My Magic Age

Walking on the streets of El City, the tauren warrior looked at the familiar shops on both sides with excitement.

Several old people sitting in front of the store basking in the sun gathered together to chat. Mrs. Michelle, with a wrinkled face, smiled and greeted the Minotaur with a kind face: "Big man, you are back!"

"Ah! Aunt Michelle, I'm back!" Luka stopped and said respectfully, with a simple and honest voice.

Many people in the neighborhood know Luka, and they have a very good impression of Luka.

Every winter when it snows, Luka is always the first to clear the snow in the yard, and then he carries a shovel to clear the snow in the alley. If the snow falls too hard, Luka will even clear the excess snow. The snow builds a snow wall next to the street trees. The alley in front of my house is the cleanest street in El City.

From the entrance of the alley, I heard the clear and melodious laughter of a group of children, like bells shaking in the wind.

Ying Li, Helena and Becky wore thick clothes, a unique cotton hat from El City on their heads, and woolen gloves on their hands. They led a group of children from the alley to build a big snowman in the yard. , every child's pockets are bulging, and they seem to have received a lot of gifts.

Fanny was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window wearing a turtleneck sweater. She was holding a cup of tea in her hand and watching Ying Li leading the children to play in the yard through the window glass.

A row of crystal-clear ice picks hangs under the eaves. These ice picks are ice formed by melting the snow on the roof rubble and flowing to the eaves. From a distance, they look like exquisite strings on a harp.

Nancy walked to the second floor terrace carrying a basin of steaming clothes that had just been washed. She stood on tiptoes, raised her hands high, and hung the sheets on the clothesline.

Doing laundry in such cold weather is definitely the most troublesome thing for housewives in the Northern Province. The fire in the fireplace is burning brightly and the hot water is constantly burning, but the hands still feel cold.

When drying clothes, the wet clothes will instantly freeze to a solid state on the clothesline, and your hands will turn red from the cold.

If you don't apply hand oil in time after washing clothes, your hands will split into deep cracks after just a few uses.

Hard-working Nancy never seems to stop at home, and she almost does all the housework.

In El City, few families wash their sheets so frequently in winter, and perhaps some newlyweds don’t wash their sheets so frequently. No wonder Fanny has been sarcastic about Lent, saying that he only becomes more glowing when he is in someone’s bed. spring.

Nancy on the terrace saw a group of us walking back from the alley and waved to me. Her chest immediately became turbulent, and the soft curves of her body were fully displayed at this moment. I made a gesture to her. , motioning her to keep quiet.

It's just that the tauren warrior was too big, so he happened to be seen by a few children making snowmen. A clear shout rang out from the crowd: 'It's Luka who's back! ’

The children swarmed outside the courtyard like a swarm, and everyone gathered around Luka.

The leading boy raised his head, sniffed, and then complained to Luka: "Luca, you don't mean what you say. You promised me that you would help me dig out the bird's nest in the spring. Now the copper The beaks have all flown away."

Luka laughed, rubbed the boy's head with his big hand like a cattail fan, and said: "Then wait until next spring. If I am here, I will definitely help you!"

The boy blinked his eyes and said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Huh! I know you still have to follow Jijia. Even without you, I can do it myself!"

Luka took out some beef jerky from the bag behind him, squatted down, held the beef jerky in his hands, and distributed it to the children on the street. He warned the boy: "Be careful when digging out bird's nests. I don't want to." See how you broke your leg."

Unexpectedly, Luka would also bring some gifts to the neighborhood leaders. Although they were not just valuable things, but they were full of sincerity. The children were not polite and snatched up all the meat from Luka's hand like a flying bird. Qian, like a swarm of passing locusts, suddenly flew away again.

Ying Li stood next to the pillar at the entrance of the courtyard and looked at me with a smile. I stretched out my hands as if to hug him.

She blushed slightly, bit her lip and hesitated, but still came over, first gave me a hug, and then hugged Catalina.

Helena was not as reserved as Ying Li. She was like a light deer, jumping briskly in front of me and throwing herself into my arms. She was like an octopus, wrapping her hands and feet around me, like petals. The delicate lips suddenly touched my mouth.

The booing of several naughty children came from a distance...

…

Dusk falls in Ayr City, and curls of smoke rise from the chimneys of every house.

It was almost dinner time, and the smell of beef stew with potatoes wafted from the kitchen. Nancy's figure busy in the kitchen was reflected on the glass of the glass living room.

Fanny and Ying Li chatted about some topics about life in the imperial capital. However, Ying Li was not only the royal princess of Angel Bould, but also a magician. She spent a large part of her life in the imperial capital chasing the magician. schedule, so when we chatted, we discovered that Yingli’s life was not much different from mine.

The small wooden house in the backyard of the Minotaur Luka has been cleaned out. This summer, Fanny asked Liant to renovate the Minotaur's wooden house from the inside to the outside. The roof was re-strengthened and the outside was repainted white. Painted, the bed is covered with thick straw mats, and the special large-sized quilt is full of sunshine, dry, warm, and light.

The Minotaur's dinner is soybean stewed with dried cabbage, and the staple food is golden apple cider-flavored bread. Nancy's cooking skills are really impressive. As soon as the bread is taken out of the oven, the rich aroma of wine has spread into the living room.

Liant taught Helena the techniques of Western rapiers in the practice room. Helena successfully graduated from the Imperial Capital Junior Swordsman Academy this year, but her major in dual-wielding weapons techniques, the 'long sword type' chosen for weapon mastery, was not suitable for I'm not that good at one-handed swordsmanship, and I think Helena is not yet proficient in using a Western rapier.

However, she has a sweet mouth and is very lovable. Teaching her sword skills is a joyful thing, and Liant's hearty laughter can be heard from time to time in the practice room.

Recently, I can always see Catalina and Becky chatting together. It seems that the two of them have a good rapport. I once asked Catalina what they talked about when they were together. Catalina laughed. He told me it was martial arts.

…

A crescent moon hung high in the night sky, and there were very few pedestrians on the street. Even if there were any, they were people rushing home.

The cold wind blew on the streets on a snowy night, and the dilapidated street lamps cast dim light.

Fanny said that Tracy invited Ellent home for dinner, so the dinner had to be delayed for a while. Nancy brought a basin of baked cookies, probably because she was worried that we were hungry.

It's already this time, and Cindy hasn't come back yet. Since she worked as Noah's guide, she has been very conscientious and responsible. She leaves early and comes back late every day, and she seems busier than Tracy.

Tracy and Ellente's engagement ceremony had already been held in the autumn, and now they were only missing a lively wedding. In fact, their wedding was postponed until now because they were waiting for me to come back.

Fanny was very worried that if it was delayed any longer, Ellente and Tracy's wedding would probably become a wedding for three people.

In recent days, Alant often comes here to have dinner. After the meal, everyone will discuss some matters about the wedding. The Alant family is considered a small aristocrat in Ayr City, and Alant is Alant in Stans. The swordsmanship instructor in the academy, Tracy, as the daughter of Alant, was a good match for her when marrying Alant.

It's rare for someone to study Western rapier swordsmanship so seriously. Under Helena's humbly asking for advice, Ryant's lecture was very enjoyable. In the end, he insisted on going to the yard to practice the techniques described tonight.

Even Fanny's attempts to dissuade him failed to stop him. Sometimes Liante was so stubborn that even nine oxen could not pull him back.

However, Liant did not play in person. He asked me to be Helena's sparring partner. Helena and I stood in the yard with two branches and traded sword moves. Others stood under the eaves to watch the battle.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the light in the house printed a square pattern of light on the snow through the glass window, and the sound of horse hooves in the distant alley could be clearly heard.

Arent and Ivli wore the standard leather armor of the guard regiment, with sentinel swords hanging on their waists, and walked side by side in the alley on blue-furred horses.

The horses' hooves stepped on the stone road, making a crisp sound of 'tap, tap, tap', and the two horses stopped at the entrance of the yard.

Tracy sat in front of the saddle and was held in Allent's arms. She raised her hands and hugged Allent's neck, raising her head and talking quietly to Allent. The three of them were completely unaware that we all stood in the yard and watched their every move quietly, including Tracy leaning on Arent's arms, and Arent's hand gently holding Tracy's waist.

Ivli next to him was like a light bulb that was brighter than a street lamp, but he could still ride a horse very calmly and chat with Ellente every sentence.

I haven't seen Arent and Ivli for a long time since they went to serve in the army. Now looking at them from a distance, they have become two outstanding young officers. They seem to be well-trained in the North Wind Army. It goes without saying that there is an awe-inspiring aura about him. This is a temperament that cannot be seen in the members of the El City Guard Team. It can only be honed on a real battlefield.

When Helena saw this scene, she quickly threw away the twigs in her hands and insisted on pulling me to the wall to take a closer look.

It was dark, and we stood quietly in the yard. Tracy didn't even notice that there were so many people in the yard. The horse stopped at the door. She and Ellente lingered and kissed each other for a while, especially Recy jumped off the horse and pulled Alan towards the door, only to find that there were many people standing in the yard.

……asphyxia!

At this time, I suddenly found that my family had been watching me silently, and the awkward atmosphere made me feel a little suffocated.

Ying Li was beside me and secretly pushed me, gesturing for me to quickly resolve this embarrassing situation.

I took Ying Li's hand and walked out of the door first. With a smile on my face, I gave Arent a warm hug. Looking at Arent's thick arms, I found that he was two heads taller than three years ago, and his body had also become very... Zhuangzhuang, I greeted him: "Arent, Ivli, long time no see!"

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for almost three years!" Arent put his hands on my shoulders and said to me kindly: "I heard from Tracy that you study magic at the Imperial Academy of Magic?"

"Well..." As I said that, I began to introduce everyone to each other.

Watching Leante and Fanny return to the house from the yard, Leante and Tracy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jijia, you didn't go out to the city to hunt savages, why did you come back so soon?" Tracy stood beside me and complained to me: "Why don't you remind me? It's over, I'm afraid I will be beaten by Fanny tonight. What a shame."

"...When I saw you, you were already standing at the gate of the courtyard, but you didn't notice us in the courtyard..." I said to Tracy: "What are you afraid of? Aren't you all engaged?"

"Fanny hates me most for turning a deaf ear to her words." Tracy said weakly.

Ellente put his arm around Tracy's shoulders and said to her: "Then you come to my place tonight."

Unexpectedly, Tracy not only did not refuse, but actually said, "It seems like this is the only way to go."

It seemed like she didn't know how to blush or be shy.

Before entering, Tracy secretly told me: "Jijia, after dinner, you have to help me hold Fanny off for a while."

It seemed like the two of them didn't need anything more than a decent wedding.

I asked hesitantly: "Oh, but...does Fanny really not mind?"

Tracy said to me with some disdain: "You are so old, why are you still so timid?"

Then Tracy asked Ivli to come in with him.

At the beginning, Ivli was still hesitating. Tracy said to Ivli: "If you continue to be coy, Cindy will follow the boy from Palestina Province to the imperial capital. Green There is no 'Reverse Time' magic scroll in the empire's magic shop."

Then he puffed up his chest and strode into my yard.

Ying Li and I looked at each other, but we didn't expect that Cindy and Noah were involved...

…

Open the door and invite everyone into the house.

Nancy brought a pot of hot tea and placed it on the coffee table.

Liant just pretended that nothing had happened, sitting next to the wine cabinet and reading the magic newspaper silently, while Fanny began to pay attention to the preparations for dinner.

Just as I was about to sit down in front of the sofa, I used the street light in front of the gate to see a black magic caravan parked at the door. The coachman opened the door of the carriage. Noah jumped out of the carriage first, and then he took Xin Di helped Cindy out of the carriage, and then Shirley Newman poked her head out of the carriage to say goodbye to Cindy, but she did not get off the carriage.

Then Noah was at the door of my house, holding Cindy's head in his hands, and kissed her smooth forehead...

"..." Seeing this scene left me speechless.

I had a look of helplessness on my face. I never expected that this kid from the Mensah family would come to El City and dare to show mercy everywhere.

"Ivli, it looks like you have to work harder, don't let this boy from Palestina take Cindy away!" Tracy was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and happened to look out the window. scene, encouraging Ivli.

Ivli seemed a little embarrassed. When Tracy said this, Nancy, who was holding a tray of tea cups, paused and looked at the burly young man secretly.

I smiled and said to Ellente: "... Speaking of which, Ellente, haven't you ever thought of tricking Cindy into going home and completely liberating Tracy from the kitchen? I'm afraid you Didn’t know Tracy’s cooking skills were in shambles and she could barely cook anything but hard-boiled eggs.”

Unexpectedly, Fanny happened to come out of the kitchen and heard what I said word for word. She reached out and patted my head and scolded me softly: "You stupid boy, what are you talking about! "

Tracy also pounced on me with all her teeth and claws, strangled my neck with one hand, pushed me down on the sofa, and said reluctantly: "Jijia, do you want me to expose you for spying on Annie and Su taking a bath when you were a child?" Tell Ying Li what happened?"

Tracy's physical skills have been put in a lot of hard work under the guidance of Liant. Even if she was playing around, it was difficult for me to break free from the restraints of her hands and feet.

For a moment, the atmosphere in this slightly small living room suddenly became relaxed, and Tracy's triumphant laughter filled the room.

At this time, the door outside was gently pushed open. Cindy was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and walked in from outside the house...
