My Magic Age

One thing I have to admit is that the castle of the Kuz family is very big. Even the sundry warehouse and stables behind the castle are built very grandly. A whole long row of fences were built in the large yard behind, and our sub-returned beasts were kept in the animal pen on the northernmost side of the garden wall. In the morning, I followed Kuz to see it. It has been well taken care of these two days. When it saw Kuz, it was still happy to put its huge head in Kuz's arms and be intimate with Kuz.

I walked out of the restaurant that entertained ordinary guests and found a castle gate at random. I found that it was already dusk in the backyard of the castle. I was busy almost all day, no wonder my stomach was rumbling like a drum.

I sat on a stone on the edge of an artificial pool, biting a long piece of black bread. Then I began to look for a way out of the garden with my eyes. I clearly remembered that in the morning, I walked around the left side of the castle with Kuz. I should go over there and take a look.

The orange-yellow setting sun stretched the shadows of the scenery in the garden very long. The sky darkened and the scenery became blurred. There are many apple trees in the garden. The evening breeze blew through the trees, and the shadows of the trees were dim. The eaves of the warehouses were very low, and they were arranged neatly in rows. Some hay that had not been pushed into the warehouses in time was piled in the alleys, and these warehouses looked a bit messy.

I have been to this garden twice. The goods unloaded from the Yagui beasts were stored in the warehouse next to the stables, but there should be nothing there now. The herbs had all been sold in the morning and only exchanged for a wooden box of magic materials. The magic antelope skins made us a lot of money, and we got a full 47 gold coins. The captured weapons were also sold for 15 gold coins.

In this way, our pockets became rich again. Kuz wanted to use the magic antelope horns to make some short spears and distribute them to the beastwomen in the Laitu tribe. For a long time, they needed to use their own short spears to protect themselves. Slingshots are sharp, but it is difficult to kill with one blow. The spear made of the horn of the demon antelope can easily pierce the wind wolf, which is very practical.

I was indeed a little hungry. I ate most of the black bread in one breath, and then I found that the bread was very crumbly. When swallowing, it irritated my throat and made it itchy. Now the dry bread made me thirsty. The water in the artificial pool was very clear. It should be used for drinking water for the animals in the stable. I jumped down from the stone, squatted beside it, supported my body with my hands, and put my head into the pool to drink two sips of water.

Just at this time, I heard chaotic footsteps. Someone came.

I was happy in my heart, and hurriedly got up and asked them for directions. I didn't want to go around in circles in this backyard and waste time.

But I heard the voice of an orc saying: "I heard that Master Kuz brought back a lot of good things this time?"

"Nothing special, just bags of primary herbs such as one-leaf grass, tranquilizing flowers and kudzu root. Oh, and two bundles of sheepskin! Two long wooden boxes." Another orc said.

This voice was familiar to me. After a little thought, the appearance of the attendant in charge of the warehouse appeared in my mind. His orc language was very poor, with a strong accent and always with some dialect.

"Take me to see it. I haven't been to the North Foothills Wasteland. I heard that there are herds of wild cattle and sheep on that wasteland, and the products are rich, and magical herbs grow in patches." The previous orc continued, and they looked very familiar.

The attendant guarding the warehouse said without thinking: "Okay, but you are late, brother. Those things were moved out in the afternoon, and now the warehouse is empty."

"Ah!"

The footsteps of the two people gradually faded away, and I slowly revealed my figure under the shadow of the apple tree next to the stone and left along the way they came. The magic of "Shadow Cloak" seems to be pretty good. Otherwise, if they knew that I heard those words, I don't know what they would think in their hearts. If they think that I know their secrets and have bad intentions towards me, at this time, my hunting rifle is not with me. I am so young, what can I do?

It seems that there are still many people who want to find out about Kuz's true strength. In this castle, various forces are entangled, and it is definitely not something that Kuz and I, who are weak and weak, can provoke. We have to leave this troubled place as soon as possible, otherwise we will be eaten inexplicably and not even our bones can be found.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to turn to the square in front of the castle. At this time, Kuz was walking over here. When he saw me coming out of the back garden, he complained, "Jia, it's almost time for dinner. Where have you been? I was just going to look for you."

I raised the remaining half loaf of black bread in my hand, and walked back with Kuz arm in arm: "I was a little hungry. I took a loaf of bread from the restaurant, and you disappeared."

Kuz took my hand away and said a little embarrassedly, "Hey, if my mother sees this, she will nag me for a long time."

He glanced at the maid behind him with a guilty conscience. Since the first day Kuz returned home, she always followed Kuz as long as he was in the castle. It must be said that she was a very decent-looking wolf beast girl. She was big in the right places and soft and delicate in the right places. But she had a poker face all day long, which was very boring, far less than the passionate Geerle.

On the right side of the castle square, there is a martial arts training field made of rammed loess, with some stone piers and stone mills placed on the edge. When you get up in the morning, you can still see young orcs practicing on the training ground. During the day, there are almost no people here. Unexpectedly, before dinner, a circle of people gathered here, and Kuz and I also went over to watch the fun. I squeezed into the crowd and squeezed to the front, only to see Chief Kut standing in the center of the competition arena. He was only wearing mail trousers, and his upper body was bare, showing his strong bronze muscles. He was kicking the young werewolf who rushed up from the side. He kicked it away, causing cheers from all around.

I feel like Kurt is standing there like a ferocious wolf that chooses people to devour. As long as I am glanced at by his murderous eyes, I feel a chill coming from my bones and my soul trembles for a moment. , this is just the feeling it brings to me. The danger he brought to me was far greater than the white wolf warrior Mika I had encountered in the wilderness. Lee Ross is much bigger. There were more than a dozen young werewolves lying around on the competition ground, and every one of them dared to get up and fight again.

"A bunch of bear bags, get up and fight again!" Kurt said coldly as he looked at the young werewolves around him.

These people were the same group of young werewolves we met at dinner yesterday, and there were several familiar faces who had shown their bravery in front of Qige. Kurt turned around and happened to see Kuz, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Xiaoqi, do you want to come down and try?"

"Okay!" Kurtz replied without thinking. I have always felt that this child should not be a werewolf. He is too upright and more like the savages on the ice and snow tundra. He does everything without thinking, and he is very special. reckless. But it is a werewolf like him that truly inherits the wildness, bravery, persistence, and determination of the orcs.

When the young werewolves lying on the competition ground heard Kuz's cheerful agreement, it was as if they heard the sound of nature. They got up quickly in twos and threes, supported each other and quickly left the competition ground. When they saw them leaving, they looked relaxed. The way he looked, I was secretly worried about Kurtz. I grabbed an orc attendant beside me who was watching the fun and asked him: "Does Chief Kut always come here to test the martial arts of young people?"

"It only happens about once a month, maybe!" The orc attendant lowered his head and saw that I was a child, and he replied cheerfully. When the attendant saw me being pushed forward by the crowd, he shouted behind me: "Why are you squeezing? Stay back, stay back."

I quickly gave him a sweet smile, and this guy stood behind me very proudly, using his body to help me block the crowd of people behind me, and then said to me: "It was always Kulade in the past. The chief is here to give them guidance. In recent months, it has been Chief Kut who has presided over it. However, this is already a custom. Before the coming-of-age ceremony every year, the young masters will be more diligent. If it is during the coming-of-age ceremony, Not getting a tattoo is a very shameful thing. Only orcs who have achieved status as warriors, hunters, and shamans are eligible to be tattooed by tribal warriors at the coming-of-age ceremony. I heard that this young master Kuz was there. He hunted a magic antelope in Beilu Wilderness. If this is true, he will have a magic antelope tattooed on his chest during his coming-of-age ceremony. No young man has ever had this honor in recent years!"

I asked with some curiosity: "Then according to what you said, if he hunted a swamp zombie before the coming-of-age ceremony, would that zombie still be tattooed on his body?"

"You are a very smart kid! You are absolutely right. You speak Orcish very well and have the accent of our Gurudin Town. Are you a human child who grew up in Gurudin Town? Who are you? "Guest?" the orc attendant asked me curiously, and then he didn't care if I replied. Answer, stretched out his arm, revealing the exquisite sheep's head with tattoos on it, and said: "Look, I got this when I went hunting in the wilderness with my master last autumn. At that time, we were pretty lucky and caught an old sheep head. The devil antelope that can’t run away, haha, so I got this tattoo.”

"Hey, I'm talking about Jiji, are you bragging to others about what you missed last year again?" A mocking voice came from behind.

The attendant who was called Cheng Jiji immediately turned around like a fighting cock with his eyes wide open and said loudly: "You are the envy of Chi Guoguo!"

Only then did I realize that the coming-of-age ceremony is not just about holding a dance or a buffet. There are also many strange patterns tattooed on the coming-of-age ceremony. These patterns will show each young werewolf's place in the tribe. specific strength and status.

Kuz quickly took off the magic antelope skin light armor he was wearing and put it into the hands of the maid beside him. The maid squatted aside, and then she looked at Kurtz with fiery eyes. The orcs worshiped the brave. At this moment, Kurtz jumped onto the fighting field wearing only a linen shirt and tight trousers, without any hesitation. Paying attention to the eyes of everyone around him, under Kurt's strong pressure, he carefully performed a set of extremely simple gymnastics. Yes, the gymnastics I taught him were mainly to strengthen the various parts of the body before strenuous exercise. Move around to avoid spraining your joints.

Kurt used the tip of his scarlet tongue to lick his neat teeth, his eyes like knives.

He stood in the center of the field, like a majestic mountain. He was obviously not much taller than Kuz, but when he looked at Kuz, he gave people a strong feeling of overlooking him. He said calmly: "Xiao Qi, are you afraid that I will smash your light armor with a punch?"

Kuz smiled, put on an offensive stance, and then said: "Brother, I'm here!"

The sound of 'big brother' made Kurt's knife-like eyes instantly weaken by three points.

Kurtz was very fast. He rushed in front of Kurt in a few breaths, making a deep sound, inhaling, and spitting out fists in one go. But Kurt easily caught it with one hand, and then said calmly: "Is this all you have? All your skills as a little hunter are in that bow, right? Why don't you bring your bow to fight with me?"

After saying that, Kurt gently raised his hand, and the hand that blocked Kurtz's fist was silently printed on Kurtz's chest, pushing Kurtz more than ten meters away.

Kurtz rubbed his chest with his hands, grinning in pain, but shook his head and said: "What I lack is the experience in close combat, and I can't use a bow and arrow."

After that, Kuz started running again. His body shape kept changing as he ran, either jumping up or getting shorter. If an experienced hunter stood here and watched, he would understand that these were all running. The posture of shooting arrows when moving, except that Kurtz is now holding it There was no hunting bow. Kurt saw that Kuz was not afraid of the pain. He nodded with great satisfaction. He took a half step forward with his left foot, crossed his hands on his chest, and then killed Kuz. The momentum and rhythm brought out by the running were directly dissipated.

At this time, Kurtz was already in front of Kurt. Seeing something bad, he rolled to the left. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Kurt's right foot seemed to have stopped on the track of Kurtz's rolling. The hard cowhide His leather boots directly kicked Kuz's right ribs. Kuz was like a wind wolf hit by an arrow in the wilderness, wailing and getting out.

Everyone watching around took a breath of cold air. Just when everyone was wondering whether Kurtz could get up, Kurtz was like a wild boar in heat, shooting at Kurt again like an arrow, and Kurt ducked sideways. Passing Kurtz's punch, taking advantage of Just as his old style was about to expire and the new style was yet to emerge, a strong big hand grabbed Kurtz's wrist and pulled it in the direction of Kurtz. Kurtz's center of gravity was unstable and he flew down miserably. Dust is flying on the time tourney.

"I'm here, charge!" Kurt said hello before moving.

The skill I hate the most is the warrior's "Charge." It will stun the opponent very savagely. For a small person like me, I don't need to be stunned for two seconds, but I will be stunned by the opponent's punch for half a second. . Therefore, after the battle at the mouth of the valley, and the experience of being grabbed by the throat and almost strangled to death by Ming Qian at the water source of the valley, Kuz and I occasionally deduced the battle that day together. The most unsolvable thing It's the 'Charge' skill. What we talk about the most together is what kind of actions to use to avoid charges.

Kurtz was like a kite in Kurt's hand at this moment. Just a second before Kurt turned into a white light and rushed to Kurtz, Kurtz flew backwards like a kite following Kurt's fist wind, steadily. Landing steadily on the edge of the competition arena, his two empty hands made a bow and arrow pose, and he showed a proud smile to Kurt.

I actually avoided it, and my mouth opened wide, so big that I could almost swallow a peach. Kuz's body coordination is really good, and he can actually use his strength to make his body fly backwards.

"Not bad, but if I don't stop my 'charge' in time, you will still be stunned for a while, even if you jump away. So before that, you must use the trap to trap me, otherwise you will Just wait to be fought by the warriors! I don't know how many cleave attacks you can avoid, but your move is quite ingenious. Huh, have you ever suffered from the 'Charge' skill?" Kurt stopped and walked over. Kuzla, who was squatting on the edge of the competition arena, stood up and asked.

Kuz scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "My brother Jijia and I encountered gray dwarves at the exit of the Road of Death. My brother was knocked unconscious by a dwarf and almost died, so we usually always We will discuss how to avoid this 'charge'."

"Why don't you ask grandpa?" Kurt asked with a pleased smile.

Kurtz stared with big eyes, rubbed his chest with his hands and breathed cold air, and said, "I want to see if I can solve it!"

"Actually, you just need to step three meters away sideways. Well, the timing of the leap is very important. It can't be too early, otherwise the soldiers on the opposite side will change direction before you do. It can't be too late, otherwise they will jump out. When you are knocked unconscious, not only will you be knocked unconscious, but you will also be knocked away. At that time, you will be miserable if the opponent's fighter is picking up. The 'Rising Dragon Attack' will directly lift you into the air, and you are really not far from death. All you have to do is jump out at the same time as he starts. If you can avoid it, he will be the one who is stunned. "Come on, let's try again..." Kurt patiently explained to Kurtz, leaving everyone around him stunned.

The group of young werewolves quickly moved forward and listened carefully to Kurt's battle experience. Then I saw Kuz happily being treated as a human punching bag again and knocked away. Unexpectedly, there are many ways to crack these combat skills. The ones Kurtz and I usually think of are too childish. Now when we heard Kurt explain it, we felt like a magnificent door had opened to us.
