My Magic Age

In my impression, most of the children in Ayr City are greedy. Although there is enough food in this world, children don't usually eat many snacks. In addition to some cold and hard cakes, there are only some fresh fruits and vegetables. The food in Ayr Town is always so monotonous and boring, beef, potato and tomato soup, black bread, and wheat cakes. Of course, many children in Ayr City have to eat a golden apple after the meal, but I don't like to eat this kind of golden apple with a strange taste.

The so-called golden apple is not an apple made of gold, but an apple that turns golden yellow after ripening. In fact, I don't think it tastes good. Golden apples that have not been frozen by the first snow always taste like wood pulp. Only after being frozen by a snow, the wood pulp taste of the golden apple itself is completely converted into sugar, and the golden apple will appear very sweet. Therefore, only in the north where fruits are scarce will people eat this kind of apple that is not delicious, but most apples are still used to make wine.

Children in Ayr City did not have chewing gum, peanuts, candy, fried chicken, French fries and fried fish, so when a can of luncheon meat from the Pai Plateau was brought to Ayr City by merchants, it immediately became popular in Ayr City. The flavor of spices and beef is perfectly combined together. Whether it is traveling or family dinner, this can of beef is very popular. When in the wild, this can is very convenient. Whether you put it directly on the fire to heat it up, or cut the thin iron sheet with a dagger and throw the whole box of beef into the soup pot and cook it with vegetables and oatmeal, it is very delicious.

Tin cans can also be used as simple tableware. The price of this canned beef is not expensive. One can only cost about 20 copper coins to buy in the market. However, because of its low price, it immediately became a hot commodity after entering the market. It was often out of stock. Especially since the establishment of the expeditionary army in Ayr City, those who were recruited into the team would try their best to buy a few canned beef boxes to take with them. This easy-to-store food is very convenient when paired with some black bread and wheat cakes.

Canned beef is also very popular in Staines College. Leon took out a can of canned beef, squatted down and stuffed it into my hand when others were not paying attention. In his opinion, a child of my age could not refuse the temptation of this delicious food, unless I had never eaten it. In the previous chat with Tracy, Leon was sure that the Ryant family had eaten this kind of cooked beef in a tin can, and Ryant and Tracy liked the taste of the spices in the beef very much. Tracy did not mention his brother's feelings about canned beef, but in Leon's opinion, which child in El City can resist the temptation of canned beef?

I was a little dazed, looking at the familiar words on the tin box, and sighed in my heart: This ultra-thin tinplate with anti-rust coating has been developed by the mining owner Horsens. It seems that he and Kuz have already extended their hunting knives to the millions of unicorns in the depths of the wilderness. I remembered my joke that such tin cans will be called luncheon meat in the future. I didn't expect that Kuz really named it luncheon meat. I didn't expect that this canned food has been sold to the Green Empire.

However, this canned luncheon meat is just a taste in my memory for me. Even if all the children in El City think it is an extremely delicious thing, it is just a familiar taste for me. I weighed the weight of the can, which was as heavy as a stone. I thought to myself: This is too heavy. If this can is thrown out, it will almost kill the passerby on the head. It seems that Hosent only made the appearance look good, and the processing technology of the can box still needs to be improved!

In the eyes of Ryant and Fanny, I am always the man standing on Tracy's left. And now, Tracy, who is in her rebellious period, is like a little wild horse that is difficult to tame. She needs her own living space, she also has her own ideas, she has her own understanding of beauty and ugliness, and she likes the stars on campus like other girls in the college, has her own secret crush, and has her own circle of friends.

But Tracy is different. She is the daughter of a fencing teacher. She is also a star in Stans College. Although she is not the most beautiful girl on campus, she is definitely a beautiful girl with both beauty and heroism. She has been influenced by her family since she was a child and is also a master of fencing. So in Leon's eyes, Tracy is a girlfriend worth dating. She is definitely ranked first among many girlfriends, and her position in Leon's heart is definitely at the front.

Tracy was now under Ryan's gaze, which was like a sharp sword. She looked a little unnatural and even a little uneasy. Yes, her lover at school was using a can of scarce and respectable canned food to bribe her future husband. Even if Leon thought he was doing it very secretly, it could not escape the eyes of Ryan and Tracy.

I also found it a little funny. I don't know what expression Leon would have if I accepted the can and knew my true identity. We were destined to be rivals, but when I faced Leon, whose lips were already covered with a layer of thick hair, I didn't have any hostility or anger. I was as calm as a passerby.

But Leon didn't know the connection, and in order to learn more technical secrets, he wanted to bribe me with a can of beef. In fact, now he has revealed his true intentions. He not only has his eyes on Tracy, but also the sword skills in Ryan's hands.

However, this time, the young man seemed to be a little inexperienced. The most miscalculated thing was that he really thought I was Tracy's brother. In his opinion, Ryan should give me all his tricks. He just wanted to learn more life-saving skills from me.

The can of beef kept turning over in my hand. Just when he thought he was close to success, Tracy couldn't help it anymore. She ran over and glared at me fiercely, snatched the luncheon meat from my hand, stuffed it into Leon's arms, and whispered to him, "He doesn't like beef!"

I know she was blaming me for my unclear attitude or in Tracy's imagination: I should be ashamed and angry, or carefully suppress my anger like a venomous snake, or simply be a coward and look pitiful, but I looked like an outsider watching a good show. On the contrary, Leon looked more like the fool who was kept in the dark, causing the prince charming in her heart to embarrass himself in front of Ryant. Ryant didn't like this young man with a greasy face, and now Leon lost more points in Ryant's mind.

Tracy knew that she didn't rely on her beautiful appearance, charming figure, and gentle personality to defeat her competitors in other grades. There were so many beautiful girls in the academy that they were like carp crossing the river. The reason why Leon, who had many admirers, looked up to Tracy was entirely because of his father, who was a swordsmanship teacher. The reason he was close to him was to let his father give him more advice.

But Tracy concealed the most important thing, that is, my existence. I am now deeply loved by Ryan and Fanny. Fanny wanted her daughter Tracy to be happy, so she cared about me very much. In Fanny's opinion, even if Tracy had any willfulness or temper, she would not be bullied by me in the future when she was with me. After all, I was a very sensible child. They were relieved and satisfied with me now. Mediocre, well-behaved, and introverted, these characteristics of mine are very suitable for Tracy in the future. At least in Ryan and Fanny's opinion, I am a very ideal candidate.

Because of this, as long as I stand between Leon and Tracy, Leon will never be liked by Ryan.

Tracy has learned how to be gentle like other girls on the campus of Staines. At least in front of Leon, she can always restrain her temper and be considerate to Leon. I have never seen Tracy speak so low and so slowly. In my eyes, Tracy is a female swordsman who always likes to hide her rapier behind her back. She is always so spirited when fighting.

The assembly call has begun at Staines College. Tracy has no privilege to not assemble, and obviously Leon can't either. They hurried to the assembly place, and I also want to find Ryan. I have to ask him what he thinks, whether to go home or follow them.

Perhaps only someone as thoughtful as Ryan can understand me a little bit. He leaned against a golden apple tree, looking a little tired. When I walked to him, he suddenly asked me, "Jia, will you blame me?"

This made me stunned. I didn't know why he had such an idea. I rolled my eyes and ignored him. Instead, I leaned against the golden apple tree with him, watching the students of Stas Academy lining up not far away. The corners of my mouth curved slightly upwards, and then I said to him, "Hate you for adopting me when I was alone, or hate you for wanting to marry your daughter to me? Are these the reasons why I hate you?"

"If Tracy were half as sensible as you!" Ryan said with emotion.

I smiled and said, "Then she is not our Tracy, is she? Fanny is still worried about me. Should I go back to Ayr City first?"

"Haha, I hope that life at Staines College can leave her with enough good memories. What I want to say is that when she does not stray too far from the alley, we let her go. Once she loses her way, we still have to help her. She is a kind-hearted child, but sometimes she is a little willful, but this is not wrong. If one day in the future, I am old, can you do this?" Ryant grinned and squinted his eyes to look at the mountains in the distance. He licked his dry lips, felt a little thirsty, and took out a sip of water from the kettle.

At this time, I suddenly found that there were already some wrinkles on his forehead. It seems that the barbarians sneaking into the province of Schloit this time touched him a lot.

I looked at the distant mountains, the lush old trees, pointed to the jungle that was like a green carpet and said to Ryan, "Now is a season for everything to grow wildly. We are so young that we cannot decide what to do in the future. We must be like these oak forests, with our roots deeply rooted in the mountains. We must protect the land that nurtures us. Each of us will continue to grow up slowly, and you and Fanny will also grow old slowly. Fate brought us together, and this is the only thing that cannot be changed. I will protect everything that belongs to me, because I have lost it before, so I know what to cherish, Ryan, I can do it!"

The mountain breeze blew slowly, and the leaves of the apple orchard rustled. The sun was shining brightly, and the gaps between the tender green leaves cast a dotted shadow on the grass in the forest. The two of us were silent for a while, and then Ryant said, "Follow me to see those barbarians. These northern barbarians always like to come here to plunder the miners. Whether they are adult men or young people, they are their hunting targets. They come almost every year. As northern warriors, we must learn how to deal with those barbarians. This is a rare opportunity. If it is in the cold winter, their strength will be higher than this season. Double, winter is their home ground, now in this season, they will just be trapped in the mountains and forests waiting to eat dust. "

I hesitated, then took a deep breath and said: "Those barbarians are natural hunters. Tracy and the others still need to grow up for a long time before they are qualified to fight against those big guys. Do you teachers at Stans School really dare to let these inexperienced college students face those barbarian warriors alone in the wild?"

Lian Te heard what I said, turned his head and looked at me deeply before saying: "Five years ago, when you first proposed to us to travel alone in this season, , Fanny and I were very worried because you were so young at that time. Fanny said to me directly, what's the difference between letting you go to the wild alone and killing you? So when we went out for the first time, I followed you secretly for a while. At that time, I saw that you were almost like a natural hunter. These mountains, waters, forests and rivers were your home. Until the end, I thought that if I followed you, I was destined to be discovered by you, so I quietly returned to El City. But from that day on, I knew that you were qualified to survive in the wild. Maybe different ups and downs in the fate will create different talents! "

I know that time , Ryant followed me all the way to the bank of the Benma River before he finally gave up tracking me and chose to return the same way. At that time, I could already attach the fire magic element of the "flame tongue weapon" to any medium. As long as it was within a hundred meters, before the magic power on those media disappeared, I could clearly feel any subtle movements of birds, beasts, fish and insects passing by the medium. I once heard Lao Kuru say that senior shamans have some powerful skills, one of which is called "boundary vision", which is a powerful magic that can rely on magic power to observe the situation several kilometers away. Although I don't have the powerful skills of the shamans, relying on my innate keen "magic perception", I am also able to feel the movements of some specific places within a hundred meters. So, I know that Ryant followed me last time.

The students of Stans College began to set off one after another. They lined up very neatly and no one in the team was talking, but these students always lacked something when they walked on the road. I couldn't tell what it was, but I could clearly feel that this was a group of rookies who were extremely inexperienced.

Ryant narrowed his eyes and looked at the teams that set off one after another, and continued: "If they are not allowed to come out, they will always be just some tender seedlings in a greenhouse. As for the field training held by the academy every year, they are only in the suburbs of El Town. Look at these suburbs, apart from these orchards full of golden apple trees, what else can there be? There is not even a decent beast. What can we expect these students to learn? Bringing them out this time is just to perform some simple tasks at the outermost part. Now there are at least nearly 200,000 human troops gathered on that battlefield, including the elite troops of the North Wind Cavalry Regiment. The senior officials in the academy just want these children to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield. They have no chance. Facing the barbarians alone!"

I sighed in my heart: This is another meaningless training. This is also the difference between the human empire and the orc tribe. Every child in the orc tribe will go out hunting for the first time at the age of seven or eight. They will go to the depths of the wilderness to hunt ordinary wild wolves accompanied by their fathers or brothers. When they are teenagers, they will try to go into the wilderness alone with some friends to hunt, which is something that human children can never do. In fact, when they are fourteen or fifteen years old, they have some combat skills and have learned a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild, but they still can't survive independently in the wild.

"Let's go, come with me to see those fierce barbarians. This is also a very rare opportunity!" Ryant said to me.

In Ryant's view, being able to contact these barbarians from the ice and snow tundra before graduation is a very rare and precious treasure for these students. Ryant even subconsciously thought that I was very lucky this time when I went out to travel. I didn't meet those barbarians, so I was able to return safely.

He actually didn't know that I had been dealing with those barbarians for several nights and had a simple understanding of their habits. Ryan wanted me to follow him, and he also wanted to broaden my horizons. He probably thought that I loved traveling in the wild, so it was rare to encounter such a good opportunity to experience the true strength of those barbarians, so he insisted that I follow him to the front line.

At this time, I suddenly thought of Tracy. When she knew that I was going to follow Ryan to the battlefield with the teachers and students of Stans College, I didn't know what kind of mood she would be in...
