My Magic Age

The magic caravan team made the last repair and headcount before entering the city of Sloyte.

We stood on a high hill overlooking the entire city. It was a castle that stretched as far as the eye could see. The grandeur of the entire city made us feel as small as ants under the feet of a giant elephant. A large river runs from west to east, and this majestic castle is built along its southern bank. The endless mountains are full of golden wheat fields and golden apple trees full of fruits. It is the time to harvest wheat, and the farmers are waving sickles in the fields and sweating hard. The golden apple trees are full of green fruits.

On the road between the fields, countless warrior apprentices and magic apprentices from other cities, riding various strange magic caravans, are constantly gathering towards the city of Sloyte from afar. What I find most interesting is the team of chariots pulled by Gubolai horses. Almost every two-wheeled chariot can only stand five warrior apprentices. These two-wheeled chariots meander for several kilometers on the road, and the horses trot briskly all the way, raising clouds of dust.

Under the 40-50-meter-high city wall, the magic caravan crossed the 100-meter-wide moat. I finally understand why the city of Sloyt has always stood at the northernmost end of the Green Empire's territory for hundreds of years, defending the first line of defense in the north. Those brutal barbarians are firmly contained on the ice and snow tundra.

The architectural style of the entire city is very close to Baroque architecture. Magnificent and colorful arched buildings can be seen everywhere here. The exquisite and complex reliefs on the outer walls continue the history of the entire Sloyt for hundreds of years. Compared with it, the city of El is like an inconspicuous rural village, and there are not even as many people as a block in the city of Sloyt.

White waves rolled on the wide river, and some fishing boats were just shuttling on the calm river. Hundreds of meters long fishing nets were thrown into the river. The fishermen on the boats shouted and pushed the capstan vigorously, and their faces showed joy.

Ying Li was so excited that she almost didn't sleep last night because she knew that the caravan would arrive at the city of Sloyte as soon as possible. Now when she entered the city of Sloyte, she slept soundly on my shoulder, with her feet on Helena's legs and covered with a thin blanket.

Last night, Ying Li told me that her best friend Alisa lived in the city of Sloyte. Her words reminded me of the bracelet on my wrist. I lowered my head and took a look at the beautifully crafted bracelet. When the caravan entered the gate of Sloyte, it suddenly became very bumpy, which woke up Ying Li who was sleeping on my shoulder.

"Oh, we're already here! Jia, why didn't you wake me up?" Ying Li complained to me, leaning on Becky's side, looking out the window curiously.

Darwin has become very familiar to me. He is a person who is not easy to be disliked. He has his own optimistic ideas and very clear principles of doing things. I think his ideas are not bad and his heart is not bad, at least he treats his cheap sister well.

Yes, Rita is Darwin's cheap sister.

Darwin's mother is the daughter of Mrs. Joyce, and Darwin's father is a ranger instructor at the Staines College in Ayr City. His father met a woman who moved to the city from the suburbs of Ayr City a few years ago. She is Rita's mother. She brought a girl with her at that time, who was Rita. It is said that it was this woman's strength and desire for life that moved Darwin's father and got the consent of Darwin's mother. On the eve of Darwin's father's marriage to Rita's mother, this woman suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away without a word, leaving only the poor Rita alone. Rita also had a grandmother in Ayr City who was also living in a very difficult situation. After her mother died, Rita refused Darwin's father's kindness to adopt her, but always lived with her grandmother. The life of the old and the young was very difficult. Darwin often went to help Rita, who lived in poverty.

Rita was a very strong girl. She was not very willing to accept Darwin's help and various gifts. She was more willing to exchange for equal value.

Along the way, as teammates, we need to understand each other. First of all, we need to know which position each person is good at in the battle. As the captain, I need to seriously understand the true strength of each person. Although our team only has seven people, we have a wide range of professions, from the shield warrior (Rita) at the forefront of the team, to the warrior (Becky), swordsman (Helena), archer (Lagetis), ranger (Darwin), two magic apprentices, one is good at fire magic (Ying Li), and the other is good at various auxiliary protection skills and healing (Ji Jia). Such a strong combat team is considered top-notch among the new teams in El City.

"Captain..." Rita seemed a little excited, clenched her fists and pressed them on her legs, sitting up straight and said to me.

"Call me Jia, there are at least more than 30 people who can become captains from El City. I don't want to be outside. When you call me captain, at least a dozen people will turn around and agree. At least there should be fewer people with the same name as me." I said to Rita with a smile.

Rita's face turned red. At this time, she had calmed down from the shock and excitement. After hearing that I had mastered the magic skill of 'healing', Rita was a little unable to control her emotions. She is much better now. She looked at me seriously and asked: "Jia, aren't you a freshman in the Magic Court who has just awakened the magic pool in less than a month? How can you use healing techniques?"

I didn't explain much, and drew a light blue magic circle directly in front of her. As I chanted softly, a strong water element slowly condensed, but something strange suddenly appeared in the air. , those water elements did not arrange the final pattern of the magic pattern array, okay! I was a little embarrassed. The success rate of my healing spell was already over 70%, but I didn't expect that when I originally wanted to show off my skills in front of Rita, I failed to cast the spell and was slapped in the face!

Ying Li and Helena, who were sitting aside, were holding back their laughter. I had to use the 'water therapy' again. This time, the spell was successful. A white water element was like a handful of rain and mist. The same sound fell on Rita's body, accompanied by a clear and pleasant sound of "wlop". Rita seemed to be swept away from all the fatigue in her body, and looked at me full of admiration.

...Beautiful dividing line...

Every magician who has been to Sloit City must at least go to the central square of the fifth block and pay homage to the statues of the five legendary magicians here before they have truly visited Sloit City.

Our magic caravan also enters the city through the gate closest to the fifth block. The magic caravan drives directly to the Sloit Ivory Tower Magic Academy. We students who came to El City were temporarily placed in this highest school in the north. Among the magic schools, the most famous Sloit Ivory Tower Magic Academy is built in the city. North of the central square of the fifth block, when we passed the central square of the fifth block, the wide street was filled with onlookers. They were all looking at our group of people curiously. Every window of the magic caravan was crowded. It was full of people, and everyone was curiously looking out at the statue of heroes in the central square of the famous Fifth Street.

The central square of the fifth block is five times the size of the central square of El City. The entire square is made of water-milled granite. There are almost no seams between the square rocks. There are gaps every 20 meters in the square. There will be a street lamp. I have looked carefully. These street lamps are all magic street lamps. They are not like the street lamps on the streets of El City. Whenever it gets dark, the night watchmen are required to carry ladders and give each street lamp a special light. Fill them with lamp oil and light them. The street lights in this square are so luxurious that they are all made of moonstones that can illuminate.

At the northernmost end of the square, there is a gorgeous marble building. This marble building is thirty meters high, and its overall shape is like a crescent moon lying across the north side of the city square. Now I can see its original appearance clearly. It turns out that it is a curved wall. On this wall The reliefs are carved with various patterns, and they tell the life glory of five legendary heroes. Their glory is closely connected with the rise and fall of the city of Sloit.

On the stone steps in front of the marble building stand five statues of Xiatun: Aili, Guoguolie, Parubui, Komol and Rongyu. These five are all legendary mages who have made great contributions to the advancement of human magic. On the first day of our school, the magic teacher told us the names of these five legendary mages, so that we should keep them in mind and always refer to them. Be proud of it.

Knowing that the magic caravan drove into the centuries-old Ivory Tower Magic Academy, I still frequently looked back at the five huge statues behind me...

On the street of the fifth block, there were crowds of onlookers. Under the noise, I heard someone talking about us foreign students:

"They are all young children!" People on the street started talking after looking at our young faces.

An insider began to say: "I heard that the door to time and space in the ivory tower of the Magic Guild has opened, and these foreign children are going to explore the plane."

"But they don't seem to be too old. Do they know how to take care of themselves?" someone asked.

The insider continued: "I heard that it is a small plane, and the space laws inside only allow apprentices below level six to enter."

"So that's it..."

…

It was originally a relatively easy journey, but after entering Sloit City, the situation became a little tight. Magicians from the Ivory Tower Magic Guild in Sloit City are constantly coming over to discuss the itinerary with the leading teacher. We cannot hear the conversations between them, but these magicians from the Ivory Tower are always in a hurry, and our The leading teachers' expressions also became much more serious, and they did not look like they were chatting and laughing during the trip.

Fat Bobby is one of the most active people among the new students in the Magic Academy. He can always get the latest news as soon as possible:

It is said that the cause was that a very senior space magician in the ivory tower miscalculated the opening time of the time and space gate, which caused the time and space gate in the ivory tower to open three days earlier than the original time. In other words, the original plan was three days. Days later, students from various colleges began to plan to enter the Gate of Time and Space one after another, but there was a temporary change. Change, the time and space gate in this small plane called Xinliu Valley has built a time and space channel with the time and space gate in the ivory tower. As the landlord, Sloit Junior Magic Academy made a decision, that is Prepare to enter Xinliu Valley in advance (residents of Sloit City prefer to call it Galloping Horse Academy).

Since the Benma Academy was going to enter Xinliu Valley ahead of time, the other magic academies that arrived at Shiluite City also felt that they could not suffer a loss in this matter. After all, they were going to that small plane to grab resources, so they also decided to enter Xinliu Valley ahead of time. As a result, time was very tight. We had just arrived in Shiluite City and had to prepare to enter Xinliu Valley tomorrow. There was no time to take any rest. There are five primary magic academies distributed in Shiluite Province, namely Shiluite City Primary Magic Academy (Benma Academy), El City Primary Magic Academy (War Academy), Xinghai City Primary Magic Academy (Xinghai Academy), Qingzishan City Primary Magic Academy (Qingzi Academy), Wuyang City Primary Magic Academy (Wuyang Academy). Among these five magic academies, the strongest one is naturally the Benma Academy. The strength of Xinghai Academy, Ziqing Academy, and Wuyang Academy is not much different, but they are slightly inferior to the Benma Academy. The last one is the El City War Academy where I am.

This is calculated according to the comprehensive strength ranking of the colleges. This ranking combines various competitions held between magic colleges in recent years, expeditions and the number of magicians entering advanced magic colleges. The strength ranking is fair.

The War College is the top college ranked first in El City, but it ranks last among many magic colleges. In fact, this situation can be seen to some extent. The warrior apprentices of other colleges are almost all from this college. Only the War College gathers all the outstanding warrior apprentices from all colleges in El City to participate in this expedition.

Although there are some suspicions of cheating, it is a helpless move. The ranking of the college is related to the ratio of various magic resources provided by the Magic Guild to these magic colleges. The first-ranked Galloping Horse College has always enjoyed nearly half more magic resources than the War College.

Dean Godfrey spent a lot of thought to ensure that the War College would not be at the bottom of the expedition. At the same time, the college spent countless financial resources to support Yekis scholars to conduct new project research, in fact, it was also to obtain a magic scientific research result, so as to change the declining image of the War College in the eyes of outsiders.

We, the students from El City, entered the dormitory area of ​​the Ivory Tower Advanced Magic Academy and were assigned to the townhouse area in the seventh district. A total of 350 students and ten team leaders were assigned to ten villas. It was dark after the rooms were assigned. We even had dinner in the villa. Vegetable salad and tomato beef soup with buttered white bread covered with golden apple jam tasted pretty good.

After dinner, I agreed with the team members on the time to have breakfast together tomorrow morning, and then we returned to our dormitories. Students of the magic academy need a lot of time to meditate every night and need a quiet and comfortable space, so I and Ying Li and 26 other magic apprentices were arranged in a villa in the corner. The villa is divided into two floors, with girls living on the second floor and boys living on the first floor.

When Ying Li and I returned to the villa, we found that most of the students were meditating on the floor of the living room. We didn't want to appear too different, so we quietly joined them. I quietly came to the corner of the living room and found a suitable place to sit down. Unexpectedly, the person sitting in front of me was Fatty Bobby.

Perhaps he heard the sound of footsteps. At this moment, he had not entered the state of meditation. He turned back to look at me. Seeing me sit down, he winked at me and pointed at the door. He must have something to say to me. I nodded in understanding and quietly walked out of the villa with him.

Bobby told me a piece of bad news that Teacher Flanders brought back after dinner, which made me a little worried about this Xinliu Valley adventure trip...
