My Magic Age

On summer nights in the imperial capital, there are always a few days when the two jade hooks cannot be seen in the sky, and the bright stars twinkle in the night sky.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the yard, it was completely dark. I jumped off the carriage, took two steps at a time across the lawn of the yard, came to the door of the house, knocked on the glass window of the door, and called Catalina who was about to go to bed.

She pushed the door open, looked at me with surprise, and asked me in a low voice: "Ji Jia, why are you here at this time."

As she said, Catalina took my arm and walked into the room. She was wearing a cool suspender underwear and short-legged pajamas. Her exquisite body exuded the breath of youth and a faint fragrance after bathing. Her fluffy hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and her creamy skin was as smooth as ivory in the dark night.

I whispered a few words in her ear in a low voice. She looked at me with surprise and said, "Really?"

She followed me to the shelf behind the magic caravan, looked at the huge magic box, puffed up her cheeks and blew air out. Her expression was clearly asking silently: Such a big magic box, Jijia, can you lift it?

In fact, I am not as weak as I look. Although it is a bit difficult, I can still lift this magic box.

With the help of Catalina, I unloaded this huge magic box from the shelf behind the magic caravan. A trace of icy breath flowed out from the gap of the magic box and fell down like a waterfall. The ice mist disappeared in the air before it fell to the ground.

Little Ella was wearing white cotton pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes and standing by the door. She held a copper candlestick in her hand, stretching her shadow on the wall. She looked at the huge magic box curiously and asked me with a thick nasal voice: "Ji Jia, what's in the box?"

Katerina and I dragged the magic box into the house together, and the magic box left a deep mark on the lawn.

I took the opportunity to catch my breath and reached out to scratch little Ella's nose. She looked like a cute doll recently under Katarina's dress.

The orc warrior Kalancuo knew how to fight and how to manage the village, but she was not very good at taking care of her daughter.

The physical characteristics of the hybrid of human and orc were closer to humans, but in her wild eyes, sharp little tiger teeth and thick curly hair, it seemed that there were still a few traces of orcs.

I said to little Ella, "There is a sealed elemental spirit inside!"

A small finger touched the ice mist flowing out of the gap of the magic box.

"Oh, it's so cold!" Ella was caught off guard and screamed in shock by the cold gas.

Pulling the magic box into the basement of the house, holding the time and space breaker war hammer in hand, I tried to open the portal in the center of the basement.

The last time I transported the magic herbs to Qi Ge's laboratory, the lightning power in my body was already very little. Now, just a few days have passed, and I have been controlling the number of times I meditate, not wanting to advance so quickly, and the lightning power has not been replenished. A trace of arc in my body is like an arc along my arms, gathering in the war hammer.

It's a pity that before the war hammer was completely lit up, because the lightning power in my body was exhausted, I could not light up the magic pattern array on the war hammer.

The scene in the basement was a bit awkward. The two beauties, one big and one small, were expecting me to open a portal for them. Unfortunately, they failed after several attempts. I sat down next to the magic box dejectedly.

It was for this reason that I did not ask the orc warriors from Xinliu Valley to help carry this heavy magic box in advance. I didn't expect it to fail.

Originally, I planned to hide Sister Guoguo's water element spirit in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley. There was no place safer than there. Unfortunately, the lightning power in my body was exhausted, so I could only temporarily put this magic box in the basement.

So I built four ice walls on the four walls of the entire basement, turning the basement into an ice room, and then took out a large bundle of "Frost Scrolls" from the magic waist bag and placed them at the door of the basement, so that Katarina would open a "Frost Scroll" in the basement every day. (The Fire Gathering Scroll and the Frost Scroll are two low-level scrolls that I have mastered that do not require a spell key. Just slowly unfold the scroll to activate the magic pattern array inside.)

Then, I pulled the shivering Catalina out of the basement passage.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, little Ella was no longer sleepy at this time. She lit the candles on the ceiling chandelier in the living room one by one, and the soft candlelight instantly filled the whole room. She hugged my arm and asked me curiously: "Is this box the treasure you stored here?"

"I guess so!" said to my little Ella.

Catalina came out of the kitchen with a tea tray, knelt on the soft carpet, and carefully placed the tea tray on the small table in front of the sofa. Her eyes were as gentle as water.

"Have you had dinner?" Catalina raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and that smile was very similar to Qi Ge.

Perhaps the two of them have been together for too long, and Catalina has been infected by Chiger's unrestrained personality, so she would inadvertently reveal a Chiger-like smile.

After Katrina asked me this, I remembered that I had been so busy all day that I even forgot to eat dinner. And more importantly, I stood up Noah. I had made an appointment with Noah to have dinner together. I hope he won't wait too long in the library. Looking at the dark sky outside the window, if I rush back now, it's obviously too late!

I don't know how Noah will complain to Shirley, but I can't care so much now.

...

In the Green Empire, the Fire Gathering Scroll seems to have entered thousands of households.

The cheap Fire Gathering Scroll currently sold in the imperial capital market is different from the scroll that Qi Ge and I made in the wilderness. The scrolls currently circulating in the market are a little bigger. Although they also have the characteristic of extinguishing the flame by rewinding the scroll, the size of the magic sheepskin and the complexity of the magic pattern are far beyond the Fire Gathering Scroll I drew, which will increase the production cost by a lot.

She skillfully unfolded the fire-gathering scroll and placed it under the stove. Red flames burst out from it. Catalina skillfully adjusted the windshield of the stove to make the flames in the stove smaller. She skillfully placed a frying pan on the stove and cut a piece of butter into the pan.

Then, Catalina found a piece of marinated beef eye in the closet and quickly threw it into the pot. The moment the beef flew into the hot pot, a sizzling sound was heard. The fat fried the beef and the fragrance filled the room.

When Ella smelled the aroma of steak, she immediately protested, "Hey, Katrina, this is our breakfast tomorrow morning!"

Catrina turned around and quickly peeled green peas on the kitchen counter. She looked at me with a smile and said to Ella, "It's okay, I can make an extra oatmeal cake tomorrow morning!"

Ella looked a little innocent. She begged me, "Hey, Jijia, you have to leave me at least one piece of steak. I know Katrina's steak is delicious, but I promised my good friend Marian at school that I would bring her the best cold steak tomorrow."

"No problem!" I promised Ella.

Ella's eyes curved into crescents.

Life in the imperial capital has unconsciously changed Ella's outlook on life. Before, Ella would never have so many new ideas. She would definitely be very happy that I could eat her steak. Now, although she still doesn't mind me eating her steak, she at least wants to protest to Katarina and ask me to leave a piece for her friend.

She has begun to have her own life, which is exactly what I want to see.

I hope Ella can integrate into the city life of the empire. Maybe when she grows up in the future, let her choose whether she wants to live in the city or in the orc village.

The kitchen of this house doesn't look too big, but the decoration design of each place has taken a lot of thought.

On the wall tiles above the sink, there is a rune plate plate plated with mithril. This is a rune plate with a magic array of water gathering spells. Above the gem groove in the middle, there is a small piece of magic crystal fragment suspended. A copper faucet is connected to the center of the array. When the faucet is turned, the small magic crystal fragment will fall into the groove, and then clear water will flow out of the faucet.

Life magic tools have gradually entered thousands of households. Originally, these facilities were prepared by magicians for the nobles. Now, due to the continuous decline in costs and the continuous simplification of magic pattern structures, the price has finally dropped to an expected value. However, even so, ordinary civilian families still cannot afford this high consumption.

Looking at the gem groove on the rune metal plate on the sink, I seemed to have caught something in my heart. I took out the two magic books in my waist bag, took out the mysterious scroll sandwiched between the pages, and then turned it over and over in my hand to observe it carefully.

Little Ella was wearing pajamas and standing barefoot on the floor. She looked over curiously and asked me curiously, "Jijia, is this a unique metal rune plate? Why is there a gem groove in the middle?"

A light bulb suddenly flashed in my mind, and I thought: Isn't it just a scroll similar to a rune metal plate?

It's just that what we usually see most is a thin layer of magic metal plate coated on an ordinary metal plate, and then a magic pattern array is engraved on the magic metal with a carving knife. The biggest flaw of the magic pattern array engraved on this magic metal is that the magic lines cannot contain mana, that is, this kind of magic pattern array needs a source of mana to continuously provide mana to the metal plate, so that the magic pattern array on the metal plate can operate normally.

The biggest difference between a magic scroll and a rune metal plate is that a magic scroll is a one-time item, and the biggest drawback of a magic scroll is that the success rate of drawing is always very low. Once a certain drawing link fails, the entire magic leather will be written off.

The magic scroll is light and easy to carry, and the cost of Warcraft leather and magic ink is much lower than that of the rune metal plate.

The rune metal plate is different. Although its drawing success rate is also very low, if the drawing process fails, the rune metal plate can be taken back to the blacksmith shop, the magic metal on the top layer can be refined and washed off, and then a new layer of magic metal can be plated on it. It can still become a new rune metal plate. In addition, the rune metal plate needs magic crystals to maintain the normal operation of the magic pattern array.

And the mysterious scroll in my hand is a completely nondescript item. It looks like a rune metal plate and a magic scroll are fused together. There is no benefit at all. Obviously, this kind of thing will only be an antique of a certain age. Today's magicians will not match it like this. Making gem grooves on leather is only seen on magic pattern structures.

Katarina has already put the fried steak on the dining table. Under the candlelight, the faint traces of burnt can't help but make people's appetite. Then she put a spoonful of boiled peas in salt water into the plate. I didn't feel hungry at first, but when I saw these delicious foods, my stomach began to protest constantly, and the sound of "gurgling" kept coming.

I put down the mysterious scroll and sat at the dining table to enjoy the food that Katarina cooked for me.

Little Ella sat beside me obediently. She fiddled with the mysterious scroll curiously. She picked up the mysterious scroll in a serious manner and made a detailed comparison with the metal plate with water-gathering runes on the pool. She asked me with a curious look: "Ji Jia, this gem groove is so special. It is much larger than all the gem grooves I have seen. Yes, it is even larger than those gem grooves on the axles of the magic caravan!"

Little Ella's words were like a revelation, opening a skylight in the world in front of me.

I reached out and took the mysterious scroll. I looked carefully and found that the gem inlay groove in the center was actually a slot-type gem base. This slot-type gem base looks about the same size as those embedded gem bases, but it can hold some larger gems.

The magic crystals I put into the groove of the gemstone before were just ordinary magic crystals. As long as they were put into the groove, the magic crystals would immediately fall apart. It was obvious that the magic power of this magic crystal was not enough to activate the magic pattern on the mysterious scroll. Therefore, I kept adding chips and repeatedly filled the magic crystals. However, those magic crystals were embedded on it, and they were like a stone sinking into the sea, disappearing into thin air, so that I had lost confidence in this mysterious scroll.

But now it seems that the reason why I have not succeeded is mostly because the quality of the magic crystals I took out is not good enough. After peeling off the magic core, the ordinary magic crystals are only about the size of a walnut. Thinking of this, I reached out from the purse of the magic waist bag and took out a fist-sized black magic crystal taken from the skull of the Spider Commander. I looked at the mysterious scroll on the table with some uncertainty in my eyes...
