My Magic Age

The merchant ship ‘Nautilus’ finally arrived at Dunai Island before dark.

When we got off the ship, it was drizzling on Dunai Island. Only a rough outline of the whole island could be seen in the hazy drizzle.

There is a not very high mountain on this island. Under the cover of night, even the shallow outline of the mountain gradually disappeared in the drizzle.

The rain wet the sails on the ship. The sailors lowered the sails with difficulty and tied them to the cross brace of the mast with ropes. Several sailors pushed the capstan at the stern to put the heavy anchor into the sea. The cargo on the deck was covered with a layer of waterproof cloth. The accompanying merchants stood on the deck and began to discuss the price of the cargo in private.

The captain of the ‘Nautilus’ also stood among them. It seemed that he was not only a navigator, but also a businessman.

The merchants had to stay on the ship for one night. The cargo on the ship could not be unloaded to the dock until tomorrow morning.

However, the passengers on the ship couldn't wait to get off the ship tomorrow morning. They had been bored on the ship for too long and couldn't wait to go to Dunai Island for a walk.

The passengers walked off the ship in twos and threes in the drizzle. The followers behind them were carrying huge suitcases. In the night rain, they looked like a special landscape.

Those people got off the ship one after another and walked along the wooden plank road paved on the dock towards the exit not far away.

The wooden plank road was wet and slippery. A sailor stood behind me and held up a black sea animal skin umbrella for me. We walked off the ship slowly. There were several lamp posts on the dock, and several wind lamps showed a faint halo in the rain and fog.

The rain made Dunai Island very cool. A group of workers standing on the dock came to the "Nautilus". They were probably some backpackers on the dock. It was just so late and it was drizzling. Everyone was wet and was waiting on the dock for work.

An exquisite magic carriage was waiting at the dock. The sailor holding an umbrella behind me said as he walked: This is the magic carriage that the captain of the Nautilus found for me. This magic carriage will take us to the best hotel on Dunai Island.

I held Ying Li's hand and boarded the magic carriage, and casually gave the sailor a silver coin as a tip.

The sailors behind me came down from the ship with several large boxes of luggage, put the luggage on the shelf at the rear of the carriage, and diligently closed the door for me.

All this was because of the effect of those magic crystals. The captain of the Nautilus sent someone to arrange a carriage for me, and ordered the sailors to hold umbrellas for us and send us to the carriage. In addition, he also gave me a few boxes with luggage, saying that this is the appearance of a traveler, and no traveler does not have luggage with him.

Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to open it to see what is in the box.

Baron Duke Wheeler also boarded a magic carriage behind me. Before he boarded the magic carriage, he stood by the door and waved to me. I thought he might be saying goodbye to me, so I leaned out of the window and waved to him as well.

The carriage slowly passed through the rain curtain, the black steel wheel rolled through the accumulated water, and drove out of the dock quickly.

Unfortunately, whether it was the captain of the ‘Nautilus’ who had sailed on the sea for many years, or Baron Duke who was born and raised in the plane of Vashj, they knew nothing about the news of the sea monster, which made me feel a layer of haze in my heart, and I began to worry about the trip to Dunai Island.

The carriage drove to the exit of the dock, where many people had gathered, waiting for the guards on the dock to check their identities. I was still reciting the words I had prepared long ago in my mind, thinking about how to tell him when the guards questioned me.

Unexpectedly, the magic caravan did not slow down at all, and directly ran over the accumulated water on the ground and drove away from the dock. The dock guards seemed to have been accustomed to it and checked other passengers waiting in the rain without paying attention.

Looking at the island city hidden in the night rain not far away, I silently said in my heart: Dunai Island, here I come.

…

Dunai Island is more like an island city built on the mountain. After the magic caravan drove out of the dock, it has been driving on the rugged mountain road. These roads are relatively flat and have not become muddy due to rain. The only disadvantage is that there are too many slopes.

The magic caravan walked for a long time, first passing a suspension bridge, passing through a doorway, entering a city, and passing through the streets and alleys along the stone road in the city. Finally, we arrived at the gate of a manor. We have arrived at our destination, which is a manor-style hotel.

The entire hotel is located in this ancient and quiet manor. The waiter waiting at the door opened the door for us swiftly. I walked down from the magic caravan and asked me attentively if I needed to unload the gifts in the car.

I said to the waiter: Help me move them to my room.

The waiter stood aside and said respectfully: I am very happy to serve you, sir.

Stepping into this Baroque-style building, there are exquisite stone carvings on the round stone pillars on both sides, exquisite murals painted on the dome, and light gauze curtains between the stone pillars. The waiter led us into the front hall.

Unexpectedly, Baron Duke Wheeler arrived at the hotel first. At this time, his entourage was checking in, and he and his female companion were sitting in the lounge area in the hall, waving to me happily.

I pulled Ying Li towards him, and his eyes fell on Ying Li, and then on Helena and Becky, and then flashed with strange colors.

It seems that he was also moved by Helena's beautiful appearance at the first time, and then he saw Becky wearing sexy and avant-garde clothes, and he couldn't help but admire her.

I pulled Yingli to sit on the sofa opposite him, and Helena and Becky followed the waiter to the front desk to check in for us.

Catalina stood quietly behind the sofa, looking around the hotel casually.

"It's nice to see you again, Baron Duke. Didn't you say that you would transfer to other sailboats at the port of Dunai Island to continue your journey?" I asked Duke: "Why, have you changed your mind?"

He shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "The 'Bell' has not arrived at Dunai Island yet. I have to wait for a while on Dunai Island and pray silently that it can arrive safely, otherwise I may have to find a new ship, which is really troublesome."

Duke asked me: "Ji Jia, is this your first time to Dunai Island?"

I nodded and said yes.

Duke had a playful smile on his lips, and he gently wiped his upper lip beard with his thumb, then said to me: "It seems that you need a guide who is familiar with this place. Do you want me to take you around the island tomorrow?"

The female companion sitting next to Duke glanced at him with a charming look.

Duke slapped his thigh hard, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to me: "Oh, I almost forgot that the guides on Dunai Island are also a major feature here. I suggest you try it. It will definitely make you feel that your trip is worthwhile."

"Guide?"

Hearing Duke say this, I was a little tempted. Since I want to inquire about the news about the sea monster on this island, I really need a local who is very familiar with this island.

"They are very familiar with this island city. Whether you want to trade or travel on the island, since it's your first time to Dunai Island, you might as well find a guide." He pointed to the front desk, with a slightly obscene smile on his face, and said to me: "If you want, you can register at the front desk."

The mention of the guide reminded me of the girl named Joan.

Because of Jacques, she is now drifting on the sea with us, and she can't go home. I don't know what she feels at this moment. Maybe she is lying in Jacques' arms at this time... or she has already told Jacques: I am not interested in a half-grown kid like you! No matter which one you choose, it's better than wasting time like this now.

"Guide! Then we do need one." Ying Li said to the hotel waiter standing beside him with a sly smile on his face, with two dimples on his face.

Not long after, Helena and Becky completed the check-in procedures. I rejected Duke's proposal to continue drinking in the tavern. Under the guidance of the waiter, we found our respective rooms.

The rooms in this hotel are indeed very gorgeously decorated. At the door of the room, Ying Li stood in front of the door and told me that she was sleepy.

So I could only hold her face, kiss her fair forehead, and say "good night" to her.

...

Although the rain outside was not heavy, the fishy and salty sea breeze poured the saline-alkali rain on us, and we still felt sticky.

The first thing Catalina did when she rushed into the room was to occupy the bathroom in the room.

She was very taboo about the skin diseases of the sailors on the "Slave Trader". She believed that as long as the sea water was on her body, if it could not be washed off in time, seaweed might grow on her body. For Catalina, who always liked to dress herself beautifully, it was simply a nightmare that often lingered in her heart.

Listening to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom...

In a trance, it reminded me of the first time I met Sister Singh.

At that time, Singer was ordered to ask me to cook a sumptuous dinner for Qige. Seeing that I was dirty and looked like a wild child, she decided to take me to the magic caravan to take a bath. I bumped into Katarina in the magic caravan. At that time, she was wearing hot pants and a tank top, and her face was full of youth and joy.

Katarina has now transformed from a sexy dancer to a warrior on the battlefield.

At least she is no longer willing to wear those backless deep V long skirts, so that others will not see the shallow scars on her back.

The drizzle outside the window hit the glass window, making a subtle sound.

I want Katarina to stay in the hotel room, open the portal by myself, and go to Xinliu Valley to see how the light rail is laid in the underground cave.

Although the dwarf Bernd has always been in charge of the overall situation there, I have nothing to worry about, but after all, there has been no chance to go to the underground cave for a while.

Just when I took out the Hammer of Time and Space Breaker and was about to open the portal in the bedroom, there was a knock on the door.

I was confused. Who would come to see me at this late hour?

Katarina had just finished her shower. She ran to open the door in her nightgown with her long red hair loose.

I heard a strange girl's voice coming from the door: "Does the owner of this room need a guide?"

The voice sounded a little timid. I leaned out of the sofa and looked at the door.

Caterina made way for the body blocking the door. A thin girl in a white gauze dress stood at the door. Her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead. The white gauze dress was also soaked by the rain and stuck to her body, highlighting the clear outline of her body. The girl's appearance was very pretty and pleasing to the eye. The more you looked at her, the more you could see that her facial features were very delicate.

"I...I...I heard that someone here needs a guide...Sorry to bother you!" She looked at Catalina timidly, bit her lip and said to me, "I didn't know that you had already chosen one."

"Guide?...Oh, I do need a guide." I stood up, walked to the door, and said to the girl, "Are you the guide that this hotel found for me?"

When the girl heard me say this, her eyes lit up, a trace of joy flashed across her face, and she nodded to me repeatedly.

"But I don't plan to go out at night, and it's raining outside now. Maybe the waiter at the hotel didn't tell you clearly about this, so you came so late and it was a waste of time." After I said this to her, I realized that it was not a good way to treat guests to always stand at the door and talk, so I asked her to come in and sit down.

The girl hesitated for a moment, hugged her shoulders with both hands, protected her chest, and walked in carefully.

I saw her hugging her shoulders, thinking that she might be a little cold because of the rain, so I poured her a cup of hot tea.

I took the teacup and put it on the coffee table in front of her.

She looked at me and blushed slightly.

I asked her: "Are you familiar with Dunai Island?"

Hearing me ask this, she immediately replied: "I am familiar with every long street here, I know the owner of every shop here, and I know every interesting place on this island."

I sat on the sofa opposite her and asked her: "Do you know where I can get accurate information on this island?"

She seemed a little restrained, her legs were very close together, and she stammered: "Uh... tavern."

I doubted whether she was a qualified guide.

Seeing that I had no expression on my face, she obviously knew that I was somewhat dissatisfied with her, so she immediately added: "Others are asking for information in the tavern opened by Uncle Joseph Kane."

"Okay, you are hired by me. Come here tomorrow morning and take me to that tavern first... Maybe we should go to some other places. Oh, do you know some elderly people on this island?" I said as I thought.

She nodded happily, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Her face became a little red, and her teeth bit her diamond-shaped lips a little white. She seemed very nervous, covering her chest with both hands, and stood up carefully, saying to me: "Then I will go take a shower first..."

I sat on the sofa, my mouth opened in an 'O' shape, and I didn't know what to say for a long time...
