My Magic Age

I reached out to the eaves outside the attic window sill with my hands, and climbed out of the window like a civet cat, lying on the red tiles of the roof in the afterglow of the setting sun. The tiles on the roof were baked hot by the scorching sun during the day, and the cool breeze in the evening gradually took away the heat on the tiles. It was just warm and very comfortable to lie on them at this time.

There were a few clouds with gold edges floating in the sky, and the light blue sky was getting darker little by little. The night watchmen in the city began to walk on the streets, carrying a simple ladder, lighting up the exquisite street lamps one by one, and adding some lamp oil to the street lamps from time to time. The lights were a little dim in the reflection of the windows of the shops on the street.

A middle-aged woman called out her child's name on the street. She didn't know where the playful child had run to, which made her a little impatient. Her steps were a little staggering. But behind the black cast iron street lamp pole not far away, a naughty child stuck out his butt, covered his mouth, and smiled like a crescent moon. He stared at the middle-aged woman intently, but he never came out of the shadow.

A red-haired girl appeared in Sister Guoguo's small yard. She was wearing a tight salamander leather armor with exquisite workmanship. The leather craftsman used the juice of flame grass to draw the dark pattern of mandala flowers on this leather armor, and used the overlapping edge technology to increase the thickness of each seam. Even if it was torn by a huge force, the leather armor would not crack at the seam.

She stayed in the chair under the lemon tree in the backyard for a while, and then pushed Su back to the house. She should be Annie, another sister of Sister Guoguo, but in the past five years, I can count the number of times I have seen her on one hand. Although I can often go to the small courtyard of Sister Guoguo's house and sit with Su for a while, Su rarely talks about Annie and Guoguo. Sometimes the two of us just sit there quietly. She reads a book, and I take out a piece of parchment and keep drawing various magic symbols and patterns on it.

Looking at the long red hair draped behind her head, the big waves are like a burning flame. Annie looked at me vigilantly. I knew that at this moment she found that I was looking at them. Even if I retracted my gaze, I would end up with a vulgar voyeuristic impression. It would be better to wave generously and say hello to Su under the lemon tree.

Su's eyesight is not very good, maybe because she hurt her eyes from reading for a long time. This is also the reason why I dared to lie on the roof to peek at her at dusk, and she couldn't notice it. But Annie's unexpected appearance made me surface. I simply sat up from the roof and said hello to them sisters.

Watching Annie push Su into the room, I lay back on the roof tiles.

Originally, when I had this kind of free time, I could run to the inner river bridge and sit on the steps under the bridge with Taylor and the others, watching the people coming and going on the bridge. At this time, there would always be some girls wearing cool clothes, showing their tender white breasts, walking back and forth on the stone bridge. The free time is often like a cup of golden apple wine, with a light taste, and there is always some sweet and sour aftertaste.

Two blurry figures were reflected on the glass window of the neighbor's attic. A strong arm with a blue flying snake tattoo was hugging a graceful and fair body, tightly pressed against the window glass, and the whole snow-white back was pressed against the window glass, showing a beautiful curve. Without a closer look, it must be that guy Bin, who was secretly hiding behind the curtains and making out with his new girlfriend.

I thought to myself that this guy was really courting death. His fiancée, Miss Kelly, was notorious on this street. We all affectionately called Miss Kelly Dali. Her family ran a butcher shop at the third last house at the end of the alley. Her father was a leatherworker who made a living by selling meat. It was said that he had a very bad temper. Dali was very similar to her father in this respect. Fanny told me about Dali's childhood story. She said that when she was eight years old, she saw Bin being bullied by children on the street. Those children chased Bin with sticks and beat him violently. At that time, Dali directly pulled out a bone-cutting knife from the shop and almost castrated those children with the knife.

Since then, Bin began to pursue Dali crazily. Finally, after he returned from serving in the Northern Corps, the two quickly got engaged. But the woman in the window at this time must not be Dali. Dali's skin was not so white. I was really worried about Bin. If Dali found out, with her bad temper, I don't know how Bin would be punished?

In such a cool and windless evening, lying on the warm roof tiles, closing my eyes and feeling the free magic elements in the air around me, those fire and water elements floating in the air occasionally stick to my skin, fly into my hair, melt into my skin through my pores, and flow through my body through my blood. Some of them will stop at various nodes in my body. This is my original way of condensing magic power, but many nodes can't gather too much magic power. How much magic power can be retained in the nodes has a lot to do with my body's magic resistance and element affinity. Now my magic resistance and element affinity are very low, so I can't retain too much magic power. There will also be some wind and thunder magic power, which will slowly deposit on the shoulder blades behind my back. The two fan-shaped bones are now like batteries filled with energy. If they were not wrapped in my own flesh and blood, I believe they would even glow.

If before today, even if I had super keen magical perception, I would never feel such a subtle microscopic world. But when the magic door in my body was pushed open, I found that I could actually feel the free magic elements in the air. When meditating, I could also detect the subtle situation of those subtle magic forces entering my body. Those remaining magic elements were all sucked into the body by the magic vortex formed in the lower abdomen and gathered into the deep vortex. The vortex swallowed up any magic power approaching it like a bottomless pit.

I have read many magic books, and the magic sheepskin scrolls of the orcs have also explained some human magic, especially the awakening of the magic pool, the biggest secret of human mages, which has always been the focus of research for the orc shamans. Although the orc great shamans have not yet cracked why humans have magic pools, they are quite familiar with magic pools.

For human magicians, the magic pool in the lower abdomen is like a pool of magic spring water in the body. Usually, magic power is gathered from all parts of the body and collected in the magic pool. When magicians chant magic spells, it is the time to release these magic powers. Many classics describe the magic power in the body of human magicians as a pool of water. This is what I am most confused about. Although I awakened the magic pool today, I don’t think it is a magic pool, but a very strange magic vortex. This magic vortex is absorbing magic power from the outside world all the time. It will not only restore magic power when I meditate. Of course, the effect of restoring magic power during meditation is better, but in normal state, I can still clearly feel that my body is constantly absorbing mana from the outside world.

After having this terrifying magic pool, I think the "heating" skill taught to me by the old Kuru will probably never be upgraded in the future, because I can’t always keep my magic pool in a state of exhaustion. After having the magic pool, every time the magic pool in my body is exhausted, it will seriously damage my mental power.

I casually drew a magic pattern array in the air with my fingers. The "flame tongue weapon" that was originally easy to cast failed strangely. I looked at the magic power spreading in the air with some surprise, and I couldn't figure out the reason for a while. I continued to draw a simpler "anti-magic" again. The anti-magic aura surrounded my feet and disappeared after a moment. There was a strange feeling in my body, which was also a state I had never experienced before. Although I didn't make any attempts, I could clearly feel that my body's magic resistance was much higher than before, which meant that the power of the "anti-magic" I cast now was more than one level higher.

I couldn't understand why the next "shadow cloak" also failed. This skill is the foundation of my life. I have relied on it to survive countless dangers. This magic skill once became uninterrupted after casting because of deep meditation. Since then, I rarely failed to cast the "shadow cloak". I didn't expect that those complicated magic spells and runes today didn't allow me to successfully release the shadow cloak. I was a little panicked for a while. I was thinking: Is this the price of awakening the magic pool?

Suddenly, a picture emerged in my spiritual sea. The picture was a passage that Old Kuru warned me when he taught me in the wilderness. At that time, he told me that he would teach me some common magic in the next period of time. He said that these magics did not belong to the beast tribe, nor did they belong to the magic knowledge of the human world. Then he taught me magic skills such as "anti-magic", "heating", "shadow cloak", "flame tongue weapon", "walking on water", etc. one by one. These magic skills once allowed me to defeat many enemies in the northern foothills wilderness.

But now, after I awakened the magic pool, these skills can't be used, and I'm a little frustrated.

I reached out and took the tiger eye stone drum from my waist, and tried to send a ball of fire element into it again. The result was very disappointing. The tiger eye stone drum did not react at all, just like sending the magic power into the stone.

What is the reason?

Why did these universal magics that were once prosperous disappear later, and even gradually disappeared in the dust of history, gradually losing their inheritance. What is the reason for the loss of these magics? Moreover, before the awakening of the magic pool, I could barely use the simple magic of the beast tribe, but now I can't even use the most basic stone drum totem. What is going on?

This is also sad for the shaman elders of the beast tribe who are responsible for managing these stone drum totems. They don't care much about the stone drum totems in the warehouse. They have also mentioned that these stone drum totems are of no use to human magicians.

I began to circulate the magic in my body, and then I realized that every time I circulated my magic power, I would naturally draw magical power from the magic vortex. I slapped my head hard, and thought to myself: Why am I so stupid? Old Kuru had clearly warned me that these magic skills cannot be used by mages who have awakened the magic pool. Why did I forget this?

I tried to give up using the magic power in the magic vortex when releasing magic skills, and instead absorbed the magic power from various nodes in the body. But it's a bit difficult for me. I collect the magic power hidden in the nodes in my body little by little. Sometimes if I don't pay attention, some magic power emanating from the magic pool will be mixed in, and then without exception Casting failed.

I started to be irritated. These inexplicable irritations came from the extreme panic in my inner world. I started to panic. After losing the magic barrier, I felt like a weak chicken. I even wanted to hide in Ryan's liquor store at this moment. In the basement. I messed up my hair a little frantically, my throat was a little dry, and I swallowed hard. I looked for a glass of water to drink but found myself still lying on the tiles of the roof.

I accidentally loosened a tile, and some of the Sanhe soil connected between the tiles came loose and rolled under the eaves, making a messy and shattering sound. It also alarmed the intimate couple next to the window next door. , the girl didn’t expect that there would be someone watching the silent movie they were playing on the roof opposite, so she hid her hands behind the curtains. Bin pushed open the glass window with his upper body up, stuck his head out and looked around. When he saw it was me, he said to me calmly: "Hey, Jijia, why don't you go to your god-sister for milk?" Drink, hide on the roof and secretly watch something, Tracy’s little girl must taste good, don’t let others get there first, and you will marry a second-hand product!”

Bing is a mean person. He knows very well that there is no harmony between Tracy and I. He is even considered a member of Tracy's small camp, but it doesn't look like what I think. He is not Tracy's. My friend, I guess the reason why he can be so sarcastic towards me actually comes from Leon. He should be Leon's friend, otherwise there would be no reason to say such mean and mean words to me in this situation.

I looked up at the sky with an expressionless face. In the evening sky, a faint purple appeared against the flaming clouds. I said to myself: "It might rain, Bin, you have to remember to pay attention." Nice window!”

Bing's idea at this time was actually to cause trouble. He wanted to use his hands to fix me. Bing was much older than Tracy. He always thought I was a young boy who could knock me down with just one hand. If I showed even the slightest hint of displeasure, he would have a reason to attack me. But I happened to say something very elusive, "It's going to rain!"

In fact, the relationship between Lent and Bin's father is very good. There is an iron wire connecting the small attic of our two families. Normally, this iron wire is used to dry clothes, but at this time, it becomes a medium for conducting lightning. I will I stepped on the wire, and then I concentrated on melting the frozen ice in the sea of ​​spirit. A silver arc quickly sprang out from my body and ran out along the thin wire.

He looked at me with some confusion, but I smiled and said to him: "When you are a dog, you must remember to have fun in front of your master. No one can see it now. Who can you show your loyalty to by showing your loyalty like this?" ! When you are a human being, you must not have such a bad mouth, otherwise you may be struck by lightning!"

Before I could finish my words, Bin, who was naked, screamed, and his whole body felt like it was about to explode. He fell on his back, covered in darkness, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Seeing that something was not going well, I quickly crawled back into the attic. At this time, there was a noisy sound in the attic of the neighbor's house next door. I secretly pursed my lips and smiled, and felt an indescribable feeling of relief in my heart. Of course, the young man named Bin will not be in any danger, but he will definitely suffer some hardships, I thought.

Just as I got in from the attic window, I saw Tracy sitting at the wooden table next to the window, supporting her chin with one hand, and looking out the window attentively. Obviously she did not expect that I would suddenly return to the attic. , happened to see her peeking at me.

Tracy stood up slowly and walked out of my room. Just when she was about to reach the door, she turned to me and said, "Congratulations, you have become a magician!"

I think this may be the gentlest side of Tracy! She actually didn't want to question Bin, but directly opened the wooden door of the attic and walked out with light steps!
