My Magic Age

Gently pushing open the courtyard door, you can see in the bright moonlight that the paths in the courtyard have been cleaned very clean. There are two rattan lounge chairs, a small round table and a huge parasol on the lawn. The mahogany round table There was a half bottle of leftover golden cider and two empty wine glasses on it. I could even imagine Lady Alia lying lazily on the wicker chair on a sunny afternoon.

There are also some women's dresses hanging on the clothesline on the terrace on the second floor. Those imitation palace-style dresses with lace. The wide and heavy skirts alone must be very troublesome to wash. Standing for Luka Under the pergola, I saw that the lights in the guest rooms on the first floor were still on, with soft lights. From inside, through a layer of gauze curtains in the glass window, I saw Mrs. Alia sitting next to the desk wearing a suspender nightgown. Her long chestnut hair was pulled up high, revealing a slender section of snow-white hair. Neck, her personal maid stood quietly aside, the two seemed to be communicating something.

I heard her say before that she wanted to rent a larger house and move out, but now it seems that she hasn't found a suitable place yet.

Kalancuo was about to open the door, but I quietly interrupted him because I heard a conversation coming from the backyard. Although I couldn't hear it clearly, the familiar accent and the unique way of speaking of northerners were from Ryan. I heard the special sound, and I walked around under the eaves ecstatically, just in time to see Fanny sitting on a chair next to the bush wall in the backyard. She was wearing a black knitted shawl, holding a wine glass in her hand, and resting her head on the chair. Sitting on the backrest, looking up at the night sky.

Lent stood next to the fence under the eaves, leaning on the elm pillars supporting the rainproof eaves at the door. He folded his hands on his chest and said to Fanny: "Tomorrow I will go to the college to inquire about it. I heard that it is good news." Jia’s classmates said that he and several classmates were going somewhere for summer training. Some unexpected events probably delayed the trip. All we can do now is wait patiently! "

Fanny lowered her voice and said, "But tomorrow is the day of the coming-of-age ceremony. As it was clearly stated in the letter, he must be in big trouble. May the goddess bless him!"

Probably because he was afraid of waking up other people, Liant walked behind Fanny, stretched out his arms to hug Fanny hard, and then comforted her: "Don't worry, go to sleep! Maybe when you wake up, he will be there tomorrow morning." Appear in front of you!"

Fanny said stubbornly: "If I can't wait for any news from Jijia, I will go to the Magic Guild and think about whether there is any way. Maybe we can get help from the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Team."

Liant's tone seemed a little helpless, and he said to me: "Don't be delusional, this is almost impossible. Those magicians are more difficult to communicate with than the knights of the guard regiment. They will not pay attention to us, they will only treat us." Get out of the house."

Fanny immediately retorted sharply: "How will you know if it works if you don't try?"

Liant sighed and said to Fanny: "Okay, tomorrow afternoon I will go to the Magic Guild to try my luck and see if I can find out any new information. Oh, by the way, Miss Aaliya said I have found out. News about Scholar Keith, he is currently working at the Imperial Magic Research Institute. I want to see if I can get some news about Jijia from him tomorrow morning. Don’t worry, no news is good news.”

Fanny snorted lightly, she didn't seem to like Mrs. Alia.

Fanny leaned into Lent's ear and said: "That woman is said to be Ann Zimmerman's biological aunt. Lent, do you think how did Jijia get involved with an aristocratic widow? Before, Jijia But he has always been a very honest and good boy. I think this incident is probably because he was shocked!

Liant was slightly embarrassed and covered Fanny's mouth: "Uh... please keep your voice down, Nancy is not asleep yet."

Liante cared so much about the feelings of Nancy and Mrs. Alia, which made Fannie jealous and said: "Liante, I have seen through you, you don't need to accompany me here hypocritically, go away and find you." Nancy, go ahead and leave me alone in the yard for a while."

Although the two people have always had small disputes in their lives over the years, this has not affected the relationship between the two.

Seeing that Fanny and Liante were about to break out into a marital war again, I had no choice but to come on stage early, walk out from the grass on the side of the house, run up to Fanny, half-crouch in front of her knees, and put my hands on each other. Holding Fanny's knees, she said to Fanny with a smile: "Hi, Fanny, long time no see. It's great to see you here. Thank you for coming to my coming-of-age ceremony."

Fanny looked at me with wide eyes, so excited that she could hardly speak. She squeezed my shoulders tightly with both hands, looked at my face carefully, and said, "Oh my god, am I dreaming? "

"No, it's your son Jijia who came back from the Vashj plane." I squatted next to Fanny and told her, then waved to the dumbfounded Ryant next to me, and said to him in a relaxed tone: "...Hi Liente, how is everything at home lately? How is Tracy? How are Nancy and Cindy?"

"Oh, everything is fine at home. It's just that Fanny has been worried about Tracy. Tracy is planning to join an adventure group. Fanny and I don't agree! Cindy is much more sensible than Tracy and is currently studying in Stan As for Nancy..." Liant told me about the situation at home, and then shouted into the room: "Nancy, come out and see who is back!"

Fanny held me tightly in her arms. I seemed to be able to clearly hear her heart beating violently. She had a very familiar smell on her. When I was in Ayr City, every morning she would walk into my room and help me open the curtains to let the first ray of sunlight in. However, as I grew up, Fanny's hugs became less and less.

The door was pushed open, and a woman in a suspender nightgown ran out barefoot. Her long hair was tied up high and scattered casually as she ran. When she saw me leaning on Fanny's arms, her steps stopped abruptly, and her jade-like arms subconsciously protected the exposed snow-white breasts.

The woman stood under the rainproof eaves and stared at me in a daze. It was Lady Alia.

She suddenly woke up from her excitement. She saw Fanny and Ryan in the courtyard. A trace of embarrassment and awkwardness appeared on her face. She lowered her head shyly like a little girl and put her scattered hair behind her ears. The maid followed closely behind Lady Alia, pursed her lips gently, and put a shawl on Lady Alia without saying a word.

At this time, Nancy walked out of the house in a long nightgown. She walked around Alia and stretched out her arms to me. I stood up and hugged her. She stepped back half a step, held my face with her hands, and kissed me hard on the forehead: "Thank you, goddess, you can return safely."

Since marrying Ryan, Nancy has become much younger in the past two years. Her rosy face is full of happiness, which makes her more beautiful. No wonder Fanny secretly complained about this.

Fanny glanced behind me. Kalancuo, Katarina, Justus and Minotaur Luka were standing quietly on the lawn. Minotaur Luka politely greeted Fanny and Ryant: "Ms. Fanny, Mr. Ryant, good evening!"

"Luka, you seem to have grown taller and stronger!" Fanny had a good influence on Luka and said to him in a friendly manner.

"Jijia, are these your friends?"

"Oh, she is my follower, Kalancuo." I introduced Kalancuo to Fanny.

"She is Katarina, my..." I didn't know how to introduce Katarina, so I paused for a while. Fanny, Ryant and Nancy showed understanding on their faces. They looked at Katarina more carefully. Katarina was the kind of girl with red hair tied simply behind her head and a simple long dress. She looked quiet and gentle, which just met Fanny's basic requirements for girls. It's a pity that Tracy has never been able to do this.

Perhaps because she felt that she was much older than me, Fanny looked confused and pulled me aside and asked me in a low voice: "Are you influenced by us and like girls older than you?"

"No..." I didn't know what to say, so I introduced Justus to them, saying that he was a friend I met outside of Vashj and wanted to travel around the entire Roland Continent with me.

Justus was wearing traditional Vashj plane clothing, a black tuxedo on the upper body, straight trousers on the lower body, and pointed leather shoes made of sea beast skin that were polished to a shine. He looked aristocratic, except that there was no noble badge on his chest, he looked like a down-and-out noble from the countryside.

Ryan looked at Catalina, then at Lady Alia who was standing awkwardly at the door of the house, and consciously avoided Lady Alia. His eyes fell on the sword-breaker dagger on Catalina's waist, and then he asked Catalina, "Are you an assassin?"

Since Catalina had the magic pattern of the snake's fang, she became an assassin. The snake's fang gave her the skill of "hiding", and her best "flash" can only be regarded as her racial talent. In fact, after Catalina joined the army, she was an assassin specializing in sword and dagger weapons in the Trum stronghold.

"Yes, Mr. Ryan." Catalina replied.

Ryan nodded slightly. He probably felt the murderous aura of Catalina and Kalancuo. He just glanced at Kalancuo and stopped talking.

Of course, I had to bite the bullet and walk to Lady Alia. I was a little worried about how to resolve such an awkward situation. There is a kind of hand-kissing etiquette between noble friends. I originally extended my hand to hold her hand and kiss her politely, so that I could show Ryant and Fanny that we were good friends.

But I didn't expect that when I just extended my hand, Lady Alia's face turned slightly red. She didn't hand it over, but directly opened her arms and threw herself into my arms very naturally. Her hands passed through my armpits, hugged my back tightly, and put her head on my shoulder.

"I thought you couldn't make it back..."

"..."

The atmosphere outside the house was extremely quiet at this moment. Fortunately, this awkward situation did not last too long. Lady Alia quickly adjusted her mood. We all walked into the house together. Fanny asked me to sit on the sofa in the living room. She and Ryant had a lot to say to me.

Minotaur Lu naturally did not follow in, but Kalancuo and Justus sat down with me in the living room.

Mrs. Alia also went straight back to her guest room. Ryan asked Nancy to go to the kitchen to get us some drinks. She obeyed Ryan's words, nodded gently, pulled the loose shoulder straps on her nightgown, and walked into the kitchen slowly.

Catalina also got up and followed. She was familiar with this house and the kitchen in it better than anyone except little Ella.

The decoration style of this house is very stylish. The owner of the house unified the decoration styles of the living room and kitchen. Moreover, the living room and kitchen are basically separated by three columns. Fanny and Liant saw that Catalina was very familiar with it. All the furnishings in the kitchen naturally confirmed the previous guesses. They probably determined that my taste is to like older women. They looked at me helplessly, but in front of so many people, they couldn't talk to me. After talking deeply, I can only swallow those words back in my stomach.

I briefly talked about the process of training on the Vashj plane. Although I said it lightly, when Fanny and Liant knew that I participated in the plane war, even though they knew that I was sitting in front of them, Still, every time he talks about something thrilling, he holds his breath and looks nervous.

"...Anyway, I finally came back as scheduled." I took a long breath, and then said: "To be honest, just a day ago, I never thought that I would be able to sit at home here in the Imperial Capital tonight. . But when did you arrive at the Imperial Capital and how did you find it?"

For Liant and Fanny, the Imperial Capital is too big. The farthest place they have ever been is Slot City, and the Imperial Capital is seven times as big as Slot City, and one block is equivalent to ten It is as big as three El cities. Even if I left them a detailed address, it would not be easy to find this place.

Hearing my question, Fanny glared at me fiercely. I was a little confused, so I heard Liant say: "This time, Demi and Ann happened to come to the imperial capital from El City. Miss Aaliya had already arrived." We sent someone to wait at the airport, so we went directly here.”

"...Oh." I was trying to explain.

But I saw Fanny looking at the clock in the corner, and then waved to me and said, "I don't want to listen to your reasons and explanations now. It's very late now. You have to have a good rest first. You have to attend the coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow." , wash up early and go to bed."

As she said that, she pointed upstairs. Looking at Fanny's expression, she was probably worried that I would accidentally get into Mrs. Alia's room, implying that I would stay in the attic on the top floor at night.

At this time, Kalancso also stretched and stood up. Seeing that little Ella's room was still empty, he asked Katarina if she wanted to sleep with her.

Facing my family, Catalina happened to be a little at a loss. Seeing Kalancso say this, she winked at me secretly, then abandoned me and followed Kalantso into little Ella's room. .
