My Magic Age

This swing is built next to the fountain. On such a hot summer night, the campus seems silent. Only the crisp chirping of insects can be heard on the grass not far away. I walked over slowly, for fear of destroying the harmonious and beautiful picture in front of me.

At that time, Ying Li was sitting on the swing, wearing a black and white magic robe, with a braid hanging on her chest, her feet naturally stretched into the cool fountain, and she was just playing with the water casually. She patted the shallow stream gently with her two bare feet, splashing a bunch of water splashes... She couldn't help but smile. At this time, I couldn't help but laugh as I kept walking slowly towards her. I don’t know if it was my laughter that startled her, but Ying Li suddenly raised her head and stared at me deeply... The moment she raised her head, a heavy magic book in her hand fell to the ground, and there was silence. There is a crescent moon in the sky, and the snow-white moonlight shines slantingly, illuminating her innocent smile and beautiful face, making it very clear and moving.

I sat down on the stone platform next to the fountain. The sparkling water reflected our shadows.

She picked up the magic book in a panic but with a slight embarrassment, and sat calmly on the swing. The two of us just stared at the bright night sky in silence.

He didn't know how long it had been quiet like this, but Ying Li suddenly raised his head, his bright eyes filled with energy.

"What a stingy person!" She pursed her lips slightly and pouted in distress.

I turned my head to look at her in astonishment and said softly: "Me?"

She seemed a little embarrassed by me, but she always met my eyes, looked at me, and said without giving in: "I have been sitting here waiting for you for so long. When you come over, at least speak and say goodbye first." I said hello!"

The willful and pretty look of the girl next door was perfectly interpreted by Ying Li at this moment.

I touched my forehead speechlessly and said embarrassedly: "I really can't bear to ruin this beautiful scene. I was worried that you were still angry with me just now. I was just thinking about what to say. What topics can I use to please you? You, you just came out of Yerkes Scholar, and now my mind is full of magic patterns. Even if I look at the sparkling water, I can feel the layers of silver scale-like lines reflected on the water. They are all wonderful magical patterns!"

"Haha!" Yingli laughed happily because of me. She is a girl who loves to laugh. Her eyes are always like two curved moons. When she smiles, there are two deep smiles on her face. She has deep dimples and her eyebrows are not very beautiful. She can only be regarded as a delicate girl at best, but her quiet and elegant temperament is not something that any beautiful girl can have.

"You're so annoying, you always like to tease people like this!" Ying Li covered his lips with his round, white hands and said slightly.

I didn't make any excuses, I just looked at the void in front of me, and a trace of the moist breath of the water element condensed on my fingertips. It was next to the fountain. The breath of the water element was extremely strong. I could easily borrow it from the surrounding air to fill it up. water element.

The ultimate true secret of many advanced magic skills is to mobilize the magic elements in the body to draw complex magic pattern arrays, and use these magic pattern arrays to resonate with the surrounding magic elements, which can borrow the huge magic elements in the world. This It is the law of heaven and earth contained in the so-called advanced magic.

It's just that we who have just become magic apprentices cannot understand these deep things at this time.

The reason why I have so many insights tonight is because of the long conversation I had with Yerkes throughout the afternoon. Scholar Yerkes saw that I had no intention of going to the imperial capital to study with him, so he took advantage of the opportunity while he was still in Egypt. During these days in Ercheng, I want to systematically explain to me some magical theoretical knowledge that I can understand now. This afternoon's conversation was to introduce me to some basic structures of advanced magic, the most primitive form of magic patterns, and the evolution of magic patterns.

Seeing the sparkling waves in the pool, for a moment I seemed to be able to understand what Scholar Yerkes wanted to express to me. The textures on the water were like cloud patterns in some water magic. I stretched out my fingers and As if possessed, he drew extremely smooth magic lines in the air in front of him, and those smooth lines intertwined in the air to form a magic net.

The realization at this moment made me actually use water magic elements to draw a strange spider web pattern in the air. Ying Li was sitting next to me at this time, covering his mouth in surprise and trying not to make any sound. But she was still frightened by my strange behavior.

For us magic apprentices, we can touch the basics of some elementary magic skills, but for many advanced magic skills, it is difficult for us to grasp their true essence. This makes it difficult for us to learn advanced magic skills in the early stages. of magic. Chasing the root cause, it is nothing more than that advanced magic requires more magic power, greater spiritual power, more elemental affinities, more skilled techniques for drawing magic patterns, etc.

And my performance at this moment was already beyond the scope of ordinary magic knowledge, because the spider web composed of fine ice silk between my fingers happened to be the magic pattern I drew at will, but according to my thoughts, a magic pattern actually appeared. A strange ice silk spider web.

"Jia, what is this?" Ying Li asked me with surprise on his face.

Ying Li is a magic apprentice who has read all kinds of magic books, but she doesn't know what the magic pattern array I drew is, but it seems that this mysterious magic pattern array has become a magic skill. Many people think that the path Ying Li will take in the future is the path of the Yerkes scholar, becoming a knowledgeable magic scholar. This is directly related to her liking to spend all day in the library and not liking meditation.

"If I say I don't know, will you think I'm perfunctory?" I turned to look at her with a wry smile.

Because I was slightly distracted talking, I couldn't continue to inject my water magic power. The spider web composed of countless ice threads could not float stably in front of me at this moment, and fell in like a huge snowflake. In the fountain in front of me, the ice The crystal-like magic thread was looming in the night. If there was no reflection of the moonlight, it would be difficult for me to see it clearly. The moment this crystal clear ice crystal spider web fell into the pool, a huge spider web shape suddenly condensed on the water. six-pointed star-shaped ice edge.

Ying Li and I were both stunned by the scene in front of us. Who could have imagined that the ice silk spider web, which was less than a foot square just now and was looming in the air, suddenly expanded tenfold after falling into the pool. The entire water surface of the fountain was sealed off, and the strangely cold power of the water element condensed into arm-thick icicles in the water. Countless sharp spikes sprouted from the surface of the icicles.

Ying Li murmured to himself: "I used to think that it was not a wise move for you to give up your fire magic talent and choose to learn the water magic talent skills. But now I realize that I was very wrong. After all, the person who knows you best is It’s you, Jia, your ice magic is really powerful!”

Huge ice cubes float in the fountain, finally bringing some coolness to the hot summer nights.

Ying Li took a long breath, stared at the icicles in the pool, and said with some embarrassment: "Jia, you're not angry with me, are you?"

"Angry? Why are I angry with you?" I looked at her in shock and said to myself: I want to pamper you but it's too late, so why am I angry with you?

She saw me speaking without any hesitation and gave me a sweet smile.

"Because in the morning, I said something to you, and then went to the classroom with Nichols too much. I don't know what happened to me at that time!" Ying Li said to me.

I didn't know how to comfort her, so I paused, organized my words carefully, and then said, "This is normal!"

She looked up at me in confusion. I looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and then said: "That's because you and I are originally people living in two worlds. Our living habits and temperaments There are big differences in personality, upbringing, and values, and these problems will gradually become apparent as we continue to get along. "

"I don't think there is any difference between the two of us!" Ying Li argued eagerly.

I shook my head with a smile and continued: "You are a noble who has lived in a gorgeous palace since you were a child. You have lived a life of fine clothes and fine food since you were a child. Although you always complain about the unsatisfactory childhood, in general, you She is a princess who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. She received a good aristocratic education since she was a child. You came to the magic academy in El City to sharpen yourself. "

She suddenly flashed her big eyes and put on an aggrieved look, saying that it was not my fault that she was born in a noble family.

I put my finger on my chest and said mockingly: "But I am a wandering wild child. I have lived with the orcs in the caravan since I was a child. In order to survive, I also suffered a lot. I have been trying to learn some more useful knowledge to protect myself. I have learned how to hunt, such as tracking wild animals in the wild. Herds of cattle, hunting magic antelopes by the pool, and hunting wind wolves in the wilderness. I learned leatherworking, and I could even peel off three layers of leather from a piece of high-quality cowhide. In order to survive, I also read through the books. I read some orc books, learned about magical herbs, and even killed gray dwarf bandits on the Death Road in the Northern Wasteland."

Ying Li bit his lip with his teeth and defended himself in a low voice: "I don't care about these!"

I shook my head, paused and said to her, "Of course I know!"

That's right, a girl who is willing to work hard to make herself appear more ordinary for me certainly doesn't care about my previous experiences. I went on to say, "If they hadn't taken me in, maybe I would be no different from the poor kids in the slums outside the city. I might have been struggling for a living early on, or I might have been picking up briquettes in the slums."

Ying Li may have thought of me being thin and small, picking up coal briquettes in the slums, and his expression turned ugly.

I suddenly stepped on the ice floating in the pool. Rather than stepping on the ice, it would be better to say that I used my "water walking" magic skill. I was floating on the water. I squatted in front of her, put my hands on her soft knees, and looked at her closely.

She was like a little deer, looking a little flustered and looking around with her eyes at a loss. However, the entire laboratory building was quiet. Only in the laboratories above the third floor, The lights are on all night long.

She was probably looking for Helena. Every time I tried to kiss her, she would avoid me.

The entire fountain was like a flat floor to me. I even sat down cross-legged comfortably on the water and continued to say to her: "You know, I grew up in a caravan, and my first teacher was An old orc who knows some medical skills, I just Knowing how to collect herbs can preserve the maximum magical power of herbs, but I don't understand the etiquette of those nobles. I only know who is my friend and who is my enemy. Treat friends with barbecue and wine, and treat enemies with food. Only bows and spears.”

Finally, I concluded: "So, the two of us are like people living in two worlds, but it is the hub of the Magic Academy that brings us together. That's why you were so angry in the morning, but I felt that I I didn't do anything wrong. I thought stupidly at the time that I was being very kind to the orcs in the wasteland by not beating him until his parents didn't recognize him. The only rival in love is the fist, and whoever has a stronger fist will win the favor of the beast girls."

"But fists can't solve all problems! Since you have become a magician noble, you must always take care of your own dignity!" Ying Li carefully rolled his eyes and looked at me.

"Aren't there duels between nobles?" I said.

"But you don't need to duel at all, because even if Nichols wins, he can't change anything, and I won't give up... So in this case, why do we still have to duel?" Ying Li had her own thoughts. .

Only then did I realize that Ying Li was so angry in the morning because he saw that I was going to duel with Nichols and thought that I regarded Nichols as his love rival. This view was clearly a distrust of Ying Li. , this is the root cause of Ying Li's anger. In fact, if I had treated Nicholls as air and ignored his existence, this would have been a more tasteful approach for nobles. At least it would not be as lethal and the means would be more elegant.

Thinking of this, I felt much happier.

I looked up at the sky and saw that it was already very late, so I said to Duoying Li, "It's so late, I'd better take you home first!"

When Ying Li heard what I said, he readily agreed.

I stood up, jumped out of the pool and walked towards the outside of the college. Ying Li was behind me, hurriedly putting on his cool leather shoes.

She suddenly said to me from behind me: "Jia, when I was flipping through this magic book a few days ago, I found a way to cure 'demonization'!"

Ying Li's sudden words made me shout excitedly. In this quiet night, my cheers went far away...

A friend wrote a book, The Almighty Samurai Lottery System, which is quite good. The book is out of stock, so you might as well take a look.
