Chapter 681 Auction
The colors of "Cori hemp paper" are yellowish, and if it is older, it will be common to turn brown. Therefore, mages use spells to deal with it when using it. First, to prevent too many changes in the color of the straw paper and to prevent unclear handwriting. Second, to increase the storage time of the paper - because the plants are cut directly and dried, the storage conditions of this natural material are also extremely harsh. If placed in a place with high humidity, it will be common to rot in a year.
Therefore, although Lassiman's paper is low in manufacturing, the subsequent storage cost is extremely high, which is not something that ordinary people can use.
But Jeremy picked up the paper in front of her and looked carefully, and immediately realized that it was by no means a "natural plant". Although the paper also showed the original color of pulp because it did not have "bleach", its surface was smooth and evenly thin, and it was not as traces of leaf veins as "Cori hemp paper".
He raised the paper and looked carefully through the light of the magic light bulb. He folded it twice at the same time. Jeremy was even more shocked to the toughness of the paper. He didn't even write down the conclusion of the previous experiment, so he got up and called the laboratory assistant, holding the stack of paper on the table next to him and said, "Where did these come from? Why haven't I seen them before?"
The assistant was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "Sir Speaker, this is... provided by Jogel."
Jogel is a supplier of "Corie Hemp Paper" for all nearby magic towers. Because the quality of the paper he sells is guaranteed, the Magic Tower has signed supply agreements with him in the past five years. The assistant did not understand why Speaker Jeremy asked about it and added: "This is a new batch today. He said it was a new formula product, but because the price is a little expensive, I will get it directly to you."
The leader uses good things first, which is also the inherent rule of Rassieman. The assistant's words made Jeremy understand that the other party had never used this kind of paper, so he was not as surprised as himself.
Thinking of this, he arranged to say, "Then you go to Jogel and ask how much it will cost to supply these papers in the future. We will say that we are willing to change the agreement at any time."
"Yes, Lord Speaker."
"By the way, check the source of this thing by the way. What new recipes Joggel said, I don't really believe this is something he can make."
Jeremy's jealous eyes, and he could almost confirm that this might be an important existence that could change Lasciman - Jogel said that "new manufacturing technology" is correct, but the manufacturing technology is also constantly improved. This piece of paper is not brittle or soft, and has a stable property. At first glance, it is a mature work that balances various performances. Where can a vendor like Jogel make it?
The assistant took the order and left, but within a minute he ran back. Jamieri looked up in confusion, and the latter hurriedly said, "Speaker, it is the Rotica member of Barrenna who is here..."
Jeremy frowned. To be honest, he was upset by Rotica every day in parliament, so he didn't want to see him at all. Rotica rarely comes to the door on weekdays because it is often interpreted as a political signal, so he replied: "Have he said something is wrong?"
This question means that he is going to find a reason to shirk and not intend to meet. But the assistant's answer suddenly made him stunned-
"The MP Rotica wants to invite you to the 'Castec Fireplace' and say there is good news to tell you about 'improving the stability of the magic array'."
Jeremy's recent unsuccessful experiments are not news within the parliament, but no one can tell the solution. Rotica suddenly said this, obviously not aimlessly. After hearing this, the Speaker immediately changed his mind: "Let him wait on the first floor for a while, and I will change my clothes and go."
Magicians are all quick-moving people, and even if they can enter the parliament, no one has any procrastination. Ten minutes later, Jeremy, dressed in a formal dress, met Rotica in the reception area on the first floor of the Magic Tower. The latter smiled and greeted him a few words, and then led him to the carriage together - Rassieman also had the habit of "talking about things at the dinner table". The "Castec Fireplace" is the first choice for the top-level people. The identity of the Speaker and the core MP of Barrenner was placed here, so the two were naturally invited directly to the top-level private room.
"Long story short, I guess you won't like me to keep it a secret." Member Rotica took out an invitation without any nonsense and handed it to Jeremy: "Norgfog Auction House will hold a large auction next week, this is the catalog that just came out."
Jeremy knew there was an answer, so she lowered her head and glanced. The seemingly rare magic equipment in front was not attractive in his eyes, but the last page made him widen his eyes: "Eight kilograms of cobalt gold mine?!"
"Only Nogfog dares to accept such a commission."
Rotica continued lukewarmly, and Barrenner almost monopolized the production of the "cobalt gold mine", so he was naturally unhappy with it. However, with his power, he still couldn't find trouble with the "Norgfog Auction House", but he was indeed uneasy about the sudden appearance of the cobalt gold mine.
Jeremy did not take his words, and he found that the "cobalt gold mine" was not the final product of the auction, because on the last line of the auction catalog, it turned out to be a black pattern marked "unnamed"...
He did not say what this auction item was, but he wrote in small words "to greatly improve the stability of the magic array and the efficiency of energy transmission". Jeremy understood that this was the highlight of Rotika's mouth. He knew it in his mind and looked up and said, "Thank you for the news of the MP Rotika's so well-versed. The 'Crown of the Late Autumn' is about to begin. Barrenner College must be busy, right?"
This is the politeness that brings the relationship closer. Rotika smiled and began to respond. As the dishes were served, the atmosphere of the conversation gradually became warmer.
Rotica sold his favor, so Jeremy was naturally willing to give face. The two talked about the "Crown of the Late Autumn" to the disputes in the country of Esca. Just as the dinner was coming to an end, the MP Rotica finally asked indirectly what he really wanted to exchange for for giving this favor.
"The voyage of the 'Polatini' was quite smooth, but the harvest didn't seem to look very good?"
When Jeremy heard this, she knew that the other party was still worried about what Houdini said. He thought for a while and replied, "You have read that bill, and there is no highlight. The Brenka Academy does not seem to have further negotiations with the messenger of the Karen Kingdom, but at present, it seems that there should be no gains."
Seeing that Rotica was about to speak, he added: "To be honest, Master Houdini disappointed me."
With this sentence, Rotica's purpose of this trip was achieved. A stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, his tense face relaxed a lot, and he changed the subject with a smile...
"If I remember correctly, Lord Speaker is a loyal audience of the 'Durier Round of Island Rally'? I promise this competition will definitely be more exciting than previous ones."
"Oh? Barrenner has developed a new model again? I think your last year's "Bass One" has reached a new peak in terms of driving force and energy consumption. When other academies are still using the magic crystal replacement strategy four times, you can already do it three times. This is an amazing achievement!"
When Jeremy mentioned the "Durir Island Rally", he became interested. Rotica naturally did his homework and began to talk about various strategies of Barrenna in this competition...
The guests and guests had fun at this meal. After the meal, Jeremy left with the auction list with satisfaction, and Rotica also stepped onto the carriage back to the college with a smile.
Lassiman's "cobalt gold mine" is basically monopolized by Barrenner. All "floating" projects are basically controlled by the college. He is also aware of the remaining mining areas with extremely low output. The eight kilograms of "cobalt gold mine" appeared silently at the Nogfog auction, which really caused a gust of panic in the college - but with Jeremy's words today, he basically ruled out Houdini's suspicion.
If it weren't for Houdini, the rest would be easy to discuss.
"Who is it..."
Thinking of these things in his mind, he saw Vice Dean Blass on the training ground, shouting loudly with excitement at the more than 20 mages in front of him.
"What is this for?"
Magister Brass is the teacher with the highest level of "combat training" in the academy and is also the training instructor for the contestants of the "Crown of the Late Autumn" conference. He always looks good on weekdays, and Rotica has hardly seen him get angry. So when he sees him getting angry, Rotica couldn't help but be curious and come over.
"Are you waste? Ah? Even if you have a fever, you can't go up and send it to me so stupidly!"
"What you saw was an ordinary fireball, but have you never thought about why people can smash you to cry with fireballs alone?!"
"The first few are understandable, you! You! You! Tell me what you thought at that time?"
Magister Brass almost poked his finger into the heads of these mages. After a closer look, MP Rotica looked at it and it became a little strange: the young magisters who were slandered by him were all "stars" in the Barrenner Academy, or the "genius boys" with certain prospects in the future.
I usually don’t have time to take care of myself in the college, so why do I scold you so hard today?
"Ahem, Master Brass, please calm down. If you have anything to say, let's say it calmly..."
Rotica knew that these "proud sons of heaven" were all arrogant and arrogant. If they were scolded like this, they might easily develop a rebellious mentality, so they went forward to make things happen. Brass turned around and found that it was him, so he was very proud of him. So he calmed down on the steps and waved his hand to let the mages in front of him disperse:
"Go back and reflect, everyone will write me a report! Just a little bit of it, and you don't know how to die if you die on the battlefield!"
