My Magic Age

Sometimes you can never predict where hatred will come from. Maybe when you are walking on the street, a flowerpot will suddenly fall from your head, or maybe the manhole cover under your feet will suddenly be stepped over, and what I met was an angry Susan. Auntie, the neighbor aunt who often likes to send Luka baked wheat cakes...

The magic caravan drove into the alley of the third block. She sat on the roadside and squinted in the sun. Aunt Susan moved her fat arms and waved to me who was sitting in the car and looking out. He spat on the stone floor and shouted to me at the top of his lungs: "Jijia! Where did you get that stupid cow?"

Unexpectedly, she still remembered the Minotaur Luka. She was a straightforward woman in the Imperial City. She married from the North to the Imperial City when she was young. She still maintains the fierceness of a Northern woman. She is also one of the three Constructed Knights. Mother, her sons are all participating in the plane war, so she has full confidence to speak like this to a noble magician.

Of course, in her impression, I was just a student at the Royal Academy of Magic.

I poked my head out of the car and explained with a smile to my neighbor Aunt Susan, who had always taken great care of the Minotaur Luca: "He went to the Hierro plane this summer to participate in the plane war. Now, he I still have some other tasks, so I can’t return to the imperial capital for the time being.”

Aunt Susan has always been an unswerving supporter of the plane war. I think she would send a blessing to Luka when she heard what I said.

However, I never expected that Aunt Susan suddenly stood up from the bench, pointed at me with an angry look on her face and said, "What, you actually sent him to the battlefield so cruelly?"

"..."

I was a little confused by the angry look on Aunt Susan's face.

I don’t understand where her anger came from. I really want to ask her: Didn’t you send all three of your sons to the battlefield?

The leaves of Wutong Mountain in the alley fell all over the ground, leaving only the bare branches. Those yellow leaves have not yet been cleaned up, and the whole alley looks a bit depressed. In the past, the tauren Luka would rush to do this kind of thing. Maybe Aunt Susan was complaining that without Luca, there was no one to clean up the fallen leaves on the street, no one to prune the neighbor's shrubbery, no one to repair the broken fence with a hammer on a sunny afternoon. wall.

Aunt Susan became angrier as she talked. She had plump breasts and a waist as thick as a bucket. She was wearing a house skirt and a white apron around her waist. She pointed at me and said harshly: "I have seen through you. You are just a person who only knows The magical nobles who exploit honest people!”

"..."

I was sitting in the carriage of the magic caravan, with my face pressed against the open glass window, looking at this tough imperial woman speechlessly, not knowing what to say.

My magic caravan passed in front of her, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought it was nothing to be scolded by her, it was nothing...

Catalina, who was sitting opposite me, heard the curse on me, and came over to look out the window. She turned to look at me with a smile. She would not stab Su with a dagger just because Aunt Susan scolded me. Aunt Shan stabbed me, but she found me like this very interesting.

After leaving El City, few people scolded me like this. Aunt Susan’s aggressive demeanor reminded me of Fanny.

Fanny liked to stand in the yard and scold Tracy for not coming home on time. She also liked to scold me for always sneaking into the next yard to chat with Sue. Fanny never thought that I was chatting with Sue. If she thought she was going to the next yard or stealing the lemons from the tree, she would yell at Trayn who would only come home drunk. Nancy's temper has actually changed a lot since she arrived, but it's a pity that Liant still has a countess lover.

Lady Jeanne, the widow of Count Zimmermann.

I scratched my head in distress, and my thoughts returned to reality, only to realize that Aunt Susan had not stopped.

Aunt Susan actually used her thick elephant legs to chase after the carriage and asked me loudly: "Is the woman living in this apartment your new lover? She actually has two children with her!"

I felt a little headache, and I was worried that if Kongzhen heard this, it would increase the burden on her heart.

The magic caravan stopped in front of the fence of the small villa, and Catalina opened the door.

Aunt Susan, who was in a state of rage, stepped on the hanging ladder of the carriage and blocked the door.

Her voice could almost run through the entire alley. She asked me: "Do you like married women? That must be the case, yes! You seem to prefer those who are older than you? The former Lady Alia is one of them, Now here’s another one, but your standards seem to be getting lower and lower.”

If I really wanted to argue with her, her big mouth like a broken gong could attract people from the whole street.

I can't rush up and slap her twice for this matter. When I lived here, I received so much care from her, and I am still somewhat grateful to her. Of course, now I only feel angry. I really want to Cast 'Silence' on her - if I could.

Apart from having a bit of a bad mouth, she was definitely a warm-hearted and good neighbor, so she had many supporters on this street. I felt that she would be at a disadvantage no matter what, so I decided to rush out of the carriage and walk in quickly. Yard, I hope she can stop it.

She did not follow me into the fence, but put her hands on the edge of the fence, tried her best to stick her head inside the wall, and scolded me: "As a thin young magician, I advise you to Men and women must know how to exercise restraint in matters like this, otherwise you will suffer in the future. Hey, I haven’t finished speaking yet..."

I quickly walked into the yard and quickly walked around from the front to the backyard, and then Aunt Susan's voice gradually disappeared in my ears.

Sitting on the bench under the pergola, I exhaled softly.

This pergola was originally built for Luka, but now only the empty wooden frame is left. Catalina sat across from me quietly, looked at me with a smile and said: "I thought you couldn't help it..."

I rested my head on the railing, leaned back and looked at the blue sky. I let out the tightness in my chest and said, "What can I do if I can't help it? I can't scold her. How can I go over and hit her? She has nothing but to do." A little bit harsh...well, her mouth is so stinky!"

Next door to the backyard lives a very old nobleman. He is a traditional gentleman. He rarely goes out, but even at home he wears formal clothes. He rarely takes the initiative to chat with people, but when facing everyone Neighbors will appear to be very polite, and at the same time, they will control the distance between them appropriately.

Across the fence, he stood in the yard of his house and said to me gently: "Please don't pay attention to what she said. She has been sitting there these days, scolding anyone she caught, and making the night watchman angry. No one dared to light the street lamps in this alley, and the cleaning workers did not dare to clean the fallen leaves on the street. This summer, I heard that Her three sons came to the battlefield one after another with bad news. In the empire, the lords her sons followed sent generous pensions. She could not spend all the money in two lifetimes, but what could she do? It’s all gone… I don’t know when the damn plane war will stop.”

"..."

I don’t know why, but when I heard the old noble talk about this, it felt like a stone was stuck in my heart.

My heart is actually not that soft. I saw too many dead people on the battlefield, so I thought I must be sick...

…

At this time, I suddenly heard Angelo's voice: "Jijia, are you okay?"

Only then did I remember that I had originally rushed here to visit Kongzhen, and when I walked into their yard, I had forgotten all about it. I followed the sound and saw Angelo squatting on the attic. He was holding a wooden box in his hand and staring at me curiously. When he saw me looking at him, he licked his lips in the direction of Aunt Susan, lowered his voice and asked me: "Do you want me to help you scold me?" Whatever, I’m great too!”

After saying that, he also made a reassuring gesture.

I shook my head and said, "Angelo, what are you doing?"

"I'm building a pigeon nest. I want to raise a group of pigeons. The sky in the Imperial Capital is as blue as the sky in Haiyinsi, but it's a little too quiet." Angelo stood on the roof and looked up at the floating tower in the sky. Wangcheng, said to me.

I also looked up at the blue sky above me. In the imperial capital in autumn, the sky was as blue as a sapphire.

I said to Angelo: "This is not a good idea. There is a forbidden air circle here in the imperial capital. Unless you keep the pigeons in the cage, once they fly into the sky, they will be struck by lightning with a click. Split into roasted pigeons..."

Angelo grabbed the wooden box in his hand and jumped down from the roof with a whoosh. He opened his mouth slightly and asked me, "Really?"

"It's absolutely true." I gave him a positive answer and then asked, "By the way, where is Liya?"

The big boy Angelo rubbed his nose and told me: "She is taking care of the dog. The dog is sick and has been refusing to eat for the past few days. I think it may be dying."

After saying that, he pointed to a corner of the yard. Only then did I see that a small pool had been dug in the yard at some point. It was filled with clean water. A small wooden house was built next to the pool. The little girl Liya I was sitting in front of the cabin holding my knees. A fur seal was lying wet inside the cabin, with only its head exposed. It had its eyes closed tightly, its breathing was a little rapid, and it looked very weak.

Angelo stood next to me and said: "Song is really worried about Liya and leaves me at home to take care of her."

I walked over gently and sat on the grass next to Liya. I didn't speak, I just sat there quietly.

The seal seemed to feel that someone was approaching, and opened its eyes warily. After taking a look at me, the beard on its mouth twitched twice, and then closed its eyes weakly.

"It's dying." Liya said pitifully to me with bright eyes.

"It might be a little homesick." I looked at the fur seal that had been away from the sea for a long time and looked a little dehydrated. I didn't know how it persisted until now.

"I'm a little homesick too." Liya murmured to herself.

I took out two silver coins from my money bag and handed them to Angelo, and said to her: "Angelo, can you buy two mackerels for me? I think it may have not eaten fish for a long time. My body is too weak, I can stay here to help you take care of Liya."

Angelo took the silver coin and immediately expressed that he could complete this arduous task, and said to us: "I know there is a fish shop at the corner of the street. In fact, just give it some sardines. Sardines are much cheaper than mackerel." ”

"Of course, you make the decision on this matter." I decided to give the purchasing power to this big boy.

"I will be back soon, Liya, you must be obedient." Angelo happily ran out with the silver ingot.

Seeing Angelo running out quickly, I said to Liya: "Hey! Liya, I have a way to make it better."

"Really?" Liya's eyes widened when she heard what I said.

I reached out and scratched her cute little nose and said to her: "But there is a condition. If you want it to get better, you can't see it often. Are you willing?"

Liya said seriously: "As long as it gets better, I'm willing to do anything you ask me to do."

I stretched out my hand and said to her: "You have to help me keep this secret. This is a secret between the two of us."

"I promise you, I swear it in the name of my family," she said.

After saying that, she stretched out her fleshy little hand and gave me a high-five.

"Well, take it and follow me..."

I stood up and walked into the villa, and opened a teleportation door in the corridor near the basement. I walked in with Liya holding the little sea dog in her arms, and then walked towards the unknown island through the teleportation altar. This fur seal has just been away from the sea for too long, and it will naturally get better when it returns to the sea...

…

Unexpectedly, a simplified version of the 'Glimmer Illumination' magic pattern drawing designed by Yerkes Scholar last winter would come in handy before winter this year. The reason is that the simplified version of the drawing is more suitable for magic printing machines. Mass production, and for the magic pattern formation with low-light illumination that is too simple, the magic seal machine made by the dwarves has unprecedentedly increased the yield rate to 75%.

The birth of this simplified version of the 'Glimmer Illumination' magic pattern array was designed by Yerkes scholars to add the accompanying magic pattern 'Energy Gathering Magic Ring' to the energy-saving 'Glimmer Illumination' magic rune board. Optimized version, this magic rune board is not energy efficient.

Since the magic crystal fragments on the current magic market are too cheap, in this autumn and winter, magic energy saving has become a gimmick to increase the value of magic items. The "Low Light Illumination Technique" itself is an extremely magic-saving primary light magic. , when people in the Imperial City purchased magic lamps, they began to pay attention to whether the rune board itself was of high quality and low price, and their tolerance for energy consumption requirements increased a lot.

On the fifth day after returning to the Imperial Capital, Count Orensteinbeck asked me to meet in the office of the Imperial Capital Infrastructure Construction Management Bureau. He proposed to replace the existing "Low Light Illumination Magic Rune Board" lamps with cheaper ones. 'Moonstone Magic Wick' lamp.
