My Magic Age

I really wanted to suppress the smile on my face and make myself look more reluctant, so I decided to walk a little slower so as not to leave a frizzy impression on the old magician.

In the cracks between the fine pebbles by the lake, some tender grass as thin as cow hair poked their heads out, stretching out their slender green and yellow figures. When you step on it, you seem to be able to feel the moans of those green grasses, and the surface of the lake The breeze blowing from above blew the Misori robe close to my body. I half-squinted my eyes against the wind and looked at the old mage standing on the road beside the lake.

He is already very old. I can't tell how old he is specifically. He may be over 150 years old. Who knows!

He stood on the side of the road with his hands folded and looked at me and Luka with a smile. He was wearing a lotus-colored magic robe that exuded a faint magical halo. The minotaur Luka's steps were relatively long. He was already standing in front of the old mage without stopping. He smiled innocently, and the small tail exposed from the leather pants was still wagging. It looked like a pug trying to please its owner, rather than a majestic minotaur.

I was worried that the tauren Luka said the wrong thing, so I quickly quickened my pace to follow.

The old mage had already begun to interrogate Luka about some things. We heard the first few sentences clearly, and we only heard Luka's "Yeah, yeah, yeah" answer.

"...The Pai Plateau is a good place. The wasteland there is rich in styptic grass. It's a pity that it's not a war era, otherwise those styptic grasses would be more expensive than food. Those styptic grasses are probably not that valuable now." The old mage's pair His light blue eyes revealed a deep gaze. He turned his head and looked to the northwest, as if his long-lost memories were buried there.

Obviously Luka did not see the heavy thoughts written on the old mage's face, but followed the old mage's words and continued: "Well, the leaves of the hemostatic grass are too bitter. Except for those one-horned bison and yellow sheep, other animals are Don’t like to eat.”

Hearing Luka's angrily words, the old mage suddenly woke up, and the memory of his youth completely disappeared from his eyes a moment ago.

The old mage's expression softened and he said: "Young tauren, does your tribe have ancestral inheritance? Do the tauren in your tribe have a surname?"

Luka said honestly: "Well, the tauren in our tribe are all named White Hoof. My name is Luka. White Hoof."

This was also the first time I heard Luka say his last name. I didn’t expect that Luka was actually a tauren from a large tribe.

The old mage opened his mouth slightly, with a look of surprise on his face. He stood in front of Luka, facing Luka who was more than two meters tall. The old mage could only touch Luka's thick chest with his hand. Said to Luka: "I went to your tribe when I was young, I lived there for a while and learned some knowledge of gathering techniques from the great shaman of your tribe, Ukrul White Hoof. He was a kind and honest elder, and he taught me a lot of knowledge in the wilderness. " There was a look of nostalgia in the old magician's eyes.

He stared closely into Luka's eyes and asked Luka again: "Tell me, young man, how did you end up here? If you need help, I think I can help you fulfill a small wish!"

Hearing what the old mage said, Luka turned to look at me, his eyes full of excitement.

I didn’t expect that Luka and this old mage would have such a predestined relationship. Luka stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and asked the old mage with a silly smile: “Ah, is it really okay?”

Only then did the old mage look at me seriously. I felt that his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, which made me feel inexplicable. Then he turned to the tauren Luka and said: "Of course, this is a The old magic scholar’s ​​promise is as long as it is within my ability.”

"If possible, I want to go to that garden!" The tauren Luka pointed to the location of the small island in the middle of the lake. His brows spread, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"That's it?" The old mage opened his drooped eyelids slightly, with an unexpected light in his eyes, and asked the tauren Luka.

The tauren nodded innocently, and then looked at the old mage expectantly like a curious baby.

"Is this your idea or his?" the old mage asked Karu casually.

"I want to take a look. Jia said there are some plants there that I have never seen before. It used to be a water magic ecological park." The tauren laughed, then looked a little worried, and added hesitantly: "What if No, that’s okay.”

Obviously, the old mage would not refuse such a simple request from the Minotaur Luka. He looked at the Minotaur Luka deeply, as if he was a little disappointed that the Minotaur was wasting such a precious wish. Maybe he thought that Minotaur Luka didn't really understand the meaning of his words, but he didn't say much.

"Okay, if you can help me get rid of the weeds in the flame grass nursery, I can let you wander around in my magic herb garden." The old magician finally agreed and said to me: "If you want to take a boat, the pier is over there. You can just row your own boat."

After saying this, the old mage didn't even look at us again, turned around and left.

…

Originally, I just wanted to plan a chance encounter with the old mage by the lake, and then maybe I would be captured. Just like what was said in the "Magic Academy Life Guide", I would be assigned by the old mage to the small island in the middle of the lake. A half-day of labor in the magical ecological park was exactly what I expected.

My purpose is very simple. I don't just want to see what's so precious about the rare magic herbs cultivated in the ecological garden of the Royal Magic Academy. I want to recommend the tauren Luka to the old wizard in the magic herb garden. I want Luka to become a gardener in the herb garden, so that Luka can stay in the Royal Magic Academy with a legitimate reason. The underground cave is undoubtedly like a prison for Luka, and he has been bored these days. I originally told Luka to return to the surface world of Xinliu Valley with the orcs on duty in the underground cave to relax, but unfortunately he was worried that I couldn't find him in a critical moment, so no matter how I persuaded him, he refused to go too far away from the teleportation altar in the underground cave.

I saw in that booklet that there is such a nursery for growing magic herbs in the Royal School of Magic, and a bold idea came to my mind. That is, I will open the teleportation gate in a secluded place in the school with the "Hammer of Time and Space Breaker", summon the Tauren Luka in the underground cave, and then bring him to this secluded lake, silently waiting for the appearance of the old wizard, and expecting him to summon the students of the magic school to the nursery in the water ecological park for half a day of physical labor when he is walking as usual.

Taking advantage of this half-day time, I want the Tauren Luka to fully demonstrate the true talent of the Tauren tribe, that is, the so-called planting and cultivation, which is the innate talent of the Tauren people.

For the Tauren tribe, they are born with an affinity for natural magic and a keen insight into magic herbs. It can be said that Tauren and Night Elves both have a natural affinity, and they are both races that are easy to cultivate druids.

And I also gave Luka a drop of 'life essence'. The most direct use of this precious magic material is to dilute it with water and then pour it into the roots of those dying plants. The diluted liquid of life essence can bring any plant back to life. Find an appropriate time to show off in front of this old wizard. Maybe the old wizard will keep Luka in the water ecological park.

The three drops of 'life essence' in my hand come from the world tree that grows on the island in the center of the lake in the circular valley of Xinliu Valley. It promises to give me a drop of 'life essence' every year. It is said that this pure 'life essence' is an extremely rare magic material, which contains a very powerful breath of life. Many high-level magic potions need this magic material. It is very shameful to say that this is also one of the few high-level magic materials I have. In addition, perhaps the demon blood in that blood pool can barely be regarded as a high-level magic material. I originally had some precious core stones, but unfortunately they were exchanged for some magic items by President Xixi of the Magic Guild of Sloyte Province.

Actually, I have been thinking about the issue of Xinliu Valley, because I have occupied one of the nine floating mountains in Xinliu Valley. I also wanted to let the beastwoman warrior Kalancuo lead the beastmen to find the one-way portal leading to the main peak. I heard that it is the richest place in the entire Xinliu Valley. In the past three years, Kalancuo has not had any news about the one-way portal. I am like a treasure hunter wandering alone outside the treasure house door, but I don’t have the key to the treasure house door. I can only look at the treasure and sigh. Ha, the topic is a bit far away.

In my opinion, the part about the old wizard in the book "Life Guide of Magic Academy" seems to be hearsay. When I met this old wizard, I deeply felt the wisdom in his eyes. Maybe he walked by the lake behind the academy every day not to find free labor, but to constantly give the students in the Royal Magic Academy a chance to learn. For magical herbology, what can be seen in books is never as real as what can be seen in the nursery. Every scholar of magical herbology needs a lot of time to practice in the wild, and finding those precious magical herb species in the wild is no more convenient and direct than the nursery in the magical herb garden.

Although I didn't leave a good impression on the old wizard after meeting him, and things didn't develop step by step according to the steps I designed, the final result is undoubtedly able to make people feel a little happy. In any case, Luka and I have successfully sneaked into the water ecological park. Since the first step has been taken, we are halfway to success...

...

"Before leaving the tribe, did you learn the gathering technique?" I walked in front of Luka and said to him without looking back.

There was a gentle breeze blowing on the lake, but it only made the dazzling sunlight set off the clear lake surface sparkling. Stepping on the slightly undulating waves, it was like standing on a shallow sand alpaca. With the magical state of "walking on water", I can run freely on the lake.

The tauren Kalu behind stepped carefully on the water, and it felt like walking on thin ice. I could hear his slightly rapid breathing, and he seemed a little nervous.

Although the magic skill of 'walking on water' allowed him to move freely on the water, the obstacle in his heart made him very nervous, and he never took that step.

"I still know some basic gathering skills. When I was young, I followed the older children in the tribe to collect elementary magic herbs around the tribe. This is what our Tauren children must do every day. Yes, it belongs to us. Childhood life." Luka said to me truthfully, then came back and asked me with some worry: "Hey, Jijia, what do you want to do?"

"Hey!" I turned around and walked side by side with the tauren Luka, and then comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you do those things that are against your will."

Seeing the tauren Luka, I still couldn't relax, so I had to add: "If you are left by the old mage to look at the garden, you must know some basic knowledge of herbal medicine."

Luka was relieved, with a silly smile on his face, and hurriedly followed.

As for Yu Luka, although he has a very good temper and is very honest, it is often difficult to change some things that he is sure of.

Obviously, he had listed the old mage as a good person at the first time. In this way, he would not allow me to do anything that would harm the interests of the old mage. His stubborn character also made I am most speechless.

We did not take the canoe that the old mage mentioned, but I directly used the magic skill 'Walk on Water', and then we directly crossed the several hundred meters wide lake in front of us. In fact, when we stood on the lake, we turned back towards the shore. Looking out, it's like standing in a square with a wide field of vision, seeing only a blurry green shadow on the distant horizon. It is a very strange scenery, and it makes me feel that the entire lake shore scenery It’s also beautiful, but when Luka and I sat on the shore of the lake, we didn’t feel this way.

Looking inside through the magic light shield, there is a large area of ​​dense tropical plants inside. Those dark green palm leaves hang down from the thick trunks. The tauren Luka has never seen such a large-leaf plant before. Looking at The ecological garden was lined with green trees, and various unnamed tropical plants were scattered around the island. Some trees were even covered with fruits. He was fascinated by them for a while.

After crossing the light curtain gate under the magic shield of the ecological park, a wave of heat hit our faces. The sudden change in temperature made both Luka and I feel very uncomfortable. We just stood for a short while, and there was a wave of heat on my forehead. A thin layer of sweat broke out, and my whole body seemed to be burning with fire. However, the rich water element around me made me feel very comfortable. I felt that all the pores on my body had opened, and everything on my body was mixed. Every pore is greedily devouring the water element floating in the air.

Luka shook the clothes on his body, and the sweat on his forehead immediately flowed down his face. His mouth was cracked by the heat and he was panting. His lips also looked dry, and the thick beef tongue added to the dryness. Lips, the tauren looked at those tropical Seeing the fresh fruits on the branches, he couldn't help but swallow hard. He stretched out his hand and pulled off a leaf from a cattail tree next to him, fanned himself casually, and said to me: "Jia, here It’s so hot!”

Before I could speak, the leaves in the bushes nearby shook slightly, and a bespectacled man wearing black esoteric trousers and a white shirt appeared in front of us, with a hand in his hand. Weeds, but even so, he still looks He had an extraordinary temperament and looked like a frail magician. However, he looked at the minotaur Luca in shock, pointed at Luca's nose with one finger, and said to Luca: "You...you How can this tauren destroy the vegetation here at will?"
