In the warm pavilion with vermilion columns, Su Ming was holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly.

The aroma of tea leaves swayed in this small space with the ethereal heat, and the kettle on the fire next to it was gurgling, and small flames were constantly spitting out from the gap between the stove and the bottom of the pot.

He summoned all the archmages of Kama Taj and also contacted the resident mages of the three sanctuary temples, and this was the first time that Kama Taj had a congress.

There was no noise of gongs and drums, and there were no representatives to speak, it was more like a New Year's tea party, but it was a month late.

There are not many archmages that Kama Taj can use now, and there are a few that cannot move freely, such as Master Ouyang in Xiangjiang, the master in New York who is obviously black but is called White, and the old naughty boy who is stationed in London, whose real name is Merlin, but Su Ming pretended not to know and called him a naughty master.

The only archmages that can be used around are the druid masters, Hamill, Monak, and Mordo, whose painting style has become strange.

Xiao Wang and Casillas are still too young, their strength and experience are not enough, and the other apprentices are the same, they still need time to develop and cultivate.

"Strange, what are you Kama Taj calling me for a meeting?"

Monac sat behind a table with a plate of cold white meat and a jug of wine in front of him, feeling like he had returned to the Han Dynasty. But next to him was Mordo, who was wearing only a few black patent leather belts, and that greasy smile made the magic prince very uncomfortable.

"If you want to join Kama Taj, you can do it anytime." Su Ming put down the teacup and showed a smile like the ancient one.

"Excuse me, I still like freedom, let's get down to business, you found everyone just to persuade me to join?" Monak took a piece of white meat with his chopsticks and tasted it, so tired that he stuck out his tongue.

"Yes, there is indeed one thing that I need you to work together to do, and that is that in order to deal with the possible successive dimensional invasions in the future, I will channel all the energy of the demon gods to impact the barrier into the Cosmic Cube."

Su Ming pointed to the floor and said his purpose, that blue square was the strongest weapon in his hand, but after studying it in Kama Taj for so many years, Mao didn't study it.

So he was a little skeptical, was it because the Hydra pumped its energy to make batteries too hard and caused the energy to be insufficient? Why not move at all?

Then try it now with the energy of the Dimensional Demon Gods.

Connecting the cosmic cube into the protective circle like a capacitor not only absorbs energy, but also improves the sturdiness of the circle, which makes sense in principle.

It's just that Su Ming doesn't know how to do the specific steps.

In fact, so many people present basically came to accompany the run, and the only one who could modify the magic circle left by the ancient one was Merlin.

As the Supreme Mage thought, hearing such a mission, everyone's eyes turned to the white-bearded old man wearing crescent glasses, and in that magic projection, Merlin was experimenting with the new test item 10086.

Poor Windlord is locked in a large glass enclosure, and the Naughty Master is trying to electrify him.

"Oh, what? Want to plug a protective circle into a rechargeable backup power source? The Naughty Master pressed the red button, and his recent research direction has begun to be in the combination of technology and magic.

Su Ming rubbed his temples: "Yes, the principle should be what you said, but I don't know if the so-called 'power supply' is compatible with our magic." ”

"Haha, my master, the cosmic cube is the purest energy manifestation, and it can even embody imagination into ready-made matter, and it can also be used to change the thinking of others, and the cosmic energy is not divided into technology and magic, and it is human beings who are limited to their own cognition to classify them."

Merlin observes the electrified demon in the glass jar, the wind demon looks like an electrified trumpet blue tornado at this time, but under the restraint of magic, he can only let out a silent scream, screaming and spinning rapidly in the jar.

Hearing Su Ming's question, Merlin quickly answered, and his tone was very relaxed.

"Very well, so you can do this?" Su Ming refilled his teacup with water, and looked at the pale cyan water, a short tea stalk tumbling in the whirlpool.

Merlin lowered his head and recorded the data on the desktop, turned off the power of the experimental equipment, and looked at the people of Kama Taj seriously:

"Yes, the process is very simple, as long as I provide the method, anyone present here can do it, the key is whether you dare to imagine it, and put this idea into action, the upper limit of the strength of a wizard depends on imagination many times."

"Risky?" Su Ming raised his head and looked at the projected illusion screen.

"Everything in this world is risky." The Naughty Master began to fill the glass jar with water, and the Wind Demon was like a rag fluttering in the washing machine.

Su Ming smiled and nodded, he put down the teacup and made a decision: "You tell Hamill the method, let him do it, and I will solve it if something happens, by the way, don't say it's as simple as turning the elephant in the refrigerator in a few steps." ”

Merlin pushed his glasses, a hint of confusion on his face, "Is this a new joke?" By the way, you reminded me that our London temple is asking for more funding this year, and I'm going to buy a few large cold stores for research. ”

Well, in the Marvel world, if it's Azeroth, the mage will rub bread and water, that's an entry-level ability. But on Marvel's side, it involves creation, even if it is as strong as the ancient one, it does not have the ability to create.

Mages are also human beings, and they also need food, clothing, shelter and play, and mages who can be self-sufficient are almost non-existent. Monak had this potential, but he didn't eat the rabbits he killed, and he was blind to a farm of this size.

In order to survive, dark wizards often engage in robbery or theft, and sometimes fraud, such as 'mastermind', and illusionists are born fraudsters.

And a powerful force like Kama Taj generally derives his income from exorcism, or bartering, exchanging his own medicinal herbs for food from the outside world.

The town at the foot of the Kama Taj has always been protected by the Supreme Mage, who pay a part of the 'protection fee' at the annual harvest meeting, and the outside world will be transported here first, and then sent up the mountain by reliable manpower.

No, Nuoda's mage power Kama Taj, that's all there is to it. There is a background, but they are all magic props or magic gems, and they can't flow into human society at all.

At that time, everyone only needed to have food to eat and a few clothes to wear, and there was no other need, and the premise of self-sufficiency was scarcity. Apprentices at Kama Taj don't just have to focus on their studies, they also have to do some farm work or crafts every day.

However, after Su Ming became the owner of Kama Taj, with the financial support of Wilson's enterprise, they inevitably accepted the Supreme Mage's concept of money and realized the importance of money.

They recognize that where productivity is abundant, having money means that you can save a lot of time on groundwork.

In the past, if you wanted to do experiments, you had to prepare all the raw materials yourself, but now you can buy them directly with money.

Time is the most precious thing.

How many things have been done per unit of time, this is called efficiency, and if the efficiency is low, there will be no progress and gain.

If you have money, you can change your life, and you can use the time you used to farm and weave to practice martial arts, or use the time you used to carry water and chop wood to learn magic, and you don't have to do anything bad against your will, which is very fair, no matter how you look at it, it's right.

Besides, this generation of Supreme Mages is so good at making money, and they can reach out and feel at ease.

But no, not to mention anything else, it is the three temple archmages, who have guarded the three sanctuaries for hundreds of years, and have never received a penny of wages, all of them are voluntary labor.

Hundreds of years of vigilantes, any demon god who invades them is still in danger of life, Su Ming is a little embarrassed.

Besides, let them learn to spend money, which is also Su Ming's intention.

With the concept of money, you can enjoy the benefits brought by human society, and only by having sociality can Kama Taj take root in the ground, instead of the holy land that was high above before, which is too detached from the masses.

It's just that after renovating Kama Taj, spending a lot of money to dig wells, install generators and running water, and have flushing toilets, the modernization also brought some drawbacks.

That is, the archmages have let themselves go, and the frequency of experiments has greatly increased.

This is a good thing, but whether it is scientific research or magic research, there are a lot of resources that need to be invested every day.

In the past, Kama Taj bartered for goblin chambers of commerce with underground creatures, and generally gave them processed magic items in exchange for raw materials.

Now that human society can provide all kinds of materials, who still buys the things of goblin profiteers? A good piece of magic ore will be exchanged for a hundred magic toad eyeballs, why don't you grab it?

There are magic ores over there in the Divine Spear Bureau, they don't follow the path of magic, they have collected them in the past thousands of years, and they put them there as decorations, and they can be sold to Kama Taj very easily.

Zheng Xian said that RMB settlement is OK, if there is gold or foreign exchange dollars, it is better, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of RMB can be exchanged for a kilogram of magic ore, and you can pick and deliver it to your door.

In addition to this, the Archmages also tend to spend money on other things that can be used for money.

Running out of test monkeys? You don't have to catch a new one yourself, call Kunlun, pay for home delivery, and read a few magic books to wait for yourself.

Running out of coal to burn the boiler? Then I won't go to dig coal by myself, send a letter to the Spider Kingdom, buy them, and soon there will be a convoy to deliver the supplies to the foot of the mountain.

Spending money is like running water, and it's all Su Ming's money.

He was a little skeptical that Gu Yi ran away if there were some factors in this regard? Because she saw that the tide of the market economy could not be stopped?

The major forces are using money, and Kama Taj used to not use it, but now it doesn't.

Rapid development is all about efficiency, even if Su Ming knows that playing magic is to burn money, he must burn it, so that his mages have more time to study magic and improve their combat effectiveness.

The universe is changing faster and faster, and if he is backward, he will be beaten, and he does not want to be beaten. In the future, there must be someone among reliable mages who can step up and help.

In the past, at the beginning of each year, these people would ask for a new budget, but this year was the first official meeting, and it was proposed by Merlin on it.

"There will be money, but you yourself have to find a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure, there are many asteroid belts in the universe, and there may often be deposits such as gold, isn't it money to get back?"

Su Ming was a little helpless, he made a lot of money, but he also spent a lot of money, not to mention the Loyal Heir Academy and the cobweb, cultivating talents and developing espionage, money could not be saved.

In the various equipment for scientific research under Wilson's corporate headquarters, and the space construction in the secret dock, Su Mingdu specially built several power plants to supply energy, and the coal burned every day is a big number.

Thinking of this, he thought that it was time to ask Howard about the nuclear power plant, after all, nuclear bombs have been developed for so many years, and controllable fission should not be far away, right?

"Looking for minerals in the vast universe? It's such a waste of time not to go. Merlin blew his beard and rubbed his fingers together.

Monak also shook his head: "Yes, we are witches, how can we spend our time on such boring things as making money?" ”

"Then why didn't you say that you weren't Kama Taj's mage when you spent my money?"

Su Ming glared at him, given that every time Monak made himself miserable, after experiencing the incident, he either cried endlessly or was in a trance, Su Ming, who always used people, was embarrassed to use it in vain, and always had to give him some money to buy some nutritional products to replenish his body.

Now the Prince of Magic has unwittingly become a mercenary mage.

Although he was happy about his change, Su Ming would not show it.

"That's the funeral money you gave to my 'children.'" Monak has been following Su Ming for so long, how could he not see it? He put on a posture of peace of mind.

Su Ming looked at Monak's bulging belly, I'm afraid that these funeral expenses have turned into fat, he shook his head and looked at Hamill and said:

"Well, I know what you mean, you can go to Warneheim and sell homemade magic items in my mall there, and the proceeds will go to you, and I'll say hello to Gulveig. But first of all, don't let too much of the gold you get from trading into the earth market, don't get involved in anything in Asgard without permission, and report it to me immediately if you have any circumstances. ”

The archmages looked at each other and smiled, very satisfied, and even the white meat with only salt seemed to be delicious.
