"I have to practice how to carve magic into the stone, and I'll need to get well-acquainted with my 'new partner'."
Aurora touched her left eye, which was covered by an eye patch; the new partner she mentioned naturally referred to it. Being able to see the magic circuits with her own eyes was definitely more accurate than just relying on her brain to fill in the gaps and calculate.
"Go ahead and do it with confidence, there's plenty of funding!"
Aurora shook the check given by Iris; the string of zeros on it included the deposit and their development funds.
Having a client who didn't mind that they were children and was not stingy with investment really warmed the ponies' hearts. Thinking about it carefully, even the raw material supplier was a partnership facilitated by a pony who was still in school.
The flowers of the motherland are truly powerful!
"No problem, I'll definitely get this job done well for you, 'Boss'."
Sunset Shimmer said half-jokingly. She hadn't expected that following Aurora would actually allow her to earn quite a bit of pocket money.
"Guarantee to complete the mission, 'Boss'!"
Twilight Sparkle also joined in the fun, but in her heart, she had long since accepted Aurora's status as the Idea Queen.
"Boss!"
Spike followed suit, but his slurred accent caused a slip of the tongue that really made Aurora unable to laugh.
"Alright, then let's get to work!"
Aurora hung up a sign written in Chinese characters that said "Auspicious Start to Work," announcing the official launch of the project.
Because the parts Aurora was mainly responsible for were in the middle and later stages, she finished handing over the task arrangements to them, and for the rest, Aurora didn't need to worry for the time being.
Also because she didn't participate much in the early stages of the project, she could take advantage of the free time to handle other matters.
To avoid disturbing them, Aurora found another place to first make a to-do list, listing some of the work that needed to be handled externally.
For example, writing a letter to her father to find a lawyer to handle the patent application, and by the way, helping her find a non-Unicorn craftsman to help her craft the glasses. After all, the lenses were quite special and couldn't be modified with magic, so a craftsman needed to do it by hand.
And now there was only one such lens; if it were broken, Aurora would definitely explode at the other party.
In addition, she also needed to write back to Iris to notify her, preferably making an appointment to meet her and discuss the deepening of subsequent cooperation in person.
Because Aurora was not very familiar with the business here in Equestria, she would still have to ask her father to lend her a consultant to help check things over when the time came.
And if they were to mass-market the magic fitting mirror later, they would also need to hand the business over to Aster; he was the professional when it came to doing business.
Aurora had originally proposed this project because it was related to magic; the subsequent commercialization was not within her range of interest, and she didn't have time to continue doing it. It was better to hand it over entirely to Aster, while she just needed to study magic and collect money.
Daddy is so good.
Having organized such a to-do list, Aurora checked to see if there was anything she had missed.
Aurora thought for a moment and added Celestia's name to it.
She was their teacher, and the three of them had put together such a big project, so Aurora felt it was necessary to notify Celestia as well. After the first prototype was produced, it would also need to be sent to The Grand Princess for review.
The laws related to magic items in Equestria were written rather vaguely, and the supervision was not very strict; otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for the future Trixie to find such an artifact as the alicorn amulet in an antique shop.
Speaking of this alicorn amulet, Aurora remembered that Trixie bought it at an antique shop in Central City. It was just that Aurora had browsed through all the antique shops and second-hand markets in Canterlot, and she hadn't seen any trace of the alicorn amulet at all.
It seems that the luck of ponies cannot be generalized.
The owner of that antique shop seemed to be dressed like a pony from the East; perhaps they hadn't come to Canterlot to open a shop at this time.
In any case, being able to have Celestia help them check things over would give them some peace of mind. After all, they were three fledgling Foals, and this was their first formal attempt at making a magic item; being able to get guidance from Celestia would naturally be excellent.
Don't look at Celestia as a naughty princess; she was capable of making an amulet that could control the rising and setting of the sun and moon together with Princess Luna.
However, that thing actually broke after Twilight Sparkle twisted it a few times; who exactly passed the quality inspection for that?
The princess passed it herself? Then it's fine.
Aurora frowned, and she couldn't help but hesitate inwardly: Do they really want to let Celestia help them check it?
