My Magic Age

Standing next to the turntable in the rest area, you can see the lush old trees in the magic academy in the distance. Some ancient buildings have emerged from the dreams woven by these emeralds, just like a garden in a dream. For the residents of El City, the Junior Magic Academy is the highest institution of learning in El City. Fanny, wearing a light gray uniform, stood next to the handrail of the stairs with her arms folded, looking absentmindedly in the direction of the Junior Magic Academy in the distance. She thought that maybe the awakening ceremony in the magic academy had already ended.

Fanny couldn't help but regret that she should have asked for leave to accompany Jia. Mrs. Tao Mi Luo in the next room asked for leave and didn't come. It was said that her son participated in the magic awakening ceremony today. The general manager personally signed the approval note and sent his own blessings. This must be said to be a very face-saving thing.

On weekdays, Mrs. Tomilo often boasted about her son, saying that he was a very talented child. Since he was sensible, Mrs. Tomilo has devoted a lot of effort to him, hiring painting and Chinese teachers for her son, and even made friends with the wife of a magician in El City. Occasionally, she would take her son to listen to the magician's stories about his past experiences. Fanny thought of Jijia at this time. She felt a little ashamed of her son who was picked up from the shelter when he was a child. Jijia was an introverted and honest child. If it was not necessary, he would even lock himself in the attic to read books all day, or use a magic carving knife to repeatedly paint on a piece of parchment. Fanny sometimes thought about finding a painter teacher for Jijia, but was repeatedly opposed by Jijia, Ryant, and Tracy. The three of them jointly opposed it. Their reasons were different, but for the Ryant family, democracy was important, and Fanny was not an arbitrary queen, so she let it go. Later, every time she heard Mrs. Tomiro talking about her son's painter teacher, Fanny always felt uncomfortable.

A few people stood in the rest area of ​​the turntable and walked out to get some fresh air. At this time, someone talked about today's magic awakening ceremony, so everyone was talking about friends and relatives. Someone also went to participate in the awakening ceremony. If you can get the favor of the goddess of luck, then you will really have no worries about food and clothing in this life.

Obviously, the Green Empire treats magicians very well. For civilians, the copper baronial badge is worth more than ten thousand gold. Nobility is a symbol of power, glory and money. Being able to become a noble is what every Green person pursues throughout his life.

Fanny leaned against the corner of the stairs and listened quietly. A lady who was very close to Mrs. Tomiro also mentioned Mrs. Tomiro's baby son, but it was the first time Fanny heard of these little stories.

"Mrs. Taomi Luo's son from our department also participated in the magic awakening ceremony today. It is said that this young man has great hope of becoming a magician. Mrs. Taomi Luo has spent more than 70 gold coins to buy five bottles of spiritual potion for her son in the past few months. She heard from her magician friend that drinking this kind of potion that improves spiritual power is very helpful for the awakening ceremony. But who can say for sure! Could it be that the favor of the goddess of luck will change because of a bottle of spiritual potion?" The lady was chattering about the news about Mrs. Taomi Luo.

"Wow! One bottle of mental potion is equivalent to our entire income for a whole year without food or drink. This price is a bit too high, not to mention buying five bottles at a time. If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to spend it. I would rather wait until my son grows taller and buy him a set of good quality magic antelope leather light armor and a good sword. This is the real thing!" Another middle-aged man said. He is the economic arbitration committee member of the arbitration office. He is the most economically minded among these people. It is said that he has made small gains in his repeated investments in recent years, and his wealth is increasing day by day. Although the soft hair on his head has decreased a little bit, his waist is getting thicker day by day, and his charm as a man has never decreased at all. Women don't lose their minds and stick to pretty boys when they see them. Sometimes, some successful and mature men are more likely to win the favor of ladies. At least they are mature enough and know what to do in the safest way.

"This price is really a bit high. I have never thought of buying any spiritual potion for our kid. He keeps shouting that he wants to be a knight. Maybe I can make some money now and buy him a young Guberai horse when he is sixteen years old. But speaking of it, the magic academy must be very lively today. I really want to go and take a look." Another middle-aged man who is slightly younger also said with emotion.

"That's right! When I mention the awakening ceremony, I think of the story of the awakening ceremony I participated in that year. If I hadn't been unable to adapt to the strong dizziness and vomiting caused by the invasion of magic elements into my body, maybe I would be a magician now! At that time, I got excellent results in all five rounds of tests. The teachers at the magic academy were very optimistic about me. Unfortunately, they said in the end that my mental power was too weak and I couldn't withstand the side effects caused by the invasion of magic elements into my body. So, I think Mrs. Tao Miro is very far-sighted. Maybe those mental potions are really useful." A civil arbitration committee member standing at the outermost edge of the turntable took over the topic. At this time, he turned around and saw Fanny, who was also standing quietly next to the stair railing for a breath of fresh air. He and Fanny were colleagues in the same department and had a harmonious relationship. He casually said, "Oh, Fanny, your son is twelve years old this year! Why didn't you accompany your son to the awakening ceremony?"

Fanny was a little embarrassed by the question. She was asking casually, but she touched her wound. Fanny seemed a little unnatural, and she forced a smile and said: "Tracy said she can take good care of Jia, I think they should Get more opportunities to be alone together. Tracy always has a little temper. You know she is not very easy to worry about. On the contrary, Jia is the most sensible child, but his personality is a bit introverted, but he does not seem to care too much about the awakening ceremony. thing."

"Oh my God, Fanny! Why didn't I know you actually had a twelve-year-old son!" Mrs. Taomilo's friend asked exaggeratedly. "

When Fanny saw that the matter could not be concealed, she simply said directly: "Five years ago, the child that Lent and I registered at the city hall for adoption was said to have been without parents since he was a child. He was very pitiful! His name is Jijia, and he is a very honest person. The children rarely go out.”

"I have seen the child Jiana. He is an unusually sensible and polite child. He also has very shiny black hair and a pair of eyes like shining stars in the dark night. He is a very good young man. If Your Tracy really doesn’t like this kid in the future, so I think I can introduce our Lilia to him. I’ve always had a good eye for people!” Fanny’s colleague saw Fanny’s expression and said: Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly made amends.

But it was obviously too late. Everyone still knew that Mrs. Fannie had adopted a country child. When Fannie was around, everyone just communicated with each other with their eyes and didn't want to say anything more. But this matter This is definitely a very good topic. We are all mature adults, so some things can’t be covered up just because we want to. Sometimes overreactions can make you look extra fishy.

"Speaking of which, those adopted children are still examples of wild and untamed children. Fannie, you have to be more thoughtful. You are good at everything, but sometimes you are too kind and trust others too easily. Can those children survive and go away? When I entered El City, I experienced far more things than the children who grew up in the city. I have a distant My cousin once adopted a child. Guess what happened? After the child turned 16, he took away all the valuable things in my distant relative’s house and disappeared like air! "Are you angry? A colleague raised a different opinion, and he said it so bluntly that Fanny turned green with anger.

For these tidbits, few people pay attention to their authenticity. As long as they have rich stories, they are worthy of serious discussion: "Wow~ That is really a bit wicked!"

Fanny didn't want to talk any more, so she wanted to find a less abrupt excuse to return to the work area. At this moment, the sound of "click-click" footsteps came from the stairs below. Very few people came from here at this time. Coming up, the people in the rest area stopped talking and glanced at the stairs from the corners of their eyes.

Mrs. Taomilo's plump body appeared at the top of the stairs. She looked a little tired, panting slightly as she climbed up to the third floor in one breath. However, when she saw a group of people on the turntable, she immediately raised her head like a rooster in a fighting state, straightened her body, walked up easily and rhythmically, and greeted everyone unhurriedly. .

Someone in the crowd began to ask: "Miss Taomiluo, I heard that your son participated in the awakening ceremony today. Do you have any good news for everyone?"

Mrs. Taomilo obviously didn't expect that she would be asked such pointed questions when she first arrived. If she had known that, she really shouldn't have come this time. She glanced at the person who asked the question with a smile, then took a breath and said very proudly: "Visa was not favored by the goddess of luck, but he is a very talented child. It's just a little bit of luck. Yes, he is a very good kid. What he lacks is the blessing of the goddess of luck. "

"That's such a pity!" Mrs. Taomilo's female friend said quickly.

"Hey! No, I passed the five rounds of tests very easily, but unfortunately there were still some problems. Visa said that he had seen the door to success at that time, but unfortunately it was only one step away from success. Hey, maybe I can still do it tomorrow I need to take a day off!" Mrs. Taomiluo said tactfully to the minister standing in the rest area.

"Visa will take the entrance exam for the Junior Warrior Academy of the Zhan Zhan Academy tomorrow. At this critical moment, I think I have to be by his side." Mrs. Taomiro was more like a gentle mother at this time. There is absolutely no judgment that an arbitration committee member has. She said this as if she was looking for a suitable excuse, and also as if she was telling herself to make her belief stronger.

"That's right. You are a good mother. I hope that the arbitration committee members working under me can be more humane. You can accompany your son to take the exam with peace of mind. Go with peace of mind!" The Minister in the rest area said, Mrs. Taomiro was almost moved to tears. This was a very important comfort to her. The failure of her son who had high hopes in this awakening ceremony was already a very big blow to her. Mrs. Taomiro It is precisely at this time that some comfort is most needed.

Mrs. Tomiro, who had focused on cultivating Visa since she was a child, had just failed in a huge gamble. At this time, someone wanted to comfort her.

"Don't be too sad. Originally, this kind of thing relied on the blessing of the goddess of luck! You have done a good job. Mrs. Fannie's son also participated in the awakening ceremony this year. You can see that she is calmer than you. She needs to be open-minded. That's it!" Mrs. Tomillo's female friend stepped forward to comfort her, but she seemed to have forgotten Fanny's feelings.

Fanny's heart was full of guilt for Jijia. At this time, someone hinted that she didn't care about her adopted son. It was intolerable for Fanny to comfort Mrs. Taomiro with such an example. The woman did not feel Fanny's angry eyes at all. Instead, she turned around and said to Fanny with a smile: "Mrs. Fanny, does your son also have to prepare for the exam tomorrow? I wonder if you also want to take leave to accompany him. He, but I seem to have heard that your husband is an instructor in a well-known college. Maybe your son will not have any difficulties in the exam tomorrow!"

"My husband is a swordsmanship instructor at Staines College, but my son has never thought about going to Staines College. He also has his own ideas. He said he is going to War College, and I don't care about him at all tomorrow. He could even face a brown bear alone in the forest without worrying about the exam!" After saying these words with a pale face, Fanny turned around and left the turntable in the rest area angrily.

Taomiluo didn't know the whole story, but she knew that her friend once complained about a small matter to Mrs. Fannie. Today's sarcastic words also made the woman next to her feel embarrassed. Added a lot of smiles. Her friend watched triumphantly as Mrs. Fannie returned stiffly to the office area, a smile on her lips.

"You said she was a little too much. We are colleagues after all! Her and I are in neighboring departments, and we always look up but never look down at each other. This will make it awkward for us to meet in the future!" Mrs. Taomiluo complained to her friend.

The woman rolled her eyes and said, "What's the matter? You have to stand by me! I've been dissatisfied with her for some time! I've long wanted to choke her with my words. Haha! That's right! Yes, I heard that her son also participated in the awakening ceremony today, but obviously this woman did not She didn't have high hopes, and she didn't even go to take a look. However, for a child of a swordsmanship instructor, becoming a magician was really a dream. , maybe you will have a chance to meet again tomorrow!"

"Ah, her child also participated in the awakening ceremony? Is she also going to enter the warrior school of the Zhan Zhan Academy? Do you know the name of her child? Maybe he will become classmates with Visa in the future. You, this mouth is really Disgusting, I don’t want to find Visa for him before he enters school. It's better to make more friends when you go to school. It will be easier to form a team when you practice in the future!" Mrs. Taomiluo would always put Visa's affairs first when talking about anything. location, she is now thinking about her son's future campus life.

"Hey, what's her son's name?" The woman poked Fanny's colleague who turned to leave and asked.

It seemed a bit rude not to answer other people's questions, so Fanny's colleague said: "It should be called Jijia! Fanny always calls him that!"

"Yes, yes, that's this weird name. It sounds like the name of the indigenous people of the orc tribe." The woman muttered softly. Several people on the side were a little uncomfortable. After all, some people were familiar with Fanny, and they were not willing to listen to words that were not conducive to Fanny.

This break is coming to an end, and people are getting ready to leave and return to their work areas.

"Jiga!" Mrs. Taomiro's tone increased from low to high, and the final tone seemed to be able to penetrate the roof.

The friend looked at her in a daze, but Mrs. Taomiro's eyes were a little dull, her lips trembled a little, and she said to her friend: "If no one else is using the name Jijia, I will miss her child." He is the child who was selected by the magic director Godfrey to be the first to awaken the magic pool."

"..."

"Awakened the magic pool?"

"..." The woman's eyes were a little dark. She had just faced the mother of a magician and made sarcastic remarks.

Watching Fanny's retreating figure, the woman hesitated, wondering whether she should follow her...
