My Magic Age

A few of us were sitting on the roof of Prince Hit's house. The roof made of shells mixed with sand was very strong.

There is a small terrace built on the roof, which is small but very elegant.

Prince Hit's courtyard was on a high ground, so he had a wide view. He could see a group of Janna warriors walking past on the street not far ahead. They seemed to be in a hurry, pushing the Janna laborers transporting weapons to the side of the road.

Prince Hit stood on the roof and saw the commotion on the street in the distance, so he asked his servant: "Go and see, what happened?"

The Janna servant waiting outside the courtyard obviously didn't know the reason. When Prince Hit asked him, he ran to the street to inquire about the situation.

This is considered the industrial area of ​​Haiyuan City. Because it spans a river of magma, the geographical location is slightly remote. In addition, the metallurgical forging industry of the Janna people is not developed, so the magic light shield in this area is not very large. Here Most of the residents are Janna people who work in blacksmith workshops.

Before that, I didn’t know that I would meet Prince Hit in Abyss City, and I didn’t prepare any gifts. Prince Hit invited us to sit on the rooftop terrace, so I took the opportunity to take out some golden cider, a specialty of El City. Gave it to Prince Hit.

Sitting on a round stool made of a giant conch shell, Ying Li looked up at Prince Hit and asked him: "The Ambassador of Galle brought news of Princess Ariel's death, and gave me a piece of gold that she had given her in Afghanistan." The magic crystal left on Calais Island. I know that Janna people rarely get sick, and she is still so young. I want to know how she died? "

"You actually saw Ariel?" Hit said in surprise: "The royal family has been blocking this information, and no one is allowed to visit."

When the Janna people rest, they don't lie on the bed or sit on a chair. They are used to letting the huge fish tail lie in the huge shell, or sitting upright, or lying sideways, with one hand supporting the side of the face. , so that the body can relax.

Ying Li nodded and said: "I saw Ariel in the underground ice room of the palace. She was lying motionless in the coffin, with a calm face, no scars on her body, and her appearance could still remain the same as when she was alive. , Isn’t she the most beloved princess of the Endless Sea?”

I have seen the appearance of Princess Ariel in the image of the magic crystal. To me, her almost perfect appearance is more like the face of a celebrity who walked out of some hospitals in my past life memory. She is very beautiful. But it also makes people worry that that beauty will collapse at any time.

But I didn’t look at Ariel’s true appearance lying in the ice coffin. To me, she was just a dead mermaid.

Regarding Ying Li's question, Prince Hit thought seriously for a moment and let himself fall into deep memories. He said to us:

"I don't know exactly what happened. The last time I saw her was at her grand wedding three years ago. I remember that the seventh-term Lord of the Sea was riding in a gorgeous carriage pulled by eight sea dragons. He came to Abyss City with the Crown of Silence, the most precious treasure of the Seven Realms Sea. He is the youngest king of the Janna tribe. Many Janna mermaids went to the Seven Realms Sea alone just to see him. His marriage to Ariel was Treat it as a major event and record it on ancient stone tablets.”

Just listening to Hit's account, I felt that Ariel's wedding must be very luxurious. Then I thought about my own wedding to Yingli and Qige. It was so simple that there were no witnesses, no gorgeous carriages, and no expensive jewelry. There were no relatives and friends watching the ceremony, and there was no exquisite food. I feel ashamed just thinking about it.

Then I heard Prince Hit say:

"Since then, the most beautiful princess of the Janna Sea Tribe has become the queen loved by the Janna people in the Seven Seas. I heard that Ariel has been working hard to protect the living conditions of the Janna tribes near the outer sea in the past few years. She called on the Janna tribe on the edge of the sea to take up arms to resist the invasion of sea monsters. She once personally led the Royal Guards to hunt down the giant electric eels in the Sola Trench, and she also suffered some minor injuries. "

From what Prince Hit said, it seemed that Ariel had a high reputation among the Janna Sea Tribe and was also loved by the Janna people.

"So, Princess Ariel lived a wonderful life even in the Seven Realms Sea, not as miserable as we guessed." I sighed, somewhat envious of Ariel's rich life.

"Then what reason did she have to end her life?" Ying Li didn't understand this.

Prince Hit took out a piece of magic paper written in Janna language and put it on the table, and said: "The news coming from the Seven Realms Sea is said to be because of the relationship between Ariel and King Kazbin. There was a crisis, and King Kazbin recently had two new favorites, which caused Ariel to take some extreme actions.”

I picked up the magic paper casually. It seemed to be a newspaper similar to that of the Imperial Capital.

But I couldn't understand what was written on it at all. Justus, who was standing behind me, took the newspaper and read it very seriously.

The Janna Sea Clan is not monogamous. It is not unusual for a Janna King who rules a large sea area to have many wives.

"That's what the rumors say, but I don't really believe it." Prince Hit rubbed his forehead and said to us: "I have been thinking, will Ariel really die because of this? She is the endless The princess of the sea, the queen of the seven seas, she is a very proud person , it is impossible to be defeated by these things. According to her character, she will definitely get her own happiness back. She is the kind of person who has the courage to face any difficulties. As long as it is what she wants to do, she will be able to do it. Do it well, she’s a bit of a perfectionist.”

It's hard to talk about feelings, I thought to myself.

I remembered something and asked Prince Hit: "By the way, Prince Hit, do you know where Agalega Island is?"

Prince Hit frowned and did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned around and walked into the room. Then he took out a scroll and unfolded it on the roof floor.

It was a chart of the Endless Sea, which described the distribution of the Janna tribe in detail. He searched for a long time on this chart, and then there were some notes on the edge of the chart that were barely visible. Janna there The text is densely written.

Prince Hit asked me: "Do you want to go there? It generally refers to a coral reef archipelago close to the west coast of the eastern continent. It is far away from our Abyss City. It is a controversial sea area that was originally endless. The sea area of ​​​​the sea, where the Janna tribe later surrendered to the Lord of the Seventh Sea and became a vassal state of the Seventh Sea. "

He pointed at the area, then drew a large oval outside the map and said to us: "This is the Eastern Continent."

Then he pointed to the area to the south between the two and said: "This is the Sea of ​​Seven Realms. It is called the Sea of ​​Seven Realms because it borders seven lands. They are Roland Continent, Eastern Continent, and Kan. Duras and Xiansai, in addition to the sea of ​​seven realms are also connected The Endless Sea, the Frozen Sea and the Twin Sea are therefore called the Sea of ​​Seven Realms. We Janna people believe that the Sea of ​​Seven Realms is the center point of the main plane of Roland Continent, and the World Stone is hidden in the Seven Realms. A certain corner of the sea. It’s a pity that I don’t have a comprehensive map of the Roland continent.”

The common sense in the eyes of Prince Hit opened a door in my mind, allowing me to understand the general outline of the Roland continent. It turns out that this continent, which we imperial people call the main plane, actually has such a vast and vast world. .

I pointed to the edge of the map and said to Prince Hit: "Is this Agalega Island? Where did you fight against the Seventh Lord of the Sea, King Kazbin?"

Hearing my question, Prince Hit curled his lips, with a very disdainful look in his eyes, and said: "Who will start a war there? It is close to the eastern continent. No matter how many contradictions we Janna people have internally, we will not let those orcs Just stand aside and watch the show with the elves, we Janna people will not do such stupid things."

"So, could that be the birthplace of King Kazbin, the Seventh Lord of the Sea?" I asked again tentatively.

Hearing what I said, Prince Hit shook his head repeatedly and said, "How is that possible!"

"How could King Kazbin live in such a dangerous place? There is nothing to fight for in that sea area."

"Not only are there many islands around, but they are also close to the coastline of the Eastern Continent. Not only are they contested territory, but also are often visited by orcs from the Eastern Continent. As the crown prince of the Seven Seas, Kazbin cannot live in such a dangerous place. As far as I know, Kazbin has only left the Capital of the Seven Realms once, and that was when he married Ariel.”

When I heard Prince Hit say this, I said casually: "This is strange. Who do you think the person Ariel said could be?"

"What did she say?" Prince Hit asked me curiously.

The image in that magic crystal has been lingering in my mind. The lonely Janna mermaid sitting on the cliff is exactly like the Ariel I learned in the city of the abyss. Two different people, one is full of emotions, the other is full of rationality.

"Nothing, she just said that she had made an appointment with someone to go to Agalega Island to watch the sunset." I shook my head and said.

Who does Princess Ariel meet? If not King Kazbin, who else could it be?

Let us ponder the secrets about Princess Ariel.

Prince Hit sighed softly and said with emotion: "She was such a proud Janna person, but it's a pity that she died so early. Alas! Of our generation of Janna people, probably no one can surpass Ariely. Come on."

…

The city of Abyss seems to always have stars shining above its head, and those stars also come from the light rising from the top of the magic light shield.

The higher the magic light shield is, the higher the status of the Janna people living in it, and the buildings inside the magic light shield will be more exquisite. In the city of Abyss, the highest magic light shield inside is the Janna Palace. The king's palace.

Inside each magic light shield, there is a magic tower that provides light for the Janna people, and the tower is lit with a hot light group.

The lower the magic light shield, the fewer such magic towers are built.

Of course, the blacksmith workshop is a very special existence.

"Have you ever thought about leaving here?" Ying Li took the lead in breaking the silence between us and asked Prince Hit.

Prince Hit was lying in the shell with his fish tail hanging out. The shell looked like a big bathtub.

He said to Ying Li with a wry smile: "Where else can I go but here?"

"The Seven Realms Sea, the Frozen Sea, the Twin Seas, or the Grimm Empire?"

"Once you leave the Endless Sea without permission, you will be labeled a traitor and you will never be able to come back."

"The Janna people have fought a civil war for so many years. These green scales on their bodies are the mark of the Endless Sea royal family. No matter where you go, there are enemies hiding in the dark. You have to live in fear every day. It is even more impossible to go to the outer sea. There are countless high-level deep-sea monsters there. I am not a legendary strongman, so there is no way to survive there." Prince Hit said.

It seems that he has also considered this matter very specifically, otherwise he would not have said so much in a short time.

"You can go back to Green Imperial Capital with us. There is a beautiful Weiyang Lake there. You will like it." Ying Li invited him. Perhaps this is also what His Majesty Charles hopes for. After all, Prince Hit has the blood of the Janna royal family flowing in his body.

Prince Hitt was not interested in going to the capital of the Green Empire. He asked Ying Li, "What about the future? Will anyone be willing to marry a poor Prince of Gana instead of marrying an imperial girl?"

Ying Li didn't think much about it and said casually, "It depends on whether you like human girls more or Gana mermaids more..."

"Do I have any choice?" Prince Hitt asked meaningfully.

Ying Li said quickly, "Of course, many nobles in our Green Empire also like Gana mermaids very much. In fact, you don't have to live in the capital. You can live in the coastal cities of the Green Empire, such as Haiyinsi City, Ignas City, Qiyan Port City, Xinghai City... These cities are very beautiful, or you can go to the Vashqi plane to have a look. The entire plane is an endless sea with almost no land, just some islands."

Speaking of the Green Empire, Ying Li talked more.

Seeing Prince Hitt was a little moved, Ying Li said: "Leave here! Start a new life over there. No matter where you go, it will be much better than the current situation."

"We need to plan this matter carefully." Prince Hitt said hesitantly.

We have been chatting with Prince Hitt for a long time here. Ying Li pulled me up and said goodbye to Prince Hitt.

Before leaving, she said to Prince Hitt:

"Okay, but if you want to leave Haiyuan City, you can come to me at any time."

...

After leaving this blacksmith workshop, we walked on the street.

"Ji Jia, what kind of princess do you think Ariel is?" Ying Li asked, holding my hand.

Perhaps this is Haiyuan City, and no Janna people know us, so Ying Li is so bold.

She continued to say to me: "She seems to be a powerful Janna warrior, but the Janna wizard who is worshipping her on the high platform in the underground ice room seems to be her teacher..."

Ying Li has seen Ariel lying in the ice coffin, and probably has a very intuitive feeling about her. Just as Prince Hit said, Princess Ariel is a Janna warrior with extraordinary strength.

Since we mentioned the Janna wizard sitting in front of the skull crystal ball, this also makes us think of... So I said:

"So...she is also a Janna wizard?"
