My Magic Age

At noon, the bell for the gathering rang melodiously, and it was finally time to say goodbye.

Ying Li reluctantly followed the battle team organized by the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy and walked into the temporary teleportation array at the entrance of the academy. They will be the first to arrive at the next ancient castle, where there is a portal to the Manda plane. These fourth-year students in the academy will experience a training journey of about a month on the Manda plane.

After Ying Li followed everyone into the portal, Le Die passed by me like a stranger, ignoring me. Lucia nodded politely to me, and the two of them left the square in front of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy hand in hand.

The square in front of the gate of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy became a mess. The parents who came to see them off also left one after another. Only a few gray pigeons landed and walked around leisurely in the square full of garbage, looking for something to eat. Obviously, this place will not disappoint them. The students in the academy left a lot of garbage, among which the most discarded on the ground were food scraps and some fruit cores.

Carriages dispersed from the entrance of the academy one after another and merged into the extensive road network.

I declined the warm invitation of Prince of Wales and left the Junior Magic Academy alone and silently.

On the street, I found a magic caravan, gave the address on the key plate to the driver, and asked him to take me to the place where Rengar's daughter lived.

Sitting in the carriage, I felt the wheels rolling on the bluestone slabs, making a "creaking" sound, and then the magic caravan drove away from the Junior Magic Academy.

...

The carriage drove all the way into the seventh district of the imperial capital. When passing No. 22 Road, I stuck my head out of the window and took a look at the distant Sein Square and Campbell Sanatorium on the north side of the square. It just flashed by. The carriage drove into the residential area, and my sight was blocked by a row of houses standing on the street, and then I retracted my gaze.

The seventh district of the imperial capital is the most marginal area of ​​the imperial capital. Although the streets here are still clean and tidy, the distance between street lamps has obviously become a little farther. The trees on both sides of the road have been planted with some different kinds of fruit trees such as pears, hawthorns, apples, plums, etc., and even some chestnut trees are planted in the yards of some houses.

Entering the residential area here, you will obviously feel that there are more pedestrians on the street. The atmosphere of life here is very strong. There will be many old people lying on the benches under the trees to chat, and some children wearing linen clothes chasing each other on the street. The clotheslines in the yards are full of clothes, and some houses have a small storage platform in the attic.

Most of the houses here are three-story buildings, and each house has a clear house number on the front door. On our days off, Ying Li and I would wander around the streets of the imperial capital. At that time, I envied the environment of the common people in the imperial capital, and felt that the places they lived in were more luxurious than those built in the rich areas of El City. Later, I learned that these two-story or three-story buildings were actually crowded with three or five different families.

These poor people often only have one bedroom, and they need to share the living room, kitchen and bathroom. Their daily lives are not as comfortable as they seem on the surface.

I saw some younger children being left in the room by the adults. They could only lie on the window and watch the children playing and frolicking on the street with great envy.

The shrub walls on both sides of the street are all planted with some blueberry trees, which are closely arranged together. At this time, the strings of light blue flowers on the blueberry branches have withered, and they are already full of small blueberries, which are like hawthorn fruits, and the color is still green.

When these fruits are ripe, these fruit trees may be able to slightly improve the lives of people in the slums of the imperial capital.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of an alley. The coachman opened the wooden door of the carriage and nodded to me politely. I threw a silver coin to him and told him that if he could wait for me here, I would take his magic carriage back the same way. At that time, I would pay him two more silver coins. The coachman was naturally overjoyed and laughed happily, nodding his head.

Obviously, for him, if he could earn three silver coins a day, it would be a good income.

Then I jumped off the carriage and saw that the house number here was indeed the same as the key card. I walked into a slightly messy yard and found that there were actually several people standing in this yard.

One of them was a middle-aged man in a gorgeous silk robe, standing on the steps with a big belly, staring with a pair of big copper bell eyes, pointing at the civilians around him and saying: "Stop arguing, I will drive those two orcs out today, but the cost of the attic they rented will be shared by you until a new tenant is found. Don't think I'm joking."

Someone in the crowd immediately complained: "This is unfair, Master Ivan, why should we pay for the rental of that house?"

The middle-aged aristocratic man viciously stepped on the wooden pier of the steps, pinched his waist with one hand, pointed the other hand at the person who complained, and said in a very harsh tone: "You didn't ask me to put those two I was driven away by an orc. For this reason, I will suffer a loss of four silver coins every month. Who will be responsible for my loss? Well, of course it is you! "

"And I have to take some risks, sir. He is a warrior of the orc tribe, a liger. It's not like you haven't seen the two scimitars on his waist. They have seen blood. ." After the middle-aged aristocratic man finished speaking, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his greasy face, then rolled his little eyes and stared at the group of people.

I stood quietly at the door for a long time, and found that no one noticed me. Just as I was about to walk in, I heard chaotic footsteps behind me.

Looking back, I saw a group of knight lords riding on horses, with a civilian boy leading the way at the front. The boy was already panting from exhaustion. The boy kept running into the yard, then collapsed on the ground, gasping for air. Then he pointed to the attic of the house and shouted loudly: "Master Knight, it was from that window that I saw the banshee."

I didn't expect to meet a group of knights from the guard camp here. When I heard what the young man said, my heart sank.

It's true, Rengar's daughter is not an orc, she is a harpy with royal blood. If they are strictly divided according to race, they should be monsters that are bred from demons and beasts. , but those harpies of royal blood should have rudimentary wisdom. As for the banshee upstairs, it’s hard for me to define what she belongs to. It's really not good for the gentlemen to capture the guard camp.

Although she is the daughter of the liger Rengar, her physical features reveal all the characteristics of a royal harpy. Even though she has the blood heritage of a liger, those knights will certainly not pay attention to this. , I think they prefer to study whether there is a magic core in the harpy's head.

When the young man shouted, I followed the direction of his finger and looked toward the attic, and I actually saw a slender figure flashing past the window.

My eyes are so sharp, even though there was a light veil inside the attic window, I still saw some pure white feathers.

However, at this time, the knights were busy dismounting, and when they looked over, there was no one in the window.

The knights in the guard camp looked at each other suspiciously, and then turned to the civilian boy with stern expressions and said fiercely: "Child, you have to know that if you deceive the knights in the guard camp for no reason, you will receive ten lashes."

The civilian boy's face paled after hearing this. It was obvious that he knew very well how horrific the punishment of whipping was, but at this time he still nodded firmly, making sure that he understood the consequences.

When the knights walked into this small courtyard and saw me at the door, they didn't pay much attention at first. They just thought that my strange clothes were a bit annoying. However, when they saw the magic badge on my chest, their arrogant expressions became very kind again. I nodded slightly and followed the boy one after another into the courtyard.

The fat middle-aged nobleman in the yard saw the common boy leading a group of knights from the guard camp and jumped in anger. However, he did not dare to get angry in front of these knights and just glared fiercely. After taking one look at the civilian boy, he hurriedly rubbed his hands together, showed a simple and honest smile, and stepped forward to greet him.

I secretly thought, this face changed really quickly. If I hadn't seen his sharp and mean face before, it would be hard to imagine that such a broad-minded and fat aristocrat with a friendly smile on his face would be so... The teeth are sharp and the mouth is sharp.

The last knight passed me by. The next second, he suddenly stopped, then turned around and looked at me carefully.

I looked at him strangely and saw the knight from the guard camp suddenly slapped his forehead with his hand. With a sudden look on his face, he squinted his eyes and smiled kindly at me: "Your Majesty the Magician, are your injuries healed? Are you ready?" Why are you here? The Magic Guild must have sent you to assist us!"

I glanced at him in astonishment, and immediately remembered that this knight from the guard camp was actually the knight who foolishly ran into the Tower of Pride last night and wanted to take me to the guard camp to assist in the investigation. Obviously, when he knew that I and Wei Wei After having a good friendship with Prince Ers, when he saw me again this time, his tone and attitude changed significantly.

Hearing what the knight behind said, the whole team of knights stopped and looked at me in surprise. Only then did they see me standing by the door wall - and the magic badge shining on my chest.

So a knight with captain's epaulettes walked over quickly, stood in front of me and neatly performed a knight's salute to me. With a smile on his face, he said to me very enthusiastically: "Your Majesty the Magician, are you there?" It would be great for you to personally cooperate with us in investigating the remnants of the Priory. Welcome! I am the captain of the 57th Guard Battalion, Montgomery."

Recently, the security camp and the Magic Guild jointly cleared away the remnants of the Black Magic Priory. Apparently, he regarded me as the magician responsible for clearing out the heretics of the Priory. At this time, I was worried that I would not be able to participate. With the help of this The topic of the knight captain was very happy and I touched the magic emblem on my chest. Zhang, and then said humbly to the knight captain: "Sir Scholar, you just asked me to assist you. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, the Magic Guild will give you the greatest support and help. Jijia, the water magician, applied for temporary If your team, Lord Knight Commander Montgomery."

"Well done, Magician Jijia!" Knight captain Montgomery saw that I was so polite and directly stated that he was not here to seize power, but to assist in the investigation and provide help. Naturally, he was extremely happy and shook my hand affectionately. Then he held my shoulders and walked into the courtyard with me. While walking, he introduced to me what they knew. It turned out that this civilian boy directly approached them on patrol and told them about their residence in the civilian area. In the attic, there is a white bird monster.

After hearing what the knight captain Montgomery said, I felt nervous for a while, thinking that this matter was really tricky. I didn't expect that by chance, Rengar's daughter would be exposed at this time.

Although the Green Empire's laws do not explicitly prohibit the entry of harpies, these warcraft with rudimentary intelligence are also strictly controlled, and once the news spreads, I don't know how many demon hunters will come. Hunt down this young harpy. Even if those demon hunters really kill Rengar's daughter, I can't do anything to them, because their vocation is to be a demon hunter. Hunt this kind of monster with rudimentary intelligence.

I sighed softly, thinking that since I promised Rengar to take care of his daughter for him, I would naturally keep my promise.

I raised my head and glanced at the fat middle-aged nobleman who was stopped aside. I saw that the noble medal on his chest was only a first-class baron.

In this imperial capital where "counts are everywhere and there are as many viscounts as dogs", a small first-class baron really cannot let the knights in the guard camp take a high look. He is just a small nobleman living at the bottom of society. Maybe his situation is relatively better. At least he still has such a property in the imperial capital. He can rent it out to these common people in exchange for some silver coins every month to live.

So at this time, the middle-aged baron looked nervous. He always wanted to come over and explain a few words to Montgomery, the knight captain of the guard camp, but was stopped by other knights.

As for the civilians who were surrounding the middle-aged baron just now, they were already cowering in the corner in fear. At this time, no one wanted to be involved in this incident, so no one was willing to come over.

The knights in these guard camps are used to being arrogant in these civilian areas. They are almost not prepared to ask questions. After understanding the basic situation inside this house, two knights strode to the door and wanted to rush into this house. in the house.

At this time, I gently pulled the knight captain aside. Seeing him looking at me in surprise, I quickly said: "With all due respect, Captain Meng, in fact, I also obtained this through other means this time. Some information says that there is a liger here who is keeping a harpy in captivity. It is said that the liger is a very brave warrior..."

"Roy, wait a minute!" Captain Montgomery was also smart and understood what I meant immediately, and immediately stopped the knight who was about to rush up and kick the door.

Then he set his sights on the fat middle-aged nobleman. Captain Montgomery stroked the sword on his waist with one hand, walked over slowly, and looked at the middle-aged nobleman with a faint sneer on his face.

Before he could speak, the middle-aged noble turned pale with fright and felt so guilty that greasy sweat broke out on his forehead.

Captain Montgomery still didn't understand the situation and shouted sharply at the middle-aged nobleman: "I see you are really desperate for your money and your life. You dare to take in anyone. Tell me who you gave the attic group to. Wait a minute. Be careful, I will kill you first and then label you as a heretic of the Black Magic Priory!"

Captain Montgomery quickly pulled out the knight's saber from his waist, and placed the bright and dazzling saber on the fat neck of the middle-aged nobleman, making a gash on the fleshy skin of his neck. His sword skills were really good. Yes, the blood vessels on the neck were avoided. The open wound only exposed the white fat inside, but there was no bleeding.

But just such a movement frightened the middle-aged nobleman to the point where he collapsed completely on the ground. All the feces and urine leaked out from his lower body, and an unpleasant odor came from under his buttocks.

"Mr. Knight, please forgive me. I am renting the attic of this house to a pair of orc father and daughter. The liger warrior said that she is a mercenary and is making a living in the imperial capital. His daughter is very precious. I have always been wrapped up tightly, with a light veil, and I have never shown my true face to others. I really didn't know it was a monster!" The middle-aged baron had a complete mental breakdown at this time. He vomited out all the information he knew, and then murmured the same sentence repeatedly as if he was possessed: "I I am a noble...don't kill me...I am a noble...don't kill me..."

Captain Montgomery was so angry that his face turned pale. He kicked the middle-aged viscount to the ground, then turned his head and looked at the civilian boy who had already been scared silly. He was the one who led the knights of the guard camp here. At this moment, he saw the knight captain with a cruel look on his face, walking towards him, thinking that he was going to kill him, and he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.

"If it weren't for the wizard Jijia reminding me, I wouldn't know that there was an orc warrior in this attic. Why didn't you say it just now?" Montgomery questioned the civilian boy angrily, the tip of the saber against the boy's forehead, as long as he applied a little force, the tip of the knife could pierce into the boy's head.

"Wow... I don't know, I don't know if he has come back. When I looked for you, the lion-tiger man hadn't come back yet. He often goes out and is gone for a few days..." The boy burst into tears, and then choked and said these words.
