My Magic Age

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that the female gladiator known as the 'Black Thorn' in the black boxing arena was Hamasaki, except that now she had a bright golden collar around her neck, with the name of the slave owner written in gorgeous and smooth lines.

How could I forget her, how could I forget! Because she was the deputy leader of the Star Adventure Group who dared to stand on the street of Guludin with a big iron spear and wanted to kill me in front of Old Kuru and Sister Guoguo. If she hadn't forced me to reveal some magic flaws at the last moment, Mondtroya would never have known that I was born with magic, and would not have risked setting up a trap with the lion-tiger Berngar to abduct me in Guludin. Although these things have become the past, Sister Guoguo died because of them.

In the past few years, I have been hiding in the city of El, never daring to reveal my identity, just worried that she or the leader of the Star Adventure Group, Baoji, Montetroya and others are still looking for me. Finally, I can participate in the awakening ceremony and finally become a magic apprentice. When I have a magic pool in my body, there will finally be no more terrible evil spells that can plunder the magic talent in my body.

Now I am eager to know the whereabouts of these people. Things owed to others must be paid back sooner or later. Yes, last night I lay on the small wooden bed in the attic and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, just because the faces of Hamasaki and Baoji always appeared in my mind. I really want to know what kind of abominable things they are doing in the underground black boxing market.

Hamasaki, who successfully registered as a weapon fighter in the Warrior Guild, has become a gladiator in the underground black boxing match. Holding the familiar big iron gun in her hand, her eyes seem to have lost their soul. I don’t know why she can still insist on living under such extreme humiliation. Maybe in her opinion, being alive is far more important than having dignity.

My hands were clenched into fists, and my whole body was tense like a long bow with a slow bowstring.

Benjamin, who was standing by, saw that I looked strange, and turned to ask me with concern: "Giga, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

I shook my head vigorously, putting aside the hatred that surged like a tide in my heart, and reluctantly told him that I was fine. At this time, all the ten gladiators who were going to participate in the competition tonight were already standing on the bronze platform. At this time, a host in a gorgeous tuxedo began to introduce the gladiators on the bronze platform one by one, often talking about their most brilliant achievements, or mentioning their best martial arts and weapons, etc.

In my opinion, this is a very exciting gambling event. All the people watching the competition have lost their minds and tightly grasped their money bags, and vigorously cheered for the gladiators they valued. Almost every gladiator had some supporters, but there were a lot of young nobles surrounding Hamasaki. They were all shouting "Black Thorn" and waving their fists to squeeze forward.

Benjamin took out a purse from his arms and threw it to me while his two friends were not paying attention. He smiled and winked at me, and whispered to me: "If you want to support that person later, be bold. If you don't have any good ideas, then choose Hansenlton with me!"

He pointed to the soldier who stood on the bronze platform with a shield in one hand and a Roman sword on his waist with the other hand. It seemed that Benjamin had full confidence in him. I returned the purse in my hand to Benjamin. Our relationship has not yet reached the point where we can control each other at will. I lifted a corner of my magic robe to reveal the bulging purse inside. After shaking it with my hand, I heard the sound of coins jingling inside. I said to him, "I have brought enough of this stuff too!"

When he saw that my purse was full, he looked at me in surprise and muttered, "Have all the magic apprentices become so rich now?"

"Don't forget, we have achieved the best results in El City in the past few decades in Xinliu Valley. We have all gained something!" I saw Benjamin's surprised expression, so I explained it to him.

The two friends of Benjamin thought we were discussing who to put the chips on, so they came over and put forward their own views. The friend in sheepskin soft armor said that he would support the strong lizard man. It is said that the lizard man's scimitar is very fierce. But the other friend vowed that Marta, who was looking at the huge hammer on his shoulder, was the real god of war and had never been defeated.

I was a little surprised that the host said that these ten gladiators were all undefeated in their introduction. I asked Benjamin puzzledly: "Master Jie, these ten gladiators have never lost a single match. Could it be that the host is bragging for them?" "That's definitely not the case. They won't ruin their reputation!" Benjamin shook his head immediately to indicate that it was impossible. A friend at the side said pointedly: "Of course it's a record of undefeated, because if these gladiators lose a single match, they will not only lose the game, but also their lives!" ... Beautiful dividing line...

A beam of fire burned brightly above the copper platform, and a huge stone wheel was suspended in the air. Sixteen steel cables as thick as a baby's arm firmly fixed it to the wall of the second floor on the east side. The entire diameter was enough Ten blue lights are burning on the five-meter-long time wheel. The flames, ten flames evenly formed a circle, and on each blue flame there was a half-foot-tall little man made of flames. After looking carefully, I realized that these little flame men were clearly... The shrunken shadows of ten gladiators on the bronze platform. These little blue flame figures can actually perform various movements on the heart of the flame, and their movements are very vivid and lifelike.

Two giant hands of the same length rotate slowly on the stone turntable. The atmosphere in the black boxing arena has reached its peak. I don’t know how the host in the tuxedo ended up next to the time turntable. He shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Let us wait and see, let us See which two gladiators will be bound together by the wheel of time!"

His voice was so loud that it could cover all the shouts on the field. A low bell rang, and the black boxing arena became quiet. All the onlookers began to hold their breath quietly and stared at the time turntable. Which two people will the two pointers stop on? As the two heavy black hands gradually slowed down and finally landed in two adjacent grids, waves of exclamations came from outside the venue.

At this time, the two blue flames pointed by the two huge hands extinguished, and the two virtual images of more than a foot tall figures dancing on the flames slowly disappeared. At the same time, the mummy assassin and the soldiers dressed as imperial soldiers were surrounded by flames around the bronze platform. A circle of flames appeared, which was very eye-catching in such a noisy arena. Everyone knew that the pendulum of fate connected their two lives together, and the two of them would fight to the death in the iron cage.

"Damn, it's actually an Assassin vs. Shield battle. How can there be a chance of winning in an Assassin vs. Defense battle!" Benjamin's friend on the side immediately beat his chest and said. Although his first choice was the Hammer Warrior Talma, he also Paying attention to the mummy assassin with very special clothing.

As for this alternative dress of wrapping the whole body in linen, I have seen it on the leader of the Storm Chaser Adventure Group, Vilu. He also likes to wrap the whole body in linen, but this mummy The warrior was even more amazing, even covering his face completely, and he didn't know how his eyes could see the surrounding scenery. But I can be sure that this mummy assassin is not Viru. ​​It is much shorter than Viru.

Listening to the tone of their whining and complaining, I felt that between the two men, they were more inclined to the mummified assassin who wrapped his whole body in linen.

However, I saw that Benjamin also looked unhappy. When a charming maid carrying a silver plate walked over, she didn't even bother to place her bet chips. She just turned a blind eye and let the maid walk by. I asked Ben curiously. Jamie: "Aren't you very supportive of Hanselton? Why didn't you place a bet just now?"

"In a battle where victory is certain, there is nothing to guess..." Benjamin actually said this. It seemed that he really did it for fun and to enjoy some exciting activities full of uncertainties in the duel.

On the contrary, although the two friends said they supported the mummy assassin, when the maid came over with the silver tray, they still obediently threw the chips in their hands into the tray and bought Hansenton to win. , but in this way, the odds have dropped again and again, and finally the odds are 10 to 50.

It seems that everyone is not optimistic that the Mummy Assassin can win, because the restraints between professions are too different. Assassins of the same level have almost no chance of winning in shield battles of the same level, so the odds of the Mummy Assassin But it is very high, it has reached buy one and lose three, but no one is still willing to buy the Mummy Assassin to win.

The two gladiators were then taken into the iron cage respectively. At this time, the onlookers gathered around the iron cage again, preparing to watch the first battle.

I skillfully took out a gold coin and tossed it in my hand to avoid the suspicious looks from around me. Some people didn’t think that young people like us had enough spare money to buy chips, so there were always people. We are constantly paying attention to our every move. This kind of boxing match gambling is the biggest feature. However, not all people watching the match here are from wealthy families. Some ordinary nobles can bet a gold coin in the match, which is considered a big deal. Therefore, when I toss a gold coin in my hand, I will avoid being mistaken by some people as just coming here to watch the fun.

But I really didn’t plan to bet on these two people, but it backfired. When I followed Benjamin and squeezed upstairs, a maid in the crowd was also holding a silver tray to collect the betting money, but at this time she He no longer had time to care about the harassment from those scheming people. He just bit the bullet and endured the little tricks of those who were trying to take advantage of him, and tried his best to sell the chips in his hand. I don’t know who suddenly pushed me from behind, and my body suddenly leaned forward in the crowd. I pressed one hand on Benjamin’s shoulder to barely prevent myself from falling, but the hand in the other hand The gold coins flew out. I was thinking sadly that if the gold coins fell on the ground, I wonder if there would be any way to pick them up. There are too many people here.

But by chance, the gold coin that kept rolling in the air suddenly fell into the silver tray. The maid followed the trajectory of the gold coin and looked directly at me, then gave me a sweet smile: "Dear magician, who do you want to buy to win?"

I thought speechlessly: If I reach out and pick up the gold coin in the tray at this time, and say to the maid very shamelessly that I don’t buy anyone, will the maid despise me!

So I didn’t even think much about it the next moment, and pointed at Hansenlton and said without hesitation: "Just buy him!"

The maid looked embarrassed and said to me tactfully: "Hansenlton’s chips have been sold out, or you can change something else?"

I looked at the stack of chips in my hand speechlessly. I don’t know why I was obsessed just now, and I actually bought a bunch of chips for the mummy assassin to win!

Benjamin looked at the chips in my hand and said to me: "What you are doing is like throwing gold coins into the pond!"

I looked innocent, and Benjamin could not bear to blame me. Instead, he comforted me and said: "You will bet with me later, and we will get back the money you lost..."

The staircase where we were was not the best place to watch the game, so Benjamin directly pulled me to the second floor. The four of us squeezed on a railing on the second floor. Looking down from here, we could clearly see the complete fighting scene. The four of us leaned on the marble railing and poked our heads out to watch the fierce fighting scene in the iron cage.

The rhythm of the battle in the iron cage was very fast. The mummy assassin just entered the iron cage and stuck tightly to the thick steel bars of the iron cage. He squatted at the door motionlessly. He held the sharp dagger in his hand like a calm venomous snake, opening his mouth wide to choose someone to bite.

The imperial warrior was wearing a light leather armor, which was the standard equipment for archers in the imperial army. He only had a simple breastplate to protect his chest, and a battle skirt underneath. His strong and powerful legs had a unique rhythm in their steps, and he ran fast and slow. He had one hand on the Roman sword at his waist, and the other hand holding a knight's light shield. He looked at the mummy assassin expressionlessly, with a scornful smile on the corner of his mouth.
