My Magic Age

I have been busy all night, thinking about what reasons I should use to apply for leave from the college's teaching office in order to get the approval of the director of the teaching office.

I put my hand on my forehead, still worried about the stubbornness of the orc warriors. Those orc warriors who were used to hunting bows and spears were somewhat resistant to muskets and crossbows, thinking that these were toys only for children. , but some young orc warriors seem to be more receptive to these crossbows, and the dwarf warrior Bernd and I agree that light crossbows and muskets are more practical than longbows in caves.

However, before considering how to convince those orc warriors, you should at least convince Kalantso first.

Ella has already put on a plaid cotton knee-length skirt, carrying her exquisite little hunting bow, a bright dagger on her waist, and a tiger tooth necklace around her neck. She is holding her schoolbag diagonally and following I said to Kalantso, "I'm going to school," and ran out.

Kalancuo was leaning on the sofa, gently polishing her big sword with a whetstone. She was wearing a silk suspender skirt loosely on her body, and her slender wheat-colored legs kept dangling in front of me. After wandering away, I asked her: "Is it really okay to let her go out alone?"

"She is already trying to become independent. An orc as big as her can already hunt small animals such as gazelles or guinea pigs alone in the wilderness." Kalantso didn't seem to be worried at all and concentrated on wiping her long hair. sword.

After a while, she suddenly stretched her heroic eyebrows and said to me: "If there is nothing going on here, let me go back to Xinliu Valley and leave the dwarf who only knows how to drink all day long in the underground cave. I am worried that he will wake up when he wakes up." , will become some delicacies on the goblin barbecue rack. Those goblins have always had a good appetite. They don’t care whether the food is a chicken or other animals. As long as it is edible, they dare to eat it! "

"You don't have to learn how to use the muskets, but all the orcs must be proficient in how to use the crossbows. I leave this matter to you, and you must learn how to use it first!" I put a piece of crossbow on the coffee table. He handed the newly assembled crossbow to Kalancso who was lying aside.

She held it steadily in her hands, with a faint smile on her lips, and casually loaded the five short-tailed crossbow arrows on the coffee table into the crossbow. Then she flattened her arms, almost without any preparation or aiming, and pointed at the wall. Bang bang bang bang, it was like five consecutive hooks. I didn't even see clearly what she did to reset the tendon bowstring. I just saw the crossbow arrows inserted into the target in the shape of a plum blossom.

"Have you... used it before?" I asked Kalantso in surprise.

"The orc warriors think it is a toy only for children. The main reason is because it is too simple!" Kalancso was slightly proud. She held the crossbow and gestured at me. She held it with both hands. When he was pointing the crossbow at me, he didn't pay any attention to the pair of rabbits on his chest, squeezed together in the suspender skirt.

I turned my head away from my eyes and spoke in a somewhat unconfident voice, probably because of a guilty conscience. I said to her: "Slowly, you will discover the advantages of the crossbow!"

"Okay, my master, I'll wait and see!" Kalantso stretched his proud body, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then said: "Are you sure a batch of goods will be delivered today?"

"Waiting, it should be here soon!" I said, looking out the window again.

A very ordinary black French caravan was parked in front of the door. There was a very eye-catching nine-tailed fox emblem on the carriage. I had seen this kind of logo on a magic airship in Gurudin Airport. It was the emblem of Qige's family. I quickly walked down to the basement, used the 'Time and Space Breaker' again to knock on the teleportation door, and then said to Kalantso: "Go and ask a few more orcs to move things together." , this should be the last batch.”

"OK."

Kalancso ran from the living room to the basement. In just a few steps, he quickly put on the leather armor and skirt, slipped into the mirror-like portal, and disappeared as smoothly as a loach.

The last part of her shout came to an abrupt and uncoordinated end, as if she had lost her voice.

This is the power of the portal, which can tear open cracks in the void and connect two different planes, or even different time and space.

…

When I rushed to the yard, a middle-aged coachman jumped down from the driver's seat and opened the sliding door of the carriage. It was filled with magic-sealing boxes and oil drums.

The coachman looked at me seriously for a moment, without asking my name, and gave me a salute directly, and then said calmly: "These are the things given to you by His Highness Qige. His Highness also specifically told me that they must be Store with care."

His body was completely wrapped in a black cloak, making him look somewhat mysterious.

There were ten magic sealing boxes stacked in the carriage. Each of these metal boxes made of magical red copper was 80 centimeters long, 40 centimeters wide and 60 centimeters high. The outer surface was covered with sealing circles. I opened one at will. Only seal the magic box , the square partition inside was actually filled with wheat bran. When the wheat bran was gently pushed aside, a black fire bomb, as big as a landmine, with fire magic runes engraved on the surface, emerged from the inside.

I roughly counted, and there were eight fire bombs placed on each layer. Each magic-sealing box has three layers, so a magic-sealing box contains twenty-four fire bombs, so the total is two hundred and four. Ten fire bombs. In addition, the compartment of the truck was filled with five-liter square oil barrels, fifty barrels in total, which were filled to the brim with corpse oil.

I didn't expect Qige to send me so many supplies at once. In fact, I just offered to buy ten barrels of corpse kerosene and fifty pyrolysis bullets, including the muskets, crossbows, steel pipes and some other items I had ordered before. The strange machine parts ate up almost all my savings. This costly preparation before the war made me understand what war is, and war means constantly spending money.

Currently, in the imperial capital's military supply market, the price of a fire bomb has risen to one gold coin plus seventy silver coins, and a barrel of corpse fire oil costs more than ten gold, so this cart alone is worth nine hundred Multiple gold coins, one gold coin can be exchanged for 10,000 copper coins, and more than 900 gold coins are equivalent to 9 million copper coins. Such a large amount of money is an astronomical sum to me.

Even these gold coins can buy a very nice house in the imperial capital where land is at a premium.

I thought of that night at the Magic Research Institute, Prince of Wales asked Qige to make some crazy potions. Qige rudely asked for payment from Prince of Wales, and also asked for additional conditions. For Qige’s I am a bit frightened when I think about this attitude of never taking a loss at any time. I don’t know how much it will cost me to pay for so many fire phosphorus bombs and corpse fire oil.

It seems that Qige must have made a plan and wants to become my biggest creditor. It seems that it is necessary to find a way to make money for herself.

I nodded lightly to the coachman, with a very gentle tone, and said to him, "Thank you for your hard work. I will thank Your Highness Qige in person."

Unexpectedly, the coachman ignored me and just silently unloaded the magic box and oil drums in the truck onto the lawn beside the stone road. Then he quickly jumped onto the charioteer's seat and waved his riding whip. He walked away without saying a word.

I stood on the side of the road speechlessly watching the magic caravan go away. I didn't expect that a carriage driver from a wealthy and noble family could be so impressive.

Kalancso led the orc warriors out of the house in stride, looking at the carriage in the distance with sharp eyes. She had the instinct of orcs to predict danger. She stared closely at the carriage, and her body naturally moved. He tensed up and said to me with a serious face: "The people on that carriage have the power to be integrated with nature, they are very strong!"

When I heard Kalancuo say this, I realized that I really thought of the problem a bit simply, wasn't it? You have the guts to drive a carriage alone and deliver nearly a hundred magic crystals. How can you do it if you don't have strong strength? If that person was a second-level swordsman of level 20 or above, how could he deal with a junior magician like me...

For some things, you will probably have answers when you get to Qige.

…

The orcs brought by Kalantso are very strong, each of them can move three magic-sealing boxes at once.

The three orc warriors moved all the fire phosphorus bombs into the basement of the house at once.

She stood beside me, as if she had something to say to me. I knew what she wanted to say, and she just wanted to go back to Xinliu Valley. But before she could speak, another carriage stopped next to me. The wheel wrapped in isinglass stopped silently.

The magic pattern array is engraved on the steel wheel hub of this magic caravan, and the magic power is constantly flowing. I can really feel the force that is constantly floating upward, supporting this magic caravan, making the car body appear light. A lot, but when the carriage stopped , the magic circle stopped running, and the chassis of the magic caravan seemed to have suddenly lost an invisible big hand. The weight was suddenly concentrated on the wheels, and the entire magic caravan actually made a "squeak" sound, like some thin The metal components were twisted and deformed.

This magic caravan seemed to be loaded with extremely heavy cargo, which had reached the upper limit of the weight that the caravan could bear. I curiously looked inside from the car window and saw Bud's familiar face. The magic caravan stuck its head out and said to me with a smile: "Good morning, Your Majesty the Magician Jijia."

He pushed open the door and stepped out of the carriage. His sharp eyes saw fifty barrels of corpse oil stacked on the grass. He was a little stunned and said: "Your Excellency, Mr. Jijia Magician, you are really generous!"

Then he added: "His Royal Highness Qige's warehouse is really deep into the sea, and he actually purchased so much... kerosene at once!"

Two store clerks from the trading company followed out of the carriage. The two men were carrying a heavy-looking wooden box. They moved the magic caravan with grimaces in pain. The wooden box seemed extremely heavy and stuck. Lan Cuo walked to the wooden box with a suspicious look on his face, leaned over and grabbed the armrest of the wooden box, and asked curiously: "It looks quite heavy, what's in it?"

Kalancuo's original intention was to open the lid of the wooden box and see what was inside, but what was a little embarrassing was that she didn't see the buckle of the wooden box clearly. She held the handle of the wooden box with both hands and lifted the wooden box lightly. The box was lifted...

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly solidified. The two store clerks who looked quite strong jumped onto the magic caravan in shame. Bard followed them with suspicious eyes. At this time, I could feel that both of them were at this moment. The backside will definitely be hot.

Kalancuo's face turned slightly red, and he immediately put down the wooden box. The heavy wooden box fell on the lawn with a bang, leaving a deep mark.

At this time, Bard was sure that the two store clerks were not lazy, but that the beast warrior in front of him was very powerful, and he looked at her in disbelief.

I leaned over, squatted down, and opened the wooden box. I saw rows of metal parts inside, which seemed to be quite exquisitely made. Each round wheel was stuck on a small metal frame.

At this time, Bud said to me: "Magic Jijia, these metal parts were rushed out by the blacksmith workshop. Please check and accept them!"

I casually turned the metal wheels with grooves in the middle, and the metal wheels turned very easily.

I said to Bud: "The production process is very good, thank you Brother Louis for me!"

While they were talking, the three orc warriors had already moved fifty barrels of kerosene into the basement. The expression on Bard's face was a little hesitant to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but said to me: "Jijia Magic Teacher, those kerosenes are dangerous and flammable items. If they are stored for too long, please be careful. It may be safer to store them in the warehouse!"

I explained to Bud that it would only be stored for a day or two before being transferred.

The two store clerks had already unloaded the remaining four boxes of metal parts. They were about to stand aside and take a breath when they saw three orcs walking up. An orc warrior bent down and picked up a wooden box with an expressionless face. He strode towards the house, and the two shop assistants became a little dumbfounded again...

Not long afterward, Bud took the two shop assistants with shameful expressions and left in a brisk carriage.

…

Looking up at the sun climbing high above the mountains, it is another sunny morning. At this time, the first class of the Royal Academy of Magic has probably begun!

I quickly ran towards the entrance of the Royal Academy of Magic. When I ran to the door of the classroom dripping with sweat, the first class was just over. The bell rang the moment I ran to the door of the classroom. Magic Teacher Rune was holding a magic book, looking at me with a heavy face as I was sweating all over, and just said expressionlessly: "Next time, run faster, and you will still hear 'get out of class is over'!" "

After saying that, he passed me by with an indifferent expression!

Immediately afterwards, there was a tide of students pouring out of the classroom, and I was like a stubborn stone in the tide, washed away and could only stick to the wall.

It's just that at this time, when I face those classmates who would greet me warmly when I meet them, those awkward eyes always choose to avoid my gaze, and then quickly pass me by. , or looked at me with pity, then nodded lightly, and walked away quickly. It seemed that the aftermath of "William of the Dragon Society was causing trouble for me" had not yet subsided.

It wasn't until Noah and Shirley Newman walked out from behind the crowd affectionately that I walked up with a smile.

Noah came up and punched me directly on the shoulder, and then said to me angrily: "Hey, I said, Jijia! Did you get the news early? The teacher will announce as soon as possible: Prepare to go to Hierro Plane training students can prepare for the training!”

"Huh?" I still couldn't understand the meaning of Noah's words.

Shirley Newman covered her mouth and chuckled, adding, "The implication is that we don't need to have magic runes class this week!"

"Yeah!" Noah and I high-fived each other.

"Of course, I have a little suggestion. If you still want to pass the final magic rune exam, we should just go to class honestly!" Shirley Newman raised her eyebrows and said to Noah playfully.

Noah said dejectedly: "Hey, I wish my level of magic runes were as good as Jijia's!"

…

There are still five days left before leaving for the Yale plane. The entire Royal Academy of Magic is like a constantly boiling cauldron, with boiling bubbles constantly beating in the cauldron.

Those students who have obtained the qualifications have no intention of going to class anymore. The topics after class every day are all centered around the unruly topic of how to prepare luggage.

On the contrary, I finally found a chance to take a breath before preparing for the battle in Xinliu Valley.

Kalancso only stayed in the imperial capital for two days before returning to the underground cave to supervise the orc warriors to practice using crossbows.

According to the information brought back by Kalantso, the dwarf Bernd has controlled the amount of alcohol he drinks in the past few days. When he is sober, he will command the orc warriors to insert the three-meter-long metal pipes into the rock wall of the cave. , this is a very large project, and almost all caves used as storage rooms are arranged.

During the rest of the time, the dwarf Bernd will lead a few orcs who are familiar with the cave tunnels to explore the surrounding areas.

Moreover, it is said that the patrolling orc guards captured a strong young goblin the day before yesterday. When I heard that this goblin actually had a name, I found out after careful questioning that the strong goblin was Jiji, who we often deal with. Lu, it’s just that I haven’t seen its shadow for more than half a year. I didn’t expect it to come to my door now...
