My Magic Age

There were no high-end restaurants around the slave market. Bobby just randomly chose a large restaurant that looked relatively clean. After a group of us opened the curtain and walked in, we found that it was overcrowded. Many businesses in the slave market were busy. Very hot, everyone here All livelihoods were driven by the slave market. Just like this big restaurant, crudely made food was served on the table in basins without the slightest sense of beauty. If it had been opened in the East District, it would probably be deserted until it closed. Tianjin, but here, business is so good.

There were many nobles with slaves dining inside, and many slaves with brass collars around their necks were sitting or standing beside them. Each collar was clearly engraved with the name of the slave owner. Bobby and I walked Coming in did not attract any strange looks. , it’s just that some sharp-eyed people couldn’t help but take a closer look at the long-eared elf slave girl. Although her whole body was covered in a black cloak, the yellow-orange copper ring on her neck was exposed. of her identity.

The most surprising thing about her is that the metal collar is blank. It is brand new and has not had time to engrave the name of the slave owner. Her pure and beautiful elf face also attracted the attention of many diners. Bobby looked very Happy, he stood beside me and said to me triumphantly: "That guy Nichols has been acting really bad in class recently. Probably because I was so scared after being beaten by you, when I came to the magic academy to take classes, I didn't forget to bring an entourage with me, probably his follower, a knight apprentice wearing steel armor. That guy was always mean. He stood at the door of the teaching building with a dead face like a piece of wood. If he hadn't been able to breathe, he would be almost the same as the stone statue at the door! "

I didn't know that the half-elf would bring his followers to the magic academy so openly. After hearing this, he looked at Bobby curiously and motioned for him to continue.

"Actually, I have also thought about taking Bablu to class on Monday and letting Bablu's scimitar compete with his knight apprentice attendant. I think Bablu can easily wear it on his breastplate. Cross-shaped marks were drawn on it!" But Bobby had already begun to show off to me how powerful Bablu's fighting power was.

I have a keen sense of danger, and my magic perception is always giving me feedback on the status of the people around me. I can easily feel that the power in the body of Bobby, the follower, is very restless. He is trying his best to suppress the muscle tissue of his body. Power, but what he did made me feel that Bablu is still unable to control all the power in his body, so he uses all his strength to suppress it. How can someone who cannot even fully control his own power win the battle? I smiled disapprovingly.

"But I'm looking forward to seeing you bring your elf sister to class together. He brings the entourage of knight apprentices to class, and you bring a pure-blooded elf slave girl with you. You will definitely make this guy's face green with anger. There is nothing better than here. More interesting things!" Bobby laughed proudly and talked to me about things in the college without any scruples.

I don’t know if the elf girl next to me can understand Bobby’s words. In short, she has been following us quietly without any resistance and has not spoken.

She is quiet and beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people feel bad.

After seeing real elves, I realized that there are really many differences between half-elves and elves. Just like Nichols, the half-elf, he always dresses up very carefully to make himself look more like an elf. But now I realize that apart from his long ears and silver hair, his temperament, skin color, and eye pupil color are all very different from those of a real elf. However, Lagertis's little girl only had an elf-like outer outline of her ears.

"But then again, if you give her to me, you won't mind what I do with her, right?" I turned to Bobby and asked, he was smiling evilly imagining the scene of Nichols being embarrassed, the mean expression on his face was very bad.

Bobby swore to me: "Of course, you are her master after all!"

After that, Bobby glanced at the diners around him and lowered his voice to me: "I'll take you to this restaurant. The food is very unique. You can probably taste it only here in El City. It's delicious." thing!"

I admit, Bobby is more particular about food than I am, and his favorite is fried chicken legs.

There were also some people in the big restaurant whose eyes were attracted by the orc mother and daughter. They glared at them with a bit of disgust. They probably thought that meeting two orcs in a restaurant was very unlucky. .

No one likes to meet dirty orcs while eating. Although the orc mother and daughter look very neat, people here have been accustomed to believe for many years that the orcs living on the Pai Plateau never take a bath. The water of the Lutu River is extremely cold. It is this river that allows the orcs to only have three opportunities to bathe in their lives: when they are born, before their coming-of-age ceremony, and after their death.

In fact, in my impression, the orcs in the orc tribe like to be clean far more than the residents of the slums in El City. At least they can take a shower once every two days on average, while the residents of the slums in El City are There is no way to do this.

Bobby stood next to me, and his personal bodyguard Bablu walked up and whispered to a waiter in the big restaurant. Immediately, the waiter bowed humbly to Bobby and me, and then respectfully We were led from the noisy lobby into a quiet small hall.

...beautiful dividing line...

"No one forced me to become a slave." This was the first sentence the orc female warrior said to me when she sat down.

A moment ago, I asked her why she became a slave. Because the slave traders here have the courage to sell the elven nobles of Etia, and are unwilling to provoke the orcs on the Pai Plateau, in fact, they are afraid of the endless revenge of the orc warriors, so the slave traders on the Pai Plateau will not buy orc slaves to the province of Sloyt, which is too close to the Pai Plateau.

She saw the surprise and confusion in my eyes, but she showed a helpless and bitter smile, bent down and picked up the half-orc little girl who was holding her calf like a koala and refused to let go. There was a rare kind of love in her eyes, looking at her daughter, showing endless sadness. The little girl seemed to have never been to such a place. At this moment, she was stunned by the diners around her who were eating and drinking unscrupulously. Perhaps in her cognition, she had never seen such rich food on the table, nor had she seen people around her drink so happily. Her eyes, which were as beautiful as black beans, kept blinking. One of her little fingers was inadvertently placed on her lips. She looked through the door curtain at the wheat cakes on the neighboring table outside, which smelled of wheat. Her eyes could hardly move.

She just murmured to the girl, "Nannan, I'm sorry to bring you into such a miserable world. You have become a slave before you have the right to choose your life!"

She seemed to be lamenting the fate of her daughter, but I didn't understand why she wanted to become a slave since no one forced them.

Before I could finish my words, someone outside the door lifted the curtain, and a waiter from the food store brought a pot of golden wheat cakes. The rich wheat aroma filled the whole room. The wheat cakes here cost three copper coins each. In almost every corner of Ayr City, wheat cakes are priced the same, but the size is slightly different. Obviously, the wheat cakes here are the largest I have ever seen, but I can see the black bran residue inside the golden crust of the wheat cakes. The little orc girl kept swallowing her saliva as she looked at the wheat cakes that were almost bigger than her face.

"Bring a plate of purple mountain city mutton cheese and a large pot of local sweet milk. It should be boiled hot and add more honey. I like honey collected from linden trees. Hurry up and we are all hungry. Don't rush the stew. It must be well-seasoned and the gravy must be fully soaked in the ingredients. Go and do as I say!" Bobby said loudly to the waiter who brought a plate of wheat cakes, and he didn't even raise his eyelids to the guy.

However, the waiter was very smart and respectful and said: "I will obey your will, honorable magic apprentice!" Then he respectfully left the door.

At this time, Bobby reached out and grabbed a golden wheat cake without hesitation and handed it to the orc girl who was drooling with greed.

The half-orc girl, who was probably only four or five years old, looked at the hot wheat cake in Bobby's hand with some hesitation. Although she wanted it very much in her heart, she always resisted and did not reach out to take it. She just looked at her mother pitifully. She didn't understand what her mother just said, but she had to obey her mother's will. If her eyes were firm, she would not reach out to take the wheat cake.

But she soon found that her mother nodded to her unexpectedly. The little girl almost couldn't believe her eyes. She blinked hard and found that her mother was indeed nodding: OK! She couldn't wait to stretch out her little hand and catch the golden, hot wheat cake. Although the little girl was grimacing, she held the wheat cake with both hands and sent it to her mother.

"Mom, what is this? Why is it so fragrant!" The little girl asked the beast warrior innocently, and then thought about it for a while before making a difficult decision. She said to the beast warrior word by word: "Mom, can I only eat a small piece? I have just eaten delicious black bread, and I am not that hungry. I can take this wheat cake back and leave it to my brothers! I am still young and can't eat so much!"

I seemed to realize where the problem was. I didn't expect someone to be so stupid as to want to sell herself. I really want to know what kind of difficulties this beast warrior encountered.

"The warriors of the orc tribe once stood at the pass of the Guludin Fortress and roared loudly to the emperor of the Green Empire: Orcs will never be slaves!" I roared at her condescendingly. That way of speaking was also the roar of a superior to his warriors. The orc language burst out in my throat like an erupting volcano. I stared at the orc female warrior angrily. All along, in my mind, the warriors in the orc tribe would never have the word "surrender". They would rather die than be willing to be slaves of others.

The orc female warrior had a trance in her eyes for a moment, probably because she recalled those fragments of life in the orc tribe, but her willpower was very strong. She recovered in an instant and said to me calmly: "Food!"

The female beast warrior began to recall the past, with a deep look in her eyes, revealing a touch of sadness: "We are a group of deserters who ran down from the Pai Plateau. We abandoned our belief in the beast god. The orc tribe of the Pai Plateau that year , we dug out and ate all the grass roots within dozens of miles of the tribe, but in the end we still failed to survive the great famine. After the third heavy snowfall in late winter, the tribe’s People kept dying. In the spring after the ice and snow melted, our large tribe of 3,000 people only had more than 2,000 people left. However, even in the spring, there was no improvement. In the winter, the surrounding grass roots had been destroyed. We dug them out and ate them, and more and more people in the entire tribe starved to death. Many tribal warriors had to go to the spring hunt again, and the life of the remaining orcs became even more difficult..."

She recounted the past, and from her words, very clear pictures emerged in my mind:

Winter turned to spring, and after the ice and snow melted, the land was barren. An orc girl who had just participated in the Human Ceremony became an orc female warrior because of her excellent hunting skills. However, because she was a girl, she was excluded from the spring hunting. , after the warriors left the tribe, the livelihood of the tribe became more difficult. In desperation, the old patriarch had no choice but to try to migrate the entire tribe to find a place with more abundant water and grass...

But the tribe was too big, and everything it passed was like locusts crossing the border. It could eat almost everything that was edible along the way. Even so, people would still starve to death. At that time, as long as someone got sick, it was equivalent to being sentenced. For the death penalty, the tribe will no longer provide any food, and the food will be left to those orcs who have hope to survive. The large army of the tribe has to go further to the Yelian Mountains, and the sick orcs will be abandoned. This is related to whether the entire tribe can continue. This is the way to survive in the wasteland.

More than a hundred sick orcs were left on the journey. The feeling of being abandoned was not pleasant. The orc girl's brother was among these abandoned people. The orc girl decided to stay and take care of these abandoned people because of their illness. In fact, everyone knows that the orcs who stay here are just waiting to die, and there will be nothing to eat here. Those days were like nightmares, deeply engraved in the girl's memory. She was looking for food like crazy, but people were still dying, of illness, starvation, and suicides who couldn't bear the pain of disease and starvation. .

Until everyone felt that they had been forgotten by the orcs, and were waiting in despair for death to come.

But what was waiting was a group of horses. A human caravan happened to pass by here. The human boy on the horse proudly waved his whip and galloped in the wilderness. He saw the orc girl kneeling on the ground. , desperately digging the grass roots in the soil, riding on the horse and said to her: If you have something that you think is valuable, you can exchange it with us, we have a lot of rye flour!

At night, the orc girls and the abandoned sick orcs were served the most delicious porridge they had ever eaten.

The human boy frowned and looked at the scraps of metal piled up on the ground. He touched the corner of his mouth with his hand in embarrassment and said: It is difficult for you to exchange these things for more black flour.

In the eyes of the orc girl, businessmen are extremely cunning vampires, but when faced with the hope of living, vampires can also turn into beautiful angels.

The human boy finally said whimsically: Since you can't afford a lot of black flour, otherwise you can work as hard labor for me.

But the orcs of Grudin’s blood wolf tribe made all the orcs remember this lesson: Orcs will never be slaves! Although these orcs were abandoned by the beast god, they would rather starve to death than become humble slaves in human territory.

The human boy frowned and thought hard: My orchard needs a lot of coolies. You can follow me back to El City. You are free. We are just an employer. I can provide you with food, but you must give I will work until you completely pay off your debt, or we should have a deadline. I only need you to work as a coolie on my manor for three years, and we will pay off both!

Then, under the leadership of the orc girl, these orcs set foot on the human kingdom and came to the rich city of El, where there were golden apple trees all over the mountains and plains.

It was also at this time that the orcs who came from afar learned for the first time that the golden apples on the apple trees all over the mountains and plains were not to be eaten casually. All apples had owners.

The life of plowing at sunrise and resting at sunset is so beautiful.

The human boy was originally loved by the elders in the family and had become the leader of the younger generation in the family. However, the good times did not last long and all tragedies came to an end when the human boy and the orc girl came together. , the combination of the two was strongly dissatisfied by the family of human teenagers. But the stubborn young man resisted everyone's pressure and really married an orc girl, and the two gave birth to a lovely half-orc girl.

On the day the girl was born, the human boy fell off his horse and died unexpectedly on the way home...

This group of orc laborers from the wasteland were driven out of the manor, and the orc girl became an ominous person...
