My Magic Age

A curved silver hook hangs high in the cold night sky. The cold light casts a layer of snow-like light on the entire city of El on a midsummer night.

Even though there is still the warm evening breeze, which can make people's bodies feel a little sticky, it is extremely comfortable to lie quietly on the wicker chair in the small courtyard, shaking the reed leaf fan in your hand. thing. Perhaps there is a bowl of refreshing red bean smoothie on the small wooden table next to it, or a glass of golden apple cider with ice cubes on it.

In this small border town, more citizens like a slow-paced life. They know better than me how to enjoy this beautiful and short life.

The carriage stopped on the street in the East District. The minotaur Luca jumped out of the carriage. The bluestones on the surrounding streets shook heavily. He turned around and wanted to help me off the carriage, but was stopped by my look. I put one hand on the railing at the door of the magic caravan and jumped down gently. Although I was wearing a magic robe, my body was not limp at all.

Benjamin stuck his head out of the car window and waved goodbye to me and the Minotaur. I stood there and couldn't help but sigh: This is really an unforgettable night!

"Jia, I don't think it's a wise move for you to trouble the half-elf Nicholson at this time!" Benjamin squatted on the carriage worriedly, facing me who jumped off the carriage and stood on the roadside stretching his waist. Admonished, he was trying to dispel my idea along the way.

Seeing that I was smiling and not answering, he knew that his dissuasion was of no use, so he stopped talking further.

But after he warned me, he immediately praised me: "But, having said that, Jijia, is your ice wall a new skill? Now even the seniors in the fourth grade of your magic academy are afraid Not many people can learn three magic skills at the same time Yes, how can you, a kid, rely on your ice affinity to learn ice magic so unscrupulously? You are not afraid of affecting your own magic pool practice. A first-year magic apprentice should spend his time constantly breaking through the realm. This semester!”

I said to Benjamin calmly: "You know, there are always one or two magic apprentices in special circumstances. In the initial stage, they don't really need to rely on meditation to reach the realm!"

Benjamin seemed very satisfied with my answer. He retracted his head and just stretched out a hand from the car window to wave to me. His voice came lazily from the caravan: "I'm suddenly looking forward to spending time with you during the summer vacation." Adventure, Chia, maybe it will be an unforgettable trip!”

Looking at the carriage slowly walking away, I whispered in my mouth: "Thank you for tonight's business!"

I patted the tauren Luka who was looking at the golden apple tree in the courtyard across the street with my hand, and motioned him to follow me. He swallowed hard and looked away with difficulty.

With a body height of nearly three meters, he is obviously a giant on the street. The courtyard walls on both sides of the ordinary street are like half-length walls to the Minotaur Luca. All the scenery in the yard is blocked by the Minotaur Karu. All in sight. However, the focus of his eyes was more likely to fall on the fruit trees in various courtyards, and his mouth watered constantly when he looked at those green and sour apples.

Even though the magic covered carriage was dozens of meters away from us, I could still clearly hear the conversation inside the carriage...

"Benjamin, why do those weirdos always appear in your college?" One of Benjamin's friends said to him.

On the contrary, the voice of the coachman at the door came to my ears. His voice was a bit hoarse. He didn't seem to have spoken much along the way. At this time, he actually commented on me: "Another outstanding driver." Water magic apprentices, it seems that in recent years, there have always been outstanding water magic apprentices appearing in El City’s magic academy.”

Benjamin's escort team is really everywhere. Such an ordinary coachman can speak in such a loud tone. I don't know what to say.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to believe that there would be such a genius among the freshmen of the Magic Academy!" Benjamin's friend continued.

Another friend said: "Yes, fortunately we have become friends. Benjamin, why don't you try to bring him closer to your team. Although you already have a magician in your team, With one more water-type auxiliary magic apprentice, the strength will increase exponentially!"

The carriage turned around and merged into the avenue at the intersection, and their whispers in the magic caravan slowly disappeared in my ears.

"Jia, where are we going?" The tauren followed me and asked me in the orc language with a little hesitation. His words were full of caution. It seemed that the young tauren must have been very careful after leaving the wasteland. I have suffered a lot.

On his hairy chest, you could clearly see some criss-cross scars. After the collar symbolizing slave was torn off, a circle of faint blood marks was left on his neck. I don’t know how he was deceived from the wilderness by those slave traders. Every tauren is kind-hearted by nature, and they are even more attached to their hometown. Slave traders are very afraid of the vengeful fire of wolf orcs, and they rarely dare to take the initiative of wolf orcs.

For slave traders, there are two kinds of orcs in the wasteland that are more popular with human nobles than wolf orcs. One is the extremely powerful tauren. When they reach adulthood, their strength will even be stronger than those on the ice and snow tundra. Those barbarians, or the ogres in the southern wilderness. The other type is the Centaur tribe with amazing endurance. Centaurs and horses that can run faster than galloping horses are born to be elite cavalry. If anyone can control the cavalry troops of the Centaur tribe, he will gallop across the endless wilderness. The werewolf who was the dominant figure in the wilderness was also looking forward to those people and horses.

"Of course I'm taking you home, to our home!" I looked up at him sincerely. Now that I can only reach his waist, it's very difficult to communicate with him at close range!

"Go home..." The tauren Luka looked dreamily at the Pai Plateau in the distance.

"Of course, you are free now. Maybe tomorrow I can find a caravan in the city that plans to go to the wasteland for trade and let them take you home." I said to him with a smile, his honest look reminded me of I saw the two tauren in the wasteland, and those beautiful days lingered in my heart again.

Unexpectedly, he shook his head sadly and said to me awkwardly: "I don't want to go back like this!"

"oh?"

To be honest, I was a little surprised when I heard Luka say this. I looked at him suspiciously. I knew a little bit about the tauren's beliefs. I didn't understand why he didn't want to return to the wasteland.

He sat down opposite me so that he could look at me levelly and speak without too much difficulty.

"I want to feel the wind different from that in the wilderness, taste all the delicacies in this world, and see the mountains and rivers that are different from the scenery in the wilderness. Jia, I want to travel around the entire continent!" The tauren Luka Tell me sincerely.

His eyes were very sincere when he looked at me, and looking at his honest look, I couldn't help but say to him: "If you can have enough patience, then wait for me and explore this continent with me! "

Hearing what I said, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the fire of hope in his eyes was slowly ignited by me.

"But before that, you must make yourself stronger!" I said seriously to the Minotaur Luka: "The outside world is far more dangerous than in El City. We must have enough strength to protect ourselves!"

For tauren, the way to increase their strength is very simple. As long as they keep eating, they can become very strong.

Luka thought for a moment and said to me: "Okay, I want to explore this continent with you! Jia."

I put my hand in his big, furry and very warm hand.

...beautiful dividing line...

When Fanny opened the door and saw two hairy legs outside the house, she almost fainted from fright.

At that time, she must have imagined the Minotaur Ruka as the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra. In her impression, only barbarians were like this. Tracy heard Fanny's call and ran downstairs wearing a small and cool suspender skirt. She saw Fanny holding the door with a pale face and glaring at me outside the room. Lucca looked innocent. Sitting next to me, I looked timidly at the hostess here.

After Fanny regained her breath, she listened to my story about the tragic experience of the minotaur Luca. She found that this honest and honest minotaur was not as unbearable as ordinary people said, and his temperament was also honest and honest, so she warmly invited him to join us. Stay. Of course, when describing what happened, I simply said that we got acquainted in an underground boxing arena, and that Lucca won the match and gained his freedom. He was released on the spot by a kind-hearted slave owner, and the slave contract was torn up on the spot. .

When Liant came out, he kept marveling: A big man like Luka is really strong.

But for Luka, my house was too small, so our family had to move the dining table to the yard. We sat on chairs, while the minotaur could only sit on the grass.

Fanny looked embarrassed and took out the last basket of bread sticks. Seeing the way that Minotaur Luka was still eating with gusto, she knew that he was not full yet. These breads were our family's food reserve for a week, and he had eaten them all in one meal. After eating it, the bread sticks that are usually enough for our family to have a good meal, for the minotaur Luka, can only be stuffed into his mouth in three or two bites. I don’t know how this guy was treated at the slave owner’s house who escaped during the battle, and he was so hungry.

But this honest and honest tauren didn't even mention the word "hungry" before starting the meal. I felt a little guilty and thought, I was really negligent!

But fortunately, the tauren are vegetarians and they don't eat any meat, otherwise Liant and I would really be hungry.

The meal was very harmonious. The Green people did not think that the tauren were the same kind as the fierce orc werewolves. Compared with the ferocious steppe wolves, they were more receptive to the kind-hearted tauren, at least Fen. Ni and Liante were not opposed to dining at the same table with Luca. Tracy Yao watched with interest as Luca gnawed the bread with relish. This gave her the illusion that the bread Fanny made today was not the same. Very delicious? So she curiously cut a small piece with a silver knife and put it into her mouth... She frowned and took a sip of broth before swallowing the bread in her throat. It was not delicious!

There were some strange noises near the courtyard wall, and Liant and I were the first to turn our heads and look over.

The neighbor's guest poked his head out from the edge of the wall. Under the gazes of Ryan and I, he smiled awkwardly. His exaggerated expression always made me feel like he was a clown. It was really weird. Knowing how he survived on the battlefield, just when we were looking at him in confusion, he suddenly raised a hand with difficulty, holding a cloth bag of wheat flour in it, which was bulging.

He called me softly: "Jijia, come and take a handful!"

"Bin, what is this?" I quickly ran over, took the bag out of his hand, and asked him through the wall.

The wall between our two families was a bit high, and I had to lift my feet to catch the heavy bag. But Bin didn't say anything at this time. He seemed to be peeking at Tracy. On a midsummer night, girls would wear very cool clothes at home. Of course, Tracy wouldn't mind being looked at by the tauren.

"Ahem!" I coughed twice. If Tracy found out, Bing would be in trouble.

Everyone knows that the girls on our street are not easy to mess with. Whether it is Sister Dali, Tracy, or Annie, they all have very hot tempers. If you think about it this way, Tracy is the gentlest among them. One of them, but this guy has a strong sense of justice and was bullied Ent has instilled some very fatal thoughts, the kind of thought that will never give up on its companions no matter what on the battlefield. Sometimes, I think: Fortunately, Tracy is a girl and does not have to go to the battlefield, otherwise Lent and others Old-fashioned thinking will kill my god-sister.

Having said that, Tracy also has a bad temper. At least she doesn't like Bing very much. It's not that she thinks Bing is a philanderer, she just thinks he's not a grown man sometimes.

Bin just woke up at this time, his face suddenly turned very red, and he just said vaguely: "Well, this is a bag of bread. Dali saw a special guest coming to your house, and thought maybe your house Maybe there won’t be enough bread tonight, so let me bring these over and treat your friends well, I’m going back!”

"Bin, thank you, and thank Sister Dali for me!" I quickly said loudly to Bin's back as he left in a hurry.

Bin just raised a hand to indicate that he heard.

The bread in the bag was very mixed, with all kinds of bread, white bread, brown bread, wheat cakes and so on. I thought Sister Dali might have taken out all the edible things in their kitchen in a hurry.

Fanny sat on the chair and sighed: "That kid Dali is really a careful person!"

Whenever Fanny praised other girls, Tracy would shrink like a quail, and she would face tons of fire from Fanny if she had the slightest disagreement.

The tauren Luka is not picky about food, but he prefers brown bread with coarser grains than finely ground and fragrant white bread. He said that black bread is chewy.

Well, for the first time, I had doubts about the taste of tauren. Black bread is made from black flour mixed with wheat flour and bran. How can it taste better than white bread? But it didn't look like he was telling lies.

At night, the minotaur Luka could only sleep outside. According to Fanny's idea, even if she sleeps outside, she must at least bring out a big bed so that Luka can have a good rest.

This proposal was opposed by Luka and I. Tauren generally like to sleep on the grass. Only when they can see the stars when they look up can they sleep peacefully. In summer like this, a simple straw mat is enough.

Fanny and Lionel went to bed early, Tracy and I lay on the ridge of the attic looking at the star map in the sky, and Lucca lay on the grass under the house.

In such a quiet night, I told Tracy how to distinguish the star map in the sky. I didn't expect that Luka also knew the star map. That's right, the tauren are also a nomadic tribe in the wilderness, how could they not understand the star map!
