My Magic Age

On the way back to the dormitory, I fell into deep thought, thinking about the path I would take in the future. My mind was in chaos, thinking that after all, it was because I was not strong enough.

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to awaken Sister Guoguo. This is also the purpose of giving up my persistence and coming to the Imperial Capital with the letter of recommendation written by Teacher Heidi. The Yerkes scholars may be able to There are some good ways, and according to Qi Ge, a large amount of money must be prepared. After all, even if a method is found to revive the memory in Sister Guoguo's soul, a large amount of magic crystals will definitely be used.

Last night, I was talking with Qi Ge about awakening the memory of the soul, and I discovered that Qi Ge seemed to know something about the soul. Of course, what she knew was very limited, and it happened by coincidence.

Women are naturally not immune to gorgeous jewelry, and Qi Ge is certainly no exception. Although she is a magician, she likes jewelry made of rubies or sapphires very much, such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and headbands. Crown and so on. The reason why Qige was able to hear some things about souls and magic was because she saw a black diamond being auctioned by a merchant at the largest auction house in the imperial capital last year. At that time, it also caused quite a stir among the upper-class aristocratic circles within a small area of ​​the imperial capital.

At that time, the auction house also entered the field of vision of many upper-class nobles. All women with some reputation in the imperial capital received invitations from the auction house.

With her unique insights into magic herbs, Qi Ge is considered a leader among the young magic pharmacists in the imperial capital. And because Qi Ge is also a famous female magic pharmacist in the Magic Research Institute, she is also accepted as a female magic pharmacist. I received an invitation from the auction house to participate in the auction of black diamonds.

It is said that the corpse witches of the undead clan in the underworld all possess powerful soul power. The ghost fire in their eyes is the source of soul power. As long as the ghost fire in their eyes continues to grow, even if their bodies are destroyed, they can still relax. The earth resurrected among the bones on the altar, but the corpse witches could not They will live forever. When the corpse witches die, the soul power contained in their eye sockets will condense into black crystals. After these black crystals are carefully polished by jewelers, they become precious black diamonds, so black diamonds are not It is not a natural gem, but a precious gem passed down from the underworld.

These black diamonds have an immeasurable effect on the undead to strengthen their soul power. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the undead clan will strictly control these black diamonds. Almost every corpse witch who dies will be noticed by many undead powerhouses. Therefore, it can be said that there are very few black diamonds that can be spread from the underworld.

Moreover, every precious black diamond brought out from the underworld requires those strong men to pay a high price, so the selling price of these black diamonds is very high.

Qige was able to know that black diamonds were soul-based magic gems because of the auction and the hard publicity of the merchants.

Qi Ge said that maybe the black diamond might have some effect on restoring Guo Guo's incomplete soul.

On the magic caravan, I suddenly realized a very real problem, that is, in the Imperial Capital, the center of power in the Green Empire, some things cannot be avoided after all. The words 'power and money' cannot be avoided.

…

The learning atmosphere in the Royal Academy of Magic is very strong. Walking on the campus playground, you can see students gathered in twos and threes, talking about magic issues. Or someone could simply take out their wand, draw a magic pattern array in front of them, and then point to a square tomb above. son �

When I passed the library, I thought about the tens of thousands of books in it. Each book had a huge appeal to me. I was thinking about how to get a lot of points in the magic academy. This was also a priority. Maybe There are books about soul repair in it. You must find a way to get some Royal Academy of Magic points.

Thinking about those things in my mind, I walked back to the dormitory building unknowingly.

When I returned to the dormitory, I saw a group of young maids carrying bags of household garbage, walking out of the dormitory talking and laughing. I turned sideways to make way for them, and the young maids looked at me. Salute respectfully and put a humble smile on your face. Many times, etiquette and smiles are the protective colors of these civilian maids. Maybe a smile can save them from a lot of unnecessary troubles or unreasonable entanglements from nobles.

I saw that the door of the dormitory had been scrubbed and looked brand new. Several maids were surrounding the marble pillars in the corridor, scrubbing the dirt hard. The reliefs on the stone slabs of the walls finally showed their original writing and patterns, and the wooden floor of the hall was also stained. It was covered with a layer of shiny wax, and a general cleaning activity was going on in the dormitory building. Of course, the magicians in the dormitory didn't bother to do these menial tasks with their own hands.

I saw Noah leaning on a stone pillar at this time, chatting leisurely with the dormitory administrator with his hands in his pockets. Apparently the middle-aged administrator was in a good mood. He was wearing a black uniform and said to Noah with a smile. After a few words, when he saw me walking in from the door, he stopped talking. Instead, after looking at me, he nodded slightly to me, and then walked back to the room belonging to the administrator.

After Noah saw me, he hurriedly greeted me and asked me curiously: "Hey, Jijia, you came back just in time. The dormitory is being cleaned. Why don't you ask these attendants to clean your room thoroughly as well?" ”

"Don't bother me! I can do it myself." I hesitated for a moment, and then said to Noah.

I looked at the young maids with some strangeness and wondered in my heart: Could it be that every time the college organizes cleaning of the dormitory, so many maids are suddenly hired to carry out a thorough cleaning, and it takes a long time before returning to the dormitory? Will public areas be cleaned again if their common areas are filled with rubbish?

So I asked Noah: "Does our college hire so many people to clean the dormitory building every time?"

"What's the trouble? These maids were temporarily transferred from my family's manor in the imperial capital. I couldn't stand the environment here, so I called all the maids in the manor, including female slaves, to clean up the place. "Noah came over and said to me with a smile, and he put his arms around me. He got up and walked upstairs, and said to me as he walked: "But I just heard from the administrator of our dormitory that during the period before the start of school, this place will be a bit chaotic. After school starts, there will be special servants When the time comes to clean up the dormitory, we won’t have to worry about it.”

After listening to Noah's words, I was very speechless. I thought that Noah was indeed a young master from a noble family. Because of his excessive mysophobia, he had all the attendants in the manor mobilized to the college and completely cleaned up the entire dormitory building. Cleaned up again.

While talking, I had already arrived at the door of my dormitory. I opened the door and was about to invite Noah to come in and sit.

I saw Noah waving to the corridor quickly. As expected, the maids who were cleaning the walls in the corridor on the second floor were secretly looking at Noah. When they saw Noah's call, they quickly came over and saluted Noah, and then Ask in a low voice: "What can I do for you?"

"This room...well, clean it well, be careful not to damage the things on the test bench." Noah didn't allow me to refuse, and directly asked the two maids to enter my room and began to clean the entire room. .

I followed Noah from downstairs to upstairs, and found out that these cleaning maids were generally very beautiful in appearance, and some of the slave girls with collars around their necks were quite pretty. I had some questions in my mind, and I guessed what Noah was doing. Which aristocratic family does Ya belong to, and he actually has such a pomp?

In my room, except for a few magic engraving pens placed on the writing table, and a stack of palm-sized magic parchment randomly thrown on the writing table, there is basically nothing else, so I am not worried about that. The two maids would recklessly damage anything in the room.

Noah was about to drag me into his room when the wooden door of the opposite room creaked open and a young man wearing a very orthodox black robe walked out, with a childish face. He had very thick fur. He blinked his light blue eyes and said to me and Noah very kindly: "Hi, guys, would you like to come in and drink a cup of freshly brewed lemon tea? My name is Dennis Black. I am also a new student of the Magic Academy this year. I am very happy to meet you. "

"Hi Dennis, my name is Noah and his name is Jijia."

"Hi Dennis, hello!"

Noah and I did not refuse Dennis's warm invitation. Since we are both freshmen at the Royal Academy of Magic, we will definitely take classes together in the future. Noah and I also wanted to get to know this new classmate, after all, he is also our new neighbor. , in the next few years, if nothing else happens, life and study will almost be together.

It seems that Dennis is also very easy-going. There is a small tank of oil burner on the test bench, and a round glass vessel is set up on it. It spurted out, and I opened my mouth wide. I was so surprised that I didn't know what to say. It was the first time I saw someone using alchemy equipment to make tea for myself. It seemed that Dennis was also a magician with a very unique personality.

Seeing that Noah and I could open our mouths enough to swallow a whole egg, Dennis felt a little embarrassed and rubbed the back of his neck with his hands, and said with a naive smile: "Sorry, I just came from Salta Province, so I'm not ready yet." Tea sets, I rummaged through the magic fanny pack, and these are the only ones I can find, but luckily, I have tried these lemon teas, and they taste great. Let me introduce myself again, I am Dennis Blake from Salta Province. ”

"I am Noah from Palestina Province. Are you an alchemist?" Noah approached Dennis' desk and looked at the bottles and jars on his desk curiously.

Dennis used the round beaker on the iron stand to brew two cups of hot tea for Noah and me. The fragrance of high-quality lemon slices suddenly came out, and the cup of tea smelled very refreshing. He looked very humble. , said politely: "I am just very interested in alchemy and have not officially become an alchemist. Being able to become an alchemist is also my dream."

However, in my opinion, the magicians who can join the Royal Academy of Magic are the best in the magic schools in each province. Of course, there are also magicians like me who can enter the Royal Academy of Magic with a letter of recommendation. But I think this is a minority after all.

"I'm from the northern province of Sloit." I reached out to pick up the cup and tasted Dennis's lemon tea. The taste was a little weird. There was actually a little salt added to it. The tea was salty.

"Ah, I heard that you often fight with foreigners there, is it true?" Dennis asked me curiously when he heard that I came to Sloit Province.

"It's okay. It's just that every winter, the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra will cross the frozen Benma River and go to the south bank to catch slaves. The situation has been much better in the past two years. The command of the North Wind Legion is concentrated in Jingyue In the hands of the Grand Duke, our heavy armored cavalry regiments will often patrol along the river bank, and the battles are always It is unavoidable. War is all about luck. Either the heavy cavalry regiment surrounded and annihilated the barbarian squad, or the barbarian warriors led their men to make dumplings of the heavy armored cavalry regiment. In short, the relationship we formed with the barbarians It’s a deadly feud, a fight to the death,” I explained to Dennis.

In Salta Province, which is adjacent to the mountains at the southern foot of the Pai Plateau and the vast barren mountains to the west of the Purple Green Mountains, there will probably be no wars. It can also be regarded as the hinterland of the Green Empire.

Dennis' eyes were filled with envy, and he asked me curiously: "Jijia, have you ever seen those big guys? You know I'm talking about the barbarians in the North."

Dennis’ question reminded me of the scenes of hunting savages in winter, so I said: “Of course, they are very tall. Generally, adult savages can reach about four meters in height, and they are not afraid of the cold by nature. Even if It's in winter, They usually only wear a pair of hard leather shorts. Occasionally, someone will tie a huge piece of armor made of a shield to their chest and carry a large iron rod weighing hundreds of kilograms. When swinging that kind of heavy weapon, it can easily kill a person. The stone houses were smashed." I described the physical signs of those barbarians.

Noah on the side sighed: "I heard that those barbarians are born with brute strength and can easily lift heavy objects. It seems that these descriptions are not exaggerated at all, and when it comes to the North Wind Legion in Sloit Province, Those heavy cavalry are considered the strongest marine regiment in the empire!"

"If I have the chance, I really want to stay in Sloit Province for a while. I heard that it's easy to accumulate military merit there. If I were in Salta Province, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much chance of being promoted to a noble title!" Dennis is obviously a very ambitious magician. Master, but his words indicated that he wanted to be promoted to Lord based on military merit, and also revealed that he was a magician from a commoner or a minor noble family.

I smiled and said to him: "I think Sloit Province and the North Wind Legion will welcome an excellent magician like you at any time, and we have a hunting period of at least five months every winter, which is enough for you to survive in the harsh winter." Hunting those savages."

Dennis's eyes lit up, and he was obviously very moved when he heard what I said.

There have always been very few magicians who think like Dennis. Magicians are not very willing to join the army, because there are many commandments in the army, which greatly restrict the freedom of magicians. More magicians like to join. Some adventure groups are more free.

"If you want to be promoted to a Lord, you don't have to freely hunt foreign invaders..." Noah sat aside and added.
