My Magic Age

The next day we found out that a Thunder Rhino in the caravan missed the mark and fell to the edge of the cliff, accidentally breaking one of its legs. Now the entire mountain road was paralyzed. The several-ton Thunder Rhino could not be moved by humans at all. Gotta move.

Its three intact legs were not enough to support its huge body and the tens of tons of cargo it carried. It fell to the ground and could not get up again, because its organs had been broken by its own weight, and its mouth, eyes, nose, and mouth were all broken. Thick, sticky purple blood was flowing out of his ears. If he kept waiting like this, there would be no improvement.

Even Old Kuru couldn't cure the fallen Thunder Rhino. If there was any further delay, everyone might be trapped and die here. In desperation, he had no choice but to give up on the Thunder Rhino, and finally put all the damage on it to death. The goods are all unloaded.

It was Old Kuru who sang a sad orcish sacrificial hymn that comforted the soul so that it could return to the embrace of the beast god, and personally killed the Thunder Rhinoceros, which had tears streaming from its eyes and howled in pain.

This is somewhat sad for Old Kuru. You must know that it is very difficult to cultivate a domesticated Thunder Rhino. Each Thunder Rhino is a very precious asset to the orcs. Sometimes they are valued more than their family members. What's more important is that suddenly a Thunder Rhinoceros was abandoned like this, and Old Kuru couldn't think about it for a while.

I still read through the endless scrolls every day, and sometimes when I get tired, I just sit up and meditate.

Unless it is necessary to use anti-magic to clear the fire element from my body, I don't even use those magics. I practice several postures that Jonbach taught me continuously every day, and now I can maintain them for a long time. I look forward to him praising me when he sees that I can do such a good job.

Kuz seemed to be getting more and more silent, and always liked to sit beside me in a daze. He said that this place was not far from his home. I didn’t know what to say, so I sat with him on the back of Thunder Rhino. He crossed his legs with the soles of his feet facing each other, put his hands on his ankles, lowered his head silently, and his big furry ears drooped downwards.

I held my hands on my curled knees, curled up into a small ball, and looked up at the mysterious starry sky above my head. I wondered if there was my former home in this vast sea of ​​stars.

After twenty-seven days and nights, we finally walked out of this road of death, and finally stepped out of this narrow mountain road that we worried about whether it would roll into the mountain stream even when we were sleeping.

We didn’t encounter extreme snowstorms or the freezing rain that is most likely to occur in spring, nor did we encounter the unpredictable dragon hurricane in the valley. Just a small disaster, such as a road collapse or a landslide, would kill us, but here we are. The caravan finally came out successfully.

Looking around, it is no longer a narrow mountain road, but suddenly much more open. The narrowest point between the two mountain ranges is fifty or sixty meters away, and the valley here is flat, and there is a lot of purple moss growing on the ground. Go to a place full of life.

Dozens of Thunder Rhinoceros gathered in this open field. Everyone in the caravan stood on the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros, raising their hands high and letting out deafening cheers.

At this moment, everyone finally gave up the fear in their hearts. Everyone in the caravan spontaneously began to sing. It was a widely circulated folk song that praised the rich products of Roland Continent, the simple folk customs, the fearlessness of hardships and dangers, and the brave fight against demons. , low and melodious songs echoed in the valley, and the caravan flags fluttered in the cold wind.

Old Kuru pointed to the carving-like marks on the steep mountain walls on both sides and told us that this valley was once a glacier belt, and the steep mountain walls on both sides were carved into what they are now by huge glacial movements. The last glacier melted decades ago. If you want to see the glacier, you have to walk a hundred miles along the mountain stream into the deeper valley to see the largest glacier belt at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau.

These days, we have not seen any trace of gray dwarves, which also makes us think that maybe in the spring, we happened to catch up with the gray dwarves entering the Pai Plateau for hunting or other things. In short, they were like those in the caravan. The lifeless atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

At the slightly spacious entrance to the valley, not only does a large area of ​​purple moss grow, but also delicious wild vegetables such as purslane and trigonellae grow behind the large rocks. There are also some delicious wild vegetables growing further on the edge of the valley under the stone cliffs. In the vast bushes, some of the men in the caravan began to collect dry firewood to prepare dinner, while others unloaded the heavy supplies from Thunder Rhinoceros and began to set up tents.

One after another, covered cars drove out from the mountain road, and the faces of the girls in the dance troupe were reflected in every car window. Watching them hug each other and laugh with tears in their eyes, releasing the repression and resentment they had felt for a month. The fear of death, I think maybe the girls who have experienced these things will grow up a lot overnight, and these flowers in the greenhouse will have more insights into life.

The vanguard of the adventure group rushed to the next stop of the convoy non-stop. Just as I stood on the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros to carefully see if there was Sister Guoguo in the vanguard, I saw Tia riding a horse in a very fancy way. He turned over on his horse and waved to me. His thin face was covered with green stubble, but he seemed to be in good spirits. It turned out that he was in the scout team. Until the last horse disappeared from my sight, I still didn't see Sister Guoguo.

At this moment, I heard a familiar voice from under my feet: "Hey! What are you looking at? I haven't seen you in this month, and I feel like I'm growing taller again."

There was a youthful smile on that snow-white face. The moment I looked over, the corners of her mouth turned up and blossomed into a blooming begonia. Sister Guoguo had taken off her heavy leather armor and was only wearing a thick suit. She was wearing a long dress, with a large amount of snow-white exposed at the neckline. She stood at the feet of Thunder Rhinoceros and looked up at me. In the afternoon sun, her long chestnut hair was fluttering in the wind.

I jumped from the eight-meter-high Thunder Rhino without any hesitation, without any buffering. Sister Guoguo was dumbfounded. Long spells came out of her mouth, and the dazzling magic light shone between her slender fingers. The ball turned into a magic feather in an instant, floated to my feet and instantly grew to more than two meters long, directly catching my body firmly.

Before the magic feather could completely fall to the ground, I jumped off the magic feather like a monkey and jumped onto Sister Guoguo's body. I hooked my hands around her snow-white neck and hung in front of her. Shout: "Sister!"

"You little monkey, you scared me." Sister Guoguo put her hands on my armpits and lifted me half a circle in the air. Her long skirt spread out during the rotation, reflecting the beauty of her fair face. Inappropriate.

In the empire, ordinary civilians are still afraid of magicians. They all walked around the road as carefully as possible. Whenever they came near me, the men's laughter would subside a lot, and they would look at me carefully with strange and fearful eyes.

This made Sister Guoguo and I feel a little uncomfortable, so Sister Guoguo simply pulled me to a place with fewer people. Kuz hid behind and looked at me eagerly. I waved to him and asked him to come over. Kuz Only then did Zi cheer and follow us.

We were talking about the difference between civilians and magicians. Sister Guoguo was quite blunt. She told me that once you become a magician, you will automatically be named a noble of the empire and receive some rewards. Generally, junior magicians He is a third-class baron. Combat merit and level promotion can improve his title.

This also exactly explains why becoming a magician will lead to success in one step. In fact, the gap between civilians and magicians in big cities is not big. The difference is that magicians can receive monthly subsidies from the Imperial Treasury, and local governments It will give the awakened magicians among the common people good welfare benefits, such as free housing from the government, free access to the city library, priority when leaving the city, or farms and shops under the name of the magician only need to register Pay 50% business tax and so on.

Of course, there are also down-and-out magicians who are hired by some civilian businessmen. These are just a few examples. According to my understanding of what Sister Guoguo said, the special group of magicians is more like the high-level intellectuals such as university professors in the original world, and they are not particularly superior.

But why are these people in the caravan so afraid of magicians? No one would leave their hometown and go out for a few years to do this hard work without having to worry about food and clothing.

There are also three types of people in the caravan.

The highest category belongs to Master Leipas and his deputies, including the special old Kuru of course.

The second type of people are those who are only responsible for driving the Thunder Rhinoceros. They are hired by the big bosses behind the caravans at a huge cost.

The third type of talent is the deputies and caravan handymen. These people belong to a group of people without property who need to earn an industry for themselves, or are in exile, wanted, or homeless people without status. They are the ones who work from the bottom of their hearts. People who are afraid of magicians.

Because there is a special departmental jury in each city, many magicians will be invited to become executive officers. Their task is to hunt down the most vicious criminals in the city. The reason why the mysterious magicians are notorious is precisely because of the tribunal executives who despise money and power and only pursue justice and truth to eliminate all evil forces.

I curiously asked Sister Guoguo: "Sister, are you an executive officer?"

Sister Guoguo held my little hand and held my skirt with the other hand across the puddle on the ground. She stood up straight and brushed the messy hair scattered in front of her forehead. She put it behind her ears and then said: "When I was in the magic academy, when Being an executive officer has always been my ideal, and the salary is good. You can also accumulate merit, and there are many senior brothers and sisters in the institute, and you will get a lot of care. In addition, their uniforms are also very cool. But then I gave up. If I went there, there would be no other opportunities to make money. Self-discipline is execution The most basic rules for officials, but I need money. I also want to buy Su a pair of artificial prostheses from Oriana's boutique store. I have seen them. They have the same appearance and feel as real legs, and they have " Light Body Technique' and 'Elementary Wind Speed' The three magic arrays of "Elementary Agility" can also be inlaid with primary magic crystals. If you go back this time, you should be able to do it! Hehe, that is a giant two-headed mutant wind wolf. We dug out two magic crystals. The core is a dual-attribute magic core!”

Sister Guoguo was in a good mood. She took us outside the camp and sat down behind a large rock that was quiet and sheltered from the wind. Kuz and I picked up a lot of things scattered outside the bushes in the valley. Kurtz skillfully used the fire sickle to ignite a pile of dead leaves. The red flames mixed with green smoke engulfed the pile of dead leaves and ignited the shrub branches.

Kurtz skillfully set up the grill, and the three of them sat around the fire and began to talk about their experiences on this road to death. While chatting, we toasted the pancake until it was slightly browned, and shared it among the three of us while it was still hot.

Later, the flames gradually became smaller, and only a pile of red charcoal remained. Kuz finally took out a leg of lamb wrapped tightly in oil paper, tore off the wax-sealed oil paper, and slowly rotated the leg of lamb on the grill. Not long after, the leg of lamb was roasted to a golden brown, and oil began to drip continuously, sizzling in the charcoal fire. Kuz carefully brushed sauce and honey on the leg of lamb.

Sister Guoguo also exclaimed in surprise: "The news from the caravan said that there are two orc children who are the best at making delicious food. They have the secret recipe of the orcs, and the food they make is delicious. Are they talking about you?"

Kuz and I looked at each other, pointed at each other and said, "He made it all!"
