my age of magic

Chapter 1278 82. The Dilemma of Ivan and Diego
The sound of the bell came from the window into the classroom, drowning out Mr. Martin's speech...

Teacher Martin shook his head helplessly, reached out to close the magic book spread out on the desk, picked up the thick book cover with seven magic gemstones inlaid in different colors, and walked out of the classroom slowly.

Noah and I struggled to squeeze out from the back door of the classroom, and followed the flow of people in the corridor to the spiral staircase. Shirley Newman stood at the door of the next class, waving goodbye to other students, and seeing Noah squeezed over, So he squeezed into the crowd and took Noah's arm and walked with us.

Whenever get out of class is over, the spiral staircase of the teaching building of the Royal Academy of Magic always has the momentum of galloping horses, and hundreds of magic students rush out through the door of the teaching building.

Noah likes this kind of scene where many people are crowded together. He put his shoulders on my back and put his arms around Shirley's slender waist, and walked downstairs quickly along the crowd.

In the crowd, unless you can squeeze to the wall or the corner of the stairway, it is difficult to stop.

Without the academy of Prince George and Quentin, the Imperial Capital Gang became silent again, and they no longer act arrogantly and recklessly in the academy as before.

The Inscription Literature Society has also begun to join some newcomers, but after all, the Inscription Literature Society is still under the control of the Imperial Capital Gang. Unless the magic students from various provinces have extremely high inscription talent, it is difficult to touch the door of the Inscription Literature Society.

I heard from Noah that someone wants to re-establish the Sword and Magic Club. It is said that there is a beautiful elf girl in this class of freshmen who is no less than Lucia. For more than two months, it seems that I have never seen that highly respected elf girl. It is said that this elf girl has pure silver moon elf blood.

But to be honest, maybe because I have been with orcs for too long, I hate elves a little bit.

There is a group of people around the fountain, and it will be very lively every day, but today is a little different.

The magic students gathered by the fountain formed a big circle. There were some quarrels in the circle, but no one stepped forward to help.

Ying Li happened to be chatting with a female magic student wearing a dark green Calmian magic robe by the fountain at this time, but he didn't see Noah and I coming out of the teaching building. He glanced at the meaningful eyes, and whispered in my ear: "Jijia, I was almost deceived by you, so you know Tinuviel."

"Tinuviel? The name of the elf..."

I was whispering this to Noah when the female magic student in a Calmian magic robe suddenly turned around and looked at me curiously.

She has a pair of pointed crystal-clear ears, even the tiny blood vessels on them are clearly visible, her quietness is like two clear springs, straight and straight, with the same water chestnut-shaped lips as Lucia, her figure is slender and tall, It looks like a noble and elegant white swan.

She smiled at me.

Although every elf's smile felt so fake to me, I still nodded to her.

"I am Tinuviel, from Buenos," she said gracefully to me.

Her eyes are very clear, but there is a sense of distance standing on the other side of the sea.

"Hi, I'm Jijia." I said to her flatly.

Yingli held Tinuviel's hand, looking a little nervous. She is the kind of girl who will not make people think she is a princess no matter where she is. She lacks a little bit of self-confidence as a princess. She said to me: "Ji Jia, she is my...friend!"

Then she turned around and asked the elf beauty with some uncertainty: "Tinuviel, this is Jijia."

"Gijia, hello!" When Tinuviel spoke, his pointed chin always lifted slightly.

To be honest, I don't like girls with aggressive eyes very much. Just when I was about to speak, the circle around the fountain caused a wave of restlessness and interrupted our conversation.

Although few people dare to make trouble in the Royal Academy of Magic, it doesn't mean that there are none.

The current situation looks like someone broke into the academy to find fault, and was surrounded by magic students who had just rushed out of the teaching building after class.

"Hey, you can't hit people in the Royal Academy of Magic?" A young voice shouted loudly, and there were many voices responding.

Obviously, this voice resonated with many magical students around, and everyone huddled inside with the same hatred.

If it wasn't for Shirley holding Noah tightly, Noah might have already rushed over.

One of the people surrounded by the crowd shouted loudly: "...we didn't hit anyone, we came here to find friends, we just want to tell these two friends, it's no use hiding from us all the time, or Pay back the money as soon as possible, you students of the Royal Academy of Magic receive the allowance given by the empire every month, and you are all decent people in the Grimm Empire, it is best not to be that kind of rogue who doesn't pay back his debts."

As they spoke, a few noble-looking young men forcefully squeezed out from the circle, striding towards the gate of the college.

After they walked out of the Royal Academy of Magic, the crowd gathered by the pool was about to disperse, and Ivan and Diego walked out of the crowd with a look of distress.

The two of them seemed a little distraught, followed by a few blank-faced members of the Inscription Literature Society. They walked in a hurry, even in a panic, and didn't notice Noah and me by the fountain. When they saw us, they just walked away. I realized that it was too late to avoid it, and it was obviously more embarrassing to turn around and leave at this time, so I could only bite the bullet, completely ignore the existence of Noah and me, and pass us by.

The members of the Inscription Literature Society have been staring at me and Noah vigilantly.

Noah's eyes widened, as if he had discovered something interesting, and he waited until Ivan and Diego had gone far away before saying to me: "Hey, Jijia, guess what happened to let them Are the two like bereaved dogs?"

Noah put one hand on my shoulder and said with a puzzled expression: "Speaking of which, according to their family background in the imperial capital, they are still magic students of the Royal Academy who are good at inscriptions, so it is impossible for them to be short of money! "

The young master of the Mensa family may never understand what it feels like to be short of money.

Shirley, who was standing beside him, said: "Recently, I have heard people talking about the two of them. They used to get along very well in the Inscription Society, and Ivan is one of the few magicians in the academy who has the status of an inscription teacher." born……"

When she said this, Shirley Newman couldn't help looking at me, and then said: "I heard that they used their own savings to open a rune board workshop, but this rune board workshop Bangongfang has been losing money for the past few months, and the two of them have to contribute money every month."

It seems that Shirley's social circle in the Royal Academy of Magic is much larger than that of Noah and me. Otherwise, she would not have known so clearly, and even knew something about Ivan and Diego's rune board workshop.

Noah asked back: "Even if you open a rune board workshop, it's nothing to the two of them!"

He probably felt that even opening a rune board workshop would not cause Ivan and Diego's economy to run into deficit.

Shirley said to Noah: "Of course, opening a rune board workshop will not make them so embarrassed, but the problem is that they invested a sum of money in the military supplies business of the war of planes at the beginning of the school year." .”

"..." Noah and I looked at each other. From the eyes of each other, we probably understood what the problem was.

Next, the words of Shirley Newman verified our thoughts: "It is said that they, together with George and Quentin, bought magic herbs everywhere in the imperial capital to support His Royal Highness Charlie's war in the multi-dimensional plane of Ahn'Qirad. It is a pity that this Although the money was invested, because George and Quentin went to Qiyan City, the reselling of military supplies came to an end without a problem.”

"The whereabouts of the magic herbs hoarded by Prince George have also become unknown, and the money belonging to the two of them has also been lost. It is said that they not only took out all their savings, but also raised a sum of money from their families. I borrowed a sum from outside, and those people probably came to them just now to collect the debt."

The third prince Eric sent Prince George to Qiyan City, and all the magic herbs were returned to the magic merchants, but the gold coins returned from the magic merchants did not return to Ivan and Diego. I think they The two probably didn't have the courage to go to the third prince Eric to ask for money, which made the situation so embarrassing.

When Shirley Newman saw Noah and I staring at her blankly, he blushed slightly and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I heard these things from people in the Inscription Literature Club."

Yingli and Tinuviel also approached a few magic students from this world, Yingli hesitated for a moment, and said to me: "Jijia, Noah, Shirley, do you want to go out to eat with us?"

This sentence was so insincere, I had no choice but to follow Ying Li's thoughts and say: "Forget it this time, let's get together next time when we have a chance."

After finishing speaking, I glanced at Noah and said, "I have already made an appointment with Marvin, and he is still waiting for me at the trading house. I am going to go to the copperware shop with him to finalize the first batch of lamp holders and sockets for those magic wall lamps." Lampshade, I have to go to the Imperial Academy of Magic later."

"Okay, be careful along the way." A charming dimple appeared on Ying Li's face.

Noah looked at me with a dazed expression, his eyes filled with the meaning of "going to a trading company, why haven't I heard you mention it before..." .

I ignored Noah's puzzled eyes, waved goodbye to them with a straight face, and met Katerina who was waiting at the gate of the college.

A magic caravan stopped at the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic. I took Katerina to board the magic caravan. The midday sun shone into the car. I happened to see Yingli and Tinuviel mixed with a group of female magicians through the car window. In the crowd of freshmen, a group of people walked through the square in front of the teaching building of the college, talking and laughing, and walked towards the west gate of the college.

Noah was dragged into her circle by Shirley Newman. She didn't know what Noah said, and cheers erupted from the crowd, and then they surrounded Noah and Shirley Newman and went to the west gate of the college. go to the food street.

At such times, Katerina would sit quietly aside, her ruby-like eyes revealing a gentleness like water.

The carriage galloped all the way to the trading house.

Almost all the canned luncheon meat and meat floss bricks hoarded in the trading firm have become military supplies for the plane of Luoqi.

The Prince of Wales and the Marquess of Haslab bought more than half of the stock, and the rest of the goods have to maintain the basic stock of dozens of magic grocery stores in the imperial capital.

Nowadays, the warehouses in the trading houses are basically empty, and the empty ones look a bit depressed, and some employees in the warehouses are even sitting under the empty shelves and dozing off.

In the past two weeks, Ma Wen has prepared materials capable of filling three magic airships, which are currently stored in the warehouse at the airport town, including some copper hot pots and magic table lamps, and he plans to go to Pai in person. Plateau to stabilize the business road left by Qige.

There has been a big change in the personnel of the trading firm recently. Marvin is worried that those who leave the trading firm will use Qige's business route to trade with the orcs on the Pai plateau, so this time he plans to bring a token and go to Pai in person. Gluding town on the plateau.

We still have the last batch of copperware in the copperware shop. Marvin and I made an appointment to go to the copperware shop this afternoon, not only to pick up the goods, but also to finalize the specific amount and quantity of the next few batches. due date.

Seeing Katerina and I push the door in, Marvin was checking the detailed list of goods with several employees. Spee brought us two cups of tea and said to me: "I thought you would come here after lunch .”

Sitting on the sofa in Marvin's office, I asked Si Pei, "How is the preparation of the goods in the airport town?"

"It's almost complete. Marvin is checking the list of goods on board." Si Pei sat down opposite me and said.

After Marvin checked the list, he came over and sat side by side with Spei, and we chatted and talked about the second round of the 'Focus Fire' rune board and the 'Miniature Tornado' rune board. Price adjustment, with the further increase in the output of rune board workshops, at least ten or more rune board workshops in the imperial capital will be affected by this price reduction.

In fact, it is not deliberately aimed at Ivan and Diego's rune board workshop, but their rune board workshop not only supports Hank and Brennan, as well as the original craftsmen of my rune board workshop. There is also a need to feed a group of employees who were forced to leave the trading firm because of a private transaction with Prince George. These all require Ivan and Diego to pay extra for this.

In the second wave of price cuts for the metal rune plates of 'Focus Fire' and 'Miniature Tornado', Ivan and Diego's rune plate workshops did not have any price advantage, so they suffered a great deal of impact.

Limited by the size of the copper chafing dish, the Gathering Fire rune board was once made into a palm-sized round rune board, so this blank rune board is different from other rune boards.

Now they have to pay a net loss of at least 35 silver coins for every fire-focusing magic rune tablet they produce.

But if the Fire Focus magic rune boards are not produced, then it means that the entire production line in the workshop for making Blank Fire rune boards will be scrapped directly, and the Fire Focus rune boards hoarded in the warehouse will also become A pile of scrap iron, in this dilemma, no wonder Ivan and Diego looked so embarrassed.
