"Auction? What do you mean?" Another female guest didn't quite understand the meaning of the word.
"It is said that it is a group of people bidding for something. Those who want to buy it bid, and the person with the highest bid can buy what they want."
"Isn't it just that the one with the highest price gets it? Isn't that how we usually buy things?" The female customer didn't understand the difference between the two.
The female guest in red clothes said: "I heard it's a little different. I heard it's a bit complicated, and I can't explain it very clearly. But have you seen Salmati's outfit? Oh my god, it's so simple It's like a rainbow in the sky. When I saw it, I felt that things created by magic are not necessarily bad. Even if it is a cursed skirt, I am still willing to wear it."
The female guest wearing a dark green skirt said: "That skirt is really eye-catching."
Naqi had never seen that skirt before and was very curious about it. Unfortunately, she was not as lucky as the commoners in the City of Sages. Anyone there can watch "The Wizard King", but that's not the case in Lake City.
I heard that the Green Gold Imperial Capital has begun to invite performance groups from the Sage Capital to perform, but Lake City cannot do this. The reluctance of some nobles is one reason, but the more important reason is that there is no theater for performances in Lake City, so even if the nobles want to watch, they can only go to the Sage Capital through the teleportation array.
But not everyone is as unsuspecting of magicians as Akara, who only cares about eating, drinking and having fun. Most of the high-ranking nobles are still very wary of the Mage Association and do not believe in the benefits they provide for no reason.
In fact, the mages did have ulterior motives for doing this, but their motives were too complicated and tortuous. Yin Lian didn't think that these people could figure it out with simple guesses.
If you can't guess it, you can say it doesn't exist.
There have been many new things in Mathil this year. First, various countries have begun to grow some special food products under the inducement of the Magic Association. Not only that, the Master Association began to select and graft breadfruit trees in various ways, and began to carry out unified, scientific and reasonable planting to make their taste better.
Yin Lian selected some people from the charity school of the Life Association who were interested in cooking and established a special cooking school to teach the chefs who were currently only half-experienced. This school has been warmly welcomed by the entire city of sages, and many people regard it as the greatest honor.
Elemental Master Mange was very dissatisfied with this. He once said sourly at a meeting: "If you can't be a mage, just become a chef... Tsk, can a chef be compared to a mage? I can kill a carload of people with just one spell. Is the chef good?"
"Then you continue to eat breadfruit?" Archmage Luca, who had always been indifferent to him, sneered and asked with a hint of sarcasm.
Jilia said: "Your Excellency Lian said that if it is not necessary, I hope all the mages will calm down and not kill people casually. The population of the City of Sages is too small, and many jobs cannot be expanded. She now has a lot of delicious food, Fun things can’t be put into practice at the moment.”
Luca said: "Recently, there has been some progress in the research on magic tools, which seems to be very interesting. However, there are indeed too few manpower, and most of the mages' time is spent on searching, collecting and processing materials. This part is completely It can be left to the untalented…population is indeed a big problem.”
The Undead Guild President Olive said: "I feel... I don't know when it started. You seem to have naturally regarded that little girl as your real 'Your Excellency'?"
Jilia paused and said: "I remember that she helped your Necromancer Association improve some very important magic circles and research methods not long ago."
Olivier crossed his chest, raised his lips, and said, "I don't deny this. Of course I have no ill intentions towards Sir Lian, I'm just a little... surprised. Don't you think that from the time she appeared until now, she Everything you do is too...perfect, doesn't it seem real?"
Jilia said: "She has dreams in her heart...different from us. Don't think that because you are a mummy that needs sunlight and moisture from the little girl's soul to work, you think that beauty like that shouldn't exist, okay?" "
Olive said: "That's too much! You didn't treat me like this when we last dated."
Jilia said: "I don't have that kind of need now. Besides, men are everywhere, and you are nothing special. There is only one, Mr. Lian."
Olive said: "Ah... woman."
Jilia said: "You can also find a man. Those students of yours will definitely be happy to do it."
Olive choked.
Luka heard what they were saying was outrageous, but he took the initiative to interrupt them and said: "In addition to this, some of the implantation auxiliary equipment that Sir Lian asked me to develop has also been developed. It is simply a wonderful idea. If it can be put into use If so, it can save a lot of manpower. Your Excellency, what you mean is that this kind of equipment can be priced into a ton of high-purity magic crystal or a set of one hundred magic apprentices with intermediate qualifications or above."
Jilia was very surprised: "Why? Didn't Your Excellency Lian not want to trade wheat seeds for apprentices before?"
Luka said: "About this...I don't quite understand."
As a result, the Black Sage's voice suddenly rang out.
"Because she wants to sell wheat seeds to more people as soon as possible, the conditions must be set lower. But these planting equipment are used to reduce labor consumption. Li An does not want to reduce labor consumption in various countries at the moment, so the selling price You can set it a little higher.”
Luca: "Why doesn't she want to reduce manpower consumption?"
The Black Sage said: "Because more people can do more things. Judging from the current strategies of various countries, they will only try to expand the population when manpower is useful. For us, population expansion has The number of apprentices with magical talents will also increase, and for Leanne, more people means that more things can be done, and more people can help complete her vision and make the continent a better place."
Olive said: "Your Excellency, I am really curious. Why does Your Excellency do these things? Does it mean anything to her to make the continent better?"
The Black Sage curled his lips and said, "When you go all the way to a place to find a newly born mage apprentice, have you ever thought about the meaning of it?"
Olive was stunned for a moment.
After a while, he said: "Magicians are already rare and are in a dangerous situation. If we cannot unite, then the only thing waiting for us will be destruction."
The Black Sage said: "Although I haven't asked her, she probably thinks so."
Olive didn't understand.
The Black Sage said: "Living, this is passing on the fire. It is the same for mages, and it is also for humans. In fact, she is not that pure and kind, and the child is sometimes quite cruel. However, the level she focuses on is different from all People are just different.”
Oliver thought for a while before he understood the meaning of this sentence.
Olife regards the group of mages as his companions, but Yin Lian regards human beings as his compatriots.
In fact, the Black Sage still looked up to Yin Lian - she did not treat everyone equally. She does, however, have a minimal sense of humanity towards all intelligent beings.
In her world, this is not very kind, it is just the most basic morality of human beings.
But this misunderstanding was not harmful to her.
For the auction of costumes, Yin Lian has recently been training some mages on auctions. In addition, she is also collecting information on various local dyes and preparing to build textile factories and printing and dyeing factories. The first batch of cotton and linen has been harvested, and wood mages have been dispatched to ripen it. The second batch of cotton and linen was planned to be planted normally, and the mages were only asked to cultivate the seedlings.
Mage breeding is really awesome. It's fast, accurate, and stable. Unless it's a dead seed, there's no need to worry about whether it will survive. Even if it is really a dead species, as long as there is still some activity inside, there is still a possibility that magic can be reactivated. Unfortunately, mages are often empiricists in all types of magic. They prefer the study of operating techniques, but do not pay attention to the analysis and research of magic principles, so naturally they have never tried to change, graft, or hybridize various plants. traits.
Yin Lian has been guiding them to do this recently, but there has been no direct results yet. But even if they can only operate without thinking, the abilities displayed by this group of mages are already remarkable. And this is far from their limit, just a superficial attempt.
At least in Martier, magical power can definitely be regarded as the primary productive force.
If it weren't for guarding against this group of mages, Yin Lian would actually like to bring a few back to Earth, or simply let the two worlds cooperate. But she cannot put her relatives, friends and compatriots in danger.
The longer you stay in this world, the more you feel the dangers of this world - this is an ideological difference.
At its most basic level...people in this world don't feel guilty about killing people.
This is not limited to mages, but ordinary people as well. Even the law does not expressly prohibit killing, of course, killing may be a crime - depending on the specific method. However, casualties caused by duels, manslaughter, or defensive counterattacks will not be interfered with.
Within the scope of the same class or for the lower class, this is the case. The nobles will naturally be different.
The mage's side is more original, with almost naked power supreme. The Black Sage uses his personal power to control the entire city to run according to his wishes. Unless civilians voluntarily follow a mage, they all belong to his property, so others will not act rashly.
Most of the recent refugees have come under the protection of the Church of Life. Because the mages have benefited from Yin Lian, they generally will not go to trouble these believers. As long as believers don't take the initiative to offend the mage, their lives are not in danger.
But this is only a consensus between the two parties, not a law.
In this case, Yin Lian would definitely not want the two worlds to intersect if he could. She will definitely guard this passage to avoid anything unpleasant happening to her.
That night, the Black Sage suddenly came to her and asked, "Will the sky you see in your hometown be different?"
