My Magic Age

We sat around under the ancient war tree. The minotaur Luka peeled off the last piece of the hard shell of the Spider Commander, put it in the lake to wash off the blood and meat on it, and piled it aside like a small mountain.

Those hard insect armors are the rich magic materials left to us by the Spider Commander. These magic materials can be sold at a very high price when brought back to Green Empire.

It can be said that the most valuable thing on the Spider Commander is not the twenty-five black magic crystals hidden in the bone joints, but the tough black insect armor of the Commander. The insect armor on the limbs and torso of the Spider Commander is similar to bronze armor in hardness and toughness, but its own weight is only one-fifth of bronze plate armor.

I made a preliminary estimate and found that it can be made into about ten sets of full-cover armor. This tough and lightweight black insect armor is deeply loved by light cavalry. This insect armor is expensive and needs to be greased frequently for maintenance. It is considered a high-end armor.

However, this kind of shell material is a bit troublesome to handle. It is not as plastic as metal. Before sewing the beetle armor, leather workers need to soak the beetle armor in special potions for a period of time before cutting it into the right size and then putting it into the mold to press it into the required shape.

To make this kind of beetle armor, the configuration of solvent and softening agent is the key. Once this agent is slightly deviated, it will affect the mechanical properties of the beetle armor.

Because the final molding is basically pressed and shaped with a wooden mold, this kind of beetle armor can be made very fit, and the entire wooden mold can be completely tailor-made. This kind of light armor has a large market in the imperial capital.

At this time, I came up with an idea, that is, those orc warriors are wearing some rough leather armor, and the styles look varied, like a ragtag army. It is better to use the shell of the spider commander to customize a batch of light armor.

In any case, this time I hunted a spider commander, which can be said to be a great harvest.

Moreover, in the previous battles, I found that these spider commanders, in addition to having hard armor and brute force, have very limited skills, which are nothing more than "charge", "cleave", "half-moon slash", and "war cry". The more you understand him, the more you can formulate some hunting plans specifically for the spider commander.

In front of me, there is a large piece of black dark-patterned spider skin. This spider skin is taken from the soft abdomen of the spider commander. It has a tough texture and exudes a faint shadow breath. This spider skin can be included in the category of high-level magic materials, and can even be put on the auction house of the Imperial Capital. This part is the best skin on the spider commander. The slightly light-colored dark pattern on it carries a trace of flowing shadow magic breath. I believe it will be liked by assassin professionals.

"Level 3 magic leather, and it is of shadow attribute. This thing is generally sold at about five magic crystals per square foot in the Imperial Capital Auction House. It's not bad." Qi Ge reached out and gently stroked the wrinkles on the spider skin, saying calmly.

Kalancuo sat against a tree, she placed the double-edged sword flat on her legs, sharpening the edge of one side with a whetstone, and asked me: "Ji Jia, have you thought about how to deal with the next Spider Warlord?"

In fact, I didn't have any good ideas. After all, the Spider Warlord's strength was equivalent to the combat power of a second-level warrior. When facing people like us, his strength could almost crush everything.

Almost no one here could stop the full-strength attack of the Spider Warlord.

I shook my head and said: "Otherwise, lead him to a valley, and then try to open the ice wall formation. As long as the detonated ice wall can freeze his body, we can win!"

Qi Ge asked me from the opposite side, "Are you sure you can create enough ice walls before he kills you?"

I hesitated for a moment, because I really didn't have much confidence. After all, he was a powerful Spider Warlord. Even if he stretched out a little finger, he could poke me to death on the spot. I said to Qi Ge: "... Maybe... I think there is still a chance! "

Qige disagreed with me taking the risk, after all, there was a big gap between me and the Spider Commander.

She asked me: "Do you want those orc warriors to help you buy time, or the cannon fodder of the heavy infantry regiment in the valley?"

Then she acted indifferent and said calmly: "That's right, those heavy infantry soldiers, as cannon fodder, should have the awareness of cannon fodder!"

I know Qige is mocking me, but I have nothing to say.

Qige and Kalancuo rarely agree on the issue of rescuing the battalion of soldiers in Katarina, and they hold opposing opinions.

As for the lizard maid Takama, she only obeys Qige's orders, while the tauren Luka has always stood firmly behind me and will stick to my decision to the end.

I shrugged and said to Qige: "You know I don't think so! "

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the joy of seizing a large amount of spoils was suddenly diluted.

Qige looked at me seriously and said, "Then you are still foolishly wanting to take risks? If that's the case, why don't we turn around and go directly back to Pereira City. As for rescue, that should be something that Grand Duke Samoyed should consider. "

I sat on the roots of the ancient war tree, lowered my head, buried my face in my arms, and then said, "You can get merit in the battle here, right?"

Maybe my voice was a little low, Qige didn't hear it clearly, or maybe she didn't understand what I meant.

"What?" she asked me.

It was as if I suddenly found the direction I wanted to fight for in my life. I raised my head with great determination and said to Qige: "I mean, to marry a princess from the Green Empire, at the very least, you need to be a count." That’ll do, right?”

She seemed to understand what I meant, staring at me with her big watery eyes.

I continued: "What would happen if someone else now knew about our relationship, and a magician noble fell in love with the fiancée of the seventh prince of the Green Empire?"

I scratched my messy hair and answered the question myself without waiting for Qige to tell me the answer: "Perhaps I will be sent to the Parliament of Nobles and sentenced as a blasphemer of royal power, right? In other words, Now, with my status, I am not even qualified to compete with the Prince of Wales."

I reached out and grabbed Qige's soft hand, and then said to her with great certainty: "Whether I marry you or marry Li, I need a higher status, at least the earl of the empire. I want to see Wei Wei again." So, I need some achievements on the battlefield.”

Archbishop Angel Bald probably refused to see me because of this. She did not agree with Ying Li's choice, which meant she indirectly rejected me.

"Actually, there is a precedent for Green's princess to marry a baron..." After Qige finished speaking, her face turned red with embarrassment.

The scene suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

…

"My friend, do you want to deal with those spider people?" The ancient tree of war suddenly opened his eyes and asked me, his voice was like thunder.

"Well, those spider men trapped some of our companions." I said to the ancient war tree, but I don't think it still has the strength to defeat the second spider man overseer.

"Then lead him to me, I can kill him!" His thick voice seemed very powerful. He danced the thick vines, but it seemed that only a third of these vines were left. , the burnt marks all over his body and the dry branches and yellow leaves made him look very embarrassed, but he looked high-spirited, and the leaves on the crown of the tree rustled.

Glancing at the sparse leaves on the tree crown, I sighed: "You'd better recuperate! We Greens and the Nibru tribe's spider people went to war to compete for the rich land. You and those spider people have no There is no need to involve yourself in any interest relationship. After all, if we lose the battle, we can just pat our butts and leave. As for you, you can only stay in this forest, and it is impossible to escape! "

It’s hard to imagine how I managed to talk honestly to a big tree about my future life. I felt like I was so crazy.

The ancient war tree shook its top leaves. It looked a little excited. The loud voice shook my eardrums. I couldn't quite understand how a big tree could still have rich emotions, but the fact is that In this way, this is an ancient tree of war with a clear distinction between love and hate.

This ancient war tree said to me: "These spider-men are in the forest, destroying the children in the forest wantonly. Every time they go to a place in the forest to build a large-scale web, they will destroy a large area of ​​​​the forest. Before My mind was sealed, and I didn’t know that my people were affected by Such suffering, but now I wake up and have established a new connection with the children in the forest. They are all complaining to me. This forest has suffered so much from the spider people. Like you, we are also very sad. I desperately want to drive them out of this dark forest.”

The Ancient War Tree showed great sincerity and said to me: "If you want to deal with those spider people, the children in the forest and I can try our best to help you!"

"But you are so seriously injured, I think what you need most now is to take a good rest." I stood in front of the ancient war tree and said.

I had just brought this ancient war tree back from the shadow of death, and then this ancient war tree wanted to take revenge on the spider people who persecuted their compatriots. I thought: This is really an ancient war tree with a strong desire for revenge. .

The Ancient War Tree did not give up. When he saw me trying to persuade him to take a good rest, he did not argue and said directly: "Even if I can't participate in the war, I can still help you in other ways. After all, this forest is my territory."

I was curious about what kind of help this ancient war tree could give us, so I said to it: "Okay, then tell me, what can you do for me?"

There was a hint of pride in the voice of the ancient war tree, and then he said unceremoniously: "I can provide you with some information."

I repeated in surprise: "Information?"

The ancient war tree said to me: "Yes, I can harvest a lot of information about spider people through the children in the surrounding forests. As long as there are trees growing, we will be able to establish a connection. At that time, as long as you are in In the forest, I will be your eyes, so that the tribesmen hiding in the forest have nowhere to hide. "

If this is the case, if we can grasp the spider people's movements anytime and anywhere, at least we will be invincible.

I couldn't help but clapped my hands and praised the ancient tree of war: "This is definitely a good idea!"

The honest laughter of the ancient war tree was very loud, and I heard him say: "Okay, now, the first message I give you is: you keep walking forward in this direction. When you are near the lake, there is Many precious gems are left in the clear lake. If you look for them, you will definitely find something."

I asked: "Oh, what is it?"

"Black magic crystal, many, many black magic crystals." The ancient tree of war answered truthfully.

…

The clear lake water kissed the fine sand on the lake shore, rolled up some white foam, and piled up on the shore, like some melted snow.

Tens of thousands of slime monsters in the swamp seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and those dirty muddy puddles were all gone, leaving only a knee-deep clear shallow lake. With my magical perception, I could clearly feel that there were countless water element essences in the lake. They floated in the clear water, making this clear shallow lake full of an extremely vivid breath.

Sister Guoguo's water element spirit floated beside me, dancing happily all the time. The water element essences floating in the air around her body kept gathering towards her body. Every time it flashed, her body would become clearer.

One by one, the black magic crystals lay quietly on the sand at the bottom of the lake like black raindrop stones. The soft breeze blew across the sparkling lake, and the reflection of fish scales was reflected on the sand at the bottom of the lake. An osprey flew across the water like an arrow, with the white fish in its beak swinging its tail desperately.

Qi Ge cheered, holding up her long skirt with one hand, threw off her short boots, and stepped into the shallow water. Her toes were like white pearls. She bent down and fished out a black magic crystal from the lake, shouting to me: "Ji Jia, come on! There are still many here."

I was also secretly amazed in my heart. The information provided by this ancient war tree was really accurate!

... As the ancient war tree removed the shadow seal array and restored its original power, this muddy swamp began to fade little by little. In the end, the boundless swamp finally turned into a clear shallow lake. Countless slime monsters in the swamp also fled from the power range of the ancient war tree in a panic. Those slime monsters seemed to disappear little by little in the process of fleeing.

This place was originally on the edge of the swamp. Just a few days ago, three hundred spider warriors and more than five hundred giant spiders were swallowed and buried by the swamp mud. Later, the corpses of countless spider warriors and giant spiders were swallowed by the gathered slime monsters. It can be said that the hundreds of spider warriors were defeated by the slime.

What disappeared along with it was naturally the precious black magic crystals in the skulls of those spider warriors. Almost every spider warrior skull contained a black magic crystal, and about one-fifth of the giant spider heads also derived black magic crystals. I originally thought that these black magic crystals were swallowed by the slime monsters and could never be found again.

I never thought that after the Dust Swamp disappeared, the lake water here returned to the state before the War Ancient Tree was sealed, and the black magic crystals left in the swamp would appear one by one on the shallow beach by the lake like crystal clear black stones.

I stood barefoot in the clear and cold lake water, bent down and picked up the extremely precious black "stones"...
