My Magic Age

This is a high-end restaurant located not far to the left of the parliament hall. It may not be evening yet, so there are not many people inside. The rough wooden dining table can even be covered with a starched white tablecloth. A basket of seasonal flowers and fruits can also be placed on the wooden table, showing that this restaurant also has some taste.

The grilled yellow lamb chops here are very famous, not because of the exquisite skills of the chefs here, but because the cooked lamb chops are tender, juicy and extremely delicious. This place is also famous for its expensive dishes. Only noble men with a few gold coins in their pockets are willing to spend money here.

The mutton chops here are all brought from a tribe rich in yellow sheep in the western wilderness. It is said that the tribe has successfully domesticated these wild yellow sheep into domestic animals. The meat of this kind of farmed yellow sheep is fat, tender and juicy, and the shop owner is even more demanding. Lamb chops are always cooked from lambs that have been growing for one and a half years.

There was a middle-aged human warrior sitting by the window of the restaurant. He squinted his eyes and took a sip of beer. His drunken eyes glanced around. There was a heavy scimitar hanging on the iron hook by the window. This weapon was not Uncommon, there is a small fingernail as big as a fingernail embedded in the guard of the knife handle. The small magic crystal, the entire scimitar is engraved with exquisite magic patterns. The steak on the table was only half eaten before being pushed aside. The hand wrapped in white silk slowly knocked on the top of the wooden table, the rhythm was like It is a melody from a folk song that Qige often sings.

I sat opposite him, concentrating on a plate of tender, browned lamb chops, not daring to look at him. Qige on the side didn't even have the courage to hold a table knife. She lowered her head and looked at her hands like a quail. Catalina stood aside, holding a bottle in her hand and obediently filling his glass with beer.

This middle-aged warrior didn't have any aura on his body. If it weren't for the scimitar hanging on his belt, he looked more like a noble or a magician. However, Qige secretly told me that he had just been promoted to the temple last year. For the Dark Knight. This nobleman who stepped off the airship was, to be precise, Qige's brother-in-law, and he was here to take Qige home. I had expected this day for a long time, but I didn't expect it to come so early. It is said that Chichidaniya is also a legendary figure in the imperial capital. He is now in charge of the business affairs of the Qige family. Normally, Qige's father has basically handed over all business affairs to Qige's brother-in-law.

Although Chichidania left Aetia with his eldest brother since he was a child and came to study in the Green Empire, this nobleman with the blood of the Aetian nation flowing in his body still loves his homeland very much, so for us to spread Rumors about the art of making salt came to Aetia, and they were very dissatisfied.

"Tell me, what's the art of making salt? Where did you learn it?" The middle-aged man's beard was neatly trimmed, and there were no stains on the collar and cuffs of his white shirt. His clothes were full of fine details. The embroidery, even the buttons are engraved with exquisite mandala branches. He speaks Imperial dialect very nicely, with a very gentle and thick voice.

Qige raised her head slightly and glanced at me, but said nothing. Kurtz and I made up a random lie, saying that the salt-making technique was an ancient secret recipe passed down from the Aetia Empire, which caused Qige trouble. As we said at noon, Chichidaniya sent someone to find us before dinner and handed a letter to Qige. Then Qige behaved like a little kitten and took me here. Meet his uncle in a restaurant.

Originally we had made an appointment to go to the Death Swamp together to see the glass beasts there, but now it seems that we are almost in trouble.

I quickly swallowed the food in my mouth, blinked my innocent eyes and said, "We came up with it ourselves in the Beilu Wasteland. We were afraid that no one would believe us, so we just made up a lie. We want to tell them the truth. Come, but they are more willing to believe our lies.”

Knight Chichidaniya looked at me deeply, which made me feel that all the hairs on my body stood up. The look that penetrated people's soul was really uncomfortable. He pondered for a while before saying: "I don't think much about this matter." I want to pursue it. After all, our family does not deal in salt. However, Qi, you must return to the imperial capital with me this time. You have been away for a long time. "

Qige glanced at her brother-in-law carefully and then said calmly: "I know! Uncle."

I originally thought that Miss Qi was definitely a willful and rebellious girl, but I never expected that she didn't even have a word of excuse. It was clear that we were going to the Death Swamp after we talked. I quickly asked her: "Didn't you agree that you want to go to the Drowning Pond with me to watch the orcs dance the war dance?"

Qige looked at Chichidaniya pitifully, her aggrieved and pleading eyes made the noble knight hesitate in his eyes, but he still shook his head and said: "You still want to take part in elementary magic." It is the graduation ceremony of the college. You still have to use the last bit of time to complete your studies. If you cannot be admitted to the Green Royal Academy of Magic with excellent results, then our agreement will be invalidated. This cannot be discounted in any way. You know. , I guaranteed it for you in front of your father.”

"How about we ask this good friend of yours to come with us to visit the imperial capital?" Chichidaniya invited me.

When Qi Ge heard this, her eyes brightened up. She nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, and looked at me expectantly. Catalina stood aside and her breathing quickened. She secretly winked at me, hinting that I should agree quickly.

Obviously, the reactions of the two women were a bit beyond Chichidaniya's expectations. He had no idea that a wilderness travel companion like me would be so valued by Qige. He said to Qige thoughtfully: "I am very curious about your trip to the wasteland. Maybe you can tell me something during your free time on the airship."

"Don't be too busy rejecting me! Maybe I can talk to your guardian, and maybe you will change your mind." Chichidaniya saw my firm eyes, but at this time his niece Qige's eyes dimmed, and she said I quickly added before opening my mouth.

"I have had no parents since I was a child. It was Old Kuru who picked me up at the edge of the Burning Forest. Oh! Old Kuru is Kuz's grandfather and an old orc from the Blood Wolf Clan." I looked calmly. said.

Chichidaniya was not surprised that I was an orphan. He was more curious about my future plans. Then he asked, "I'm sorry. So, do you plan to live in Gurudin Town in the future?"

I shook my head again and said honestly: "I want to go back to her hometown with my sister."

"Oh!" Chichidanya said with a long voice and raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qige. He obviously understood the meaning of my sentence: "Follow my sister back to her hometown." It is obvious that the sister is not a biological sister because it is her hometown. So Chichidaniya asked Qige again with her eyes: Is that so?

Qige nodded silently and whispered: "I have persuaded him several times, but he has his own ideas."

Chichidanya smiled gently, his face always had the domineering look of those successful men, and it always showed up unconsciously. He said to Qige: "Haha, you young people are always a little willful, but you should tell your friends that the living environment in the imperial capital will be better, and you can give him some care in life. Are you afraid that my uncle will not do it?" Help you? Whether it’s studying or living, the environment in Imperial City is very good.”

It seems that this noble knight loves his niece very much, and is even willing to take me with him in order to allow Qige to leave the Pai Plateau without any regrets. Facing the enthusiastic Qi Ge, I didn’t know how to refuse, so I could only bow my head and remain silent. I have also thought about my future path, and I also know the various hints in Qige's words. I may live a good life in the imperial capital, but that is not the life I want.

"Sister Guoguo and I have made an appointment!" I said quietly, but I'm sure both of us heard it clearly.

This is the reason I told Qige. In fact, there is really no good reason. If I have to give a more far-fetched reason, in fact, I don’t want to be unable to hold my head up in front of Qige and live with old Kulu and Kuz. After a long time, it is inevitable that the werewolves of the orc tribe will have the same attitude towards life, and they are not used to accepting charity from others.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Chichidaniya could only drink the last sip of wine in the glass, then turned to Qige and said to her: "The airship will set off the day after tomorrow morning. To wait for you, our airship is already at Gulu It’s been nearly a month since I arrived at Ding Kong Port. If you need anything, I can help you!”

Qige didn't say anything, just looked at Chichidaniya, her eyes full of prayer.

"Okay! Three days, only three days. You know I can't delay for too long. I'll give you three more days!"

After Chichidaniya finished speaking, he nodded to me and gave me a slight signal, stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Qige and I were left sitting at the dining table in relative silence. In fact, everything we needed to say had already been said, and I had already prepared for it. On the rainy night before, when Catalina held me in the rain, I felt that she had a kind of sadness when parting.

I don't know when, but on the street outside the window, night watchmen have climbed up the ladder and lit the gas lamps one by one.

"Let's go to the potion store tomorrow! Let's buy some more ice grass."

"kindness!"

"If you hunt swamp zombies, remember to send me some corpse fire oil. Do you know my address?"

"kindness!"

"We agreed to meet again at Greene Royal Academy of Magic, right?"

"Please, Miss Qi, you will have already graduated by the time I get in, okay?"

"Maybe I will become a teacher in the college, and then you will be my student..."

"..."

To be honest, I am used to living with Qige and Catalina, and when they are really about to leave, I will always feel various kinds of reluctance in my heart. The relationship between us sometimes goes beyond the boundaries of friendship, and occasionally there is a little ambiguity. I can only pretend to be a child who doesn't understand anything in embarrassment. In fact, when it comes to it, I am really a child.

The reason why I kept rejecting Qige's invitations was actually because of my own lack of confidence.

I kept telling myself: You have your own life. There are too many differences between you. You are a wanderer who is not even a poor person, and she is the little princess of the imperial aristocracy. On the Pai Plateau, no one cares about each other's identities, but that doesn't work in the Imperial City. You need to look up at everyone. When you get there, you will be bruised and bruised by power and wealth. Maybe as time goes by, the last of you will be lost. His dignity was completely torn apart.

At that time, the magic awakening ceremony will make me have one foot in heaven and one foot in hell. After successfully awakening the magic pool, everything will be fine, at least I will have a chance to fight. If it fails, everything about love and noble princesses will be a joke.

It is better to turn these unforgettable stories into beautiful memories so that she can still think of me at some point. This night seemed very long, and the two crescent silver moons were reluctant to climb out. I sat on the balcony railing and looked up at the stars in the sky. Qige lay on a rattan chair with a thin blanket covering her legs, looking at the lights on the street.

Three days later...

The sun came out from the clouds, covering the light gray clouds with a layer of golden rays of light. The dazzling sunlight made me squint my eyes. I covered my eyebrows with my hands. I stood on the hillside not far from the airport and waved hard to the distance. I knew that Katrina must be looking at me. The alfalfa on the slope grew higher than my knees. Crystal dewdrops hung on the leaves of the alfalfa. When the wind blew, the leaves swayed gently. The dewdrops rolled lightly, wet my linen trouser legs, and wrapped around my legs coldly and wetly, making it difficult for me to move.

The heavy whistle startled the seagulls on the distant wasteland and they flew north desperately. A giant airship slowly left the Guludin Airport. Its nearly 100-meter-long airbag was painted with nine lifelike red flames. I clearly remember Qi Ge telling me that it was the tail of a nine-tailed fox. At this time, my heart suddenly felt empty.

When I saw Qi Ge quietly walking onto the airship in a noble royal dress in a court style, I knew she was really leaving.

Sister Guo Guo stood beside me, put her hands on my shoulders, and said to me: "Let's go."

There was a Yagui beast quietly eating grass at the bottom of the hillside. Kuz was standing next to it waiting for me. Several heavy wooden magic boxes were tied to the back of the Yagui beast. I looked to the east. Not far away, the beastwomen of the Laitu tribe rode argali in a long line and headed east silently. After three days of preparation, Kuz and I were going to set off again with the Laitu tribe to the Death Swamp.

When I walked down the hillside, maybe the north wind blew my eyes, I don't know why tears suddenly flowed out.

"It's not like we won't see each other! In a few years, our Jia will be admitted to the Royal Magic Academy, maybe you will meet in the magic academy. Oh, by the way, we can also write to her..."

Sister Guoguo followed me and kept comforting me. I lowered my head, afraid that others would see my tears.

A dandelion grew in the grass not far from my feet. At this time, a gust of wind blew gently, and the fluffy snow-like balls suddenly exploded, and small parachutes flew all over the sky. They carried the seeds and drifted away with the wind. My eyes also followed those dandelions and drifted away.
