My Magic Age

The news about the orc tribes defeating the undead army on the Pai Plateau fell from the sky like snowflakes, making the winter of the Green Empire seem particularly unpeaceful.

The front page of the magic newspaper in the imperial capital was a photo of more than 20 orc warriors standing on a mountain of bones. The scenery in the photo was a little blurry. There were countless zombies and skeletons fighting with the orc warriors on the battlefield around. A lich king fell beside the pile of bones. The bone scepter in its hand was broken into two pieces. The soul fire in its eyes was completely extinguished. It looked up at the blue sky of the Pai Plateau with a blank look. Four huge stone pillars stood above the battlefield. The stone pillars were covered with various relief paintings, which looked like stone pillars in a sacrificial ceremony.

Behind this photo is a report about the orc warriors of Pai Plateau killing two lich kings in the Death Forest. It is said that this group of orc warriors who came out of the Beast God Temple in the Great Snow Mountain led the powerful orc warriors like a sharp knife, directly inserted into the Black Forest, and completely swallowed up the two undead armies.

The third article of the newspaper is the views of some lords on the invasion of the undead army into Pai Plateau. These lords loudly explained that the orcs had just recovered from the great famine and encountered the invasion of the undead army. However, this invasion of the undead army did not seem to be as large as the previous ones. The undead were beaten to pieces by the orc coalition before they even survived the long winter. Some lords believed that this was because the commander of the undead army underestimated the enemy, and some lords believed that this was because a new generation of talents emerged in the orc tribe. Some lords even thought that perhaps the dwarves joined the war against the undead army.

In short, the news of victory came from the Pai Plateau, and the residents of the entire imperial capital were cheering for it.

I didn't expect the victory of the orc tribe to come so quickly. I remember that the last time the orcs successfully blocked the undead army in the Death Forest was more than a month ago. A floating airship heading to the Pai Plateau just set off yesterday. The ship was full of hard leather armor with cotton lining and wheat flour. These were all materials prepared to directly support the front line of the Death Forest. The final destination of this magic airship was changed to the orc coalition camp on the battlefield ahead.

The magic seal workshop in Xinliu Valley is still printing holy silver crossbows. This kind of holy silver crossbow that can purify the soul fire is also specially made for orc warriors. Now it seems that there is no need to continue making it. The victory of the war makes the holy silver crossbows piled up in Xinliu Valley meaningless.

This is the fourth snowfall since the beginning of winter in the imperial capital. Marvin stood in front of the warehouse door, with an empty sleeve tied around his waist, holding a magic wand in his other hand, and his pale face hidden in the black hood. Seeing me coming from the door, he nodded slightly to me.

"What is it?" I asked Marvin.

"It is said to be a precious gift from the orc tribe. I don't know what it is exactly." After saying that, Marvin turned around and asked his assistant to push open the warehouse door.

Marvin and I looked at each other and walked into the warehouse full of various materials. Alia and Betty followed us. In addition to the finished products of various magic rune plates, the warehouse was also filled with boxes of rune plate base materials made of ordinary metal. As for other materials, they were placed in different areas. This warehouse was already full of neat shelves. Seeing that each shelf had clear labels, I had to secretly admire Betty for managing this place very well.

After walking a few dozen meters from the warehouse door, we stopped at a place full of imported goods from the Orc Tribe. A huge green tarpaulin covered the three-meter-high behemoth. The straw ropes from the Orc Tribe tightly tied the tarpaulin to the behemoth. I looked at Marvin suspiciously. Marvin shrugged and said to me: "This time, the magic airship brought back almost nothing else in order to transport this big guy. The letter sent from Guluding Town was just standard important supplies, but it didn't say what it was."

I took out my skinning knife, and Katarina suddenly appeared in front of me, stopped me with one hand, walked over alone, and cut the straw rope on the tarpaulin with a black dagger. As the straw ropes fell to the ground one by one, Marvin's two assistants stood on one side and struggled to pull the huge tarpaulin apart...

Four stone pillars with a diameter of two meters and a height of four meters stood in front of me. There were cloud-patterned disc-shaped bases under the four stone pillars. The whole stone pillar was surrounded by strange patterns composed of runes in various forms. Some looked like crying and laughing faces, and some looked like graffiti or simple drawings. The runes on the four stone pillars were very different. The runes of the four elements of water, wind, fire and earth were clearly carved on the stone pillars, and the top of the stone pillars was a smooth dome.

Marvin looked at the four giant stone pillars and couldn't help saying, "My God, that kid didn't say what was inside on the letter, Jijia, this...?"

"Betty, go find a copy of yesterday's magic newspaper."

Alia seemed to have thought of something and immediately told Betty beside her.

Just as Betty was about to turn around and leave, I said to everyone, "Don't guess, this is the totem stone pillar of the Orc Tribe. In the Orc Tribe, every Orc Shaman has a set of totem stone pillars."

"So, it must be an Orc Shaman who gave us... oh no, gave you a set of totem stone pillars?"

Marvin showed a look of disbelief.

I shook my head and stood in front of the four huge totem stone pillars. An indescribable heat surged in my heart. The heat poured into my heart. I even felt my breathing become very disordered. Waves of throbbing washed over my body. On the totem stone pillar in front, there were two beast characters clearly engraved: "Brother". I touched the two beast characters that almost merged with the surrounding runes, and suddenly the image of the arrogant orc boy emerged in my mind.

The orc boy who had been aspiring to become the orc king since childhood, probably has become the chieftain of a group now!

I calmed down my excitement and took out the four-series stone drum totem from the magic waist bag. The four stone drums kept rotating around my body, but in front of the four totem stone pillars, the four stone drum totems began to break continuously. Countless rock fragments broke out of the stone drum totems and scattered around my body. Unknowingly, an irregular gravel ring was formed under my feet.

As the stone drum totem slowly collapsed, the totem stone pillars in front of me were ignited by the power of elements. I felt some of the four-element power in my body spread out, like countless thin lines slowly wrapped around the four stone pillars, which gave me a subtle connection with the four stone pillars. This feeling was not felt on the stone drum totem. Every time my heart beat, it seemed that the runes on the four totem stone pillars, which were slightly emitting light, were also fluctuating.

For some reason, these four totem stone pillars were like an extension of my body. I could clearly feel the flow of the elemental power on the totem stone pillars. My magic perception could also extend outward from the four totem stone pillars. The moment I sacrificed the four-element stone drum totem, it seemed that I was destined to be closely connected with these four totem stone pillars.

As soon as I thought about it, I saw the cloud-patterned stone plate under one of the wind-type totem stone pillars suddenly glow. The next second, this huge wind-type totem stone pillar appeared in my sight. A wind circle surged out from the totem stone pillar. I looked down at the white air ring that appeared under my feet and tried to take a step forward. I didn't expect that I just took a light step, and it was as if there was an invisible air cushion under my feet to lift me up, allowing me to take a step more than two meters.

I looked at the other three totem stone pillars, and those three totem stone pillars disappeared in an instant. Under the surprised eyes of the people around, the three stone pillars stood around me.

"... This totem stone pillar given to you by the orcs is too exaggerated!" Marvin was pushed away by a group of white airflow for several meters, and kept screaming.

Then he asked me loudly: "How did you control the totem of the orc tribe?"

Obviously, these four totem stone pillars stimulated him.

Without answering Marvin's question, I looked at these four totem stone pillars that looked quite old. I suddenly felt a lingering spiritual force on the totem stone pillars, so I closed my eyes and entered my spiritual sea, feeling myself floating on the golden sea. In the world of my spiritual sea, four sky-supporting stone pillars appeared in the sea, standing in the golden sea, piercing the clouds.

I don't know why these four totem stone pillars always make me feel an extremely familiar atmosphere. If Kuz gave them to me, I think he should have written me a letter, but there was no other message on these four totem stone pillars except the word "brother" engraved on them.

When I opened my eyes again, my perception of magic elements was countless times sharper than before. I could even feel countless magic elements floating in the air like tiny particles. These magic elements were not static, just like the stars in the sky above my head, moving slowly in an imperceptible state. There was a storm-like magic vortex around my body, rotating around me. The tiny element particles in the air were sucked into the magic vortex the moment they came into contact with it.

I could also feel the fiery magic pool in Marvin's body, but there was no magic vortex around him like mine.

The world in my eyes suddenly changed, which made me feel unreal. I could even see a door in the mist in front of me. Although I had never seen that door, I had a feeling that behind that door was the elemental world parallel to our world. Scholar Sean once told me about this wonderful feeling, that is, when the affinity of magic elements reaches a critical value, the body will form a very wonderful commonality with a certain element of the outside world, and you can become an elemental body through a certain magic ritual.

When a magician has the ability to transform into an elemental body, the world in his eyes will be different. Not only will he be rejected by this world, but a door to the elemental world will appear in front of him. In fact, this is something that every second-turn magician must experience. Only when the magician enters the elemental world and signs a summoning magic contract with an elemental user in the elemental world, can he successfully complete the second-turn job transfer ceremony.

But what about me? What is this?

I am still only a level 13 magician, and I still have a long way to go before I can reach the second level. But at this moment, I used the power of the totem to make my elemental affinity break through the critical point, so the door to the elemental world appeared in front of me. I looked at the door to the elemental world in silence, trying to restrain the urge to push it open.

Scholar Sean told me that the elemental world is actually extremely dangerous.

I gradually withdrew my magic perception, and the world in front of me was slowly becoming real. The free elemental particles in the air and the door under the mist were gradually disappearing, and I slowly exhaled, as if after merging with the four totem stone pillars, how to manipulate the totem stone pillars was as natural as how to use my own hands.

Then I naturally put the four totem stone pillars into the magic waist bag, and only a large piece of tarpaulin and straw ropes were left on the open space of the warehouse.

Marvin stared, still looking for the four totem stone pillars around my body, and couldn't guess where they went for a while.

For most people in the Green Empire, the orc tribe of Pai Plateau was originally full of mystery, and the shaman witch doctors in the orc tribe were even more mysterious. Many people have never even heard of "totem".

If it weren't for the magic photo on the front page of the magic newspaper the day before yesterday, which vaguely showed the devastated scene after the war, more than 20 orc warriors, the Lich King who fell to the ground and lost his soul fire, and four very eye-catching stone pillars occupying 90% of the picture, I'm afraid Alia wouldn't let Betty find a newspaper.

I then opened a teleportation door, and the orc warriors and barbarians of Xinliu Valley lined up to walk out of the teleportation door. Without my instructions, they began to transport the materials in this warehouse to Xinliu Valley, and Marvin and I stood at the door of the warehouse.

After Marvin calmed down, he was silent for a long time before he looked up and said to me: "You provided them with a large number of holy silver crossbows... So these are the gifts from the shamans of the orc tribe to you in return? I think they can completely compensate us with the spoils captured from the undead army, or magic herbs, etc. There is no need to give out the most mysterious totem of the orc tribe! I don't understand why the orc shamans are willing to give out the mysterious totem as a gift?"

I glanced at Marvin and said, "Maybe the orcs on the Pai Plateau don't treat me as an outsider."

"Tsk~~" Marvin expressed considerable disdain for this...
