My Magic Age

Count Robert, the boss of North Duisburg, personally sent me to the door of the workshop.

When my carriage left the alley and turned the corner, I saw him returning with his assistant.

In the early summer, the air in the seventh district of the imperial capital was filled with a faint scent of locust flowers.

After passing a fairly neat residential area, there was a row of shops along both sides of the street.

…

Various aromas were wafting in the street. The butter bread in the bakery exuded a faint sweetness. The butcher shop hung fresh yellow sheep meat, semi-dried ham and sausages. The barbecue restaurant wafted the salty and fragrant cumin smell. As exhaust fans became widely popular in the kitchens of the imperial noble families, many food stores gradually installed this kind of life magic item in the kitchen.

It has been proven that blowing the aroma in the store to the street can increase the desire of passers-by to buy these foods. This is also the main reason why many shop owners are willing to install exhaust fans in their stores.

…

On the streets of the imperial capital, you can also see another new type of store, which is a store selling all kinds of fresh sea fish. The counters in the store are covered with a thick layer of ice, and all kinds of sea fish are placed on the ice. Some white frost mist keeps pouring out from under these ice blocks. Even in the slightly hot season of early summer, the ice blocks on this wooden counter show no signs of melting.

This kind of store specializing in selling fresh sea fish has only started to rise slowly in the imperial capital since this spring. At first, only a few small storefronts were opened in the most prosperous areas of the third and fifth blocks, because these fresh sea fish, which are slightly more expensive than yellow sheep meat and bison meat, are just the light luxury food that low-level nobles living in the second and third blocks who live a petty bourgeoisie life can afford.

Many nearby restaurants also put some sea fish dishes on their menus. Most people in the imperial capital cannot resist the freshness of cooked sea fish. In just one month, these frozen fish shops selling sea fish have sprung up in various blocks of the imperial capital like mushrooms after rain.

The idea of ​​using the "Frost Magic Rune Plate" to transform the freezer was brought from Xinghai City by a group of fishmongers in the Northern Province.

Xinghai City was originally a port city. The cold wind blowing from the ice and snow tundra makes the sea here at zero degrees for half of the year. Under this water temperature, the sea is rich in various sea fish with high fat content. These sea fish are delicious and have always been the food on the tables of the upper-class noble families in the imperial capital. The upper-class nobles in the imperial capital generally use expensive magic-sealing boxes to transport these delicious sea fish.

As for the origin of the freezer, it first appeared on the sea ships of Xinghai City. At the beginning, after the fishermen caught a large number of precious sea fish, they would drop one or two frost scrolls at the bottom of the fish hold, and then load the sea fish into the hold, so that the sea fish could be kept fresh for a long time, and they could also sell these sea fish at a good price after being transported back to the seaport.

Later, the fishmongers in Xinghai City borrowed this method, put the frost scrolls into large wooden boxes, filled the wooden boxes with iced sea fish, and directly transported these sea fish to the airport town by magic airship for sale. This method made the fishmongers in Xinghai City make a lot of money.

The vendors in the imperial capital found that in order to keep these iced sea fish from deteriorating, they only needed to throw a disposable frost scroll into the wooden box. When the vendors bought frost scrolls in the magic grocery store, they found the frost magic rune board.

So the ‘Frost Magic Rune Board’ became the biggest medium for promoting the Frost Magic Rune Board in this spring in the imperial capital.

...

In addition, in some free markets, you can also see some household ovens made of Fire Rune Plates. These ovens are also very cleverly made, and the market potential is much greater than that of copper hot pots.

Recently, Murray has been asking for an increase in the production of Fire Rune Plates at the Rune Plate Workshop. For the 'Miniature Tornado Rune Plates' and 'Frost Rune Plates', it is only necessary to maintain the current production capacity.

However, for me, it is difficult to increase the production of Fire Rune Plates, and even if I want to maintain the current production capacity, it is difficult.

Due to the needs of the Yello Plane War, I must ensure that the reserve of dual-attribute giant crossbows reaches five combat readiness bases, because I am worried that if I lose a battle with the Nibru Spiders, it will be difficult for the barbarian slaves to take back those giant crossbows on the battlefield. If I continue to fight with the Nibru Spiders, I will have to use brand new giant crossbows. I don't want the heavy crossbow group composed of barbarian slaves to be unable to exert their maximum power because the giant crossbows are not fully prepared.

Although in the face of the plane war, the production of all life-related magic rune plates must give way to it.

From exhaust fans to copper hot pots, and then to freezers and ovens, these life-related magic rune boards are gradually entering the lives of the people in the imperial capital.

…

"Go to the Royal School of Magic."

Catrina said to the coachman outside.

Catrina and I sat face to face in the magic caravan, with a cup of lemon tea on the table.

I picked up a magic newspaper and casually flipped through some recent news written on it.

I didn't expect that the magic newspaper actually wrote an inside story about Prince Charles' victory in the Ahn'Qirado plane. It is said that Mo Xiang, the eldest son of the Mo family, led 20 construct knights to the Ahn'Qirado plane and tied down the Nakma army, which gave Prince Charles a chance to breathe.

A group of Prince Charles' staunch supporters, who were also the heirs to the throne of some wealthy nobles, led their private armed forces to the Anchirado plane and helped Prince Charles win a real victory. The entire Nakma army was defeated in the Anchirado plane, and the war situation in the Anchirado plane was initially stabilized.

I think Louis Mensa must be among the heirs to the throne of those wealthy nobles. It seems that this is the real foundation of Prince Charles.

In contrast, Prince Wales's campaign on the Loki plane was not very hot. Senior Dylan was still fighting with the army. Although there was no good news, the huge pressure on the Nakma people caused by the teleportation ship on the Loki plane was gradually showing, and Prince Wales was constantly pulling the Nakma people's defense line.

Prince Wales's Knights were like a wind wolf on the grassland, following behind the herd of cattle, wanting to bar their fangs at the calves and sick old cattle that had fallen behind.

In addition, I found a report about the war on the Yello plane in the magic newspaper. It briefly introduced that Duke Samoyed launched a counterattack on the Yello plane. The knight army led by Zach had already attacked the Thunder Pillar City, and Ernestine's knight army had just left Gurubash City and defeated many Nibru Spider Legions along the way.

This report did not say that the North Wind Legion also participated in this major counterattack. It just said that Duke Samoyed had finally dealt the most painful blow to the Nibru Spiders after brewing for more than half a year. However, the report also pointed out very sharply that Duke Samoyed's counterattack this time was only to recover the lost territory. For the time being, there was no plan to completely defeat the Nibru Spider Army and seal the connecting channel.

In addition, the magic newspaper also used a lot of space to introduce the grand occasion of the magic awakening ceremony in the Imperial Capital this year. It is said that nearly more than a thousand future magicians have awakened in the Imperial Capital, which is about thirty times the number of El City, and there are also several talented young magic apprentices born with very good magic talents.

Sitting in the magic carriage, enjoying the warm afternoon sunshine and reading the various news in the Imperial Capital Magic Newspaper, I felt an indescribable sense of ease and freedom.

At this moment, I forgot the knights fighting on the Yello plane, the Black Forest devastated by the Nibru Spiders, and the residents of Tanton City who lived in fear under the shadow of the Nibru Spiders.

After a while, I put down the magic newspaper in my hand and said to Catalina with great emotion: "It would be great if there was no plane war!"

Catalina looked at me strangely.

At this time, the speed of the magic carriage began to slow down gradually, and finally the carriage stopped at the gate of the Royal Magic Academy.

I pushed open the door of the carriage and walked out.

I saw several magic merchants standing under the shade of the trees at the gate of the academy, whispering to each other.

In a high-level magic academy like the Royal Magic Academy, it is rare for magic merchants to block the door. After I got off the magic caravan, I was inevitably looked at repeatedly by these magic merchants. When they found that I was not the person they were looking for, they withdrew their gazes.

I walked into the academy with Catalina and went directly to the library. On the path of the lawn in the large square in front of the academy, I saw Ivan and Diego. The two seemed to be hesitating whether to go to the gate of the academy. When they saw me passing by, they turned around and ran away quickly.

The faces of the two of them looked very bad. It seemed that they had not yet struggled out of the quagmire of the magic rune plate workshop.

…

In the academy library, I went up to the second floor and came to the room of scholar Sean.

When I knocked on the door and went in, I saw him wearing a monocle and holding a thick magic book and reading it carefully.

The kettle on the tea stove next to him was emitting white steam, but he was unaware of it.

I walked over and took the magic crystal fragment from the center of the Fire Rune Plate with a clamp. The flame of the tea stove went out instantly. I filled the teacup with hot water. Seeing that Scholar Sean was still concentrating on the magic book without any reaction, I walked to the bookshelf in the corner of the room to admire the exquisite covers of those magic books.

Without Scholar Sean's recommendation, I would not dare to read these advanced magic books casually, for fear of being influenced by some of the magic views in these magic books.

After a long time, Scholar Sean finally woke up from his concentration. He looked up and saw me standing in front of the bookshelf. He said to me in surprise: "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be traveling in the planes at this time to find an opportunity to upgrade?"

Scholar Sean took off his glasses, stood in front of me and looked at me seriously for a long time. He raised his eyebrows and said to me: "Wow! It's really unexpected!"

"I didn't expect you to step into the ranks of the first-level intermediate magician so quickly." Scholar Sean said very pleased, and his eyes showed a joy. I didn't expect that he only looked at me a few times and knew that I was promoted successfully. .

"Yes, Scholar Sean." I said honestly standing in front of him.

Then, I heard Scholar Sean say: "That's right! Last summer, you had already comprehended the 'momentum', and then repeatedly tempered the magic power in the magic pool. It was as easy as water for you to be promoted to an intermediate magician. It should be so. There is really nothing to be surprised about!"

"..." I was speechless for a while.

He then continued: "Then... let me think about why you came to me. Do you want to learn the third-level water magic skills?"

As he spoke, he looked at the bookshelf beside him and searched for magic books on it.

Soon his eyes stopped on a magic book, his eyes lit up, he reached out and took the magic book out from the bookshelf, and said to me: "I have a book called Healing Rain here. This third-level water magic skill is the easiest to learn. With your understanding of water magic, it is estimated that you can learn it in less than a month. There is a shortage of healers everywhere now, and this magic skill book is very suitable for you."

I rubbed my nose and did not reach out to take the "Healing Rain". Instead, I said to him implicitly: "Scholar Sean, compared to water magic skills, I prefer deeper ice magic."

After hearing what I said, Scholar Sean hesitated for a while before saying:

"Oh, the main reason why I have always disapproved of you learning ice magic is that ice magic has a big disadvantage. Once you learn deeper ice magic, it means that when you become a second-level high-level magician in the future, you will also need to comprehend the ice element body accordingly, and you need to communicate with the ice element spirit. Compared with the water element body and the water element spirit, it is difficult to communicate with the ice element spirit. Not a little bit. "

He paused, and seeing that I showed no sign of changing my mind, he sighed and said, "Okay, I know you look much better-tempered than Heidi, but in fact you are as stubborn as Heidi. I won't stop you on this matter. I have a third-level ice magic skill book here..."

Seeing that he was talking endlessly, I had to interrupt him and tell him the purpose of coming to see him this time: "Scholar Sean, I came to see you not for the third-level magic skill book, but to ask you for advice. I heard that after the magician is promoted to the first level, basically they will awaken their magic talent, but I don't feel any change in myself. "

"Awakening magic talent? Oh, that's right, but not all magicians will awaken their magic talent after the first level. There are also some special existences, but I think these special existences will never include you. The magic talent you awakened is just that you haven't discovered it yet. "Scholar Sean changed his mind and said to me.

Then he asked me, "Have you never meditated after the promotion to the first level?"

I nodded.

Scholar Sean patted my shoulder, sent me to the door with a helpless look on his face, stuffed the two magic books into my hands, and said to me: "After you go back, meditate well and accept the guidance of your body. You will feel what is different in the spiritual world. It is worth noting that you must accept the guidance of your body..."
