My Magic Age

Kalancuo led 137 orc construct warriors into the tropical rain forest outside the city.

I took out a directional teleportation scroll from my magic waist bag, unfolded the teleportation scroll, and chanted a short spell, and a portal wrapped in electric arcs appeared in front of me.

The electric arcs emitted dazzling white light in the dark night and formed a light curtain.

I glanced at the bushes where Kalancuo disappeared, and without hesitation, I took Katarina across the portal and returned to the DC area of ​​Qiyan City.

The portals filled with electric arcs were particularly eye-catching at night. The portals that appeared in the DC area of ​​Qiyan City soon attracted the attention of the Knights of the Guard Battalion. Those knights wore iron armor like canned skins and rode Gubolai horses. They galloped on the open streets and passed by me and Katarina.

They didn't seem to want to interrogate us. They just checked the place where the portal appeared and found that there was no problem and no trace of the battle, so they didn't continue to pursue.

They patrolled in Qiyan City on horseback, looking majestic on such a moonlit night.

On the way back to Holien Hotel, Katarina and I didn't have the luxury to continue using the directional teleportation scroll. The stars in the night sky retreated, and the sky showed a fish belly white. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, we decided to walk back along the pedestrian street of the central avenue of the city.

The humidity in Qiyan City was relatively high in the morning, and the whole city was shrouded in a light mist.

The sky gradually brightened, but the fog in the city became thicker and thicker.

The night watchmen in the city turned off the street lights on every street in the city, and the citizens of Qiyan City began to go out one after another. In order to fill their stomachs, the poor had to leave their homes early and wait in advance at various recruitment places in the city.

Recently, the business of various workshops in Qiyan City has become increasingly sluggish, and the number of unemployed people in Qiyan City has gradually increased. The city is losing its former vitality.

The pedestrians on the street looked numb, and their eyes lingered in front of the street food stalls filled with morning mist, but few people really went up to buy, even a piece of the most ordinary fried potato cake.

The depression in the morning and the prosperity in the evening of Qiyan City made me feel as if I was in two different cities.

…

When the sun penetrated the mist, the whole city became bright.

We walked out of the Holien Hotel and came to the avenue in front of the Municipal Center Square.

Ying Li, Helena, and Becky took a magic caravan and went to the Governor's Mansion to visit the Archon Norman Marquis of Qiyan City. The minotaur Luka became their bodyguard and accompanied them all the way. The magic caravan drove away from the Holien Hotel. Helena's little hand stretched out of the window and waved back and forth, becoming crystal clear under the reflection of the sun.

Not long after the magic caravan that Ying Li was riding on left, another one drove up. Annie and Su pulled senior Erica onto the magic caravan. They planned to visit the place where Annie had lived and stroll around the St. Philia Cathedral in Qiyan City. I was worried that they would get into trouble, so I asked Justus to protect them.

When Catalina and I were waiting for the next magic caravan at the door of the hotel, some adventurers also walked out of the hotel. Some left the hotel in a hurry, while others walked leisurely along the corridor on the side of the street.  It's a good idea to have a good time

Many adventure groups make a living not simply by accepting client tasks, or hunting monsters and collecting herbs in the wild. They often mix these things together. When performing the client's tasks, they casually collect magic herbs, or when hunting monsters, they casually look at the mercenary association to see if there are any suitable tasks.

Qiyan City is a city full of adventurers, and the mercenary association here is also the most lively place in the city.

In contrast, the mercenary association in El City is pitifully small. The mercenary association in my memory is located on the street between the free market and the horse market in El City. It belongs to the slums in El City. There are some wandering orcs everywhere on that street. As long as you are willing to take out a piece of cake, you can let the group of orcs do some hard work like running errands or carrying bags.

In the morning, when the sun has not yet emerged from the clouds, many people gather outside the mercenary association in Qiyan City.

A vendor with a basket of fruit on his head passed by me. I reached in and took out two guavas, then threw a dozen copper coins into the copper pot hanging on his chest. The vendor turned around and knelt to greet me, and indicated that I could choose more fruits.

Street cake vendors also like to hold trays on their heads.

There is a kind of breakfast in Qiyan City that wraps various fruits and vegetables in a crispy cake, adds some mayonnaise and salt, and tastes sour and sweet, with a little salty taste. It is a little unfamiliar to us, but it is the favorite food of people in Qiyan City.

Six assassins disappeared strangely in the Holien Hotel last night, which did not affect the daily life of the guests in the hotel. The organization hiding in the dark probably needs to re-evaluate our strength. In any case, even if they will take action, they probably will not choose the Holien Hotel as the place of business, at least I think so.

"Magic Guild!"

I stood on the street, and the magic caravan stopped in front of me. I looked up and said to the coachman.

The coachman took off his melon-shaped hat and said to me respectfully: "You need to pay a silver coin, respected magician."

After that, he jumped down from his seat flexibly and helped us open the door.

When Catalina got on the carriage, his eyes also drifted to the carriage. When Catalina inadvertently glared at him, he woke up instantly as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head. He hurriedly got on the driver's seat, raised the whip and whipped the horse's buttocks. The magic carriage walked less than a hundred meters along the central avenue and turned into another road.

Pedestrians along the way avoided it, and the scenery on both sides of the street passed by my eyes.

…

The Magic Guild in Qiyan City is a five-story circular tower building, like many layers of birthday cakes.

In addition to the evenly distributed Roman columns on the outer corridor of the tower, the arched gate is carved with exquisite patterns. The flag of the Magic Guild is fluttering in the wind on the top of the tower. There is a flag on each top of the tower, which makes people feel dazzled from a distance.

The tower of the Magic Guild is far less magnificent than the Tower of Pride in the Imperial Capital, and its floor area is even less than one-tenth of that of the Tower of Pride. However, the exquisite reliefs on the Magic Tower are the most eye-catching part of the tower.

The people of the Green Empire like to carve epic scenes into buildings or make them into square statues for preservation.

The tower of the Magic Guild is next to the library of Qiyan City, covering an area of ​​less than one acre, and the top floor of the tower is only about one-third of the bottom floor.

The magic caravan stopped at the door of the Magic Guild. Katarina and I got off the magic caravan and just saw a large group of magicians walking into the magic tower in twos and threes.

Some people walked hurriedly, some held magic books and fruit salads in their hands, reading and eating while walking, and some whispered with their friends.

The magicians of the Magic Guild in Qiyan City are more like officials in the administrative departments of the Imperial Capital, just like those office workers who work from nine to five.

The magicians in the imperial capital rarely appear outside the magic tower so early and walk into the magic tower on time. The magicians in the imperial capital live more freely, without strict constraints. They often turn upside down day and night. Many magic scholars often appear in the office of the magic union after afternoon tea.

As for the lifestyle of the magic scholars in the imperial capital, it is even more casual. For example, scholar Yekis likes to hug Eve and sleep from morning to afternoon. He likes to study magic runes in the magic laboratory of the research institute at night. Of course, he did it to cater to my schedule, but now he has developed this bad habit of sleeping during the day and staying up late at night.

I reached out and wiped the magic badge on my chest. This is a silver magic badge symbolizing an intermediate magician, with golden magic patterns embedded on it. There is my exclusive magic mark under the badge. This can be said to be my professional certificate as a magician.

I followed the crowd into the Magic Guild. The guard at the door looked at me and Katarina. I thought he would come out to question me, and was thinking about how to deal with him. But I didn't expect that after a few glances, he would look at the people behind him and ignore us.

The circular hall on the first floor of the Magic Tower is very spacious. The magicians are scattered from here to various rooms in the Magic Tower. I stood in the hall and didn't know where to go.

Looking around, I saw the reception desk next to a waterfall background wall, so I took Katarina over.

Two young magic apprentices were chatting in low voices in front of the reception desk. I walked over and just heard them talking:

"...Didn't you go to a private auction last night? What good stuff did you buy? Show it to me."

"What else can I say! I had my eyes on a magic shield scroll, but it was snatched away by the ones in the potion department. They always buy magic items at a premium because they have a lot of money. They are so annoying."

"Who let them be assistants in the magic potion department? You know the current market of magic herbs. It keeps rising all day long. A bottle of spirit potion is sold at a sky-high price!"

The two magic assistants in front of the reception desk are pretty good-looking. When they saw me coming over, they stopped chatting and asked me with a smile: "Mage, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Ahem, is this where the registration of foreign magicians is done?" This is the first time I do these things, and I don't quite understand the process of the magic union.

"Um, Mr. Magician, it's in the Magic Public Officials' Information Room on the second floor. Are you not a local magician?" Perhaps because he heard that I didn't have a local accent, one of the magic assistants asked curiously.

"I'm from the imperial capital," I answered.

"If this is your first time here, I can take you to the information room," one of the magic assistants said immediately.

I didn't expect the magic assistants of the Magic Guild of Qiyan City to be so diligent. I originally only expected them to tell me how to get there, but I didn't expect one of the magic assistants to come out of the reception desk and lead the way in front of me, leading me directly to the Magic Public Officials' Information Room in the archive area on the second floor.

When magicians are training in the Green Empire, they will first look for the local magic guild when they arrive in a strange city, and then register their identities. This is mainly to record the whereabouts of the magicians. In principle, the local magic guild should provide security for all Green Empire magicians in the jurisdiction. Although it seems difficult to do this, it is also a disguised protection for the magician nobles.

The room was filled with large bookshelves, and rows of information were neatly placed on the bookshelves. The magic assistants in the reference room were sorting the information on the bookshelves. Only when they saw someone walking in did a young female magician walk from the bookshelf. He came over, sat at the table and asked us: "Mr. Magician, do you want to register your personal information?"

I sat down in front of the female magician and said, "Yes."

The magic assistant at the reception desk nodded slightly to me, turned around and walked out.

I took off the magic badge from my chest, handed it to the female magician, and then asked her, "Can I register on your behalf?"

Without raising her head, the female magician took my magic badge and copied the personal information on my magic badge into the sheepskin information book.

The female magician scratched the quill on the paper, making a rustling sound. When she stopped writing, she said to me: "Of course, you can, but you must provide their magic badge, and I will make a note behind their name." Can you put your name on it?”

"Okay, please register the personal information of these two magicians." I took out the magic badges of senior Ying Li and Erica and helped them register them in the data room.

Then I asked the female magician: "I would like to ask, can I check the information about my two friends here?"

The female magician finally raised her head, stared at me in shock, and refused: "This is not possible. Every magician's personal information is confidential. Only members of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group have such power. Do you want to To investigate your friend’s personal information registered here, you must obtain the consent of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Group.”

Then she was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so she added: "There have been a lot of people looking for information in this area recently. The Magic Guild's management of this area has become much stricter. We can only act according to the rules."

Hearing her say this, my heart sank and I had to say: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

She pushed the three magic badges in front of me, then sat up straight, pointed to the right, and said to me: "The headquarters of the Qiyan City Law Enforcement Corps is on the third floor. When you go out and turn right, you can see the stairs leading to the third floor. ”

After walking out of the Magic Public Information Room, Catalina and I looked at each other. It seemed that many other magicians in Qiyan City had also encountered this situation...
