my age of magic

Chapter 614 113. Who is the target of the Black Magic Priory

I stood beside the carriage and talked with Bud about the prices of various herbs in the market.

Kalancuo was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, completely ignoring the fellows of the Emerald Bay Trading Company, letting them walk in and out between the living room and the corridor freely.

Instead of wasting her time watching over the men in the trading firm carrying herbs, she would rather stay by the carriage and spend more time with me.

Bud standing beside squinted his small eyes, his oily face looked like a piece of cake, he frowned and stared at those guys, urging them: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going Before leaving, send these herbs to the Magic Pharmacy Guild, don't dawdle, run them all for me."

Although the fellows in the firm gritted their teeth with hatred, no one dared to refute, and no one dared to ignore Bud's words.

For the folks in the firm, although Bud is a bit harsh, it cannot be denied that Bud is a very good businessman, and he is very sensitive to those boring figures. When I asked him about the prices of several kinds of herbs, he Almost opened his mouth to come.He is very familiar with the market of magic herbs around the imperial capital.

Sluit Province is adjacent to the Pai Plateau where the orc tribe is located. The entire Pai Plateau grows hemostatic grass, so that the price of hemostatic grass is very low.

Merchants in Sluit Province believe that the low price of hemorrhoids in Sluit Province, combined with the high transportation costs of caravans, merchants are not willing to carry a large amount of hemorrhoids from the Pai Plateau.

In Sloit, hemorrhoids have long been an extremely inexpensive herb available in herbal and grocery stores.

Bud knows a lot about herbal medicine. He told me: "The price of hemostatic grass is usually very stable. Only recently has the price of hemostatic grass skyrocketed uncontrollably. After all, Didn't those magic pharmacists stir it up?"

Bud was full of worries about the current situation of the imperial capital's herbal medicine market. He complained to me: "Healing potions on the market are now in short supply. All magic pharmacists who can make healing potions don't want to let go of such rare money. Opportunities, competing to buy hemostatic grass, only to mess up the market!"

I was a little puzzled and asked: "The price of hemorrhoids in the market is still high. The fundamental reason is that the battle lines in all planes are tight and there is a lack of a lot of healing potions. But what can these hemorrhages do? They can only be made Some of the most basic primary healing potions, why not use intermediate healing potions?"

Bud smiled wryly and said: "Price is the main reason. The price of King's Blood Grass has been high, making it impossible to lower the price of intermediate healing potions. Hey, let alone King's Blood Grass, even King's Blood Grass is now on the market. I can’t even see the leaves! I don’t know when this battle for the new territory of the plane will end.”

It turns out that the price of the emperor's blood grass is even more expensive, and this kind of second-level magic herb has disappeared in the magic herb market in the imperial capital. According to Bard, it has basically disappeared.

Thinking of half a month ago, I had a orc hand over a bag of emperor blood grass seeds and more than a dozen seeds of phoenix flame grass to Kalancuo, and told her to let the tree fairies go to the round valley Open up a place in the herb garden to plant, and be sure to use the dilution of 'tree essence' to expel them, so as to shorten their growth cycle as much as possible.

After a few profound lessons, I found that those beast girls really don't have much talent for planting, and they can't even tell which one is a weed and which one is a herbal seedling, so two years ago, I told Karan Cuo said: No, I can't go on like this, they will completely destroy my herb garden, I have to find a better way.

After some communication between me and the World Tree, let the grass fairies accompanying the World Tree be responsible for taking care of the magic herbs in the medicine garden, and those orcs are responsible for guarding the World Tree. , There are almost no species in Xinliu Valley that can threaten the world tree. After this discussion, my determination to build a mountain city on the mountain pass outside the circular valley has been strengthened.

In the end, this unequal 'job exchange contract' was successfully signed.

Those grass and tree fairies have successfully become hardworking gardeners, yes, they are born gardeners, and it seems to be their instinct to take care of those plants with magical power in their bodies.

Under the nourishment of the first lord's halo 'vegetation growth' of the world tree, this magical herb garden became lush and lush. The Lord's aura ability of 'vegetation growth' seems to be very powerful. It can shorten the growth cycle of magic herbs by nearly ten times. Those low-level magic herbs with a growth cycle of more than three years will grow faster if they are planted in the herb garden. The growth cycle does not exceed four months. Mature, this growth cycle can be shortened even further if the 'Essence of Life' dilution is used.

And this month just happened to have a large number of primary magic herbs entering the maturity stage, and so many primary herbs were hoarded in the warehouse of the underground cave.

Next, I will gradually replace the primary magic herbs in the herb garden with more valuable mid-level magic herbs, but it will take a little time.

……

Louis rode a tall Lin horse slowly back from the far side of the street. Facing the rising sun in the morning, the silver scales on his body gleamed, and six retinue knights lined up behind him on the left and right sides. , like a knight returning in triumph.

Bud and I went up to meet him. Seeing that the anger on Louis's face hadn't dissipated, he tightened the reins, stopped in front of me, and jumped off the horse lightly.

There was a smear of blood on Louis's face, adding a bit of ruthlessness to his resolute face, which was carved with a knife and an axe. There was a layer of blue stubble on his chin, and his hand touched the Crusader sword. After walking a few steps to the magic caravan, he saw the guys in the business firm carrying bundles of hemorrhoids, and his gloomy face gradually eased.

"I'm sorry, Jijia, for getting you involved in this turmoil, but I will solve it as soon as possible." Louis apologized to me.

"Louis, I don't know how to express my gratitude. If I hadn't met you, I might have been killed by the assassin in my sleep." At the same time, I also expressed my gratitude to Louis.

The two of us spoke at the same time. After saying this sentence, we were both stunned for a moment, and then laughed at the same time.

Louis strode up to my body, with a friendly smile on his face, reached out and patted my shoulder, and said to me very politely: "Speaking of which, you are probably implicated by us, I guess those The 'Dream Makers' of the Assassin profession are members of the Black Magic Priory, and there is no doubt that they came here for those magic herbs."

He punched hard on the panel of the magic caravan, and there was a fist-shaped dent on the metal sheet. He said angrily: "These people want to prevent our Mensa family from making these hemostatic grass Sending the potion to the front line is a bit unscrupulous, and now the law and order in the imperial capital has really rotted to the root."

Afterwards, he asked me to avoid going out of the school for a period of time, he said: "However, I have offended those people from the Magic Priory, so I must be more careful in the recent period, and try not to go in and out of the Magic Academy as frequently as possible." , at least the Royal Academy of Magic is still very safe."

"I didn't expect people from the Black Magic Priory to be so rampant. They assassinated a magic student of the Royal Academy on the streets of the Imperial City. I will report this matter to the Imperial City Guard Camp and ask for your help." Speaking of speaking, I will report this situation to the head of the Royal Griffin Knights. Those old guys in the Magic Guild have indulged the evil mages of the Black Magic Priory for too long. Charles the Great of the Green Empire will not allow these evil groups that undermine the stability and unity within the empire to exist."

Louis decided to persuade the chief of the Royal Knights that he wanted to use the power of the Royal Knights to thoroughly clean up the members of the Black Magic Priory who were hiding in the dark in the imperial capital, because just yesterday, a ship carrying the junior members of the Mensa family The airship of the magic herb was hijacked at the border of the imperial capital, and all the clues revealed on it pointed the murderer to the Black Magic Priory.

This incident put Louis in a bad mood. If he didn't handle it well, he would even be reprimanded by the Grand Duke Mensa.

The "airship was hijacked" had a great impact on Louis. After all, he is currently sitting on the throne of the first heir of the Mensa family. Countless young men of the Mensa family are eyeing this chair covetously. , in this position, Louis walks on thin ice every step forward, not daring to make any mistakes.

Louis and I thought a little differently. As for the 'Dream Maker' killer from the Black Arts Priory, I think they should have come straight for me.

I thought of the three members of the black magic order that I killed in the city of El, the crazy alchemist, the Ignaz scholar, and the evil mage Montetroia. These three people should all be considered black magic The core figures of the Priory in Sloit Province have fallen into my hands one after another. I knew that one day people from the Black Magic Priory would come to me, but I didn’t expect them to come to me at this time .

But when I finally think of that scarlet eye in the morning mist, I always feel a chilling feeling. It is the fear that comes from the bones. It always feels a little familiar. I know the breath of that person. He should be the one who followed me at the door of the tavern yesterday.I also clearly know that he is definitely not the 'Dream Maker' assassin, they are actually two unrelated people, so if you think about it, their target is me.

This is really a headache!
Louis asked me curiously: "Jijia, I really want to know, are all the magicians in the northern border as proficient in actual combat as you are?"

As far as his eyes can see, there is a water stain, which is the place where I used the 'Frost Nova' to freeze the nightmare assassin. At that time, if the assassin hadn't used a stand-in puppet, the person who might have been frozen into ice slag , it will be the assassin.

I was a little regretful that I failed to catch the culprit who wanted to assassinate me, and I calmly said to Louis: "There should be many! After all, the people there have to defend against the barbarians who come to the ice and snow tundra every winter. In small towns, warriors who can form teams to hunt and kill barbarians are called 'falcons', and in El City, a group of young falcons appear every year, and I happen to be one of them."

"You should be the best of the young 'Falcons', right?" Lewis said.

"My classmates are also very good." I said to Louis.

He just smiled faintly, thinking that my words were very modest, but at this moment, I thought of Theresa who owns 'Rock Golem', 'Student Master' Swift, 'Lava Heart' Thomas, etc. They have become very good now. Last winter, they also participated in "Operation Falcon", but I remember how weird their expressions were when they saw me standing with Moraya eccentric.

"Just because you released the magic just now, it is not difficult to see that your control over the rhythm of the battle and the timing of the release of the magic scroll are very precise and decisive. You are an excellent ice-controlling magician. Have you thought about it?" What happened after graduating from the Royal Academy of Magic?" Louis asked me very directly.

"Of course I'm planning to return to the northern border. Maybe I'll join the Northwind Legion. I want to drive all those barbarians back to the ice sheet, or build a high wall at the southernmost tip of the ice sheet to keep them forever in the north of the ice sheet." Go." I thought about it seriously, and then said to Louis.

Louis didn't think there was anything wrong with me thinking this way, he even said with some emotion: "Listen to you, I really want to go to the northern border to recruit some warriors, so I have to fight that Duchess Ellie It only takes one meeting, sometimes, when I think of a powerful woman, I will have a headache, it is really troublesome!"

I know he is joking, because the future Duke of Palestina Province will not be able to recruit warriors in Sluit Province anyway, which is tantamount to blatantly provoking the rights of the Grand Duke of Sluit Province.

Afterwards, Louis glanced at Kalancuo, and sighed in admiration: "You actually have the retinue of a female beast warrior, so you are not afraid of those wolf orcs who advocate freedom coming to trouble you?"

I shook my head slightly. It seemed that Louis was very curious about Kalancuo, and there was a sense of amazement in his eyes. I didn't want Louis to be interested in orc slaves. That was by no means good news, so I could only say He replied: "I once wandered on the Pai Plateau, and I know some orc friends. She is a wise orc known as Meyana. Let her follow me and protect me."

"Have you met the wise men of the orc race? It's good luck. I heard that some of them are great prophets." Louis continued.

At this time, under the urging of Bud, the guys in the business firm had already moved all the exquisite wheat flour into the house, and all the primary magic herbs into the magic caravan, and then came to ask Louis if he could set off. Go to the Magic Apothecaries Guild.

Louis nodded.

Then several magic caravans set off one after another, surrounded by more than a dozen knights on horseback.

Before I left, I handed a stack of blueprints to Louis, and asked him to help me find a way to make the parts on the blueprints. This was something that had already been discussed, and Louis agreed with all his heart...
