My Magic Age

Haiinsi City is located in the Inuis Province at the easternmost end of the Feiwenpodora Mountains.

After we walked out of the magic teleportation array in Haiyinsi City, the guards at the teleportation gate checked us, and then we came to the square in front of the teleportation array. The warm sea breeze blew against our faces. The sky and sea were blue, and the sea was flat in the distance. At the end of the line, you can just see the big dike built in the sea, which surrounds Haiyinsi City.

An orca rushed out of the sea. At the moment when its body reached its highest point, a column of water shot out from the top of its head. As the orca plunged into the sea, a huge wave appeared.

Haiyinsi City is not an extension of the Feiwenbodora Mountains, nor is it an island in the sea. It is a city in the sea supported by hundreds of thousands of stone pillars rising from the ground. It is the most famous music city in the Green Empire. , the city is filled with the cheerful sound of the accordion.

Although I had known that the climate here in Haiyinsi would be warm in winter, I did not expect it to be so hot. Perhaps it was because the imperial capital was too cold in winter. I had already reduced my clothes in the teleportation hall, but the first feeling I felt when I came to Haiyinsi City It's still hot, and the heat wave is blowing against my face.

The dazzling sunlight shone directly, and I pulled open the collar of my magic robe. I felt like a hot bun in a steamer. Although the sea breeze could take away some of the heat from my body, the sweat could not stop flowing down my face. Ying Li His face was also flushed, he took out a handkerchief and kept fanning himself with hot air, and complained to me in a low voice: "It's so hot here!"

The magic teleportation array here in Haiyinsi City is very grand. There is a large square outside the teleportation array. It seems that there is such a huge square in front of the teleportation gate in every city, with a group of beautiful girls wearing fur coats. They walked out of the portal talking and laughing, which also made the guards at the portal open their mouths, and their eyes kept rolling back and forth on the group of imperial girls behind me.

Among the members of this trip to Qiyan City, female members accounted for an absolute majority, starting from Yingli, Helena, and Becky, as well as Catalina, Kalancso, Deborah, and I specially invited Annie and The two sisters Su, in addition to senior Erica, are not accompanying them. However, Kalantso and Deborah are not accompanying them. They are still in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley with the tauren Luka and the siren descendant Justus. Waiting for me to open the door of summoning.

As the princess of Haiyinsi City, Yingli does not need to spend high teleportation fees to teleport from the imperial capital to Haiyinsi City. It is precisely for this reason that our group will give up teleporting directly to Qiyan City, but teleport to Haiyinsi City, and then Transfer to the airship at Haiyinsi City Airport and fly to Qiyan City.

A group of us were enjoying the shade under the big banyan tree on the edge of the square in front of the teleportation array gate of Haiyinsi City. Not long after, two long and narrow kayaks appeared on the edge of the square. A steward from the Prince's Palace ran down from the kayak and took a few people with him. A servant quickly came to us and first faced us Ying Li saluted me and said to us with a sad face: "Princess Ying Li, Marquis Jijia, please forgive me for being a little late. The tides in Haiyinsi City have been unstable recently, and the waterway traffic in the city has changed. It was very bad, I know this is not the reason for being late..."

Seeing that he kept talking, Ying Li had to interrupt him: "I've summoned you to prepare the tickets for the flight to Qiyan City. Are you ready?"

The manager of the Prince's Palace seemed a bit verbose and was a bit late when he picked us up by boat. When he heard Ying Li's question, he quickly came to Ying Li and said very humbly: "Your Highness, the magic airship is on standby at the airport terminal. You can set sail anytime you want.”

Ying Li looked back at me. I originally planned to come to Haiyinsi City this time and explore the surrounding areas. ㄑЫ熷this burdenＲXi cut the cavity, so it became roundworms It's a certain sheath school. ⒉The deserted 芫±basket R Xi cut the 砠绻猓Liao 茌芄 suffered from Dui Fang Lu Ｒ

Su, who was wearing a priest's robe, stood by the dock, staring blankly at the street composed of countless waterways. Anne, wearing a red salamander magic pattern armor, stood beside Su, and was also attracted by this beautiful city. Lived.

I said to Ying Li: "Then let's visit Uncle Fred first, so that Su, Sister Annie, and Senior Sister Erica can see the prosperity of Haiyinsi, and then go to the airport terminal in the afternoon."

Ying Li took my arm and said to the steward of the Prince's Palace: "Please send us to No. 75, Shengli Port Street. We need to make a short stop in Haiyinsi City, and then rush to Qiyan City."

The steward of the palace was bent over, and his clothes looked very smooth and without any burden. He smiled charmingly and said: "Your Highness, don't you stay in the palace for one night? I heard that Haiyin Silk City has arranged for you to come this time. A welcome dance is prepared.”

Haiyin Silk City especially likes to hold various dance parties. This is my second time coming to Haiyin Silk City. I just arrived at Haiyin Silk City and I received an invitation to the dance.

I know that Ying Li is very disgusted with this kind of social dance. Sure enough, when she heard the palace manager say this, she immediately wrinkled her nose and refused with some displeasure: "Oh, I'm afraid not, our schedule is very tight this time. , I don’t want to waste my time at a ballroom party halfway.”

After being rejected by Ying Li, the steward of the palace did not show any embarrassment, but skillfully led everyone on board.

This kind of kayak with pointed ends is thin and long, and only one boatman can row steadily and quickly in the waterways of Haiyinsi City.

There is also an arched canopy in the center of the kayak. Ying Li and the girls got into the canopy and changed their thick winter clothes into cool summer clothes. Their exposed skin felt the warm sea breeze, and the sea breeze blew up the soft long hair. As long as you lean down, you can touch the blue water. The water is very clear. You can even see the stone pillars under the buildings on both sides of the street that go deep into the sea. Some jellyfish are floating in the sea, and there are almost no fish in the waterways.

Haiinsi City does not have night watchmen in the traditional sense, but there is no shortage of city cleaners.

Compared with other cities, Haiyinsi City needs more cleaning staff to keep the city clean and tidy. In addition, Haiyinsi City also has a group of cleaners who specialize in removing shellfish growing on underwater stone pillars and maintaining these stone pillars in the sea. , they usually hold chisels and claw hammers in their hands, and dive under the sea surface with their leather pipes every time to clean out all the shells attached to the stone pillars.

Along the way, the kayak will pass through countless arched stone bridges of different shapes. There will always be some enthusiastic Haiyinsi people waving to us on the bridge. They can tell at a glance that we are foreigners.

There are also stalls selling barbecued seafood on the street. One of the stalls is filled with grilled octopus skewers. The smell of seafood with a hint of fishy and salty smell seems to have activated the taste buds of everyone on the boat. At Helena’s suggestion, we The two boats in front and behind slowed down and docked next to this barbecue stall. In addition to the delicious grilled octopus skewers, the barbecue stall also had charcoal-grilled oysters, which were also very delicious.

Then we decided to temporarily separate here. Yingli, Catalina, and I took a kayak to visit Uncle Fred.

Helena and Becky took the place of Yingli and I to entertain Anne, Su and Erica, who were visiting Haiyinsi City for the first time.

There are temporary piers not far away from the street. There are stone steps extending into the sea next to these small piers. There are always groups of tanned children with bare buttocks next to the pier. Their favorite thing to do when playing in the water is to stand on a high place and jump into the sea, and then climb ashore from the stone steps. There will be some women next to the pier carrying washing basins, and they use the sea water to wash their clothes.

There are public drinking water areas everywhere in Haiinsi City, where there are stone troughs for collecting water, and there is always fresh water flowing from the water pipes on the stone walls.

We kayaked through the waterway. As the steward of the palace said, when the kayak entered a bustling water street, the waterway became a little congested and the kayak had to slow down. Catalina sat on the seat of the kayak. On the bow of the ship, his legs were resting on the edge of the ship's side, and his feet could just reach into the sea water.

The boat arrived at Uncle Fred's leather shop just at noon. I jumped from the kayak onto the pier, and then helped Ying Li ashore. Catalina followed us. The palace steward wanted to follow us, but Ying Li was stopped by The words 'you wait here' were left on the dinghy.

After I walked Yingli along the street for more than a hundred meters, I turned into a side street. Uncle Fred's home is here. The house facing the street is the leather shop. There is a half-length leather armor hanging at the door of the leather shop. , the door looked very deserted, when we walked past , I happened to see a half-year-old child walking out of the shop. He ran to the street with a tin bucket in his hand, skillfully threw the tietong into the sea, and then pulled the hemp rope with his hand to throw the tietong filled with sea water. He pulled it up and quickly walked into the leather shop carrying a bucket of seawater.

Yingli and I walked into Uncle Fred's leather shop. The half-year-old child just poured seawater into the sink. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm. When he saw us walking in from outside, he stood up straight. body and asked me: "Two distinguished guests, what do you need?"

It seems that this half-year-old child has received some simple exercises, but his words are extremely awkward and should be rarely used.

I stood at the door of the leather shop and saw some ordinary leather armors and some ordinary leather products hanging in the shop. I asked the half-year-old child:

"I'm looking for Uncle Fred, is he here?"

The half-grown child scratched his shoulder with his hand in embarrassment, turned his head and shouted inside:

"Boss, there are two customers outside looking for you!"

Footsteps sounded, and Uncle Fred was seen walking out of the room wearing a leather apron and holding a skinning knife in his hand. Then he saw us standing at the door of the tannery shop and immediately greeted us enthusiastically:

"Jijia, Her Royal Highness Princess Yingli, why are you here?"

I walked up and hugged Uncle Fred and said:

"I just happened to pass by Haiyin Silk City, so I came here to see you and Sister Singer. Uncle Fred, how is the business of the leather shop recently?"

Uncle Fred invited me into the reception room next to the tannery shop, and while he ordered the underage shop assistant he hired to go to the backyard and ask his eldest wife to make a pot of lemon tea, he said to me:

"Thanks to your care, I am now sewing fish skin hoods every day. This kind of hood is also very popular among magicians in Haiyinsi. This is the main job in the leather shop. Of course, there are also some small businesses occasionally. Come on, life is much better now than before.”

As he spoke, his eyes were a little moist, and he hit his chest with his fist.

This kind of action is what the Northern Knights are used to doing when facing barbarians. He said:

"Jijia, there are simply no words to describe the gratitude in my heart."

Hearing Uncle Fred say this, I felt a little bit ashamed. I could actually make them live a better life. I said, "Uncle Fred, please stop saying that. Oh, by the way, Does Sister Singh own a grocery store?”

I changed the subject.

Uncle Fred was slightly excited and said:

"Her shop is on the Champs Elysées. I'm afraid you can't imagine how popular those magic rune boards you sent me are in Haiyin Silk City."

Yingli and I sat in Uncle Fred's leather shop for a while and then got up to leave. Uncle Fred knew that Catalina and I wanted to visit Sister Singer, so he asked the half-man in his shop to The eldest child temporarily put down his work and took us to Sister Singer's grocery store. Uncle De said one thing less, that is, Sister Singer’s grocery store is always crowded with customers. Although Sister Singer employs two salespersons, she is still very busy. She needs to take the trouble to introduce to the customers. commodities, and in the end there will be a more protracted tug-of-war over prices.

Sister Singh was also very happy to see us. She first saluted Princess Yingli, and then hugged Catalina tightly outside the grocery store. She shouted loudly: "Katrina, can you come and see me?" , I am so happy..."

She excitedly introduced this small grocery store to me, with a sense of accomplishment on her face. She was the kind of woman who would feel very satisfied with a little happiness, and her optimistic spirit could easily infect those around her. .

And I never expected that copper hotpot would be more popular in Haiyinsi City than in the Imperial Capital.

Then Sister Singh told us the reason. Haiyinsi City is originally a city on the water. The charcoal and firewood that the residents in the city need for daily life are all transported by sea ship from Feiwenbodola Mountain. , now that there are copper hot pots, many aristocratic families have replaced this new type of cooking utensils, and people in the city like to use this type of pots to cook seafood.

News of victory continues to come from the South Wind Legion. Most of the knights of the South Wind Legion are from Haiyinsi City and surrounding areas. The soldiers receive shining silver coins as military pay, but the rewards they receive are a lot of magic crystal fragments. , the continuous victory has made the magic crystal fragments in Haiyinsi City cheaper than anywhere else, so using a copper hot pot in Haiyinsi City is cheaper than burning charcoal.

It is for this reason that Copper Hot Pot became popular in Haiyinsi City in just two months.
