My Magic Age

Usually I rarely have the opportunity to stand on the rooftop of the teaching building and look at the scenery of the entire city.

Looking down from where I am, the neatest area in the city is the southeast corner. Most of the buildings here are small two-story buildings. These small attics with their own characteristics are arranged side by side, each with its own unique features. There is an exquisite small garden in the backyard of the building, full of fruit trees and flowers, and neat trees are planted on both sides of the street. The trees form rows of green shades for pedestrians to enjoy the cool air. It is clean and tidy. There are occasionally gorgeous carriages passing by on the streets, and they can drive very smoothly on the straight and flat streets. The southeast corner of the entire city is considered the center of the city. In the rich area, my home is at the edge of this area, while Ying Li's residence is in the center of this area.

The northern part of the city is the slum area. Although the houses here look like two-story buildings, most of them are simple tube buildings, which look quite old. Although there are green trees on the streets, most of them are golden apple trees. During this season, the lush fruit trees are already covered with green golden apples. These fruit trees are also a source of livelihood for the residents in the slums.

On the north-south central axis of the city, there is a clean and tidy commercial street. This is the most famous Central Street in El City. However, this street is divided into north and south. The two central streets are divided by the Central Mountain in the center of the city. Second, you can only reach the other end of Central Street by bypassing the mountain road built around the foot of the mountain.

Most of the shops on Central South Street are high-end shops, mainly magic shops, tailor shops, leather shops, herbal medicine shops, and weapon shops. The most high-end goods in the city are sold here. In the southwest corner of the city, there are large The auction house, grand theater, and El City's guard camp are located here. As for the northern part of the city, in addition to the slums, there are free markets, livestock markets, slave markets, and other busy markets.

The entire small city is surrounded by a sixteen-meter-high city wall. The bottom of the city wall is ten meters thick. There are four city gates and tall arrow towers built on the four corners of the city wall. Light ballistae are placed on the city wall. Every two There is one just ten steps away. They can easily pierce the thick chests of barbarians on the ice and snow tundra. Those barbarians have mostly stopped here in the past few decades.

On the other side of the city's outer moat, some wanderers and untouchables live there. When disaster strikes, this place will be razed to the ground. But in peacetime, it is a paradise for homeless people and refugees.

The environment here is very poor, there are piles of dirty garbage everywhere, and there are no dedicated personnel to clean it up. But there are also good things there, that is, the city tax collector never stops there, and it is adjacent to the moat, and there is a water source that can be supplied for free. In addition, there is a relief station set up here all year round, where you can receive free black bread. Of course, each person can only receive one piece a day, which can only ensure that no one will starve to death.

Under my feet is a prosperous and quiet northern town. I stand on the top of the rooftop. I feel that as long as I am a little higher, I can reach the clouds in the sky. Yingli looks at the corner of the rooftop in the direction of the temple in the distance. The clouds over there were pressed very low, and the entire outline of Mount Antias could not be seen clearly. The entire temple was also under the clouds, and some of the taller buildings even penetrated directly into the clouds.

During the break, we sneaked up to the rooftop to watch the city scenery together. This was recommended by Yerkes. He told me that if I had the chance, I must go to the rooftop of the Magic Guild’s teaching building to see the entire city. From there Looking down, you will have a different taste.

I started to talk about what happened on Saturday afternoon. I mentioned that a priest in the temple tried to arrest me and imprison me in the manor in the back mountain. Yingli looked a little sad and said silently: "Auntie is right. This The temple is already filled with the smell of decay. Only by cutting off the rotten flesh with a sharp knife can the entire temple be restored to life and gain the blessing of the goddess. Maybe this is an extremely painful process, but if it is not possible. Remove those cancers and the temple will continue to decay."

It seemed that what the elder Angel Bald said who lived in the temple was particularly touching to Ying Li, so she repeated those words in full.

I looked carefully in the direction of my home in the distance, trying to find Su’s small yard. There was a lemon tree in her backyard. Thinking of Ya’er’s warning to me the night before, I said to Ying Li: “I have never thought about God. The priests in the temple are actually connected to the evil wizards of the Priory of Dark Arts. , this is really a puzzling thing no matter what, maybe there will be some reaction from the Magic Guild, and the security camp will continue to pursue it. After all, this is related to the safety of the entire city. I saw Moraya the night before yesterday. Teacher Er is patrolling the trees in the park."

After saying this, I suddenly regretted it. Why did I mention Moraya in front of Ying Li?

There was a hint of surprise in the way she looked at me, with a playful smile on her face, looking at me curiously, waiting for me to continue.

So I could only bite the bullet and continue talking, but no matter what, I felt a little guilty, and my voice became weaker, like a child who made a mistake: "You know, she is a very outstanding wood magician." As long as there are trees and jungles, it is her home field. She said that maybe there were still fish in El City who had escaped from the manor, and maybe they were all members of the 'Black Magic Hermitage'. "

I continued to say to Ying Li: "I think El City has been full of potential dangers recently, so you should be more careful these days!"

This sentence is what I want to finally express to her. She walked slowly from the corner of the rooftop. Among girls of the same age, her figure is relatively tall, at least now she is definitely not shorter than me. The reason why she is not I found that her height was actually the same as mine, maybe because she spent all day with Helena and Ragtis, both of whom had extremely slender and good figures.

She stood in front of me, covering her lips slightly with a rather surprising smile, and then said to me: "Jijia, sometimes you can always give me a little illusion, like...like a child who won't grow up." ”

I rubbed my nose, thinking that this was not something worthy of praise.

"Jijia, don't you want to ask me about Nichols?" Ying Li put his hair that was blown by the north wind behind his ears with his hands, and turned to ask me. She sighed again with some resentment, looked at me carefully and said, "In class just now, I know he must have said something to you!"

I asked her in surprise: "Nichols only told me that the emperor of the Green Empire decreed that you should be betrothed to him. Is there any other hidden secret?"

Ying Li saw that I didn't care, and when he heard what I said, he felt a little disappointed.

She turned her head to look at the city street scene in the distance, avoiding my eyes, not wanting me to see the disappointed look in her eyes, and then tried hard to make her voice calmer, and said: "That's it, I thought you I will care about this very much!”

"Yes! Of course I care, after all, he has come to the door!" I said without concealment.

She looked up at my face in surprise, and saw a burning flame in my sincere eyes. I stared at her not-so-beautiful face, although she would never give people a stunning feeling. , but very attractive. Her face always gives people a bright atmosphere, which can only be discovered if you look carefully.

I slowly said to her: "I know that the emperor of the Green Empire must not know that there is a little magic apprentice like me in El City in Sloit Province. As your elder, he has the right to find for you I don’t deny that Nichols has the happiness of the aristocrats in the second half of his life. Of course, he has a little bit of elven aristocratic pride, but this is by no means a bad thing, so I must grow up quickly and be qualified to meet Emperor Green and tell him personally about the relationship between us. Come on, let him take back that royal order!"

Ying Li didn't expect that I would speak so positively of the half-elf noble boy Nichols. He looked at me in a daze, with moving stars in his eyes, and said coquettishly: "But you can't hit him, after all, he is still me here. As a guest, I must save some face for the royal family. If Nichols just ran back to the imperial capital with a black eye, how would you like me to explain it to my uncle?"

I then said to her: "But I need to declare my sovereignty to him. I have to tell him: he is late. Let me tell you some of my experiences. I think sometimes fists are the last word."

She pursed her lips and smiled, and her hanging heart completely fell back to its original place. Her smile was like a delicate pomegranate flower. Her eyes wandered towards the Drum Tower standing in Nancheng in the distance. For a moment, she didn't know where she was. Thinking about something, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious.

"But you have to tell me what you think!" I suddenly stretched out my hand to hold her face and said to her seriously. "I admit that he is slightly more handsome than me!"

She didn't expect that I would suddenly hold her face, and let me hold her face with both hands without any precaution, like a frightened little rabbit, and asked me nervously: "What do you want me to tell you? I'm in front of him." I’m openly standing with you, what else do you want?”

"I don't care, you have to tell me what you think anyway!" I kissed her forehead gently and said arrogantly.

She glanced at the entrance to the rooftop with some embarrassment, as if she was very worried that the iron door on the rooftop would be pushed open suddenly.

I told her about Su again. I felt that when I mentioned Su, she looked at me with a faint smile, but she kept listening quietly without asking any questions.

Later, I talked about Su's experiences in the manor, and about the potion she was forced to brew with the blood of demons. Only then did she open her mouth, with a look of sympathy on her face. Ying Li was an expert in A magic apprentice of magic herbs, she usually likes to read some books about magic herbs in the library. Last time I went to Xinliu Valley with her to search for the blood of demons. After we came back, she read a lot of historical documents and came to the conclusion Jade Fire Ink is an extremely rare magic ink.

Some people say that "as long as you have Jade Fire Ink, you have the magic scroll of 'Magic'."

This is an open secret. For a long time, the magic scroll blueprint of 'Magic Catalysis', which can increase the power of magic skills when casting spells, was said to be discovered in an ancient ruins by an inscriptionist who specializes in making advanced magic scrolls. , this magic scroll drawing was later copied by him several times, and spread in every corner of the Green Continent. This magic scroll is not advanced, and any inscription master with a little experience can draw it independently. But the magic ink used in this magic scroll is extremely rare in Greenland.

The magic skill 'Magic Catalysis' is one of the few magic skills that can improve the power of spell casting. However, this magic skill can only exist in the form of a magic scroll, which means that the 'Magic Catalysis' magic scroll is very rare, and Because it is rare and highly practical, it is an expensive magic scroll.

Because of the 'Magic Catalysis' scroll, demon blood has attracted widespread attention from many magic scholars. Many magicians are studying demon blood, trying to find magic materials that can replace it, so as to create more magic materials. There are many scrolls of 'magic catalysis'. Of course, this matter has always been an important topic in various magic societies. What followed was that the magicians gradually opened up the mystery of demon blood.

The medicinal properties of the devil's blood were announced in detail, including its magical illusion-making properties, and the fact that after taking the devil's blood once or twice, it will become addictive. A magic scholar who tried medicine once wrote in his last work: Taking devil's blood is like leaving a mark on the soul, and you will never get rid of that unforgettable torment for eternity.

Now when he heard that the evil magicians from the Black Magic Hermitage in northern Jiangsu were forced to drink the magic potion prepared with the blood of demons, an angry expression appeared on Ying Li's face, and he frowned tightly and said: "They How can you persecute an apprentice priest in the temple like this? I want to tell my aunt about this!"

"I don't want many people to know that Su is the one abandoned by God because we revealed this matter. Those fanatical believers in the temple might tie her to the stake!" I quickly grabbed the angry Ying. Li.

Ying Li said to me sadly and angrily: "Then tell me, are you going to let Anduya get away with it like this?"

"I don't believe that the cardinal will do everything right in other aspects. As long as it doesn't involve Su's safety, I can appropriately provide the gentlemen in the Magic Guild and the Guard Group with some information about their collusion with the underworld. "It's about the Magic Priory," I said to Ying Li.

But this is just talk. I will not let Anduya go so easily. Even if he has the halo of the temple bishop, now that he has touched my bottom line, he has touched Sister Guoguo’s relatives. They He is the person I want to protect most in El City. I will make a complete plan to let him taste what it feels like to be abandoned by God and enter hell.

I told Ying Li these things because I didn't want to hide anything about Su, because as long as Su entered Xinliu Valley, he would inevitably come into contact with Ying Li, so I at least wanted to make Ying Li mentally prepared.

But speaking of it, this time we brought back some 'Devil's Blood' from Xinliu Valley and discovered a new business opportunity, which is the expensive 'Magic Catalysis' scroll on the market. I didn't expect Xinliu Valley to have such a place. A treasure of inestimable value. Just one pool of demon blood in the stone chamber could produce at least a thousand scrolls. Yerkes scholars always say that a successful inscriber is accumulated with countless money, so I think that such a huge fortune may pave the way for me to become an inscriber in the future.

The bell for preparing for class came from the teaching building. Ying Li and I listened carefully, knowing that if we didn't rush back at this time, we would probably continue to stand behind the seats in the demonstration hall to listen to the class, so we hurriedly Run towards the iron gate of the rooftop.

Just when Ying Li and I ran to the big iron gate of the rooftop, the iron gate of the rooftop was suddenly pushed open, and a group of people walked out from inside. Among them was the ice-cold Heidi Magic Instructor, her Her cold and charming appearance was already burning below the freezing point. I only took a sneak look at her to know that she was getting angry. Those beautiful eyes could almost turn anyone into a lump of ice when they saw her.

She was followed by her assistant Sophie. When Sophie saw me, she winked at me. It seemed that the matter was related to me... I secretly screamed!

Next to Teacher Heidi are a group of knights lords wearing the standard uniforms of the Guard Camp and Punishment Institute. These are the real knights lords. They are not usually responsible for public security or city defense matters. They are a group of guards who supervise the ethics of knights. Battalion Inspector, commonly known as the Punishment Knight. Behind them stood the great knight who had met several times on the mountain road of the manor. He was standing behind the crowd with a look on his face. There were two fully armed knights standing beside him. He was guarding him like a prisoner, and it was obvious that his current situation must be very bad. No one would look good if they were invited over for tea by these Discipline Knight gentlemen!

But what were they doing here? I drew a circle in my mind and immediately realized that they must be here to find me.

Before these Discipline Knights could do anything to me, Teacher Heidi, whose face was almost frozen, stood at the iron gate. Her figure turned into an ice sculpture in an instant, and appeared in front of me the next second. She stretched out a hand like lightning, directly grabbed the magic robe on my chest, held it tightly in her hand, and easily lifted me up with one hand. Lifted in the air, I was tightly bound in the magic robe. It became difficult to breathe for a while, and my face turned red.

Teacher Heidi looked back and asked the knights coldly: "How do you think such a third-level magic apprentice killed the evil mage in the manor behind the temple?"

Teacher Heidi's cold questions were like a bolt from the blue. I was stunned and didn't know how to answer. I thought to myself: This is troublesome. How did Teacher Heidi know that I killed the evil wizard? When I was panicking and at a loss, I saw the old knights of the Discipline behind me looking at me and Teacher Heidi with embarrassment.
