My Magic Age

Chapter 468 265. The crisis in Maas Town

There was snow piled outside the attic window, and there was a thick layer of ice on the glass window. The dazzling light from outside reflected through the ice and entered the house, leaving mottled marks on the floor.

The fire next to the closet in the living room downstairs had gone cold, and there was no trace of warmth in the room. I got up from the bed, stood on the cold floor with my bare feet, and struggled to open the window that was about to be buried in the snow. A biting cold wind squeezed in through the gap in the window with fine snowflakes. I breathed in the fresh air and felt like I hadn't seen it for a long time.

I like the cold winter, after all, for me, a happy childhood was spent in the cold Nova Siakis Mountains.

I'm not afraid of the cold, especially after I learned to use ice magic in my home, this level of cold has minimal impact on me.

After the heavy snow cleared, the world in front of me seemed to have been completely washed. The blue sky, bright sunshine, clean air, and the whole world outside were a dazzling silvery white. I squinted and looked into the distance, slightly Sighing, there was no telling how many homeless people would freeze to death due to the heavy snowfall this night.

Lent was already standing at the gate with a snow shovel shoveling the snow. The snow was so heavy that the branches of a sycamore tree at the gate had been completely broken.

The tauren Luka was naked from the waist up, standing in the snow in the backyard, rubbing his body with the snow. He was bathing in the tauren way, and he didn't seem to feel the cold at all. Next to him is a set of steel armor mixed with magic black iron. The entire set of steel armor is covered with sharp spikes. Simple magic runes are also engraved on the steel armor, making this set of steel armor tainted with a little magic. breath.

However, this is not a magic pattern suit, it can only become a piece of magic armor. It is one level lower than the magic pattern structure. It only has the simplest magic patterns carved on the surface of the armor, so that the armor's defensive attributes can be improved. A small improvement, rather than a magic pattern structure, can improve the warrior's own basic attributes such as strength, agility, physique or skills. So it's just a magic armor.

This was also a few days ago, after I had just successfully created the 'Frost Nova' magic scroll, I remembered that I should buy a black iron breastplate for the Minotaur Luka. Obviously, the Minotaur Luka liked this breastplate very much. , sitting in the snow, not forgetting to wipe the breastplate inside and out with snow as white as sand.

I was thinking that in such a cold winter, it would be very cold wearing such an armor. Fortunately, it was a tauren with a strong physique.

Just thinking about the feeling of cold black iron heavy armor sticking to my body makes me shudder.

Tracy stood at the door wrapped in a thick cashmere blanket, looked at me sleepily and asked: "Jijia, don't you feel the cold at all?"

"Oh, it snowed heavily last night!" I turned to her and said, reaching out to close the window.

Tracy seemed to be going downstairs to eat breakfast by the fireplace. In this weather, Fanny would light the fire in the fireplace early. In the morning, drinking hot porridge around the fireplace is definitely a very enjoyable thing and will make your whole body feel warm.

"Wait a minute, Tracy, I have something to bring you!" I called to Tracy who was about to go downstairs, and then picked up a bundle of nine 'Frost Nova' magic scrolls on the desk. He walked up to her and put him into her arms.

While she was looking at me in astonishment, she piled a large bundle of 'Water Therapy' scrolls and a whole pack of 'Fire Gathering' scrolls into her hands.

Tracy looked at me with some exaggeration: "Hey, you don't want me to carry so many scrolls for you, do you? If you don't have a magic belt, you can't count on me. I will always stay by your side during the battle. Son, please give those scrolls to you, I can’t use these scrolls, so I’d better memorize something else!”

Obviously she wanted to tell me: How could a swordsman like me always stand by your side and accompany you during a battle?

I put on my socks, put my boots that were a little stiff from the cold on my feet, and stuffed the leggings of my tights into the boots, and moved my body. I felt that all kinds of movements were quite flexible, so I stopped and tidied my desk. , while saying to Tracy: "These are not for me. Yes, the scrolls I used have been prepared for a long time. You can send these scrolls to Arent. The North Wind Army should probably be dispatched in full force soon. Although he is a lieutenant's deputy, if It would probably be dangerous if we encountered barbarians.”

I put the skinning knife against my thigh and inserted it into the scabbard, and then expressed my thoughts: "There must be a magician accompanying the group in his team. You write a letter and tell him that before each action, take a few Come out with a scroll and give it to the magician. Maybe he can get extra care! However, he should keep the magic scrolls of 'Fire Gathering' for himself. In such a cold weather, it must be very cold inside the marching tent, so he needs it! Know how to take care of yourself!”

Tracy was a little moved and a little angry, and finally said to me: "You are so long-winded!" and ran back to his room.

But to be honest, if you can get along well with a magician in the team, Arent will be deeply touched. This is his first year with the army in the encirclement and suppression of barbarians. It can also be said that his rookie career has just begun. At this time, if there is someone in the team to take care of him, it will increase a lot of safety factors.

"Fanny, go and boil some hot water, she must be frozen. Jijia, come down and help!" Liant's heavy voice shouted downstairs. He is a gentleman and never likes making loud noises. , always trying to be polite at all times, but something urgent seemed to have happened downstairs, which made him very anxious, otherwise he would not have spoken to me in such a commanding tone.

I hurriedly ran downstairs, making the wooden stairs make a clanging sound. As I ran, I asked, "What happened, Lient?"

At this time, Liant had already wrapped a unconscious girl in a blanket, who was covered in snow, her hair was covered with ice, and her face was blue from the cold. For a moment, I saw her hair under her messy hair. That face, she was very young, looked familiar, but I didn’t remember who it was, and I didn’t deliberately think too much about it. After all, I could count the women in my social circle on one hand.

It seemed that she must be a refugee who had taken refuge in the city from outside the city, but yesterday's heavy snowfall came at the wrong time and she was already frozen.

Refugees like this are rarely seen in the wealthy area of ​​​​East City. There are guard camps of knights guarding several main streets in the DC area. The entire DC area is populated by nobles and high-income citizens. Almost Every year, most of the tax revenue of El City comes here, so the security here is very well managed. Very few refugees will sneak into this neighborhood. They will be uniformly introduced to the vegetable market and slave market in the south of the city temporarily. Set of refugee camps.

"Did you pick it up from the street?" I leaned over to help Liant, and together we carried her to the bathroom. The best way to deal with a frozen person is to soak her in warm water while she is still alive. inside. "Are you sure she hasn't been frozen yet?"

I felt that her legs were stiff, and her body was almost as stiff as a dead body when I held her in my arms. There was no point in torturing a completely dead person like this.

"Please, when I saw her, she was still walking wobblingly. She fell in front of me. When I hugged her, I could still feel a trace of warmth in her heart, but her body temperature was too low. She should be frostbitten all over, Jijia, you know what you should do!" Liante had already looked at me, and he put the girl and the thick blanket into the bathtub.

Standing in the bathroom, Fanny was preparing hot water. Seeing Liant rudely wrapping the girl's whole body in a blanket, she said angrily to Liant: "What are you doing! I just bought this." The blanket won’t be warm when it gets wet. He is still trying to save people. There are at least tens of thousands of refugees gathered in the south of the city. How many can you save? Get out, Jijia, come on. What are you doing, let Tracy come in and help me!"

Fanny is a typical sharp-tongued person with a soft heart. She expressed reluctance in every possible way, but there was no hesitation in her hands. She first pulled her beloved blanket off the girl's body, and then began to untie the girl's clothes. At the same time, she poured warm water into the bathtub. Fanny's method is more effective. If you put on clothes, the water may become cold after soaking into the clothes. Only by immersing the whole body naked in the water can the body temperature be restored quickly.

"Because I am a magic apprentice, Fanny!" I said to Fanny.

Fanny looked at me with some confusion.

"My teacher is the water magician Heidi!" I said again.

"You are a magic apprentice, do you have the right to break into the bathroom when a lady is taking a bath?" Fanny lowered her voice and scolded me quickly, obviously she did not understand what I meant.

I didn’t want to be misunderstood by Fanny, so I quickly explained: “The first magic I learned (at the Magic Academy) was ‘hydrotherapy’!”

Yes, I am an auxiliary water magic apprentice. Fanny probably forgot about this in a hurry, and then she remembered it after hearing my explanation. He quickly pulled me in, looked at me with surprised eyes, and said: "Oh, my God, I almost forgot. You child, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and save her!"

In fact, I have never shown my magical power in front of my family, not even the 'water therapy'.

This is the first time I have used magic in front of Fanny, and deep down I still feel a sense of joy in showing off my abilities in front of adults. I really hope Fanny can praise me.

I also couldn't understand my child's mentality at this time. I found that I was really gradually integrating into this body.

A gorgeous blue-lined magic circle rose from beneath her feet, complicated and difficult to understand ancient elf magic spells, and a pure white water elemental magic breath enveloped the girl's body.

The water element with a strong breath of life turned into bright stars that kept flickering around the girl's body, and at the same time there was a crisp rustling sound. The powerful vitality and vitality entered the girl's body and the spell was finished. I didn't want to stand here waiting to be scolded by Fanny, so I hurriedly hid from the bathroom.

At this time, Tracy poked his head out from upstairs and asked me: What's wrong?

I pointed helplessly at Liant, who was sitting in front of the dining table reading the newspaper, and said softly: He rescued a refugee!

Tracy patted his forehead speechlessly, and deliberately shouted loudly into the bathroom: "Fanny, do you still need my help?"

"Thank you, honey, I can take care of her myself!" Fanny's voice echoed in the bathroom.

Sometimes, I suddenly have a feeling that the world is so small.

But thinking about it carefully, this incident was definitely not accidental. Cindy sat quietly by the fireplace, weakly holding a bowl of oatmeal porridge. She was obviously very hungry. Although her body was still a little stiff and unresponsive, she was still trying to drink the porridge.

When she came out of the bathroom wearing Tracy's pajamas and supported by Fanny, I saw her little face that was frozen blue. It was the girl who was rescued with Su in the temple incident. She said her home was in the town of Mars. Later, she returned home and there was no news. I didn't expect that she would return to El City again after only a few months.

I think she should be looking for Su, but Su has gone to the imperial capital with Ying Li, and Annie also boarded the airship to Qiyan City in the fall. The house is currently empty. Cindy said that she wandered at the door of Su's house for nearly a night. She didn't know that Su had gone far away. She just wanted to wait for Su to come home. She came to seek refuge with her friend, but she didn't expect to be empty-handed.

According to the information Cindy brought back, several slave-hunting barbarian teams gathered outside the town of Mas. They have posed a serious threat to the town. I wonder if they will flatten the entire town when they are angry. Moreover, they have plundered some slaves in the town. The mayor has sent several groups of people to deliver messages, asking the Knights of El City to send troops to drive away those barbarians, but unfortunately the news has never been heard.

I think the high-level officials of El City will not send reinforcements. They dare not joke with their own city.

The natural environment of this world is more difficult, and people's physique is also better. Northerners are obviously more tolerant of severe cold. Even if the body is frozen and dying, after being rescued, there will be no blackening of the tissue structure of various parts of the body. At most, it is possible to be frostbitten, and then the frostbitten parts will feel itchy and unbearable throughout the winter. Looking at Cindy's unspeakable and pitiful eyes, I can't comfort her.

There is not much time for me to reminisce. Today is the day for the falcons to gather.

I told Fanny and Ryan that the School of Magic had a big project that required me to work hard with the magic instructor. At least during this period of time, I had to eat and live in the school. I also proposed to bring the minotaur Luka and Tracy with me. Although this reason was far-fetched, I successfully brought Tracy and Luka out of their homes. I needed to rush to the gate of the War College to gather, where there were powerful new companions...
