Surdak was riding on the horse, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. The exchange ratio between magic crystals and gold coins had dropped a bit. This was not good news for him, mainly because he still had two coins piled in his pocket.
There are hundreds of magic cores that have not been polished. Although these magic cores will not produce magic crystals one by one, they are also valuable items that will produce magic crystal fragments without magic crystals.
At this time, the exchange rate of magic crystals in the imperial capital actually dropped. In total, the total of more than two hundred magic cores resulted in a loss of at least one hundred gold coins.
I heard the middle-aged woman at the airport terminal say that if the plane master continues, the magic crystal is likely to continue to depreciate in value. Surdak deeply agrees with this. After all, an evil ghost is destined to have a magic crystal in his body.
Magic crystals, on the battlefield, as long as evil spirits are continuously killed, these magic crystals will be continuously transported to the Green Empire, and of course these magic crystals will continue to depreciate in value.
Surdak felt that at this time, the magic crystal in hand should be sold as soon as possible, and it might be more reliable to exchange it for gold coins.
As the saying goes: Antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times are always right to turn into a box of gold coins.
But first, these magic cores need to be polished into magic crystals, so Surdak decided to go to a jewelry shop after entering the city and let the jewelers polish all the magic cores. Magic crystals can be exchanged for gold coins.
It is more reliable to find a bank to handle the matter.
Thinking of this, Suldak reached out and patted the ancient Bolai horse's buttocks, instructing it to walk faster.
Outside the city of Ivorsen are endless wheat fields. At this time, the wheat fields are golden. Some workers are standing in the wheat fields under the scorching sun to harvest wheat. They stack the whole bundles of wheat into tall haystacks.
The wheat field was like a series of makeshift tents. A group of children and some wanderers ran into the field to pick wheat ears.
As long as they do not steal ears of wheat from the wheat stacks or pull unharvested wheat from the wheat fields, this practice of the tramps is protected by the laws of the Green Empire. In other words, those homeless tramps who do not have land are under the supervision of farmers.
Farmers are not allowed to drive them away while picking wheat ears in the fields. The main reason for doing this is to give some hope of survival to the homeless people living at the bottom of society.
In this harvest season, as long as you work hard, it is not difficult for one person to pick up two baskets of wheat ears a day.
After half a month, if the picked wheat ears are ground into whole wheat flour, it will weigh at least several hundred kilograms. If we dig some sweet potatoes from the wild and collect some tree rice from the forest in the mountains, we will have a year's living rations.
It can be easily obtained. As long as you have a shelter from the wind and rain, even if you are poorer, your life can still go on, even for those penniless wanderers.
There are patches of sunflowers planted on the slopes in the distance. These sunflowers need to wait until autumn to be harvested. Now everything growing in the fields is so prosperous. The farmers here are not planting these sunflowers to make spiced melon seeds.
Sunflower seeds are used to extract oil. In autumn, entire trays of sunflowers will be cut down and transported to the threshing floor to be exposed to the scorching sun. The harvested seeds will then be sent to an oil mill specialized in extracting oil.
This is the Green Empire, where the breath of life is everywhere. No matter where you are, even if you are penniless, there is always hope of living.
Surdak's heart was suddenly filled with this pastoral scenery. Maybe the land in Helensa City is more fertile than that in Ivorson City. Maybe he bought a piece of land at the foot of a hill or by a lake and started running it.
Become a farm and manor, maybe this will be your new life.
…
At the beginning of this month, a conflict broke out between magicians and upper-class nobles in the imperial capital of the Green Empire. Although this conflict did not spread to the entire Green Empire, the irreconcilable conflicts between magicians and upper-class nobles became clearer.
It emerged that the catwalk between magicians and the aristocracy has been deepening and the relationship has been deteriorating, which has also brought some magic industries in the Green Empire to a state of stagnation.
For a long time, the common people in the Green Empire wanted to become nobles overnight. The only way was to awaken their own magic pool during the magic awakening ceremony at the age of twelve and become an elemental affinity.
In this case, the magician will not only obtain the magic apprentice badge, but also become a magic noble of the Green Empire.
Magic apprentices will enter junior magic academies in various places for free. If they perform well enough, they can continue to study in higher magic academies with recommendation letters from their instructors. There are often several magicians who graduate from higher magic academies.
way:
The first is to enter a magic union or a magic academy to become a magic scholar. Only the most outstanding magicians can become magic scholars. In fact, this ratio is still very large. Almost all magicians who graduate from advanced academies can become magic scholars.
Sixty percent will be engaged in magic research.
The second is to join the army of noble lords, become a member of the magician war group or become the manager of some magic workshops of noble families, such as those magic rune plate inscription masters, magic scroll making masters, magic gem craftsmen, and alchemists.
Magicians, magic apothecaries, etc. In the aristocratic world, it is hard to recruit young magicians. In many cases, it is nothing more than wealth, power and women.
The third option is to join some private adventure groups and go on adventures around the world. The world is so big and I want to see everywhere. The magicians who choose this path yearn for freedom in their hearts. In fact, there are probably less than a hundred of them.
Ten out of ten young magicians will choose this path.
It was precisely because of the conflict caused by Duke Ryan Bousman at the ball that the magicians of the Green Empire suddenly realized that they were so unworthy in the eyes of the upper-class nobles. The traditional forces
The nobles have never regarded the magician nobles as the same kind of people. Some of these ancient noble forces even look down on the magician nobles.
As a result, a protest triggered by the magician nobles quickly broke out and swept the country.
As a result, the most direct impact on Surdak is that the maintenance work of the magic airship has come to a halt at the airport terminal in Ivorson City. The floating device of the magic airship requires a professional magic rune master every time before it sets sail.
Carry out inspection and maintenance to ensure that the flotation device can operate normally during this voyage.
But now the magicians in Ivorson City have participated in the general strike held by the local magic union to protest Duke Ryan's unequal attitude towards the magicians. So here at the airport terminal, Ivorson
The route between the city and Bena City will be changed to once a week. If it were half a month ago, the airship bound for Bena Province would have been at least once every two days. After all, some of the supplies needed by the Bena Army were transported from Bena Province.
.
This information was learned by Surdak from a fur trader who was preparing to return to Bena Province on his way back to Ivorson City.
The fur trader himself is a magic noble, but he is limited by his talent and does not have much talent in magic. After graduating from Bena Junior Magic Academy, he graduated as a magic apprentice. After so many years, he is only a second-level magician.
He is just a magician, and now he has opened a magic leather business in Bena City, and this business is doing very well.
This magic businessman was able to hang out with Surdak because he happened to hear Surdak speaking a Bena dialect and talking to people on the road, so he got together to chat. Surdak also wanted to know about the Bena province.
After more information, I chatted with the magic merchant...
