The Black Sage carefully explored the entire theater with his mental power, and then said: "It seems that there is no projection of the mage in the current Sage Capital?"
Yin Lian suddenly laughed: "You are here now, so why do you need false images to represent you?"
The Black Sage immediately smiled and said, "In that case, let's go out. Since everyone is here at this banquet, we shouldn't be absent."
Yin Lian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. The Black Sage's mood was unusually high. You should know that he was not usually a person who loved to join in the fun, but it seemed that he was indeed in a good mood at this time.
In fact, it was not just the Black Sage who was in a good mood, it seemed that all the mages were in high spirits. They were obviously a bunch of otakus on weekdays, but at this time, their social enthusiasm was high. When Yin Lian went downstairs, she found that Mange was still standing next to Kai Jia's shadow, staring at her.
Yin Lian: "?"
When Mange saw Yin Lian coming over, he seemed to feel that he had finally found someone to vent his emotions to, so he took the initiative and said to her, "She and Kai Jia actually look nothing alike."
Yin Lian asked curiously: "What does Kaijia look like?"
Mange replied: "I don't remember."
Yin Lian had a black line on his head and thought: Then can you tell whether it looks like it or not?
But Mange continued: "But I always feel that her facial features are softer and not so beautiful. Her smile is not so standard, and most of the time, she is not as calm as she appears."
Yin Lian originally thought that Mange should have beautified Kaijia in his memory, but when he heard him say this, he fell silent. According to Mange, the Kaijia in his memory is actually far less perfect, but at the same time more real.
Yin Lian could understand what he meant.
Kaijia on stage is perfect and standardized, but she is performing after all. For Mange, although the Kaijia in her memory may not be perfect, she is real.
The real Kaijia is beyond appearance and far more respectable than any story.
Of course there was no Shabri in reality, but Kaijia did die during an attack while trying to protect the apprentice who was attacked. There was one thing that Yin Lian couldn't quite accept, but he had to admit that in such an era, a pure-hearted and soft-hearted mage died very quickly.
The surviving mages have either slowly cultivated themselves to be cold-hearted, or have truly become cold-hearted and selfish due to years of experience.
Probably the only thing worthy of admiration is their sincere love for the gifted.
For most mages, they either actively or passively do not have a partner. According to what Yin Lian heard, although there are a very small number of mages who have formal partners or form partnerships with other mages, most of them will not have offspring. Moreover, if two mages form a partnership, the chance of having offspring is higher than that of ordinary mages. It is much cheaper for people to form a partner.
The reason is unknown, but Yin Lian thinks it may be related to physiological changes. The lifespan of mages is much longer than that of ordinary people, and it is possible that the fertility rate will be reduced. Not to mention that some female mages will use some drugs to maintain their physiological state at an optimal state (fewer male mages will also do this) ——From Yin Lian's point of view, that is basically rejecting some physiological changes that will lead to fertility.
But there's a reason why they do it. Even if two magicians become partners, it seems that the children they give birth to will not necessarily be gifted with magic. Among mages, without magic talent, they will lack multi-faceted combat effectiveness and creativity, and will be inferior to others in terms of innate ability. Rather than giving birth to such children and then watching their offspring slowly leave the circle of mages, some mages even think that it is better to teach talented people as disciples and raise them as offspring.
Coupled with the special experiences that magicians have received over the years, most of them have a very indifferent view of blood relations. Therefore, the concepts of reproduction and raising offspring among magicians are actually very different from ordinary people. .
Although it is different, Yin Lian also feels that it is a respectable quality.
Mange was immersed in his memories. Yin Lian chatted with him for a while, then he grabbed a little mage next to him who was peeping his head, and asked her to listen to the other party's ancient gossip, and he slipped away.
The mages were very excited, but Yin Lian couldn't help but waste time here with them. There are still some arrangements for the evening auction that need to be further determined.
The drama is over, and not everyone is interested in celebrating. For those who were not interested, Yin Lian arranged for them to go to the auction house to visit and sit down. For the remaining people, Yin Lian also distributed some brochures to them according to the situation.
The brochure is not entirely a product introduction brochure for the auction. According to the background, not everyone has enough financial resources to participate in the trade fair. However, Yin Lian generally took into account the spending power of multiple classes, and the manual was divided into several types of content.
The product albums at the official auctions are for the nobles or mages with the strongest financial resources. Relatively speaking, the second version of the album depicts various peripherals produced by the theater, as well as non-auction daily commodities that are usually sold at the auction house. There are various varieties, and although the price is not cheap, it is not less than The price is sky-high, making it a commodity that the middle class can afford. In addition, the third one is a kind of travel map - although the ticket price for the premiere of "The Black Sage" is expensive, and those who can come in to watch it should have nothing to do with poverty, there are also some ways to save food. Mage apprentices or well-off families who only use their money for luxury, so Yin Lian also provides an atlas suitable for them, which is a map of various tourist locations and entertainment consumption places in the City of Sages.
She also kindly marked the consumption level on each store.
Because the education level of the people in this world is not good, the atlases are basically drawings. Even the consumption levels are marked with icons of silver coins, gold coins or vouchers. It can be said to be very friendly and easy to understand.
Not only that, Yin Lian also arranged for a special guide to be at the door to introduce various travel packages to those who did not want to go to the auction. Tourists don't need to think too much. The guide will let those who are willing to choose the package they want, ranging from ten silver coins to fifty gold coins. However, they will be led by specialized tour guides to places of corresponding levels for consumption and entertainment.
Mathil currently does not have a tour guide program, nor does he have a history of shady tour guides, but Yin Lian's arrangements are quite reliable and conscientious. Basically, the consumption limit is the consumption limit, and it is guaranteed. Value for money. However, if tourists themselves want to consume other content, then they have to calculate it separately.
After Yin Lian checked the current functioning of each joint, he went straight to the auction house.
At this time, the auction house was already very busy, but overall it was not overcrowded. The exhibition hall outside was now filled with a variety of rare products that were rarely seen at ordinary times. There was a bidding box in front of each product, and some simplified bidding documents next to it. A waiter stood in the foyer, responsible for answering questions for every guest who had questions.
"It's like this. If a customer wants to participate in the auction, whether in the hall or in the auction house inside, he needs to register with us first and pay a deposit. Participating in the auction in the hall requires a deposit of ten gold coins. If If it is an auction site, one thousand gold coins are required. If you do not participate in the auction or the auction fails, the deposit will be fully refunded. If you regret it after the auction is successful, or cannot pay the promised gold coins, then we will confiscate the deposit and arrange another auction for the product. time."
"As for identity, we will use a magic crystal to record mental fluctuations. Using mental fluctuations as identity identification will never go wrong."
Judging from Mathil's current technical level, Yin Lian has basically considered every aspect of the matter and could not be more thoughtful.
During this process, because the required deposit is considered a huge amount of money for the corresponding group of people, some disputes are inevitable. Yin Lian allowed the person in charge to deal with these problems. Seeing that they were handled well, he did not interfere.
There are many items in the auction this time, including those related to the drama, such as the photo crystals of the four scenes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the full character figures of "The Wizard King" and "The Black Sage", and some that have little to do with the drama. , for example, some relatively novel magic props.
Most of these are listed in the brochure, but most of them are just pictures without much detailed text introduction, so many people do not understand the specific functions of these objects, and their enthusiasm for them is still far less than that of theater peripherals.
But for Yin Lian, these two dramas are not the highlight of the auction. To put it bluntly, it is just a comprehensive advertisement. Now that it has gained popularity in mainland China, it can almost retire with success. From now on, the key business of the auction house is no longer around drama, but on "civilized society."
In order to achieve this goal, Yin Lian must make today's auction a success.
As the lanterns came on, bright magic lights lit up everywhere in the auction house venue. The visiting guests all showed expressions of astonishment. In fact, before this, it was not that there were no magic lamps in the City of Sages, it was just that... there were not so many tricks.
The magic lamp displayed by Yin Lian this time borrowed Lu Dongci's creativity and engraved various simple magic circuits into the magic crystals connected in various ways. These magic circuits are not the same as any existing magic circle. If I have to say it, they were actually designed by Lu Dongci based on the basic physical principles of energy conversion. They are more advanced than Mathil's most basic magic circle. Basic magic circuit.
Although the power system and knowledge system of the two worlds are different, the circuit developed by Lu Dongci can indeed be used in Matir. Yin Lian believes that this may indicate that the most basic energy principles of the two worlds are still common. In other words, a lot of knowledge and technology between the two may be common in the future.
This magic lamp is an attempt.
The energy source used by the magic lamp is magic power, but its structure has undergone complex changes. The magic circuit is combined with electronic parts, and finally it becomes a crystal lamp with a complex structure but stunning visual effects. If this kind of lamp was brought back to Earth and sold, it would probably become a very popular decoration, not to mention Martier, who was slow to develop in this area.
There are three types of magic lamps in the venue. One is square columnar lamps with rounded edges, which are evenly distributed inside the venue. The transparent lamps sparkle like scattered sand inside. The second type is the flower-shaped lamps supported by pillars and neatly arranged on both sides of the walkway. The edges of the petals are painted with tiny rays of light. They are so beautiful that people want to steal them. The third is the main lighting tool, a round lamp hanging from the ceiling, which is brighter than any magic lamp that most people have ever seen.
This arrangement alone has already stunned the guests who entered.
After Yin Lian inspected everywhere and confirmed that every job was completed rigorously, it was almost time for the auction to begin. The venue was already full of people, and the waiter would not let anyone in who wanted to come in later - except, of course, the Black Sage.
He arrived almost without time, followed by a few of his subordinates who were stalking him. Yin Lian asked someone to lead him to the box. The Black Sage used magic to convey his voice and asked Yin Lian to pass. However, his student refused without hesitation and said very rudely: "Do you think I am as free as you? "
Black Sage: "..."
When the other mages behind him saw this scene, they kept their mouths shut tighter than river clams, but there was no doubt in their hearts that they were gossiping so much.
