My Magic Age

Such a majestic city, which is three times larger than the city of Sloyt, was built on the sunny slope on the south side of the Debariloche Mountain. San Carlos City has always been known as the capital of industry. It gathers more than half of the dwarf craftsmen in the empire. It is said that the casting technology level of San Carlos City is comparable to that of the seven kings' main cities in the dwarf kingdom.

Various refined metal ingots are produced here. Many magic rune plates in El City come from the blacksmith workshop here. The magic rune plates produced here are very evenly plated. Inscriptionists prefer this kind of rune metal plate with good texture. The success rate of engraving magic rune arrays with this kind of rune metal plate will be higher.

Generally, if you want to become the most basic inscriptionist, you will probably go through these steps. The first step is to constantly draw magic scrolls to improve the success rate of drawing your own magic rune array. Generally speaking, if you can increase the success rate of drawing the magic rune arrays that you are most familiar with to more than 75%, it means that the magician has a steady hand in engraving magic runes and has the potential to become an inscriptionist.

I remember that the reason why Yekis scholars stopped on the road of inscription masters was that the success rate of drawing magic scrolls could not exceed 50%, which made it impossible for Yekis scholars to become excellent inscription masters in their lives.

If you want to become a junior inscription master, you must pick up the magic engraving pen and engrave the most basic magic rune metal plate. At this step, magicians need more resources to buy rune metal plates so that they can practice engraving on rune metal plates. You must know that rune metal plates are much more expensive than magic parchment. Many magicians who are qualified to become inscription masters have the support of very powerful noble families or consortiums.

The last step to become a junior inscription master is that for each magician, it is very detailed and divided into three major directions, namely: scroll masters who are good at making magic scrolls, construction masters who are good at designing magic pattern structures, and magic pattern masters who are good at engraving magic pattern arrays on warriors or magicians.

Many inscription masters' promotion paths are inseparable from San Carlos City, because the highest quality rune metal plates are produced here, which is the most indispensable resource for inscription masters on the road to promotion.

In order to avoid shocking eyes, we put away the magic brooms on the road dozens of miles away from San Carlos City, and then quietly waited for a caravan coming from afar.

It was a caravan that looked dusty. The huge thunder rhinoceros was panting and making bursts of dull thunder. Each thunder rhinoceros was loaded with goods. Dozens of huge thunder rhinoceros walked between the mountains, making the land of the mountains tremble gently.

The riders on the Thunder Rhinoceros were wearing yellow sheepskin coats that were only available on the Pai Plateau. Seeing the huge boxes on the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros, I immediately felt very familiar. This caravan must have come down from the Pai Plateau. Those heavy boxes must be filled with fine iron ingots. Only fine iron ingots from the Dwarf Kingdom would make the Thunder Rhinoceros so tired.

It is said that half of the fine iron ingots consumed every year in the construction of San Carlo City are transported from the Dwarf Kingdom.

From the northernmost province of the Green Empire, Sloyt, go west along the Benma River, climb up along the plank road between the mountains in the west of the Pai Plateau, and arrive at the town of Guluding in the Orc Tribe. Then, go west along the Urutu River from Guluding Town, cross the Yelian Mountains, pass through the northern foothills of the wasteland to the town of Yemen in the Orc Tribe, cross the Death Road of the mountains in the southern foothills, pass through the Xinghu Grassland and the New Xiachis Mountains, and finally reach the Dwarf Kingdom.

This trade route has gradually recovered its former prosperity in the past two years.

We almost didn't need to speak, and a knight on a Gubolai horse ran over from a distance. When he was still dozens of meters away from us, he slowed down the horse and rode slowly. The knight on the Gubolai horse was wearing exquisite iron armor, an iron helmet, and his face was hidden under the mask. He had a knight's lance hanging by his legs and a Roman sword hanging on his waist. He was covered with dust and looked exhausted.

The knight drove his horse to us and lifted the mask, revealing a slightly tired face, because among the five of us, four were wearing magic robes, dressed like magicians, and the other was also a beautiful lady with a good temperament. The knight seemed very polite and cautious, and gave us a knight's salute while sitting on the horse.

He simply asked if we needed help?

At this time, he must be the only male member in the team. I stood up and said to him: We want to take their caravan's magic caravan and rush to San Carlos City, which is dozens of miles away.

He naturally would not refuse. It is the tradition of the caravan to provide some convenience for some travelers on the journey.

...

When this large caravan arrived at San Carlos City, many people were waiting outside the north gate, including many merchants in the city. They kept their eyes on the boxes on the Thunder Rhino, exclaiming in surprise, with eager eyes, and they almost unloaded those huge boxes by hand to carefully check the goods inside.

It seems that these fine iron ingots from the dwarves are in high demand here.

The owner of the caravan became very busy all of a sudden. I personally thanked the owner of the caravan and then told him our intention to leave.

The owner of the caravan was very hospitable and invited us to stay in the caravan for a few days, but I declined. Such a large caravan needs to be stationed outside the city, because the huge thunder rhino cannot pass through the city gate, so the people in the caravan still need to set up tents outside the city to guard the livestock and goods.

After parting with the caravan outside the north gate of San Carlos City, we walked along the main road to the city gate.

The city wall of San Carlos City is as high as 60 to 70 meters. Only by standing on the suspension bridge over the moat can you feel how magnificent the 20-story high city wall is. This reminds me of the huge chimneys in the city that stand tall like a steel forest. I don’t know how high they are to stick their heads out of these tall city walls.

I stood on the suspension bridge, looking up until my neck was slightly sore. I didn't wait for the guards on the top of the city to show their vague figures. I only felt the billowing smoke, which almost covered half of the sky in San Carlos City. Half of the sky here was gray, and the other half was infinitely blue, clearly divided, forming a unique landscape.

The dark city walls were covered with spots of rust. It is said that the city walls here are made of poor iron ore. After years of wind and rain, the iron in the ore slowly rusted, and the whole city wall was rusty, looking like a steel wall.

Mrs. Alia stood beside me and kindly introduced the history of San Carlos City to us. She was very familiar with this city. She could tell a touching story full of love, hatred and vengeance by pointing to a cobblestone by the moat.

It can be seen that in the past few days, Mrs. Alia has completely integrated into Moraya's small circle with her unparalleled affinity. I suddenly have a feeling that Mrs. Alia always gives me a very comfortable feeling. She never does things that make people feel disgusted, and sometimes she shows a little kindness, and sometimes she keeps people away from her. She is also very gentle and considerate, and has a woman's charm that drips with water in every frown and smile.

She always moderately leads the topic to the field she is familiar with, and then says something that Moraya or Alisa will feel novel, and then several people discuss these topics, which slowly evolves into Mrs. Alia always controlling the rhythm of the topic. She will never ignore anyone, and she will make everyone feel that she is looking at herself and talking.

Mrs. Alia's eyes always fall on me vaguely, which always makes my heart ripple inexplicably. I don't deny that her charm makes me feel very novel.

…

When I entered the city, something embarrassing happened to me, because I used to dislike the superiority of the nobles, and I didn’t like the style of using privileges when encountering problems, so when I entered the city, I chose to line up behind the civilians.

But I didn’t expect that after I walked over, the civilians standing in front of me all showed a cautious look on their faces, and the crowd dispersed all of a sudden, and no civilians were willing to stand with me.

Then the five-meter range around me became empty, and no one dared to stand in front of me, and no civilians stood behind me. The nearest civilians stood five meters behind me, looking anxious, probably waiting for me to enter the city quickly, so as not to delay them from queuing up to do business in the city.

The gate guards left their posts and trotted to me, then smiled carefully, glanced at the magic badge on my chest, and didn't question us at all. They respectfully ran to the front of the civilians queuing to enter the city, opened up a wide road for us to pass through first.

In El City, civilians rarely respect nobles and magicians like this. When entering the city, they usually don't take the initiative to make way. The knights of the guard camp don't think there is anything special about nobles or magicians. It's probably because the relationship between civilians and nobles in El City has never been eased, so civilians lack the original respect for nobles. They are more familiar with what privileges nobles should enjoy.

Obviously, priority entry into the city is not listed in the decree of noble privileges, so no one in El City will make way for nobles. I have always been used to the life style of El City. I didn't expect that I would be sent to the city first in San Carlos City. When I think about the time in El City, I usually despise those nobles who always like to use privileges. I didn't expect that I would become one of them now. At this moment, I can't describe the taste in my heart.

However, after passing the bustling crowd and walking into the prosperous city, I still have a very special and comfortable feeling in my heart. That taste lingers in my heart, making me feel that being a magician seems to be really good!

But there is also a faint regret in my heart, thinking: After passing through this city gate, it is impossible to despise those noble children in the future.

...

The buildings are arranged in such an orderly manner. San Carlos City divides residential areas according to clear levels. The lower the level, the lower the terrain.

The layout of San Carlos City seems to be much larger than that of Schloit City. The whole city is divided into three large urban areas: upper, middle and lower, and each large urban area is divided into ten districts.

The upper city area is home to the city's nobles, scholars, and political officials. The Grand Duke's Palace of San Carlos City is at the highest point on the mountainside. No matter where you stand in any corner of the city, you will always look up halfway up the mountainside. Seeing the colorful building complex, the buildings were all very elegant and generous, tall, wide and upright, with multiple semicircular roofs standing on top. They looked extremely gorgeous, like a castle in a dream.

The middle city area is home to the city's wealthy merchants, knights, instructors from the academy, warriors from the adventure group, and some civilians from wealthy families.

The lower city area occupies nearly half of the entire city, where a large number of untouchables, wanderers, and slaves gather. Precisely because a large number of workers gathered in Xiacheng District, all workshops, large and small, were built in Xiacheng District. Those huge chimneys that towered into the sky were emitting billowing smoke, and metal ingots could often be seen on the wide streets. carriage passed by.

Stopping at the street corner of Lower San Carlos, looking at the endless flow of people, we were a little confused for a moment, not knowing where to go. At this time, we thought of the hotel in the city that Captain McIntosh had agreed with us. Maybe I should stay at Waiting for Luka's return in that hotel.

"Does Mrs. Alia have a place to stay in San Carlos City?" I asked Mrs. Alia. I always felt that she was so familiar with this place and maybe she had lived here before.

At this time, Mrs. Alia was joking with Sophie, pointing to a shop across the street. The two of them were guessing what products were sold inside. The signboard at the door had been completely covered by black oil stains, and it was completely invisible. The symbols engraved on it cannot be seen.

When she heard my inquiry, she was startled, turned to me and smiled reluctantly, with a trace of panic in her eyes, but said to me: "Ah... no... no, if it's not convenient, I can do it myself." Looking for a hotel, I’m sorry for bothering you on this journey!”

"Of course it won't be inconvenient!" Moraya took Mrs. Alia's hand and said enthusiastically: "Besides, Mrs. Alia, don't you still want to wait with us for the safe return of the people in the airship? Your maid is still there. In that team, isn’t it?”

"Yes!" Mrs. Aaliya agreed softly, lowered her head to avoid my eyes, and reached out to tuck her long, messy hair behind her ears, revealing her fair cheeks. I noticed that her face looked a little rosy.

"..."

I really want to say to Moraya: I didn’t mean that!

Then, I turned my attention to Shaeli, the princess of Sloit Province.

According to the etiquette among nobles, when she arrived in San Carlos City, she should visit the Duke of San Carlos City in person, and she should also live in the gorgeous Duke's Palace. But when she saw my questioning look, she stared and pretended He put on a fierce look and protested to me: "I don't want to live in the Duke's Mansion. They will definitely try their best to send me back to Sloit. I haven't had enough fun yet! I have already promised Sophie Go to her house as a guest!"

He had an expression of "Don't worry about me", but his cute appearance could not make him look fierce.
