My Magic Age

The walnut desk was painted with a thick layer of varnish. The desk with repeated patterns carved around it looked shiny in the room. A bunch of white daffodils were placed in a vase with gilded patterns on the desk. Alia sat in the office chair, looking at the ball invitations piled on the desk with a distressed look on her face. She simply pushed them randomly, and some of the exquisite letters even fell from the desk to the marble floor.

Alia's golden hair was casually tied behind her head with a hairpin. She was inexplicably irritated and said to Betty, "Take them all out. Find any reason to refuse them."

"Okay, master." Betty said.

The personal maid hurriedly took the invitations away, and even winked at me before leaving. I didn't understand what she was hinting at me. Was she asking me to keep Alia safe? Or to help her solve her current troubles, but I didn't even know what she was worried about.

The magic spider silk cloth became popular in the imperial capital, and then this cloth was recognized by the elves, so that a large number of magic spider silk cloth were exported overseas, which not only created huge wealth for the Green Empire, but also made Alia famous in the textile industry of the imperial capital. Alia's textile workshop has undergone three expansions and now almost occupies the entire magic spider silk cloth market of the Green Empire.

In the textile industry, Alia has gained a certain voice. She is respected by some people because she has excellent cloth in her hands.

For her, this respect is earned by her hard work. The last time I went back to the imperial capital, she mentioned these things to me complacently.

But something seems wrong today. She seems to be resisting these invitations to the ball, and she is angry...

I walked behind her, put my hands on her shoulders, and covered her glasses a little bit. She didn't resist, but her body was a little stiff. I whispered to her softly: "Close your eyes, take a deep breath... let the world be quiet!"

When I said these words, a faint and strange blue magic pattern appeared under my feet, and the magic effect of the early stage of "hypnosis" appeared under my feet, similar to "calming the mind". My thumb gently pressed her forehead and asked her: "What are you worried about?"

Alia crossed her fingers, let the back of her hands hold up her chin, and complained to me: "Recently, there are always people talking about some topics about me behind my back."

"I thought you didn't care what others said." I smiled and said.

I have never seen her show such an expression before. She held my hand and said to me: "Recently, many people want to get to know you through me, and they try every means to get some news about you from me."

I laughed dumbly and said: "I thought everything about me was exposed by the Imperial Capital Magic Newspaper. There are still people interested in me."

Last summer, I appeared in the Imperial Capital Magic Newspaper almost every other day. I think anyone who reads magic newspapers regularly should know me.

Alia squinted her eyes and saw that the knight seemed to enjoy it. She said to me: "If you appear at a ball in the Imperial Capital now, you will be surrounded by some noble ladies who are very interested in you. In addition, there will be a lot of nobles who want to make friends with you until the end of the ball. In the end, you will be surrounded by some finished rune board buyers and asked about the latest news of the rune board workshop."

"Even if I have married Qi Ge and Ying Li, they don't care?" I asked Alia in surprise.

"Do you think I care?" Alia did not answer directly, but asked me a question.

I think it's a good thing that Qi Ge and Ying Li won't hear this, otherwise I'll be in trouble. I asked Alia: "Is it because the plane war of the Yelo plane won that I have become very famous in the imperial capital?"

Alia smiled charmingly. She tilted her head against my lower abdomen, looked up at me and said: "Your current fame... is not brought by that plane war. Now many people are asking about you because you said at the rune board supplier conference that you are going to sell some finished magic rune boards to the outside world."

The rune board finished product buyers are really realistic.

I couldn't help asking: "What about those celebrities who want to get close to me, what do they think?"

"...What can they think? They just want to see who the young magician who made Billy Babington so angry is." Alia said with a smile.

"Uh..." I was a little speechless.

Alia's mood has improved.

So, she said to me: "Ji Jia, I suddenly feel bored staying in the capital recently."

I suggested: "Where are you going? If you don't have any good ideas, I can send you to the town of Trum for vacation. The Nibru spiders have withdrawn from the Black Forest. It seems very safe there. The town of Trum is surrounded by forests and is a resort, but the weather is a bit hot and humid."

Alia mustered up her courage and said to me: "I mean I want to go back to the province of Sloyte."

"What's wrong with that? Let's go." I said to Alia.

She stretched out her arms and hooked my neck, and raised her head to kiss me.

Aria's tangled mood did not last long before she recovered. When she heard that the town of Trum was currently short of daily necessities, she immediately started planning with Betty to purchase the items needed for the town. However, as soon as she considered Hiero In the humid and hot weather of the plane, any fresh ingredients cannot be stored for too long in the Hierro plane. These foods are different from flour and will not spoil easily as long as they are not damp.

Providing meat to the town of Trum became the first priority, and then Alia said to me: Otherwise, all the canned luncheon meat and meat floss bricks stored at Qige Trading Company should be transported to Trum first!

"By the way, the orc tribe also produces a kind of raw meat jerky. This kind of meat jerky tastes a bit like dry firewood, but it can be soaked in water for a while and it will become soft. This kind of meat jerky can be stored for a long time, and the most important thing is There are many orc tribes there.”

I thought of a good idea and said to Alia.

Then I said: "I have prepared a batch of giant crossbow arrows with thorium decorations, but I still need to sign a series of customs clearance documents and obtain official signed documents before I can transport those holy silver crossbow arrows to the Pai Plateau. ”

"What are you going to let those orc warriors give in exchange for your holy silver crossbow arrows? Is it those dried meats?" Aria asked me with a smile.

I stood behind Aaliya, raised my head and looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and said, "That's right..."

…

When I walked out of Aaliyah's manor, I saw this gorgeous magic caravan parked across the street. The carriage also had the emblem of the Prince James Palace printed on it. A middle-aged man who looked like a butler stepped out of the carriage. He walked down the street and walked straight towards me.

This is the magic caravan of the Prince's Palace. I didn't expect that Prince James would actually send someone to look for me, and even guard me outside Aria Manor.

This series of things made me a little stunned, and I was even a little uneasy. I was worried that if Prince James suddenly walked out of the carriage, the scene would be embarrassing. Fortunately, my worries were unnecessary. There was no one else in the magic caravan. Sitting in the magic caravan, I let out a sigh of relief.

I followed the magic caravan to James Lakeside Manor, where Prince James was waiting for me in the pavilion in the back garden.

This pavilion is built directly in the lake and is surrounded by water corridors extending in all directions. The garden design is very grand.

"Recently, the entire Green Empire Congress has been talking about the Duke of Samoyed's son Zach, and his fiancée, the princess of Salta Province, Miss Ernestine. When I heard people talking about them, Many people will mention Miss Ernestine first, and they will always talk about her other prominent identity, the leader of the Ninth Constructed Knights of Durva Province. The victory of the Dulv Province Plane War has a lot to do with her. Relationship." Prince James told me straight to the point.

So Prince James came to me to talk about this, I thought to myself.

It seems that the news of the great victory in the Hierro plane has spread to the imperial capital. Prince James could have known these things in advance from Ledie, but the willful Ledie was still staying in the town of Trum. She said she would stay for a few more days. God, there's nothing I can do against her.

I said: "Ernestine is indeed a very competent leader of the Constructed Knights."

Prince James stared at me seriously and said: "This victory in the Hierro plane has greatly increased the confidence of the lords in the plane war. I heard that the ten constructed knights of the North Wind Legion entered the Hierro plane. "Luo Plane, did you write to Duke Jingyue and borrow it in private?"

The look in his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything, and when he looked at me, cold sweat broke out on my back.

I can only say honestly: "Well, the situation in the Hierro plane was a bit bad at that time. Zach and Ernestine came to the imperial capital to try to persuade the lords to send troops to the Hierro plane. Unfortunately, they had Constructed Knights in their hands. The lords of the regiment were too cautious and were not optimistic about the future situation in the Hierro plane. At that time, those lords all rejected Zach's request, so Zach and Ernestine went to the Royal Academy of Magic to find me. Please give me to Jingyue The Duke wrote a letter, hoping that the North Wind Legion could send out a few Constructed Knights to support the plane war in the Hierro plane. I also had the idea of ​​giving it a try, so I wrote a letter to Duke Jingyue, but it didn't work. Thinking that Duke Jingyue actually agreed, and directly sent ten Constructed Knights to the magic airship, and sent them to Durva Province. By the time I received the reply from Duke Jingyue, the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion had already arrived. Pro Durva.”

Prince James asked me again: "Are you familiar with Marquis Zach and Miss Ernestine?"

Of course we are familiar. We are already comrades squatting in the same trench. Do you think we are familiar with each other?

But I couldn't explain this to Prince James. I could only explain: "It's okay. We have had several contacts before. I healed his injuries, and he also helped me get some black-scaled horses." , and then gradually became familiar with it.”

Prince James told me again: "Charles was very happy after receiving the news of the victory in the Hiero Plane War. He has already asked the Secretary of State to send a message to formally summon Zack and Ernestine. It is estimated that the official document for the summons has been delivered. I have visited the Duke of Durva's Mansion, and of course I have seen some shadows of the North Wind Legion and you in this war, but since Duke Jingyue has not been publicly rewarded, the reward from your side will probably be suppressed. "

I think this may be the reason why he chatted with me, just to tell me tactfully that the victory in the Hierro plane this time had nothing to do with me.

Prince James continued, "The two major armies of the north and south involve the core interests of the Angelbould royal family. What Charles least wants to see is that the powerful North Wind Army inexplicably appears on a certain plane. This time, the war on the Yerro plane will probably not make your achievements public. You have to weigh this matter."

I spread my hands, showing a helpless look, and said, "I know, this is also a disguised protection for me."

Prince James nodded and said, "I'm glad you think so. I have to say that you have done a good job on the Yerro plane, but I still say what I said before. If you need territory and fiefdoms, I can draw a piece for you on the Manda plane. Or if you feel that the territory obtained in this way has no sense of belonging, you can also bring your group of knights to fight in the undeveloped territory of the Manda plane."

I know that the Manda plane is the richest plane in Prince James' hands. The name of this plane is named after Lady Manda. Since he said that he supports me to open up a piece of territory on the Manda plane, it is obvious that he knows the news that I have become a noble marquis.

But then I thought about it, and then I declined and said: "James, thank you for opening the Manda Plane to me, but I have already built Trum in the Yello Plane. There are many things waiting for me to plan for that town, and I also have to take care of my studies in the imperial capital. I may not have the energy to open up new territories in the Manda Plane for the time being."

Prince James was a little surprised. He didn't expect me to refuse, but he still said to me: "You can come anytime you want. I will open the teleportation gate of the Manda Plane for you at any time."

"I heard that you are doing the rune board business?" Prince James asked again.

"I have a rune board workshop in the seventh block." I said.

Prince James said to me again: "If you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, you can find Donald at the Military Logistics Department. You can come to the Lakeside Manor more often."

I said seriously: "I will, James."

James showed a gentle smile: "Manda has prepared Buenos Aires-style afternoon tea for you. You can try the elf cookies, but be careful not to eat too much..."

I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Manda again. I hesitated for a while, and then said to James: "James, the orc tribe on the Pai Plateau recently..."
