My Magic Age

Surrounded by mountains, the entire fish lake is like a shining pearl on the territory of Sloit Province.

This is the opposite side of the lake shore far away from the battlefield. The two sides are completely separated by a lake several kilometers wide. The scouts who spread out like a barbarian's net did not extend the scope of their search here. Every plant, tree, flower and bird here is still enjoying the gifts given to them by nature. There is a towering oak forest on the shore of the lake. The forest is full of green trees, and some unknown blue wild fruits grow on some low shrubs.

I was squatting on the grass by the lake, looking at the giant oak tree nearly 100 meters high in front of me and worrying. There is a stone circle surrounded by cobblestones next to it. Inside the stone circle, a 'Fire Gathering Scroll' is constantly burning. Next to the red bonfire is a wooden shelf built with some simple branches. My clothes are hung on the shelf to dry. Above, a hint of water vapor is slowly evaporating.

Several white-scaled fish cut open from the back and strung on sharp wooden sticks. One end of those wooden sticks was stuck diagonally in the soil next to the campfire. The flames grilled the white-scale fish to a sizzling sound, and the oil kept dripping down. I turned around and used a small homemade brush to evenly apply the sauce. On top, the aroma immediately carries a salty flavor and drifts away on the wind.

Smelling this alluring aroma, I realized that I hadn't eaten anything all day, and I was really hungry at this moment.

In fact, I was just thinking about how to chop down those giant oak trees on the shore and drag them into the water. These huge logs, about two to three meters in diameter, are the ideal natural boats. As long as there is a way to send them to the other side, the human light cavalry trapped by the lake can escape with these giant trees. But I am weak alone. Even if I have the ability to cut down the oak trees, there is no way to drag these huge oak trees into the lake.

I thought of many ways, such as making the direction of the oak tree fall toward the shore of the lake when cutting it down. Before the oak falls, place a row of small logs and clean the branches of the oak, so that you can push the oak into the lake with less effort. Unfortunately, even so, I still can't push it. I think if there are a few at this time, Thunder Rhino would be just fine. Later, I even thought about finding a few boats, but after the barbarians ravaged the land in recent years, large areas of land were left idle.

Fish Lake belongs to the outer suburbs of El City. The residents who originally lived here were either captured by the hunting barbarians or were forced to relocate. There were some natural villages here more than ten years ago, but now as the residents continue to As the land migrates southward, the Yuhu Lake area has become inaccessible, and it is not easy to find a few fishing boats. Perhaps we can only rush back to El City, tell the news to the council, and let the big shots in El City find a way to rescue them. Maybe they already know...

I was wearing a pair of white shorts, squatting bare-chested by the fire pit and touching the linen shirt on the side. It was still slightly damp. I reached out and took out a grilled white-scale fish. I took a bite and it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The meat was extraordinarily textured. It's sweet, but the flavor of the sauce is a bit too much to cover up the delicious taste of the white scale fish. Putting too much flavor is sometimes not a good thing, this is the only drawback. But the victory is that the fire is controlled very well, which is due to the very balanced flame heat wave of the fire gathering scroll.

Just as I was feasting, a child wearing animal skins ran out of the oak forest. He squatted timidly under the oak tree, his messy hair unkempt, as if he had a bird's nest on his head. He swallowed quietly. I thought he must be a little hungry. Seeing that there was a lot of grilled fish left, I reached out and pulled out a skewer of grilled fish and handed it to him.

He was probably a kid from the surrounding village and I thought maybe he knew where to find the boat. At the beginning, Huangye KinamataPa Shipan panicRemnant and leechYicaifeng 銊⒆ SakuraFemale pheasant BU shallow 5 scratch Yanti⒚Waiting fishy Wei Wei The value of the product is higher than that of the previous one.

I didn't expect that he didn't know that grilled fish was hot. I looked at the direction where the boy disappeared with a bit of surprise, speechless for a moment.

I didn't expect that he was so timid and ran away. I was about to turn around when I suddenly found a child's head peeking out from behind the oak tree. The child was still looking at the grilled fish in my hand eagerly. I raised the grilled fish and said to him: "This is very hot, take it here!"

He looked at me blankly, as if he didn't understand. Suddenly I had an idea and tried to speak to him in Orcish again. This time his eyes were bright and he looked happy. It was obvious that he could understand the Orcish I spoke. He followed my instructions, carefully reached out and held it on the wooden stick, greedily smelled the aroma of the grilled fish, then looked at me eagerly, and started to eat hungrily.

"What's your name?" I sat next to him and saw that he was probably very hungry. He quickly ate the first grilled fish in almost no time. I quickly handed him the second one. And took the opportunity to ask him.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said two words in vague orc language: "Raccoon!"

"Is your home near here?" I asked quickly.

He took the grilled fish without hesitation, took a big bite on it, and then pointed to the wide fish lake, indicating to me that that was his home. I looked into the lake in surprise. Then asked him: "Do you live in the lake?"

He didn't say anything, just kept nodding, his mouth full of food, hesitating and not knowing what he was saying. His orc dialect was too strong, and he was chewing grilled fish in his mouth, so it was hard to tell what he was saying. But obviously after two grilled fish, he had already listed me as his good friend, and his wariness of me had completely disappeared.

"Are you an orc?" I asked again.

The child nodded, then pointed at me with some doubts, which obviously meant: "Aren't you one too?"

I turned my eyes a little guilty, looked at the grass beside me, and then said: "They say I have the blood of the orcs werewolf in my body, but I should be considered a human. My friend Qi Ge thinks that I am a new human with orc blood like her!"

His eyes became brighter, and then he wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, then pointed at himself with his finger and nodded to me fiercely. That means, "Then I am also a new human!"

He asked me for the third fish while pointing at the campfire. I hesitated. Even an adult would find it difficult to eat three such large white-scaled fish in a row. I was worried that he would be too full, so I said, "Are you sure you can still eat more and won't get a stomachache?"

He patted his stomach to show that it was okay.

The orc boy had a huge appetite. He ate five grilled fish in a row before he leaned against the oak tree and rolled his eyes. I was worried that he would get sick from eating, so I wanted him to do some exercise after eating. But no matter how I talked to him, he was like a lazy pig, humming and refusing to get up.

To be honest, his orc language was also very bad. Sometimes he didn't speak, but simply used actions and expressions, but I could understand what he wanted to express better. Once his orc language was mixed with his strong local accent, I had to figure it out for a long time before I could understand what he meant.

After eating, he sat with me under the tree and was in a daze. I looked at the oak tree and continued to think of ways to rescue the human army, while he sat with me. When I didn't speak, he was also very quiet and in a daze. At this time, I even imagined that there would be a Noah's Ark falling from the sky to save those desperate warriors.

I also tried to ask the raccoon if he knew where to find a big ship. But he also shook his head blankly and said he didn't know.

In fact, I didn't believe this, so I asked: "Didn't you say that your home is on the fish lake? How do you live on the fish lake without a boat?"

The orc boy didn't explain, and I didn't continue to ask. I thought of my own way, and he looked at the sunset in the distance.

The clothes were already dried. It was already near dusk. I hurriedly put on my clothes, picked up a magic waist bag from the ground beside me and tied it around my waist. I put the wolf tooth dagger back into the scabbard, packed my luggage and prepared to set off. I was a little annoyed that I had wasted half a day. Otherwise, I could at least rush back to El City before dawn. As long as I brought back the news here, maybe those warriors would still have some hope of survival.

I prepared my luggage and was about to turn around and say goodbye to the orc boy, but I found that a middle-aged man, or a middle-aged uncle, had appeared beside him. He was wearing a pair of gray cloth trousers and a white cotton shirt that was washed very clean. He was also very neat. The stubble on his face seemed to be shaved every day, and now it looked a little blue. His golden hair was tied into a ponytail. He and the boy sat on the rocks on the lakeshore and looked into the distance. The pale yellow sunset was about to sink into the mountains in the west in the smoke-like mist.

"Look, the scenery is so beautiful!" The man spoke fluent Imperial language, very standard, even with a little imperial accent. The Imperial language Qi Ge taught me has this flavor, always rapping on some special syllables.

I carefully looked at his profile at this time. He looked very manly. He didn't even turn his head to look at me, but I knew he was actually talking to me. I asked, "Who are you?"

The man smiled but didn't answer my question. He seemed to be talking to himself, saying, "There are many beautiful things in nature. We just find them. Many people call these beautiful things art, just like painting. It's just copying every beautiful moment. In fact, no beauty is eternal. Painters freeze those beauties on paper. We call them art and call them artists."

"Just like music, those beautiful melodies are the beats of nature. Musicians just select them. Those beautiful songs are art. We call singers artists. All beautiful things are what I pursue, so you can call me an artist!" The man finally talked about himself and introduced himself to me like this.

I thought to myself, is there anyone more shameless than you? Telling the other person that you are an artist as soon as you meet like a charlatan?

"…………"

I was a little speechless, and I didn't know how to respond decisively. In fact, I was ready to leave. I pondered for a moment and was about to say goodbye to the orc child. The middle-aged man suddenly turned his head, looked at me approvingly, nodded and said: "You are really the same as what the raccoon said, you are very good!"

What is going on! I was a little confused, but since I had made up my mind to return to El City, I couldn't hesitate any longer, and then waved to the raccoon beside me and said: "Raccoon, I'm leaving! I'm going home!"

"You really don't know me?" The middle-aged man was as surprised as if he had seen a new world.

I rolled my eyes upwards. I really had nothing to say about such an extreme narcissist. It seemed that he was very familiar with Tanuki, so that was good, so I turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

I jumped back and forth on the pebbles by the lake and ran straight into the distance.

The reason why I hide here for half a day is to avoid the barbarians who are chasing me. Whenever night comes, I will feel more secure. Even if I encounter barbarians at night, I will easily escape. .

At this time, a huge water ball suddenly appeared in front of me. It was obviously a water ball condensed with water magic power. This is the lakeside. It has a power bonus for water magicians. It looks like this ball is stronger than ordinary water balls. The much larger water polo must have been created by a magician.

"Water Gathering Technique!"

This water ball obviously blocked my way, but it didn't mean to hurt me. Otherwise, if such a huge water ball hit me, it would be enough to knock me into the lake.

I turned around and was surprised to see that the middle-aged man who boasted to me that he was a great artist was holding a magic wand in his hand. It looked like the water ball parked in front of my body belonged to him, his magic. The staff continued to draw a graceful arc in the air. I felt that his movements were deliberately very fancy, but the magic pattern he drew was very precise.

The water ball slowly unfolded in front of me and turned into a transparent water wall.

The meaning is very obvious. This guy doesn't want me to leave now, and he is a water magician. His ability to control the water system is far greater than that of Sister Guoguo before. At least, there is nothing that Sister Guoguo can do. Squeeze the water ball into a wall of water.

Then he said another word: "Ning!"

The entire wall of water instantly turned into a wall of ice, with a hint of cold breath, and suddenly fell in front of me. I felt nervous for no reason. I thought of the evil mage Montetroya. Isn't this a perverted mage?

But just looking at his proficiency in controlling the water element, you can tell that he is a very powerful water magician.

"Your grilled fish is so delicious. Obviously you must be someone who pursues beauty. Look at my work. My creativity this time came from the ice flowers on the glass window in winter morning... Look at me. The relief on the ice-facing wall..."

I was very speechless for the middle-aged man in front of me. I didn't expect that he spent countless mana in front of me and built an ice wall just to let me see the relief he made on it. But he can cast magic on it. When you are young, having the exquisite shape you want blended into magic is a miracle in itself, and the person who created this miracle happened to be a very unconventional magician. His ideal is to be an artist!

I was a little surprised to see the scenery of the entire fish lake carved on the ice wall. It seemed that he had made it temporarily. I didn't expect it to be so exquisite.

"You must be scared by my art! Haha."

He was a little proud, obviously not because of his superb magic, but because he could create reliefs on the ice wall. Then he said sadly: "I have been trying to carve by myself, and I don't want to use magic to create it." Such a beautiful relief, this sculpture obviously has no soul. Each cut of a perfect sculpture has its own profound meaning. After all, it is inferior to the one created by magic! "

I really didn’t want to hear him continue talking, so when I saw his magic ice sculpture, I reached out and took out a green apple from my pocket. I picked it from an apple tree halfway. It was a bit green, but It's sour, sweet, and crisp, and it's still very tasty to eat one occasionally.

At this time, I took out a green apple the size of my fist, and then took out a magic carving knife from my bag. I just followed the familiar scene in my memory and smoothly carved out a beautiful rose. I was so skilled. The action immediately stunned the middle-aged man.
