My Magic Age

In a living room in the logistics department of the institute, a white-bearded magician sat across from Scholar Yerkes and me with a calm expression. He looked at the flames that kept dancing on the fire-gathering scroll and hesitated slightly. Scholar Yerkes said: "Although this secondary fire magic circle has a novel design, it is ultimately an inferior secondary magic scroll pattern. The value of this thing is too low. Although the magic pattern on it is very novel, it is very Unfortunately, this scroll can only give you fifteen points."

Perhaps because this number was a bit shy to export, the white-bearded magician explained: "We are old friends, and I will say whatever I have to say. Although its structure is very reasonable and its creativity is also very good, no magician will be willing to do so." Spend your time learning magic runes on it.”

"I told you, this drawing of the magic pattern array is not mine. I don't mind how much you bid, you should ask him!" Yerkes sat on a chair, drinking tea leisurely, and once again stated that these magic patterns The drawings are not his.

"Fifteen points?" I didn't understand how points were redeemed, and I didn't know what fifteen points represented, so I repeated in a daze.

"The new magician's assistant?" The white-bearded magician raised his eyes and asked me kindly.

I immediately said, "I came here last month to work as an assistant to the Yerkes scholars."

The white-bearded magician nodded, and then just said: "Learn from Yerkes's wild ideas. It will be of great help to you in your future career as an inscription master. Fifteen points is not a lot. One point is not a lot." Points can usually be exchanged for a gold coin, but few magicians exchange points from the Magic Academy for gold coins.”

The white-bearded magician smiled lightly after speaking, perhaps because he thought his words were humorous.

"Oh!" I agreed lightly and said nothing more.

"The value of this blueprint is not too great. Even if a large number of magic scrolls are produced, they can only be used as daily life magic items. Such things usually do not have high added value, so they can only be given to you. Are you willing to redeem fifteen points?" The white-bearded magician lowered his head and asked me.

"Of course." I replied without thinking.

"Okay, if you have any drawings of magic pattern scrolls that need to be redeemed next time, just come to me." The white-bearded magician thought that I only had this drawing of the magic pattern array, and was ready to end the meeting.

"...Well, I also have a wind-type magic pattern drawing." I whispered quickly.

I handed the drawing of the 'Wind Rush' magic pattern array into the hands of the white-bearded magician. He thought it was still a drawing like the 'Fire Gathering' magic pattern array, and there was a hint of displeasure on his face. Probably complaining that I didn't take out these drawings together.

But when he saw that alternative magic pattern array, he put away his contempt, raised his eyebrows, and asked me: "Oh? This drawing is very good, but are you sure that the magic pattern like this Can the Pattern Array create a magical effect similar to the 'Light Body Technique'?"

I put the pair of wind wolf leather boots that Yerkes just gave me on the table, and then said to the white-bearded magician: "These have the dual magic effects of 'light body' and 'wind speed'. You can try it." Give it a try!"

The white-bearded magician finally showed a look of relief on his face, and said with emotion: "If all the magicians who exchange drawings can bring their works directly like you, then my judgment work will be easy!"

The white-bearded magician didn't hesitate and put the leather boots on his feet directly. However, it seemed that the boots were a bit tight for him. He limped when he walked. Soon he stood in the middle of the room. Position, tried to send a trace of magic power to the magic pattern array of the Wind Wolf leather boots, and the two magic pattern arrays on the entire Wind Wolf leather boots were instantly activated.

A faint wind circle surrounded his feet, making his steps suddenly become brisk.

The white-bearded magician closed his eyes and savored the effect of the wind magic on him. Then he said: "Oh, these boots are good. The unique dual magic structure is still a first-level magic pattern structure. It can control the carrying capacity within the range of a first-level magic pattern structure. This magic pattern is very good! "

Afterwards, the white-bearded magician took off his wind wolf leather boots and praised Scholar Yerkes: "Bruce often said that you always have some unique ideas. Now it seems that he still doesn't know much about you." It's really thorough. The concept of this pair of leather boots is very good. This drawing of the wind-based 'Magic Pattern Array' is very valuable. Even with the double array, the required magic carrying capacity can be controlled at the first-level magic pattern construct. Within the range, that’s good.”

"This drawing is not mine." Scholar Yerkes stood aside with a faint smile on his face.

The white-bearded magician showed a knowing smile, nodded frequently to Yerkes, and said vaguely: "Okay, I understand, you designed this construct, and the drawings are not yours, I understand, I understand."

As if everything was under his control, he then turned around and said to me seriously: "Well, this young magician's assistant, I will give you a reference price, one hundred and fifty points. You can consider it. If you are interested, , just come to me. After all, this magic pattern drawing is still a bit too simple..."

I was slightly startled when I heard this, but then I was overjoyed. My good impression of this white-bearded magician suddenly increased a lot. I thought that this magician who evaluated the magic pattern blueprint was quite honest. This "Wind Speed" blueprint was worth 150 points. Then, including the points exchanged for the previous Fire Concentration Blueprint, I actually had 165 points.

I quickly thanked the white-bearded magician.

The white-bearded magician just looked at Yekis and said, "If there is no other blueprint exchange, then I will receive the next person."

Hearing the white-bearded magician say this, Yekis hugged him again and said to him, "I'll invite you to the tavern for a drink some other day. I know a place where the golden apple wine is very authentic."

"Completing your research well is better than anything else. You can come to my house to drink wine!" The white-bearded magician said to the scholar Yekis with a happy smile on his face.

I didn't expect that Yekis and the white-bearded magician had such a good relationship.

Afterwards, Yekis took me to say goodbye to the white-bearded magician and then walked out of the reception room.

Yekis, who walked out of the reception room, seemed a little uninterested. Although he did not talk about the value of the two drawings, I knew that the white-bearded magician must have given some premiums for the sake of Yekis.

Yekis was not unhappy because the drawings of these magic scrolls were handed over to the Magic Research Institute. He just didn't agree with me wasting these resources to save the harpy.

I walked out of the logistics reception room and it was difficult to suppress the joy in my heart. I was still thinking in my heart: the magic pattern arrays on the other three stone drum totems might be as valuable as the "Wind Sprint".

...

I went to the warehouse management to inquire and was told that these magic beast materials were stored in the fifth warehouse.

When Yekis heard the administrator say that all the materials needed by the scholar of Hindki University were stored in the fifth warehouse, his face choked. He walked out of the warehouse management hall, frowned, stopped, and then sat down on the bench in the outer corridor. He waved to me and said, "Go and get all the materials according to the details on the list. These points should be enough."

"Do you want to sit here and rest for a while?" I thought scholar Yekis was tired of running with me.

"Well, the fifth warehouse is Di Yin's territory. I never thought that one day I would need to exchange magic materials in his warehouse. I have some old grudges with him. If I go there, it will add some unnecessary factors. When you go in, just say that you are collecting magic materials for the scholar of Hindki University. Maybe he won't make things difficult for you. I hope that kid's memory is not so good." Yekis showed a faint bitter smile on his face, then took out a magic book from his magic waist bag and quietly flipped through it on the bench in the corridor.

…

With a little bit of uneasiness, I walked into the three-meter-high iron door at the end of the corridor, which was full of magic patterns. The magic patterns on it were filled with rich magic power. On the tall plaque at the door was engraved the words "Fifth Warehouse". This place was very different from the other warehouses. There were two railroad tracks embedded on the stone road, extending all the way into the warehouse. I thought there must be heavy items stored inside, which required heavy-loaded rail transport vehicles to transport.

From the surface, the outside of the Fifth Warehouse was deserted, but the large iron door and the layers of defensive magic arrays in the corridor clearly told us that the security here was strict.

I pushed open the door of the Fifth Warehouse and walked in to find that it was no different from other warehouses. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a counter. A middle-aged magician was sitting behind the counter and reading a book silently. When he saw me walk in, he didn't even raise his eyes, still looking arrogant and cold. I walked forward a little nervously and stood next to the counter.

At this time, the middle-aged magician raised his head slowly, glanced at me calmly, and then said expressionlessly: "This is the fifth warehouse. Is there anything I can help you with?"

I finally knew why the Yekis scholar didn't come over. It turned out that this middle-aged magician was the middle-aged magician who had a big fight with the Yekis scholar in his laboratory on the afternoon when I first arrived at the Magic Research Institute.

"Hey, this is not a place to hang out. This is the warehouse of the institute, the fifth warehouse. Boy, if you are just curious and come here to take a look, then you can leave!" The middle-aged magician scolded me unceremoniously.

After knowing his identity, my previous uneasiness disappeared.

I took out the list in my arms, handed it to the middle-aged magician, and then said to him lightly: "Mr. Magician, these materials are required by the great scholar of Hindki. As additional magic materials, I will exchange them with points."

When the middle-aged magician heard the words "the great scholar of Hindki", his expression eased a little, and then he carefully checked the details on the list, frowned and said: "This is indeed the notes of the great scholar of Hindki, but I just delivered this month's magic consumables to the great scholar of Hindki this morning. In just half a day, the materials required by the great scholar have completely changed into another series. It's really a bit strange!"

I stood in front of him and didn't respond to his words.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at me lightly, paused, and then frowned and asked me: "You are not the assistant of Professor Sindeji. Have I seen you somewhere?"

At this time, I was dressed in a completely alternative style. The legs of gray tight-legged pants were tucked into soft lambskin boots. I wore a white silk shirt on my upper body, and a fishskin hood on top of my head. If it weren't for my chest, There is also a magic medal in front of me. I'm afraid no one will associate me with a magician.

I had a confused expression on my face. The middle-aged magician thought hard and finally couldn't remember where he had seen me before. Finally, he waved his hand helplessly and said, "Let's go get those magic materials first! But are you sure? If you have enough points to redeem these magic materials, these things are basically worth a lot of money.”

I took out a sheepskin scroll from my arms and slowly unfolded it on the counter. This was the final points voucher that the white-bearded magician just gave me. It was neatly marked row by row using special magic means. One hundred and sixty black legal stripes, each one is very vivid.

The middle-aged magician glanced at it casually, then said coldly, his arrogant tone softened slightly, and he explained to me one by one: "The skeleton of the roc's wings, Grom's blood, beef tendon meat Silk thread, night saber heart and other materials are all in stock, I I can give them to you right away, but you need to follow me into the warehouse to select the remaining ones. Moreover, the points required for each of those materials are slightly different, and I think your points are not very abundant, so the next step is to select the materials. It’s time to think carefully.”

After saying that, he didn't wait for me to agree or not, he threw me directly in front of the counter, turned around and disappeared quietly from my sight.

I think the fifth warehouse as a whole should be a large defensive array. Some places are just covered by the illusion in the array, so under the visual illusion, the entire fifth warehouse is just a small one. A secret room with only a counter inside.

The room was so quiet that I could even hear my own heavy breathing, which made me feel the pressure slowly building up in the absolute silence.

Not long after, the cold-faced middle-aged magician pushed a cart and slowly emerged from the darkness, as if his previous body had just been swallowed by the darkness.

The trolley in front of him was filled with glass bottles and jars. A bottle of bright red blood was swimming back and forth in the glass jar, covering the walls of the glass jar with sticky purple-red, and there was also a bright red blood the size of a fist. The heart was beating continuously in the unknown light green liquid, and it seemed to be beating very rhythmically. There was a note on the bottle cap, with the words "Heart of the Nightsaber" clearly written on it. .
