My Magic Age

I took out an opened bottle of golden cider from Ryant's wine cabinet, removed the cork, took down two wine glasses from the wine cabinet, poured the golden wine into the glass, and said to Arendt, "It's nothing."

Our two wine glasses touched each other in the air, making a 'ding' sound.

After taking a sip of the slightly sour golden cider, I said, "Arendt!"

"What?" Arendt looked at me.

"Be nice to Tracy in the future. Although she is a little irritable, she is not unreasonable. If she really did something wrong, please accommodate her." I said to Arendt.

Turning my head to look at Tracy, who was squeezed on the sofa with everyone else, she seemed to be in a good mood recently.

"I will." Arendt said.

After a while, he said again: "I have always heard about you from other falcon teams, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful."

I smiled without comment and said to Arendt: "It was also a coincidence that we met a large group of barbarians who were trying to rush through a pass. We prepared well before the hunt and gathered a group of people to guard it, and then hunted many barbarians."

Arendt's eyes were full of curiosity, and he said to me: "That was a left ear full of magic boxes of barbarians! Jijia, how did you do it? Even if all the knights of the Knights of the Guard Battalion in El City came out in full force, they couldn't kill so many barbarians."

"Do you really want to know?" I smiled and asked him.

"Can you? If it's convenient to say... Of course, I swear I will keep this secret." Arendt said excitedly.

"This doesn't need to be kept secret. If more people know about it, maybe we can directly block these barbarians on the north bank of the Pegasus River next year." I said to Arendt.

After that, I stood up from the high chair, waved to Arendt and said, "Follow me..."

"Where are you two going?" Tracy was sitting on the sofa. Seeing us walking outside the outer room, he leaned over to ask me.

"Arendt wants to know how we hunt barbarians. I will go to the yard with him and show him my secret weapon." I said to Tracy.

"Ji Jia, you are so hateful. You have never told me these things. You never told me when I asked you!" Tracy heard me say this and immediately raised her eyebrows and complained to me with great dissatisfaction.

I spread my hands, shrugged at Tracy and said, "It was the dean of Stans College who specifically asked you not to join the Falcon Squad. I can't do anything about it!"

Tracy was so angry that he was speechless.

"You...are actually falcons?" Horace heard the conversation between me and Tracy and said to me and Tracy with a look of surprise.

"I'm not, only Jijia and Luka are. Every winter they go out to hunt in the suburbs." Tracy pointed at me. She spoke very fast when she was angry.

"But... isn't Jijia a magician? When can magicians go out to hunt barbarians in winter?" Horace asked in confusion.

He probably couldn't understand what role a magician could play in the Falcon Squad.

It can be seen that the cities in the southern part of the province of Sloyte do not have much experience in resisting barbarians.

Few barbarians have ever gone there. Perhaps Nato City is the farthest place the barbarians have reached, and this is even more true for Ravenham City, which is located at the southernmost end of the province of Sloyte. There are probably not many falcon teams there.

"The falcon teams in El City are popular with magic scrolls to set up magic traps. Each falcon team usually has a magician with them." Tracy popularized common sense to everyone.

Uncle Horace looked doubtful, but Gabriel next to him said with interest: "Can I go to the yard with you to have a look?"

I looked at Gabriel who was eager to try, and said to him: "Of course."

I took Arendt and Gabriel to the yard, and Yingli followed, because the parts of the bed crossbow were stored in her magic waist bag.

Yingli took out the parts for assembling the bed crossbow from the magic waist bag and neatly placed them on the withered lawn. There were no orc warriors and female dwarves here, so I had to assemble it myself. I asked Luka to come and help.

Although the tauren seemed a little clumsy in these delicate installations, he was tall and strong. With his help, I quickly set up a bed crossbow in the yard.

Seeing a well-made military bed crossbow set up in the yard, Arendt was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that I would have such a heavy weapon for the army. Arendt asked me: "Where did you buy this bed crossbow?"

"In the Yello plane." I answered.

Arendt and Gabriel came closer, looked at the thick back of the crossbow, and gently stroked the copper capstan with their hands.

Arendt asked me: "Do you use crossbows to hunt barbarians in the wild?"

I said to Arendt: "How is it possible! Such a heavy thing has no mobility, and it is so cumbersome to disassemble and assemble it. Of course, it is impossible to install a crossbow every time I snipe a barbarian. I have said that this is my secret weapon. I will not use it under normal circumstances. I will only use it occasionally. I still have to use ice magic traps to hunt barbarians."

"The falcons in your El City are really amazing. They can even get this kind of armament." Gabriel looked at the crossbow and said to me with envy.

I said: "Aren't we going on a plane war? Over there in Tanton City, many abandoned bed crossbows were thrown to the roadside like garbage. I just bought some that looked like they could still be used. After I came back, I went through a lot of tinkering and it became what it is now.”

Gabri looked at the crossbow and said, "So that's it. No wonder this crossbow doesn't have a wheel base!"

While those of us were watching this bed crossbow on the lawn in the yard, a group of knights poured into the alley outside.

Three luxurious magic caravans stopped in front of my house one after another. The carriages of the three black magic caravans actually displayed the emblems of three different families. I recognized the family emblem of the magic caravan driving at the front. The family emblem on the magic caravan is the emblem of senior Benjamin’s family.

A group of us were looking out of the courtyard when we saw Senior Benjamin leading a group of people into the courtyard.

Walking side by side with Senior Benjamin were two middle-aged nobles. One of them was wearing a black dress, with some gray hair. His face was sharp and angular, and he had the majesty of a superior. He wore a dark gold medal on his chest. This level of decoration means that he is a noble marquis.

The other one was tall and tall. Although he was wearing a light leather armor, he was full of murderous intent. He had a knight's sword hanging on his waist and the earl's noble medal on his chest. No matter where he stood, he It's like an unsheathed sword, making it impossible to ignore him.

I said hello to Senior Benjamin: "Senior Benjamin, why are you here?"

Senior Benjamin smiled at me and introduced to the distinguished Marquis: "Sir Bertie, this is my junior Jijia. It was his Falcon team stationed at the pass of Lake Beland that blocked the way. Barbarians marching south.”

I looked at these two nobles. Maybe I had met many nobles in the imperial capital. Even the Duke had met several of them. So when I faced Marquis Bertie, I didn't feel any pressure in my heart. They looked at each other without fear. A few glances.

When I heard Senior Benjamin introduce me like this, I had some ideas in my mind.

At this time, I heard Senior Benjamin say to me again: "Jijia, these two are Marquis Bertie, the consul of Lavenham City, and Emond, the leader of the Knights of the Guard Battalion. They made a special trip back this time. , just to meet you.”

As I expected, it was the group of people from Lavenham City.

Probably after receiving the news from Senior Benjamin, he immediately rushed over to see me.

The Marquis named Bertie stepped forward, grabbed my hand enthusiastically, and said to me: "Young magician, thank you and your Falcon Team for everything you have done to Lavenham City. Finally, I found you warriors."

Seeing my confused look, he formally introduced himself to me: "Hello, I am Bertie from Lavenham City."

"Hello, Lord Bertie, hello, Lord Emond!" I said to the two of them, turning my body sideways.

The eyes of Marquis Bertie and Captain Emond fell on the bed crossbow in the yard. Captain Emond pointed to the bed crossbow and asked me: "You were using this bed crossbow without a base to guard Belan. Lake?"

"Well, those are the bed crossbows, but there's more than just this one," I replied.

Captain Edmund walked closer and took a closer look. He saw the rivets on each joint of the bed crossbow and exclaimed: "It turns out that the bed crossbow can be disassembled and assembled like this! These structures are very cleverly designed, but then again, this kind of bed The crossbow is not as convenient to use as the bed crossbow that can be pulled around by a carriage. "

I explained: "Those bed crossbows with wheels are considered military supplies. They cannot be purchased without the army establishment warrant signed by Emperor Charles the Great. I picked up these bed crossbows from the scrap market."

Marquis Bertie and Captain Emond looked at each other, and then said to me: "We came all the way here, wouldn't Magic Jijia invite us in to sit down?"

I quickly invited them to sit in the house and said, "Sorry, there is a family gathering at home today, and the house is a little messy."

At this time, Cousin Gabri from Basha's aunt's house stood aside, stood at attention in front of Captain Emond, saluted a knight, and said with a stuttering voice: "E...Your Excellency, Captain Emond, salute!"

Captain Emond thought for a moment before calling out Gabri's cousin's name: "Gabri, why are you here?"

Gabri seemed a little excited, and he replied seriously: "We came to El City to attend the wedding of cousin Tracy."

There was a slight fluctuation in Captain Emond's eyes, and he said to Gabri: "Oh? Are you related to Magician Jijia?"

Cousin Gabri seemed a little reserved in front of Captain Emond, and his words seemed a little hasty. He said: "Uh, yes, Captain! He is my cousin."

Captain Emond raised his eyes and glanced at Cousin Gabri, and said in a rough voice: "Horace never told me that he had such an amazing relative in El City."

Gabri said: "My father happened to be a guest at my uncle's house as well."

Marquis Bertie laughed and said to Emond: "No wonder Your Majesty the Magician Jijia came to help Lavenham City when it was in danger. It turns out that he has relatives living in Lavenham City."

At this time, Liant, who was sitting in the house, saw guests coming to the yard and hurriedly walked out of the house.

I introduced Lord Bertie and Captain Emond to Liant.

Lian Te knew Senior Benjamin. Although he didn't understand why the two rulers of Lavenham City came to visit, he still warmly invited them into the house.

Aunt Basha was lobbying Fanny at this time, telling her about the various benefits of a girl from a commoner family marrying into an aristocratic family.

Aunt Basha's eyes fell on Cindy from time to time. Cindy just sat aside obediently, her eyes slipping out of the window.

Uncle Horace sat on the sofa in a dignified manner, without any intention of standing up to greet the new guests. He probably concluded that Lian Te's friends were all commoners, so he didn't need to stand up to greet them.

Until he heard a familiar voice calling him.

"Horace...Horace! Is that you?" Captain Edmond stood at the door and shouted to Uncle Horace in the living room.

At this time, Uncle Horace turned his head to look at the door with a puzzled look on his face, and saw Marquis Bertie and Captain Edmond standing there, looking at him with a smile on their faces.

Uncle Horace rubbed his eyes vigorously and found that it was not an illusion, so he quickly stood up from the sofa, saluted the Marquis Bertie and Captain Edmond at the door, and said: "Why are the Archon and the Captain here? Is there an emergency in Lavenham?"

"Haha, Horace, it's already this time, do you still want to hide it from us?" Captain Edmond strode towards Uncle Horace, saying loudly as he walked.

Aunt Basha's family looked at Captain Edmond and Marquis Bertie in surprise, but looked at each other in confusion.

"...You were also kept in the dark?" Captain Edmond saw the expressions of Aunt Basha's family, how could he not know that this matter had not been made public within the family.

"What happened...?" Uncle Horace asked Captain Edmond with a strange look on his face.

"Didn't you say before that you must meet the Falcon Warriors who helped us defend the Pass of Lake Belan? How come you didn't notice anything when they stood in front of you!" Captain Edmond frowned and said to Uncle Horace.

"Captain, are you saying that the warriors who helped us defend the Pass of Lake Belan were Jijia and others?" Horace pointed at me and asked.

"Horace, you are right!" After saying that, Captain Edmond sat down next to Uncle Horace and casually looked at the layout of the living room in this three-story attic.

Marquis Bertie and Captain Edmond didn't stay in my house for too long. They just learned about some of the situations at the pass again and confirmed that this was really done by my Falcon Squad. Then they expressed their gratitude to our family and left here with a group of followers.

Looking at those luxurious carriages slowly leaving, I thought they would give us some gifts from the city of Lavenham, but I didn't expect to receive any gifts.

At the following dinner, Aunt Basha's family fell into complete silence. They probably still had a hard time accepting the fact that Marquis Bertie and Captain Edmond would come to visit them in person. Perhaps it was because they could no longer put on a high and mighty attitude in front of Ryant and Fanny, which made them a little uncomfortable.

I saw that the defense of Lake Belan Pass had been made public, so I had to describe the battle process vividly. Of course, the battle scene was slightly reduced by me. Since it was all in the past, I would describe the process in a relaxed way to save Ryant and Fanny from worrying about me.

After the dinner, Aunt Basha's family did not stay any longer. They hired a magic caravan and returned to the hotel in the dark night.

The next morning, Aunt Basha's family took the magic caravan back to Lavenham City. Our family went to the city gate to see Aunt Basha's family off. Before leaving, Uncle Horace sat in the magic caravan and looked at me with a complicated expression.

Before leaving, Aunt Basha did not forget to tell Fanny how excellent her cheap cousin Gabriel was and how wonderful the life of the nobles was. If Fanny wanted to marry Cindy to Gabriel, she and Uncle Horace would consider it... and so on.

But from Cindy's expression, it was clear that there was probably no chance for cousin Gabriel.

Noah and I booked tickets for the airship. At noon, Noah and I boarded the magic airship bound for the imperial capital...
