My Magic Age

The hotel owner, Mr. Billy, was sitting on a chair inside the front desk, reading a parchment called "Biography of the Knights" with gusto. When he saw a guest coming out of the stairs, he casually asked: "Gentlemen, do you want to drink first?" A little warm polenta?”

He pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked up and saw that we were not walking towards the side door of the hotel leading to the pub, but towards the door of the hotel, and said to us: "In such a cold weather, we should go into the pub to drink." Ordering wine is not appropriate for going out!”

Only then did Mr. Billy clearly see the huge body of the tauren Luca behind me. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and asked in surprise: "Luca, are you back? I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now. Come in!"

The tauren warrior Luca turned around awkwardly in the narrow corridor and said hello to the innkeeper Mr. Billy. However, my figure was revealed. Mr. Billy recognized me at a glance and he cheered. : "Wow...who did I see?"

Mr. Billy walked out of the bar and said to me very enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Jijia Magician! I heard that you left Tanton City a while ago. Did you go to Pereira City? Over there How is the situation?"

I stopped and rubbed my hands, then stood at the door of the hotel and said to him: "Mr. Billy, I'm sorry! I'm not from Pereira City, and I don't know anything about the situation there!"

"Oh, that's right." There was unconcealable disappointment in Mr. Billy's eyes. He looked a little anxious. He scratched his messy hair with both hands and said to me incoherently: "The magic airship over in Pereira City is there again. It’s been postponed. I haven’t heard from my family there for almost a month. I hope there won’t be any bad news!”

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Pereira City is the only gate to the Green Empire on the Hierro plane. No matter where trouble occurs, nothing will happen to Pereira City." I comforted Mr. Billy.

Perhaps Mr. Billy thought what I said made sense. His tightly knitted brows relaxed a little, and he asked me again: "How is Swordsman Justus's injury?"

I replied: "The injury has stabilized!"

Mr. Billy breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good. In recent days, he has locked himself in the room, and even I won't be allowed in. I'm really worried that something will happen to him. When he came back from outside last week, , I saw that he was covered in wounds and had a lot of blood. The floor in the hall was stained red with his blood. I thought he wouldn’t make it this time!”

I said, "Fortunately, he is strong enough. He is a very good swordsman."

"Of course, he's a real gentleman," said Mr. Billy.

Seeing that I was about to go out, he asked me curiously: "Your Excellency, Magician Jijia, where are you going?"

I said: "I want to go outside the city and have a look. I think there may be some surviving adventurers in the black forest. If I can find them, I will bring them back."

Mr. Billy looked out the window again, seeing bursts of rain and fog floating in the gray sky.

He praised me: "You are really a kind-hearted magician, so I wish you good luck. Oh, by the way, please bring this, the sausage made by my wife. If you are hungry during the search and rescue, you can Take it out and roast it on the fire. Believe me, this sausage is really delicious."

After saying that, he walked to the restaurant behind the bar and took out a bunch of sausages for me.

Seeing that he was sincere and not just pretending, I couldn't refuse.

So he took the string of sausages and said to Mr. Billy: "Oh, thank you very much! Mr. Billy."

…

A group of us hurried out of Tanton City wearing cloaks and rainproof hoods.

Tandon City is built on the mountain. Outside the city is a vast green grassland. The grassland is covered with alfalfa, and a kind of light yellow flowers are blooming everywhere.

The rain made the only road outside the city muddy.

The long leather boots would sink deeply every time they stepped into the muddy water, and it took a lot of effort to pull the feet out of the muddy water.

No one except our group would go out of town in this weather.

Looking at the edge of the black forest from a distance, the entire forest seems to be integrated into a landscape painting, surrounded by mist and rain, and the dark green trees are hidden in the mist.

Niburu spider warriors also don't like rainy days. When the rain gets wet, it will flow down their backs into their book lungs, making their breathing less smooth, and rainwater will spurt out from the book lungs from time to time.

Giant spiders can also hide in tree holes and cannot come out. We followed the map drawn by Justus and found the Amur River in the Black Forest.

We cut down trees by the river and built a raft, and went down the Amur River. The first half of the Amur River flows rapidly in the mountains. The second half of the Amur River goes around the city of Tanton and gradually calms down after entering the Black Forest. After coming down, the tauren Luka pushed the raft into the river, and the raft moved forward gently in the river. There were weeping willows, metasequoias, banyans and other water-loving trees growing on both sides of the river. The scenery was beautiful and beautiful.

It is a pity that most of the animals and birds in this forest have been killed by giant spiders, so that the entire forest seems extremely quiet. Occasionally, birds fly over in the sky, but they rarely dare to land on the tree canopy.

After entering the forest area, I felt the friendly atmosphere conveyed by the trees in the forest. It seemed that the ancient war tree had a spiritual connection with me in this jungle twice, which caused the trees in this forest area to have feelings for me. Some affinity.

Since we can establish a connection with the trees in the Black Forest, the giant spiders hiding deep in the tree canopy will have nowhere to hide. We can always find out the location of the giant spiders in advance under the guidance of the trees. After the raft is docked on the shore, the minotaur Luka stays to guard the raft, and I take Katarina and Kalancuo to hunt the giant spiders in the tree canopy.

Basically, those giant spiders can't escape, and Kalancuo is very ruthless. As long as the giant spider chooses to break out from her direction, her double-edged sword will not hesitate to cut off the giant spider's legs, whether it is on the tree or under the tree. If it is on the tree, Kalancuo will also kick it down from the tree.

The giant spider weighs nearly a thousand pounds. Even if there is a bush under the tree, it falls from the top of the tree dozens of meters high. Because the spider legs are cut off, the giant spider will basically be half dead. Some giant spiders will directly break their bellies and become a pile of rotten meat.

After I sent five giant spiders back to Xinliu Valley one after another, the dwarf Bernd, who had been waiting in Xinliu Valley for a long time, could no longer sit still. At his strong request, I agreed to let him take 500 barbarian slaves into the Yero plane. I asked Bernd to take the barbarian slave warriors along the Amur River and follow our raft.

These barbarian slaves need a certain amount of time to adapt to the humid and warm climate on the Yero plane, and also need to adapt to the environment in the jungle.

Bernd also needs to follow us to hunt giant spiders and understand the temperament of giant spiders. I hope that in the next few days, he can lead this team of barbarian slaves to move freely in this jungle, but before that, I need to take Katarina and Kalancuo to explore the spider camp and build a spider camp in the forest less than 50 kilometers away from Tanton City. This camp is undoubtedly built for Tanton City. Once this camp is formed, it will pose a potential threat to Tanton City.

It is like a poisonous fang deeply embedded in the outer area of ​​Tanton City. If possible, I want to uproot it, but I have not figured out how to deal with the three Spider Warlords in the Spider Camp. I must find a way to set up an ambush.

The barbarian slaves have a special preference for the giant spider legs that fall from the treetops. These spider legs are collected by these barbarians as delicious food, and wrapped in oilcloth and carried on their backs.

There is still a light rain in the sky. Although it is not heavy, the water level of the Amur River has a trend of rising continuously. The river channel has widened a bit. The wetland that was originally full of reeds on the shore has also been flooded by the river. At this time, it becomes extremely difficult for the raft to drift in the river. The heavy raft always runs aground on the shallows on the river bank.

Every time, the Minotaur Luka needs to jump into the river and push the big raft back into the river. After several times, I had to decide to give up this big raft.

I gave everyone the magic of "walking on water" and walked along the river. Luka lifted me onto his shoulders. I held up a black umbrella and walked forward in the river.

A few hundred meters behind me, Bernd followed with 500 barbarian slaves.

Seeing that Kalancuo was too murderous, I had to temporarily transfer four barbarian slaves from the back and let them drag a huge net bag. Every time Kalancuo climbed up the tree canopy to hunt giant spiders, I asked the barbarian slaves to pull up the big net under the tree. The giant spiders that lost their legs fell from the tree canopy. At least there was a buffer, as long as they didn't die.

For me, every giant spider is a huge fortune.

Unexpectedly, it took us a whole day to travel the 40-50-mile river valley road. Along the way, we hunted more than 20 giant spiders. In addition to three giant spiders that fell from the tree and died, there were two that were accidentally killed during the hunting process. The rest were all transported back to Xinliu Valley.

Along the way, we hardly saw any victims of the adventure group.

Less than ten kilometers away from the spider camp, we finally encountered a team of spider scouts.

The drizzle made the visibility in the Black Forest very low, and the trees were reborn. Five spider scouts explored along the river towards Tanton City. They passed through the dense forest, and their heavy bodies often trampled the bushes.

They walked very fast. Although they were exploring, their thick spider legs stepped on the muddy open space in the forest, and they seemed to be moving at full speed. Some mud brought up by the spider legs covered their bodies. These five spider warriors seemed to have drilled out of the muddy water. The rain kept falling on them, but it still couldn't wash off the mud on their bodies. .

Because of the warning from our tree friends, we knew of their existence in advance, so we set up an ambush on the road they had to pass, and temporarily transferred twenty barbarian slaves to hide in the reeds in the river. When the five spider warriors passed by, a wave of cross heavy crossbows fired volleys.

Perhaps because their senses were dulled in the rain, the spider warriors discovered them only when the crossbow arrows flew less than three meters away from them. However, it was too late to dodge at this time. The spider warriors raised their weapons to resist. Of course, it was impossible to block all the twenty rectangular crossbow arrows. In this way, several giant crossbow arrows more than three meters long nailed five spider warriors to the tree trunk.

Kalancuo rushed up first, holding a double-edged sword in one hand, and cut off the heads of two seriously injured spider warriors who were not dead.

Then he and Katarina took out the slave contract scroll together and asked the spider warriors "surrender or die".

Kalancuo stared at the spider warriors with murderous intent. After the remaining three spider warriors chose to die, Kalancuo cut off their heads with a sword.

…

We touched the edge of the spider camp and climbed to the top of a huge fir tree.

This spider camp built by the river has turned white. In the black forest covered by drizzling rain, it seems like a world of ice and snow. Those white spider webs covered the forest, making the trees in the forest lose their vitality. The leaves of the trees in the spider camp slowly turned yellow and died.

Even though it was raining, the spider camp continued to expand outward. Hundreds of giant spiders kept spinning silk and weaving webs in the rain, swallowing up the black forest bit by bit. This spider camp was actually endless.

Kalancuo looked at such a large spider camp and asked me in confusion: "What are these Nibru spiders going to do?"

I said: "No matter what they are going to do, let's try first to see if the spider commander is in the camp."

Kalancuo jumped directly from a tree dozens of meters high without saying a word. When she was about to land on the ground, she skillfully inserted the dagger into the tree trunk, slowed down the speed of falling a little, and jumped directly onto the warhorse.

At this time, there were twenty orc construct warriors riding black-scaled horses waiting on the spot under the tree.

Kalancuo jumped onto the horse, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and shouted to the black-scaled horse under his crotch: "Go!"

The warhorse rushed out like an arrow from a string. The twenty orc construct warriors behind followed closely and urged their horses to catch up, and a team of orc knights rushed towards the spider camp.

At this time, I also jumped down from the tree canopy with Kalancuo. In midair, Katarina flashed behind me. She stretched out her hands to hold my waist and took me to the ground steadily.

"Let's go back to the river!" I said to Katarina.

After that, Katarina and I returned along the way we came.

The spider camp was only a few hundred meters away from the river. Bernd led 500 barbarian slaves to wait by the river. With the cover of the reeds, the barbarian slaves stood in the knee-deep river water. Each of them held a heavy crossbow in his hand, and the crossbow arrow was on the bowstring ready to go.

These barbarian slaves bent their waists slightly, like cheetahs hunting on the grassland, trying to hide their bodies in the reeds as much as possible.

The dwarf Bernd stood with these barbarian slaves, looking even smaller.

I took Katarina from one end of the barbarian slave team to the other, carefully checking the "walking on water" blessed under the feet of the barbarian slaves.

The rumbling sound of galloping horses could be heard in the distance. Kalancuo and twenty orc knights appeared in the rain, fog and dense forest, followed by a black shadow...
