My Magic Age

I sat down on a chair under a parasol, and a man in an ice silk robe came over and asked me.

His clothes were embroidered with exquisite dark patterns, and his skinny chest was exposed from his open collar. His body, hollowed out by alcohol and sex, looked very weak, which made me want to give him a "water therapy".

A blonde beauty was lying on the bench next to the man, wearing a cool tube top and a short skirt. The scorching sun sprinkled on her skin that was like beeswax, and every pore was covered with a layer of fine oil.

I nodded slightly to him and said, "It's me."

I looked around the roof and found that the nobles who stayed on the roof looked very relaxed. They did not feel any panic because they were caught in the plane war, nor did they become worried because Marquis Boris betrayed the Mensa family. Everything seemed very harmonious.

Seeing that the thin noble man did not leave, he greeted the waiter standing beside him enthusiastically, and then said very casually: "Bring them two glasses of iced watermelon juice, I'll treat them!"

"Duke Wheeler!" The noble man shook hands with me and said his name.

His hands were well maintained, the nails on each finger were carefully trimmed, and the palms were dry and slightly cool, like the hands of a pianist.

"Ji Jia!" I said to him.

At this time, the waiter brought two glasses of iced watermelon juice and placed them in front of me and Catalina.

I said to the man named Duke: "Thank you for the watermelon juice."

Duke smiled casually and asked me in a natural and familiar way: "Where are you from? Where is your ship? Did you meet the hunters in the Faceless Legion on the sea?"

"Have you heard of Conason Island? It's in the eastern sea." I asked him.

Duke raised his eyebrows and said to me, "Of course I have heard of him. I have also met Earl Evan, who is a very upright gentleman."

We had some common topics, that is, some interesting stories about Earl Evan and Conason Island.

I didn't know much about Conason Island, but I had been with Earl Evan for nearly half a month, so Duke and I talked very well.

Maybe because the boring life at sea was about to drive him crazy, Duke found someone to chat with, and kept pulling me to sit on the roof to chat, and even invited us to have dinner together, but I politely declined.

We talked for a long time, and then the female companion next to him joined us. Duke was very talkative, he was well-informed, and knew a little about Conason Island, so he believed that I was a distressed nobleman exiled from Conason Island. He didn't ask me where I wanted to go next, but tactfully said that he could help me with some travel expenses. I opened my collar and showed him the bulging purse tied around my waist, and he didn't mention it anymore. ...

Later, we talked about the plane war of Vashj. The people living here did not seem to feel any panic because of the invasion of the Faceless Legion. Duke told me the reason, which sounded a little ridiculous: the reason was that the Naga sea tribe aborigines who ruled the Vashj Sea launched a national war to block the Faceless Legion at the entrance of the Great Abyss, and a large fleet stationed by the Mensa family at the Great Abyss also participated in the battle against the invasion of the dark forces. It is said that the war situation has been in a stalemate.

So the people on the Vashj plane naively believed that the sea area they lived in was still very safe.

However, recently, there have been news of Faceless hunting teams appearing in various seas, and occasionally there have been reports of hijacking some ships at sea.

Because this kind of ship hijacking incident does not happen frequently, usually, even if there are no Faceless hunting teams in the sea hijacking merchant ships, there will be rampant pirate gangs, so until now, these Faceless hunting teams have not attracted the attention of the high-level lords of the Vashj plane.

At this point, Duke's thin face showed a mocking smile, and he said to me: The reason why the great lords of the Vashj plane did not take some countermeasures against the Faceless Hunting Team is actually because Marquis Boris is currently leading his fleet to suppress the lords who oppose him on the Vashj plane, so he has no energy to deal with the Faceless Hunting Team for the time being.

I guess the Wheeler family behind Duke Wheeler must have some influence on the Vashj plane, which makes him so familiar with the current situation of the Vashj plane.

So I asked Duke: "Sir Duke, can I ask you a question?"

"Since you put it so formally, this question must be difficult to answer!" Duke crossed his hands in front of his chest, supported his elbows on the table, and had a faint smile on his face.

I thought he was unwilling to talk about some sensitive political issues, so I lowered my head and drank a sip of ice watermelon juice, and thought about how to start the next topic.

Unexpectedly, I heard Duke say to me at this time: "But I like to do something exciting. You might as well ask. If I really can't answer, I can't tell you anyway."

I went straight to the point and asked him: "I want to know... Of course, it's just your personal opinion. Between Marquis Boris and Marquis Louis, which one do you prefer to support?"

Duke Wheeler looked like he knew you would ask me this. He turned around and patted his female companion's plump buttocks, and said to her kindly: "Baby, help me get a glass of golden apple wine and a plate of lemon juice oysters."

The blond beauty leaning next to Duke Wheeler smiled sweetly, stood up charmingly, turned and walked away.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to help asking me this question. From the moment you said, 'You're from Connerson Island,' I knew you wouldn't be able to help asking me this question!" He spread his hands and made a With a very helpless expression, he asked me curiously: "Are all the nobles on Connerson Island... Luis Mensah has been brainwashed, how come they are all his die-hard fans! Oh my god, this is Vashchi, not Ilinus of Emerald Bay, nor the Imperial City, how can his personal charm be so great? Do you want to support him even if you are willing to give up immediate interests? "

"I'm Luis' friend!" I made no secret of my relationship with Luis Mensah.

Duke Wheeler shook his head speechlessly, and then said with some emotion: "I don't know whether it's your luck or his luck that you can become friends with that guy Lewis. Even now, you are still caring about him in Wa Regarding Siqi’s right to rule, are all the people on Conathon Island as stubborn as you?”

Duke's words reminded me of Count Evan who dared to move the entire island population to the south of the Great Abyss. As a supporter of Louis, he chose to fight.

I said to him: "Of course not, there are other people who are much more radical than I am, and those people choose to fight to solve the problem."

At this time, the sailors standing on the mainmast lookout began to ring the bell frantically, and the sailors on the deck began to cheer.

Duke raised his head and looked into the distance. He couldn't see Dunay Island on the sea for a long time. He could only retract his gaze angrily and said to me: "The interests of the family are closely related to my personal interests. I believe that Vashqi is The opinions of many lords are decisions that are in line with current interests.”

"We don't care about who manages Vashj. The lords of the Vashj plane only need a stable, peaceful and prosperous Vashj. Whoever can give us greater rights and more benefits, we will Who will you support?”

"For a long time, Vashj's plane has been continuously transporting resources to the Green Empire, and has been using resources from the Vashqi plane to transfuse blood into the empire to maintain the prosperity of the Green Empire. But what did Vashj get? ?”

"Although we are members of the Green Empire, we are also Vashj people. We have lived in this plane for several generations and have an inseparable affection for it. We are constantly expanding our territory and occupying more islands. , plundering more resources from this plane to feed back the Green Empire. If those resources were used to build the Vashj plane, maybe it would have become the 'City of Thousand Islands' decades ago."

"Now it seems that Marquis Boris has brought us more benefits. Less than half of the lords of Vashj support him, and the rest are neutrals who will neither move closer to Louis nor swear allegiance to Boris. Our only loyalty is to Vashj."

Perhaps this is the truest thought in the hearts of most of the lords of the Vashj plane. They need more autonomy and more benefits. When these contradictions are highlighted, the Mensa family suddenly stands on the side of these Vashqi planes. The opposite of the Qi lords, no wonder Marquis Boris would declare Vashj's official independence at this time.

But then, I thought of another question, which is the crisis that Vashj is currently facing on the plane. Faced with the invasion of dark forces, can Vashj persevere in the plane war.

So I asked Duke: "But what about those faceless men? Without the support of Palestina Province, what do you think of doing?"

Unexpectedly, Duke seemed to have heard a fantasy, laughed, and then said: "The support of Palestina Province? Don't be ridiculous, it has always been Vashj's fleet guarding the Great Abyss. At the exit of the Abyss, if we stop sending resources to the Green Empire and use these resources to build an army to resist the Faceless Men, we will definitely be able to drive those dark forces back into the Abyss."

I continued to ask Duke: "So, you gave Boris the resources to agree to allocate them?"

Duke squinted his eyes and said: "How is that possible! Compared to Boris, I would rather believe in the great lord of Yam Island in the western sea of ​​the Great Abyss, Marquis Christopher."

"It turns out it's him!" I suddenly realized. No wonder Yam Island looks so prosperous. It turns out that it is also another important military town in the Vashj plane.

I said to Duke: "A few days ago, I met Marquis Christopher, and I heard him say at that time: No matter how much fighting happens within the Mensa family, he will not interfere, but there is a prerequisite, that is, he must Guarantee the supply of Yam Island. It seems that Count Boris needs to pay for the recent supplies of Yam Island!"

Duke Wheeler smiled and said, "If he wants to rule the entire Vashj, he can't take all the benefits!"

At this time, I heard heavy footsteps behind me, and a familiar voice sounded behind me: "I heard from the attendant, have you looked for me?"

I turned around and glanced back, only to see the middle-aged captain leaning on the railing, holding a sexy woman in scantily clad clothes in his arms, squinting at me with a half-smile.

"Ah, Captain, I just came to you just because I wanted to express my gratitude to you in person!" I stood up and said very politely to the middle-aged captain, but my eyes couldn't help but fall on the sexy man next to him. .Feel the woman’s slender thighs.

I saw that she was wearing a tight-fitting shark pattern long skirt. This exquisite long skirt well outlined the uneven curves of her body. At this moment, she was also looking at me with curious eyes.

"In addition, I hope to replenish the boats for our group. I hope that Captain, you can take us to Dunai Island along the way!" I reached into the purse and grabbed a handful of it.

"It's just a small favor. You and Baron Duke are friends. How can I charge you for your travel expenses..." the captain said politely.

At first, he still insisted on not accepting it, but when I opened my palm and revealed a few magic crystals emitting a magical halo, the captain's eyes suddenly became straight. He never thought that I would casually take out a handful of magic crystals and give them to her. He was stunned for a while. After all, magic crystals are priceless. A piece is worth ten gold coins.

The sexy woman who was nestled in the captain's arms also covered her mouth and looked at the magic crystals in my palm in surprise. She didn't know what to say.

"Oh... Ji Jia, you are really hidden! The purse with you is actually filled with magic crystals." Duke on the side also said in surprise.

I stuffed the magic crystal into the captain's hand and said to him, "I was very tired after drifting on the sea before. I want to go back to the room to rest. I'll leave you first."

As I said that, I bowed to Duke and said to him, "Thank you for your ice watermelon juice, it's delicious!"

I took Katarina to the rooftop stairs and stopped after a few steps. I suddenly thought of something, so I stopped again and turned to walk in front of the captain. He looked at me a little nervously.

"That... remember to ask someone to remind me when the ship is approaching the dock!" I said to the captain.

The captain agreed without hesitation and then watched me leave.

The 'Nautilus' is a merchant ship bound for Dunai Island. It carries various daily necessities. In the past, merchants would use these supplies to exchange for some specialties on Dunai Island and magical materials from sea beasts. However, when the portal leading to the city of Ilinus was destroyed, the impact on many chambers of commerce in the Vashj plane was destructive.

Many specialties on the plane of Vashj are starting to become unsalable, and many islands are becoming extremely short of some daily necessities that cannot be produced by themselves.

The Nautilus is loaded with a shipload of daily necessities and is heading to Dunai Island. In addition to exchanging gold coins, silver coins, and magic crystals, only some high-level magic materials will be recognized by merchants. As for the local specialties on those islands, they are better left in the soil to rot slowly!
