My Magic Age

The large protective shield-type magic array has been activated on the square training ground in the martial arts hall courtyard. There are four magic rune obelisks distributed in the four corners of the training ground. The magic runes on the obelisks light up one by one. The surroundings of the obelisks are filled with the power of magic elements. The thick magic power slowly evaporates in the air and continues to spread. With the center of the obelisk, a swaying magic halo is emitted outward.

This is a small obelisk designed specifically for the enchantment magic array. It is only more than two meters high. Four magic light beams converge from the top of the obelisk along a 45-degree angle at the center of the hundred-meter-high sky above the martial arts field, forming a regular triangular pyramid-shaped magic defense barrier. To activate these four obelisks, a certain amount of magic crystals is required. However, because the Royal Magic Academy encourages this kind of formal duel, the Royal Magic Academy is willing to bear half of the cost. Of course, there are some conventional sayings, that is, the cost of the other half of the magic crystals is paid by the losing party of the duel.

Of course, this is also for the academy to make magic students clearly aware that any form of duel is a very expensive thing. Any private duel is forbidden and not allowed by the academy, because those casualties are the most uncontrollable. Every elite magician who can enter the Royal Magic Academy to study is the most valuable asset of the Green Empire. Under the protection of the magic shield, there are magic teachers in the academy to supervise and judge, so generally there will be no serious injuries or deaths.

Before I went on stage, Noah took out a magic box from his magic waist bag, and then took out three magic shield scrolls from it and handed them to me. He put his arm around my shoulders and whispered to me, "When you go on stage, turn on the magic shield directly. Use it when you need it, don't save it for me."

Diego took a wooden dagger from the weapon rack on the side of the field with a gloomy face, and walked to the martial arts training field. The magic pattern light armor made of ice-attributed snake lizard skin gradually glowed under the magic light shield. The rich magic power in the air made his magic pattern armor with magic patterns on his body from time to time. It made Diego's wheat-colored skin look like it had a layer of oily sheen. His short silver-white hair, slender cheeks, and narrow eyes narrowed into a narrow slit released a cold green light and looked at me coldly.

The martial arts training ground was full of onlookers. Lorenzo and his friends stood behind Diego, cheering for him. Alessio and Andrea were hugging each other, leaning against the stone pillars under the eaves of the martial arts hall. They were talking in low voices, but their voices were drowned out by the surrounding noise. They spoke quickly and softly, and I couldn't guess what they were talking about.

Andrea and Alessio were just entrusted to recommend Noah and me to the Sword and Rose Society, but they had no responsibility or obligation to protect me or stand up for me. What's more, I was the one who proposed the duel, so they seemed very relaxed at this time. At least there were teachers from the academy supervising them, and neither side would kill them. Moreover, the protective barrier of the martial arts training ground would also reduce the magic damage of the skills in the magic circle. Perhaps in their opinion, I, a northerner with a small background and not too quiet, should suffer some hardships and gain some small lessons to smooth out my edges.

Die Ge is a leading figure among the second-year members of the Sword and Rose Club. He is well-known, so many people know him. Most of them know that he is a tough guy. But when I, who still looks a little immature, was about to go on stage, the discussions were like flies buzzing in the toilet in summer.

And my identity, like the ink in the brush-washing pool, quickly spread.

There were curious people in the crowd asking their companions around: "Who is he? How dare he challenge Diego? He is really ignorant and fearless!"

Someone on the side raised the issue, and he laughed and said: "How can you conclude that he will definitely lose? Maybe he is a dark horse? This person came from the north. I heard that there are wars every winter there. How do you know that he is not a combat magician who has emerged after being baptized by war and reborn?"

At this time, an insider provided some information: "Oh, you have some truth in what you said. As far as I know, Diego stood up for his friend Ivan because his friend Ivan fell into his hands."

"Those people from the Imperial Capital Gang? Haha!" Of course, there are also some people who are not too interested in the 'Imperial Capital Gang' in the Royal Magic Academy, so they sneered.

Ignoring the spectators outside the field, I saw the magic teacher standing in the field who was responsible for arbitrating the victory and defeat was already waiting in his position. I took a deep breath and walked towards the weapon rack at the edge of the martial arts training field. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, I still chose to pick up a wooden short axe. Holding the heavy axe handle, a familiar feeling lingered in my heart again, and I recalled the scene of the first bloody battle with Kuz and those gray dwarf bandits at the end of the Road of Death.

The crowds of people around looked at me with a strange look, and the noisy discussions gradually became smaller.

"Look, he chose an axe that only barbarians would use. In our imperial capital, even berserkers don't like to use axes. The northerners of Sloyt Province are really different from us!" Someone on the side was sighing. The reason why he could be so unscrupulous was that he didn't take me seriously. But I didn't even bother to look at him. I just walked to the field calmly under the gaze of the crowd.

Compared to Diego, the equipment on my body is not shabby. A new Missoli magic robe is considered a very good magic robe among the freshmen of the academy. However, facing the gorgeous ice robe worn by senior Diego, The leather armor composed of snake lizard skin and magic patterns seems a bit unsightly.

The long dagger was as nimble as his sixth finger in Diego's hand. It kept flying up and down with the rhythm of his fingers, making people dazzled. White cyclones surrounded his body. , I didn’t expect that his major was wind magic. Although he stood quietly, it gave people the illusion that he might disappear at any time.

There was a vague sense of crisis in my heart. The last time I had this feeling was last winter, when I met the barbarian with a bundle of spears on his shoulders among the snow-capped mountains. There was this faint sense of crisis, and now this intuition appeared in Diego. I could only warn myself repeatedly that he was very dangerous, so be careful, be careful, be careful.

"Before my duel begins..." Diego said half a sentence to me with a dark face, then paused, and then an evil smile appeared on his face. He grinned "hehe", and then Then he said: "...I want to tell you, in fact, I don't care about reputation at all, as long as I can make people feel fearful, that's enough, so don't think that I will let you go easily!"

The look in his eyes was like a cold poisonous snake, but the sinister smile that showed his trick was successful made my hair stand on end.

As the grooves inlaid with magic crystals on his body's magic pattern structure lit up slightly, the magic patterns on the light leather armor were filled with the power of magic elements.

I stood opposite Diego and stared at him cautiously. The four-color stone drum totem slowly floated around my body. I had been in the imperial capital for so long, and no one could recognize the colorful stone drums surrounding my body. What exactly are the balls like? Some people even take them as a matter of course as certain magic props on my body. In the imperial capital, all kinds of magic auxiliary devices emerge in endlessly, so everyone has long been accustomed to it and is not surprised.

But when these four stone drum totems floated around my body, and I propped up three ice shields to rotate around my body, the magic teacher standing on the sidelines who was responsible for judging the outcome turned around in surprise. Looking over at me, an old face full of wrinkles was revealed in the magic hood. His eyelids that were always lowered slightly opened, and he carefully identified the stone drum totem floating around me.

When he saw it more clearly, the look of surprise in his eyes became more intense. He even ignored that our duel was about to begin and walked directly to the field. His eyes were firmly fixed on the four stone drum totems, and he slowly walked towards me. .

"These are the stone drums of the orc tribe?" he asked me as he walked. He spoke very fast, and he even spoke in orc language.

I know that once these stone drum totems appear in front of some experienced magicians, it will be difficult to hide the secret of the stone drum totems of the orc tribe, so I have never deliberately concealed it. Now I finally When someone asked me about this, I answered directly in the orc language: "Yes, this is the stone drum totem of the four elements of wind, water, earth, and fire in the orc tribe."

The seniors around me seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, and they all looked at me and the old magician with dumbfounded confusion as they communicated in orc language.

"As far as I know, those shamans and witch doctors could only control a certain elemental power in the initial stage, and thus control a stone drum totem with a single attribute. But now...if I read it correctly, you actually You have four series of stone drum totems, right?" The old magic teacher looked obsessed. Looking at the stone drum totem rotating freely around my body, I stretched out my hand to touch it, but the four fluttering stone drums seemed to be spiritual elemental creatures. Every time his old fingers were about to touch the stone drums. , the stone drum will instantly float away from its original trajectory, avoiding the magic teacher's fingers.

"You are right!" Wherever my eyes touched, the four series of stone drum totems were like a string of gorgeous beads, moving back and forth around my body.

"Haha, this doesn't seem to be a suitable place for conversation. If you are willing, you can come to me on the second floor of the library in your free time. We can have a good chat about the orc tribe. That was when I was young. , a place where I once lived. I believe you probably have the same experience as me. Normally, I would stay there and sort out magic books... Look. Look, I almost forgot the purpose of coming here today. Wait, I should give you the right to come to the second floor of the library. Hehe, you can't tell other students about this. After all, it is not in line with the rules of the college. , I opened a back door for you!" The old magician smiled, his wrinkled face looked bright, and he spoke in authentic Grudin orc language.

"Can I meet you on the second floor of the library?" I asked in surprise.

"Of course, maybe I can give you a lot of conveniences, such as how to quickly accumulate those damn points. At least in the academy's library, those points are equivalent to good things that can't be bought with magic crystals. You probably also read Here we are, those magic books in the library on the first floor are like a mountain of books and a sea of ​​books. Each of these books requires points, although it is only a little, but if you want to read them all in this limited four years, you need a lot of points." The old magician raised his eyelids, his smile was a bit mysterious. At least he succeeded in throwing a big piece of pie to me at this moment, the 'pie' that I had been waiting for for a long time.

Then he continued to say to me: "Well, if it's just these, this is not something that will make you despair, but if you follow the steps step by step and go to the second floor of the library in the second grade, you will find that everyone here The points required for a magic book will be ten times that of the magic books on the first floor. I can make these trivial matters easier for you.”

The old magician's cake was a bit big, and it was filled with a lot of seafood, bacon, vegetables and fragrant beans. Suddenly I felt that this was probably not a free cake. Pie', and then I became a little hesitant. I felt that I should at least say something up front, about the secrets of the orc tribe, which are related to the safety of my orc brother Kurtz. There are some things that cannot be said even if I die.

So I said to the old magician: "I'm sorry, regarding those orc tribe secrets, which involve some previous oaths, I'm afraid it's difficult for me..."

"No... don't be too busy to refuse. No one will force you to say something you don't want to say. When you become a magic apprentice, you have a new identity. You have become a member of the Green Empire. Noble, then you have the right to free speech. I think you will be willing to talk to me about the prairie and the herds of one-horned bison. , the running magic antelope on the grassland, the primary magic herbs all over the mountains and plains, and the young and beautiful orc girl who is strong and extremely passionate..." He paused, and then continued to warmly invite me: "Why can't we be together somewhere? In the afternoon, sit in the reading room and drink a cup of milk tea and talk about the place where we once lived? "

He looked very optimistic and spoke very funny. Finally, he took off the college badge from my chest, used a magic spell to unlock a restriction on the back of the badge, and then pinned the magic badge on my chest with trembling hands. In front of me, the students around That kind of envious look seemed to eat me alive. He stared at the badge on my chest nakedly. Although I didn’t know this old magician, I couldn’t guess where he was at this moment. His identity must not be too simple.

Such a small episode made the originally tense atmosphere a bit absurd, didn't it? The duel hadn't even started yet, but the magic teacher in charge of the arbitration began to pull one of the parties to whisper affectionately in a certain language. So what should be done about the next ruling? Will this make the old magician more cautious during the duel? Prefer one side?

Originally, everyone here had already begun to guess: At what time does Diego cast a spell on me to win?

Some people think that Diego will choose to quickly KO me with thunder at the beginning of the game.

Some people also think that Diego will slowly tear away my dignity bit by bit, making me feel a bit desperate, and then use daggers to leave scars on some important parts of my body, so that the magic patterns will be carved on my body in the future. installation, resulting in great limitations.

And now some people are beginning to speculate that maybe because of this magic teacher, I will finally lose this duel with dignity.
