my age of magic

Chapter 610 109. Goblin and Mountain City

Louis said excitedly: "Yes, I want all these herbs. As for the price, just follow the current market price. Ji Jia, you have helped me a lot, I really don't know how to thank you!"

I smiled modestly and said: "It's nothing, Noah and I are good friends, we should help each other, but the price, the price of herbs in the imperial capital is a bit inflated now, and now according to the price of these elementary magic herbs purchased by the trading company in various places It is more reasonable to calculate twice the average price, even if I am already making a lot of money!"

Louis shook his head again and again and said, "How can that be done, Jijia, do you know how much money you will lose? In the past few days in the imperial capital, the price of primary magic herbs has tripled. Moreover, within the scope of the imperial capital, Even if you have money, it is very difficult to buy magical herbs such as hemostatic grass, not to mention that you have helped me so much, even if you go at the normal price, there is no reason for you to suffer."

Noah and Bud on the side looked at me and Luis a little stupidly. Others bargained for nostalgia to make more money, but Luis and I pushed the gold coins we got out and gave in to each other, just like these gold coins are hot Same.

I argued with Louis a little bit red-faced. As a noble knight, Louis has a gentleman's demeanor in his bones. He has been influenced by noble etiquette since he was a child, so he will never take advantage of this. If he takes advantage of this , as if insulting his personality, not to mention that the Mensa family has ruled Palestina Province for hundreds of years. There has never been a shortage of gold coins. In the private plane of the Mensa family, there are two gold mines alone. seat.

Both Louis and I refused to give in, so we had to find a compromise. I asked Louis, "Louis, does the Emerald Bay Trading Company have its own blacksmith shop?"

Before dinner, Louis had already changed out of his silver scale armor and ring armor. He was wearing a tight-fitting silk trousers top. His body was strong and burly, and he had the unique charm of a mature man. The benches placed at the entrance of the business house attracted the hot eyes of some passing girls on the street. The women in the imperial capital seemed more bold and unrestrained than the women in El City.

Regarding the family business, Louis said quite proudly: "Of course! The Emerald Bay Trading Company is actually an agent in the imperial capital to sell the products of the entire Palestina Province."

What Louis said is not an exaggeration at all. The status of the Mensa family in Palestina province is equivalent to that of the Aili family in Sloit province, and they have an absolute right to speak within the province.The Emerald Harbor Trading Firm is actually acting as an agent for the commercial trade of the entire Palestina Province. The Mensa family not only owns their own blacksmith shop, but even has the right to call any blacksmith shop in the province.This is the supreme right of the Grand Duke Mensa.

"Then can I customize some special equipment and tools?" I was delighted in my heart, and gestured to Louis for the approximate size.

In El City, those small blacksmith workshops could not process the tools I designed, mainly because these small blacksmith shops did not have advanced metallurgical furnaces, and there was not enough molten iron in the crucible to cast those large ones. Parts, so those equipment and tools have been shelved until now, and I can only buy the most basic tools in El City.Originally, I wanted to find a large blacksmith shop in the imperial capital, and then make those parts batch by batch.

Now with Louis' relationship, things suddenly became much simpler.

Louis's skirt was slightly open, and there was a fine layer of golden chest hair on his broad chest.He said confidently: "As long as you are willing to sell those herbs to me, even if you let me help you ride a few siege artillery vehicles, there will be no problem."

The siege cannon is a large-scale siege device, and it is a magical device like the magic caravan.To manufacture such a large siege weapon requires the permission of the imperial military, and this thing is strictly controlled by the empire.It is said that the entire body of the siege artillery vehicle is engraved with the magic circle of the wind and earth elements. The siege artillery vehicle itself has huge power, and can project several tons of large stones several kilometers away from the city. It is a siege weapon.

The equipment I want to make is of course not a siege artillery vehicle, but an auxiliary support and a large spreader for fortification.I need to make some giant pickaxes for digging rocks and some large scaffolding. I have prepared these blueprints a long time ago, but I have not found a blacksmith shop with the ability to process large parts.

I said to Louis: "As for the blueprint, I will give it to you tomorrow. As for the cost, it will be fully converted according to these herbs!"

In this way, I barely reached a preliminary agreement with Louis.Afterwards, Noah and I left the Emerald Bay Trading Company in the magic caravan.

I want to prepare primary magic herbs that can make three thousand small doses of healing potions before sunrise tomorrow morning.

It seems that tonight, I will let the orcs in the underground cave carry out those hemorrhoids overnight.

The red-leaved maple trees on both sides of the street flashed back from the window one after another, and a cool evening breeze blew in from the car window. I was thinking about the night's work in my heart.

……

The magic caravan passed through the wide avenue of the third district and merged into the traffic flow. With the sunset and sunset, it reflected the red clouds in the sky, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be burning.

"Oh, it's Huoshaoyun!" I looked out the window and blurted out a loud shout, which caused passers-by on the side of the road to turn their heads to look at it, but the magic caravan carried by horses and horses was running wildly on the long street. A vague figure could be seen in the carriage.

When I think that my mountain city in Xinliu Valley, which is on the verge of shutdown, can continue to be built, my mood suddenly becomes very good.

Noah, who was sitting across from me, put on a very serious look and said to me: "Jijia, you are really stubborn, how did I make a friend like you? Others are eager to take a little more of Louis You are the only one who is constantly trying to find some balance, and you are not willing to take advantage of any advantage. Are all people from the northern border as bold and simple as you? I like dealing with people from the northern border."

I said to him: "When I have a chance in the future, I will introduce my friends from El City to you!"

"Okay!" Noah readily agreed, and then asked me curiously, "What kind of tools do you want Louis to make for you? Why don't you just buy them in the store?"

I don't know how to explain it: the tools for the savages are simply not available on the market.He just said: "Of course, there are some things that cannot be bought in the market, that is, the larger chisels, hammers, crowbars, axes, and some large mechanical parts, that's about it!"

"Jijia, what exactly do you want to do?" He didn't understand my thoughts a little bit.

"Build yourself a manor or castle, if you have the chance!" I answered truthfully.

Now Noah is even more confused. He doesn't understand what I need these tools for. In his opinion, I should focus on my studies at the Magic Academy now.Instead of the barren land owned by the canonized third-class baron.So he said to me: "Did you prepare a little early! You don't want to build a manor on that piece of barren land that was given to you when you were canonized as a baron, right?"

"What's wrong with that?" I asked Noah with a smile.

I really have this idea, but it will be at least a few years away.I own a stone mine and a lake on a barren plane of the Grand Duke's Mansion in Sloit City.I want to build a small manor there, at least I want the people within my territory to live a prosperous life.

"It's a remote place, so what's there to do?" Noah said with a 'hum', looking bored.

Every magic apprentice who awakens the magic pool will be canonized as a third-class baron by Emperor Charles the Great of the Grimm Empire, and will be rewarded with a barren territory.

Few magicians can value that territory. They pay more attention to the study of magic. The territory with almost no real income is just a symbol. Most magicians will let the residents in those territories develop freely , Even some magicians have never visited his territory for a lifetime.

Noah also looked at those barren territories in the same way. He sat on the magic caravan and even started to encourage me: "Jijia, after we graduate, let's form a mercenary group together, and then go to a new plane with abundant resources to open up territories. , we can borrow a few knights from Louis, he has a few knights who are very good at fighting, then we will soon establish a territory of our own on the resource-rich plane, and then we can be neighbors!"

Most of the resource-rich planes are in the hands of the nobles. There are countless knights, mercenaries, or small nobles who are vassals of these wealthy nobles. Land of abundance, and then organize an army or a mercenary regiment, teleport to this plane, and open up new territories for the empire.

According to the decree of the empire: After the knights or mercenary groups have opened up new territories, [-]% of the territory belongs to Charles the Great of the Green Empire, and another [-]% of the territory belongs to the owner of this plane, the so-called wealthy family. , the remaining [-]% of the territory can be considered as the territory opened up by oneself.

The titles of the nobles of the Green Empire are directly related to the territory they own. The higher the title, the wider the territory the noble owns.

Obviously, Noah's graduation idea is very good. Many young and promising aristocratic sons in aristocratic families will, after graduation, bring the power of the knights in the family to enter the plane run by their own family and open up a land of their own. territory, so as to promote his title.

It should also be a sense of accomplishment to be able to take a ride with Noah and establish your own power.

I readily agreed to him: "Okay!"

……

Breaking up with Noah at the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic, he returned to the dormitory alone.

I rushed directly to the house I rented. This house is not far from the Royal Academy of Magic. It is only one street away from the dining and food street next to the Academy of Magic. There is an open courtyard in front of the house, which is paved with a large lawn. This house also has a relatively secluded backyard, where some fruit trees are planted, including crab apples, autumn pears and hawthorns. I secretly complained in my heart: this Those fruits that the owner of the house likes are really unique.

Open the door and enter the house. You can see that the first floor is a living room and guest rooms. Behind the living room is a kitchen with a dining room. There is a staircase between the kitchen and the living room, which can directly go to the second floor. , There are only two bedrooms on the second floor, one south and one north, and the south-facing bedroom has an attic.There are mahogany floors throughout the house and a thick rug on the floor in the living room.

The decoration of this house is so comfortable that I have never had the heart to use it as a warehouse. When I came here for the second time, I found that there is a small basement in this house, which is specially used for storage.

I didn't even stay in the living room. I touched the key chain hanging behind the door directly from behind the door, walked straight into the basement, and then locked the door of the basement.

I don't want someone to come in accidentally after I open the portal.

I need to prepare [-] magical herbs for healing potions overnight, and deliver them to Bud who will come to deliver them tomorrow morning.

Time is running out, I must enter the underground cave as soon as possible, and then let the orcs move the herbs to the storage room in the basement.

……

Speaking of which, I haven't entered the underground cave for a long time. The last time I came, I also received a message from the female beast warrior Kalantso, in addition to asking me to prepare food, cloth and other materials In addition, there are some other things I want to discuss with me:
The first thing is: the attitude of the orcs towards the goblins in the underground world has undergone some changes. On the way to the underground cave warehouse, the orcs and the goblins have had several conflicts. The goblin, who feels disgusting to people, is now getting more and more intensified, and it has reached a very serious level.

The goblins in the underground caves have recently begun to move around after three years of comfortable life. These despicable low-level creatures are only dominated by their own instinctive desires. They will seek food to survive because of their instincts, and they will also survive because of their instincts. And to reproduce, and these guys have extremely strong reproductive ability. In just three years, in the underground world of Xinliu Valley, the total population of goblins has increased by five times, and the hearts of the large number of goblins have gradually become swollen.

Due to the excessive growth rate of the goblin population, the goblins are facing a food crisis all day long.Some goblins with stronger brains and better development began to have ideas of their own.They were originally high-level creatures carrying the curse of God's punishment, but now they have fallen to the level of low-level creatures, but there are also some mutants among them.

These powerful goblin warriors began to form their own forces, and then annexed other goblin tribes. These goblins became robbers. Gradually, they were no longer satisfied with plundering goblin villages. The goblins had begun to set their sights on the wine cellars of the underground world. , there is not only a large amount of fine wine stored here, but also food, magic herbs, precious wood, magic copper mine, cotton cloth and other living materials. The goblins have long coveted these materials.

I think a battle with the goblins is inevitable after all.

The second thing is: the foundation of the entire mountain city was completed at the beginning of last year.

Today, building a mountain city has entered a bottleneck period, because building a city on a cliff requires a lot of tools, and these tools are not ready yet.

In addition, although I have completed the outline of the foundation of the mountain city, and have drawn a few rough outline drawings of the castle, among the orcs, even the old orc Zewang has no experience in building castles, so I need someone who can The master builder came here to guide these orcs how to build a majestic mountain city.

Three years ago, I had some preliminary ideas. I wanted to build a castle at the pass between two dangerous peaks in the circular valley of Xinliu Valley. After three years of preparation, the barbarians captured by me were here Rocks were excavated at the foot of the circular valley, and then these huge stones were ground into huge square stone foundations with a chisel, and the barbarian slaves were asked to carry these large stones to the pass to build a building similar to a cliff. The mountain city above, here can guard the only main road leading to the round valley.

Today, more than 600 barbarian slaves can only mine stones in Xinliu Valley day and night to wear down their vigorous physical strength.

These stones were polished into huge granite bricks of exactly the same size that can bite together, which will be used as wall bricks for the city wall in the future. The news that Kalantso brought me said: Those huge bricks hewn from granite Stones have been piled up into a hill like a pyramid.

That mountain of granite rock was almost hollowed out by the hundreds of barbarian slaves.
