137. Spring in the Imperial Capital Magic Market
On the north side of Pena Square gathered a crowd of fanatical Lady Liberty worshippers, one dressed in the white robes often worn by temple priests, standing on a high platform and giving a loud speech with a high-pitched expression.
His words are full of worship of the Statue of Liberty, he seems to be using his words to crusade against the girl living in the building on the other side of the road, and he is also attacking the people of the imperial capital, thinking that the people have been blessed by the Goddess of Liberty for nearly a hundred years before, and now the Statue of Liberty Temple is only a small situation, and everyone's faith in the goddess has begun to waver.
This believer of the Goddess of Liberty generously stated: All along, the people of the imperial capital and even the entire Empire of Grimm have always been protected and blessed by the Lady of Liberty, whether it is pain, illness, or pain in the heart, wandering in hesitation, the goddess will give divine water to heal the pain, and send oracles to guide the lost. These gifts have become an indispensable part of life for the people of the imperial capital today, and now that these gifts are all gone, shouldn't the people of the Green Empire reflect on it?
There were many oak benches under the maple trees at the edge of Pena Square for people to rest, and while listening to the temple devotees gathering not far away to give speeches, I glanced at Sue, who was sitting next to me, and asked her in a low voice, "Do you feel the urge to rush up and tear them apart when you listen to those temple devotees standing in the square?"
Sue looked at me with a strange expression, even if she pouted and looked angry, it was quite cute.
She asked me, "Do you have the impression that I'm the kind of girl who is irritable and has a bad temper?"
"No, it won't. I replied earnestly, and then said, "I have the impression that you will always be the girl next door who likes to read under the lemon tree." ”
Su was wearing an extremely cool beige suspender skirt, revealing white and straight legs and white lace pantyhose, wearing delicate crystal sandals on her feet, a ponytail on her head, and a little light makeup on her delicate face, many girls in the imperial capital were dressed like this, even if her appearance was clearly printed in the magic newspaper, but when we sat casually on the benches in Pena Square, no one could recognize us.
Justus stood in front of the statue of the Swordsman of Bednar, who had been there for a long time, and he seemed interested in the statue.
Caterina went to the shops on the street at the edge of the square, the tailors, and the layout of the shops and the kinds of goods they sold, and since I had given Caterina some of the trivial matters of planning the town of Troum, she had begun to investigate the actual situation of such shops in the imperial capital.
So, on such a quiet afternoon, Su and I sat on the bench and chatted casually, enjoying the good time in the afternoon.
I asked Sue, "Did that priest trouble you later?"
Su smiled faintly before he said to me, "What else can he do but stand in Pena Square and gather a crowd to protest? I would love him to break into the sanatorium, but unfortunately that person seems to be very timid." ”
At this time, Justes walked around Pena Square and was walking back, and I hurriedly beckoned him to come over.
I said to Sue, "This Mr. Justes has the same troubles as you......"
Sue leaned over, looked at her strong legs, turned her head and asked me, "Is Mr. Justes' leg broken, and do you want to buy a prosthetic leg from Orianna's store?"
I shook my head and looked at Justus before saying, "He was captured by the Dark Arts Hermitage some time ago, and was fed some demonic blood by those guys, and now he has a drug addiction caused by demonic blood, and I brought him here this time to see if there is any solution on your side." ”
Su asked me, "Are you sure he didn't drink the 'Shadow Body' potion??"
I replied, "I can." ”
Justus stood aside and said affirmatively, "It's demon's blood." ”
Su put his chin in his hands and said to me: "Because of those things before, I have also been researching to eliminate the side effects caused by the treatment of the Shadow Body Elixir, but unfortunately I haven't found any answers for so long, but my previous research was completely aimed at the 'Shadow Body' potion, but you are always unwilling to give me a little more of that thing, and the research is always artificially interrupted, what can I do?"
It seems that Su's side also has no good way to deal with the 'Devil's Blood' addiction.
"Forget it, I don't dare give you that thing, I know how attractive it is to you, don't convince me about it, there is no possibility of this. I said to Sue.
Su gave me a pitiful look and said no more.
Seeing that the time was not early, I asked Sue, "Do you want to have dinner together?"
Su shook his head, got up from the bench, and said to me, "It's been too long, I'm going back, there are still patients waiting for me to deal with at the nursing home, thank you for coming to see me." ”
She stood in place and stretched out her hands, the movements were self-evident, I hugged her, her body was so light that it was hard to imagine how Sue had burst out with such great force to subdue the priest at the wedding that night.
Leaving from my arms, Sue seemed to be in a much better mood with a faint smile on her face.
Sue said to Justes, "Mr. Justes, if you have nothing to do lately, would you like to stay with me in Campbell's nursing home for a while?" ”
Justes thought for a moment and looked at me again, and I made a casual gesture, so he replied to Sue, "It's an honor!"
In this way, Justes stayed with Sue at the Campbell Sanatorium, and I found Katerina, who was frowning at the door of a grocery store, and she saw that I had come to her, and a forced smile appeared on her face.
I asked her, "Do you feel clueless about the preparations for the town of Trum?"
She nodded first, then shook her head, her red eyes blinking, her eyes were clear and transparent, and there was an indescribable beauty.
"Don't be too anxious, this kind of thing has to be done slowly, anyway, we won't be able to go to Trump for a while, it's such a long distance, even if we go, the magic academy will be on vacation this year." I said to Katerina.
It's just that at this moment, I am thinking about returning to El City during the winter vacation, and I don't know if the trip to the Hiero plane can be completed.
I said to Caterina, "You can ask Bernd more about architecture, although he is a dwarven warrior, but dwarves are born to be excellent blacksmiths, and they also have a strong talent for architecture. ”
Bernd, who doesn't drink, is quite reliable in everything.
Seeing that Caterina nodded, I said again: "As for business, you can ask Lady Arya for advice, by the way, I should write a letter to Marven in El City, and ask him to come to the imperial capital to help me, he is very good at these shops and everything, he is my classmate, and the two of us studied magic together at the War Magic Academy for three years." ”
Caterina asked curiously, "He's a magician?"
I thought of Marven, this was his graduation season at the Academy of War Magic, maybe he had become a magician by this time.
So I said, "At this point, I think he should go from being an apprentice to a magician...... He wasn't very good at magic, but he was a very talented businessman, and the two of us also co-owned a grocery store in El City, basically he took care of it, I just mixed shares, and sometimes, I would draw some magic scrolls and send them to the grocery store to sell, our grocery store was in the small market next to the Academy of War Magic, and the business was usually very good. ”
Hearing me describe the city of El like this, Caterina exhaled a long breath and said to me, "It's like going to the city of El and wondering what kind of place you live in, Kig and I have been to the city of Sloit in the north, but it happened to be summer when we got there, and I heard that the winter there is very cold. ”
I said, "It's not just cold, it's something more terrible than cold." ”
Caterina said, "You mean the barbarians of the ice and tundra?"
"Yes. ”
Katerina and I walked and talked all the way, and then we ate some stews and scones at a restaurant that abounds in the imperial capital, and the people of the imperial capital love beef stewed tomatoes, and a crispy scone with a roasted crust that can be torn up and soaked in a thick soup, or dipped in.
Afterwards, we took a magic caravan and drove directly to the Academy of Magic.
Walking into the Tower of Pride, I found that the trading hall on the first floor of the Tower of Pride was almost full of people, but I didn't expect the magic market that had been depressed for a few months to suddenly become so hot, and then I remembered that the one hundred and thirty magic airships flying from the distant city of Buenos really looked like a clear spring water pouring into the dry riverbed, instantly restoring the place to its former life.
The most scarce thing in the imperial capital is healing potions, such a large number of herbs, the most important thing is to meet the needs of those big and small lords for healing potions first, it seems that these days, magic pharmacists have been crazy busy for a while.
Think about Kige, at a time like this, I'm afraid she will be very busy.
Walking into the Academy of Magic, Caterina and I parted ways, and she went to Kiger's lab while I went to Yerkes' lab.
Scholar Yerkes was waiting for me early in the laboratory, and when he saw me push the door in, he hurriedly pushed me to the workbench, where there was already a large pile of magic ink, and those wind snakeskin armor suits were neatly hung on the wooden shelves, and there was hardly much greeting.
Smooth magic lines spit out from the tip of the pen, and I entered that state of 'mental concentration', as if everything around me was solidified, in my world, there was only a pen in my hand, and there was only a workbench in front of me, and on the table was a wind snakeskin breastplate, and the magic lines on the leather armor were accumulating little by little, breeding.
When I stopped the magic carving pen in my hand, a complete set of 'snake and demon fangs' magic pattern set had taken shape, and the next step was to add the companion magic pattern to this perfect magic pattern structure - 'reduce demand'.
The Yerkes scholar stood beside me step by step, and when I stopped writing again, the 'Snake Demon Fang' magic pattern structure was already brilliantly placed in front of the Yerkis Scholar, I exhaled a long breath, this drawing process was really incisive, I found that the drawing of the 'Demon Snake Fang' at this moment was far more certain and skilled than before the adventure of Vasqui's plane.
Almost catharsis of the accumulated pressure in his heart, this set of magic pattern construction is almost a wave of it.
Scholar Yerkes stood aside with a look of disbelief in his eyes and asked me, "Is this it?"
I put down the magic pen, exhaled deeply, and said to him, "Yes, it is done." ”
Glancing up at the hourglass of time, it was already midnight, and instead of continuing to draw the next set of magic pattern structures, he slowly cleaned up the messy workbench.
Although the Yerkes scholar didn't know the first time he saw me draw the magic pattern structure, he still couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know, if those inscription masters knew the success rate of your magic pattern construction, they would think!"
I smiled and said, "What can I think, the most I can say is: Yerkes has found a good helper!"
Yerkes laughed heartily and said, "Haha, I'm really worried that you're trapped in Vasqui and won't be able to come back! Those orders at the summer festival have been pressed until now, if you don't return on time, even those liquidated damages can make me unable to turn over in my life." ”
He took out a magic box from the shelf in the lab and carefully placed the set of magic pattern structures inside.
I felt the almost depleted spiritual power in my body, and it seemed that the continuous drawing of magic patterns like this was really too great a drain on my spiritual power.
I hung the magic pen on the pen holder and said to Yerkes, "If that's the case, then you really have to thank someone." ”
Yerkes asked me, "Who?"
I said, "Senior Dylan, if he hadn't found another way to design a sea ship that could pass through the spatial rift, I'm afraid that Noah and I would have been trapped in Vaschi by now!"
The Yerkes scholar asked in surprise, "He is also a student at the Royal Academy of Magic?"
I replied, "yes." ”
Yerkis was a little dumbfounded and said, "Now the magic students of the Royal Academy of Magic, have they all become so powerful?"
I smiled faintly, and didn't say that Senior Dylan was preparing some academic papers, maybe it won't be long before a young magician would appear again in the imperial capital, and he was also the coldest and most remote space magician.
After that, I sat down with the Yerkes scholar in the lounge area of the lab, and I took out a bottle of golden cider, poured Yerkes half a glass of golden cider, and added some crushed ice, and poured myself a glass, and we both sat on the couch in the lounge area, resting and drinking at the same time.
As if he remembered something, the scholar slapped his forehead vigorously and asked, "This morning, Eve was still asking me about your wedding, if we hadn't read it in the newspapers, I'm afraid we wouldn't have known that your kid had quietly married, and the bride was really the princess of the Wizard Academy?"
I took a sip of my wine and said, "Yes, and there is another one that is Princess Win Li, the daughter of Prince James." ”
"Are you crazy? Married two girls of this size in one night, did they not agree with the family, so you chose to have an unmanned wedding in the evening? One is the daughter of the Prince of James, and the other is the intimate lover of the Prince of Wales, you are really bold enough. The Yerkes scholar said, clutching his hair with a sullen expression.
Then he said: "That guy Bruce said to me a long time ago, 'You have an affair with the Kig scholar of the Magic Potions', and I didn't believe it at the time, saying that no matter how bold you are, you can't dig into the corner of that Welsh kid, but I didn't expect this to be true, and then there is more than that, you actually married a princess of the Angel Bird royal family quietly." ”
I sat on the couch across from him and laughed 'hey' without much explanation......
