My Magic Age

It is not an easy task to hike through the leafy black pine forest. The entire dense forest is overgrown with weeds. Fortunately, there is a small trail in the forest. I don’t know who opened it, but After roughly knocking down the weeds, a very simple path was formed. Annie didn't have any intention of resisting all the way. Her long leather boots stepped into the deep and fertile soil, and it was very difficult to pull them out. Maybe it was because of the heavy shackles on her hands. Every step Annie took was extremely difficult.

I wonder why Anne is acting exhausted? According to her physical condition, she would not feel tired even if she ran around the black pine forest.

I think she has been showing weakness. A fourth-year swordsman apprentice at the Zhan Zhan Academy, especially a student like her who has received the school's outstanding achievement medal, will never be without the slightest resistance against these low-level priests, but she She now looks like a weak woman, even walking in the dense forest, she seems a little unsteady. Even though the priest behind her kept making obscene remarks, Anne endured it.

I hid in the bushes and watched her secretly. I happened to see her being pushed hard by the priest behind her, her body tilted forward uncontrollably, and she turned her face to where I was hiding. I saw blood on her lips hidden in the shadows, and I guessed that she must have endured it very hard. I'm guessing why Anne didn't wear the long sword that exuded a strong fire element. As a swordsman apprentice, this is obviously very unreasonable.

I didn't dare to follow too closely for fear of being discovered by them, so I just stayed far behind so that I could only see their shadows in the black pine forest. Then, relying on the traces left by the two priests, I followed them from a distance. Behind Anne.

It was very quiet in the forest. This strange scene of no insects and no birds made me feel a little uneasy.

Sure enough, just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a few shadows flashed in the woods in front of me, and then there was a faint sound of fighting. I didn't dare to blatantly run over and join in the fun, so I had to climb up a huge pine tree and hide under it. The fight was watched from a distance on the top of the tree. Several young fourth-year warrior academy students surrounded the two priests in the center. The grumpy warrior was kicked to the ground by the young warrior apprentice and rolled far away. Then there was a cry of begging for mercy, and the young warrior The apprentices obviously ignored these calls for mercy. After being beaten and kicked, the two priests from the temple sat in embarrassment under the tree stump, their clothes already in tatters.

My eyesight is very good, and I can clearly see that the clothes of these two priests are covered with various footprints. It looks like they must have been punched and kicked.

The priest named Gunther kept begging Anne, but Anne, who had already taken off the handcuffs, was unmoved.

Anne stepped out with one foot, placed the heel of her high-heeled leather boot on Gunther's shoulder, and leaned down to communicate with the priest. At the beginning, Anne was still a little patient, but by the time Halfway through, Anne's expression changed. She kicked the priest hard, kicked him away again, pointed her finger at the priest and said a few words, and then pulled out the long sword. I want to kill that person with one sword.

You must know that killing a priest in the temple is a serious crime.

In the Green Empire, it can be said that killing a cleric is a greater crime than killing a noble.

Naturally, the friends on the side would not let Anne really kill the priest, so they quickly intervened to prevent the two priests from being beaten.

Anne and her friends tied the two wounded priests to a pine tree and blocked their mouths with smelly socks. Some information came out and they already had a new target. I still followed them from a distance and waited. I came to the tree where the two priests were tied. The two priests were trying to untie the ropes. When they saw me walking over with a confused look on my face, they thought I was a magic apprentice who had strayed into the black pine forest and got lost. They kept calling me, apparently asking me to hurry over and untie the ropes tied to them.

Looking at their praying expressions, I could see at a glance that the rope on Gunther's body had become loose. Maybe it wouldn't be too long before they would break free even if I wasn't here, so I trotted all the way while asking blankly. Said: "Oh, you two priests, what's wrong with you? Did you meet a robber? Who dares to kidnap a priest on Mount Antias? How audacious!"

While I was talking, I walked over quickly, as if I was going to go behind the tree in a hurry and untie the rope.

The two priests were extremely happy when they saw my posture. They nodded in agreement with what I said. However, I did not untie the rope immediately behind the tree. Instead, I leaned down and raised the rope. With his arms and fingers, he formed a knife and struck Priest Gunther hard on the back of his head, knocking him unconscious. Then before the other priest could react, he knocked him out again.

I checked twice carefully to make sure that the rope I tied would not struggle to open even if they woke up, and then I left with confidence.

I didn't want these two priests to come over with a large number of clergy and Bishop Andua before I rescued Su. That would not be good.

Annie is still too young and not experienced enough in doing things. If I hadn't followed her, it might not take too long for the two priests to lead people to capture Anne and her friends.

I ran into the depths of the pine forest along the shallow traces they left...

I didn't expect Anne to have such a trick. It turned out that she deliberately let these priests catch her. It seems that Anne knows a lot more clues than me. At least she knew that these priests would definitely take her through this black pine forest, and she had her friends ambush here early and captured the two priests in one fell swoop. It seems that she has obtained some clues from them and followed those clues to find them.

In this way, I only need to follow Anne and her group.

...Beautiful dividing line...

In order to make the gunshot as quiet as possible, I directly wrapped my coat around the silver shotgun.

With a "bang" sound of gunfire, a ball of red flame shot out from the muzzle, chasing the figure in the air that looked like black lightning. The trajectory like a red line stayed in the air, and the red-eyed bat had already screamed "squeak squeak" and fell headfirst into the wasteland.

I put away the silver long-barreled hunting rifle again, jumped down from the tree, and came to the side of the red-eyed bat. I never thought that there would be a first-level monster near the temple of Mount Antia. Fortunately, this first-level monster was a red-eyed bat. Bats, such monsters, would almost lose most of their combat capabilities during the day. Usually they would hide in caves and would not come out to hunt until night. I didn't expect that there was such a big guy hiding in the tree hole of the oak tree.

After the Warcraft 'Red-Eyed Bat' died, it left behind a bone on a wing that looked quite crystal white. "Crystal Lightweight Bone" is some of the materials that leather workers and craftsmen need to use when making equipment. It can be used to make the bow arm of a recurve bow. This magical material is very light and is loved by many archers. Although I don't know the value of this thing, the materials produced by Warcraft are generally very valuable.

I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest.

Any level of Warcraft is pale and powerless in front of me now. I am well prepared this time. After having the silver long-barreled shotgun, my combat effectiveness has increased dramatically. This long-range sniper firearm has an incredibly high hit rate with the assistance of magic perception and the sea of ​​spirit. Even the red-eyed bat flying like a black lightning could not escape my gun in the end.

At this time, I was pinching my nose, bending my body forward slightly, carefully picking out a bone from the pile of rotten meat of the red-eyed bat with a wooden stick, and quickly freeing up a backpack space to put it in. My magic waist bag also contains climbing tools, ropes, flints, pickaxes, medicine hoes, cloth bags, a small amount of clean water and dry food, candles, and some frost scrolls sold in the magic grocery store. I even installed some small animal traps on these scrolls. After all, hunters are not good at installing magic scrolls on animal traps, let alone those clumsy magic apprentices. Therefore, the frost magic scrolls in my grocery store have always been equipped with small animal traps, and they are fully installed.

I have been at the outermost edge of the black pine forest. Through the forest, I saw a beautiful manor built on the edge of the cliff. This small manor does not look very large. It just has a small courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by the courtyard-style houses. However, these houses are divided into two floors, and the construction is very elegant. It can be seen that the owner is a very prestigious noble. Although these houses are built on the edge of the cliff, the stone walls outside the houses are still painted with white lime, which looks very neat from a distance.

There are a few small farmlands and a large orchard of golden apple trees on the hills surrounding the manor. The orchard is quite large. Most of the mountains outside the black pine forest seem to be planted with golden apple trees. At a glance, there is no edge, but all the mountains are lush and green, as if they are planted with apple trees.

I don't think this is a wild monster, because this is Antia Mountain, where there is a magnificent temple. According to Ryant, there has been no trace of monsters around El City for a long time, at least for decades. The people here have forced those dangerous guys to hide in the Purple and Green Mountains. Therefore, this red-eyed bat is probably captive, and this bat may be a sentry at night in the manor.

Otherwise, bats prefer to live in caves rather than tree holes.

I saw Annie and her group walking towards the manor along the golden apple orchard from a distance, and I could only follow them.

This bat was the second problem I solved for them. It was obvious that the bat living in the tree hole had discovered Annie and her group, and wanted to stare at the scorching sun and return to the manor to report the news, but unexpectedly died directly under my gun. This kind of magic beast that is good at blood-sucking magic and good at flying speed is very clever.

The manor is right in front of me...

... Beautiful dividing line...

Standing on a pine tree at the edge of the black pine forest, the next moment, I saw a black figure coming out of the pine forest, with a body as big as a calf, black fur as smooth as satin, a bloody mouth and sharp fangs on the giant dog head, and scarlet eyes showing infinite fierceness. It is clearly a hellhound, a hellhound with a head.

This kind of hound is at best a top-level magical beast. I once hunted one at my doorstep in the city of El, so I no longer have any fear when seeing this kind of hound. However, when I saw that the hellhound was not chasing Annie, but running madly towards the bottom of the cliff, my heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

It was terrible. We must have been discovered. The hellhound actually gave up the opportunity to hunt and turned around and ran towards the bottom of the cliff.

What does this mean?

This means that this hellhound is also a sentinel lurking in the black pine forest. When it discovered the outsider, it did not pounce on him and bite him to death, but ran directly to the manor to warn him. This is really bad!

Who can train these magical beasts in the hell world to be as tame as magic pets? I sighed and thought behind me.

But my body was like a bird flying in the sky. Without any tools, I jumped down from the oak tree dozens of meters high. I stretched my body and let the magic coat on my body catch the airflow so that I could glide a little further. I chased the fast-running hellhound.

Now it has run out of my range, and I can only chase it.

But I found that this hellhound did not run to the manor on the top of the cliff, but wanted to run under the cliff. I chased it all the way...

When I got to the bottom of the cliff, I found that there was a dark cave at the bottom of the cliff. This cave was hidden in the weeds and bushes. If you didn't walk closer, you would never find that there was a cave here.

At this time, the figure of the hellhound flashed in the cave, and I got into the cave without hesitation.

When I turned from the bright place to the dark cave, it suddenly became dark in front of me. After closing my eyes and counting for a few seconds, I opened my eyes again and found that the cave was full of traces of artificial excavation.
