My Magic Age

The sealed altar stone chamber was empty, even the two orc warriors who were supposed to be guarding the altar were nowhere to be seen.

I hurriedly walked down from the teleportation altar with Katarina, passed through the heavy stone door, and then through a corridor, and finally came to the cave square outside the altar. This was originally the intersection of several caves, but now it was excavated by the dwarf Bernd and the goblin slaves into a large square that can accommodate thousands of people.

Every ten meters or so on the top of the cave, there is a wall lamp made of moonstone powder. There are hundreds of these wall lamps on the top of the rock cave, making the sky above the entire cave square look like a bright starry sky in the night, but the blue light emitted by these moonstone wall lamps is much brighter than the starlight released by the stars.

There are warehouses all around the square. Facing the altar, the cave on the left stores various resources transported from Xinliu Valley, mainly some magic copper, a limited number of magic herbs, some mature ironwood and indigowood wood, and magic pattern spider silk ingots, which are materials produced in the caves of Xinliu Valley.

The cave on the right is filled with a large number of daily necessities, including some daily necessities. Those warehouses are like a huge supermarket, from wheat flour, tree rice, and ground potatoes to dried meat, bacon, and frozen meat, from salt and spices to cotton cloth, hemp rope, iron pots, and various plant seeds, etc., with a wide variety of varieties.

Bernd also closed a two-kilometer-long cave in the underground cave and built a wine cellar, which stored 60,000 barrels of golden apple wine.

Today, there are two teams confronting each other in this square, and the atmosphere seems a little tense.

On one side are the orc warriors guarding the altar portal. They are fully armed, holding standard crossbows in their hands, aiming at the more than 200 barbarian slaves on the opposite side.

Opposite the orc warriors were more than 200 unarmed barbarians, who sat cross-legged on the cold stone ground, holding a large bowl like a wooden basin in one hand, with an expression of fearlessness. More barbarians came from the depths of the cave and sat silently in the back row, as if they were holding a protest ceremony.

…

After becoming slaves, these barbarians gradually learned how to control their emotions and how to properly fight for their rights.

When these barbarians became slaves, the orcs actually controlled the life and death of these barbarians, so any extreme behavior was very irrational, at least for these bloodthirsty orcs, reckless behavior was useless.

These barbarians had long been accustomed to this comfortable life as slaves. Except for digging and carrying stones every day, they did not have to do anything or think about anything. Life became simple and regular. The only thing that made the barbarian slaves dissatisfied was that the supply of meat in Xinliu Valley was always in a serious shortage.

Although the old orc Zewang and a group of orc girls have raised a large group of yellow sheep on the grassland of Xinliu Valley, unfortunately, the base number of yellow sheep is still not large enough for more than 600 barbarian slaves. In the past four years, the number of yellow sheep has tripled, but these yellow sheep are only enough for the daily meat consumption of the orc tribe.

However, the life in Xinliu Valley is constantly improving day by day, from no meat to occasional meat.

Up to now, the "Slave Trader" has been catching fish in the sea and hunting various sea beasts. I have transported all the edible meat to the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley. The uneaten sea beast meat has been divided into pieces of meat cubes, some of which have been pickled into bacon, some have been baked into dried fish, and some have been frozen in the cold storage. Because a large number of sea fish are supplied to Xinliu Valley, the number of times the residents of Xinliu Valley eat meat has increased dramatically, so I don’t quite understand what these barbarians are doing.

...

From a distance, I saw Kalancuo and Bernd standing in front of a strong barbarian, discussing something with him, but it was obvious that the barbarian was a little bit unable to listen, and protested to Kalancuo passionately. The most he did was to show his muscles and point to the piles of light rails, stone bars, sleepers and other materials in the square not far away, and talked to Kalancuo non-stop.

Just around the square, there was a group of Yelo natives watching the excitement. They had completely adapted to the underground life, and the primitive clothes on their bodies were gradually abandoned. At least no one was willing to wrap a piece of bark and walk in the cave.

Compared with cotton cloth, they prefer the rough texture of linen cloth.

Now these Yelo natives have become a group of leisurely spectators, leaning against the wall in twos and threes.

It seems that it is probably rest time now, and the dwarf Bernd can also control his temper well. If anyone dared to delay his construction period during the construction, Bernd would not be so easy to talk to. Now he still stood aside very restrainedly and handed the handling of this matter to Kalancuo.

I don’t know what happened. When I walked over, I heard the barbarian slave leader hitting his strong chest muscles with his hands and shouting angrily at Kalancuo: "Why can they eat delicious fish stew, while we can only eat hard flatbreads, we also have fish stew to eat!"

"Fish stew, fish stew, fish stew..."

At first, only one barbarian sat on the cold stone slab to protest, and then other barbarians continued to join in. In the end, almost all barbarians sat on the stone slabs and shouted in protest, and the sound echoed in the cave and spread far away.

Kalancuo jumped onto a pile of light steel rail iron materials. Behind her, the shadow of a Valkyrie appeared. In her hand, she held a four-meter-long black iron spear, and she used it to hit the light steel rails one after another.

'Dang' 'Dang' 'Dang'

The deafening knocking sound gradually suppressed the barbarians' protests.

As the knocking sound gradually increased in frequency, the sound became one, forcing the barbarians' protests in the square to become smaller and smaller, until finally, all the barbarians stopped with indignation on their faces.

Kalancuo looked down at the barbarian leader in the square and asked: "Your protest is because we orc warriors eat fish more often than you barbarian slaves. Are you dissatisfied?" The barbarian was more than three meters tall. He didn't need to look up at Kalancuo on the pile of materials. He said firmly: "We don't accept it! We want to eat stewed fish too!" Kalancuo said to the barbarian leader: "My orc warriors can eat this stewed fish because they just experienced a battle on the plane. This box of mackerel was obtained by them in the battle. Why do you enjoy such a victory? "The barbarian leader looked at Kalancuo and said loudly: "We barbarians can also fight!" Kalancuo cast his eyes on the barbarians in the square, raised the black iron spear in his hand, and asked them: "Who of you wants to eat stewed fish?" All the barbarians stood up and said loudly to Kalancuo: "We all want to eat!" Kalancuo smiled coldly and threw the black iron spear in his hand. The black iron spear turned into a black shadow in the air and directly inserted into the rocky ground. The tip of the spear penetrated two feet into the rock. The tail of the spear was still trembling, making a buzzing sound. Kalancuo, standing on the pile of materials, took the two-handed sword behind him in his hands, and his momentum suddenly increased by three points. He said loudly to the barbarians in front of him: "Well, don't say that I don't give you a chance to eat fish. Who of you barbarians can beat me is qualified to eat fish!"

These barbarian slaves were defeated by me, Kalancuo and the tauren Luka, and became slaves because of this.

Although the barbarians are reckless, irritable and unruly, they are very honest. As long as they believe in something, they will be deeply rooted in their hearts. They have suffered at the hands of Kalancuo, so they stubbornly believe that they can't beat Kalancuo no matter what, and the barbarians don't seem to be ashamed of defeat.

At this time, the barbarians in the square shouted loudly: "... We can't beat you, but we can also fight."

"Yes, we can fight like orc warriors!" A barbarian in the square immediately echoed loudly.

"Well, since you said so, don't say I didn't give you a chance." Kalancuo smiled coldly, put the double-edged sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and put it on his back again.

Then, she said to the barbarian slave leader: "Next time we fight, I will give you a chance to join the battle. You can send ten barbarians to join the battle. If the performance of your warriors cannot gain my approval or satisfy me, then you will have to go back to the mine and carry stones honestly. You will never be able to eat meat again!"

The barbarian leader blushed at what Kalancuo said. He said to Kalancuo: "I will let you imperial people who dare to despise the barbarians know what a real warrior is."

With a sneer, Kalancuo said to the barbarian: "Then I will wait and see..."

After that, she jumped down from the pile of materials, waved to the fully armed orc warriors, and asked them to disperse. Then she saw me standing outside the crowd and immediately walked towards me and Katarina.

The barbarians in the square won the right to fight and eat meat, stood up from the ground happily, and clapped each other to celebrate.

Bernd, who had not spoken a word, patted the dust off his hands, and with a big beer belly, he shouted to those people, "Okay, since the female leader Kalancuo has promised you, you should all go back to the construction site. Since you have come to the warehouse square to sit in silence, you can't come in vain. When you leave, carry a light steel rail for me. Hurry up and don't dawdle."

The dwarf Bernd shouted, and immediately startled the Yerro natives around to leave the warehouse square quickly and run towards the construction site deep in the cave. For a while, the square was like a group of ducks, rushing into a cave.

The strong barbarians also mixed in the crowd and ran away in a blink of an eye.

…

The chaos in the square ended just like that.

Kalancuo told me that the middle-aged uncle I was waiting for woke up, but the situation seemed to be really bad. His condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he looked very poor.

So I couldn't wait to let Kalancuo lead the way to see the middle-aged uncle who mentioned the "sea monster" and the "pirate king's treasure" in his delirium.

Walking to the outside of a stone room, Kalancuo lifted the curtain and walked in, and Catalina and I also walked into the stone room together.

He was lying on the sheepskin mattress in the corner, his wrinkled old face was as thin as a withered, although his eyes were open, but his eyes were dull, and his pupils had no focus, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was pale and tired, and every time he breathed, it was like a bellows, "whoosh" sound.

When I approached him, he was also secretly looking at me.

The native woman of Yelo saw him struggle a little and realized that he wanted to sit up, so she padded a thick layer of quilts on the wall, helped him up, and sat him against the wall.

The middle-aged uncle lifted his heavy eyelids, glanced at me, and lowered his head again with a calm face.

He didn't feel the need to thank me or say hello because she had saved me before.

The native woman of Yelo stepped aside. He coughed twice and looked a little weak.

I squatted beside him and silently cast a "water therapy" on him. A halo was trapped on him. With the sound of "rustling", the magic of the "water therapy" penetrated into his body.

The "water therapy" fell on him, making his eyes clearer.

The first question he asked me was: "Where am I?"

I answered: ""It's... in my territory. Besides, I rescued you from the hands of the black magic monastery. You were seriously injured. Why did they arrest you? "

He shook his head gently and smiled reluctantly.

"Do you know the rumor about the sea monster on Dunai Island?" I asked him again.

But he kept shaking his head and refused to say a word.

Seeing that he was full of vigilance towards me and seemed unable to ask anything, I had to stop.

After a while, I asked him again: "I don't think I know your name yet?"

He looked at me silently without saying a word.

"Your physical condition is very bad and you may die at any time, but I can assure you that I will not abandon your body in the wilderness and let the vultures eat your body. I will find a beautiful place to bury you. If you want an unnamed tombstone to be erected in front of the grave, you don't have to tell your name." I said to him.

He looked at me deeply, struggled in his heart, and then said to me: "My name is Justus."
