My Magic Age

After the hourglass I carried with me turned over five times, I realized that it was time to return to the imperial capital.

The news of Kalancuo's successive victories in the western part of the dense forest came frequently. These news not only made the barbarian slaves who were temporarily living in the indigenous tribe to celebrate, but also made the natives in the tribe excited after hearing the news. They even held a small bonfire dance and invited the barbarian slaves who were temporarily living in the indigenous village to participate.

Betty and Alia walked down the spiral staircase of the tree house. Although they were still dressed very coolly, Betty had two soft woolen shawls hanging on her arms, which were obviously prepared for returning to the imperial capital.

In the past two days in the indigenous tribe, Alia and Betty had fully experienced the life in the jungle cabin. The biggest gain of their trip this time was the two herbal formulas they exchanged from the Yelo indigenous witch. One of them was a formula for medicinal baths, which was actually soaking herbs in a bathtub. After the bath, the body exudes fragrance to drive away mosquitoes. Another herbal formula is a prescription for curing damp and hot poison in the jungle, and it also has the effect of refreshing the mind.

"Have you packed everything?" I asked Alia standing under a green fruit tree.

Alia nodded to me and asked me, "When are we leaving?"

She was wearing a corn-colored spider silk long skirt that just reached her knees, and her long leather boots were polished very brightly. Because it had just rained, there were large and small mud puddles on the ground. She pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and stepped into the mud.

"Let's go now!" I shook the hourglass in my hand and said to Alia, "If it is the time in the imperial capital now, it happens to be evening. I have to rush back to attend the magic class tomorrow morning."

Alia subconsciously pulled the hem of her skirt, only to find that she was wearing a knee-length skirt. She smiled lightly and followed me out of the forest.

Betty followed behind the two of us. From time to time, some natives popped out from behind the trees to secretly say goodbye to Betty. It can be seen that Betty is very popular in the native tribe.

A group of indigenous children spoke a series of indigenous languages. I don't have much language talent. Although I have a strong memory, I can't understand what they are saying. I didn't expect Betty to answer fluently.

"I didn't know you could speak Yero?" I turned around and said to Betty who was walking behind me.

Betty was wearing an equestrian suit that was easy to walk through the dense forest. She wore an apricot silk shirt with a pair of sheepskin breeches with vertical stripes. Her curly wavy long hair was also tied into a ponytail behind her head. When she saw me looking back, she smiled and said to me: "I learned from the great witch in their tribe these two days. I only know a few simple greetings."

Betty actually met the great witch in this tribe. It is said that each great witch has a transcendent status in the indigenous tribe.

However, I think the abilities of these great witches are still extremely limited. Otherwise, when the Gilda tribe is in danger, the great witch should stand up like Elder Singer and lead the tribal warriors to resist the Nibru spiders.

I knew that Alia had obtained two recipes for magic herbs from the witch of the Gilda tribe, so I asked her, "What kind of person is that witch? Can she cast spells?"

The light-colored dress made Alia look much younger against her fair skin.

When she saw me asking about the witch in the tribe, she said to me, "She seems to have the power of magic. I don't know how to cast spells, but I know how to cast spells ... "

Alia said to me in a slightly sour tone: "One of the two indigenous girls who have been taking care of your daily life these past two days is the witch's disciple. You should ask her directly about the affairs of the great witch in the indigenous tribe. "

"Oh! "

Then I remembered the two indigenous girls that Elder Singer arranged for me. It seemed that we didn't see them when we left the tree house. I wanted to say hello to them and express my gratitude to them. I even prepared two small gifts. After all, they have been taking care of our food and daily life for the past two days.

If they could be tactful and avoid it at some point, but they don't have the eyes like Betty,

So at some times, they still seem a little annoying, which further dilutes their presence. Not to mention that I don't remember their names, it seems that I haven't even looked at them in the past two days.

As long as I think of them with a spittoon-like crown on their heads, their hair is covered with green tree sap, making all the hair stick together and look hard, I will feel very disgusted as long as I think about it. My impression of these two indigenous girls is actually very vague, and I haven't even seen their faces.

Seeing my confused face, Alia's face was slightly relieved, and she said to me: "It's the girl with a sun vine tattoo on her back."

I vaguely remember that there seemed to be an indigenous girl with a banana leaf bra on her upper body, and some different vines on her back, which made her look like she was standing in the bushes at any time. After thinking about it, I felt that if those vines were tattoos, the tattoo was really realistic.

Maybe I will have a chance to meet her again when I come to the Gilda tribe later.

"I didn't know she was actually the tribe's witch. I didn't even have time to say a word to her." I said to Alia.

We walked through the open space in the forest and passed in front of the barbarian slave tent.

Bernd and nearly a hundred barbarian slaves stood outside the tent and waved goodbye to us.

These injured barbarian slaves are in good physical condition at present. Their injuries are recovering quickly. It is estimated that they will be able to return to the team and participate in the battle in a short time.

Bernd wants them to rest for a few days in the indigenous tribe. After their injuries are healed, they will go to the west of Green Valley in batches to join Kalancuo's large army.

But what I didn't expect the most was that these barbarian slaves were quite popular in the native tribe. The natives here thought that these barbarian slaves were honest guys.

They thought that these barbarian slaves especially liked children and were very loving. They followed the rules in every transaction and were very fair even when trading with children.

But these natives didn't know that the barbarian slaves' moods were closely related to whether they could fill their stomachs. They were not so easy to get angry after they were full.

In fact, I would like to remind the natives that these barbarian slaves would eat people when they were hungry.

But seeing that they have such a harmonious relationship with each other now, it seems that I suddenly walked up to the natives and said: Hey, be careful when getting along with these barbarian slaves, don't be eaten by them.

I'm afraid no one believes this!

Before I returned to the imperial capital, two orc knights rushed to the Gilda tribe from the front line. They found me directly and brought back a sheepskin bag for me, which contained almost two hundred black magic crystals.

If we hadn't been delayed a little while trading the last batch of magic herbs and wheat flour, I would have returned to the imperial capital to prepare for dinner. In that case, I'm afraid the two orc knights would have made a wasted trip.

Several Gubolai horses were equipped with saddles and were nibbling low bushes in the open space in the forest. The four Gubolai horses seemed to be not afraid of the thorns on these bushes at all. They pulled off leaves and tender branches, chewed them twice, and swallowed them into their stomachs.

Catalina was waiting next to the Gubolai horses. When she saw us coming out of the native village, she jumped on the horse and led the other three horses to approach us.

Perhaps it was because it had just rained, the road was very muddy. The iron hoof of a Gubolai horse stepped into a puddle, and mud and water splashed everywhere.

I first lifted Alia onto the back of a Gubolai horse. Since she was wearing a skirt, she could only sit sideways on the saddle. I thought it was unsafe for her to ride like this, but Alia said that she had received special equestrian training in this area and told me that this was the correct riding posture for noble women in the imperial capital.

Betty was wearing an equestrian suit. I just held her slender waist with both hands and lifted her onto the horse's back easily.

Then I rode my own horse. This Gubolai horse seemed to be familiar with my taste.

I pulled the reins with one hand and kicked it slightly with my legs on the stirrups to let it chase Katarina in front.

At this time, there was a rumbling sound of footsteps behind me. I turned my head and saw that it was Elder Singer who came out of the tribe with a group of natives. I thought there would be no such farewell ceremony.

I was riding on the horse when I heard Elder Singer calling from behind: "Lord Jijia, wait a moment."

I had just said goodbye to Elder Singer, and he chased me out of the tribe at this time. I asked Elder Singer in surprise: "Elder Singer, what else do you want?"

"Lord Jijia, you forgot to bring your two pieces of luggage!" Elder Singer stood in front of me, looking up and smiling at me.

I thought about it carefully and made sure that I didn't miss anything, so I turned my head to look at Alia, who shrugged her shoulders, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with her.

I guess maybe Elder Singer prepared some gifts for me and I forgot to bring them.

"I...?"

Just when I was about to ask Elder Singer, I saw the native crowd suddenly parted, and the two native girls hurried out from behind the crowd. The spittoon crowns on their heads had disappeared. It seemed that they had just washed their hair, and they no longer used green tree sap as hairspray to make their hair hard, which looked much more pleasing to the eye.

The two indigenous girls had long hair and stood in front of the indigenous crowd, looking graceful. They were wearing a bra and short skirt made of dry bark fiber, with large areas of beeswax-like skin exposed. The pure and natural beauty came to me at once.

At this time, I looked at their faces seriously. Their beautiful faces were rosy after just taking a bath, and their slender and tall figures made their collarbones look very beautiful.

...Is this the two pieces of luggage that Elder Singer mentioned? I was a little confused.

At this time, I heard Elder Singer say a lot of things, specifically these two meanings.

We have established a trade relationship with the Gilda tribe. In order to consolidate this relationship, Elder Singer decided to give me the two best girls from the Gilda tribe.

One of them is the granddaughter of the tribal elder, and the other is the successor of the next tribal witch. These two girls are of noble origin in the Gilda tribe. The former knows a little about the Green Empire language and will help me learn some simple Yelo language. The latter is proficient in preparing witch medicine. At least this makes me quite excited.

Another meaning is that these two tribal girls admire the culture of the Green Empire very much, so they want to follow me back to the Green Empire to learn the knowledge there.

I just said a few words of refusal in a tactful way, and the expressions of Elder Singer and other natives immediately became serious. Elder Singer had a gloomy face and did not speak, but the natives around him pointed at me in a very tense atmosphere, speaking a string of Yelo language, and I did not understand a word.

The two native girls stood in the crowd, and they also looked shy and annoyed, with slightly red eyes. When they saw me looking at them, they turned their backs.

I looked at Alia blankly on the horseback.

At this time, Alia winked at Betty, who rode up to me and whispered to me in the imperial language: "Those natives are talking about how you also have the arrogance of the Greens, and that you, like other Green Empire people, have never looked down on the Yero people. They also said that even the most beautiful girl in the tribe would not be looked at by the Greens..."

I couldn't help but sigh.

Betty then told me that it seemed that the trade and military alliance agreements reached between me and Elder Singer were not trustworthy if I didn't accept these two native girls, as if I had the arrogance of the Greens in my bones and thought that I was just using them.

If I didn't accept these two native girls, it seemed that the mutual trust we had built with these natives would collapse.

"If they are willing to go to the Green Empire Capital with me, I would certainly be happy to do so. Elder Singer, please rest assured that I will take good care of them." When I said these words to Elder Singer, I didn't even know the names of the two native girls.

Elder Singer smiled when he heard me say that. He came up to me and patted my thigh. He said to me, "Do you Greens always refuse things? Is this what you call modesty?"

"..."

In fact, I really wanted to tell Elder Singer that I had no interest in these two spittoon girls at all.
