Kaichi rode his bicycle back home, unconcerned about the envious and curious gazes of the people.

It took him about a month to build the bike, mostly on the bearings and tires. But after the first one is ready, the next one will be much faster.

But he didn't continue to make bicycles, mainly because this kind of hand-built bicycle was too time-consuming, and the cost was high, so it can be said that ordinary rules are not necessarily willing to buy, and the price of buying such a bicycle is almost more than a luxury carriage.

After all, is it purely handmade, and it is also handmade by the future mage.

He just published a separate paper on the bearings, tires, and bicycles, and then sent a drawing to the Valoka Chamber of Commerce. Building a bicycle is more for fun, to vent the energy that Jia Yi has nowhere to use.

Later, Dai'er asked Jiayi to make them a Jiayi, but they didn't agree, but they just threw the drawings to them and let them build them themselves. With Daile's strength, it may be slower to make than Jiayi, but there is no problem at all.

However, Dai'er's bicycle has not yet been built, and now they can only ride on Jiayi's car, or learn, they have not been able to learn this kind of car for the first time, and Flower is better, after all, he has studied knight courses, and his sense of balance is better.

Today Imu gives a holiday.

Jia rode back, this wasn't the first time he had ridden home, he had just put the tires on his bike and rode back to town. It's to test the performance of the tires, but it's actually to show off in town.

However, there were still very few people in the town who knew about bicycles, and as he rode them, he saw more confused eyes, as if wondering what it was.

Although he rode the bike home, he did not tell his family that it was made by himself, and that Imu was a good interface, and he only said that the teacher had bought it from far away and borrowed it. It's not good for him to give a bicycle to his family, although it's nothing to himself, but it's still too high-profile for the town.

Jia Yi still put himself in a relatively weak position, but he didn't know that he was already famous among the mage group.

......

The Bernarungen Elementary Mage Education Institute, Imu's alma mater, where each mage subscribes to several periodicals, although some of them are too high-end to understand themselves, but they must also understand.

The most popular magazines here are such as "Wizard's Monthly", "Magical Wonders", "Alchemy", and "Apothecary". Because this kind of magazine is easier to understand, it is generally also a specific application of magic or the method of making an item, which can be easily practiced. For these mages who are still studying in school, the level is just right.

Early in the morning, Ivy went to the school's newspaper room and picked up the magazines he had subscribed to, a thick stack of about 7 or 8 copies. He didn't order these magazines alone, they were ordered by a small group, and everyone negotiated with each other to subscribe to a copy of what they were most interested in, and then everyone exchanged views with each other.

A magazine is not cheap, in addition to the cost of printing, the bulk is the cost of transportation, and the reviewers who review the submitted papers are at least white-robed mages, and several top magazines also have special legendary mage reviewers. Although most of these reviewers are part-time and semi-part-time, it is impossible for the magazine to say nothing.

After all, the sentiment will always retreat.

All of these things determine that magazines cannot be cheap, and mages, in order not to be out of touch with mage society, must subscribe to at least 3 or 5 magazines, and in order to save costs, most of them are booked together.

They also subscribed to several magazines, but they lived in too remote areas, so they had to go to the provincial capital every two weeks to pick them up.

Ivey grabbed the magazine, had breakfast by the way, and went to the shade of the lake on campus. There is no class today, and a few of their classmates or friends will get together to read and discuss, and every time a new magazine comes out, it will be like this.

When he reached the lake, no one else came, so he sat down by himself, opened the magazine, and began to read.

The first thing he looked at was the magic curiosity, which he was most interested in, because it was less demanding on raw materials, after all, it was a magazine for mages at the bottom end. The crafting of magic items is not like a potion, if the potion fails, it will be scrapped, but except for a few materials, most of the metal materials of magic items can be remade, and if they are broken, they can be re-smelted and re-smelted.

Therefore, for people like Ive, making magic items is a good means to subsidize themselves, so they will be most interested in magical curiosities.

Although the manufacture of magical objects and alchemy are both about the manufacture of magical items, the former is more creative, while the latter is more technical and has a different emphasis.

"Ivey, you're here so early. As he spoke, a sleepy-eyed man sat down next to Ivy with a loaf of bread and a layer of honey in his hand.

"Vorster, this is your "Apothecary", remember to wash your hands before reading the book. Ivey didn't lift his head, and pointed directly to the magazine next to him.

Vorster didn't care, everyone had been together for so long, and everyone's personality was clear. He swallowed the bread in his hand in two bites, condensed a water mass out of thin air, washed his hands, and then a burst of hot air gushed out of his hands, dried his hands, and sat down to read.

Ivy looked up at Vorster a little and said, "You shouldn't abuse magic like this, magic isn't for such trivial things. ”

"You, it's just that your mind is too rigid, and there is no dusting in magic, and there is no preservation technique, and we should make full use of magic in our lives, instead of offering it respectfully. ”

"If you're not religious about magic, magic won't help you. ”

Although the two have different views, these words are more like whining when they are bored, and neither expects to be able to convince the other. The most important thing is to get along with people while reserving differences, and it is impossible to expect to be completely like-minded, and it is impossible to have the same interests, even if you are in love.

"Do you have anything new on there?" Vorster asked, flipping through the magazine.

"I don't see it, most of them are nothing new, or they are of little use to us, such as the opening one, the flight circle of the airship has been improved, can we build a take-off boat? I haven't seen the rest yet. Ivey replied.

"None of these improvements are very useful, or the materials are too expensive, at most they can only be regarded as new, but there are no breakthroughs. Vorst glanced at the paper that Ivy had pointed out, and rammed it off.

He didn't really know much about what Ivy said, after all, he didn't read it carefully, and he was good at potion making, and he was not proficient in the production of magic items. It's just that Ivey can't say it well, and he talks the most nonsense, and it seems that he has said a lot, but it's all general, and he answers.

Ivy glanced at him, but didn't speak. He knew that these papers were not as bad as Vorster said, but relative to his own level, the strength of the good self was not enough—not only the magic strength, but also the capital. It's okay to make a reference for some more general papers, but it's not realistic to make money with this.

He continued to scroll down the pages of the book when he suddenly saw a unique car with only two wheels, and he felt unsteady on his feet. He didn't care about it, thinking it was a special magic car, but when he saw that the name seemed a little familiar, he continued to look at it.

"Can such a car run? And this Jia Yi is familiar. Ivey muttered to himself.

Vorster heard it and said, "Isn't that the second author who invented the charcoal filtration method?"

"It turned out to be him, he was the one who invented the fountain pen, and it was really good to use and durable, except that it was a little more expensive. ”

"What's wrong with him?" Seeing Ivey suddenly mention Jiayi, Vorster was curious.

Ivy handed the magazine to Vorster and said, "He invented a car, you see." ”

Vorster took it: "He's invented again, the fountain pen is fine, and the charcoal filtration technique that he and himself have always invented is now an important technology in pharmacy." But speaking of which, this paper has been around for several years, and now there is only a second row, and there are not many papers. ”

"Do you know how old he is?"

Without waiting for Vorster to answer, he continued, "He's still an apprentice in magic, and he's in his teens now. ”

"So young, still a magic apprentice, how do you know?"

"I went to the parliament's registration database and found that one of my children was a staff member of the association. He is a newly registered member of the Guild and an apprentice in magic. When he invented the fountain pen a few years ago, it seemed that he had only just learned magic. ”

"Ah, I can't imagine it, the fountain pen must have made him a fortune, except for some old antiques now, he uses fountain pens. Damn, there are two papers in the back, and he actually sent three papers at once. ”

Vorster simply flipped over the bicycle paper to the next page, and found that it was another Jiayi paper, and after a closer look, it turned out that the bearing inside the bicycle was taken out and a paper was written, and then turned back, and there was another one, which almost didn't scare Vorster.
