Chapter 369: Magic Shop?
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
However, after all, hugging your thighs is not wishful thinking, and if you want to be favored, you must also have the value of being used...... Otherwise, it's like those who don't know English, have no ability, and haven't even been to the city government.
However, the eight-ring magic ...... At least when she encounters some cunzi who is looking for trouble, this girl is enough to be a good helper, but only if she can use her strength just right.
Or, should you have a general understanding of the divine arts, and then help her decide what divine power to pray for every day?
Looking at the grinning little face in front of him, Edward couldn't help but smile, and reached out to scratch the bridge of her nose, letting the little girl stroke like a cat, gesturing to bite his neck. However, he was held down on the forehead by the psychic warlock, and he couldn't succeed.
"Well, Edward, let me ask you something. After making a fuss for a while, the little lady suddenly quieted down, blinked her clear eyes, and said in a serious voice: "If one day, I fall out with someone else, well, for example, that rotten melon, I mean, if something happens, it will ...... Well, you have to choose between the two of us, which one will you choose?"
"Huh?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid! Look me in the eye and answer me seriously!"
"Well, why do you two have to choose one or the other?The Dark Lady doesn't have any special conflict with the Queen of Spiders, strictly speaking, Drow and the half-elves are still a little related, not to mention that one is on the ground and the other is underground, and they don't interfere with each other......"
"Don't try to beat me haha!" This answer obviously did not make the little girl feel pleasant, and she grabbed Edward's head and forcibly met his gaze. She said word for word: "In other words, which rotten melon are you likely to choose, isn't it?"
"No, I'll choose you, okay. ”
"Hmph! no sincerity at all! I don't believe it!" the little girl puffed out her cheeks fiercely, "Damn Edward, remember." I'm a strong ...... right now Even if you die, maybe I can bring you back to life!I, Lisa, Linobili, swear in the name of the Dark Lady! So, you have to sue me for me, it's me. Or is it her? You have to pick one! Otherwise, I'll let all the half-elves move out of your ruined city!"
"Do you need to be so solemn...... Edward couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "Spare me, Miss." ”
The so-called choices usually have premises, for a hunter who has long been soaked in various conspiracy theories. As for the Psychic Warlock, reason is the basis of his thinking most of the time, so it is obviously difficult for a strong man to let him decide things regardless of any premise, especially when there are still a bunch of failures in his mind.
All right. In fact, having said that, this little lady's appearance is closer to the appearance of the girls he is familiar with - the girls in his memory, it is normal to be coquettish and play a little petty...... But this world is difficult to survive, and humans mature earlier, so it doesn't matter if it's Elena or Cecilia. are too shrewd and mature, and even less naïve than him.
Therefore, rational consideration is obviously useless to deal with nonsense...... Looking at this little lady's face seriously, her thin brows furrowed. A pair of big eyes stared at his appearance seriously, Edward couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable in his heart, so he smiled, and he simply reached out to wrap his hand around the slender shoulder of the half-elf. Squinting his eyes, he lowered his lips to her forehead......
Supple. Moist to the touch.
Edward was stunned, and then noticed that the ghost girl somehow suddenly straightened up, and caught his lips with his lips, and then a small tongue slid mischievously into his mouth, licking his teeth a little awkwardly. Then, with both hands, he put his arms around his neck fiercely and did not let him leave.
"Hee-hee, well, since the kiss is used instead of the answer, I'll just say yes to you. After a few moments, Miss Half-Elf fled violently, a smile on her little face flushed with a successful conspiracy.
"Uh-huh. A gentle cough interrupted the fight, and Anna Sue walked into the room, blankly lining the slices of bread, milk, and fried eggs on the table from the tray in her hand, as if she was well suited to the job. It's just that after doing this, she stood still and stared at Edward, intentionally or unintentionally, with a bit of mockery in her gray eyes.
"Well, that ......" For a moment, the Psychic Warlock was somewhat embarrassed...... As for him and the half-elves, this staff lady undoubtedly knew the most, and maybe even a little too much - after all, the last time he was in the palace, he couldn't explain that it was just a gun wipe, and he hadn't gone off yet. And now, the other party has obviously put some special aristocratic hobbies firmly on Edward's head in his heart, even if Edward can choose not to explain, but the feeling of being misunderstood always makes people feel a little awkward.
Why don't you use modified memories to get rid of these things?
"Boom!" exploded with a loud bang, interrupting the psychic mancer's thoughts. finally gave him an excuse to escape from this troublesome scene.
......
"Well, my lord, you're back, go and see, old fellows...... No, those masters, no matter how much we persuade them, they didn't listen, last night, they dismantled the machine you made, and now, again, it's broken again, we almost ......"
Stepping out of any door, old Hans with a surprised face hurriedly greeted him. Bitterness and hatred began to chatter.
In fact, the old butler's statement was somewhat concealed, and as he approached the clearing, Edward had already noticed the oil press that had collapsed into pieces...... The shell had been cracked into seven or eight pieces, and it had fallen miserably to the side, and the four propeller shafts had fallen around the square, three large craters had been smashed into the ground, and the last metal pillar had been embedded in the roof of the nearby smelting workshop.
And in the midst of the mess, several perpetrators ...... The old mages who had once again been assigned to Edward's territory by the School of Spelling were apparently not spared—their robes were spotless due to the addition of magic, but other than that, several of their heads were shivering and sneezing vigorously from the cold and smell of the oil. Even though they were scrambling to use magic to clean up, for a while, it only made the half-bald heads more polished.
"Ah...... Well, well, Lord Edward. This ...... It's a, that unfortunate accident, and we just wanted to see how much power it could withstand, you know, this ...... It's just a mage's curiosity. You know. This, this...... Mages always have to do some research on new things, and it's natural to do so. It's a matter of nature. ”
Noticing the black robe, the five old guys looked at each other, and finally, the old Yang Ge, who was the leader, remembered to speak and explained stumblingly.
They can be said to be more familiar with Edward's great achievements. After all, it's not the first time they've dealt with each other, so they don't have the slightest contempt for this little ghost) Whether it's the huge tower, the incomparably complicated magic circle in it, or this city built out of thin air, it's enough to leave the little arrogant and broken scum in their hearts.
In its place, there is a vague sense of awe.
Especially when noticing the twisted smile on the corner of the young man's pale mouth. Yang Ge and several of his partners couldn't help but shiver in unison. It seems that some unpleasant memories float in my mind.
"Yes, Master Younger, what drives a mage is always their curiosity to explore all things, otherwise. Even if he is able to cast legendary spells, he is not a true mage. Sweeping his gaze around him, the young lord smiled.
These guys, in fact, have a bit of ink. Apparently experimenting with some elegant principles...... In fact, there is nothing technical about this kind of thing as a hydraulic press, to their intelligence. After a little thought, it is not difficult to slowly reassemble this kind of thing, and even if you build a new one, it will not take much effort......
However, a mercenary-turned-guy obviously can't let things be left like this, is there?
The young man's seemingly indifferent expression made a few old guys breathe a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, that's right, that's what I want to say, let's ......" but before they finished speaking, Edward had already continued slowly. "But plagiarizing other people's achievements, I remember that this doesn't seem to be a trivial matter in the academy's rules?"
Plagiarism is usually only a matter between mages of the same level, and it is a common thing for a high-level mage like Lao Yang to 'accidentally' coincide with an apprentice's idea.
The problem is that the apprentice in front of him is not an ordinary apprentice.
The faces of several old fellows were suddenly full of embarrassment.
"Ah, there's nothing non-negotiable, this little gadget is not a secret, as long as a few people make a new one, no problem," the words lightly made a few old guys' faces a little pale, but when Edward's next few words came out, those old faces suddenly turned black as if they had been blessed with shadow spells.
The speed at which his face changed could simply catch up with the Rainbow Light Law Wall.
The young man's explanation was exhaustive, and even the detailed drawings were taken out, but he said that although the ability of the old guys was not very high, no matter how he calculated, the final assembled thing was at least four times larger than his original thing!
Although they are no strangers to the magic of the magic workmanship, I am afraid that it will still take all the high-level spell slots of the previous day to shape such a big thing, and what is even more hateful is that the little ghost finally added with a smile: "A few masters, it is like this, because there may be problems in the assembly of parts from time to time, so it is better to bother a few people for each thing, and make more of them, as a spare item, or a replacement repair part." ”
But this kind of metal plate wall that is a foot thick can't be warped even if you use magic attacks, right?
"That...... All right. ”
Young's beard trembled, and he gritted his teeth hard before he suppressed the urge to give the hateful smiling face a fireball spell......
After all, it was only a few days of hard work, and they were not without gains, at least some parts of the creation would give them a lot of inspiration for the Golem components, especially the simple mechanism that could produce a great deal of power with a small amount of power, but could be done with only a little oil.
Therefore, since the assignment of the academy can no longer be avoided, it is simply so. It's better to adapt to the situation quickly, and a mage's intuition is still faintly reminding Old Yang Ge that this little ghost can bring him more than he imagined.
Spent a day here. He's already found so many amazing things. For example, the bellows used on the blacksmith's furnace are not the skins that press up and down as I remember, nor are they constant wind magic. It was a huge snail-like shell, and several people worked together to turn a grip in the center. A fierce wind blew through the tube into the charcoal furnace, and the terrible heat of the charcoal fire made it impossible for anyone unblessed with magic to get close.
In fact, there seem to be quite a few in this territory, which don't require magic. Something that can produce strange effects...... Oh, by the way, and, I recently heard that the young genius mage in the academy, Minahir, seems to have been inspired by this little imp to recreate a legendary flying ship......
And also......
"This, Lord Edward, this is the one you use for this kind of drawing. Material...... Where did you buy it?" Putting away the extremely detailed drawings drawn in a way he had never seen before, Old Yang couldn't help but ask again.
The papers in Edward's hands were naturally all of the finest colors he had made, fine and smooth. The color is white and exudes a unique fragrance. And this never-before-seen light white paper, for a lifetime a third of the time with ink, quill. And people who deal with words, it is indeed an unusual temptation.
"Huh, do you like that?" said Edward.
"Hmm. Just curious, curious. ”
"I can give you some, but this thing is more expensive, so ......"
Well, to be short, after an hourglass scale, when Edward walked away, his fortune had been added to the sum of a hundred pieces of paper for a fine gem the size of a pigeon's egg...... Well, these mages can definitely take the top spot in the list of losers, and they have never had a concept of money.
Speaking of which...... Although those knight novels have begun to be sold, it seems that his paper has not yet gone to those high-level buyers.
Edward patted his head in fear, and suddenly remembered. This thing, in this era, can easily become a profitable business - when the first zuò came out, I once considered selling for money, but because there have been more things recently, I simply forgot about it.
In fact, not to mention such high-quality paper, even if it is ordinary paper, the price will never be cheap, this thing will not be manufactured in various countries, and can only be purchased from their own hands, otherwise they can only use parchment, but it is more expensive. And it's even heavier and more inconvenient, even the parchment made of magic zuò is more than twice as thick as a hundred sheets of paper, and although it is stronger, it is actually about the same for magicians.
However, the production of such things will inevitably increase in the end, and the mass production of things will eventually become a large bargain because of the increase in production...... This is the most proud specialty of the citizens of a large country, from socks and underwear to heavy machinery, and even destroyers and frigates can be the price of cabbage.
Speaking of which, there seem to be a lot of original things in my hands, shouldn't I also consider getting a new source of money?
However, ordinary business is not profitable at all because too many people do it......
How about a magic shop?
When it comes to business, according to the urine nature of capitalism, it is natural that only the business with large profits is business...... Then, luxury goods have become a natural good choice, and the most luxurious things in this world are naturally magical items.
As the Chief Apprentice, he has the privilege of buying the products in the Mage's Shop at the cheapest price, and being familiar with a salesperson, or not being able to minimize the price, is enough to get a lot of internal care, such as buying something that is the best of a large number of products, or adjusting the internal price of gold coins.
Other problems are not a problem, the location and personnel, etc., he remembers that the little girl still has a few shops in his hands, just find one and reopen it, as for taking care of the upper echelons...... Well, who is so bold as to find fault with the prince's trainer?
As for the goal......
Those generation of aristocrats.
They are usually the senior servants of some big nobles, with the title of nobility but no territory, and the actual status is not very high, in the eyes of ordinary people, their rights are not necessarily worse than some second- and third-rate nobles, but in fact, those powers do not belong to them, and they can't even own too much private property, once they lose the background, they are often inferior to some merchants.
But these people also have a very strong sense of vanity, and even because they live on people's nose all the time, this feeling is even stronger, and they will certainly not be willing to live less decently than the common people.
In fact, it seems that in every era, the real target of those merchants is this kind of class of people, right?
These people are numerous, influential, and have complex relationships, and above all they do not have much money, and it is impossible to accept this new "luxury" in its entirety, so that they can only develop in the elegant side. Through this group of people, the trend will spread further and become more suitable for the aristocracy.
