My Magic Age

The battlefield in the dense forest was in a mess, and the muddy forest was full of the charred bodies of giant spiders. These giant spiders died in various postures.

I saw with my own eyes a giant spider with a big fire on its body. Its body curled up into a ball and kept rolling in the mud puddle in the forest. It tried desperately to get its body into the mud, thinking that this would put out the fire on its body. However, this giant spider was wrong. Until its body was completely burned and its carapace had completely turned into carbon ash, the corpse fire oil could not be completely extinguished.

These giant spiders burned black by the corpse fire oil in the forest gave off a disgusting odor, and a faint green smoke with a foul smell floated in the dense forest.

Fortunately, the dense forest was very humid, and even if some trees were ignited, the fire could not spread. Most of them burned out by themselves.

The forest was full of burnt marks. The native warriors who were cleaning up the battlefield looked like coal miners in the coal yard outside the city of El. Except for their teeth and eyes, their bodies were all black.

Most of the wooden spikes standing in the forest had been burned. The remaining ones were burnt to a crisp, and some were covered with black and purple spider blood. Occasionally, the legs of giant spiders on the wooden spikes could be seen twitching constantly.

The native warriors removed the giant spiders that were not burned to ashes from the wooden spikes, split the giant spiders' shells with axes, and collected the usable materials from the giant spiders.

The barbarian slaves searched for giant crossbows scattered everywhere in the forest. These dual-attribute magic crossbows were very expensive, and the price on the market was close to a magic crystal stone, so the biggest savings was that these magic crossbows could be used repeatedly.

They walked all the way from the dense forest to the spider camp, pulled out the giant crossbow arrows stuck in the dead spider warriors, put them into the huge quiver behind them, picked up the weapons used by the spider warriors from the ground and carried them on their shoulders, then swung the axe to smash the hard skull of the spider warriors, and took out the egg-sized magic cores from the purple-black flesh and blood. These magic cores contained precious black magic crystals.

No matter where, the cost of war is undoubtedly very expensive. Many lords of the Green Empire cannot afford failure. Sometimes even a failure in a war can make them bankrupt.

Only victory can make huge profits in war.

In order to win this battle, I prepared fifty barrels of corpse fire oil, and distributed ten three-attribute magic crossbow arrows to each barbarian slave. These four thousand giant crossbow arrows alone are worth at least five thousand magic crystals.

For nearly a month, Kalancuo has been constantly hunting spider warriors in the spider camp in the east of Green Valley, and these must be calculated as the initial cost investment.

The barbarian slaves brought back some black magic crystals and some black iron weapons used by spider warriors from the battlefield. Unfortunately, they did not capture enough giant spiders, because most of the giant spiders were burned to death in the battle. Fortunately, only a small number of giant crossbows were damaged, but these damaged giant crossbows can be taken back to Xinliugu Blacksmith Shop for simple repairs.

Most of the giant crossbows were not damaged in the battle. As long as the blood stains on them are slightly cleaned, they can be used immediately.

I sat on a collapsed log and sighed in my heart: Only by winning the battle can I be qualified to take back these giant crossbows on the battlefield. After careful calculation, it seems that the investment in each battle has been increasing recently. This is definitely not a good sign. It seems that how to rationally control the cost of war is the most important course for me to learn at the moment.

The corpse fire oil sprayed by the orc flamethrower team ignited many trees in the dense forest, causing great damage to the forest. Although the fire did not spread because the forest was too humid, there were still many fire points in the dense forest. The indigenous warriors were trying to put out these fires.

Nearly 10,000 indigenous warriors blocked these giant spiders from the front, so the remains of these giant spiders on the battlefield belonged to their trophies.

The joy of victory in the war infected every indigenous warrior. For these indigenous warriors, fighting in the dense forest of Green Valley was to defend their own homes. They had no way out at all. This victory gave every indigenous warrior the belief of victory.

The indigenous girls Puyaka and Connie walked over from the battlefield surrounded by smoke and fire in the distance with the indigenous leader. The indigenous leader looked a little embarrassed. His leather armor was blackened by the fire, his hair was burnt, and he had several shallow wounds on his body. He carried a scimitar unique to the Yero indigenous people on his waist and strode with vigor.

The victory of this battle made the native chief happy. Although there were many things waiting for him to deal with after the battle, he still couldn't wait to come to see me.

The native chief didn't understand the imperial language, but with these two native girls as a bridge of communication between us, there was no obstacle in communication between me and the native chief.

He first made some statements about this battle with great emotion, saying that all these victories came from the blessing of the forest god, and then began to tell me how brave the native warriors were, using their flesh and blood to block the charge of tens of thousands of giant spiders... and so on.

Just when I thought this guy came all the way to show off his brilliant military exploits to me, the native chief finally got to the point. He took off a dirty leather bag from his waist. This leather bag was so dirty that even the native chief felt a little embarrassed.

He hesitated for a moment, and didn't dare to hand the leather bag to me directly. Instead, he asked the servant beside him to find a few clean leaves and spread them on the ground. He untied the leather bag and poured out the magic cores stained with purple and black blood. A fishy smell came to my nose.

The two native girls standing beside almost vomited when they smelled this strange smell.

Catalina also frowned slightly, covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and then took out a silver kettle from her waist bag, unscrewed the lid and poured all the clean water on these magic cores. The clean water washed away the fishy bloodstains, and the thick blood flowed into the puddle beside.

The wide leaves were covered with magic cores, about a hundred in number, and basically as big as my fist. Obviously, these magic cores should have been searched out by the native warriors from the giant spiders. Only the magic cores on the giant spiders would be so big.

In fact, not all giant spiders have magic cores in their bodies. Only a very small number of giant spiders can grow magic cores. I think these hundreds of magic cores were found by the native warriors from the remains of thousands of giant spiders on the battlefield.

I asked the native leader: "Are you going to exchange all these magic crystals for wheat flour?"

To my surprise, the native leader shook his head after hearing what I said, and then asked the servants behind him to take out a giant crossbow arrow and put it in front of him. Then the native leader gestured to the giant crossbow arrow and said a lot of words. In the end, two servants even brought up a bloody spider leg. The native leader held the three-meter-long giant crossbow arrow with both hands, just like holding a spear, and pierced the hard black insect armor of the spider leg.

In fact, even if the native girl Puyaka didn't translate, I could guess what the native leader wanted to say.

Of course, these indigenous warriors were not fools. They saw giant crossbows harvesting the lives of spider warriors like cutting leeks on the battlefield, so they took a fancy to these extremely sharp giant crossbows. For indigenous warriors, giant crossbows more than three meters long can just be used as a spear.

The indigenous leader came to me this time to buy some giant crossbows from me.

I did not refuse directly, but asked Puyaka to tell the indigenous leader about the value of giant crossbows. The magic cores brought by the indigenous leader can only buy more than a hundred giant crossbows at best. Moreover, if these giant crossbows are to keep the magic array running normally, they need to replace the magic crystal fragments regularly. Not only are they expensive to make, but the cost of use is also very high, and the usual maintenance and repairs are also very expensive.

The indigenous girl Puyaka talked for a long time before the indigenous leader gave up the idea of ​​replacing all the magic crystals with giant crossbows, and decided to try to buy ten giant crossbows to allocate to the best indigenous warriors.

The remaining magic cores were all exchanged for thousands of bags of wheat flour, at least the rations for nearly 10,000 native warriors under his command this month were settled.

Although Kalancuo and Justus were injured all over, they finally brought back the head of the Spider Warlord.

The Tauren Luka also came back with them, but Luka's condition was slightly better, but the left shoulder armor with the highest defense of the full-cover heavy armor was broken by him. This set of magic pattern constructs only lacked one left shoulder armor, and the magic attribute of the suit disappeared directly.

I don't know what kind of battle they went through. The more than 100 orc construct warriors who returned from the southern forest with Kalancuo were even more embarrassed. Almost all of them were injured, and several orc warriors were still injured. They were carried back by black-scaled war horses.

After the Spider Warlord in the spider camp in the east of Green Valley was killed by Kalancuo, Justus and Luka, the battle came to a successful conclusion.

Next, Kalancuo and Justus will take the orcs and barbarian slaves to make some deployments against the spider camp in the western area of ​​Green Valley Forest.

Senior Dylan has already completed the transmission central system of the third transmission ship, and I will soon assemble the next transmission ship.

Therefore, in the next month or so, I basically can't rest. In addition to the normal magic courses in the academy, there are a lot of things waiting for me to do.

The indigenous girl Puyaka is the granddaughter of the elder of the indigenous tribe of Green Valley Forest. She is proficient in Green Empire language. She has always helped me and the tribal leader translate, so I have a particularly deep impression of her.

She has a pair of beautiful big eyes, her nose is straight, her hair is smooth and straight, and her skin is different from the bronze skin of most indigenous people. Her skin is a porcelain white with a jade luster.

She wears a set of wind snake skin armor. The tough soft armor makes her figure look very fit. The figure of indigenous girls is generally plumper than that of ordinary girls in the imperial capital. Life in the jungle is far less comfortable than life in the imperial capital.

The name of the other indigenous girl is called Connie. She is the disciple of the great wizard in the indigenous tribe. She can prepare many kinds of tribal herbal medicine. Although I can't feel the fluctuation of her magic power, I found that she has the ability to control some plants, and perhaps she has the ability to communicate with some plants.

In short, after getting along with them for this period of time, I slowly discovered that these two indigenous girls have many advantages and are not useless vases.

This time they returned to the imperial capital with me. I think maybe I should find a school for them to learn the culture of the Green Empire.

…

"Jijia, what have you been busy with recently? If I want to find you at the Royal Academy of Magic, I can only find you in the magic class." Senior Vernon stood on the balcony of the dormitory and waved to me.

His dormitory is on the third floor, not on the same floor as Noah and I.

"Senior Vernon, do you have something to ask me about?" I lay on the bench and asked Senior Vernon with my head raised.

Recently I have been busy drawing the magic rune boards for the fourth teleportation ship. Although these rune boards are very complicated, I have done them over and over again five times. Many of the drawing details have already been engraved in my mind, so I started to make them. It is also very convenient, and the time spent in the astrologers' union every day is also constantly reduced. The days when I often stayed up all night are gone forever.

There is no need for me to keep an eye on the dock.

The crew members on the Avengers have transformed into experienced shipwrights, and can already independently assemble the metal rune plates used to transport ships.

These days have been much easier than last month.

Senior Vernon smiled, held his hands on the balcony railing, leaned over and said to me: "I heard that you can get some magic herbs there. One of my friends is a magic pharmacist. This guy doesn't know how to get around. I recently received an order for refining magic potions, but the magic herbs were not fully prepared..."

I squinted my eyes and asked Senior Vernon: "Do you have a list of the kind of magic herbs you need? I do have some magic herbs stored in my trading company, but most of them are kudzu roots used to refine primary healing potions. "

Senior Vernon didn't expect that I would ask him for the list of herbal medicines so readily. He was overjoyed and ran downstairs.

He held a piece of parchment in his hand and said to me: "There is a list, here it is! Let's see how much you can come up with here. I'm thinking of the rest elsewhere, maybe from Teacher Abel." Get some from the herb garden.”

"Just need these?" I looked at the names of the primary magic herbs on the list and confirmed to him.

"Ah..." Senior Vernon was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect me to ask this.

I shook the list in my hand and said to Senior Vernon, "I should be able to help you with these, but these magic herbs must be traded at market prices."

At this time, Noah couldn't help but show his head from the terrace next door and said to Senior Vernon: "Look, I said Jijia must have a way. Sometimes my brother is in urgent need of magic herbs, and he also asks Jijia to help solve the problem. ”
