My Magic Age

I just asked the woman how long it had been since she left Sloyte City. I wasn't trying to divert her attention, but I really found a colorful rain butterfly on the tip of her hair. This butterfly was originally just an insect with a very beautiful appearance, but in the past two or three years, a mutation occurred in the body of this butterfly. The specific reason is unknown, but this butterfly suddenly has the ability to cause hallucinations. In the past two years, there have been dozens of cases of people being led into a fantasy by the colorful rain butterfly, losing themselves and dying inexplicably. When the city of El holds an event to popularize knowledge of outdoor survival every year, this dangerous butterfly will be put on the podium and mentioned many times.

They usually have some colorful patterns on their wings, and their traces can often be found in the wild around El City. I remember that three years ago, Tracy, a sophomore at Staines College, followed the club to the wild to collect insect specimens. At that time, their team had captured a colorful rain butterfly in the wild. She once took the glass bottle containing the colorful rain butterfly specimen and showed it off to me for a long time, which left a deep impression on me. The brighter pattern on the rain butterfly is almost identical to the butterfly on the woman's hair.

As to why the colorful rain butterfly turned into a dangerous insect, the famous biologists and magic scholars in the province of Sloyte did not give a clear answer. They were divided into two camps. Biologists believed that this was the best proof of the theory of species evolution. Humans learned magic, which was the progress of human civilization and the evolution of humans themselves. The colorful rain butterfly itself had the magical ability of hallucination, which also showed that it was evolving. Biologists believed that the evolution of the colorful rain butterfly would reveal the mystery of the magic beasts on the Roland continent.

However, magic scholars did not think so. They believed that the reason for the change of the colorful rain butterfly was because of the cursed land in the mountains near the castle. The extreme ecological environment there changed the physical characteristics of many species around it. For example, the trees there had turned into blood-sucking tree monsters, and many unknown strange creatures grew there. Some golden apple trees even turned into burnt fruits with flames all over their bodies. Then why can't these colorful rain butterflies living around the cursed land be said to be caused by the environment of the cursed land?

The demon blood in the cursed land is constantly spreading, causing the cursed land to expand continuously in recent decades. Now it has completely engulfed the castle built by magicians in the magic guild in the ivory tower of Sloyte City. Recently, the Magicians Association in the north has been studying how to suppress the spread of demon blood in the cursed land, but with little success.

In short, this kind of colorful rain butterfly that can cause hallucinations is real. I actually saw one on the tip of the woman's hair. She didn't seem to care much about the butterfly on her body, and the colorful rain butterfly may have slowly affected her, causing her mind to automatically block the image of the rain butterfly. In her eyes, it is very likely that the butterfly is invisible.

Residents in the north who have a little common sense in the wild can avoid contact with such beautiful butterflies at the beginning. These colorful rain butterflies have no attack power or toxicity, so they are very easy to prevent. This is why I asked the woman if she hadn't walked out of Sloyte City for a long time. She seemed to have no idea about some changes in the biosphere around Sloyte Province in recent years.

The woman chased me, almost without any need to identify the direction, and directly passed through the dense reeds, stopping me again. At this time, the smile on her face was gone, and there seemed to be a trace of annoyance. The lightning did not cause any harm to her. I don’t know how she avoided such an instant magic attack. I forced a grin and asked her: "Why are you still chasing me? Didn’t I say that I don’t want to go back with you? I can use magic. If you chase me again, I will really be rude to you!"

She curled her lips and ignored me. She just reached out and pulled out a rope from her waist. This hemp rope looked very familiar. After a moment, I remembered that I had seen such hemp ropes on those barbarians. It should be made of a very flexible hay. This kind of rope is specially prepared by barbarians to capture human slaves. With the strength of ordinary people, being tied up with this kind of rope is impossible to break free.

I bit my lower lip gently and retreated little by little. I held a slingshot in my hand and slowly pulled the rubber band.

Unfortunately, I lost my silver-plated shotgun at Baipu Cliff. Later, I tried to use a bow and arrow, but I had no talent for archery. No matter how I practiced, I couldn't shoot accurately. Later, I slowly gave up. Even Ryant comforted me and said: It's not shameful not to be able to shoot arrows. As long as you practice swordsmanship with me, maybe in the future, I will give you a real exquisite shotgun from the dwarf workshop when you graduate! Unfortunately, I haven't got his shotgun yet. Ryant said that I was too young and the shotgun would be after graduation.

The woman who was chasing me with a slingshot was a bit of a joke in her eyes, just like two children fighting. This kind of toy in the hands of children is not powerful at all. The slingshot is just a kind of hunting bird. For slightly larger birds, the slingshot seems to have no power. Sometimes, older children prefer to hunt birds with bows and arrows.

When she saw me take out my slingshot and warn her seriously, she didn't take it seriously at all, and even forgot that I had just cast a lightning spell. Although it didn't seem to cause any harm to her, it was still magic after all!

I don't think she should look down on me.

But she said to me very persistently: "My name is Lina, I am Miss Mansa's maid. I just want to take you back to the camp this time, but I don't want to hurt you. You are a smart child. You should know What's the difference in strength between us! Should you follow me, or should I tie you up, throw you on the back of a horse, and take you away like this?"

The beautiful woman had a seductive smile. I originally thought she was wearing a black necklace around her neck, but she stopped in front of me and let me see clearly: that necklace was not a necklace, but a tattoo directly on her neck. black pattern. If I guessed correctly, it is the magic pattern structure on her body, which can also be said to be the magic pattern array. Intermediate or above inscription masters use special magic ink to draw the magic pattern array directly on the skin of the human body. This kind of The magic pattern array generally enhances the special abilities of some parts of the body. Magical constructs, such as increasing running speed, physical recovery speed, defense or directly increasing strength, etc. Sister Guoguo let me see her magic pattern construct, her 'primary magic recovery circle' It's a seal carved on the lower abdomen, about the size of a coconut. Unexpectedly, the woman in front of me would carve a magic pattern structure seal on her neck.

She has a strong sense of self-confidence, but she doesn't know that even if my magic skill "Fire Tongue Weapon" is attached to a pebble, the additional fire splash damage can turn a pheasant into a roast chicken. .

My affinity for fire magic elements has continued to grow in the past few years, and with it, the flame splash damage of the "Fire Tongue Weapon" has also increased significantly. The moment it touches the opponent, the stone will instantly Exploding, if the copper pea is shot with a shotgun, there will be a secondary impact. But if it were just a pebble on an ordinary slingshot, then the entire pebble would be completely shattered. Once, I met a bear in the wild, and I just used a slingshot to shoot a stone into its face. The exploding stone blinded its eyes. That time, I finally understood the meaning of "tongues of fire". What kind of power does "weapon" have?

"Don't underestimate my slingshot, I don't want to hurt you." I warned her, but there was no murderous intention in her eyes. I could see that even if she was hit by my instant lightning magic, it would only be She was slightly sullen, but she still didn't have any murderous intent. Maybe she was hiding it well enough, but I felt that she really didn't want to do anything to me.

She put her right hand on her waist and approached me step by step. She held the rope with her other hand and said to me: "Come back with me. You can't escape. I'm officially registered in the Assassin's Guild." Assassin, I saw how you saved the guard group. You have proven that you are not an accomplice of those bandits. This time I just want to take you to make it clear to Mansa. They have never wanted to harm you. , originally we suspected that you deliberately let Moras escape from the castle. You escaped from there and deliberately approached Moras, but now all this can be explained clearly. I will also help you testify that it was you who single-handedly saved the entire Sloit Guard Group and Jingyue Aili. You know what this means. What are you talking about? The entire Aili family owes you a big favor, so you don’t have to worry about your safety. Besides, it’s the first time I’ve seen such an excellent shaman like you, and you’re still so young, so you don’t have to. Don’t worry about your safety.”

I think: She probably still doesn’t understand how unique it is for a young shaman or magician apprentice to release magic skills non-stop all night long, even if she is dictating it to them. , how could they believe it? Even if they believe what I say, they will take me directly back to the Magic Guild in Sloit City. They will press me on the experimental table and dissect me like a white mouse to study how my body is different from others. What's the difference? And I am indeed different from others. I haven't participated in the magic awakening ceremony yet, so it doesn't count. A shaman or magic apprentice is just an ordinary person. It’s just that an ordinary person like me happens to have magic in his body, and I can also use these simple spells. This in itself is very contrary to the Magic Guild’s view of magic. By the definition of a teacher, I am actually an outlier, or a heretic.

I shook my head repeatedly, and then said to her softly: "I don't want to explain anything. I didn't do anything wrong. I just saved an old magician and his daughter who were trapped in the castle. If If I have to be questioned and investigated by you, okay! I regret what I did! I'm sorry, I don't want to follow you. If you follow me again, it's hard for me to guarantee that I won't hurt you next time. ! So please stop following me!"

Before I finished speaking, the corner of Lina's mouth curled up, and she said to me playfully: "If you can really stop me from pestering me, or defeat me from the front, then I won't do it again." I’m following you! Do you dare to try, but I will catch you when the time comes, so don’t cry if it hurts you!”

I didn't expect that she would despise me like this. Even though she now mistakenly thinks that I am an ordinary low-level shaman and witch doctor, she still does not take me seriously. I don't know where she comes from with such confidence. However, the three words "assassin" echoed in my mind again. This is the most common qualification certificate for the Assassin's Guild, but its main applicant must be at least a qualified agile warrior, and it also requires a series of very complicated trial activities.

Just like Weiru's application for the status of a demon hunter in the Archers Guild, it was an extraordinary thing.

But I think she is just a little flower in the hotbed. She is just like those academic magicians, possessing powerful magical power and a wide variety of magic skills. But on the real battlefield, far away Just like the magicians who accompany the army, these people lack actual combat experience.

"Are you sure you want to try my method?" I asked her with my eyes wide open.

She nodded confidently and put on a defensive posture. Just when I took a deep breath and prepared to pull the slingshot out again, her body suddenly disappeared. It was a visual illusion. , my magic perception can clearly feel that the magic elements in the air are pushed away by her disembodied figure, leaving only her shadow in place.

I can feel it, but it doesn't mean that I can react in time. Her speed is too fast. My perception can keep up with her speed, but it is impossible for my movements to keep up with her. I even I felt like I was a big, slow-growing tree, and Lina was the child running under the tree. The difference between my movements and hers was like a Milky Way.

I clearly knew that she suddenly appeared behind me, but I didn't even have a chance to move aside.

I can even feel her proud smile, but people like me are not willing to admit defeat, after all! She already knew the secret of my magic, and she knew that my magic was a magic that could be used by an orc shaman, so she naively thought that I was a shaman who was the most junior level, almost the same as a magic apprentice. . Therefore, when I use magic skills in front of her, I suddenly feel that there is no burden and I can let go!

This feeling of being without any restraints is so good. Although I can't keep up with her in movements, my sharp thinking is not slow at all, which means that my mental power is not generally strong. At the beginning, Old Kuru guessed my mental strength. It is not entirely unfounded to say that the strength may be three to five times that of an adult.

"Resist the ring of fire" - this is not that I have to shout the name of the magic skill when I cast magic, but I am telling what kind of magic I used.

In fact, I didn't have time to make any movement at all. I just sent the fire magic element in my body into the tiger's eye stone drum tied around my waist immediately. The hot breath rushed towards me, like standing still. At the crater, feel the sulfur-filled hot air blowing against your face.

This is fire magic, and it is also a full-angle push-off skill. The irresistible force suddenly spreads around like an air cannon. Lina, wearing a tight-fitting suit with a confident smile on her face, appeared behind me. The next moment, a huge wave-like push pushed her away.

She watched in surprise as her body was pushed out several meters without any resistance. At this time, I was able to turn around and continue to drill into the reed pond. How could she let me go so easily? She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and slammed into the air wave in front of her body. She actually split the air wave directly, and the huge thrust spread to both sides. She rubbed her body And he caught up with me in the last two steps.

I jumped forward and jumped into the shallow water of the reed pond. The moment I soared into the air, I turned around and gave her a slingshot. In fact, I was very worried that this stone would ruin her beautiful appearance and make her completely angry. After all, getting angry is not a good thing, so he reminded me: "Be careful!"

However, her voice was obviously a little late. She had already waved her fist to push the pebble away, but when her fist touched the pebble, the pebble filled with the power of the fire element suddenly exploded, and the bursting flames flew everywhere. , and actually included Lina in it.
