My Magic Age

The two knights of the Guard Battalion came slowly from the Gate of the Holy Statue to the dock. The main streets of a water city like Haiyinsi are composed of waterways that extend in all directions. Together with the pedestrian stone streets on both sides of the streets and a large number of arched stone bridges, they form a traffic network in the city.

Due to the traffic conditions in Haiyinsi City, the Guard Battalion is mainly composed of kayak guards, but in some main squares and municipal buildings, as well as some main streets and docks, the knights riding tall horses are still the main force to maintain law and order.

It can be seen that the Green Empire's obsession with knights has penetrated into their bones.

The Gate of the Holy Statue is one of the most important buildings in Haiyinsi City. There are many knights of the Guard Battalion patrolling near the Gate of the Holy Statue. The boatman sent by Morad quickly called two knights of the Guard Battalion.

The fur of the two war horses was as black and shiny as satin. The knights sitting on the saddles were wearing gorgeous silver-plated armor. The weather in Haiyinsi City was hot, and the two knights were bare-chested under their armor, without wearing linen shirts. The facial contours of Haiyinsi people were very three-dimensional, with sunken eye sockets, straight noses, fair skin, and strong muscles against the silver-plated armor, looking like marble statues in the municipal square.

When the young noble Morad and his friends saw the two late knights, they felt as if they had seen their relatives. The two knights rushed over, and the crowd watching on the dock immediately parted to both sides to make way for the knights.

On this luxury yacht, a boatman immediately ran off the boat carrying a wooden stool, and someone led the horses for the two knights. The two knights stretched out their hands and jumped off the horse's back lightly, pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword at their waist, and boarded the yacht with a serious face.

Two knights came to us, their eyes first fell on the magic wand in Ying Li's hand, and fear flashed in their eyes, and then they fell on Morad's group. Morad was about to greet the two knights, but was interrupted by a knight.

One of the knights of the guard camp first looked around the outside of the field, then turned to us and asked: "Excuse me, who called us?"

Morad walked out of the crowd and told the two knights that it was them.

"What happened?" the knight asked.

The young noble Morad hurriedly told the whole story.

The two knights looked at each other, then looked at us and asked cautiously, "Are you not from Haiyinsi?"

Ying Li wanted to stand up and show his identity, but I secretly pulled him back. I took the lead and said to the knight, "We came from the imperial capital. We heard a long time ago that the gate of the holy image of Haiyinsi was built very magnificently. This time we passed by Haiyinsi City and came to pay our respects. We happened to see this group of people making things difficult for two civilians, so we stood up to stop them."

The knights looked around again and saw that the crowd of onlookers were staring at this side silently, and nodded with serious expressions.

When Morad heard me say this, he quickly said to the knight: "These foreigners had some disputes with us at the Holy Elephant Square, so when we were dealing with a thief on our ship, they took the opportunity to interfere with us."

The friends around the young noble also nodded and said: "Yes, they rely on their status as magician nobles to wantonly defy the laws of the Green Empire and the Charter Convention of Haiyinsi City, so please ask the two knights to put them in the prison of Haiyinsi."

The two knights said righteously: "Whether these foreigners are guilty or not will be decided by the chief judge of the House of Representatives. Of course, since it involves magicians, the Haiyinsi Magic Guild needs to be invited to jury. Before the House of Representatives makes a decision, please stay in Haiyinsi for the time being and wait for the House of Representatives to open the trial at any time. We will take the civilian thief back to the guard camp..."

It can be seen that the two knights of the guard camp did not want to cause trouble for themselves. From their expressions, it can be seen that they even felt quite dissatisfied that they were involved in such a small matter. The traditional aristocratic forces of the Green Empire and the magician aristocrats have always been full of contradictions.

As the traditional noble power of the Green Empire gradually declined, the new noble power with mages as the main members gradually rose. The new and old forces frequently had some disputes over the allocation of resources. For such sensitive political issues, the guard camp would of course try to avoid them as much as possible. In the eyes of these two knights, the problem of this matter was that hateful thief. As long as the civilian thief was brought back and convicted, as for the others, no one was injured, and there was no right or wrong in that matter.

At this time, a group of skuas flew over the sky, screaming overhead, as if they were mocking the two knights.

Seeing the knights of the guard camp pointing their spearheads at the boy, Ying Li stood beside me and questioned the knight's decision: "He didn't steal anything, he's not a thief! Why don't you investigate before jumping to conclusions?"

Hearing Ying Li say this, the two knights of the guard camp also frowned, suppressed their anger and explained to Ying Li: "So many nobles here have identified him as a thief, and he appeared on this yacht without an invitation. Doesn't this show that he has the idea of ​​stealing?"

I saw Kong Zhen sitting on another boat and the boy in her arms, and questioned him in a somewhat stiff tone: "If I want to kill him now, would you think I'm a murderer?"

My words instantly choked the two knights speechless. After taking a breath, one of the knights spread his hands and said to us: "We just want to take him back to the guard camp to verify the situation. "

At this time, Ying Li also said stubbornly: "If this matter cannot be solved on site, then we will all go to the guard camp."

The two knights from the guard camp got a little angry when they saw that we were so unrelenting, and they said to us rudely: "Well, don't think that as a magician noble, you have extra privileges... "

Ying Li rarely lost her temper, and her tone seemed a bit aggressive at this time. She said to the two knights in the guard camp: "As a witness, what's wrong with me returning to the guard camp with you?"

The knight said to Ying Li with a straight face: "Since you insist on returning to the guard camp with me, of course we will not refuse." After saying that, he boarded the boat we rented and reached out to catch the trembling man. boy.

Helena and Becky stood in front of Kong Zhen and the boy and refused to step back. The weapons in their hands were pointed at the two knights from the guard camp, preventing the two knights from getting close.

At this time, the owner of the ship stood a little stupid at the stern. Few people dared to openly resist these knights guarding the camp.

Ying Li chased after the two knights and returned to the boat we rented. He pointed at the men of Moras and said to the two knights: "Since we are going to the guard camp, shouldn't they go with us? "

Of course, these two knights didn't want to cause trouble. Just when they were about to find an excuse to evade, Ying Li immediately said: "If you dare to let them go now, I will go to the Magic Guild to appeal immediately!"

It seemed that Ying Li's words were quite effective. The two knights stopped immediately and said helplessly to Ying Li: "We are only responsible for recording the disputes between you, and the power of judgment lies with the House of Representatives. The Speaker will make the fairest decision for you."

Ying Li argued: "We are all witnesses to the child. We can all prove that he did not steal anything. Aren't you going to handle this matter? They are the ones who reported the crime. Shouldn't they go to the guard camp together?"

When the two knights heard what Ying Li said, they looked at each other, then turned around and walked onto the yacht, talking to Moras and the others.

Ying Li stood in front of me and said to me apologetically: "Jijia, let's go to the guard camp with them!"

It was as if she had to bear some responsibility for the bad public security problems in Haiyinsi City.

I touched the Marquis's magic badge in my pocket and reminded Ying Li: "Actually, I can tell them my identity... mine is fine."

Unexpectedly, Ying Li stubbornly shook his head and said to me: "Not everyone has our status. The Green Empire lacks a law to protect civilians. If the imperial capital can issue this law in the future, I hope Haiyinsi will be The first cities to implement this law.”

After saying this, Ying Li glanced across the pier and looked at the Icon Gate in the distance.

…

Therefore, our original plan to visit the Magic Tower was changed to being invited to drink tea in the guard camp. A group of young nobles including Moras were also invited back by these two knights. Moras' face was as gloomy as To drip water, after walking into the gate of the guard camp, he sat in the hall without saying a word.

Kong Zhen led the boy into the guard camp with a pale face. The boy was simply frightened and shivered in Kong Zhen's arms. Kong Zhen asked me worriedly and said apologetically, "No." It’s time to involve us and worry about how it will affect us.

Ying Li glanced at me, his eyes clearly saying, "Why doesn't Kong Zhen know our identities?"

I shrugged to Yingli without explaining.

This is how I used to be! I remember that when I was in the caravan, I didn’t even have the identity of a civilian in the Green Empire. At that time, I was just a child wandering in the wasteland with the old orcs.

Ying Li took the opportunity to say a few words of comfort to Kong Zhen, and Kong Zhen's pale face regained some color.

It seems that the knights deliberately wanted to keep us here. They invited Moras and the young nobles in and recorded the whole thing in detail. We had to wait in the hall of the guard camp, while the boys He was put into an iron cage where we could see him, holding onto the cage railings with both hands, looking pitifully at Sora outside the cage.

At this time, a group of nobles wearing gorgeous attires walked in from outside the guard camp hall. The leader of the nobles also wore the count's badge on his chest. When he walked into the hall, almost everyone in the guard camp hall stood up and paid tribute to him. .

The nobleman walked inside with a straight face and said nothing, while the knights along the way turned to both sides.

The guide in front took him to the door of a room. He pushed open the door and strode into the room where Morad was invited to drink tea. A man's dull voice came from the room:

"Morad, why are you here? I'm not saying that there will be a dance to welcome Princess Yingli in the evening. What are you doing with the guard camp? Is there anything you can't let your men do?"

Then, another voice came from the room: "Your Excellency Gorgas, why are you here?"

The dull voice of the noble Count Gorgas came to mind again. His voice was sonorous and powerful. He assumed the posture of a superior and said to the voice: "I heard that Morad was invited to the guard camp by you. The Marquis sent me to take a look. , what happened?”

Another voice in the room seemed a little unsure, and explained repeatedly: "It's just a trivial matter. A thief quietly boarded Master Morad's yacht and was caught on the spot. Some outsiders thought that The thief is innocent, so we invited Master Morad back to the guard camp to verify the situation."

"Foreigner...noble?" Count Gorgas' dull voice was like a heavy hammer.

"It's from the Magic Guild...the magician nobles." Another voice lowered his voice and explained.

Count Gorgas said with great dissatisfaction: "Don't you want to put it aside for a while? Don't you think the Speaker is not annoying enough? Find a way to dry out those magicians. If they are impatient, they will leave on their own. If they complain to the Magic Guild, I will mention this to Mr. Miller."

"I know what to do, Lord Gorgas." There was clearly a sense of flattery in that voice.

When a man spoke in such a tone, I couldn't help but shiver all over.

"Very good." Gorgas' dull voice came to mind again, and he said to Morad: "Morad, why are you still standing here? Take your friends with me. Someone needs to arrange the dance. , since Princess Yingli left Haiyinsi, this is her first time back, we must leave a good impression on her. "

While I was talking, I saw Count Gorgas, who was wearing gorgeous clothes, leading Moras out of the room. He was talking as he walked without even looking this way.

Morad and a group of young nobles accompanied Count Gorgas. As they walked, they said, "Uncle Gorgas, didn't you say that Princess Le Die is the successor of the South Wind Army?"

It seems that everyone here has forgotten that Ying Li and I are sitting on the other side of the hall.

Hearing Morad's question, Count Gorgas glared at him and said in a deep voice: "Is this the reason to neglect Princess Yingli? Even if she is not the successor of the South Wind Army, don't forget, she is still The future commander-in-chief of the South Wind Army will be her biological sister..."

"Wait a minute, are you saying that Prince James's daughter is Princess Yingli?" Morad turned pale and asked in a low voice to Gorgas.

At this time, the group of people had already reached the gate of the guard camp. Count Gorgas stopped at the door, frowned at Morad, and asked, "What are you questioning?"

"Princess Yingli..." Morad glanced at us guiltily, his voice became even lower, and he asked: "Will someone also use this name?"

At this time, I heard Count Gorgas' dull voice coming from the door of the hall:

"Everyone in Haiyinsi City knows that Yingli and Ledie are the names given by Madam Manda in the Elvish language. Yingli means peace in the Elvish language, and Ledie means happiness in the Elvish language. What do you think of the Green Empire? Who else would have such a unique name?”
