My Magic Age

Coming out of His Majesty Charles' study, I returned to the noisy ball led by the original court attendant.

The soft and soothing music slowly relaxed my tense and depressed mood. I walked back to the lounge area where Ying Li, Le Die and a group of princes and princesses from the Anqiboerde royal family were sitting. A group of princesses in gorgeous court dresses supported their hands on the railing on the second floor. Everyone crowded together and talked and laughed, and occasionally glanced across the dance floor, as if waiting for the invitation of the young nobles.

The princes gathered in twos and threes. Each of these princes was accompanied by a noble lady in gorgeous clothes. Some of them held high-foot glasses and talked in a low voice, and some gathered around the billiard table to compete in ball skills, and some leaned against the stair railings to search for the most beautiful figure in the dance floor. When I passed by them, there would always be someone who inadvertently looked at me, with curiosity, temptation, disgust, and a kind smile in their eyes.

Seeing me return with the palace servants, Helena pestered me to dance with her. I put one hand around her slender waist and looked for Ying Li.

At Helena's signal, I saw the Queen and Lady Manda sitting together and chatting in the center of the rest area not far away. A group of noble ladies were sitting around them. Ying Li and Le Die were standing behind Lady Manda obediently. When Ying Li saw me looking at her, she quickly waved to me quietly. It seemed that she would stay there with the Queen and Lady Manda for a while.

In the dance floor, some big men of the Green Empire were strolling with plump ladies.

Although Helena could not recognize the identities of all the big men, she also quietly introduced many dukes of wealthy families to me.

When Helena and I were spinning on the dance floor, some lords greeted me when they passed by, and they seemed to want to communicate with me.

As Alia had told me before, only by being summoned by His Majesty Charles could I be truly recognized by the Angelbould royal family. Perhaps only in this way would the lords of the imperial capital dare to establish private contact with me.

Not long after I walked out of the slightly dull study in the palace, it seemed that many people here knew that I had just met His Majesty Charles, so many unfamiliar faces gave me friendly eyes while dancing.

After the dance ended, some lords even came around to greet me, and some lords invited me to private dinners and dances.

Helena took my arm and squeezed out of the crowd with me.

At this time, Ying Li and Le Die had already slipped back from Madam Manda's side. Seeing Helena and I coming up from the dance floor, Ying Li curiously leaned over to my ear and asked me, "What did His Majesty talk to you about?"

"Nothing much. His Majesty Charles said that he had asked the Imperial Intelligence Agency to investigate me before, and that I owed you a grand wedding." I leaned back on the soft leather sofa and said to Ying Li beside me.

Ying Li's pretty face flushed slightly. She turned her head to look at the lively dance floor. She was about to speak but stopped, looking at my side with her big eyes.

Following Ying Li's gaze, I turned my head and saw a young nobleman standing beside me. He handed me an exquisite gold foil invitation and said to me with a smile: "Good evening! Marquis Giga, I am Patrick from Osorno County, Bena Province. If you have time this weekend, I hope you can come to a party."

I sat on the sofa, nodded to him slightly and took the invitation. My eyes fell on the Earl's medal on his chest, so I replied: "Hello, Count Patrick, thank you for your invitation. If I have time, I will definitely go."

Hearing what I said, the young earl crossed his hands on his chest and said to me: "Then I wish you a good night."

After that, the young earl named Patrick turned and left.

Ying Li looked at Patrick's back and asked me curiously: "When did you meet the nobles of Bena Province?"

I spread my hands and said: "I don't know him at all."

"Then why did he invite you to a private party?" Ying Li asked with some doubt.

In fact, I don't know, I can only vaguely say: "Maybe you can make friends with me, who knows!"

The music sounded again, and I saw Becky sitting next to me looking at me from time to time, with a face full of expectation.

I had to reach out my hand again, pull her up from her seat, and hug her into the dance floor. Becky's seaweed-colored long hair fell to her waist. Her waist was very energetic. When she danced, she almost stuck to me. I could clearly smell the faint scent of camellia at the end of her hair.

I saw a familiar face on the dance floor. The elf girl Tinuville was dancing with a young man dressed as a prince. The prince seemed to speak in a humorous way. The two talked and laughed. The elf girl danced lightly and wore a knee-length gauze skirt of the same style as Ledie. This skirt that can reveal half of the white calves and crystal sandals is an elf-style dance skirt. With a delicate face and blue eyes, I don't know how many young people on the field always looked at her from time to time.

As soon as the music ended, Ernestine found Becky and me from the dance floor and took me to her and Zach's circle of friends. Zach handed me and Becky two glasses of golden apple wine and introduced me to his group of friends. These nobles were all from wealthy noble families. One of them was actually a small lord who inherited the family business and owned an ordinary plane. There were thousands of private troops stationed on that plane. Fortunately, that plane had not been invaded by the dark forces for the time being.

Zach was only wearing a white silk shirt, with the button on the collar unbuttoned and the bow tie hanging beside him, revealing his strong chest muscles, but his light green skin reduced a lot of beauty. Zach's group of friends all looked like knights. Even if they were attending a ball, they would also wear decorative swords. They were talking about the Angela multi-plane war and how long it would take for His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charles to return to the imperial capital.

Some people think that once this batch of reinforcements officially enters the battlefield, they will surely defeat the Nakma people on the opposite side with overwhelming force. Others think that the Nakma people have been operating in the Ahn'Qirado plane for so long that they will not easily give up the territory they currently occupy. The Nakma warriors on the front line are likely to fight back and should be able to hold on for a while. The Constructed Knights of the Green Empire want to bite off this hard bone, which probably requires some effort. So if you continue to organize a support group now, maybe His Royal Highness Charles will not refuse.

There are always such a group of small lords in the imperial capital. They have some territories and a limited number of constructed knights. It is easy for these small lords to suppress the natives on a certain plane, but if they are asked to fight against the Nakma Legion of the dark forces, they may lose everything after only one battle, so many small lords dare not gamble before they are sure to win.

Now that the Anchirado plane is under the general trend, victory in the battle is almost within reach, so many small lords have their minds set on going to the Anchirado plane to get some benefits. There are also many such noble lords in Zach's circle of friends. They would not stand up to help when the Durva Legion was trapped in the quagmire of the war in the Yello plane, but now there are many people who want to take advantage of the fat meat of the Anchirado plane and take a bite.

So someone came to Zach at this time and talked about the situation in the Anchirado plane, saying that the Construct Knights in your hands are in a rest period, and the reorganized Knights still need some training and other things. Now that the battle of the Anchirado plane has started, why don't you go and get a share of it.

Although Zach is a rough-mannered knight from the Northwest, he has experienced some ups and downs recently. He is no longer as simple-minded as before. He often discusses with Ernestine before making a decision. It is estimated that the two of them have discussed the matter of Ahn'Qirado. Therefore, Zach has his own ideas. Some friends around him show no interest no matter how they talk about it.

He stood among the crowd, with a hint of laziness on his resolute face. He looked at me and said to me: "Jijia, what do you think of the battle on the Ahn'Qirado plane this time?"

"If I have a reorganized group of constructed knights, I will definitely fight with the past, but I don't have a reorganized group of constructed knights, so I won't go to the Ahn'Qirado plane." I sat next to Zach, took two glasses of golden apple wine from the tray in the waiter's hand, and put the empty glasses back on the tray.

Seeing me handing a cup of golden apple wine to Becky, Ernestine, who was sitting opposite, smiled at me and said, "Forget it. Even if you have ten Construct Knights, you will not interfere in the battle of Ahn'Qirajdo."

Zach rubbed his hands, looked around at the noble friends around him, and said to me, "Ji Jia, can you allocate some magic crossbow arrows to me recently?"

"Okay!" I answered readily.

"..."

Perhaps Zach had prepared some words, but I didn't expect that I agreed without hesitation, and all those words were not used.

Recently, most of the giant crossbow arrows produced by the Magic Seal Workshop were supplied to the logistics department of the South Wind Legion. Count Conrad had already transported these giant crossbow arrows to the Loki plane, and some were supplied to Louis Mensa. These giant crossbow arrows also followed Louis to the Ahn'Qirajdo plane. Although the Magic Seal Workshop currently produces a large number of giant crossbow arrows every day, there are actually no large orders at the moment. At this time, Zach happened to talk to me about this, and I naturally agreed readily.

I rubbed my forehead and said to Zach: "The price is still the same as before. When can I get the goods?"

Zach hesitated for a moment before saying: "Of course, the sooner the better."

I could tell that he asked me for the magic crossbow arrows this time because of these noble friends. Zach and Ernestine certainly didn't have the idea of ​​taking the Construct Knights into the Ahn'Qirajdo plane during this period, but the nobles around Zach seemed to be planning this.

I said calmly: "It's better to make a list for me so that I can send someone to prepare it. Then go to the Rune Workshop to pick up the goods this weekend. Remember to bring gold coins. The magic crystal has depreciated too fast recently. I have a lot of that stuff in my warehouse. I don't want it. If you must trade with magic crystals, then follow the exchange rate of one to four."

Seeing that I agreed, Zach seemed very happy and promised to use gold coins as the trading currency.

I thought this group of people only wanted to buy giant crossbow arrows, but I didn't expect Zach to continue: "Okay, Jijia, that... there are some items that need to be bought from you."

I rubbed my forehead speechlessly and asked Zach: "What else? You don't want to buy a bed crossbow, do you? I don't have that thing here."

"It's not a bed crossbow. I heard that you control the trade between the imperial capital and the orc tribe of Pai Plateau. I want to buy some primary magic herbs from Pai Plateau. It would be best if you can provide me with some of that magical kerosene." Zach said with some embarrassment.

I lowered my head and calculated, then said to Zach: "I can't provide you with that kerosene. Now the orc tribe is fighting with the undead tribe. Forget about that kind of strategic material. The orcs themselves don't have enough. For a long time in the future, there will probably be no corpse fire oil. As for magic herbs, I can provide some, but the transaction of magic herbs must be based on the market price of the previous day in the imperial capital magic market."

There are actually certain reasons why I agreed to provide magic herbs. First of all, the high-quality healing potions I currently provide to the South Wind Corps are made from high-level magic herbs on the nameless island. Marvin recently brought back a lot of primary magic herbs from the orc tribe, almost all of which are stored in the warehouse of Qige Trading Company. The current amount of this batch of primary magic herbs is already quite large.

In addition, I also have a herb garden in the circular valley of Xinliu Valley, and primary magic herbs are constantly produced there.

So I am not short of magic herbs recently, but I haven't found the time to find a suitable buyer for this batch of magic herbs recently. Now Zach has come forward to say that he wants to purchase a batch for his noble friends. I have nothing to refuse, so I agreed.

"No problem!" Seeing that I agreed immediately, Zack happily raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked it with me. The glass made a crisp sound in the air.

At this time, the group of young nobles around raised their wine glasses and drank the wine in the glasses excitedly.

The Harvest Festival dance ended in such a cheerful atmosphere. Ying Li and I left the floating royal city and walked out of the magic teleportation array. It was already past midnight.

There were many magic caravans parked on the lakeside avenue outside the magic teleportation array. Ying Li and I boarded the magic caravan and returned to the lakeside manor...
