My Magic Age
Chapter 1181 285. Tracy's Dowry
In the province of Sloyt, although the gap between the male and female populations is narrowing year by year, the imbalanced population ratio is still an indisputable fact.
There are two main reasons for the reduction of males in the Northern Province. One is that the barbarians cross the Benma River to the Northern Province every winter to hunt slaves, and they only capture the imperial men. The second is that because of the Green Empire's conscription system, every imperial male must serve in the military. Every year, the Green Empire faces some wars, which will also lead to a large number of casualties.
Therefore, the gender ratio of Sloyt Province is very different. Girls in the Northern Province who have participated in the coming-of-age ceremony will face an embarrassing situation of difficulty in getting married.
Every soldier who officially retired from the battlefield is very popular in the city of El. They usually give priority to marrying some young girls with beautiful looks, gentle personalities, and generous dowries.
Tracy not only has no advantage in appearance, but is also a girl with a hot temper.
That's why Ryan and Fanny adopted me. They planned to marry Tracy to me after I finished my military service. This would not only save a lot of dowry, but also give me a deeper understanding of me, at least to ensure that I would not bully Tracy in my daily life.
Unfortunately, these plans of Ryan and Fanny were shackles that bound Tracy's freedom, so Tracy was very resistant to these arrangements of Fanny and Ryan. Tracy clearly told Fanny and Ryan that she would not marry me.
It was not until Ryan and Tracy confirmed their relationship that Fanny was relieved and stopped matchmaking me and Tracy.
However, another problem that followed immediately came to the fore, that is, to prepare some dowry for Tracy.
Arendt's father was a second-class viscount with some reputation in El City. His family had a pretty good manor in the wealthy area of El City, and Arendt was also very outstanding in all aspects among the younger generation of his family, especially his experience in the North Wind Army, which made him draw a strong stroke in his life resume.
When Arendt returned from the North Wind Army, it was said that many nobles in El City wanted to marry their daughters to him, but Arendt was the kind of person who took feelings seriously. Even with countless other choices, he still chose Tracy, at least this wedding was a wedding for him and Tracy.
In the eyes of outsiders, Arendt's family conditions were obviously better than Tracy's family. Although Tracy also had a brother who was a magician, this did not make others look up to Tracy.
After the two cheap cousins knew the identities of Helena and Becky, they finally realized that the well-behaved girl standing next to them was Cindy, the daughter of Uncle Ryan, so the two began to entangle Cindy without changing their faces. Cindy was reluctantly dealing with the two cousins from Aunt Basha's family.
I followed Helena and Becky into the house behind everyone. At this time, Fanny was introducing Yingli to Aunt Basha. Yingli was wearing a pure white robe. This magic robe looked like a plain dress, so Aunt Basha and her family naturally regarded Yingli as the bridesmaid at Tracy's wedding.
When Aunt Basha heard that Yingli had already held a wedding with me, she interrupted Fanny's words without caring whether Fanny had finished speaking or not, and criticized Fanny bitterly, blaming Fanny for letting me get married so easily.
Aunt Basha meant that no matter what, I am also a magician noble. Although I will have to serve in the military in the future, I have never heard of any young magician dying in the Northern Province during military service. For a young magician like me who is in great demand, I should be more cautious in holding a wedding. At the very least, I should receive a generous dowry and marry Tracy off decently, so that Tracy will not be too shabby at the wedding and Arendt's family will look down on Tracy.
But Aunt Basha didn't realize at this time that when she said these words, Ryant and Fanny showed an embarrassed but polite smile. If she defended herself at this time, Aunt Basha's family would probably lose face.
But as the most beloved daughter of Prince James, a princess of the Anqibould royal family, a second-class viscountess, these words are largely slandering a member of the royal family. If this matter is exposed, Aunt Basha's family will definitely become restless because they have offended an imperial princess with words, and they will never be able to smile at Tracy's wedding.
Ryant thought about it for a while, and suddenly took a step forward, wanting to tell Aunt Basha about Ying Li's identity.
Ying Li took a step forward and stopped Ryant. She held Ryant's arm with both hands, with a faint smile on her face, and blinked at him. The expression in her eyes clearly told Ryant not to expose this matter, so as not to disrupt Tracy's wedding.
Ying Li had learned the most orthodox court etiquette since she was a child. She lifted her skirt with both hands to salute Aunt Basha, so that Aunt Basha could see that she was a noble lady. Then she turned her head to look at me, and then said to Aunt Basha in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Aunt, don't worry, we have already prepared a dowry for Tracy!"
At this time, Tracy just walked down from upstairs in a set of two-headed fire snake magic pattern leather armor. The tailored leather armor fits her body very well. Her body is covered with complicated magic runes. The clear lava texture on the leather of the chest armor is like there is really volcanic lava flowing inside. A faint magic glow envelopes Tracy.
At this moment, Tracy cannot exert any magical properties of this set of "Demon Snake Fang" magic pattern suit, but it is no problem to wear this magic pattern suit.
"Aunt, what are you talking about?" Tracy ran down from upstairs with excitement and hugged Aunt Basha.
Perhaps it was because she saw the bride Tracy's jubilant look that Aunt Basha finally stopped scolding Ryan and Fanny, hugged her niece and boasted affectionately, "Look, our Tracy is still the best, beautiful, obedient, and sensible!"
"Haha, aunt, do you also think I look beautiful in this leather armor?" Tracy reached out and knocked on the chest armor wound, and the magic glow rippled slightly, spreading out circles of halos, which looked very magical.
Aunt Basha didn't see what was special about her niece's armor, but she boasted about her niece without hesitation, saying, "Of course, our Tracy looks beautiful no matter what she wears!"
Aunt Basha didn't know the goods, but it didn't mean that Uncle Horace, the knight commander of the Knights of the Ravenham Guard Battalion, didn't know the goods. Uncle Horace was an old knight who had seen some of the world, so he recognized at a glance that this was a genuine magic pattern structure. Originally, he sat on the sofa in the living room as calmly as a mountain.
At this time, he stood up and stared at the magic pattern structure on Tracy's body, and asked Tracy uncertainly: "This leather armor... It's all magic patterns. Is this a magic pattern structure?"
Tracy saw that someone finally recognized that she was wearing a set of exquisite magic pattern structures. It was worth her effort to wear this light leather armor at the wedding. She nodded to Uncle Horace very proudly, and her face was naturally very proud.
However, Uncle Horace said something immediately, which immediately made Tracy frown.
Uncle Horace said to Tracy, "How did you get a complete set of magic rune structures? Speaking of which, if Ryant wanted to save such a large sum of money with his salary at Staines College, he might not be able to do so in his lifetime."
Tracy was the kind of person whose emotions would show on her face. She pouted angrily. Although she was very dissatisfied with the way Uncle Horace spoke, she still replied, "Ah! This set of magic rune structures was a wedding gift from Jijia and Yingli. It can be regarded as my dowry!"
It's Tracy's dowry!
"Hiss..."
Although Aunt Basha's family couldn't identify the magic rune structure at first glance, they were very clear about the value of a set of magic rune structures. Every little noble hoped to inherit the property of a set of magic rune structures.
In fact, Uncle Horace has a magic pattern structure at home. As the Knight Commander of the Guard Battalion Knights, this magic pattern structure is usually worn by Uncle Horace. However, what makes people feel uncomfortable is that Aunt Basha now has two sons. No matter who inherits Uncle Horace's magic pattern structure in the future, it will be very unfair to the other one.
This is also the most troubling thing for Aunt Basha's family at present.
They never thought that there would be a set of exquisite and brand-new magic pattern structures in Tracy's dowry. In this way, no matter who marries Tracy, this wedding will be a sure win.
"But what is the use of this magic pattern structure? Not only is it tailored according to Tracy's figure, but it is also a female magic pattern structure. Whose girl will become a structure knight!" Aunt Basha's cousin stood aside and saw Tracy wearing a magic pattern structure, and said with a sour tone.
"What a pity, such a beautiful magic pattern structure is actually painted on a female fire snake leather armor." The two cheap cousins also smacked their lips and echoed.
Their eyes were almost glued to Tracy, their hands clenched into fists, and they tried to restrain themselves from reaching out.
But then Tracy said something that made Aunt Basha and her family completely speechless.
Tracy looked down at her magic pattern structure and said as a matter of course: "This two-headed fire snake leather armor is what I wear, of course it is for women, the magic pattern structure given to Allente is for men!"
"..."
When did a set of magic pattern structures become so worthless?
At this time, Aunt Basha and Uncle Horace re-examined Ying Li again, and Ying Li was still standing beside Ryant with a smile.
"Okay, I guess Arendt's magic caravan is on the way, Tracy, get ready!" Fanny clapped her hands and told Tracy who was surrounded by everyone.
Tracy walked past the crowd and came directly to me, stretched out her hand and said to me: "Ji Jia, where is the necklace you promised to give me?"
I took out an exquisite jewelry box from my magic waist bag with a helpless look, handed it to Tracy, and told her: "Although I asked the jeweler to make it, I suggest you put it in the jewelry box instead of wearing it on your body."
"Let me see what it looks like. You said a long time ago that you would make me a necklace with stones from the barbarians. Is it too ugly that you don't let me wear it?" Tracy opened the lid of the jewelry box before she finished her words. I didn't even have time to stop her.
The lid of the square flat wooden box painted with gold was opened by Tracy. The next moment, the surroundings suddenly darkened, as if the light in the whole room was sucked into the wooden box.
Tracy held the wooden box with one hand and looked at the necklace in the box in amazement. She never thought that the gems on the necklace would be so gorgeous. A string of dark blue magic gems as bright as the starry sky lay in the gilded box. The stars of Elune, which were as big as pigeon eggs, exuded a deep magical light.
Ying Li walked over, took the 'Star of Elune' necklace from the box, and put it on Tracy's neck. Thirteen stars of Elune emitting shining starlight formed a 'U' shape on her chest. Tracy lowered her head and gently stroked the necklace on her neck. When her hand touched the Star of Elune, her fingers also turned dark blue.
"Are these the gems on the barbarians?" Tracy looked up and asked me, with doubts in her eyes.
I said frankly: "Yes, the jewelers of the Green Empire call them 'Stars of Elune'. It is said that this is a gift from the Moonlight Goddess. This magical gem is only produced on the ice and snow tundra."
Tracy asked Ying Li next to her: "Are they valuable?"
Ying Li smiled gently and said to Tracy: "It's okay!"
The Star of Elune, which is very popular among the ladies of the imperial capital, is just a sentence of 'It's okay! ’
Since the second wedding gift has been taken out, I simply took out the third wedding gift from the magic waist bag. It was a medium-sized magic box, about two feet long, one foot wide, and one and a half feet high. The whole magic box looked heavy.
“What’s in this box?” Tracy asked me. She probably knew that I had a lot of magic crystals, so she asked me casually: “Is it magic crystals?”
I shook my head.
“Then it’s gold coins?”
I shook my head again, but still didn’t say what was inside.
Tracy couldn't help but want to open the magic box, but I stepped on her and said to her, "This is a box of loot, but don't open it now. Remember to tell Arendt to bring the magic box to the logistics department of the city hall to exchange for merits as soon as possible. I will ask Luka to help you move it to Arendt's magic caravan."
At this time, another guest came. Tracy took off the "Star of Elune" necklace, put it in the gilded wooden box, closed the lid again, and said to me, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Aunt Basha's family has completely fallen silent, and cousin Basha did not hide her envy. Her eyes fell on the necklace box in Tracy's hand and watched Tracy put it into her waist bag.
Uncle Horace stood aside and re-examined me.
Speaking of it, I gave Tracy three wedding gifts in total. The first one was two sets of magic pattern construction, the second one was an Elune Star necklace, and the third one was a box full of barbarian left ears...
