My Magic Age

Hiding behind the glass window of the second-floor corridor of the tavern, watching Qi Ge elegantly board the gorgeous golden carriage, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

The Prince of Wales, dressed in aristocratic court dress, was graceful, with a proud smile on his face, a long sword inlaid with gems hanging around his waist, knight leather breeches, and dark brown long boots. He stood in front of the carriage politely and gently held Qi Ge's hand and helped her into the carriage.

Takama, who followed behind, helped Qi Ge lift up the wide skirt with an expressionless face, doing his best to prevent her dress from getting stained with dust on the ground.

The moment Qi Ge boarded the carriage, she couldn't help but turn her head back to look at the glass window on the second floor of the tavern.

Prince Wales' eyes followed Qi Ge's eyes, and his eyes fell on the glass window. It was too late for me to avoid it. Lucia took this opportunity to take a small step forward, stood in front of the glass window, blocked me behind her body, stretched out her jade-white water plantain-like fingers, and gently waved them outside the window.

At this moment, my body overlapped with Lucia's, and I could even clearly smell the faint vanilla scent on her body, which had a sweet feeling.

Wales looked over and could only see Lucia in front of the window and the vague figure behind her. He smiled at Lucia politely, but the smile in his eyes was a little teasing. He just nodded to Lucia from a distance, and then stepped agilely onto the magic caravan. He must have thought that I was the male companion brought by Lucia.

The expression on his face was clearly as if he was saying: Lucia, who is your male companion, what is there to hide!

Perhaps the Prince of Wales, who was sitting in the carriage, was still thinking about the two overlapping figures in front of the glass window. Perhaps only lovers could be so intimate...

The driver, who was dressed in exquisite clothes, drove the gorgeous magic carriage slowly away from here. Behind the magic carriage, there were two knights in armor following closely.

Qi Ge was in the carriage, lifting the veil curtain, revealing her beautiful face with a smile.

I looked away with a sense of loss.

…

When leaving the Red Maple Leaf Tavern, I waved goodbye to Lucia, who was standing under the maple tree. I always felt that there was an unspeakable emotion hidden in her smile. Perhaps half-elves are very sentimental, so they have such rich expressions.

Noah ran to the corner of the street in person and called a magic carriage. Then he said to Lucia politely, "Senior, where do you want to go next? If it's on the way, why don't we take a carriage together? If it's not the same way, then you go first and I'll go to the corner to call a carriage."

Lucia's blue eyes were smiling, and her eyes were two crescents. She pointed to the exquisite Baroque-style building across the long street and said softly, "No need to send me off. I live over there. This area is where the elves live."

"In that case, Jijia and I will say goodbye first!" Noah said very gentlemanly.

After that, he got on the carriage with me. Our next destination was the 'Emerald Bay Trading Company'. Noah's brother currently manages this company in the imperial capital.

According to Noah, the Emerald Bay Trading Company is his family's family business. Nearly half of the materials in Palestina Province are traded and delivered from this company.

Originally, I just wanted to find a random business to buy some daily necessities such as refined flour, salt, coarse linen, cotton cloth, raw lacquer, and felt, and then find an opportunity to pass through the portal. Deliver to the warehouse in the underground tunnel.

Although Xinliu Valley is rich in products and there is no shortage of food, there are no large mills in the orc village after all, and they are unable to process wheat into fine flour. The flour they usually eat is just ground out with a stone mill. It is not only rough, but also has bran stuck on it. The wheat cakes made have a kind of original wheat fragrance, but the taste is much worse. So occasionally, I will also buy a batch of refined wheat flour to improve the lives of the orcs.

As for salt, although there are salt mines in Xinliu Valley, those salt mines are buried underground. Those places are the residences of goblins. In order to enable the goblins to help us collect magic red copper steadily, I specifically told Kalancuo not to force the salt mines of the goblins. All along, the edible salt of the orcs in Xinliu Valley has been purchased from the trade business.

Of course, there are also daily necessities such as coarse linen and cotton cloth that need to be purchased. Compared with spinning and weaving, those beast girls prefer to graze, hunt, and collect herbs.

The carriage rolled slowly on the clean and tidy bluestone road. The sunlight shone into the carriage shed through the gaps between the red maple trees and the glass windows. The shadow of the maple trees made the carriage bright and dark. Sitting in the carriage, Noah lay dejectedly on the soft chair of the carriage, as if he couldn't lift his energy all over.

I didn't forget to stick my head out and waved goodbye to Lucia under the maple tree. When she saw me sticking my head out of the window in a funny way, she couldn't help but laugh. The sunlight shone on her fair and flawless face through the gaps in the forest. Her smile was so brilliant.

...

A breeze blew, and there was a rustling sound from the maple leaves. The magic carriage went farther and farther along the bluestone road.

On this street called "Red Maple Tree", you can see elven bards everywhere, leaning on the marble railings, wearing clean leather armor, holding an organ, singing softly along with the melodious organ sound. The melodious singing passes through the woods and into the ears of every passerby.

At the corner of the street, there is a very inconspicuous food stall. A slightly older elf woman is putting the pickled whitebait into the oil pan. The rich fragrance wafts on the street. It seems that this food is very popular among the elves, and there is a long queue in front of her food stall.

The magic caravan turned an alley, and Noah jumped up from the soft chair. When I was not prepared, he pounced on me like a raccoon cat, pressed his elbow on my chest, and asked urgently. I said, "You haven't told me yet, how did you meet Teacher Qige?"

Every winter in El City, I would go outside the city to hunt barbarians. Speaking of which, my physical fitness was much better than his.

Noah just learned a very basic set of 'grabbing techniques' in the Sword and Rose Club, and he was worried about spraining my joints, so he took very measured shots.

"In the caravan at the foot of New Siakis Mountain!" I replied quickly.

It's just that the term "Xinxiakis Mountain" is in the orc language. How can Noah understand the orc language? When he was stunned, he suddenly broke away and stabbed his weak point with a hand. Even if It was a strong man who was hit there, and his whole body would become numb. I took the opportunity to break free from his restraints and pinned him down.

He smiled proudly and said to him: "When facing the enemy, you must not be soft-hearted, especially when you face an orc on the battlefield, don't think that you can subdue him by simply capturing him. The best way is to cut off his tendons. If you meet a barbarian on the ice and snow tundra, the best way is to kill him directly and then cut off his left ear. Otherwise, your life will be in danger at any time. "

Noah was slightly panting under my pressure, and after gathering enough strength, he pushed me away again.

He wiped the corners of his mouth provocatively and said proudly to me: "Don't always underestimate your opponent, just come here!"

"Two young and distinguished gentlemen magicians, please note that this is the carriage of a magic caravan, not the arena of a magic academy. There is no duel service here." The coachman sitting outside said humorously. The doorway stretched in, stopping the two of us from continuing our nonsense.

Although Noah was polite to other nobles, it did not mean that he also looked up to the common people. Although the coachman was funny, he was criticized by a commoner in person, which made Noah's face become a little gloomy.

He was about to scold the rude coachman, but I stopped him and the carriage fell silent.

The magic caravan continued to drive on the smooth and traceless bluestone road, and the coachman also realized that the casual words he just said to the two young nobles almost brought disaster to himself.

The seemingly thin barrier between civilians and nobles is not something that can be easily touched in the eyes of many people.

"What? He just made a joke!" I said to Noah.

Noah took a deep breath to make his face look less ugly. He probably thought that I also came from a civilian family. After a moment of silence, his face softened and he complained to me: "Yes. Isn’t it true that what happened in the martial arts training ground today is that I was kept in the dark?”

I was a little distracted.

In fact, I am thinking privately: If I were an ordinary civilian and the person who just said those words was me, would I also offend Noah? The answer is undoubtedly that a young man from a traditional aristocratic family like Noah is unlikely to think highly of a commoner. The environment in which he lives constrains him.

But this is the rule of this world. The social system of the Green Empire is composed of several major classes: those in power, nobles, civilians, and slaves. The people of the empire are hierarchical, and they are also divided into high and low. The lowest slaves are even the most advanced. They have no freedom, but those noble people in power can be said to have almost everything.

"What?" I didn't hear clearly what Noah just said.

"Let me ask you about your relationship with Teacher Qi Ge again. I have always regarded her as my goddess, but you are so familiar with her and you didn't tell me clearly. Do you really want to see me embarrassed? "Noah asked me. His heart almost collapsed, he covered his face with his hands, and said with great regret: "Oh my god, I usually tell you so many things about Teacher Qige, could you also say this to Teacher Qige? Have you passed?"

"Of course... no!" I hesitantly, my reason was very simple, I just said to him: "Look at how I don't have time!"

Noah still believed what I said. When I said this, his expression softened a lot and he was no longer as impetuous as before.

Then the two of us chatted in the car. Noah is a very optimistic, cheerful and sunny noble boy. I admire his optimistic attitude towards life.

…

"I think our president is very approachable. Maybe we should treat her to a meal if we have a chance. Jijia, please make an appointment!" Noah leaned on the soft chair and said to me leisurely.

"..." I was speechless for a while.

After a while, I said with a smile: "Why don't we invite Xueli to have a casual dinner together? Maybe she is waiting for your invitation. If you don't have the courage to tell her, I can help you. Maybe this time Experience in the wild across planes, she She will also participate. You have to find a way to get into the same group with her, but don’t give other people the opportunity to take advantage of her. She seems to be very popular in Fire Class 1. You see there are always so many people around her. Many friends, I’m afraid there are some who want it the most.”

Noah twisted his neck and said to me: "Hey, Jijia, is it me who is pursuing her or you who is pursuing her? Just mind your own business."

In terms of appearance, his facial contours are tougher than mine, with sharp lines like stone carvings, sharp edges and corners, his chin is covered with thick hair, his nose is straight and his mouth is wide, which is very manly. The only shortcoming is that his body is not strong enough. If he is willing to exercise, his skeleton is still very athletic.

...

I have always believed in my sixth sense-intuition.

It's like there is God's guidance in the dark.

Sitting in the magic caravan, with the light reflected from the window glass, I felt a cold and hot gaze passing through my body.

That feeling made me feel very uncomfortable all over, as if in the wilderness of El City, under the cold snow, there was a long-awaited assassin buried, he just lay quietly under the snow, very patiently waiting for me to set foot on this ice field.

And the assassin lurking in the dark would never have thought that I could sense the cold and hot murderous intent in his eyes just by the reflection of the glass on the car window.

Unfortunately, the assassin would never have thought that my eyesight was even better than those rangers who learned the "reconnaissance technique".

If he knew, I think he probably wouldn't have been so reckless to look at me with hatred from a distance.

"Do you feel anything wrong?" I asked Noah.

Through the reflection of the glass window, I found that my face looked very pale and my eyebrows were tightly locked together.

"What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" Noah felt my abnormality and asked me strangely.

"Do you smell a special smell... a strange smell?" In fact, I wanted to say the smell of danger, but I saw that Noah looked normal and was sure that he didn't feel any danger. I wanted him to be more alert, but I didn't want him to fall into this deep suspicion and panic with me, so I changed the way to say it to him.

He sniffed around carefully, but found nothing special on his body, so he looked around vigilantly.

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped. A row of tall buildings stood on the street. The stone plaque was engraved with a peaceful bay and a lighthouse. In the corner, a row of imperial characters were engraved in handwriting: "Emerald Bay Trading Company".

At this time, we arrived at the destination of this trip, the Emerald Bay Trading Company. Noah jumped off the carriage with some excitement. He put one hand on his waist and stood on the stone steps in front of this majestic four-story building. He pointed at the plaque with his other hand and said to me proudly: "This is the company opened by my family. Come on, I will take you to purchase some goods you need. I will give you the lowest discount. Next time, you can arrange a designated person. You don’t need to come in person for these chores."

I touched my nose and said to him with a wry smile: "I have said that the daily necessities I bought are only a little bit, and I don’t need to buy them in a company of this size!"

Noah laughed happily and said: "You just need to write down the details and quantity of the purchased items. There will be special people here to help you. It’s very convenient. We are magicians. How can we waste such precious time on these things!"

As he said, he took me and strode into the company.
