244. Twenty-two table lamps

The Royal Academy of Magic's Inscription Society has always been known as the 'cradle of cultivating genius inscriptionists' by people in the wizarding world, and from the founding of the Royal Academy of Magic to the present, the academy has produced many excellent inscriptionists.

Although the Ming Literature Society of the Royal Academy of Magic is a long-established society that has attracted much attention, I was quite surprised that the Ming Literature Society was able to get a place in this winter inscription exhibition, and I was a little impressed.

I even think that I underestimated the members of these inscription societies before.

Speaking of which, my holiday with Ivan, the vice president of the Ming Literature Society, dates back to the beginning of last semester.

At that time, Yerkis scholars looked for magical assistants who were skilled in inscriptions.

Someone recommended Ivan to the Yerkis Scholar, and that recommender also valued Ivan's solid basic skills in inscription literature at that time, but my appearance shattered Ivan's desire to be an assistant at the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute.

I became a magical assistant to the Yerkis scholars, and was rejected by the Inscription Society of the Royal Academy of Magic.

Later, I joined Lucia's 'Sword and Rose Society', which is the largest society in the Royal Academy of Magic.

It's a pity that the Sword and Rose Club was automatically disbanded at the beginning of the school year because of the departure of the core character Lucia.

Originally, Lucia wanted me to be the president of the 'Sword and Rose Society', but when the club was disbanded, because Noah and I were trapped in the Vasqi plane, we couldn't rush back to the academy in time, and when I returned, the 'Sword and Rose Society' had long ceased to exist.

I didn't expect Nick and Bronan to actually know Ivan, and I was a little surprised to see Nick at the inscription exhibition.

Actually, I can understand how Nick felt when he left the Rune Board Workshop, when Mithril returned to the magic market, it was destined that the Adamantite Demon Rune Board would not have any market prospects, and of course there was no problem with him choosing a new way out, but I felt that out of politeness, he should at least say hello to me before leaving, let alone take all the mechanics in the workshop.

Standing under a street lamp erected at the entrance of Hall 38, I looked up curiously at this lamppost with an Atlantis-style lamppost, with an umbrella-like canopy on the top of the lamppost, and the wick made of moonstone powder emitted a cold white light, which looked obviously much brighter than the light emitted by those lampposts on the street, at first I thought it was caused by the reflection of light from the silver foil on the inside of the umbrella, but later I realized that the layer plated inside the umbrella was not silver foil, but a layer of mythril, as if it was not exactly mythril.

Facing the light, I saw a shallow line of magic lines on the Mithril coating, and I carefully discerned whether the magic pattern engraved on the inside of the umbrella was 'Shimmer Illumination' or 'Light Resistance'.

At this time, I heard Nick instruct the stucco painters in the exhibition hall to be careful not to stain the marble floor, otherwise they would be responsible for cleaning the floor.

My eyes then fell on Nick, who subconsciously turned his head to look at the door, and happened to see me standing under the lamppost.

The moment he saw me, his face turned slightly red, and he immediately avoided my gaze and looked away, as if he was a little weak and did not dare to look at me.

The scene was a little awkward, so I didn't stop at the door of Exhibition Hall 38 and walked to the next exhibition hall, but I was just thinking about the umbrella cover with the magic pattern circle: Is this a 'street lamp with the theme of energy saving'?

With the less and less moonstone mines, the wick made of moonstone powder mixed with magic crystal fragments has become the mainstream trend of street lamps in recent years, but the street lamp with moonstone material as the wick is difficult to connect with the inscription, it is estimated that only the magic pattern circle on the umbrella is thought up by the students of these inscription clubs.

At this time, Alia's figure appeared at the end of the corridor, she was wearing a moon-white shark pattern dress outlining a rich and graceful curve, it was hard to imagine how her slender waist supported the proud upper body, the 'V' shaped neckline made her chest reveal a large area of white and greasy skin, and her long golden hair was coiled high, revealing a swan-like elegant snow-white neck, and the cold and arrogant aristocratic temperament showed a dignified and beautiful demeanor on her.

She stood in the hallway with her hands on her chest, waving to me from afar, looking at me with a smile.

I hurried over, gasping for breath, and asked her, "What are your orders?" ”

Arya pursed her lips and smiled at me, "It's rude to stand outside other showrooms at this time, and it will make people think that you are secretly copying their ideas!"

"Would you mistakenly think I'm stealing from their showroom design?" I said in surprise.

Arya bowed her head slightly, and said to me with a smile: "Of course you will, you can be considered a competitor!"

In front of outsiders, Arya and I will deliberately keep some distance. But Arya always teases me with her charming eyes, and I can only pretend that I don't see it, and I don't make any response.

The original things in the exhibition hall were being dismantled one by one, and Betty commanded a group of waiters to move all the chairs in the exhibition hall to the warehouse, and the hall became much more spacious, and the original way of the inscriptionist standing on the podium to explain the design to everyone was changed by Arya into a platform where people could communicate freely. Everyone stood in the exhibition hall, admiring the design of the Yerkes scholar while communicating freely.

The waiters brought in some stylish mahogany furniture, which was covered with oily pulp to make them look very old, twenty-two table lamps were placed on top of those furniture, some of which were placed like a corner of a gorgeous room in the castle, and several painters were painting floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the walls, through which they could see the beautiful night view of the imperial capital.

The other wall has been painted with a layer of white paint, and there are six charcoal braziers lit in the room, even if you are wearing a single coat, you will not feel cold when you are shirtless, and the main function of these braziers is to make the fuel that has been painted on the wall dry as quickly as possible, and several painters are preparing a palette on the side, and Arya takes the trouble to take out page by page sketches, and takes the trouble to explain to the painters, asking them to understand what she wants to paint.

The artistic atmosphere in the Grimm Empire was far less intense than that of Buenos in the Silver Moon Elves, and some nobles would only wear a fine dress when they were promoted to a knighthood, and the painter would paint a portrait of himself and hang it on the wall of the corridor. They are more willing to buy paintings that have become works of art than to buy a worthless painting and wait for them to increase in value, and there are many ways to make their wallets bulge, and buying paintings is never a good way.

Artists cherish this rare opportunity to make money, and they are passionate about painting on walls and floors.

Twenty-two bronze table lamps are hidden in various corners of the No. 49 exhibition hall, which has a sense of hide and seek with visitors, and the copper table lamps full of artistic atmosphere are blended with the ancient furniture and the ancient castle in the painting, making people feel like they are in a huge palace.

Arya and I spent the whole night in the exhibition hall with these painters, and the Yerkes scholar had arrived in the morning, and when it was slightly bright, he got out of bed and rode in a magical caravan to the headquarters of the Inscription Guild, and when he entered the forty-ninth exhibition hall, he looked at the interior of the exhibition hall with a shocked expression.

When everything was arranged, Arya stood in the exhibition hall and stretched out, and told Betty to dismiss the painters and leave the Inscription Guild headquarters building before dawn with the attendants of the manor, and I sent her to the magic caravan on the side of the street, and said to her, "Go back and get some sleep." ”

Arya boarded the magic caravan and pushed the window open and waved at me.

All I could do was rub my sour eyes and yawn as the magic caravan drifted away on the snowy streets.

At this moment, the sun shines over the snow-capped peaks of Majaro, and I can't help but squint.

Knowing that I would be busy for the Yerkes Scholar's inscription display for the past two days, Ying Li lent me her magic caravan, which had been parked on the side of the street, and Caterina walked up to me through the Tower of Pride Square, dangled the paper bag in front of me, and said to me, "Let's get rid of these things first, and we can sleep in the magic caravan for a while before the inscription exhibition begins." ”

......

The sound of messy footsteps and talking outside the carriage woke me from my sleep.

Leather boots make a characteristic 'creaking' sound when stepping on the snow, and there is talk of some excellent inscription designs on display over the past two days.

The carriage was as warm as spring, picked up the blanket that had slipped off the soft leather sofa and covered Caterina's body, she lay lazily on the sofa, opened her beautiful ruby eyes and looked at me, stretched out her white arms to hook my neck, I leaned over and pinched her white face, and said to her softly: "You can sleep a little longer, I'll go and see how the preparations are on the Yerkes side." ”

Caterina nodded slightly, and I leaned down to kiss her white forehead, then put on my magic robes, pushed open the door and jumped lightly out of the magic caravan.

The air outside was fresh and cold, and the cold north wind made me completely sober up, feeling the rich water element in winter, and I felt that I could do anything at this time.

The inscription exhibition on the third day officially began, the door of the inscription union headquarters was crowded, some magicians and nobles poured into the exhibition hall from the door, I stood at the door, and happened to see Nick also standing on the steps of the door, looking as if he was out to breathe, his eyes were bloodshot red, and he hadn't slept all night, making him look tired.

He didn't expect to see me at the door, subconsciously saluted me slightly, the words were blocked in his throat, as if someone had suddenly pinched his throat, and suddenly held it back, I raised my head, looked at his slightly embarrassed face, greeted him, and asked him lightly: "How are you doing?"

"It's okay!" Nick looked embarrassed.

"Do you know Ivan?" I stood side by side with him on the steps, looking across the street at the free market under the Tower of Pride.

He was slightly flustered, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "His Royal Highness Little Charles opened a magic workshop in the imperial capital, and asked me to come over to be the manager, Ivan Magician and Diego Magician are both friends of His Royal Highness Little Charles, and His Royal Highness Little Charles heard that they were participating in the Winter Inscription Exhibition, so he asked me to come over to help!"

His Royal Highness Charlie in Nick's mouth is not Prince Charlie, the first heir in line to the throne of the Green Empire, but the favorite son of His Royal Highness Prince Charlie, who is called 'Little Charlie' by the nobles in the imperial capital, but he didn't expect Nick to catch up with this royal family.

At this time, a familiar figure squeezed out of the flow of people in the Inscription Union headquarters building, Brennan walked out of the building, didn't even notice me, and said directly to Nick loudly: "Nick, it turns out that you are here, there are still many things waiting for us to deal with in Little Charlie's workshop, we must rush back now...... Huh!"

At this moment, Brennan suddenly saw me, and the words that were about to blurt out suddenly fell back, and he looked at me with a wary face, and looked at Nick with an inquiring gaze, but did not say anything to me.

I felt that Brennan was standing in front of me, and since everyone was so uncomfortable standing together, I looked at him with a smile, passed him directly, and followed the flow of people into the exhibition hall of the headquarters of the Inscription Union.

When I passed through the hall on the first floor, I saw the magic pattern structures displayed in the glass cover, surrounded by inscriptionists wearing magic robes, they almost had to stick their faces to the glass cover, carefully observing the magic pattern circle on each leather item of the 'Demon Serpent's Fang', and while looking at it, they were discussing with each other, it seemed that the enhanced version of the 'Junior Agility Magic Pattern Construction' of the Yerkes Scholar had a great impact on the inscriptionists.

I thought to myself: they just don't know the 'Lower Demand' associated magic pattern, otherwise their doubts will be solved.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, I happened to see some noble lords gathered at the door of the No. 38 exhibition hall where the Ming Literature Society was located, at this time, I saw Ivan and Diego just standing under the lamppost at the entrance of the exhibition hall, and they were introducing the street lamp to several aristocratic figures, so I also stopped at the periphery and listened to them explain the design concept of this street lamp.

After listening to a few words, I gradually understood that as Shirley Newman said, the design concept that Ivan and Diego gave to this street lamp is 'energy saving'.

The wick of this street lamp is made of moonstone powder, but the proportion of moonstone powder mixed with it is reduced, and the number of magic crystal fragments increases, which greatly reduces the consumption of moonstone, and the ensuing problem is that the brightness of this street lamp is insufficient. The brightness of the street lamp is just better than that of the traditional moonstone wick street lamp.

The design of the magic students in the Ming Literature Society, although the consumption of moonstones in each street lamp has been reduced, but the problem that comes with it is that the consumption of magic crystal fragments has been increased, and if you calculate it carefully, this street lamp does not save anything.

So the noble lord who stood in front of Ivan and listened to Ivan explain the function of the street lamp to him in detail, and finally said to Ivan: "If I have plans to build a new town, I will definitely consider the street lamps you designed, but according to your explanation, I don't think there is any need to replace those street lamps in the existing towns......"
