My Magic Age

Chapter 1019 120. Chivalry

In the municipal square, the dazzling sunlight made me feel a little blinded. I looked up at the lion eagle knight who had turned into a black dot in the sky. I was still frightened by the flight journey just now, but the young people in the square who were preparing to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony did not think so. Several brave noble boys came over and asked me curiously: What kind of mood and feeling did you have when you sat on the back of the lion eagle just now.

I scratched my head, thought about it carefully, and then said: "The flying speed is okay, but the lion eagle is very unfriendly. I feel like he always wants to peck me."

The noble boy laughed heartily when he heard me say so cowardly, and said: "Haha, those big guys are usually like that. Only knights who have signed a magic contract with them can approach them. I have long wanted to sit on the back of the lion eagle and take a circle in the sky above the imperial capital, but unfortunately I have never had this opportunity."

A group of young nobles surrounded him, looking like a small circle, probably graduates of a junior college.

As for what the noble boy said, whether he didn't find a chance to ride it or didn't have the courage to approach the Royal Lion Eagle, I think the real answer is the latter.

The Royal Lion Eagle is a domesticated flying monster unique to the Green Empire. It is a hybrid of a white eagle and a scorpion lion. It has the head and wings of an eagle, the body, tail and claws of a lion, the feathers on its head are grayish white, the wings are a little yellow, and its body is as majestic as a lion. Its wingspan is about ten meters, and its flying speed is also very fast. Although it is a domesticated monster, it still reveals the wildness hidden in its body to strangers.

I remember that I was curious when I sat on the back of the Lion Eagle and asked the Royal Lion Eagle Knight: 'Will all the young men who failed to make it to the coming-of-age ceremony, the Lion Eagle Knights, who are known as the Royal Sky Guard, give free help? ’

The Lion Eagle Knight smiled and said to me: ‘Of course not. ’

The Royal Lion Eagle circled in the air for a short time, pointed at the crowd surging like a wave on the street, and said to me: ‘There are so many people, we can’t help them all. ’

I asked him: ‘Then why did you help me? ’

The Royal Lion Eagle Knight said straight to the point: ‘That’s because of your noble status. The medal on your chest shows that you can enjoy many privileges, but how come I have never seen you before, which family are you from? ’

I sighed secretly, this is really a world where only nobles have privileges.

But the Lion Eagle Knight asked me which wealthy family I was from, and I didn’t understand why he asked so confidently.

So I said to him: ‘Why do you ask that? Can’t I be a child from an ordinary family? ’

The Lion Eagle Knight laughed and said, ‘Don’t joke. How can a boy who can afford to wear a magic pattern structure to attend the coming-of-age ceremony have an ordinary background? When I attended the coming-of-age ceremony, I didn’t wear as much as you! Young people nowadays…’

Standing in the Municipal Square, the sigh of the Lion Eagle Knight still echoed in my ears.

The Lion Eagle Knight thought that I had such courage in the face of the Lion Eagle, and it was very likely that I would become his colleague in the future. Before leaving, he told me that he looked forward to seeing me again in the Royal Lion Eagle Knights.

I later learned that every year in the imperial capital, there are teenagers who cannot arrive at the Municipal Square on time for various reasons to take the oath. Even if there are ten times more manpower than the Knights, I am afraid that it is impossible to send all the late teenagers to the Municipal Square. I am the lucky one among these people.

The young men and women waiting to take the oath in the square gathered in groups of three or four to chat. Everyone had their own small circle. They were people of the same age. They were either friends or classmates from the same academy. They were dressed in festive costumes. Many young people wore dresses and formal clothes. Some wore brand new thorn-tailed crystal lion leather armor or chain mail, which were the costumes of warriors. They wore exquisite weapons that were more decorative than practical. Such costumes were in sharp contrast with the gorgeous dresses.

A group of young men and women wearing magic robes occupied one corner of the square. They were all young magicians who had awakened the magic pool. They should have just graduated from the primary magic academy. Some young people wore Misori magic robes or knowledge magic robes, which meant that they had successfully become formal magicians. There were also some young people wearing dedication magic robes. It can only be said that even if they had graduated from the primary magic academy, they might still be magic apprentices.

There were also two large circles clearly formed in the square, that is, the civilian teenagers and the noble teenagers were incompatible. The civilian teenagers were dressed a little more simply and did not wear any badges on their chests. As for the young men from noble families, their clothes looked much more gorgeous. There was a clear dividing line between the two circles even if they were standing in the square.

I was wearing a gorgeous magic pattern costume and was quickly classified into the circle of noble young men, but I didn't know anyone here.

I studied magic for three years at the War Academy in El City, and under the recommendation of Teacher Heidi, I came to the Imperial Capital Royal Magic Academy to study magic knowledge, so that all the classmates around me were one year older than me. Almost like Noah, they all participated in the coming-of-age ceremony last year. So I looked so lonely standing in the square.

The annual coming-of-age ceremony is mainly divided into three stages. The first stage is the oath of adulthood, the second stage is the blessing of the goddess, and the third stage is the celebration dance, which is the most important part of the entire celebration.

In previous years, the coming-of-age ceremony would take place in the square in front of the temple and take the oath, then receive blessings from the great priests in the temple, and finally return to the squares in each neighborhood to hold grand open-air dances.

Of course, the way this year's coming-of-age ceremony was held was different from the past. The oath-taking ceremony under the Statue of Liberty in front of the Temple Square was changed to the oath-taking ceremony in front of the Municipal Plaza.

I think the reason for this is because in this plane war, the temple did not send priests and priests to participate in the war. It was an extreme way for the royal family and the ruling class in various places to express their strong dissatisfaction with the temple.

If this group of young people can swear an oath under the solemn Statue of Liberty, it will plant a seed of faith in the hearts of these young people, which will be of great help to the apostles of the Statue of Liberty in spreading their faith in the Green Empire. But if this coming-of-age ceremony was sworn in front of the municipal square, then the rulers deliberately let these young people deepen their subjective understanding of the entire empire, and instead diluted the status of theocracy in the hearts of the younger generation.

From a distance, I saw Ying Li wearing a pure white knowledge magic robe, standing slim in the corner of the square, surrounded by a group of young magicians, who seemed to be discussing some topic enthusiastically. Ying Li saw that I saw her, so he smiled and waved to me.

Except for Ying Li, I didn’t know any of the young people here, so I walked straight towards Ying Li.

The young noble kindly reminded me: "Hey, that's the gathering area for magicians. They don't welcome us. Let's just wait there. The celebration will start soon."

I nodded to him gratefully for his kind reminder.

Then he came over and asked me tentatively: "By the way, I don't know what your profession is. Warrior? Knight? Or assassin?"

I pointed to my nose and asked him, "Me?"

He nodded and said to me: "Well, which college are you from? Your magic pattern outfit is so cool! Look, there are no scratches on the leather. Is it a brand new set? Did your family buy it for you? ?”

"I am not a warrior, I am a water magician. As for this set of magic patterns, it was given by a person who is also a teacher and a friend." After saying this, I took out a magic weapon from my magic pocket. He hung a Royal Academy of Magic badge on his chest, waved to him, and walked straight towards Ying Li.

The aristocratic boy was left looking at me blankly with a confused look on his face. I guess the words "I am a magician", "I am a magician" and "I am a magician" must be lingering in his mind at this moment...

Walking to Ying Li's side, I secretly observed Ying Li's face. She stood in the crowd with a demure look on her face, like a pretty lily blooming secretly with her beauty.

She walked out of the crowd and stood in front of me. She pursed her lips, looked at me with a smile and said, "Are you still late?"

I said to Ying Li distressedly: "The streets in the entire city are crowded with people, and the streets are jammed with carriages. There is no way to pass. If I had known that the festival celebrations would completely paralyze the traffic in the imperial capital, I would have Went out a little early.”

Ying Li squinted his eyes, a pear dimple appeared on his face, and asked me in a low voice: "Hey, Jijia, how does it feel to fly here on a gryphon?"

I leaned close to Ying Li's ear and whispered to her: "Why do you all have to ask such a question? I didn't feel any difference sitting on the Griffin! Oh, by the way, you and Qige didn't fight after I left. Get up?"

She covered her mouth and smiled and said: "You think we can fight? But why should we fight?"

I immediately realized that opening this topic was a very wrong thing, so I immediately changed my question and asked Ying Li: "By the way, why aren't Helena and Becky here?"

I think Ying Li's magic robe looks beautiful on her. She actually wears a knowledge magic robe like a palace evening dress.

When Ying Li heard my question, he looked at me with obvious surprise and said to me, "Ah, you don't even know how old they are?"

I shook my head and nodded again.

Ying Li said to me with a smile: "You really lack communication with the two of them. They are one year older than me and they attended the coming-of-age ceremony at this time last year."

After saying that, she pointed to the right side of the square. I turned around and saw Qige, Le Die, Helena, and Becky standing together. In the most obvious position, there was an arrogant person standing. Madam Manda is indifferent and never seems to smile. The arrogant character and stunning beauty of elf women are fully displayed in her body.

Time cannot leave even the slightest trace on this elf princess. She was looking towards us coldly at this moment. When she realized that I had seen her, she turned her head to the side with a cold expression. It seems she still doesn't like me very much.

I sighed slightly, and I didn’t know when Mrs. Manda would change her mind. Maybe I should become a better person.

I asked Ying Li: "How did you get here? If you take the magic caravan, won't there be traffic jams?"

Ying Li seemed to be in a good mood. When she saw that I was still struggling with this, she couldn't help but smile, like a lily that suddenly bloomed.

Ying Li said to me: "You don't know that there is a road leading to the municipal square that has been under martial law for a long time. This is specially for the nobles' magic caravans to pass. We came all the way from that road, and naturally it was unimpeded."

I exclaimed: "Oh, it's the privilege of the aristocracy again, so that's it!"

In fact, until now I still have no way to understand what kind of magic the "soul contract" is. To say that Ying Li, Helena and Becky have become one, but Helena and Becky have independent subjective consciousness, and their hearts are connected to each other. Apart from that, I haven't found anything special. I always feel that such a rare "soul contract" should not be limited to this.

The group of friends around Ying Li realized at this time that Ying Li had left their small group unconsciously and was chatting happily with me, so everyone came to us. It was not the first time I met them, or it can be said that when these people saw me, there was no strange expression on their faces. Obviously, they knew I existed.

For their greetings, no matter what the purpose was, I responded with a smile and politely.

Young magicians gathered together. Even though they were all the pride of the Green Empire, the topic of their conversation was always about their experiences during the holidays. Everyone was curious about each other's summer vacation and what interesting stories happened.

Some people also looked at me, probably because they were curious about why magicians wore magic pattern suits, but because they were not very familiar with me, they refrained from asking.

At this time, a loud voice came from under the giant sculpture in the Municipal Square, as if some magic loudspeaker was transmitting the sound to every corner of the square: "Everyone, please keep quiet. All young people present, please pay attention! Please line up. I believe that the self-discipline of young people in your world is better than that of the upper world. Each person should be four feet apart. Hurry up, kids!"

So we followed the instructions of the voice and began to line up quickly. Ying Li and I stood in the group of magicians one after the other.

After a short period of chaos, everyone finally found their positions. We stood in a row of squares and neatly stood in the square, just like doing morning exercises in the academy.

That resounding voice sounded again: "Well done, now I declare that the Coming of Age Ceremony Oath Ceremony begins!"

"Please read the 'Coming of Age Oath' with me!
