My Magic Age

The lifestyle of the nobles in the imperial capital is much more luxurious than those in El City. Compared with Louis's temporary residence, the nobles in El City are like the landlords in the countryside, and they don't know how to enjoy the life of the upper nobles.

There is a cross-shaped corridor in the center of the garden, which divides the entire garden into four independent areas. There are rockery pavilions and waterside pavilions integrated into the dense green plants. It is like a beautiful maze.

Next to the marble columns of the cross-shaped corridor, there will be a maid in a white gauze dress standing not far away. These maids have outstanding figures and looks. Noah is very familiar with these maids. When walking beside me, I can still see him greeting the maids next to him cordially. Those maids seem to only smile and salute Noah, but don't speak.

Under the careful care of the gardener, every plant here is full of vitality. It is hard to imagine how these nearly ten-meter-high pittosporum and palm trees grow side by side. I can feel the magical atmosphere of rich water and wood elements in the whole garden.

In a place with a relatively open view, there is a long table, which is already full of exquisite food. There are also some women in gorgeous clothes and some men in exquisite dresses sitting on both sides. I thought that this private party was only for Louise and her female relatives, but I didn’t expect that some managers of the business were also there, and they all seemed to have their female relatives.

The female assistant changed into an apricot-yellow silk dress and stood aside, directing the maids to put plates of fresh fruits on the table.

Louis sat in the main seat, with a beautiful woman in a court dress on each side. They were talking to Louis cordially. At this moment, the haze on Louis' face had completely dissipated. He looked very charming when he spoke. Even the men and women at the far end of the long table were paying attention to Louis' words and deeds. He was the focus of the banquet.

Noah and I walked over, and Louis stood up from his seat solemnly, then walked towards Noah and me, hugged Noah affectionately, and then gave me a big hug, and then said to me: "Come, let me introduce this guest from the province of Schloit, Baron Jijia, he is my brother's best friend, and just this afternoon, he has been doing his best to treat the knights in our business. He is a great water magician."

The women exclaimed and cast envious eyes at me.

The female assistant came over and arranged Noah and I to sit near Louis. Next to Noah and me were the two young ladies in court dresses. They nodded to me in a friendly manner.

They were more familiar with Noah. Before Noah sat down, the young lady with long chestnut hair on her left hand side smiled and covered her rosy lips, and asked Noah: "Noah, how is your life in the magic academy?"

"Very fulfilling, the courses here are more intense than those in Palestina Junior Magic Academy, and there are endless things to do every day." Noah said seriously, then bowed slightly and moved his chair.

At this time, the female assistant behind him took out two sets of exquisite silver tableware and placed them in front of Noah and me. She stood behind me, and when she leaned over to put the plate in front of me, her towering breasts pressed on my shoulders on both sides of my back, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and she had a faint vanilla smell on her body. Then she whispered in my ear: "If you want to eat anything, I can get it for you. This table is too big after all."

I asked her: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

The female assistant leaned behind me and exhaled: "Today's honey-roasted yellow lamb leg tastes great, and it tastes great with some jujube jam, or you can have a smoked spine."

Feeling her warm breath pouring into my ears, I blushed slightly, and then said to her: "Then roast lamb leg!"

"Okay, follow your instructions!" A fragrant breeze blew by, and the female assistant left behind me.

I was relieved and noticed that Noah beside me was also being teased.

The young lady sitting on Louis' right, with white skin and flowers all over her palace dress, was asking Noah, "Why did you send all the maids back last time? Why didn't you leave two to take care of your daily life? Does the academy have a rule that maids can't stay overnight?"

Noah blushed and whispered, "The dormitory room is not big enough to accommodate us."

Then, Noah put the sausage in front of him on his plate and took the opportunity to change the subject and said to Louis, "Louis, is there still a lot of the king squid leather that was purchased when the bath was built last time?"

Louis just sat back in his seat at this time, holding a silver knife in his hand, and was about to cut the steak in front of him. Hearing Noah's question, he stopped and thought for a while before saying, "Of course, there should be some. At that time, I didn't know that the magic pattern scroll in the water bottle only needed a small piece, and the rest was kept in the secret room. Why are you asking this?"

Noah said to Louis: "That sullen Gallagher was talking to Jijia about the magic scroll in the water bottle on the shoulder of the Janna statue. Jijia is also a water magician. This kind of water beast leather must be very useful to him. I think it is better to give it to Jijia instead of putting it in the magic box and letting it age gradually. After all, he has helped us a lot."

I quickly pulled Noah's clothes and winked at him, whispering: "I don't need the leather of the third-level beast, Noah, I don't want that beast leather, I'm not helping you for your high-level beast leather!"

"Of course I know you, even if the leather is useful to you, you won't ask, so I'll ask Louis for it for you." Noah put his hand on my shoulder and said to me confidently: "We know the magician Galah very well. He is a man who doesn't like to talk nonsense. Since he mentioned the leather of the emperor squid to you, I think it must be very useful to you."

When Louis heard Noah say this, his expression suddenly became clear, as if he remembered something. Noah said: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I'm afraid I would have forgotten it long ago. Now I seem to remember something. I remember... the inscription master said that this leather contains a hidden water magic pattern array, which is suitable for guiding water magic skills. It seems that Ji Jia is really suitable for you!"

Then a maid next to Louis said: "Go to the secret room warehouse and take out the leather of the emperor squid!"

"I will follow your orders, master." The maid turned around and left obediently. Not long after, the maid really brought back a magic box.

I didn't let me refuse at all, and put it next to me directly. It was a small thank you from Louis for my rescue of the injured knight this time.

Then we talked about the hemostatic bandage. I thought that even if Marvin's small grocery store received such a large order, he might not be able to handle it. So my suggestion was: let Louis organize some people himself. The production process of this hemostatic bandage is very simple. The only technical content is the formula of the hemostatic ointment. In fact, the hemostatic ointment can be purchased from Marvin.

Because it involves some promises with Marvin, I can't tell Louis the secret of the hemostatic ointment formula.

However, it is more cost-effective to buy the hemostatic ointment alone than the hemostatic bandage.

Louis nodded repeatedly, and the meal was quite pleasant. Amidst the laughter, the maids began to serve the last dessert on the table.

…

Then the topic at the table became a little heavy, and the discussion revolved around the situation on the front line of the Green Empire Expeditionary Corps in recent days. There was news before that several corps of the Green Empire's pioneering forces were frustrated in different planes, and the defense lines of these corps were invaded by foreign races at the same time.

It is said that the biggest loss was in the Warsaw plane. The seven constructed knights in the hands of Grand Duke Ryan Busman were almost all trapped in the quagmire of war. In addition, there were twelve corps composed of nearly 200,000 ordinary soldiers, which were also entangled with the dark forces on the Warsaw plane. One-third of the occupied territory on the Warsaw plane has fallen.

Those dark forces from the abyss actually reached some kind of secret agreement with the natives of the original plane, and joined hands to drive the Green Empire Corps out of the Warsaw plane. It is said that Grand Duke Busman is now gathering all his strength and defending the New Mong Kok on the Warsaw plane. The situation is very difficult.

Charles the Great has sent envoys to the Warsaw plane to understand the specific situation.

Secondly, the Yello plane, Manda plane, Vashj plane and many other planes have also been invaded to varying degrees by the dark forces in the abyss. There are hundreds of planes that the Green Empire is developing. These resource-rich planes are all in the hands of the major dukes. It can be said that the real power in the hands of the grand dukes of the Green Empire is all hidden in their own private planes. At the same time, these dukes control an astonishing amount of wealth.

I learned from Qi Ge that Katarina is in Tanton City on the Yello plane, and at the beginning of next month, the Royal Magic Academy will hold a field training on the Yello plane. At that time, Noah and I will also participate as members of the Sword and Rose Society. I have been selected by Qi Ge as one of the members of their group, so I am very concerned about the recent situation on the Yello plane. However, it is said that the strategy of the commander-in-chief, Grand Duke Samoyed, has stabilized the current situation.

I was relieved secretly, and looked at Noah. Seeing that Noah didn't mention anything about the Yello plane, I guessed that he must not have told Louis about his training on the seventh day.

It is said that the Manda plane is the private territory of Prince James, but now it seems that the development situation is not very optimistic, and the South Wind Corps needs to be stationed in the sea city of Haiyinsi. Only a few knights under Prince James's account led the elite Construct Knights to enter the Manda plane, conquer the local indigenous residents, and then train them into excellent warriors, but now it seems that the progress is quite slow.

The Vashki plane is the private property of the Noah family. Grand Duke Mensa and his squire knights fought hard on the Vashki plane. A week ago, the news brought back by Grand Duke Mensa's entourage from the front line asked Louis to organize a batch of healing potions and antidote potions and send them to the Vashki plane through the portal. Unfortunately, it was a bit late when the news was sent.

Before that, countless noble forces had swept the magic herb shops in the imperial capital, causing the price of the most basic hemostatic grass in the imperial capital to soar by more than three times overnight. Even so, magic herbs were still not available.

This time, Louis was forced to hurry up, so he directly transferred the magic herbs in the emergency material storage warehouse from his hometown in Palestina Province, and asked an elite knight group under him to escort them to the imperial capital, preparing to send them to the Magic Pharmacy Guild tomorrow, so that the magic pharmacists there could refine these herbs into healing potions and antidote potions.

Unfortunately, this entire airship of magic herbs was hijacked by a group of magicians from the Black Magic Hermitage when it was close to the imperial capital. The knights on the airship responsible for escorting the herbs back to the imperial capital suffered a great blow, which made Louis furious, but Louis did not tell the specific reason.

However, at this time, the front-line battle situation on the Vashj plane was tight, and a large amount of supplies and treatment potions were needed. However, because a large number of magic herbs were lost, Louis could not deliver them within the specified date, which would have a great impact on the morale of the front-line soldiers.

I listened to their discussions, sat quietly in my seat, and tasted the very fresh magic antelope leg meat.

The female assistant later added a thin wheat cake roll with ice snake lizard sauce meat strips to my plate, which was also served with various seasonal fruits and vegetables. It was the first time I ate this kind of food. It tasted a bit like spring rolls, but there were also obvious differences. It felt great.

...

Louis asked Bard, who was sitting at the end of the dining table, "How are the supplies that Jijia wants prepared?"

"All have been prepared and are stored in warehouse No. 17 on the first floor." Before speaking, Bard wiped his mouth respectfully with a napkin.

Louis nodded with satisfaction, then his eyes fell on me and asked me, "So, Jijia, when are you going to take these grains, or do you need me to find a trustworthy and reliable caravan to transport them to your designated destination?"

"Yes!" I quickly put down the meat roll in my hand and said to Louis, "If it's convenient, then tomorrow!"

Then, I took out a note from my arms with a long address written on it.

It was a small courtyard that was not too big, not too far from the Royal Magic Academy. This was a house that Helena had rented for me in advance. It was a two-story building with an independent courtyard. I went to see it once. The house was very clean and tidy, and the furniture inside was very new. I saw that the owner of the house cherished the house very much.

The rent is eighty silver coins per month. Yes, it is very expensive, but for the imperial capital, unless you live in the slums, the house price is only high. Before Ying Li went out to gain experience, Helena personally handed the key to me.

Louis handed the small note to Bud and said, "You should do it yourself tomorrow, preferably before Ji Jia's morning class."

"I will follow your instructions." Bud took the note and said respectfully.
