My Magic Age

Until now, Noah still couldn't believe that I actually gained a lot of merit in the Hierro plane and was promoted to a third-class earl. But when he saw the coronation document with the seal of the Duke of Samoyed, Only then did I accept the fact that I had become an earl.

He was turning over my golden earl medal in his hand. The coronation document was spread out flat on the writing table. Noah read the words on it in a low voice: "This honor is awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions in the Battle of Trum." The Contributing Magician——Count Jijia.”

Before dawn in this city, the dark blue color in the night sky gradually faded, the brightest star was about to disappear in the sky, and a fish belly white appeared on the horizon. The lights were extinguished one by one, leaving only the street lamps still emitting a bright white light.

Only at this time will the wind blowing in from outside the house make people feel cool.

I leaned against the window and felt the breeze blowing on my cheeks.

Noah took a big sip of golden cider and said to me with longing in his eyes: "In this case, your territories are not in the north, but in the Trum area of ​​Tanton City in the Hierro plane?"

I held a goblet filled with golden wine juice, nodded, pushed a glass of wine in front of him, and said, "Well, that's it. But I still want the Duke of Samoyed to promise, Within three years, build a town in Trum, one with walls that can at least resist these guys in the Abyss."

Speaking of rebuilding Trum, it reminds me of the mountain city at the pass of the circular valley. Now it is just the most primitive foundation. Six hundred barbarians spent three years building it. Tens of thousands of granite stone strips were dug out near the stone mountain and piled at the foot of the mountain. From a distance, you can see a field of white flowers.

Bernd began to plan to transport those stone strips to the underground warehouse to become the reserve stone of Trum Castle. However, the transportation of these stone bars is a big problem. It is not enough to rely on the spiders to pull the trailers to transport the stones. He wants to set up a simple railway track in the cave, so he plans to transport the black iron captured from the Hierro plane. All the spears are smelted into black iron ingots. Due to the purity of these black iron weapons, the amount of magic black iron that can be extracted is not too much, and a large number of iron ingots will be smelted.

Bernd told me that the iron materials will be rolled into rails, and the magic black iron will be made into black iron ingots. However, the iron materials smelted from the spears are far from enough to lay the rails. I will be needed by then. Purchased from the big mine owner of Green Empire.

As for the production technology of rails and rail cars, he has found some from the drawings collected from the goblin tribe. It won't be long before the first rail car will be made by the blacksmith shop in the orc village. As for this kind of The power part of the rail car still relies on three powerful spider slaves, who are born to survive in caves.

Naturally, Noah would not know about these secrets of mine. When he heard that I was planning to build a town on the plane of Hierro, he said to me in great surprise: "Are you crazy? A town will be built within three years. What are you going to do about facilities, housing construction, and the most important population? There is still a war with the Nibru tribe in the Hierro plane. How can anyone come to you at this time to help you build your small town? Town, are you planning to buy some slaves?”

The resources such as stone, wood, copper, iron, etc. required to build a town will be a very huge number. Noah, who was born in a wealthy and noble family, naturally has a certain understanding of these and knows that the initial investment will be very huge. He didn't think I had what it took to build a town.

He didn’t know that I owned a vast land in Xinliu Valley, and of course he didn’t know that Felix gave me a warehouse of dowry. Those materials covered almost all types of materials. I stored them in the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley. In addition to food, they must be kept for use when rebuilding the town of Trum.

Thinking of the undeveloped resources on that land, I said to Noah: "It doesn't matter. There are two undeveloped iron mines and an undeveloped silver mine in my territory, and there are even more undeveloped areas around Trum's stronghold. Surrounded by forests, there are acres of pine and oak forests, and there is no shortage of wood. As long as there are enough people, the town can be built. "

Noah then asked: "What about the population? What are you going to do? There are many people who would rather beg for food here in their hometown than live away from their hometown."

"Immigration alone will definitely not work." I said to Noah, and I set my sights on the Hierro indigenous people in the Xinliu Valley cave. Due to their physical reasons, they could not always live in the underground world. They needed to return to On the ground, the rebuilt Trum will naturally be their first choice.

Noah was holding a glass of wine and listened carefully to my idea for the new territory. I said to him: "You can recruit some local indigenous people or recruit some wanderers. I can give them freedom and land, and let them have a kind of new territory." Sense of belonging.”

Noah asked me: "Those aboriginal people may not accept your mercy. If you go to them first, occupy their homes, and build towns to manage them, won't they resist?"

There are at least 700 natives of the Yero Plane in the Xinliu Valley who will not resist. With them here, it is probably not impossible to recruit some new natives.

So I said: "You can only know these things by trying them!"

I raised the goblet in my hand, shook it gently to Noah, and said, "Drink a drink, it will help you sleep."

Noah took a sip of golden cider, squinted his eyes and savored the aroma of the wine. He seemed to be enjoying it. He said to me: "Jijia, I know that El City is the hometown of golden cider, but the people there Do you all drink such high-quality golden cider? I think your golden cider is far more delicious than the golden cider we have in our cellar. I never thought it tasted good, but now. My opinion has been changed by you.”

After finishing the glass of wine, Noah returned to the dormitory. I lay on the soft bed with a hint of drunkenness. My eyelids felt a little heavy, and I didn’t know when I fell asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, the sky was already bright. A copper-billed bird stood on the branch and kept croaking. The melodious bells came from the bell tower in the distance, coming from far and near, waking me up through the glass window. .

Almost every morning, you can hear some students talking about the Inscription Literature Club in the cafeteria of the college. The Inscription Master has a very high status among the magicians. The Inscription Literature Club worked together to create the magic pattern structure this time. Having achieved some results in the early stages, it has already attracted the attention of students across the school.

Of course, when a magician is in the academy, being able to make friends with an inscriptionist is a great gain for him.

But after I walked into the restaurant today, I felt that the focus of everyone's attention had changed slightly. From the moment I walked into the restaurant, people began to look at me frequently.

Sitting in the corner of the restaurant, Noah stared at the two dark circles under his eyes, scooping up the oatmeal with a spoon lazily and mechanically feeding it into his mouth, clearly looking like he was sleep deprived. My situation is much better than him. I work as an assistant at the Imperial Magic Research Institute and am used to getting up early and going to bed late.

Noah was surprised to see me eating breakfast leisurely and not feeling exhausted at all because I only slept for two hours last night.

But it seems that he is no longer in the mood to talk to me about this. He just wants to finish breakfast early and take a short rest in the classroom.

I sat next to Noah. The location was a bit remote, but people still looked over at me frequently. They all looked at me in surprise, as if to say:

‘Oh, it turns out he is the new student named Jijia! ’

‘It turns out that he is the junior freshman who dueled with William! ’

Some of the magic students around me frequently looked at me with pity, some looked like they were gloating about my misfortune, some even looked at me with hatred, some even had a cruel sneer, and some students looked at me with a kind of cruel sneer. Such incredible expressions, those expressions are imprinted in my mind like photos, lingering under the golden surface of my spiritual sea.

It seems that the duel between William and I has spread in the college. When the group of people from the Ming Literary Club finished breakfast and left the restaurant, Ivan in the crowd looked at me secretly, and was caught by my keen eyes. When I caught his eye, he turned his head very alertly, avoiding eye contact with mine, and left the restaurant with a guilty conscience.

Hiram and Josena came over with plates, and I asked Noah to squeeze inside to make room for the two of them. They sat down eagerly, not in a hurry to eat breakfast, and curiously followed my steps. Looking towards the door, Hiram asked me carelessly: "Jijia, what are you looking at?"

I looked away, not wanting to bring the topic to Ivan, so I said to Hiram: "I saw a familiar figure from behind, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

While eating the crispy wheat cake, Hiram suddenly asked: "Jigga, I heard that you and William agreed to have a duel after the Summer Festival Ball?"

I shook my head firmly and said to Hiram, "It's the time of the first storm after the summer festival."

Hiram leaned close to my face, his breath almost hitting my face, trying to find something different about me.

Hiram asked me: "Hey, tell me, who gave you such a strong heart? You are only a fourth-level magician. You are eight levels away from William's current level. Such eight levels What are you going to do to make up for the gap in super mana?"

Qosenna, who was sitting next to him, also took a piece of white bread, stuffed it into his mouth, and then said vaguely: "Otherwise, let's find someone to make peace with. Although the Mo family is the top wealthy family in the imperial capital, they can climb up to the top." On the relationship.”

I shook my head slowly and said to them both: "Isn't it still more than a month? Things will turn around."

Hiram and Josenna naturally did not believe my words. Hiram exaggeratedly said: "A turning point? Unless you can break through the bottleneck of a junior magician and become a first-level intermediate magician in this month." Only a magician can hope to defeat William."

There is no need for these two people to question William's personal strength. Perhaps it is because my current level and strength are too low that they mistakenly think so.

Noah on the side frowned and stuffed the last piece of bread into his stomach, then poured it out and joined in our chat, listening to him say: "If you still want to reconcile, give up this unrealistic idea! William is not only a fourth-year graduate with first-level strength, he is also a dragon-blood mage. Except for the loss he suffered at the hands of Adele, he has never lost in any competition. "

"It's okay!" I said to Hiram.

“…” The surroundings fell into silence.

Jonathan asked me another question: “Also, Jijia, I heard that your current title has been promoted to earl? Is this true?”

I hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Well, you can say that!”

Hiram and Jonathan looked at me as if they were looking at a monster.

…

The wheel of time rolled over the trajectory of my life bit by bit.

During the day, I took classes at the Royal Magic Academy. The amount of knowledge in each class was constantly increasing, and I gradually felt a little overwhelmed.

At night, I stayed in the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute. I was familiar with drawing those sets of magic pattern structures in Yekis’ laboratory. In the past few days, I have drawn more than a dozen sets of magic pattern structures and hung them on the hangers in the laboratory.

In Qige’s laboratory, I was developing an exhaust fan. At the beginning, I wasted several wind magic rune metal plates. So far, more than ten rune metal plates have been engraved with very successful magic arrays. Of course, these few rune metal plates alone are not enough to make an exhaust fan.

If you want to make these magic rune plates into exhaust fans, you need to prepare a lot of metal parts. Only by assembling these parts together can you make an exhaust fan. I don't need to do these things myself. Some assembly work can be done by the craftsmen in the blacksmith shop.

The prototype of the first exhaust fan has been placed in front of Qi Ge's desk. It looks very bulky and is hung on the top of the window. The power of the tornado is very weak, but once it is started, it will form a suction force to extract the smoke in the laboratory. I didn't expect it to be very mysterious.

A few days later, I finally waited for the late postman at the gate of the college. The postman brought a reply from Mrs. Alia. Mrs. Alia said in the letter: I am very welcome to visit her manor and invite me to host a banquet at home this weekend.
