My Magic Age

The streets are not very wide, and the houses here are all built very low. In order to occupy as much space as possible and allow more poor people to live in the narrow rooms, the orcs also cleverly expanded the wooden houses on the streets little by little. , to this extent, the eaves of the houses facing the street are almost stuck together, making this uneven road The stone road looked too dark and damp, and the gaps between the stone slabs were covered with green moss. The drainage ditches on both sides of the road were filled with turbid sewage, and there were even dead mice or rotten animal offal floating in them, congealed into lumps. Dirty grease hangs on the sides of the gutters like black ice that condenses on the sides of the gutters in winter.

We walked through such a dark alley again and saw a family of orcs setting their dining table under the rain on the street. There were large pieces of vegetable cakes in the big wooden bowls on the table, which were made with a lot of wild vegetables and very little. Black flour is mixed together and fried into pancakes on a stone slab. It is said that there is no salt in this kind of cake, but looking at the smile and satisfaction on that person's face, in this second, I tasted a hint of happiness.

A mangy dog ​​with most of its fur falling off was putting its head into the drainage ditch, constantly licking the condensed animal fat on the ditch wall. These fats are usually stretched by the leather maker with a scraper before cooking the leather. The fat particles scraped from the tight leather flowed into the ditch along with the hot sewage and turned into gutter oil.

Several bare-legged orc children were squatting on the street, each holding a straw stick and poking at the ant holes, playing very attentively.

Occasionally, there will be a beast girl standing under the rain edge on the street.

Whenever male orcs who don't look too downtrodden walk by on the street, they will raise their eyes and look at them. If they think there is a chance, they will come out from under the eaves and show off their figures and body in front of the male orcs. A face, a look or an action, it opened my eyes to the fact that there are also such secluded and dirty streets in the towns of the orcs, and there are also street girls.

Kuz, a fledgling who seems to have no experience, is actually wearing a set of light armor made of precious magic antelope skin. This is the age when he has no resistance to women. Young orcs in adolescence are more eager to understand women. body, so when he walked through this street, he naturally became the object of competition for the favor of these street girls.

I saw nothing unusual about Catalina's expression, and sometimes she would curiously look at the hairstyles on the heads of these women standing on the street. Kurtz was a little embarrassed. At this time, he was blushing and walking forward silently with his head half lowered. He even had to carefully avoid the street girls blocking the road and pass through in a panic amidst their indulgent laughter.

Qige looked very angry, and pulled me into her arms grumpily, covering my eyes with one hand, and asked me to follow her.

In fact, what made her feel unbalanced was not walking through such a street full of poor men and streetwalkers, nor the orc streetwalkers and their delicate wheat-colored skin, but me. The reason is that I gave the precious salamander skin to Catalina without thinking of giving it to her. Although she didn't say anything about it, she would always pinch me for no reason, and I knew something was wrong.

It's like buying a gift for the little wife but being discovered by the older wife, but she can't argue, hey, you are a magician, so it is appropriate to wear a magic robe. The magic robe also has the effect of restoring magic power, and can also slightly The increased casting speed, how nice it is! If you really dare to say this to Miss Qi, you are simply seeking death. Wouldn't that be tantamount to telling Miss Qi clearly that I know your little thoughts, and it is wrong for you to think that way! Jijia, you don’t think death is fast enough, do you?

Qige and I were walking side by side in this alley. She held my arm with one hand. It looked like a sister pulling her brother shopping, but her two fingers were pressed on the inside of my arm, bit by bit. I pinched the tender meat so hard that it made me grin. Catalina followed behind us. She saw this scene carefully, her pearly teeth biting her lower lip, and her red wavy hair kept undulating with the rhythm of walking. It was very charming, but to Qi The eldest lady did not dare to complain at all.

The reason why Miss Qi likes this salamander skin is very simple, that is, there is a layer of red light on the surface of this leather, just like lava flowing inside the leather, which can emit a simple red color. It is very beautiful. This fire Lizard leather is not very big. If you cut a set of tight leather light armor for a child like me, there will be some leftover. If you save some materials, you can almost make a red pleat. I unintentionally ruined her planned plan. In order to calm Miss Qi's anger, I could only grovel and keep saying small things next to her. I whispered to Miss Qi: "Oh, please don't do this anymore." I pinched my arm and I couldn’t feel it anymore. Have you ever heard of the Agate Beast?”

"A magical beast that looks like a black panther, exuding the luster of agate stone, good at speed and claw attacks!" Qige quickly told its characteristics and asked: "I have never heard of this kind of magical beast appearing anywhere. , but I saw a complete specimen in the Warcraft Exhibition Room of the Magic Guild in the Green Capital, why did I think of asking this?"

I took the opportunity to quickly pull the blushing Kuz to my side, reluctantly put my hand on his shoulder, and proudly said to Qige: "This matter is a secret between us brothers. We know the traces of the Agate Beast."

The Agate Beast is very rare. It is a kind of monster that is very picky about its living environment. It is very picky about its food and only likes to hunt dragon flies. Therefore, the agate beast has always existed in the rainforest of the swamp clan in the Southern Wilderness. Until later, a magician accidentally discovered that the leather of the agate beast has a very high magic affinity and is excellent for making low-level magic robes. Material. As a result, the agate beast skins, which were originally among the luxury goods, were targeted by magicians. A large number of orders flew like snowflakes into the hands of the hunters of the swamp tribe. The first large-scale siege of the agate beasts in history was launched with great vigor. , eventually leading to the complete disappearance of the agate beasts in the Southern Wilderness. Some scholars even speculated that these agate beasts may have become extinct.

"Do you know where it is?" Qige didn't ask me, but asked Kuz beside me. I guessed that it must be Kuz who told me. It was much easier to ask Kuz than to ask me.

Kurtz has inherited the good habits of the orcs, that is, if they don't like to lie, they will admit it without hesitation as long as it is true. At this time, when he saw Qige asking him, he didn't hesitate at all. He nodded directly and opened his mouth to speak. I quickly covered his mouth, and my fingers were almost bitten by his sharp canine teeth.

I looked around carefully, then lowered my voice and said, "Let's talk about this when we get back!"

In this way, Qige's attention was successfully diverted, and I was saved from physical harm.

Finally, I scratched my head and looked at the intricate paths like spider webs, so I took out two coins from my pocket, threw them to an orc child who was playing on the street, and said to him: "Take us to the 'Three Earth Dire Bears'" 'Leatherworker, I'll give you two more coppers."

The orc kid blinked his big black eyes. At first I thought he didn't understand what I said or didn't recognize this leather shop, but seeing that his eyes were clear, it didn't look like him. While I was wondering what he was going to do, he suddenly stretched out his hand and asked for the remaining two copper plates. I could only remind him: "I will only give you those two copper plates after you take us to the leather shop." you!"

After hearing what I said, he blinked at me again. I followed his gaze and saw the three characters "tailor shop" written clearly under the wooden plaque of the shop on the opposite side of the street. And under this plaque Next to the doorpost at the bottom, there is a small plaque erected, leaning against the doorpost, which reads "Three Earth-Bear Leather Shop". There is also a line of smaller words below: Please enter the backyard!

Unexpectedly, we arrived in front of this leather shop, but we couldn't even see it. So we could only follow the promise and throw two coins to the child again. This time, the child's eyes showed a smile. , nodded happily to me, quickly put the copper in his hand into his pocket, patted the dust on his hand, pointed to the shop, and said he would send us in.

Sometimes, we are only one step away from the truth, but we always linger outside the door of the truth.

Inside the door of this shop is really a tailor shop. There are several young beast girls inside who are skillfully sewing linen trousers. The style of the trousers is the most common style worn by orcs on the street. Maybe he was so skilled that he didn't even have to keep his eyes on the needle and thread, and he could let the needle quickly sew up and down the trouser legs.

When they saw the orc child leading us into the store, they joked with the orc child and tried to pull off the orc child's pants, but the orc child cleverly avoided it. The orc child did not speak to them, but directly opened the curtain at the back door of the tailor shop and motioned for us to walk in.

When we walked in, we found that we were in a small courtyard. The entire courtyard was lined with wooden shelves. Many of the wooden shelves were stretched with ripe leather, apparently waiting to dry. The ventilation in the small courtyard is very poor. The leather on the neatly arranged wooden shelves exudes an unpleasant smell. There is also a row of large water tanks filled with water next to the wall. We walked through the gaps in the wooden shelves, so I Complained to Kurtz: "Why does this leather shop have to be so hidden? It's so hard to find!"

The child smiled even more happily when he heard my words.

When we walked in from the back of the shop, we realized that we had gotten lost and accidentally walked into the back door of the "Three Earth Fury Bears" leather shop. We also happened to see the shop owner's children sitting outside playing outside. , he brought us in through the back door, and took us directly to the shop, where he asked his father to help us make a set of salamander skin armor.

The middle-aged shop owner turned out to be the father of the orc child. Originally, he did not agree with jumping in line like this, especially if he was a stranger. There were many regular customers among the people waiting in line outside. However, looking at the aggrieved face of the orc child, he He hugged her again and said hurriedly: "Do it, do it, it's just a matter of leather armor. This is what your father and I do, are you worried about the business?"

So we became the small group of people who disturbed the order. We could never appear in front of others at this time, so we had to crowd into the middle-aged shop owner's measuring room and hide away.

The "Three Earth-Bears" leather-making shop has a very large storefront in front, and it is overcrowded. Fortunately, we were brought in by this orc kid. Otherwise, when we saw the orcs lining up at the front entrance of the leather shop, waiting for tailor-made leather armor, we not only looked at each other, but thought to ourselves, what if we were waiting in line? , I still have to wait a full day!

I also have my own thoughts about giving up the Salamander Leather Armor to Katarina. Katarina's figure is already slightly taller than the average height among human women. The figure is also very round and well-proportioned, very fleshy, but not fat. The salamander leather armor tailor-made according to her figure. Even if she encounters a better leather armor in the future and wants to change it, she will easily sell such a regular-sized leather armor. The average female warrior has the same figure as Katrin. It won't be too different, so it can be worn without any major changes.

In this case, this set of salamander leather armor is a store of value. Even if Catalina encounters any difficulties in the future, this set of leather armor will probably be able to help her tide over the difficulties. Speaking of the value of this salamander, it can be sold for at least ten gold coins in the leather market. According to the memory of the previous life, one gold coin in this world can buy about two tons of wheat flour, and the value difference is only 10,000 RMB, so this precious salamander skin is equivalent to a high-end mink coat.

The owner of the shop is a very burly man from the wolf tribe. His face is covered with beards, and he has big eyes and thick eyebrows. He looks very imposing, especially his body is like a beer barrel, and he walks slowly with a shy belly. He was wearing a pair of suspender trousers, with a measuring tape hanging on his shoulder like a tailor, a knife and pen in his ear, and a tattered parchment book hanging around his neck. He was sitting on a chair, which made me feel that The chair can completely fall apart at any time and at any time.

We took out the salamander skin from the bag, and the middle-aged shop owner took a breath and became more formal when he looked at us. His rough hands repeatedly rubbed the leather, and he frowned and said calmly. : "The skin of this lizard is of good quality. It is a young salamander, but its skill in making leather is average. Who should I make the leather armor for? Light armor or hard leather armor?"

I pulled out Catalina who was hiding behind Qige, pushed her in front of the middle-aged shop owner and said, "Make her a suit of light armor!"

Qi Ge snorted dissatisfiedly at the side, which frightened Catalina into crying, and she stood there unable to move forward or retreat for a while.

"I'm really willing to put money into your little wife!" Qi Ge pouted with a sullen face, and there were ten thousand dissatisfaction in her big talking eyes. Kuz has always stayed away from these troublesome matters.

I had no choice but to step forward and put my arms around Qige. I was short and my head was just right on Qige’s thin waist. Then I said to her in a rogue manner: "Look, this salamander skin is just like this. For a moment and a half, I Even if I know how to do it, I can’t get another one out. This salamander skin is already like this. How about you see how my skin looks like and if you think it’s okay, I’ll ask the shopkeeper to take a knife and peel it off and give it to you. Making armor?"

Qige held my armpits with both hands, picked me up from the ground, put her fair forehead on my forehead, and whispered in my ear intimately: "What do I want you to do with your skin? Don't do it." It disgusts me. I don’t care if you can awaken the magic pool in the future. You have to promise me that you will come to the imperial capital and paint me a magic pattern structure on my body..."

As she spoke, her face turned red. I felt uncomfortable being held by her like this, so I gently tapped her to make her bulge slightly, and asked half-jokingly: "Is it okay to get a tattoo like this?"

"Do you think you've been living a good life for too long, and your whole body is starting to itch?" Qige was ashamed and angry when I asked her. She held my ears with both hands, dragged me to a corner and beat me violently, but I didn't do anything. She dared to fight back, but as a magician, she simply didn't have the strength in her hands. Maybe she was afraid of really hurting me, so she just used her pink fist to beat me on the back.

"With such a bad temper, how can you get married in the future?" I counterattacked while squatting in the corner, and was immediately beaten again.

Sometimes, I can't figure out what Qige is thinking. Maybe she is a multi-faceted contradiction in her inner world. Some people say that if it is the flower season and the rainy season, don't think about what the consequences will be, just feel life quietly, savor the ups and downs of emotions, don't give up easily, and don't get into trouble, just be so quiet and let nature take its course. feelings.
