My Magic Age

Twenty kilometers north of Mount Antia, there is a river called Galloping Horse. The river is swift and cold. In the city of El, it is called Galloping Horse. Galloping Horse River flows into the White Elephant River from Caishiji, flows through the northern hinterland of the city of Sloyte, and flows southeast into the sea.

They all belong to the temperate mountain jungle area, and the natural environment is not much different. The entire Mount Antia is planted with black pine trees, but near the manor on the back mountain of the temple, golden apple trees surround the hills, row by row, layer by layer, lush and green. Deep in the apple forest, you can see the manor on the top of the cliff, with red tiles, white walls, and towering chimneys. The bald eagle glides along the stream in the sky, leaving a wisp of smoke. It looks at the blue sky and earth from a distance, showing its richness and beauty to the knights.

The rocks at the pass ahead were finally removed, and the horse team could move forward slowly. The chaotic criticism finally stopped. The knights quickly put on their armor on their mounts. Su and I followed the whole team and moved forward slowly. Brother Evan saw me carrying Su on my back and walking forward along the roadside. He frowned, probably unable to bear us climbing the mountain so hard. His companion next to him immediately whispered a few words to him. Brother Evan touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and his brows were wrinkled into a "chuan" shape. He took a deep breath, drove his horse across the large group and ran back.

I continued to walk forward with Su on my back. The hooves of the tall horses passing by me raised a cloud of dust. The three of us were surrounded in the dust and looked very embarrassed. Brother Evan's companion motioned for us to wait for a moment.

Sure enough, not long after, Evan came over from behind, leading a knight in exquisite full armor, crossing the cavalry. I saw the two fire scrolls in the knight's pocket at a glance. It seemed that the dull and honest Evan had also learned this little trick that always works - "giving gifts"! The knight looked at me carefully for a moment with a sullen face. Most of the time, his eyes stayed on the magic badge on my chest. He held the reins in one hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Are you an apprentice of the El City Magic Academy?"

I saw the noble family badge on his chest, and knew that the knight was also a noble. I bowed to him and said respectfully, "Yes, sir. My teacher is Heidi, the magic instructor of the water class of the magic academy, and I am a new student of the academy this year!"

"Oh, I know! Heidi is a very famous water magician in our El City. Since you are her student, please sit in the logistics car and go up the mountain together. I will give orders to send people to find your sister. Don't worry, the villa is now under the control of our vanguard camp!" The knight said in a deep voice.

I hurriedly thanked him. He didn't continue to be polite with us. He nodded directly to the accompanying officer beside him, and then drove the horse to continue on the road.

Evan stayed behind and kept whispering with his companion. They rode on horseback and followed the team forward, and the two walked farther and farther.

Later, the logistics vehicle finally drove over, and we were placed on the carriage by the accompanying official who had been silent all the time.

Once we passed the pass, it was a different scene. Sitting on the sacks of the carriage and observing carefully, we clearly felt that we were already on the cliff path of the manor. The ridge was high and steep, and some places suddenly formed a break, and there was a rocky abyss below. The road was covered with shrubs and bamboo forests on both sides, and thatch and thorny vines were intertwined, making it impenetrable.

There were buildings in the manor on the top of the cliff that had started to burn, and the cavalry team on the mountain road began to speed up.

"Hurry up and put out the fire, boys, those are all the property of our Knights!" The knights in front shouted loudly to the team behind.

The sound of swords colliding could be faintly heard. The fight in the manor had not stopped yet. Demon hunters began to withdraw from the battlefield cleverly. Now it was time for the Knights to take full control of the results of the battle. Those demon hunters who had gained benefits knew how to stop when they saw the benefits. Otherwise, they would be caught by the knights of the guard camp. If they were not careful, they would not get any benefits and would have to spend money to avoid disaster.

Cindy didn't expect that she had just fled the manor in a hurry, but now she changed her identity and returned from the main gate. She asked me in a low voice with some worry: "Ji Jia, if those people in the manor recognize us, will these knights also take me away?"

"It's okay. We are hiding in the material warehouse, which is the rear area. Basically, there is no chance to see the prisoners in the manor." I said to her.

Cindy was relieved, and we sat quietly in the carriage. Sue remained silent. It seemed that she had not had a good time in the past two months. Although she was not tortured physically, the most fatal thing was that she was addicted to the drug "demon blood". It would be difficult to quit. Moreover, her status as a priest apprentice was gone all of a sudden. She could not obtain divine power when praying, and could no longer use divine spells. Instead, she got a "shadow body" that could not be seen in the light. This was beyond my cognition. I didn't know what that situation was, but the powerful power she had burst out before was actually able to summon an elemental vampire. The power of this terrifying magic even exceeded all the first-level magic skills I knew!

Whether it was fireball, waterball, lightning bolt, ice arrow, wind blade, or stone, they were probably not as scary as the so-called 'Vampire's Embrace'. Su didn't say where she learned that skill, and I didn't ask any more questions. Especially at this time, since she didn't tell me, I didn't want to ask more questions, for fear that she would be too embarrassed if she had some secrets that I couldn't tell.

It's okay to sit on the carriage. A good girl like Su sat next to me very quietly. Even if her heart was full of worries about Anne, it didn't show on her face at all. I took out Ignaz's diary and read it. Although a research-oriented magic scholar like him has gone astray, he still has a wealth of knowledge. For example, he is very good at potions. In addition, in order to be able to Open the 'Evil Ghost Gate' and summon hell creatures, so he should also be very familiar with the magic skill of 'Summoning the Evil Ghost Gate'.

Well, actually what I care about most is the knowledge about magic ink.

I opened Ignaz's diary, which contained scattered records of many trivial things, but there were very few written descriptions about magic ink. Open one of the pages at random:

Ignaz's diary

Roland Empire Legislative Year, 15/23, 9821.

It was an extremely depressing day. The last Emperor Blood Grass was thrown into the crucible. Unfortunately, the experiment still failed. Is the material 'Devil's Blood' really impossible to synthesize?

I decided to find the real demon blood.

Well, Jimmy told me that it is difficult, but I have been completely conquered by the potion formula. I can't imagine how much great research that potion will be, but I know that it will allow people to obtain more powerful Power, this kind of power exists independently from the elemental power of the magic world. It should belong to the shadow power of the hell world. I am eager to see what it looks like!

August 17, 9823.

I saw the formula of the forbidden magic potion 'Shadow Body' in a 'Devil's Book'. I have been busy preparing a bottle of 'Shadow Body' for the past few years. I am a potion master and I can't refuse. The temptation of this potion recipe.

Today I finally got some demon blood from the largest auction house in Haiyinsi. In order to get this demon blood, I almost researched all the creatures in the hell world. I want to extract and synthesize some magic herbs from some magic herbs to replace them. Potion of demon blood, but unfortunately it is really difficult.

However, I finally bought a small bottle anyway and could finally continue my research.

April 1, 9827.

For those low-level creatures in the hell world, I would open the 'Evil Ghost Gate' to summon them. I even got some plants from the hell world. Unfortunately, there was still no way to get more demon blood. I thought it was time to collect those auxiliary materials. of material.

I should make some potions and send them to the auction house, then tomorrow!

I need a lot of magic crystals. There are too many damn goatheads. Should they be sold to the slave market? I need a larger laboratory. The laboratory at Kil'jaeden Academy of Magic in Hayes cannot meet my requirements. I will resign tomorrow. The blood in my heart is already boiling.

April 29, 9827.

It’s really a bit cold in the north, but my friend Oya Qiao is such a generous person. He lent me his private villa for academic research. I’m very grateful to him!

The daily necessities have been prepared, but the experimental equipment still needs to be transported from Haiyinsi. Maybe it will be back next week. I really can't wait to do the experiment.

He also introduced me to some friends. These people seem to have very unique views on magic, but I think their arguments must be difficult for the Magic Guild to accept. Just like the bottle of forbidden potion I developed, if it is accepted by the Magic Guild or the If the people in the temple find out, I will definitely be pushed to the gallows or the cross, but I am not afraid, and they don't seem to be afraid either. We are a group of like-minded people.

I love attending salons like this.

December 2, 9829.

It turned out that they were members of the Priory of Dark Arts, and they extended an invitation to me. I could finally join this organization!

These magic materials can be obtained so easily. So much time was wasted before.

It seems that I should raise more hellhounds, which is a new way to get rich.

November 30, 9830.

Unexpectedly, after researching the 'Shadow Body', I began to worry about not having a suitable carrier. I tried to make various creatures take the Dark Body. It seemed that the potion was like a poison. As long as it was drunk, it would be exploded by the dark element. I bought some strong slaves and homeless people from slave traders, but it still didn't work!

That's all I have. Although I still have a lot of poppy juice in the garden, demon blood is not something that can be found on the Roland continent. It took me countless efforts to get just this little demon blood. I need to save some money.

December 26, 9830.

I think I'm probably crazy. That girl is a priest apprentice, and the sacred power in her body is so pure. I wonder what will happen if she drinks the 'Shadow Body'?

That boy Simon won't be angry. Anyway, the person she likes is the sister of a girl. If the experiment fails, maybe I can tell her that the girl died of a disease. He shouldn't blame me.

If it fails again, I want to leave the last 'Shadow Body' potions to me. Maybe the formula of this forbidden potion was originally a joke.

December 29, 9830.

Oh My God! It was successful. After taking the 'Shadow Body', the girl was in normal condition.

how so? Could it be that the sacred power in her body offset those shadow powers...

...beautiful dividing line...

I turned to the last page and saw that Ignaz had not finished writing the last few sentences. It turned out that he was hiding here to study the potion of 'Shadow Body'. It turned out that for 'Shadow Body', Ignaz was also in the process of experimenting with the magic potion, and he had no more experience in using it. But what I'm most worried about now is that Su is very dependent on the 'Shadow Body' and has become addicted.

There is no record in the entire diary on how to get rid of the 'Shadow Body'. This was my ultimate purpose in reading the entire diary, but unfortunately I didn't get the answer.

The mention of the Black Magic Hermitage in the diary surprised me a bit. I thought that the crazy alchemist might have been a member of this organization before that. In such a small border town, it was also the place where those obscure forces gathered. , but being able to set up a stronghold in such a grand manner under the nose of the temple makes me admire Ignaz very much.

Su sat next to me, looking at the manor in the distance absentmindedly, waiting for Anne to return safely.

It was almost dusk, and half of the sky was dyed burgundy by the setting sun. Although the fire in the manor had been extinguished, it was still billowing with thick smoke.

Team after team of knights have begun to pull out the trophies they were looking at from the manor. The knights of the guard camp cleaned the battlefield thoroughly. Everything that could be moved was loaded on the carriages. The hardwood furniture and decorations in the room, including dining tables, cabinets, weapon shelves, and bedrooms The carpets etc. in the room, as long as they could be moved, were not left behind.

Watching the cartloads of trophies passing by us, the knights with minor injuries also sat on the carriages, discussing the situation and harvest today enthusiastically. Obviously, they were not very satisfied with the harvest.

The knight driving the cart was raising his whip and holding a piece of wheat cake in one hand, but it seemed that the cake was a bit hard and he had a little difficulty chewing it.

The knight sitting next to him frowned and said: "CTNND, where did the manor owner go? Didn't you hear that he was shot by the demon hunter archer? Why did you let him run away?"

The knight driving the carriage probably choked. He took a big drink of water and stretched his neck hard to get the mouthful of wheat cake into his stomach. Then he said regretfully: "I can't tell whether I will run away or not. There are so many demon hunters here today. Maybe one of them will be blocked in the secret room and killed, and then quietly get the most valuable things and sneak away." There is only a pile of rags left for us, and this cart of stuff can’t be exchanged for a good meal!”

There were no materials in the basements, dungeons, and caves on these passing carriages. I think no matter how stupid the knights in these guard camps were, they would never miss these places. Probably because it was full of smoke. Don’t go to people!

After listening to the two knights talking about how the most valuable things in the manor were hidden on Ignaz, Cindy looked at me nervously, but no one paid any attention to the three of us children who were sitting on the carriage honestly. , otherwise you will definitely find some clues from Cindy's weird expression.

Yes, Ignaz's magic belt bag has been tied to my belt. As a magic apprentice, having a magic belt can only be said to be a bit luxurious, but it is not eye-catching. No one knows that the magic fanny pack around my waist contains the most valuable thing in the entire manor.

A group of young people supported each other and walked out of the manor. Anne was carrying an unconscious young man on her back and led them out of the manor eagerly.

Little Evan was accompanying the driver at this time. Whenever someone wanted to stop him, he would step forward and speak. So although there were always people trying to stop the young couple along the way, in fact, those people were not deliberately trying to cause trouble. , I just don’t want the fat meat I got to be distributed like this. Who knows what good things these young boys and girls have found in the manor, but they are running out so eagerly.

Anne was not injured, and she was holding a magic sword in her hand, the blade of which was burning with red flames.

It seemed that he had gone through a fight, and finally walked out of the manor with his friends, and came to me eagerly...
