My Magic Age

A whole row of tents were set up in the campsite at the entrance of the valley. The threat of the gray dwarf bandit group has been hanging over everyone's heads and has not dissipated.

But after walking out of the narrow valley known as the Death Plank Road, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt relaxed.

This evening, the caravan's Thunder Rhinoceros and the dance troupe's caravan parked chaotically in the large empty field at the mouth of the valley. After experiencing this road of death together, the two incompatible teams actually became much more harmonious with each other.

Nowadays, everything is lacking in the camp. There are not many things that can be picked up at the entrance of the valley. The limited bushes do not provide much firewood. The men walk as far as possible, looking for all the edible wild vegetables. They have been drinking from the cracks in the rocks these days. The ice melted water scraped off from time to time, and the food was dry jerky and flatbread. Even if you see wild vegetables at this time, you will feel that they are rare delicacies.

In the valley, it gets dark relatively early. I saw piles of bonfires burning in the camp from a distance. We were more than 300 meters away from the camp. The bonfire was piled behind a big rock. Our bonfire could be clearly seen from the camp. , but looking from the opposite direction, it is true that not even a shred of light can be seen, it is all blocked by large rocks.

It was relatively leeward here. When the firewood flames extinguished and only the charcoal fire remained, Kuz began to roast the wax-sealed lamb legs on the grill. This was still our inventory on the Xinghu grassland. At that time, the men in the camp and the adventure Many people choose to go hunting together as a group In exchange for more precious magic antelope skins and silver coins, Kuz and I each received a magic antelope horn as a reward. Later, Kuz also asked for a batch of magic antelopes from the leader of the Stars Adventure Group, the warrior Baoji. The fresh meat of the antelope is made into some bacon and preserved.

At this time when food is scarce, there is still a piece of cured meat to eat, which is really rare in a caravan.

I think maybe even Mr. Leipas will be eating dry cakes with the men in the caravan tonight. Kurtz hummed an unknown song from the orcs with some pride, and I rested my head on the fruit. On Sister Guoguo's strong thighs, she looked up at the starry sky and said to Sister Guoguo: "Sister, tell me about Annie!"

"Annie?" Sister Guoguo put one hand on my forehead, pressed her thumb and middle finger on my forehead and kneaded it gently, which was very comfortable.

Annie is Sister Guoguo's younger sister. She is currently in her second year at the Sword Skills Academy at Biel War College.

Sister Guoguo fell into memories and said after a long time: "She has always been a very stubborn girl..."

There was a quiet girl beside us. She sat silently at my feet a little away from the fire. I didn't even notice it, but my intuition made me take a look there. Xiaochai The girl was sitting there in a light gray dress, pursed her lips and looking at the leg of lamb spinning in Kurtz's hand.

Seeing me looking at her, she glanced at me slightly, and said to me with some resentment: "You haven't had barbecue for a long time. You even sneaked to such a far away place and didn't remember to call me."

Sister Guoguo was obviously startled. She looked at the sudden appearance of Xiao Chai Niu and asked me, "Is this your friend?"

Kuz muttered on the side: "This greedy little girl has known us for almost a month, from the dance troupe."

I smiled dryly and said to Xiao Chai Niu: "It's so chaotic in the camp. Besides, I never knew which caravan you lived in! How could I possibly find you?"

"Oh? Didn't I tell you that I live with Singer?" Xiao Chai Niu rubbed her head, and her long black hair fell down like a waterfall, as if she had just washed her hair, fresh and smooth.

I turned to Kurtz and asked, "She said that?"

"Definitely not!" Kurtz replied rather disdainfully.

Thinking of Uncle Fred's beautiful, gentle, generous and decent woman Singer, I remembered that she invited me and Kurtz to play in her caravan in Xinghu Grassland. Unfortunately, there was no one on the narrow mountain road in this valley. I had the opportunity to go over for a visit, so I sat up and asked her, "So you are working under Sister Singh?"

We didn't communicate much before, and the only communication we had was about food. I didn't expect that she would live in the same caravan with Singer. Thinking that Singer seemed to be able to talk to her in the caravan, I thought about whether I should visit that gentle woman one day. , let her take proper care of Xiao Chai Niu.

"Forget it...let it go." Xiao Chai Niu rolled her eyes dissatisfied, as if she was unwilling to say these things. However, her slightly angry expression actually made me feel very charming and flirtatious. I actually had a feeling that this somewhat mysterious little slave was very attractive. Every time I saw her, I felt that she was a little prettier. .

I didn't think much about it, so I said to her: "Sister Singh has some friendship with us. Last time our brothers went to help her cook a big meal. I had never seen you at that time, but I want to talk to her. Let you do some easy work, maybe she can help."

Xiaochai Niu didn't answer after hearing this. She just took off the cloth bag from her waist and threw it to me.

I opened it and saw a few half-green and half-red plums. Although I have seen this in Lao Kulu's Herbal Encyclopedia, there is this kind of fruit in this world, but it grows in the southern part of the Green Empire. The north is not suitable for the growth of this small shrub at all. In this season and this I was really surprised that the location was able to bring out a few fresh plums.

"No need, I'm doing pretty well!" Xiao Chai Niu said a little stubbornly as she liked to press her body tightly against her slender legs.

"Plum, where did this thing come from?" I had a premonition that something was not good.

Xiaochai Niu turned her head to look at the leg of lamb in Kuz's hand disapprovingly, and said to herself: "Don't worry about what I picked. You can eat yours."

I remember last time we grilled a thick lamb chop. Kuz prefers fatter meat, but he felt a little tired after eating it. Even though we each had a piece of scone at the time, there was still nothing we could do. To suppress the mutton chop smell, I remember saying at the time: "It would be nice if there were a few plums or peaches."

Kurtz also asked me what plums were, and I said they were all fruits. If you feel greasy after eating meat, you will feel better if you eat some slightly sour fruits. Kurtz also foolishly told me that he could eat no amount of meat without feeling greasy. Sister Guoguo took a half green and half red plum from my hand and said in surprise: "Is this a plum? I once saw this thing at a school exchange dance. This is a fruit from the south. Even in We in Biel City wanted to eat it, and it was flown over by a magic airship. You can’t buy a few of them with just one silver coin.”

In this world, one silver coin can be exchanged for thirty kilograms of wheat flour or a leg of lamb. Of course, a leg of lamb is not that valuable here. Likewise, it is absolutely impossible to buy thirty kilograms of wheat flour with one silver coin. After all, this is not the place. It's a prosperous city, but it can be seen from this that these plums are still very expensive.

When Kuz heard what Sister Guoguo said, he grabbed one from my hand without hesitation, threw it into his mouth, and bit it down: "Ouch! It's so sour."

Then, as I watched dumbfoundedly, I swallowed it with my mouth. I asked a little strangely: "Where is the core?"

"Eat! Ah, that thing can't be eaten?" Kurtz felt a little stupid.

I said speechlessly: "Do you eat the bones of the lamb leg?"

“Sometimes I’m so hungry, I still eat!”

"Okay, it doesn't matter, you can eat it." I was speechless again.

In fact, if you look closely, Xiaochai Niu is much more refined than Sister Guoguo, but she lacks a mature charm. She also looks good when eating. She will tear off the meat bit by bit with her teeth very gracefully, chew it carefully in her mouth, taste it slowly and then swallow it in her stomach. She is the kind of person who is very good at eating. Sister Guoguo will tear the meat into strips with her hands and put it in her mouth to eat. She prefers the jujube sauce that Kuz brought.

We chatted and ate the roasted golden leg of lamb, and the time passed quickly. Before I knew it, there were two silver moons hanging very close to each other in the sky. It was already very late.

My heart felt panicked for no reason, and the feeling was still very strong. I glanced around uneasily. I didn't find anything wrong at first, but when I turned around again, I actually saw the flickering light of fire in the shadow behind me. , it only stung my eyes slightly, I quickly turned around pretending to be nonchalant, picked up an unburned branch and wrote in front of Sister Guoguo: There is someone behind you!

Quiet, the quiet around me makes me feel like my breath is being condensed under the night.

Sensing my abnormal reaction, Kurtz also turned to look at me, and I blinked at him. This is the most common look we usually use when hunting. It is a silent communication that we only make when the prey is about to appear. I don’t know how many people are around yet, but I think of something that has been rumored in the caravan: the gray dwarf bandits.

At this time, Sister Guoguo calmly took out the ebony staff from her arms. She glanced at me, and I knew she meant to let me protect myself.

When I concentrated on listening, Kurtz's two big furry ears also rotated like radar, and our two hands kept changing the numbers, eleven, twelve, and thirteen. There were more than ten dwarf warriors who came to surround us. Kuz and I counted them clearly in a hurry. This kind of counting by listening to the sound can only give a rough estimate of the number.

I heard the slight sound of armor scraping against the gravel on the ground, and I knew that Kurtz must also hear it, and there were more than one. Xiaochai Niu also noticed that there was something unnatural between us. I opened my mouth and didn't make any sound. I just told her to find a safe place to hide in a while.

I guessed that they must have wanted to kill us silently, and then completely surround the entire camp. The people responsible for guarding outside were probably in danger.

We glanced at each other, and Kuz quickly covered the fire with his fur jacket that was still emitting faint light. The surrounding area suddenly became dark, and the next moment we were all rolling and crawling to hide. Behind the boulder.

We came out without making any preparations. We never thought that we would encounter these dwarf bandits as soon as we climbed out of the mountain road. Kurtz's hunting bow and harpoon were still left in the camp.

Kurtz let out a long howl like a wolf, took out a short blade from his arms and rushed out. No matter how fast I reacted, I couldn't touch Kurtz who was as fast as a gust of wind. I was so anxious. Gan stamped his feet and shouted at him: "Come back!"

He listened to my words. Orc warriors are famous for their brave fighting style. Sister Guoguo only had time to put a "Water Shield" on him, and without any auxiliary magic such as "Wind Speed", Kuz had already rushed into the darkness. I held my head and cursed in pain: "Damn it, those pig teammates who killed people!"
