My Magic Age

Everyone has his own past. Those memories may be beautiful or bitter. Anyway, they have been deposited on the yellowed parchment.

Only when you turn over the parchment full of past years will you wake up in a hurry and realize that you have gone further and further on the road of life.

Standing at the door of the restaurant, Senior Vernon and Senior Erica left first. Looking at their strange yet familiar eyes, they obviously couldn't let go of each other, but neither of them was willing to lift the veil in front of them. I think there must be an unknown story between Senior Vernon and Senior Erica.

Noah put his arm around Shirley Newman's waist and said to me with a sigh: "Ji Jia, what do you think Senior Vernon is hesitating about?"

I retracted my gaze and sat on a long row of wooden chairs in the middle of the long street, basking in the hot sun and feeling the heat wave. There is no such bright sunshine on the Yello plane. Walking through the dark and humid dense forest all day, the whole person has become a little moldy.

I lazily said to Noah, "I don't know!"

Ying Li knew that I was going to the Imperial Capital Magic Academy in the afternoon, so she didn't stay with me.

After everyone had lunch together, she took Tinuville to the magic shop in the fifth block. It was said that they had made an appointment long ago to choose a new magic robe.

Noah had a magic experiment class in the academy in the afternoon, so he couldn't go anywhere. He stupidly accompanied me to sit on a bench in the middle of the long street to bask in the sun.

Shirley Newman didn't go crazy with us. She was worried that her skin would be tanned by the scorching sun. She held a magic book and waited quietly under the shade of the trees on the street.

"Hey, what is this?" Noah took the parchment roll I handed over and asked me expectantly.

I chuckled, motioned him to open it and said to him: "The recipe is a summary of a barbarian slave. The method of roasting spider leg meat is probably the best way to keep the spider leg meat fresh and tender."

Noah's expectant face collapsed instantly. He slowly unfolded the parchment roll and said to me naggingly: "Those barbarian slaves? They can actually write a recipe? Hey, Jijia... Wait, what kind of words do they use? What is written on it!"

I leaned over and looked at the strange words on it that looked like stick drawings. I was also a little confused...

Finally, when the Royal Magic Academy started classes in the afternoon, I ran to the academy's teaching department and asked Director Freeman to approve me for another month's leave.

Director Freeman did not ask me the reason for the extended leave. He just looked at me deeply and said to me solemnly: "Ji Jia, I have to remind you that you must control your time and rush back before the final exam. It is difficult for you to get a C-level evaluation from the magic teachers, which means that you must get at least a B+ in the final exam of each course to successfully get credits."

"Got it, Director Freeman." When I said this, I felt a little timid.

Even so, I successfully got the leave note.

Just as I was about to leave with the leave note, Director Freeman smiled at me and said, "Although I don't agree with you taking a three-month leave in half a semester, it doesn't mean that I won't congratulate you, Ji Jia, congratulations on becoming the 79th person in the history of the Royal Magic Academy who can successfully complete the first job transfer in the second grade and join the ranks of intermediate magicians!"

After that, Director Freeman took the lead in applauding me in the office of the teaching department, and other magic teachers in the teaching department also applauded me.

"Thank you, Director Freeman, thank you, teachers..."

I walked out of the teaching office, feeling inexplicably excited.

I wanted to run to the square in front of the academy's teaching building and shout to the blue sky, the bright sunshine, and the sycamore trees swaying gently in the breeze.

The square of the magic academy was quiet, and I could only suppress the excitement in my heart and quickly walked out of the Royal Magic Academy.

...

Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute.

Walking through the inner corridor and passing a lush courtyard, the door of Qi Ge's magic laboratory was closed.

I did not go to the Yekis Scholar Magic Laboratory, but went directly to the door of Vice Dean Bruce's laboratory and knocked heavily on the thick wooden door.

Vice Dean Bruce and Scholar Yekis are close friends. It is also because of this relationship that Scholar Yekis was able to become a magic scholar at the Imperial Capital Magic Academy with a magic academic paper on "magic puppets" and a magic puppet with a heart of stone when he first arrived in the imperial capital, enjoying the allowances, magic materials and various rich resources issued by the magic academy to scholars.

I got the method to awaken the memory fragments deep in Sister Guoguo's soul from this Vice Dean Bruce.

A magician named Lake opened the door. He was the magic assistant of Vice Dean Bruce. He stuck his head out of the door and said calmly, "Ji Jia, it's you! I haven't seen you for a long time. What can I do for you?"

I stood at the door with a smile on my face and said to Lake, "I want to see Lord Bruce. Lake, can you help me convey that?"

Lake was Lord Bruce's magic assistant, so he had a high status among the magic assistants in the Imperial Capital Magic Academy. He always liked to put on a stinky face. Yekis and Lord Bruce were close friends, so I would occasionally chat with him and we were considered acquaintances.

"Of course!" I didn't expect that Magician Lake would agree so readily.

Then he whispered to me, "Ji Jia, wait a moment. Lord Bruce is receiving a visiting guest. I'll make an appointment for you."

After that, he turned and walked into the magic laboratory.

I waited outside the laboratory obediently, thinking: I hope Lord Bruce is willing to take the time to see me. If he can set a time to see me, I will take the opportunity to go to Yekis's laboratory to have a look.

I didn't expect Lake to go in and out quickly.

He stood at the door, pushed the door of the laboratory open, nodded to me, and said, "Ji Jia, Lord Bruce invites you in."

I didn't expect Lord Bruce to see me right away. This vice dean always likes to lock himself in the laboratory and is notoriously difficult to make an appointment with.

Following Lake into Lord Bruce's laboratory, it was still the same as before. Bruce sat behind his desk, with files piled up on the table. The left side of the room was filled with file cabinets, and the right side was a wall of magic books. The specimen of the hellhound in the room was still so lifelike, but now that I was looking at the specimen of the hellhound, the trembling from the bottom of my heart was completely gone.

The back of a magician appeared in my eyes. He sat on the sofa with his back to me. He looked like the guest that Magician Lake mentioned.

When I saw his back, I felt a little familiar, but I couldn't remember who he was for a while.

Lord Bruce raised his head, his eyes fell on me, waved to me and said, "Ji Jia, come here quickly. We just talked about you. I heard from Yekis that you are very busy recently?"

"Good afternoon, Lord Bruce." I walked quickly to Lord Bruce and said to him respectfully.

Then, I said frankly: "I have been in the Yello plane for the past month, participating in a plane war."

Master Bruce smiled, motioned me to sit down, and reminded me: "Oh, you don't study hard at the Royal Magic Academy, but go to the Yello plane to fight. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to graduate from the Royal Magic Academy? The credits of the Royal Magic Academy are notoriously difficult to learn, and the system formulated there is very unfriendly to water magicians."

I stepped back and sat on the single sofa beside me. I said to Master Bruce in a firm tone: "I can't help it. I have a territory in the Yello plane. I have always been worried that it will be occupied by the Nibru spiders over there."

Master Bruce laughed: "Young people nowadays are more creative and bold than when I was young. They will do whatever they want without restraint."

At this time, I finally saw Master Bruce's visitor, with short black hair, bright black eyes, and a calm expression forever. It turned out to be the eldest son of the Mo family-Mo Xiang. I never expected to see him here.

Perhaps seeing my eyes on Mo Xiang's face, Lord Bruce said to me: "Ji Jia, let me introduce you to an outstanding magician. This is Mo Xiang. He has a deep attainment in all kinds of low-level magic. At the same time, he is also the most outstanding heir of the younger generation of the Mo family, the oldest and most aristocratic family in the imperial capital."

Then, Lord Bruce said to Mo Xiang: "Mo Xiang, don't underestimate Ji Jia. This kid and Ye Jis have made a lot of good things, such as the three sets of top-level magic pattern structures of "Giant Bear Power", "Earth Shield" and "Demon Snake Fang". They are made by the two of them. If you want to customize the perfect quality magic pattern structure, you can't help but persuade Ye Jis, and you have to wait for Ji Jia to have time. Ye Jis actually kept some things secret from me. Although the drawings of these three sets of magic pattern structures have been published for nearly half a year, up to now, no inscription master in the imperial capital has been able to perfectly draw these three sets of magic pattern structures."

"Recently, there are always people who come to me and want to get the complete magic drawings of three sets of magic pattern construction from Yekis. In fact, they don't know Yekis at all. Since my old friend promised to make the magic drawings of these three sets of magic pattern construction public, he will not play tricks in this regard. I don't know what's wrong with these inscription masters in the imperial capital. They all seem to be blinded by magic crystals. No one is willing to calm down and do academic research on magic pattern construction."

Sir Bruce expressed his dissatisfaction with the inscription masters in the imperial capital, and Mo Xiang and I took the opportunity to look at each other. Mo Xiang smiled slightly and said:

"Hello, Magician Jijia, we meet again!"

I nodded to him, glanced at the noble badge he wore on his chest, and said:

"Hello, Marquis Mo Xiang."

Everyone in the imperial capital knows about the duel between me and William, so I don't think there is anything good to talk about between me and the young master of the Mo family.

And I don't understand why he would smile at me. I don't think there will be any "laughing away all grudges" between him and me.

Just when I was a little uneasy about his smile, Mo Xiang finally said: "I heard that Duke Jingyue mobilized ten Construct Knights of the North Wind Legion to Durva Province to help Duke Samoyed pacify the dark forces in the Yello plane. There were rumors that the reason why Duke Jingyue sent ten Construct Knights was because you, Magician Jijia, wrote a letter to Duke Jingyue. I didn't believe that a letter could move Duke Jingyue before. It turns out that you, Magician Jijia, were also in the Yello plane before. It seems that this news is true!"

I didn't expect that his first sentence would be to ask me about this.

And I thought it wasn't a big secret, so I said frankly: "Yes, I and Earl Desmond, the Grand Knight Commander under Duke Jingyue, are fighting on the Yello plane recently. Zach and Ernestine are divided into two groups, each leading a legion of construct knights to fight along the east and west lines at the same time, preparing to recapture Gurubashi City, Angros City, Blood Ring Stone City, and Thunder Pillar City on the Yello plane, and Earl Desmond and I are leading ten construct knight groups in the forest south of Tanton City."

Mo Xiang narrowed his eyes, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, and said to me: "Mage Jijia, it seems that you don't know the news that Zach led his army to successfully recapture Thunder Pillar City, and just three days ago, the war madman Ernestine has successfully captured Angros City. Now the streets and alleys of the imperial capital are discussing the war on the Yello plane everywhere."

I didn't expect that the Yello plane would be spread to the imperial capital so quickly.

I was eager to know the news about Zack and Ernestine, so I couldn't help asking, "Have the Nibru spiders over there started to prepare for withdrawal? Zack and I haven't been in touch for almost a month. I just arrived in the imperial capital last night and haven't had a chance to read those magic newspapers..."

Before I finished speaking, Lord Bruce clapped his hands and interrupted the conversation between Mo Xiang and me.

Lord Bruce said to Mo Xiang, "It seems that you young people have a lot in common, but I'm about to prepare for the next magic experiment, and I don't have time to chat with you here. Since the person you are looking for is already in front of you, Mo Xiang, there is no need for me to say anything. If Ji Jia refuses you, you can go to Yekis. As long as he is willing to speak for you, Ji Jia will definitely not refuse."

Mo Xiang's eyes became brighter, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at me.

At this time, Lord Bruce asked me again, "So... Ji Jia, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Do you need me to step aside?" Mo Xiang sat on the sofa and asked me with a bow.

I shook my head, indicating that I didn't need it.

I took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Sir Bruce, if possible, I want to buy two magic krypton gold ingots from the research institute."

Seeing that Sir Bruce had not spoken, I had to bite the bullet and said, "I have searched all the magic markets and auction houses in the imperial capital, but I have never been able to buy them."

Sir Bruce smiled at me, but I could not understand the meaning of his smile.

I heard Bruce say to Mo Xiang, "It seems that these things can be solved without my presence. You came to me because you want to buy the magic giant crossbow arrowhead from Ji Jia through me, and Ji Jia came to me because he wanted two krypton gold ingots that are difficult to buy on the market. Why don't you trade directly?"

Then he asked Mo Xiang, "Mo Xiang, there should be no shortage of krypton gold ingots in your family warehouse, right?"

"That... of course." Mo Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that with my power, I can only withdraw two krypton gold ingots from the family treasury..."
