My Magic Age

The pace of life in the imperial capital is fast and distinct, and every civilian needs to run around for their own food and clothing.

In the hot summer, only in the early morning can we feel the coolness brought by Mount Mazzaro. This extinct volcanic crater has been silent for thousands of years. People have probably forgotten that their homes are actually built on a volcano. Many people have forgotten that their homes are actually built on a volcano. People spend their early mornings running from home to various workplaces working tirelessly.

The common people cannot afford to ride in the magic caravan. They must walk out of their homes when the peak on the east side of Mount Mazzaro has just revealed a touch of fish belly white, and then walk along the flat stone road to the workplace. Their daily work can earn them monthly income. Dozens of silver coins.

This income varies greatly. Usually, high-level tailors, blacksmiths, and leatherworkers have the highest incomes. Those with superb skills can earn five or six gold coins per month. An income of five gold coins per month can be enjoyed in the imperial capital. A variety of abundant supplies Live, and even occasionally go to high-end restaurants to taste the delicious food made from Warcraft fresh meat. Of course, the only Warcraft fresh meat that commoners can eat is the lowest level Warcraft such as magic antelope and chocobo. You can also rent a two-story building. A small building with 1 storey of floors can support a large family.

And those civilian peons who carry sacks in the merchant houses have the lowest income. There is absolutely no shortage of able-bodied slaves in the imperial capital. Those civilian peons earn less than thirty silver coins per month. Thirty silver coins are in the imperial capital. We can only live in those low-cost public houses in the imperial capital, each with an area of ​​only three meters. A two-story building of 100 square meters may be crowded with five or six tenants. The tenants share a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. They also have to endure the filthy air, the smell of grease, and the smell of candle smoke. , the sour smell of sweat, the salty smell of muddy feet.

Every day at dawn, the young people in these families can't wait to get out of the house and come outside to breathe the fresh air on the street.

Perhaps the current emperor of the Green Empire wants to stand in the floating royal city and look down, and likes to see the imperial capital looking neat and prosperous, so the peace officers here do not allow any form of shantytowns to appear in the imperial capital, so , the emergence of public rental housing in the form of small villas has become a unique feature of life for lower-class civilians in the imperial capital.

The tauren Luka carries two moon-blade axes on his back. He is wearing a hard leather armor sewn from the leather of a swamp giant crocodile. The hard leather armor is very rough. The lines of the cut armor pieces are extremely stiff. Use a penetrating awl on the edge of the leather. A row of round holes were punched out, and the armor pieces were connected together with hard steel wires, forming a piece of hard-skin armor with a rich wilderness style. His tall body stood among the crowd, looking so impressive. striking.

Although the people in the imperial capital have long been accustomed to the presence of foreigners, they still couldn't help but stop and look sideways when they saw the tauren Luka, who was almost as tall as a barbarian.

The tauren Luka sat on the grass across the stone street from the gate of the Imperial Junior Magic Academy. He liked to lie quietly on the grass on such a sunny day, smelling the fragrance of the fragrant grass.

He is a tauren who likes to be clean. He is used to taking a shower every night in the summer. He does not have the smell of mutton or cow dung in a cowhide tent. His brown hair is very dry and smooth, like a copper bell. The big eyes were staring intently at the caterpillar on a cherry leaf above the head, its squirming round body constantly gnawing at the edge of the leaf.

I was sitting on the iron railing next to the stone street, with my feet stepping on the cross braces under the railing, and holding a thick magic book in my hand. The magic rune teacher said to me in class yesterday: Don’t pretend to participate. Plane experience, just want to avoid the exam in the magic runes class.

Then I discovered that during the month and a half of plane experience, the magic rune teacher had taught all the basic magic runes in the elementary chapter. If I didn’t memorize them quickly, I would probably face the magic rune midterm. The danger of failing the exam.

No matter where you go, you must carry a thick book of basic rune diagrams with you, and strive to write down as many simple magic patterns as possible in every fragment of time.

"Jijia, why do we have to buy such a large area of ​​land in the Hierro plane? There are so many wastelands on the Pai Plateau, why don't we go back there?" The tauren Luka always thought that I spent it. The ruins of Trum that were exchanged for all the black magic crystals are really of no use. In the life world of the tauren, only the Pai Plateau is the most sacred place in the heart, where there are the wind and clouds of the hometown.

I closed the magic book on my knees and raised my head. A cool breeze blew the bangs on my forehead.

Looking at the crowds and magic caravans passing by on the street, looking at the magic apprentices doing physical coordination training on the playground in the Junior Magic Academy opposite, looking at the tall mage tower on the top of the teaching building of the Royal Academy of Magic in the distance, looking at the floating White clouds on the top of Mazzaro Mountain.

"Because... this is the imperial capital! The upper-class nobles here like a group of lords who own a lot of land. Only by becoming a person like them can I enter the circle of their lives, whether it is Qige or Ying Li, at least I need a position where I don’t have to bow my head and wait to see their family.” I sighed slightly and said to the tauren Luka.

I thought: I was a little too naive before. When I was at the Junior Magic Academy in El City, I talked with Ying Li about everything, and we also talked about some things about the nobles. At that time, Ying Li said that the princes and princesses of the royal family would be sent to various places to experience the lives of ordinary people before they reached adulthood. Then I thought that in Green, the love between ordinary people and nobles would not be looked down upon by others.

But now it seems that it is not the case at all. At least the two daughters of Prince James are still valued by the royal family.

Then I thought of the plateau with the blue sky and cotton-like white clouds. The orcs would never let humans own that land, even in any corner.

I suddenly thought of the boring question in my previous life, and then I looked at the minotaur Luka and asked him: "I bought land in Pai Plateau, and I may become the enemy of the entire Pai Plateau orc tribe. If that time really comes, the chief of the minotaur tribe will lead the minotaur warriors to attack our castle, what will you choose? Help me. Or help your tribe?"

"I... Of course I will... Oh, I don't know!" Minotaur Luka stared with round eyes, and the struggle and entanglement in his heart were written on his face, and then he seemed to lose all his strength. , completely hopeless, he lay on the grass, staring blankly at the blue sky and white clouds above his head. After a long time, he said in a muffled voice: "Ji Jia, I find you are really smart. Fortunately, you didn't go to the Pai Plateau to buy land!"

The bell of the Junior Magic Academy rang from the bell tower, and the magic apprentices in black apprentice robes rushed out of the academy like countless black bats. The black tide covered the green playground and hit the black iron gate of the Junior Magic Academy. Many students were crowded at the school gate, and then merged into the endless stream of people from the school gate.

Many pedestrians on the street stopped and dodged. For these young people who have not yet realized that they have become nobles with status and position, they don’t know how to show the proper etiquette in front of people. They ran happily, like birds that have escaped from cages and pursue freedom.

Walking through the busy streets, the magic apprentices in black robes would look at me with respect, slow down their pace involuntarily, and even speak in a low voice. Their eyes were fixed on the magic badge on my chest, revealing envy.

Magicians in the imperial capital like to wear different magic badges on their chests, which can let others know their magic identity at first sight.

Ying Li, wearing a white knowledge suit, walked so quietly in the crowd. It seemed that there was no change from before the training. What surprised me was that the faint magic aura on her body had changed from being scattered to being as solid as magic rotation. She walked out of the crowd with a magic book in her chest and a smile on her face.

She was followed by Helena and Becky, who were wearing thorn-tail crystal lion leather armor. One had an unparalleled exquisite beauty, and the other had a nearly perfect figure and algae green curly hair. The two of them had different beauty, which would exude dazzling brilliance even in the crowd.

Ying Li and her group of three walked forward with their female companions, talking and laughing. As magic students in the fourth grade of the Junior Magic Academy who are about to graduate, they have gradually become big sisters. No blind magic apprentice dares to provoke them in the academy. Many students take the initiative to greet them. It seems that they are very famous in the Imperial Capital Magic Academy.

Among the group of magic apprentices who are leaving school, Quentin's shadow is no longer visible. The Junior Magic Academy has returned to its former quietness.

Standing on the side of the road across the street, Ying Li has already seen me sitting on the railing. She bit her lips slightly and glared at me with a slightly angry look.

The three of them waved goodbye to their female companions while quickly passing through the bustling streets and stopped beside me. Helena was wearing a very decent crystal lion leather armor with her hands behind her back. She took two steps forward and stood in the front with a smile and eyes full of longing, looking at me with a smile.

I jumped down from the railing and gave her a big hug in front of everyone, which made Helena blush. Ying Li's female companions stood across the street and waved goodbye to Ying Li. Ying Li waved back at them quietly.

Now I have probably gradually gotten used to their lifestyle of three people as one. Helena complained to me with a face full of resentment: "You have been back to the capital for so long, and now you know to come and see me?"

"I have been entangled in many boring trivial matters. If I hadn't met Lucia yesterday and learned from her that you have ended your training journey, I am afraid I would still know nothing about your return to the capital." I explained to the three women.

I went forward and hugged Becky again. Becky was angry with me. Her body seemed a little stiff at first, but after a while, she became gentle as water and complained to me slightly: "Next time if you come so late, I will definitely give you a little color to see."

Ying Li fell behind a step, wrapped a strand of long hair with her fingertips, and looked at me quietly.

Perhaps, there are many admirers of Ying Li in the Junior Magic Academy. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but want to come up, but they were stopped by their companions. Many students in these junior magic academies recognized me. I was the magician who once looked at each other with Quentin at the entrance of the academy.

Now, although Quentin has gradually faded out of the circle of students in the Junior Magic Academy, his friends are still in the magic academy. At this time, they stood in the crowd and watched everything happening in front of them silently. Their stay and stop made the crowded environment at the entrance of the academy even more chaotic.

A black magic caravan stopped behind Ying Li, and two Gubolai horses stood behind Ying Li like nails. The driver on the carriage was very skilled in driving the carriage.

Ying Li glanced back indifferently. At this time, the carriage had blocked our sight from the magic apprentices in the academy.

When the magic caravan slowly drove away from the street again, the three women standing on the roadside and me on the iron railing disappeared from the original place.

…

Weiyang Lake

Ying Li and I sat side by side on the wooden dock, took off our leather boots, rolled up our trouser legs and put our feet into the clear lake water, quietly feeling the warm lake water raising white waves and kissing our feet.

Looking at the rippling clear lake water, an osprey flew over the water, trying to reach out and catch a fish in the water, but when the osprey stretched out its sharp beak, a big fish over three meters long suddenly jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed the osprey into its stomach.

Across Helena, Ying Li lowered her head, her eyes fell on the clear water, as if looking at the white sand, and said: "I know a lot about you in the plane, and I also want to thank you for saving Le Die."

I asked in surprise: "Did Lucia tell you?"

Ying Li said: "No, Le Die said it."

I smiled bitterly, thinking of Le Die's tragic experience during the journey to the Hiero plane, the root cause was almost all because of me.

I asked Ying Li nervously: "She must have said a lot of bad things about me, right?"

Ying Li's eyes also flashed with curiosity, and she smiled slightly before saying: "She just wanted me to say a word of thanks to you on her behalf."

I said casually: "It's just a little effort. Have you realized the mystery of the magic vortex?"

Ying Li's face flushed slightly, and she answered "Yes!"

I asked her curiously: "How do you feel?"

After thinking carefully, Ying Li said to me: "Well, how should I put it? It's like suddenly feeling a new world in the magic stone steps!"
