My Magic Age

Hearing about the things on the main peak, we all felt depressed for a while. After hearing that the main peak had more abundant resources, the original joy of harvesting disappeared. I silently treated the wounded elite members, and their mood became worse. When I treated their wounds, they didn't even smile. All the knight etiquette was thrown out of the window because of the bad mood. Even if someone moved the corners of their mouths and wanted to smile to express their gratitude, those smiles were so far-fetched. This trip to the main peak was too traumatic for them. They originally thought that they were the best in all the colleges in El City, but when they really walked out of El City, they found that they were far behind their peers.

Some people sat on the rocks and felt wronged and wanted to cry. Their confidence was ruthlessly crushed for the first time. I don’t know how long it will take to build up their confidence again.

After treating the last wounded person, I got into Ying Li’s tent and sat down opposite her. Ying Li was reading a potion book. She didn't expect that she would carry some books in her magic waist bag when she entered Xinliu Valley for adventure. She looked up at me and stopped reading. She closed the thick magic parchment book, then slowly picked up the teapot and poured me a cup of hot tea.

"Are there really that many differences between us?" I asked Ying Li.

Seeing the miserable situation of the elite group, I finally understood that she had been stopping me because she was really worried that after I passed through the one-way portal, I would be visited by the noble children of Xinghai Academy. Maybe the young man named Nelson behaved very gentlemanly in front of Ying Li, but he would definitely not have any good face for me. Maybe he was in a corner of the main peak, quietly waiting for me to appear, waiting to knock me to the ground with a shot.

Ying Li blinked, thought about it seriously, nodded without hesitation, and said directly and frankly: "It's really a big difference!"

I was a little surprised and laughed as I leaned close to her round and smooth earlobe, and said indignantly in her ear: "You are really direct!"

Ying Li held my hand tightly, smiled at me and said: "Ji Jia, you make me a little embarrassed, do you want to hear me say something to comfort you?"

"What is the difference between us? That you are so nervous about me crossing the portal?" I couldn't help feeling a little unconvinced, and asked Ying Li like this just to let her explain clearly.

Ying Li talked to me about Le Die: "The difference between you is a whole level. Le Die is actually a real knight. Like the dozen nobles of Xinghai Academy, they must have obtained the warrior qualification certificate and have a high-quality mount. No knight apprentice or warrior apprentice can tame such a ferocious mount. As for their chance to enter Xinliu Valley, I guess it is because of the sealer of Xinghai City. His ability can seal the current level of warriors or magicians, so Le Die can enter Xinliu Valley as a fifth-level knight apprentice, but after all, only some of her abilities are sealed. In fact, she is still a formal knight."

I didn't expect it to be like this. The difference in strength between us is really quite big!

The rescue team did not step into the one-way portal in the end. Everyone just waited quietly beside the one-way portal, expecting Captain Abu to appear with Thomas and Swift as scheduled. Everyone seemed very heavy-hearted.

On the afternoon of the fourteenth day, Swift, Thomas, Abu and other seven members of the elite expedition team returned safely with gloomy faces. Swift saw me in the crowd and looked gloomy. He didn't know what to say for a while. Thomas was hit by the failure of the operation one after another. He looked a little depressed and followed the team dejectedly. He had led his team into Xinliu Valley with full confidence, but he didn't expect that the final harvest would not even be as good as that of an ordinary expedition team.

It took us nearly a day to return to the mountain rock gathering place.

At this time, a time and space portal was opened on the flat rock at the top of the mountain rock gathering place. Marvin was directing some students from the college to transport the magic herbs and copper ore stored in the mountain rock gathering place, and the piles of resources were transported back to Schroit City in an orderly manner. Our large army returned as scheduled, which made the members who were waiting for our news in the mountain rock gathering place feel relieved. Teams of expedition team members crossed the portal, and the joy on their faces was indescribable. They could finally go home.

Hank saw me returning with the main group, and waved to me from a high pile of ore.

God knows how much copper and copper ore they have exchanged from the goblins in the underground world these days. Theresa, the female magic apprentice of Hank's team, is now the most eye-catching. Behind her has been standing silently a rock golem. It seems that Theresa is going to take it back. I am a little worried whether our portal can accommodate such a huge body.

Marvin came over and said to me: "Give me another three hours, and I will be sure to transport all the supplies back to Sloyte!"

I asked Marvin curiously: "How did you convince those students to help you move the supplies?"

"It's very simple. I just told them that if they help me move ten bags of magic herbs to the other side of the portal, I will give them an extra bag of ordinary magic herbs as a reward!" Marvin said to me proudly.

As our goods were transported away bit by bit, the members of the elite expedition team looked at the mountains of supplies on the site and were a little confused for a while.

Many people don't understand why a large amount of magic metal ores appeared in the rock gathering place in just a few days.

It was in such a very low mood that we returned to the ivory tower of the Magic Guild of Sloyte City through the portal. Teacher Flanders, the instructor of the Fire Magic Class, was waiting at the door of the portal and began to greet the students who returned safely. Seeing the empty sleeve on Marvin's left shoulder, he patted his shoulder comfortingly and comforted him, saying, "It's good to come back safely, it's good to be able to come back!"

The number of casualties was then sorted out and handed over to the leader teacher Flanders. Flanders, who was irritable, was furious. A total of 16 students stayed in Xinliu Valley forever and failed to come back with us. The expressions on the faces of the leaders were also quite solemn. This Xinliu Valley expedition was the one with the largest number of casualties. Although it was expected in advance, it was still difficult to accept at this moment.

In fact, the advice of Lou Ange, the magician of the Benma Academy, was completely useless. Our team members of the War Academy did not enter the main peak at all, let alone compete with the expedition team of the Benma Academy for the rare magic herbs on the main peak. We only collected a small amount of golden needle grass and magic emperor grass in the floating broken mountain belonging to the War Academy. We did not collect much of the main magic herbs for making the lion potion and spirit potion.

What made the team leader teachers feel relieved was that we brought back a large number of low-level magic herbs, which showed that we had been working very hard to find resources in Xinliu Valley, and even the lowest-level magic pool herbs were not spared.

These low-level magic herbs were piled up at the entrance of the portal, but they were not more valuable than a few simple golden needle grasses. Obviously, there were a lot of them, but as the students gradually walked out of the portal, Teacher Flanders' face became more and more ugly.

At the teleportation gate not far away, Lou Ange, who had made a bet with Teacher Flanders, looked at Flanders with a smile. Some rare magic herbs were neatly placed in front of him. According to the estimated value, these rare magic herbs were much more expensive than ordinary herbs. He only needed to pick out four or five rare magic herbs in good condition from these rare magic herbs, and the value of them would be much higher than the value of the whole pile of ordinary magic herbs.

Lou Ange seemed very proud. After watching the students step out of the teleportation gate, they handed over their harvests in full, and then registered them one by one in the leader's account book. Lou Ange praised almost every student and asked them to go to the dormitory to rest. Then, he said to Teacher Flanders from a distance: "Brother, the group of students there really collected ordinary magic herbs as treasures!"

Then Lou Ange laughed proudly to himself, and the sharp laughter made the great magician who was responsible for opening the teleportation channel in the teleportation hall on the ivory tower frown.

But then, the copper ores were sent back from the other side of the portal one after another. The amount was so large that Teacher Flanders could not remain calm. Such a large amount of copper ores could not be dug out overnight. Moreover, when setting the rarity, rare ores are more valuable than rare magic herbs, because the ores need to be dug into the veins, which requires a lot of time and physical strength. Therefore, in the list, magic copper is introduced as being rarer than golden needle grass and magic emperor grass.

Seeing a large amount of copper ores being transported out from the portal, Teacher Flanders seemed particularly excited and couldn't help but grin and laugh.

Marvin stayed to check the magic materials in the account books with the leader teacher. He has always been a very careful person, and the records in his account books are very detailed. There are many places that only need to be re-annotated and can be borrowed completely.

I dumped all the saber-tooth tiger skins, tiger teeth and magic cores collected in the two magic backpacks on the ground. Flanders picked up the huge fur and teeth of the saber-tooth tiger king, looked through them casually, and nodded to me. It seems that he is very satisfied with my harvest. I did not take out the obsidian spindle to hand it in. The school regulations only require that all magic materials obtained in Xinliu Valley be handed in and distributed uniformly.

This priceless spindle was played as a side ball, and I was hung on my waist and wrapped in linen, so I got away with it.

In fact, Teacher Flanders also turned a blind eye to this, and did not ask the students to hand in all the materials. Some small things were taken away by the students, and the school was very accommodating. But Teacher Flanders did not expect that the value of the spindle I took out was actually difficult to estimate.

Then Ying Li and I followed everyone and returned to the dormitory to rest. These days of tossing day and night, my body has long been unable to bear it. The warm and soft big bed in the dormitory was incomparably comfortable for us students who had lived in tents for half a month.

When Theresa brought the tall rock golem back to the teleportation hall of the ivory tower, even all the team leaders here were shocked. It was incredible that a magic apprentice had signed a contract with an elemental construct creature in Xinliu Valley.

At this time, Lou Ange's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a black iron pot, and he didn't say anything.

The Galloping Horse Academy had the best time and the best location, and the harvest was rich. However, the copper ore collected by the War Academy was indeed very heavy. Compared with the rare magic herbs of the Galloping Horse Academy, the magic copper ore had a certain advantage. It didn't take too much to match the rare magic herbs. Then, Teacher Flanders held his breath because he began to see pieces of magic copper ingots being moved out and neatly piled up at the portal.

Those are... magic copper.

A great magician in charge of the Ivory Tower magic portal also sighed, and then said: "Young people nowadays are really hard to figure out. Even if you stay in the mine day and night for ten years to dig out these magic copper mines, you may not be able to dig out so much copper ore!"

I didn't stay until the end to see who won and who lost the bet of Teacher Flanders, but before leaving, I found that Lou Ange's face was obviously wrong.

Hank and his team were left behind by Teacher Flanders, who didn't let them return to the dormitory. Obviously, he had something to ask them in person.

I waved to Hank behind me, and followed Ying Li into the Ivory Tower's warp gate...

... Beautiful dividing line...

While eating a delicious dinner in the dormitory, I learned from Marvin that the final winner of Teacher Flanders' bet was actually a teacher from Xinghai College.

It is said that the noble students of Xinghai College brought back a box of green chalcedony, blood chalcedony and malachite from Xinliu Valley, and the number reached hundreds. The value of these rare gems is even more precious than the sum of all the magic materials found by the other four colleges' expedition teams. It is said that these people found the remains of the ancient goblin civilization, and dug out so many gems from the wall of a palace on the outer layer of the remains.

It is said that if it were not for the last time limit, they might have found something more valuable.

While eating, Le Die rode the dragon to my dormitory. All the magic apprentices in the War Academy lived in a villa. Everyone looked at this girl with gorgeous armor, a beautiful mask on her head, and a voice as sweet as a yellow oriole. They guessed that the face under the mask must be very beautiful. Everyone looked out through the glass window curiously, and I pushed open the door of the dormitory and walked out in distress. Ying Li did not accompany me.

I originally wanted to take her to see Le Die, but she said to me: "Le Die, you are the one I want to see!"

After this adventure, I got closer to these magic apprentices in the class. When I walked out, someone joked and said to me with a smile: "Ji Jia, be careful of the dragon that can breathe fire!"
