My Magic Age

Chapter 493 291. The dilemma of the hunters in El City

Pushing open the door of the Material Logistics Department, there are actually more than a dozen people waiting in line in the hall of more than 100 square meters inside. The skylight on the roof casts a beam of bright light, making this somewhat dim logistics department, In this cold winter, there seems to be a hint of warmth. There was a fireplace on the wall opposite the main entrance. Some pine wood was crackling inside, and a faint smell of pine filled the room.

Several adults dressed as hunters sat around the chairs in front of the fireplace chatting, throwing a few pine cones into it from time to time.

Shelves four to five meters high are placed against the wall. Various storage boxes and magic sealing boxes are placed on the shelves. Three staff members are standing in front of Indochenmu's counter and are busy.

Moraya wears the orthodox Kalemian magic robe, which is the symbol of a magician. When the hunters saw Ya taking me to the fireplace to warm up, they all got up and gave up enough space and two chairs. Magicians are respected wherever they go. The hunter nodded and sat down without saying a word. Her fair face Her red lips were slightly raised, exuding an elegant aristocratic temperament. She took off the conical hat on her head, revealing her curly chestnut hair, and her snow-white neck was like a beautiful and proud swan. After the winter, she had turned a lot whiter. The slender body also became slightly more fleshy.

I sat down next to her and saw all the people queuing up in the hall, so I asked Ya: "Should I go over and queue up too?"

"You two magicians don't need to line up over there. There will be someone to receive you!" A burly hunter sitting aside interrupted to answer my question. He looked at me and Ya carefully, but Seeing Ya Wanwan's eyebrows slightly twisted, she quickly looked startled. Knowing that her interruption made the female magician a little unhappy, she said with a hint of embarrassment, "Forgive me!"

"I am a magic apprentice at the Magic Academy. My name is Jijia. Thank you for your enthusiastic answer!" I smiled slightly at the burly man in hunter attire, and then said in an orderly manner, which made the rough-looking hunter feel happy. Be at peace.

He was secretly relieved when he saw my friendly words and knew that we had no other ideas and would not offend the two magician nobles in El City for no reason. He nodded politely to me, then turned around and continued chatting with his companions, not daring to get between the two of us. Sitting aside, Ya whispered to me: "Why are you thanking him? I just redeemed my merits here yesterday. Why don't I understand these procedures?"

"Okay, okay, I also have good intentions. I haven't told you what you have gained this time!" I put it next to Ya's ear, and the hot breath of my breath sprayed on Ya's ear. She seemed to feel itchy, and then She gently covered her mouth and sneered beside me. I saw that she was just unhappy that this hunter had stolen her words, and said to her: "Besides, didn't they give up two chairs for us? We shouldn't be grateful. What about them?"

"Forget it, the fireplace and seats here were originally prepared for nobles!" Ya said in an understatement, and then asked me with a smile: "I haven't talked about your gains yet, how are they?"

I deliberately played it off, looked into her clear eyes and said with a smile: "You will know later when I redeem the merit points?"

"Rare!" Moraya rolled her eyes at me angrily and said.

After a while, I said to her in a rogue manner: "Isn't it the best news that I'm sitting in front of you safely like this?"

"Humph, forget it if you don't tell me." Ya raised her eyebrows slightly and stopped asking.

Moraya was not annoyed, she pursed her lips, took out a thick magic book from her pocket, held it in her hand and flipped through it, waiting for someone to receive us.

Although Ya and I both became Falcons of El City at the same time, we were divided into two different teams. After their team left the city, the target they chose was not the Antias Mountain Generation, but directly passed through a large mountain forest. , went directly to the fishing lake. Last year, more than 5,000 barbarian warriors from the Celtic tribe lurked in the mountainous area near the fishing lake. This winter, that mountainous area became the focus of the Falcons.

I looked curiously at the entire merit exchange hall of the Logistics Department. At this time, the conversation between several hunters sitting in front of the fireplace attracted me.

"The total number of guys who went hunting this year is less than half of last year!" said the hunter with an old face, who was slightly hoarse and tired from the business.

The hunter with a beard on the side also echoed: "In the battle at Yuhu Lake in the beginning of spring, many old brothers died, and there are not many left who can continue to work in our profession."

The hunter with an old face continued: "Hunting is really becoming more and more difficult to do. All the larger beasts in the countryside are hunted and beaten by the barbarians. In my opinion, after the spring begins, we My brothers moved to Ziqing Mountain City to make a living. What else can there be in the suburbs of El City except for the golden apple trees all over the mountains and plains? "

The burly hunter had a slightly different view. He hesitated before saying: "Is it really easy to live in Ziqing Mountain City? Let's not talk about the local hunter guild's exploitation of outsiders like us. Let's just talk about it. Those monsters in the deep mountains and swamps are not something that our brothers can hunt, let alone the beast tide that happens every few years. Once we encounter them, we brothers will definitely die!"

The old hunter sighed: "That's better than staying in El City. These barbarians of the Storm Bear Tribe are much more brutal than the barbarians of the Celtic Tribe before. I don't think these barbarians are just here to rob us. You saw what they did in those towns and manors this winter. What are the thoughts of thousands of people surrounding the city now? I'm afraid even the wanderers setting up tents on the roadside know what they are thinking."

The bearded hunter said: "This year in El City, not counting those who were taken in by various families, there are at least more than 50,000 refugees sleeping on the streets and setting up tents in the free market and slave market. To be honest, even if El City survives this winter, what can it do? All the towns outside have been destroyed. How can 50,000 refugees be resettled? ? Their homes were destroyed, and there were a lot of messes within a few hundred miles. At least there were no barbarians in Ziqing Mountain City. They were in the inland of Sloyt Province, and they were not bordering the ice and snow tundra. Moreover, the Second Division of the North Wind Legion there had the Lion Eagle Knights and chariots to resist the beast tide in the deep mountains. In fact, we just lacked some luck. Did you hear that this summer, a team of fourth-year graduates from the War Academy entered Ziqing Mountain for training and actually hunted a two-headed fire snake lizard. "

"Wow!" The other two hunters couldn't help shouting out in envy. They tried their best to suppress their voices, but they still couldn't help it. Maybe they wished that the students of the War Academy who met the two-headed fire snake lizard would be replaced by themselves. The value of a fire snake lizard is inestimable.

The burly hunter couldn't wait to ask: "My God, those students?" and then asked continuously: "What happened later? That beast is not easy to deal with!"

The bearded hunter rubbed his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands, saying: "What else can I do? Kill it, it's a sure kill!"

The eyes of several hunters radiated a scorching glow, as if they would be the next team to encounter the two-headed fire snake lizard in the mountains.

At this time, the wooden door of the logistics hall was pushed open, and a group of people walked in from outside with a burst of cool air. The leaders were three young nobles. They walked in with laughter and chatter, followed by three knights in armor. The three knights were wearing sets of metal armor made of magic red copper. The complex magic patterns outlined by magic runes seemed to be painted on the armor, so that each piece of armor had a faint magic aura spreading outward.

"Magic Rune Construction!"

In El City, Magic Rune Construction is not common, but it can be seen on some noble families. Just like last night, I saw Benjamin wearing armor and keeping watch on the city wall, but he was wearing a set of Magic Rune Construction. It can be said that for an ordinary noble family, having a few Magic Rune Constructions in the family is a concrete manifestation of the family's strength.

But it is a bit too exaggerated to let the followers wear Magic Rune Constructions luxuriously. What kind of noble family can have such strength? This group of young noble children are probably less than 20 years old. They are wearing gorgeous clothes and wearing exquisite long swords on their waists. This set of clothes is very popular in the noble circle. They walked into the logistics department with their chins raised high and saw the stove here at a glance.

Perhaps because the weather was too cold, the nobles walked quickly to the fireplace. One of them, a young man with a marble-like face, stood out. He waved his hand in disgust at the hunters who were talking enthusiastically, and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in his other hand, and then said bluntly: "Why don't you leave quickly? This is also the place for you commoners to sit?"

The faces of the hunters suddenly turned red. The old hunter with a vicissitudes of life saw the clothes and the followers of the nobles, and swallowed the half-sentence in his mouth. He secretly held the burly hunter who wanted to rush over with his hand. Under the mocking eyes of the three nobles, the hunters swallowed their anger and walked to the corner of the other side, gathered together, and kept the voices of the chat as low as possible.

One of the nobles threw a heavy magic box on the coffee table carelessly, making a heavy muffled sound.

It seemed that this little episode could not affect the good mood of the nobles at all. They were talking about the horses raised at home and the strange stories in the fiefdom, and they were also very happy.

Ya frowned and looked at the group of people who were extravagant and licentious, then retracted her gaze and ignored them.

At this time, a logistics staff member in clean clothes came from behind a secret door with a small tray with two exquisite teacups on it. She obviously did not expect that there were five noble children on the fireplace side. She was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around and went back to the secret door. When the staff member came out, there was another teapot and several teacups on the tray.

The girl with an average appearance and a delicate face stood in front of the fireplace and asked politely: "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hey, why did you run away just now? Are our brothers so scary?" The young nobleman with skin as delicate and as white as marble frowned and shouted loudly: "We brothers will come to your place if they have nothing to do. It’s a joke, of course we are here to redeem our merits!”

As he said this, the noble young man put one hand on the magic sealing box in the center of the coffee table and looked around proudly.

The girl blinked her big watery eyes and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, before you guys come, the magician should come here earlier. You guys, please wait a moment for me to get this." Let the two magicians sort out their affairs..."

Before the girl could finish her words, the young noble raised his eyebrows, glared at the girl and said, "Do you know what I want to exchange with you? How dare you treat me and my property so slowly?" friend?"

The girl blinked, with a hesitant look on her face, and still said stubbornly: "Whatever you exchange, you have to follow the order!"

However, the noble boy refused to say anything. He leaned down and opened the magic-sealing box on the table. He pointed at the six barbarian left ears neatly stacked inside and said loudly: "I redeem my merits." The items I ordered were not ordinary barbarian trophies or anything else, but real barbarian corpses, and I brought back their left ears!”

"Who can be as important as me?" the noble boy said proudly.

The young noble showed off to the female staff member with a proud look on his face. The female staff member smiled a little reluctantly, with a look of surprise in her eyes, but she did not dare to hesitate. She just said: "You are from El City." Hero, I can naturally deal with your matters first, I don’t think the magician will care too much, right?”

"Can I get special treatment if I have this thing?" I glanced at the young noble with a half-smile, took out an unusually heavy magic sealing box from my magic backpack, and placed it on the coffee table. When everyone was hesitant, they opened the lid of the magic-sealing box, and a mountain-like pile of barbarian left ears appeared in front of everyone. The barbarian ears inside were like a treasure chest filled with treasures.

The female staff member looked at the scene in front of her in stunned silence, and the nobles were also dumbfounded...
