completely insured nor like sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger. Binglian frowned and explained slowly, while also smoothing out her thoughts. "If this Master York is a disgusting fellow, such a personnel arrangement is also suspected of borrowing a knife to kill a spoonful of stew. If it is a treacherous person, it may be the internal response of the alchemist's lineage. But this loyal and honest appearance makes some sense. ”

Counting the number of eight-ring magicians that appeared along the way, there were already at least seven, and now there were six on their own side, and there were still three and a half remnants. The deployment of troops with the same tactics as this kind of refueling tactics is indeed suspicious, and if it is a whole and directly dispatches ten eight rings, wouldn't everything be solved. Thinking of this, Jiao Ming blurted out: "It's a bit like a bait." ”

Binglian was still frowning, obviously thinking of this a long time ago, but she couldn't find a basis for confirmation or falsification.

"Forget it, don't think about it, maybe something will change in two days. Jiao Ming felt distressed when he saw the pimple on Binglian's eyebrows, hugged his head like last time, and flattened his eyebrows with his thumb. "That's all for today. ”

Binglian nodded, shook her hand and extinguished the magic lamp, and said in a voice as thin as a gnat: "It's so late, they must all be asleep, it's not good to disturb the rest of the wounded, we might as well stay here for one night......

Jiao Ming's arm stiffened, his upper lip was hot, and he knew that he had a nosebleed. When I was thinking about it and didn't know how to answer, I heard the sound of the clothes rubbing, and my heart beat three points faster. At this moment, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the door, and then the sound of the door being pushed open and Xiao Shi's crisp children's voice sounded at the same time: "Brother, are you done talking? I'm scared and want to hold hands and sleep." Then there was a plop, but it was Xiao Shi who fell because of the dark action.

Jiao Ming's love for Xiaoshi was undoubted, and at this time, he didn't care about other things, so he hurriedly turned on the magic lamp to help Xiaoshi, and at the same time found that there was no ice lotus in the room, only the wooden door slowly closed. sighed in his heart, although the good things were stirred up, he couldn't blame Xiao Shi, after all, the tense and exciting experience of the past few days would inevitably make the uneasiness buried in his heart due to the crossing resurface.

Jiao Ming, who was like a brother, squeezed with Xiao Shi all night, until breakfast the next day, when he asked with a serious face whether Binglian could keep an account of what happened last night, and then was pinched as expected, by the way, Binglian also looked serious when she pinched people.

Formally dressed, Binglian and Jiao Ming made a place to meet with York Master Evan, and met with Hilly again, and after a brief greeting, they got to the main topic: the cement trade. When Ice Lotus offered to exchange the low-ring magical talent for cement, Cielry's expression was first unexpectedly surprised and then relieved. As a matchmaker in this trade, Evan first frowned and stared at the ice lotus, and then smiled after a long time: "I heard that the conditions proposed by the crocodile collar are always unexpected, and they really live up to their reputation." ”

Binglian smiled calmly, and instead of accepting this weird compliment, she asked, "I don't know what Sister Sylvie thinks?"

"May I think about it, how about a reply to you in the afternoon?"

Next, Evan took the three of them to the opera house in the city to enjoy a play of "Dragon Quest Saves the Princess", and the audience applauded. But this kind of performance that doesn't even have five-cent special effects, and the fantasy elements all rely on wooden props is so appetizing that I just want to poke myself in the eyes.

"How about we watch a movie in the dream space at night? Boredom, Jiao Ming whispered to the ice lotus beside him, and then suddenly opened his mouth wide, remembering the Shadow Machine. And doubts followed, and it should not be difficult to think about such a simple thing, why the Shadow Machine, which Vera said was 'very popular in the South', was missing. Without waiting for Binglian to answer the meeting in the dream space, Jiao Ming threw out a new question, and the two whispered like this, to no avail, and when the drama interlude, Jiao Ming asked Evan, who was well-informed and knew everything, about this.

And Evan lived up to expectations, and sure enough, he knew the probability, and said: "The Shadow Machine is indeed magical." Although the machine is simple to manufacture, the core film production requires a very expensive material, so it is not widely available. However, three years ago, there were rumors that a master in the Buck Kingdom had developed a cheap alternative formula, but there was no follow-up news and the film was still expensive, so it was thought that he was either a liar or a victim. That's all I know. ”

Jiao Ming barely maintained his composure, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.

Reminded by Evan's words, I remembered that film development seemed to require a precious metal called 'silver', and Old Man Thoreau only needed copper to provide a steady stream of film. Then there are two possibilities, one is that copper can also be used for chemical reactions in development, and the other is that the old man can turn 'copper' into 'silver'.

The first may be a direct denial, after all, the chemists of the earth are not dry food, and if copper can replace silver, it is impossible for no one to find out. The second one may be further divided into two levels. If 'enchantment' makes 'copper' jump down one square on the periodic table, reflecting some of the chemical properties of 'silver', it barely makes sense. If Old Man Thoreau really knows how to 'turn copper into silver', then Jiao Ming consciously wants to reshape the three views. Regardless of which one it is, the seven-ring magician doesn't seem to be wronged by holding such a secret and having his hands cut off.

Binglian, who was listening, did not have a deep understanding of chemistry as Jiao Ming, so she did not have any waves in her heart, but instead went to confirm the identity of Old Man Thoreau and asked Evan the name of the master who improved the formula. Evan thought about it, then said he couldn't remember.

The opera started again, Jiao Ming 'endured' in a daze, had lunch, and met with Hilly again with Binglian. Hilly apparently consulted with his staff, happily agreeing to the terms of the trade and adding to the details. The coolies can be traded directly at a low price, while the people are only responsible for the overall management and introduction, and the crocodile leaders are personally persuaded by the crocodile leader, and then the cement can be loaded and shipped away after the head is exchanged.

In this way, the condition of doing nothing and only drawing benefits is naturally just a 'sky-high asking price', and Binglian smiled slightly, and began to 'pay back the money on the ground', discussing the details with Hilly one by one, and finally reached a consensus and signed the contract before dinner. As the first cooperation, although the trade volume is not large, both parties are satisfied and optimistic about the subsequent expansion of trade.

At a simple celebratory dinner, Evan asks to go with everyone to the High School of Magic tomorrow.

"You know the dangers. Binglian asked.

"Six of the eight rings are in charge, and I don't think there is any danger. Evan still smiled gracefully.

Jiao Ming and Binglian glanced at each other and agreed. After the dinner was over and returned to the foothold, Jiao Ming said the guess of 'copper and silver', and Binglian pondered for a moment and then shook her head, saying that it was better to wait until she returned to the crocodile collar and wanted to talk to Old Man Thoreau in person.

Ready to leave the next day. The eight-ring magic warrior who carried the poem and didn't suffer too much damage was alive. The remaining two eight-ring magic warriors and Zimang were already able to walk on the ground, but their combat strength was only about six or seven percent. Huang Xia, who was the most seriously injured, was still bedridden, but the big hole in her stomach had grown new flesh, and she couldn't see her intestines.

Binglian and Huang Xia looked at each other for a few seconds, and then asked the most lively Eight Rings to carry Huang Xia on his back, get into the carriage provided by the Magician Association, and set off south together with Evan and everyone in the Magician Association.

The three eight rings brought more than 30 people, there were apprentices and servants, and there were no bright people for men, women and children. However, among the two entourages on Evan's side, there was a dark-skinned beauty. Out of instinct, Jiao Ming glanced at this 'Black Pearl' from a distance, and then did not squint in the cold snort of the ice lotus, and excused his behavior: "I think we should confirm Evan's identity, the Advanced Magic Academy is not a casual entry." And Hillry's attitude towards him is also interesting, a three-ring magic warrior would not be treated so politely. ”

Bing Lian no longer pursued the question of her eyes, and said along with this conversation: "Words and deeds are proof of his noble origin, and he can naturally be courteous. And since we talk about travel, we don't want to mention family background, and deliberate investigation is not beautiful. ”

Bing Lian had some praise for Evan in his words, Jiao Ming was not happy to hear it, and asked with a twist of his brain: "If you ask him about his family background bluntly, guess what his reaction is." ”

"Politely rebuffing an unreasonable request is a course of aristocratic etiquette training, and you don't have to think about it. Binglian smiled, seemingly amused by this 'childish' behavior. Then his eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, he seemed to understand something, his eyes fell on Evan's carriage again, and he asked, "In the past two days of getting along, have you noticed that Evan seems to know a lot about the inside of the Wizards Association?"

Jiao Ming nodded. Remembering yesterday's negotiations, Evan also knew the details of the cement trade between the Crocodile Collar and the Wizards Guild, which was not simple.

Then he was willing to accompany him, which on the other hand means that the journey should be safe. Binglian showed a reassuring smile, and then said, "It would be better if I could invite him over to talk and get more inside information." ”

"I'm going to be very unhappy. Jiao Ming straightened his face and feigned anger. Binglian pulled down the carriage curtain and pecked Jiao Ming's cheek.

......

The day's journey was as safe as Bing Lian thought, and even the desire to obtain information was realized, because during dinner, everyone gathered around the campfire to chat, and Bing Lian and Jiao Ming tacitly led the topic to the permanent spatial teleportation circle and its inventor, Master Keno. Evan followed by a conversation about Master Keno's recent situation.

Although Keno was semi-forced to take care of his housekeeping skills, the Wizards' Guild's compensation plan was very suitable: ten maids who were convex and backward. At the same time, he also asked him to give lectures at various magic academies, and he could brag as much as he liked, and even hooked up with female students and turned a blind eye.

Jiao Ming originally thought that this product was unlucky, but he didn't expect to live a very comfortable life, and said with a sigh: "This life sounds ...... It should be condemned!" Jiao Ming wanted to say that it was enviable, but he was 'touched' by Binglian in the back, so he had to pretend to be a decent gentleman.

Evan sees these small details, but only misses them, and smiles and talks about the vice president of the Wizards' Guild who is in charge of Keno: Sasu. First of all, he sang the praises of virtue, and then finally said something dry, the vice president's concept of magic technology is actually inclined to 'technology diffusion'.

Bing Lian and Jiao Ming glanced at each other, and they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes, in a concept, it was simply a clear stream in this magical world, and at the same time, it was also a countercurrent. Although the two of them also played like this in the crocodile territory, they didn't dare to publicize it, after all, if they committed public anger, they didn't know how to die.
