My Magic Age

The backbone of the Magic Academy and the Magic Guild, as well as the entire Guard Battalion Knights, need to stay at this time, and they are responsible for guarding the city of El. Because at this moment, there are at least thousands of barbarians outside the city. These barbarians are scattered and hiding in the civilian areas beside the moat outside the city. They stare at El City with a covetous eye, like a group of hungry wolves, constantly looking for flaws in El City, waiting for an opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from El City.

The falcons in the square have begun to disperse one after another. At this time, I learned from a fellow archer that these warriors who can be called falcons have at least completed the first job transfer and broken through to level ten. The strength of the magicians in the academy and the magic guild is a little worse, but basically they are all magicians like Morayaer who are close to level ten. There has never been a falcon at the level of a magic apprentice before, so everyone feels strange.

This is not like a war. The falcons are actually more like organizing small-scale assassinations, so the mobility and flexibility of the hunting team is particularly important.

Many times, when the falcons perform field missions, they are not willing to bring a weak magician with them. Because although the combat power of a team with a magician can be greatly improved, magicians are not good at surviving in the wild. As a result, many teams would rather have a lower combat power and must maintain flexible mobility.

Only some air magicians who can perform "light body technique" and "floating technique", or some magicians who have magic brooms and can fly freely in such harsh weather in winter, can join the hunting team.

I don't know how Heidi persuaded the captain of the eleventh team. Knowing that I was a seventh-level magic apprentice, this female swordsman named Cynthia readily agreed to let me join her team after Heidi introduced my basic situation. It can be seen that she and Heidi are very familiar with each other. After the two of them greeted each other tacitly, they just exchanged glances and there was no communication.

Although this blinded many people around, I had a hunch that they should be very good friends in private. Only when they are familiar with each other to a certain extent, the eyes of the two people looking at each other will become so tacit, yes, that kind of tacit feeling.

I looked carefully at this swordsman captain with an extraordinary background. It seems that she has a high prestige among these falcons. Her name is Cynthia.

Cynthia carried a huge two-handed sword behind her. The linen wrapped around the hilt showed a charming dark purple, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air. Only weapons that drink blood can make the blood soak the entire handle. It is said that she is the leader of a D-level adventure group in El City. Her personal strength is very strong. She should also be regarded as a celebrity in El City. Just now, I saw a few people come to greet her.

Cynthia is a burly woman over 190cm tall. She is very strong, with thick and big knuckles and calloused palms. She looks very heroic, always likes to raise her eyebrows, has short and neat hair, and has very bright eyes. Her face is a little too strong and lacks a bit of femininity, but her personality is very easy-going.

She saw that most people in the square had left, so she stood up and looked out of the city. After a moment of silence, she said to a few of us: "Let's wait until night to leave the city. It's too troublesome to break through the blockade of the barbarians during the day. Let's find a tavern to sit down."

Then she pressed her forehead with her hand in distress and said to the people around her in some distress: "I really don't understand why Heidi would give me a child. It's really troublesome!"

I was a little speechless: If you don't want to accept it, why did you agree just now!

The assassin Xiu, who was standing aside, asked Cynthia calmly, "Captain, can we go?"

Xiu was the most mysterious among us, because apart from his name and occupation, he did not reveal any information about himself. Even his face was covered by an eye mask. He was wearing a gray leather tights. His figure was very well-proportioned and flexible, even a little thin. He walked in the front and looked very cool.

There was also an archer named Wei En in the team. In addition to an alloy bow, she also carried a heavy waist crossbow. She wore tight fire lizard leather armor, which was engraved with faint magic runes. This set of fire lizard leather armor could not be called magic pattern construction, but it could be regarded as a well-made magic equipment. The difference between magic pattern construction and magic equipment is that the former will enhance the attributes of the warrior himself, while the latter will only increase the attributes of the equipment. The gap between the two is also very different.

Magic equipment is also very precious, but magic pattern construction is one level higher than magic equipment of the same level.

I always felt that the gaze from Vayne's eyes was like a cold venomous snake. When she stared at me, I felt uncomfortable all over and my back was chilled. She seemed to be from the same adventure group as Cynthia. She spoke to Cynthia several times and called her the leader. Vayne didn't look like a northerner. She had thick lips, prominent cheekbones, dark skin, and I could clearly feel that her two arms were different. Her right arm, which was always used to pull the bowstring, was obviously thicker than her left arm.

Seeing that Heidi's mentor walked away with Lord Godfrey, the dean of the Magic Court, Wayne frowned and showed dissatisfaction, and asked Cynthia very impolitely: "Captain, why did you agree to let Heidi take her apprentice on the mission? We are not facing those monsters in the jungle, but cruel and bloodthirsty barbarians, Captain."

Cynthia asked her back: "Why didn't you bring it up to Heidi just now?"

Cynthia turned her head and looked at Wayne, but ignored her. She only nodded to the ranger named Basil who was walking at the end of the team, and then followed Xiu down the mountain.

Basil, wearing the uniform of the Knights of the Guard Battalion, followed with big strides. He had curly blond hair and emerald green eyes, a handsome face with sharp edges and corners, and skin as smooth and creamy as marble. He had a recurve bow behind him and two daggers on his belt. Just by looking at the eagle eye logo on his collar, you can tell that he is a scout in the Guard Battalion.

Among the falcons gathered in the square this time, there were many scouts from the military. Perhaps they felt that they didn't need so many scouts to defend the city, so the masters among the scouts simply became falcons and joined in this hunting activity.

"How dare I mess with her!" Wayne sighed helplessly, turned around and looked at Basil's cuffs with envy, and asked directly: "Are you an officer in the Guards?"

Basil was very honest and did not hide anything. He said to Wayne: "I am just the deputy captain of a 100-man detachment, the lowest-ranking officer in the Guards Battalion!"

"Then I should call you Sir!" Wayne was very interested in this blond scout Basil. She approached him slightly and chatted with him.

Seeing that I was having a hard time walking in the one-foot-thick snow, Cynthia extended her hand. I pursed my lips and stubbornly declined her kindness, whispering to her: "Captain, I can do it."

Cynthia looked at me gently. Compared with those hot-tempered male captains, Cynthia was meticulous as most women. She cared about my feelings and worried that I would be embarrassed. She said to me: "Don't mind what Wayne said. I think Heidi must have her reasons for putting you in my team. It's just that we don't know each other well. I'm very curious about you and I want to get to know you as soon as possible. As a captain, I need to know everyone in the team, don't I?"

I said to her: "You are right, Captain Cynthia!"

Cynthia glanced behind me and looked at the Minotaur Luka.

Cynthia asked me: "Please call me Cynthia directly. Then, Jijia, do you have experience surviving in the wild in winter?"

I answered: "Yes, Cynthia."

As if what I said was a bit vague, she asked further: "What level? Have you completed a winter trip with your parents? Or have you just completed a winter training with the student team of the academy? Or have you lived outside the city before and spent several winters in the suburbs?"

I touched my forehead, frowned and thought about it awkwardly, and then said: "If these three options are forced, it can be regarded as the first one! I have followed the caravan to cross the New Xiachis Mountains..."

At this time, the atmosphere of the whole team was very relaxed. Xiu walked in the front coolly and ignored everyone. Wayne behind tried hard to find topics to chat with Basil, and Basil answered casually, and it can be seen that he has no interest in this dark-skinned, thick-lipped female archer.

But after a few people heard what I said, the whole team fell into a very quiet silence, very quiet.

Perhaps this kind of experience is something that a member of an adventure group can only have once in a lifetime. After all, crossing the edge of the Far North is a very dangerous thing. Along the way, this road passes through the territories of dwarves, barbarians, and orc tribes. These races are not so friendly to humans, so being able to travel through the New Siaqis Mountains is definitely a rich experience in wild survival. Generally, members of an adventure group rarely have such rich wild survival experience.

Cynthia's face lightened up a little, and she coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment, and asked: "Ahem, okay, I kind of know why Heidi recommended you to me. You are a water magic apprentice? You must know "hydrotherapy"! In addition, what else are you good at?"

Yes, "hydrotherapy" is the most basic magic skill of a water magician. It is because of "hydrotherapy" that I have corresponding value in this team.

I answered: "Firearms!" Without any hesitation, I took out the silver long-barreled shotgun from the magic waist bag.

Cynthia stared at the thorium long-barreled hunting rifle in my hand with wide eyes, and said, "This is a good gun!"

"Ice Shield"

After that, I stopped for a moment and casually drew a magic pattern array in the air. A light blue hexagram array quickly emerged under my feet. Within two seconds, an "ice shield" was quickly completed and it kept rotating around Cynthia.

Cynthia stretched out her hand to touch the ice shield, but the ice shield seemed to be sensitive. As Cynthia's hand drifted outward half a foot, it continued to rotate around her body. She said in surprise: "My God, I didn't know that a seventh-level magic apprentice could learn two magic skills at the same time!"

Veyne snorted at the back door: "Under the sharp axes and hammers of the barbarians, such an ice shield may not be very useful! Captain."

I added to Cynthia again: "In fact, I also know a kind of 'ice wall spell'."

I ignored Wayne, her words were a bit harsh.

"Are you sure it's just a level 7 magic apprentice, not a real magician? Heidi and I are close friends, and we have some understanding of magicians. Doesn't a magic apprentice who can condense ice magic mean that his affinity with water has reached a new height? Isn't this something that only a level 9 magic apprentice can do?" Cynthia said in disbelief.

But although she was surprised, her expression was always calm.

As we walked, Cynthia and I said, "My affinity with water elements is fine. I am currently a seventh-level magic apprentice. It's purely because the magic pool only has the magic power equivalent of a seventh-level magic apprentice! I can also do a little bit of weak buff magic, which is better than nothing."

"..." Cynthia said with a surprised expression after a while: "Okay, Jijia, I finally know why Heidi gave you to me this time. I am very honored to be her friend. Now, I am honored to know you. You are indeed a great magic apprentice. No wonder Heidi recommended you to become a falcon!"

"I am also honored, Captain Cynthia!" I must be a little humble, so I said.

...

Then Cynthia took the initiative to talk to Xiu again. Xiu's language was very capable and brief. He still did not say his origin, nor did he take off the mask on his face. He just said that what he is best at is: assassination, concealment, and poisoning. I think he must be a walker walking in the dark world.

The scout captain Basil who came out of the barracks was a 15th-level earth ranger. I didn't quite understand what this meant, but when they heard him say this, Cynthia and Wayne were surprised. Wayne asked with surprise: "Sir Basil, you must know reconnaissance, right?"

I admire Basil a little. Facing Wayne's entanglement, he has always been calm and gentlemanly.

"Yes, since we have become teammates, then I won't hide it!" Basil said this, secretly glancing at Xiu.

After speaking, he gently stretched out a curled arm on the left, and a black yellow-billed harrier hawk rushed into the sky from his sleeve like an arrow, and disappeared into the clouds in a blink of an eye.

After that, he said: "My falcon can tell me where the enemy is hiding!"
