My Magic Age

After listening to my story, knowing that I was here to save her, Ying Li seemed particularly happy. A faint smile hung on her fair face, and her big crescent-shaped eyes blinked, just as clear and transparent as the water of the Benma River. She swam forward with all her strength, her white body rising and falling in the waves, jumping out of the water like a carp, and then diving into the river, creating white waves.

This was just a misunderstanding. Ying Li and her good friends just came to the Benma River to swim and relax. The magic earrings left at the back door of the academy were just an accident. Probably when they were playing on the caravan, they were scratched by the door of the caravan, and Ying Li hardly noticed it. As for the magic badge in the grass, Ying Li also felt very strange. Obviously, her magic badge was pinned on her magic robe! So what about the magic badge in my hand?

We decided to swim to the shore to have a look. The girls were left far behind us. They swam to the center of the river. On such a rainy day, the sky was full of dark clouds, just like an ink painting. The sky was already like dusk under the thick ink.

I followed her, paddling hard with both hands, and asked again: "It's so late, the city gates are closed, how are you going to go home?"

"At most, we can stay in the magic caravan for one night. The daily necessities in it are very complete and very convenient. It belongs to my brother, he has some money." Ying Li said it in a euphemistic way. Do I know how rich a family must be to have such a domesticated magic beast pulling a cart?

I was surprised to see Mansa and her two maids riding on the flaming warhorse in the Moxiang team before, but now I can't even call out the name of this cart-pulling beast. I didn't expect these girls to be so willful that they didn't go home for a night, and they were swimming on the northernmost border of Schroit Province. You know, those brutal barbarians are on the other side of the river.

Seeing that Ying Li had already swam far away, I splashed the water vigorously and chased after her.

"I like to hide in the river and listen to the sound of raindrops hitting the water, just like the sound of drums!" She said to me beside her.

Ying Li swam around in the water, as flexibly as a barracuda. ​​She poked her head out of the water, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and said with a smile: "Whenever I feel bad, I really want to swim. Hiding in the warm river is like getting into my mother's arms. It's warm and comfortable, and it will make me forget all my troubles. Jia, do you have any troubles?"

"Well, yes! For example, Assistant Teacher Moraya asked me to attend the dance together. Although I also want to attend the dance with you, I don't know how to refuse her. This is my trouble!" I said after her.

Ying Li's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she quickly rolled her eyes at me, angrily saying: "You are a slick guy!" But she didn't seem to be angry at all.

At this time, the rain cleared up, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sun in the western clouds only showed half of its face, dyeing half of the sky red. The heavy rain buried all traces on the beach, leaving only the footprints of the two of us on the beach, neatly arranged in two rows.

We walked side by side on the thin and soft white beach. She threw her wet long hair behind her head, tilted her head, gently patted her earlobe with one hand, and jumped forward step by step on one foot. Her figure is not tall, and her legs are not slender enough. The body of a twelve-year-old girl has not fully developed, but she has fair skin, and her calves and arms are round like jade. I didn't expect that she, who looks ordinary, has a unique flavor.

I found that the wet magic robe was covered with mud and sand, and it was thrown on the beach like a rag. When I picked it up, it kept dripping down. I frowned. It seems that this magic robe cannot be worn for the time being. I took out the magic badge and magic earrings from the pocket of the clothes and put them in her palm.

"It's really my badge. Where did you pick it up?"

"At the fork in the road at the foot of Antia Mountain, in the grass beside the road."

"It turned out to be there. We originally wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty, but then we saw that it was going to rain, so we decided to go swimming in the river."

"Aren't you worried about the barbarians on the other side?"

"I'm a magic apprentice. How can I be afraid of those stupid barbarians? Besides, Helena's swordsmanship is also very powerful. Even if they can come from the other side of the river, we can beat them!"

After wringing out the wet magic robe, I hung it on a dead branch, hoping that the robe would be a little drier before nightfall, otherwise I would only be able to wear a half-dry robe to spend the night. We walked upstream along the white sandy beach along the Pegasus River. Even though we looked at each other in silence, we felt very happy.

Until the last ray of sunlight was swallowed by darkness, only the gurgling sound of water rang in my ears, and there was a last ray of light that could reflect the ripples of the river. A bonfire was lit next to the caravan in the distance. Several girls sat around the bonfire, talking and laughing. A pot of thick soup was already emitting white steam, and the fragrance drifted far away.

My magic robe was hanging alone on a wooden rack beside me. It looked like it had been washed very clean and was about to be dried. At this time, I remembered that I was only wearing a pair of embarrassing boxer shorts. I didn't feel cold at all when standing in the night wind, and Ying Li was also wearing that cool swimsuit tightly.

When we returned to the caravan, Becky had prepared two bowls of hot soup for us, and Lagertis also came up to help Yingli put on a long skirt. Yingli hurriedly put on the long skirt, complaining: "It's so cold this evening. I didn't feel it when I stayed in the water, but walking on the river bank, the wind really chilled me to the bone!"

"Why didn't you mention it just now?" We walked all the way, and Yingli didn't complain about the cold.

Yingli looked at me and said confidently: "I didn't feel it just now!"

She walked to the campfire and sat down, lowered her head and put the hot soup aside, and then said: "Let's go back to El City tonight! There is still a class on "Basic Knowledge of Magic Runes" tomorrow morning, and I don't want to be late!"

"You said you wanted to relax, and you are also the one who wants to leave. I know, I'll listen to you!" Becky squatted in front of Yingli and put a pair of exquisite leather boots on her feet.

I think Yingli's girlfriends are really accommodating to her, and it seems that they are together almost every day and have never been apart. The most important point is that these girls seem to be from the imperial capital as well, but I don't understand why these girls choose to study at the Junior Warrior Academy of the War Academy in El City. There are countless better schools in the imperial capital, much better than the War Academy.

The War Academy is just the best school in El City. The reason why it is famous is that this school holds a grand magic awakening ceremony every year. I can understand why Ying Li came here, because if a noble child like her wants to become a magician, if she fails to successfully awaken the magic pool in a magic ceremony in a certain place, they will go to other places and participate in the magic awakening ceremony again until they successfully awaken the magic pool.

Ying Li came to El City for a reason that cannot be refused, and staying here to study is also an unwritten rule of these magic academies, that is, awakeners from all over the world must complete their studies at the Junior Magic Academy there. Ying Li has a reason to stay here, but her besties don't have a special reason. Especially Helena, her swordsmanship can be said to have been instructed by a famous teacher. Ryant is the instructor who teaches Western rapier. Under his influence, although I can't even learn the basics of swordsmanship, I still have a vision. Helena, a girl who was rated as the new generation of school belle among the freshmen of the War College, is actually a very good swordsman.

During these contacts, I gradually discovered that the real leader of this small team is actually Ying Li.

Her proposals have never been rejected, and these girls have no thoughts about the love letters and notes that are like snowflakes. This also makes me a little confused. Are the top students in our college really that bad?

This caravan runs very smoothly. I didn't expect that Lagetis is also a great driver. I haven't learned this. Uncle Fred is a good driver. He can even control the Thunder Rhino, but I have never learned such a skill. Old Kuru thinks I shouldn't learn this, so I gave up at that time.

In the night, the towering Antia Mountain was like a dark sky. Our carriage bypassed the location of the temple and drove all the way to the city of El.

After a while, a strong floral scent came from the window. When I came here during the day, the talkative coachman told me that this was the rose garden, and there were a lot of roses planted in the whole yard.

Yingli and Becky were playing magic flying chess at this time. I sat on Yingli's side to watch the game, and Helena sat next to Becky. It can be seen that their flying chess skills are about the same. They fought fiercely together, but Becky just came up with a wonderful move and took the advantage. Unexpectedly, Yingli cheated at the last moment and messed up the chessboard, ending this long-lasting war.

Maybe it was because of a game of chess that the two people were dizzy from fighting. Becky suggested stopping and taking a walk in the rose garden under the stars. I think it is not a wise thing to enter the garden with swaying tree shadows in the middle of the night. But Yingli was so excited that he forced me to go with Becky.

Lagertis needed to look after the caravan, and it was not wise to leave it alone at night. Helena stayed with Lagertis because she was worried that Lagertis would be scared alone at night. Lagertis parked the carriage outside the shrub wall of the rose garden, and the body of the carriage was tightly attached to the shrub wall that was trimmed very neatly and more than one person high.

When we got out of the carriage, we found that the wooden fence of the rose garden was covered with white roses. These thorny roses formed a natural barrier that completely isolated the garden from the outside world. At this late hour, the owner of the garden would definitely not welcome us to enter the rose garden from the main gate, so the three of us were ready to climb over the wall.

For girls, this was a novel, bold and adventurous action. I was like a monkey, standing on the shaft of the car, hooking my hands on the waterproof edge of the roof, gently tightening my abdomen, and pulling my body upward with both arms. When I reached a sufficient height, I turned over and squatted on the steel frame of the caravan, leaned down, grabbed Ying Li's hand, and pulled her onto the roof of the caravan.

Then Becky was pulled up by me. She didn't have any shy expression. Instead, she looked at me generously and smiled at me, without any taboos. I didn't dare to rush into this rose garden rashly, because this rose garden is very famous in Ayr City, and the owner of the garden is said to be a noble in the city.

All residents of El City know such a story. The original owner of this garden was a farmer who made a living by selling flowers. They opened up a large piece of wasteland here to plant roses and other kinds of flowers. This place is not far from the cemetery in El City. It is said that there are some undead creatures in the cemetery. Every night they will run out of the cemetery and hunt everywhere. The family of five did not listen to the advice of others and insisted on guarding this rose garden. Unexpectedly, one night, the whole family was killed by those undead creatures. Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the rose garden, that is, at night, visitors are prohibited from entering and leaving at will.

As for the daytime, the conditions are much more relaxed. Anyone who comes to the rose garden to appreciate the roses is allowed to pick roses. As long as they don’t throw them away or sell them, the roses in the garden can be picked at will. But after dusk, the rose garden will be closed.

The entire rose garden has a very high flower wall, which is difficult for ordinary people to climb over.

If it weren’t for this high-roofed caravan, I’m afraid it would take some effort for me to climb over the wall. I took the wolf tooth dagger out of my bag and held it in my mouth with the sheath. I felt that there was an indescribable strange atmosphere in this garden, so I was prepared to be cautious. As I slowly read out my spell, a ball of red flame condensed between my hands, and then a moment later, it was quietly injected into the wolf tooth dagger. The whole dagger was enchanted with "flame tongue weapon", as if the whole dagger was burning.

"Didn't you just awaken the magic pool? How can you use magic skills?" Ying Li squatted aside and asked curiously.

"This kind of universal magic does not require much magic power. I learned it from the library. I don't know if it works or not." I can only explain it this way.

"Universal magic?" Ying Li looked at the dagger with great interest. Obviously, she didn't know much about universal magic.

I tied a turquoise drum around my waist and injected a ball of pure earth element into the stone drum. At this time, the power spreading from the entire stone drum wrapped my whole body in it, and my skin all over my body turned into stone bit by bit.

"Petrified Skin"

I rarely use this skill. This time, I was worried that I might encounter some unexpected events in the rose garden. Just in case, I added a layer of insurance to myself, which made my whole body look like a stone.

I stood on the roof of the car, took a few steps lightly, and directly jumped over the fence covered with roses and climbed over the wall...
