My Magic Age

The wedding dinner was held in the restaurant of the manor. Arent invited the five most famous chefs in El City to carefully cook five of their best dishes for us. The waiters lined up to serve the exquisite plates. The dishes were served in turn.

The wooden lids of barrels of golden cider were smashed open, and the overflowing aroma of wine and fragrant barbecue were the main theme of tonight's banquet. It is worth mentioning that the last dessert served was a hot drink, which is very suitable for the taste of northerners. .

As the music sounded, Ellente and Tracy danced the first piece of the ball, and then Viscount Frank and Lady Ethel stepped onto the dance floor, as well as Lente and Fanny, and then the entire dance floor suddenly It was packed with people.

Life in Ayr City in winter is extremely monotonous. People are eager to have some happy things. Wedding dinners and dances are undoubtedly the activities that best meet the inner needs of the people in Ayr City. Everyone gathers together to talk, drink and dance, just like... The Time Assassin steals time quietly.

Bobby, Marvin, Noah, and senior Benjamin and I were sitting together drinking and chatting. Probably because they saw us wearing magic robes, some young girls from the Ellente family hesitated for a long time and frequently looked at us. Give them a warm look, that look seems to suggest that we can invite them to dance.

Senior Benjamin picked up his wine glass and said to us: "Speaking of it, this is really a year worthy of being recorded in history. All the barbarians who crossed the Galloping Horse River and entered Sloit Province were driven back to the ice and snow tundra by the North Wind Army. As a result, the falcons ended their hunting activities early. I propose that we all drink together for this.”

The golden cider prepared at the banquet is aged for more than five years. Although it does not have the unique sourness of the golden cider brewed at Zimmerman Manor, it is still a good quality wine. Following the suggestion of senior Benjamin, we all Had a drink.

People in the north drink very boldly. A glass of wine is rarely drunk in two times, and everyone at the banquet will have a wine glass in front of them.

Noah was also infected by the warm atmosphere here, and he had just drank a little too much. He was drunk and said with emotion to Senior Benjamin: "Ha! I followed Jijia's Falcon Team to hunt savages outside. Although it is very exciting, the weather here is really cold! I have to sleep in a tent in an icy and snowy environment every day. When I wake up every morning, when I get out of my sleeping bag, there will be a layer of white frost hanging on my mouth, which makes me feel uncomfortable. It’s like a piece of frozen meat!”

Senior Benjamin said with a surprised face: "Why, Mr. Noah the Magician also went to the countryside to experience the life of falcons?"

Noah chuckled and said, "Yes, when I was in the imperial capital, I often heard Jijia talk about hunting barbarians in the north. I finally got this opportunity, so I wanted to come over and give it a try."

After drinking a glass of wine, the two people who were not very familiar with each other started to talk about it.

Senior Benjamin asked Noah: "By the way, has Master Noah seen Jijia's ice magic trap? Jijia is a very famous falcon in El City. The freezing magic trap he invented is in The falcons of El City are very famous in the circle, and winter is the best-selling season for magic scrolls in El City.”

In order to sell more ‘Frost Scrolls’ and ‘Frost Nova Scrolls’, Marvin and I have spent a lot of time promoting ice magic traps in the past few years.

It is precisely for this reason that many junior magicians have received invitation letters from the veteran Falcon team, just to have someone in the team who can release ice magic scrolls.

And these ice magic traps also played some role in the process of hunting barbarians. Just using ice magic scrolls to hunt once, no matter how the expenditure is reduced, it is a huge expense for the Falcon team. Only people like Senior Benjamin who don't care much about money are more interested in ice magic traps.

Everyone turned their attention to Marvin, who shrugged his shoulders and said speechlessly: "After Jijia went to the Imperial Capital, the magic grocery store stopped selling ice magic scrolls. The main reason is because Jijia The number of magic scrolls sent back from the imperial capital each time is much less than before, and the supply of other supplies is not stable. "

Marvin seemed to have thought of something. He slapped his forehead and asked me, "By the way, Jijia, have you taken the inscriptionist qualification exam?"

I replied: "I participated."

Marvin quickly asked me: "What was the result? Did you pass it?"

I smiled and said: "Of course, how could this junior inscriptionist exam be difficult for me."

Marwen knew that I had a solid foundation in making magic scrolls, and he also knew that I had shortcomings in inscription design, so he just asked casually. He didn't expect that I had become a junior inscription master. The wine glass he was holding shook violently. , golden apple cider was spilled on the chest.

Senior Benjamin grabbed my arm and asked me, "Ah! So you are already a junior inscriptionist?"

There are only three inscription masters in El City. These three inscription masters usually repair damaged magic pattern structures and are already very busy. Basically, they only receive one or two orders for magic pattern structures a month, and the specific delivery date is It also depends on my mood. Now, when I heard that I actually passed the qualification examination for junior inscription master, I was naturally extremely excited.

"Yes!" I said to Senior Benjamin: "I have been learning how to make magic patterns from Scholar Yerkes recently."

Although Senior Benjamin wanted to ask me to help him draw a set of magic patterns, he still swallowed the words in his stomach, just raised his glass and said: "Let's do it for the newly promoted junior inscriptionist Ji Chia, let’s all drink together!”

We all raised our glasses together and said: "Cheers!"

After drinking this glass of wine, I quietly pulled Senior Benjamin's arm and whispered to him: "In three days, there will be a magic airship flying from El City to the Imperial Capital. Before that, you want me to help you draw it." If you want to build a magic pattern, come to my house with your magic leather armor."

Benjamin's eyes lit up when he heard what I said, and he asked me, "Did you draw the double-headed basilisk leather armor with magic patterns that Tracy wore today?"

I nodded.

He rubbed his hands excitedly, struggled a little, and then made up his mind and said to me: "Okay, I will wear the same one as Tracy!"

I nodded again.

There are some things that even Senior Benjamin knows even if I don’t tell him. The reason why I took the initiative to help him draw the magic pattern structure was not for the magic crystals. I mainly wanted him to help me take care of Liante and Fen who live in El City. Ni.

And senior Benjamin readily agreed and made this promise to me clearly.

Looking at Tracy, who was holding a wine glass and toasting with Ellente in the crowd, I breathed out softly and thought: With the help of senior Benjamin, Ellente’s career in the Knights of the Guard Camp will be better. It will probably be smooth sailing!

…

After the wedding dance, we did not rush to go home. Instead, we took Senior Benjamin’s magic caravan to the Three Cats Tavern. A group of us gathered around a wooden table in the corner and continued drinking.

A beautiful young waitress in the tavern brought us a large glass of golden cider, and a dozen empty glasses, all piled on the wooden table.

At this time, there were still many people in the tavern, and the whole tavern seemed noisy.

Senior Benjamin added some golden cider to the cup and said to us: "Tell you a legendary and interesting story!"

In fact, I would rather drink some barley wine with white foam at this time. It would be best to have a plate of dried fish at this time.

So I called the waitress over again and ordered two glasses of ale wine from her. The waitress looked at me in surprise, as if I had made a very wrong decision to drink barley wine in the pub.

I didn't bother arguing with her, and just listened to what Senior Benjamin said: "The day before yesterday, the consul of Lavenham City and the leader of the Knights of the Guard Battalion came to Ayr City specifically to inquire about a falcon squad. Coming, it is said that the falcon team defeated a large group of barbarians. The team stayed out of the Bayland Pass and completely blocked the barbarians from sneaking into the mountain road of Lavenham City. On their own, they actually blocked the strong attack of two thousand barbarians. Not only did they hold on to the pass for a whole That night, we successfully drove back those barbarians.”

With his chubby belly, Bobby drank a glass of golden cider in one gulp and said in surprise: "Oh my god, which Falcon team actually dares to stop the barbarians head-on?"

Senior Benjamin showed a wry smile and said, "Those people in Lavenham City don't know either, otherwise they wouldn't have rushed to El City to look for that Falcon team."

I was a little curious as to how those people found this place, so I asked Senior Benjamin: "How are they sure that this Falcon team is from El City?"

Senior Benjamin stretched out his hand to push away the messy wine glasses on the table, then dipped his fingertips in golden cider and drew a Galloping Horse River on the table with just a few strokes, and then drew a continuous line on the south bank of the Galloping Horse River. The mountain range can be regarded as the Antian Mountains. Then he marked the city of El in the south of the mountain, drew a fault mountain valley south of the city of El, and drew the approximate location of the city of Nato. Then he added the left and right arm mountains , Bayland Lough and Lavenham all drawn.

Unexpectedly, Senior Benjamin's memory was very good, and he sketched a map of the western district of Sloit Province in just two or three minutes.

He drew a large circle on Nato and Ayr with his hand and said to us: "Only Nato and Ayr need to take the Bayland Pass to enter Lavenham."

Senior Benjamin paused for a moment, and then continued: "Actually, the people in Lavenham City are not sure. They just think that Nato City and El City are the most likely, but the barbarian brigade was bloodbathed at that time. Among the ten small towns on the outskirts of Nato City, the falcons of Nato City either returned to the city to assist in defense, or they were chasing the barbarians who drove the town residents back to the ice and snow tundra overnight. No falcon team was as strong as this. "

Only then did Noah understand. Senior Benjamin had just been talking about ‘Belland Lake Pass’, so he asked Benjamin: “Is it really the Bayland Lake Pass?”

Senior Benjamin said with certainty: "Yes, that's what they said."

Noah's mouth opened and he couldn't help but ask: "Then did they say that there were two young magicians who braved the cold wind overnight to deliver messages to Lavenham City?"

"...I'll go!" At this time, senior Benjamin also realized that that team was probably my Falcon team, so he quickly asked Noah: "Which team blocked the attack of nearly 3,000 barbarians?" The Falcon Team at Bayland Lake Pass, isn’t it you who are talking about this?”

Noah grimaced and said with regret: "It wasn't me, I was the one who delivered the message. It was Jijia and his orc retinues who fought against the barbarians at the pass of Lake Beran!"

Senior Benjamin stood up from his chair excitedly and said, "I will send someone to send a letter to the visitors in Lavenham City, telling them that the Falcon Squad guarding the Pass of Lake Belan has been found."

I held Senior Benjamin and said to him, "I think it's better to forget it! I don't want to be too famous. Have you noticed that in recent years, the more famous the Falcon Squad is, the more likely it is to be killed by the barbarians. I don't want to be particularly missed by the barbarians on the snowy tundra."

Scholar Benjamin took three deep breaths, but still couldn't calm down from the excitement. He stared at me and asked, "Ji Jia, how did you do it?"

I tried to give a less important reason: "Well, I bought some crossbows at a private auction in the imperial capital..."

Benjamin squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said to me, "Excuse me, even if you put all the crossbows on the Beilan Lake Pass, you may not be able to stop those barbarians."

It seems that Senior Benjamin has come into contact with this kind of magic equipment in his usual training, and he is not unfamiliar with the function of the crossbow. He doesn't believe that I can use the crossbow to repel the barbarians.

So I took out a heavy magic crossbow arrow from my waist bag and put it on the table with a "bang".

I asked him to observe the giant magic crossbow arrows carefully, and asked Senior Benjamin: "What if I use these giant crossbow arrows with magic runes on the bed crossbow?"

"Are the arrowheads of these giant crossbow arrows really yours?" Senior Benjamin opened his mouth wide, looking at the tiny magic pattern array on the arrowheads, touching the undamaged magic crystals on them with his hands, and said to me: "The visitors from Ravenham City took two of these giant crossbow arrows with magic rune patterns the day before yesterday."

My eyes also fell on it, and I sighed: "This giant crossbow arrow with magic runes is not cheap. We were very careful when cleaning the battlefield, but unfortunately many of them were drilled into the rock wall and could not be found."

Senior Benjamin asked me: "Did you use magic crossbow arrows in that battle?"

I nodded, and then said: "In addition to magic crossbow arrows, we also used two barrels of corpse fire oil to set fire to the giant wooden bridge built by the barbarians on the top of the city."

Senior Benjamin looked at me with an extremely complicated expression...
