my age of magic

Chapter 1575 125. Rewards from the Research Institute
I widened my eyes and asked the Yerkes scholar, "Do you know what Master Bruce wants from me?"

Yerkes Scholar has been a close friend for many years with Lord Bruce in the academy. It was because of Lord Bruce’s recommendation that Yerkes Scholar was able to leave the El City Academy of War Magic and came to the Imperial Capital alone, and remained silent for three years in the Imperial Capital Afterwards, the three primary magic pattern structures were announced to the magic world of the imperial capital, causing a sensation in the imperial capital in one fell swoop.

He took a sip of black tea, then raised his head and said to me: "Well, it's probably about the announcement of the new rune board blueprint."

I was a little puzzled and asked: "This...haven't we announced it to the public?"

"Master Bruce probably wants to give you some compensation in the name of the Academy of Magic." Yerkes scholar replied.

It was snowing outside, falling from the gray sky one after another, pieces of snowflakes like goose feathers were constantly spinning in the sky, hit the glass windows with a whir, and piled up on the window panes, it looked a bit cold outside, A layer of frost hangs on the glass windows.

I leaned forward and lowered my voice to the Yerkes scholar, "Didn't you tell him that even if we publicly release the blueprint of the new rune tablet, it doesn't actually harm our interests?"

In the matter of announcing the new rune blueprint, although it seems that the interests of me and the Yerkes scholars have been sacrificed, in fact, the biggest beneficiaries are also us.

Even if the inscription masters of the Grimm Empire gain some benefits for nothing, everyone knows the production process of the metal magic pattern rune plate, but even if they know the production method, what can we do? We have a huge advantage in production costs, and through promotion For the metal magic rune plate, we can also sell the magic pattern blueprint of this metal plate, and we can also provide a large amount of red copper solution to the magic market in the future.

In this matter, the interests of the Babington family have probably been greatly affected. These new magic rune tablets will impact the Babington family's primary blank rune tablet market to a certain extent.

The Yerkes scholar spread his hands, indicating that he had already said it.

He said to me: "I said it, but he thinks this is a major event that can promote the development of the history of the magic of the Grimm Empire. No matter what the reason is, the Academy of Magic of the Imperial Capital should also give some comfort."

Hearing what the Yerkes scholar said, I felt warm in my heart, hurriedly ate the honey sauce steak on the plate, wiped the oil stains on the corners of my mouth, and said, "Uh! Okay! To be honest, I really have something to ask for recently. Master Bruce, help."

I said to Ying Li: "You wait for me at the research institute for a while, if you are bored, you can go to the trading hall below, or you can go to the magic potion department to visit the trial of new potions, etc. We'll go back to the Royal Academy of Magic in a while."

Ying Li nodded obediently, and said to me: "I'll wait for you in the trading hall on the first floor later, I just want to go to the potion store to learn about the market conditions of the potion market."

Although Ying Li majored in identifying magic herbs, she also knew how to prepare the most basic magic herbs. For a potionist, it was natural for her to keep abreast of the status of potions in the magic market.

I was in a hurry to see Vice President Bruce, so I left the cafeteria of the institute with the Yerkes scholar. Yingli, Helena, and Becky had nothing urgent to do, so I just watched the snow outside while slowly During the meal, they added a dessert.

Two weeks later, the final exam of the Royal Academy of Magic will be ushered in. After the exam, there will be a two-month-long winter vacation. I also want to take this opportunity to go to the wild swamp in Qiyan City to find the ancient altar. Deputy Bruce The dean once said to me that in order to awaken the incomplete soul deep in the body of Sister Guoguo's ice element, three conditions are required: the soul horn that can awaken the sleeping soul, the soul gem that carries the incomplete soul, and the awakening ceremony. The ancient altar is needed, and only when these three conditions are met can one try to awaken the soul of Sister Guoguo.

Justus has a soul horn in his hand, and I bought another soul gem from the auction house. As long as I find the ancient altar, the three conditions for awakening Sister Guoguo are fulfilled, but how to carry out this awakening ceremony? , I still need the help of Mr. Bruce. He promised me at the beginning that if I can meet these three conditions, he will help me wake up Sister Guoguo.

So before going to Strange Rock City, I would like to meet Vice President Bruce once, and make an appointment with him in advance.

I didn't expect that before I could find him, he would take the initiative to find me.

As the vice-president of the Imperial Magic Research Institute, Master Bruce manages most of the daily work of the Institute. At the same time, he is also the elder of the House of Representatives of the Imperial Capital Magic Union House. His usual work is also very busy. Scholar Yerkes and I rushed to meet him At that time, there were still a group of people waiting patiently in the rest area at the door of Master Bruce's office. When those people saw me and Scholar Yerkes, they nodded slightly as a greeting.

Scholar Yerkes and I sat down on the bench in the rest area. The people waiting at the door of Lord Bruce looked very strange, and they should not be magic scholars of the academy.

Before me and the Yerkes scholar arrived, these people sat there talking in low voices.

Yerkes scholars usually like to wear a set of gray magic robes at the research institute. At this time, there is a hood on the head to cover the face. The magic assistant of Lord Bruce recognized us at a glance and motioned us to wait here. Yes, he quietly turned and walked into the office.

At this moment, the people waiting at the door of Lord Bruce continued to talk in low voices:
"I heard that the Institute of Magic in the Imperial City already has metal smelting technology. This time, I want to buy the formula of red copper solution from the Institute." A middle-aged nobleman sitting on the far left of the opposite bench lowered his voice. .

There was a magician sitting next to him, but obviously this magician did not have the badge of the Imperial Capital Research Institute on his chest, so he should not be an insider of the research institute. At this time, he heard him ask: "What does the Alchemy Union say?"

The middle-aged noble also sighed lightly, and then said: "The Alchemy Guild has been concentrating on the research of 'metal transformation' in recent years, and the friend over there said that this metal solution formula does not belong to the Alchemy Guild, so I I just came to the institute to try my luck."

All the people around were listening to the conversation between the middle-aged nobleman and the magician, and the middle-aged nobleman obviously didn't feel that these words needed to be kept secret.

The magician heard the middle-aged nobleman talk about metal transformation, "hehe" sneered and said: "The metal transformation of the Alchemy Guild? Haha! Is it the undead water with 200 magic spar? This formula If I buy it, I need at least [-] years without eating or drinking, and I must have enough undead essence to convert the water element to earn back this alchemy formula."

After hearing the magician's complaints, the two magicians on the opposite side were obviously a little unhappy, and one of them immediately retorted: "No one is forcing you to buy, this kind of transaction is voluntary."

It goes without saying that these two magicians came from the Alchemy Guild, and when they heard someone mocking the Alchemy Guild, they immediately counterattacked.

The magician sitting opposite said at this time without showing any weakness: "It's a pity that the Magic Guild doesn't have the courage to let the Alchemy Guild release the undead water formula for free, haha."

The two magicians from the Alchemy Guild were so angry that their heads were smoking, and they said, "You... have such a beautiful idea!"

In the imperial capital, many noble lords will fund or recruit some magicians for their own use. This middle-aged nobleman should probably have this kind of relationship with the magician, and the two magicians on the opposite side should be from the Alchemy Guild. In a few words, These two groups of people sarcasm each other like needlepoints. In fact, I still want to know about the transformation formula of 'Undead Transformation Water'. Simply explained, it is to transform the essence of the undead into the essence of water through magic rituals.

The essence of water is a high-level magic material. Only high-level water elemental creatures can conceive the essence of water, such as the water system contract partner of Xiao En scholar, but this kind of water element is difficult to hunt.

As for the essence of the undead, it is the essence bred in the soul fire of the undead family. However, this kind of undead essence is very rare in ordinary skeletons and zombies. It is easy to obtain, but the essence of the undead is far easier to obtain than the essence of the water element, especially now that the Pai Plateau is being invaded by the army of the undead, and the strong of the orc tribe will inevitably obtain some essence of the undead.

Hearing them talk about "undead water", I suddenly realized that there is actually a huge business opportunity in front of me. Taking advantage of the war between the orc tribe and the undead army, I should let Marvin send people to buy a batch of undead essence from the orc tribe, no, At least you need to understand the market situation of the magic market in the imperial capital first...

I was thinking about how to handle this matter, when I heard Lord Bruce's magic assistant come out of the room, walked up to Yerkes scholar and me, and said: "Yerkes scholar, Jijia magician, please follow me!" I come."

Hearing the words of the magic assistant, the air at the door of the office seemed to freeze instantly, and everyone shut their mouths because of suffocation.

"..."

When we were about to enter Lord Bruce's office, the group of people resumed chatting. The middle-aged noble just sighed and said: "It's actually a Yerkes scholar, hey! Why didn't I see it just now? In the morning, I was still participating I just saw the public release of the new rune board blueprints in front of the Inscriber's Union building, why didn't I see it just now!"

The magician sitting beside him persuaded him rationally: "Forget it, everyone has walked in, why are you still sighing there, think about what to do..."

……

Mr. Vice President Bruce got up to send off a group of guests. Scholar Yerkes and I waited in front of the square table of the magic assistant. When Mr. Bruce turned around and returned, he said kindly to me with a smile on his face. : "I have seen the design drawing of your new magic rune board, the design is very clever."

As he said that, he walked into the office with his arms around my shoulders. Vice-principal Bruce is a tall man, wearing a large magic robe and looking dignified. I just wanted to push this matter to the Yerkes scholar, but he directly He interrupted, "Don't tell me that Yerkes designed it. I know Yerkes better than you. I have been a close friend with him for more than [-] years. Although he has countless strange ideas in elementary magic lines Wonderful idea, but he is a very traditional magician. He said that he would never try this new type of magic pattern according to the magic rules, but the magic world of the Green Empire should have fresh ideas and vitality like you. blood."

Scholar Yerkes and I exchanged glances, and Scholar Yerkes told me with his eyes that he hadn't said this to Lord Bruce.

Master Bruce led us into the conference area, we sat around a round table, and the assistant brought us bitter tea with the flavor of sedative grass.

Master Bruce waved his hand and said: "Since the magic giant crossbow showed great effect in the war of planes, the magic union sent a letter to the research institute, asking me to come forward to persuade you to publish the design drawings of the new magic pattern, At first I ignored them, but later, as the battles of Ye Luo, Luo Qi, and Ahn Qirador planes were victorious one after another, they also realized the powerful power of the new magic patterns on the battlefield, so they kept urging me. "

I'm a little depressed. No matter what I do, the magic union seems to want to intervene.

Master Bruce continued to say to me: "The people from the Magic Guild went too far with the matter of the fish skin hood before, so I pressed this matter again and again. Later, I communicated with Yerkes in private, and he said Discuss with you, I didn't expect you to agree so readily."

The reason why he agreed was actually to make the market for the metal magic pattern rune board bigger, so that more people could accept this new type of rune board.

Master Bruce said with emotion: "In the past two years, the new type of magic pattern has been plundering cities and lands in the magic market, and has opened up a world in the imperial capital very brutally. This shows that the new type of magic pattern rune board is overwhelming the traditional rune board. This time you can release the blueprint of the new-style magic rune board to the public, which is also promoting the development of the Grimm Empire magic rune board. Here I think I'll give you some rewards."

He looked at the Yerkes scholar first, then at me, and said, "So I'm going to ask for your opinions to see what kind of rewards you need, epic magic wands, high-level magic materials, a sum of money. Magic spar, taboo-level magic book, a piece of territory on a certain plane, or other things, you can bring it up, if you can satisfy it, the research institute will not be too stingy."

Hearing Mr. Bruce said that the institute would give us certain rewards, the Yerkes scholar and I exchanged glances, and the Yerkes scholar was not polite, and said first: "If there is a suitable one, I really want a copy." A magic book about magic circles."

"Jijia, what about you?" Master Bruce asked me with a smile.
