My Magic Age

The caravan traveled eastward along the New Siachis Mountains for 17 months. Looking east, we could no longer see the rolling black mountains in the distance.

According to Leipas, if we go over that mountain, our caravan will completely leave the dwarf kingdom's territory and enter the Pai Plateau. The trade certificate that our caravan applied for from King Stan, one of the seven kings of the dwarves, will become useless and no different from ordinary magic parchment.

I heard that there are thousands of orc tribes of all sizes here. These ancient tribes inherit the power of their ancestors. In recent days, there have been fewer jokes in the caravan. It can be seen that everyone is a little worried about the orc tribes and those gray dwarf bandits waiting for us ahead.

Each thunder rhino drags thousands of pounds of fine iron ingots on its huge body like a hill. A driver sits on the soft seat at the back of the thunder rhino, and two deputies sit on the top of the back, responsible for managing the huge cargo on the rhino and simple lookout and alert.

These are all the properties managed by Leipas. The huge caravan of seventy thunder rhinos stretches for two kilometers.

The dwarves in the tribe are all born excellent blacksmiths, but the style of armor and weapons they make is very different from human preferences. Because the dwarves are born with brute force, those heavy armor and exquisite shields as big as door panels are not very popular among humans. They are too heavy, so excellent metal materials are hard currency.

There are more than 20 most cold-resistant Boragu horses at the front of the caravan. They are two groups of adventurers. Among them are warriors, swordsmen, archers and mysterious magicians. They follow us to cross the New Xiachis Mountains.

I heard that they hunted monsters in the monster forest on the edge of the mountains, obtained some magic materials and transported them back to the human world for sale. Anyway, Kuz secretly told me that they are a group of dangerous people, don't mess with them.

They enjoy the transportation capacity of the caravan. Leipas promised to transport some of their goods to the imperial capital for free, and these adventure groups are responsible for protecting the safety of the entire caravan.

There are 13 huge black iron carriages behind the Thunder Rhino Cargo Team. Each carriage is like a small house. The axles of these well-made carriages are engraved with complex wind magic arrays. Even so, each carriage needs to be pulled by four wild bulls with wild bull bloodlines. Each of these wild bulls can easily pull 5,000 kilograms of goods.

Don't think that there are some nobles in the car. On the contrary, this is just a dance troupe from the capital of the human Green Empire. Three years ago, they were invited by the Dwarf King to attend the memorial celebration in the Dwarf King's capital. This is on the way back after attending the celebration.

In a huge dance troupe with more than 300 people, there are 180 dancers alone, and the rest are cooks, tailors, musicians, waiters, magic artists, etc. I heard that such a dance troupe is not the largest dance troupe in the Green Empire. My God! I never thought that someone would be willing to spend 5 or 6 years on the journey just to attend the celebration of a certain country.

Later, I learned from Leipas that there was a kind of transportation called magic spaceship. Leipas described its appearance as more like an airship, but it was a huge one that could carry hundreds of people.

The route from Stan City to Green Imperial City had been opened long ago, but this time the dance troupe went east along the New Siachis Mountains by land to collect folk songs on the Pai Plateau and learn the sacrificial war dance of the orc tribe. Maybe some tribes close to humans would communicate with them.

In September, the warm monsoon from the Endless Sea brought a lot of rain, making the dwarf land on the west side of the Roland Continent full of vitality, the ice and snow melted, and all things grew.

The warm wind was like a mother's hand gently brushing across my cheek. I excitedly took off the sheepskin coat that had been worn for a whole winter and had a salty fish smell. I jumped off the back of the more than 7-meter-high Thunder Rhino with my bare arms like Kuz, and rolled a few somersaults in the tender green grass, just like a silver carp jumping into the lake.

The clear lake water wrapped my body. I used the power of the fish jump to dive a few meters in the lake, and then used my hands to push the lake water to push my body further.

My hot body was immersed in the cold lake water, and every cell in my body was greedily absorbing water. After I exhaled my last breath, I finally got out of the water. A few meters away from me, there was a floating ice the size of a round table. Kuz was holding the edge of the floating ice, and suddenly jumped up. He sat on the floating ice with his whole body wet, grinning at me.

He waved to me and shouted in the not-so-fluent Imperial language: "Ji Jia, climb up quickly, this piece of ice is interesting!"

When you see the floating ice in the lake, you will know how cold this ice lake is in early spring.

I can't help but admire the boy from the orc tribe for his strong body, which makes me only envious. The reason I dared to jump into the lake with floating ice was because of the fire poison in my blood, which was constantly burning my body every day. I could even clearly feel the blazing fire quickly carbonizing my flesh and blood, but at the same time, my blood had a wonderful regenerative power to repair my entire body, constantly carbonizing and regenerating. At first, I didn’t even think I was a person, but a piece of fried meat with thoughts.

Only by soaking in such cold lake water can I feel a little cool in my body.

I think I must have eaten too much barbecue in my previous life, and I have to suffer this in this life, and it tortures me every day and every moment, making me endure such pain.

The fire poison devours every cell in my body all the time, turning them into ashes and flowing out of the body through sweat. After each cell in the body collapses, I don't know why it will instantly split into new ones. Sometimes I wonder if I have the blood of the werewolf of the orcs?

The only pharmacist in the team is an old orc. Old Kuru always brags to me how strong he was when he was young. Kuz, that kid, is not even one-tenth of him. Now his shriveled body has little strength. Sometimes he is even too lazy to take the medicine jar and always calls me here and there.

Well, that's right! I am the smallest handyman in the whole caravan. I can do anything, run errands, pass messages, clean horse manure, wash leather shoes, boil water, dig wild vegetables. As long as I can do it and those people can think of it, I must do it if I still want to get half a piece of black bread every night.

I remember that old Kuru told me that I was picked up by him on the edge of the Burning Mountains far west of the Dwarf King's Capital.

He guessed that I had eaten too many fruits from the Burning Fruit Tree, which was why there was a strong fire element in my blood. At that time, I was already unconscious from the burns. He didn't want to save me. According to experience, no human, orc or dwarf has ever survived after eating the Burning Fruit.

This fruit is also called the Purification Fruit. It is for the dead. After eating the Burning Fruit, the dying person will die and the whole body will be turned into ashes. It is said that the Burning Fruit core will even grow a spiritual fire that can burn the soul, purify the soul, and ascend to the Kingdom of God.

I believe what Old Kuru said, because I entered this body after the original host's soul was purified. But I don't know whether the original host's soul ascended to the Kingdom of God. I think it is more likely to be reduced to ashes.

Until now, I can still clearly remember that before I fell into a coma, I was a chef in a big hotel, good at cold dishes and carving radish flowers. On the way home from vacation, I encountered a robbery and was stabbed in the heart by the car thief. I remember that an invisible big hand pulled my soul out of that body. I saw the unwillingness on my pale face of fear, anger, and even I knew that my original body was gradually getting cold. I thought I was dead.

Unexpectedly, after waking up, I found myself turned into a 5-year-old child on fire. Every inch of skin, flesh, and bone on my body squeaked in the heat, like a piece of fried beef. In the process that could make people faint from the pain and wake up from the coma, an old orc put his shriveled arm above my head and cut my wrist with a small black curved knife. The dark purple blood flowed all over me, and most of it was poured into my mouth.

Later, miraculously, I survived. That old orc was Kuru. He said that I might be the child of a traveler in a tour group. Before I died, I swallowed the Burning Fruit according to tradition and waited for my body to turn into ashes and my soul to ascend to heaven. However, after eating the Burning Fruit, the power of the fire element stimulated the power of my family bloodline in my body. My bloodline was awakened and I had a real name: Blue Flame.

Although the flame power of the Burning Fruit made me feel miserable, it was not enough to burn me to death.

As for why my soul was not purified by the fire of the soul, maybe the Burning Fruit was not fully mature yet.

My name is Jijia Blue Flame. If there is another awakening of the real name in the future, it will be added again.

My real name bloodline power was still very weak after awakening, and it could not resist the flame power of the Burning Fruit at all. It was Old Kuru who saved me with his orc race's life essence blood. That blood has the powerful recovery and regeneration ability of the orc wolf race. Old Kuru found that I had awakened the bloodline power and saved me with the purpose of giving it a try.

He told me nonchalantly that I was just lucky and was a child favored by the Beast God King, otherwise I would not have survived and absorbed the self-healing ability of his blood. But the feeling of being burned by fire every day was really worse than death.

During that time, if I had the ability to kill myself, I would definitely kill myself without hesitation, because I thought that even hell was nothing more than this. I lay on the back of the Thunder Rhino for more than 4 months, and every day Old Kuru would find various herbal juices to pour into my body.

During those days, my blood power had another name "self-healing", which almost shocked Old Kuru. You know, this is almost the ability that the orc wolf warriors dream of. Only the wolf who awakened the "self-healing" ability in their blood can be considered a true orc wolf warrior.

After my body was destroyed and regenerated, I repeated it hundreds and thousands of times. My weak body slowly began to be able to withstand the burning of those flames. This shows that I was born with fire resistance. Gradually, the burning pain slowly eased. I found that there was always a ball of fire in my abdomen. These fires would flow through my blood to my whole body, constantly destroying my body, and the vigorous power of fire would radiate from my limbs.

In the nearly two years since I came to this magical world, Leipas would take time to teach me some imperial language every day, but the progress was not fast.

Old Kuru sometimes even told Leipas that I should actually be an orc child who looks like a human, because my orc language is more fluent. According to the human age in this world, I am only 7 years old.

I gradually began to integrate into this caravan.

Leipas is the leader of our caravan. In fact, he is also the steward of the United Chamber of Commerce. His creed is never to support idle people. Everyone in the caravan must show their own value. The same is true for me. I will never be treated preferentially just because I am a child.

A group of thunder rhinos drinking water gathered by the lake. The drivers drove the docile thunder rhinos to the grass by the lake in order, ordered the rhinos to lie down one by one, unloaded the heavy goods, and piled them neatly on one side. The thunder rhinos will be arranged to drink water first, and then driven to the pasture by the best herders to eat grass.

I think these rhinos with fleshy long tails are more like the stegosaurus among the dinosaurs in my original world. At this time, Fred, the deputy riding on the Thunder Rhino, shouted to me: "Giga, stop playing, be careful of Master Leipas's whip, and quickly brush these leather saddles clean and dry them while the weather is good."

I waved my hands in the lake, poked my head out of the water and said: "Got it, Fred."

This was originally his job, and sometimes he would let me do it.

Kuz sat on the ice and glared at Fred, and whispered to me in the Orc language: "Fred must be going to mess around with his little dancer again, Giga, don't help him."

"It's okay, it's not too hard work, doesn't the Orc slang say: Don't you think it's a blessing to suffer a loss?" I swam and replied in the Orc language. This job of brushing the leather saddle bit is actually not in vain. I should get Fred's broth in the evening.

This ice lake is still a little too cold. I felt a little cold after soaking in the lake water for a short while. It's better to go ashore and brush the saddle.

Looking at the big guy that could almost crush me into a meat patty with one kick, I secretly took a deep breath and swam hard to the shore. My work began.
