242. Exhibition of inscriptions
The venue of the Winter Inscription Exhibition was set up on the first and second floors of the Inscription Division's Headquarters Building, which had a total of 51 exhibition halls, large and small, and the exclusive exhibition of Yerkes scholars was arranged in Hall 49 on the third day of the exhibition.
The Winter Inscription Exhibition will last for a week, and the third day is the peak period for visitors, but Hall 49 is one of the smallest exhibition halls, and before the opening of the exhibition, the Yerkes Scholars and I made a special trip to the headquarters of the Inscription Masters Guild to see the venue, which is not very good, it is on the second floor of the Inscription Union Building.
Walking into the 49th exhibition hall, I found that it was a room of less than 100 square meters, and there was a podium-like display table in the innermost part, and rows of indigo wooden chairs were placed in the exhibition hall, and on the first and second days of this exhibition hall, there would be other inscriptionists exhibiting their works here, and the exhibition hall was very messy, and there were several carpenters renovating the booth, and there were some timbers on the floor, and I stopped at the door and looked inside.
The Yerkes scholar crossed his arms around his chest and said to me: "Only after the next day of the exhibition can the craftsmen I hire set up the exhibition space overnight." ”
"This room is a little small!" I said, probing my head around the room.
Scholar Yerkis didn't think so, he seemed to be very satisfied to finish looking at his exhibition hall, and looked at the exhibition halls on the left and right, and found that they were almost all so large, and said with satisfaction: "It's not small, maybe it's a little small for other magicians, but it's not small for me, and being able to participate in this winter inscription exhibition can be regarded as fulfilling my greatest wish! I never thought that one day I would be able to stand here and show everyone the inscriptions I designed myself." ”
As he spoke, he rubbed his face vigorously, his eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he had stayed up late lately.
“...... I don't know how many people will come to see my showcase. Scholars at Yerkes are still worried.
The Imperial Capital Winter Inscription Exhibition is a very influential event, magicians, magic merchants and noble lords from all over the Grimm Empire will come to the Imperial Capital from all over the world to participate in this grand event, not only to be able to learn about the latest magic pattern array, but also at this exhibition, there will be many orders for magic pattern construction will be agreed, and there will also be some newly developed metal rune plates and magic scrolls on display.
The Babington family is in charge of the magic industry in San Carlos City, mainly a variety of blank Mithril rune plates, these rune plates are widely used in aviation, transportation, construction, military and many other aspects, as the largest manufacturer of blank rune plates, the Babington family has formulated the industry standard for blank rune plates, every winter inscription exhibition, the Babington family will launch a new series of blank rune plates applied to magic caravans and airship floating circles.
Every year, the Babington family occupies a large area in the hall on the first floor of the exhibition to display the large magic rune plates they have designed, but this year, due to the impact of the plane war, Angela's five major Mithril mines have been almost completely suspended for most of the year, and the large chimney of the silver-plated furnace of the rune plate workshop in San Carlos City has not been emitting smoke for a long time.
In addition, the Prince of Wales and the Constructed Knights of the Legion of Ex in Qiyan Province are fighting against the dark forces of the Abyss on many sides of Angela, and the current Duke of Babington naturally has to preside over the overall situation in many faces of Angela, and it turns out that Arya, the head of the Babington family in the imperial capital, has also left the Babington family, so this year's winter exhibition, the Babington family has hardly made any preparations.
After the Yerkis Scholar and I went downstairs, we passed by the exhibition area of the Babington family, and the Yerkis scholar said to me: "Since the departure of Lady Alia, the head of the Babington family's imperial capital, the Babington family seems to have given up on the rune board market in the imperial capital, and their rune exhibition this year is much smaller than in previous years. ”
The Yerkes scholar spoke of Arya, and I said, "The inscription display is not well prepared because their family's Constructed Knights are fighting on many sides of Angela! ”
The two of us walked through the exhibition area of the Babington family, and there was a large display area with various mid-to-high-level magic pattern structures, each set of magic pattern structures were placed in a glass cover, and those magic pattern structures were inserted with magic crystals, and the exquisite magic patterns on the structures emitted a faint magic glow, and there was a copper nameplate in front of each glass cover, which wrote the function of the magic pattern construction in the imperial capital.
The Yerkes scholar walked here, and immediately a magical assistant from the Inscriptionists' Guild headquarters came out to greet him.
The magic assistant takes us to the front of the three magical structures, the 'Snake Fang', 'Giant Bear's Power', and 'Earth Shield' designed by the Yerkes Scholars, which are encased in glass covers, so that the inscriptionists can observe the process of making these three magical structures up close.
These three sets of demonic pattern constructs, at present, can only be bought in the magic market suitable for swordsmen, assassins, archers, and rangers to wear the 'Demon Serpent's Fang', the other two have not yet been officially launched, but as soon as the 'Demon Serpent's Fang' set of demonic patterns appeared, it caused a sensation in the entire imperial capital, which is also the fundamental reason why Yerkis scholars can have a place in the inscription exhibition.
When the magical assistant left, the Yerkes scholar couldn't wait to ask me, "Why do you say that?"
I find it difficult for a traditional magician like Yerkis to accept the existence of a magical machine like the Magic Engraving Machine, so I can only vaguely say, "Maybe in the near future, the way the rune plates are processed will change a little." ”
I was confused by my brainless words.
Coming out of the Inscription Guild headquarters, in front of the magic caravan, I said to the scholar Yerkes, "You've been too tired lately, now that the blueprints have been made and the sample of the magic lamp has been made, I'll leave the rest to me, I'll draw some more magic rune boards for 'Shimmer Illumination', you can go back to your apartment now, and sleep well with Eve in your arms." ”
He got into the carriage and turned back to me and said, "Oh, I can't sleep! Maybe because of this, I've been so excited lately that I can't sleep all night, and the next day I'll feel dizzy and uncomfortable all day, maybe this exhibition is the only chance in my life, and I'm always worried that I'm going to mess up this exhibition." ”
It can be seen that he looks very tired and tired, but he didn't expect this exhibition to make him lose sleep due to excessive stress.
"Insomnia?" I asked.
He rubbed his temples lightly with his hands, sighed lightly, and said, "How can you not lose sleep......?
He motioned for me to get into the magic caravan as well, and I had wanted to go back to the Academy of Magic to draw the unfinished 'Shimmer Illumination' magic pattern, but when I saw that the Yerkes Scholar was in a bad state of mind, I got into the caravan, and Katerina boarded the magic caravan with me, and the Yerkis Scholar's servant then closed the door.
The carriage drove down Yulin Street in the direction of his apartment, and I sat opposite the scholar of Yerkes, and the servant poured him a glass of golden cider, which he drank as he motioned for me to do my own thing.
He put down his glass, leaned back on the soft couch, stretched out his arms and said to me, "You know what? Actually, I'm scared!"
I asked curiously, "What are you afraid of?"
The servant tried to refill him with a glass of golden cider, but he refused.
"I'm afraid I'll lose my purpose in life after this inscription exhibition, maybe every day I'll be lying on the rocking chair on the balcony of my apartment and enjoying the afternoon sun, maybe I'll be attending some noble lords' balls every day, and I'll be counting countless magic crystals every day, but you know, those are not the life I want." ”
"You're thinking a little too much......" I think maybe it was because the news of his participation in the Winter Inscription Exhibition made his heart a little unbalanced.
I said to the Jerkis scholars, "Jerkes, have you ever thought that one day magic would be integrated into the lives of ordinary people? ”
Yerkis had only had one glass of wine, and the wine upturned his cheeks slightly, and he said, "Isn't magic now integrated into life? You see the magic caravans speeding through the streets, the water-gathering rune boards on the walls of the kitchen sink in the house, the rows of magic airships in the airport town outside the city, and many, many more. ”
I said, "But they're too expensive for the common people to afford!" I think one day, these magical household items will become widespread among the common people, and the price will become so cheap that all the common people can afford them. ”
"That's what you think?" said Yerkes.
"Yes!" I replied.
At this moment when the Jerkes scholar was at his most relaxed, I performed a 'hypnotism' on him, and a huge eyeball appeared above his head, and under the gaze of that eyeball, the Yerkis scholar began to become drowsy, and he shook his head, trying to make himself conscious, but to no avail, and then he collapsed on the soft leather sofa.
I asked the servant to bring him a pillow, and Jerkes lay down on the couch and slept soundly.
The magic caravan stopped on the side of the road in front of the Yerkes Scholar's apartment, and the servant tried to carry the Yerkis scholar back to the room of the apartment, but I stopped him, and I said to him, "Be careful, don't wake him up, just let him sleep a little longer!"
After a while, the door of the apartment was pushed open, and Eve poked her head out of the doorway in a silk nightgown and a coat, and I beckoned to her in the carriage, and she ran out of the house barefoot, stepping on the stone path with snow remnants, and ran into the magic caravan, and saw the Yerkes scholar sleeping soundly on the soft leather sofa, just about to speak to me.
I put my finger to my lips, gave a gentle 'shh', and whispered in her ear, "Let him sleep a little longer, he needs plenty of sleep." ”
With that, I pushed open the door and jumped out of the magic caravan with Caterina in tow.
......
The sky was white, and the light gray sky was sprinkled with large snowflakes like goose feathers. The snow from the street was swept to the side of the road and soon covered with another layer.
Standing on the outer corridor of the Tower of Arrogance, letting the cool snowflakes fall in the palm of your hand, all the buildings in the imperial capital were covered with a thick layer of white quilts, and only Weiyang Lake in the distance was a large dark color in the white snow.
Caterina stood quietly to the side and asked me curiously, "Is there such a big snow in El City?"
I smiled and said to her, "The biggest snow in El City is much heavier, and I remember one time when I woke up in the morning to find that the snow had actually piled up on the attic on the second floor, Tracy and I took a snow shovel and climbed out of the roof attic to clear the snow from the street." ”
The Winter Inscription Exhibition opened in a colorful snowfall, and a group of magicians and noble lords dressed in gorgeous costumes walked into the exhibition hall because of the snow, and the Tower of Pride was a little far away from the Inscription Guild Headquarters building, and I couldn't see it clearly.
The Yerkes scholars went there to attend the opening of the Winter Inscription Exhibition, and I heard that Ivan and the members of the Academy's Inscription Society also attended the Inscription Exhibition, and Noah and Shirley Newman also got tickets for the first day, and they are probably wandering around the exhibition now.
In the laboratory of the Institute of Magic, several coppersmiths were putting the finishing touches on the bronze table lamps, so I stayed behind to work with the coppersmiths, so that I could take the time to go to the outer cloister of the Tower of Pride and take a look from afar.
Yerkes made a total of twenty-two table lamps, each of which is a beautiful human figure, with ordinary humans, strong orcs, bearded dwarves, elegant elves, winged people with white wings, lizards with slender cheeks, skeletons burning with ghost fire in their eyes, etc., each table lamp wick part of the oval copper ball is engraved with 'Shimmer Illumination' magic pattern array, on the copper lampshade of the table lamp, the complex 'gathering magic pattern' is hidden in the cloud pattern of the lampshade.
Each lamp seems to be a work of art, with the glow of magic, which adds to the mystery of the lamp, the lamp design is very exquisite, and the biggest feature of this lamp is that it does not use moonstone.
There is a big difference between the warm light emitted by the 'shimmer illumination' and the cooler hue emitted by the moonstone.
After the opening ceremony, Noah, Shirley Newman, and Senior Vernon didn't have long to wander around the exhibition, but braved the goose feather snow, walked through the market outside the Tower of Pride, and ran to the Magic Research Institute to find me, and I asked Caterina to pick them up at the entrance of the Institute.
Noah and the others came to the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute for the first time, they were very curious about this large indoor townhouse-like building, and when they arrived at the laboratory of the Yerkis scholars, they also looked east and west, and Noah was even more envious when he saw the 'Demon Serpent's Fang' magic pattern structure on the wooden humanoid shelf.
Shirley Newman stood curiously behind a coppersmith, watched him polish the bronze statue of the elf, and asked me, "Jijia, are you going to show these beautiful magic table lamps at this exhibition?"
"yes!" I replied.
Shirley Newman stood beside Noah and said euphemistically: "Moonstone mines are getting fewer and fewer, and the moonstones consumed by the empire in a year can be piled up into a small mountain, I believe that one day, the table lamp with the 'magic rune board' as the wick will completely replace the table lamp with the 'moonstone' as the wick, but it is ......"
Shirley Newman paused.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
Shirley Newman hesitated for a moment, but then said to me: "This idea doesn't seem particularly new, but I heard that this year, the Inscription Club of the Royal Academy of Magic will also show you the design concept of the 'energy-saving magic street lamp' at the inscription exhibition......"
