My Magic Age

The night of Ilinus City is brightly lit. From the top of the mountain, you can look down at the whole city. Every street is like a magical glow on a magic rune board, which clearly marks the original outline of the city. In the nights before the coming-of-age ceremony, Ilinus City is immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

The streets are crowded with young men and women in festive costumes. The cheerful rhythm of the organ can be heard from afar. People here like fast-paced music and dance a kind of dance similar to cha-cha. The girls here are much more open than the girls in the Northern Province. They don't mind dancing with a completely unfamiliar boy, and they don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Girls like to wear simple white short skirts and suspenders, which can show their perfect legs and figures. The clothes can be simple without any fancy, but they must have a pair of dancing shoes that can shine in the whole audience, and must wear exquisite jewelry, such as golden necklaces and earrings.

If it is this season in El City, the golden apple trees on the street should be full of golden apples.

There will also be open-air dances at the crossroads or squares of El City. Usually, such dances are sponsored by the owner of the Golden Apple Manor. There are definitely more people who come to drink than dance. Everyone gathers together to eat grilled sausages and golden apple wine, and dances the harvest dance around the bonfire hand in hand. The autumn of El City is the season of harvest.

Before the coming-of-age ceremony, this night in Ilinus City is destined not to be quiet. The magic caravan is running up the mountain road. Noah is telling Louis about the things that happened on the Vashqi plane. Shirley Newman is sitting aside, trying to behave more ladylike. She occasionally interjects or reminds Noah of some omitted things, those trivial things or things that Noah thinks are not worth mentioning, making the Vashqi plane described by Noah more three-dimensional and vivid.

Jacques and Joan sit cautiously on the other side, looking a little restrained. Jacques is a relatively inconspicuous member of the younger generation of the Mensa family. It is difficult for him to enter the sight of Louis, the future heir of the family. However, Jacques now controls the golden ship Queen of Vengeance, so he is naturally a rising star in the new generation of the Mensa family. Even Louis cannot ignore this.

As a girl born and raised in Galapagos City, Joan has been dreaming of one day being able to cross the door of time and space and visit Ilinus City.

For Joan, the prosperous Ilinus City is far from being comparable to the island city of Galapagos City. Just look at the dazzling array of goods on the bright street market outside, the noisy and lively crowds of people in the square, and the girl dancing like a white butterfly in the crowd. These visual impacts make Joan deeply understand the meaning of a prosperous city.

She couldn't help but tighten her arms around Jacques, feeling the real warmth. She looked up at Jacques and found that the fuzz on his lips had not completely disappeared, so she whispered to him: You haven't participated in the coming-of-age ceremony yet!

Jacques shook his head and denied it: How could it be! Noah and I participated together last year. If you don't believe me, ask Noah, we can prove it to each other.

Joan couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.

On the way, I kept pressing the back of Ying Li's hand. Her hand was white and soft, and her palm was cool.

When Louis saw Ying Li for the first time, he recognized her identity, but his eyes stayed on Ying Li for no more than three seconds. He smiled at Ying Li as if they were meeting for the first time, and then his eyes turned to him. Louis didn't let me introduce Ying Li. Obviously, he must know the most favored princess of the Angelbould royal family, but it was inconvenient to openly state his position at this moment. After all, Louis's words and deeds represent the interests of the Mensa family.

Ying Li was wearing a white robe of knowledge magic, sitting quietly beside me. Helena and Becky liked to look at the lights outside the window. Ilinus was particularly beautiful tonight, but Louis' eyes fell on Becky's proud figure from time to time. Her long hair was curled like a strand of seaweed, matched with her hot outfit and clear eyes, always showing a unique beauty. Unlike Helena's beautiful face, Becky's beauty is so special.

And I was a little distracted. I was a little uneasy about tomorrow's coming-of-age ceremony. I don't know why, I missed Qi Ge a little at this time. I guess Qi Ge is in the imperial capital at this moment, and must be waiting for my appearance under great pressure. After the Harvest Festival and the coming-of-age ceremony, Qi Ge will enter the 26th year of her life. According to the laws of the Green Empire, if a woman over the age of 25 has not found a suitable spouse, then the local government of the empire will assign her a marriage.

I haven't even figured out how to tell Ying Li. I looked at Ying Li with some trepidation. Ying Li seemed to sense something was wrong with me. His eyes fell on my face. Seeing my anxious look, he held my hand with his backhand and asked me with a smile: Ji Jia, are you a little homesick? .

Homesick? I asked myself.

Yes! Fanny and Ryan must have arrived in the imperial capital a long time ago, but they haven't seen me. I don't know how anxious they are, and I don't know where they live in the imperial capital. I wrote the address on the letter, but after all, I am not in the imperial capital. This is a very indescribable concern, and a wisp of longing is left in the small attic far away in the north.

"Fanny, Ryant, and Tracy agreed to come to my coming-of-age ceremony. I'm a little worried about them. I wonder how they are doing in the imperial capital now." I said to Ying Li.

Ying Li gently pressed my forehead and smiled at me, "It's okay. We'll be back soon, right?".

This training trip lasted more than three months. It wasn't a long time away from the imperial capital, but when the Queen of Vengeance crossed the space rift and returned to Ilinus City, it felt like a world away for me.

At this time, Noah began to tell Louis about the battle in the Great Sea Abyss, and talked about the powerful floating warships under the command of Marquis Christopher. Louis couldn't help but sigh and said that Marquis Christopher was also a general star. He had always been a rival of Louis and Noah in the Mensa family. This time Boris rebelled in the Vashqi plane, and Christopher was to blame anyway.

What Louis didn't expect was that the relationship with the Naga Sea Clan was expected to improve.

Over the years, the relationship between the Mensa family and the Naga sea tribe has gone from mutual respect to friendship. Because the slave trade group on the Vashj plane has been repeatedly banned (perhaps Boris is the biggest slave trader in recent years), the relationship between the Mensa family and the Naga sea tribe has become cold. This battle of the Great Abyss is regarded as the Naga sea tribe sending a friendly signal to the humans on the Vashj plane again. The victory of this battle has also eased the relationship between the two sides.

After all, more than 99% of Vashj is an endless sea area, which is controlled by the Naga sea tribe. The islands occupied by the Mensa family are distributed in various places in the Vashj sea area. The islands are only connected by ships. In the Vashj plane, sailing is the cheapest means of transportation.

Although there are airships, during the plane war, various resources are limited. The trade of many materials between the islands is controlled. The magic crystals consumed along the way are difficult to balance the income and expenditure, so the number of airships has gradually decreased. When Noah and I arrived in Galapagos City three months ago, there were almost no airships.

Then Noah talked to Louis about the golden ship Queen of Vengeance, saying that we found the treasure of the Pirate King on the plane of Vashj. This made Louis look at us with admiration, but he didn't ask us curiously how much treasure we got. Originally, Noah was eager to show off, but Louis didn't ask at all. This punch seemed to hit the air, making Noah hold back a lot of words in his stomach, which was very uncomfortable.

The legend of "the treasure of the pirate king" has been spreading in Vashj for decades. Some people say that this is a rumor, just made up by the pirates on the sea. Some people say that if you get the treasure of the pirate king, you will have the capital to compete for the plane of Vashj.

However, Louis was very curious about the Queen of Vengeance. When he heard that the Queen of Vengeance had the power to teleport across time and space, he looked at Noah in astonishment and asked him, "You mean, you can return to Ilinus City this time because you have a golden ship that can cross the Vashj plane and come to Ilinus anytime and anywhere?"

Noah nodded excitedly, then pointed at me sitting opposite and senior Dylan who was curled up in the corner to catch up on sleep, and said to Louis, "The drawings of those portal arrays were designed by senior Dylan, and the work of transforming the magic rune board on the golden ship was completed by Jijia."

Noah saw Louis shift his gaze to me. I immediately said to Louis: "Of course, I also contributed to the transformation of the Queen of Vengeance. My task is to supervise the sailors on the ship and ensure that there will be no problems when the magic rune plates are embedded on the outer wall of the hull. Ha, in fact, everyone helped with this."

Louis pondered for a moment and asked me and Noah: "Then can I understand that golden ship as a teleportation array?"

Noah added: "A teleportation array that can sail freely in the sea area of ​​​​Vashqi plane!" He said to Louis with unconcealed pride in his eyes.

Louis can understand that the teleportation array is built on the ship and becomes a movable teleportation array, but he obviously can't understand that as a teleportation array, it actually teleports itself here, so he asked again: "But since you teleported the golden ship to the city of Ilinus, can you teleport it back?"

Noah reminded Louis with dissatisfaction: "Its name is the Queen of Vengeance."

Then he replied: "According to the theoretical assumption, it should be able to return to the original place where we teleported to the Vashqi plane, but we haven't tried it, so we can't be sure for the time being."

Louis He seemed to dislike the name of the ship and frowned and said, "Queen of Vengeance, why such a lame name? Do you want to avenge that queen?"

Noah laughed after hearing this: "Haha, actually that queen is a queen insect on the Rock Turtle Floating Island."

At this point, he remembered that he had signed a magic contract with Ramos and promised to build an island city on the Rock Turtle Floating Island. He had not yet told Louis about it, so Noah said, "Oh, by the way, Louis, I have an island of my own on the Vashj plane!"

Louis was surprised again: "You occupied an island on the Vashj plane?"

At this time, Louis was already somewhat confused by Noah's continuous bombardment. He probably never guessed that Noah's trip to Vashj would yield such a great harvest. Even if it was a marquis who led a team of construct knights to fight in the Vashj plane, it would be difficult to achieve such an achievement without a little luck.

Louis Mensa also gradually learned what we had gained in general during the conversation. There were many things that the Mensa family could not take lightly, including the relationship with the Naga Sea Clan, a golden ship that could transcend time and space, and a rock turtle floating island...

And if Noah wanted to build a city on the rock turtle floating island, it was not enough to have a huge sum of money in his hand. He also had to get Louis' full support. However, for Louis, having a rock turtle floating island with unparalleled strategic significance, even if Noah did not have a gold coin in his hand at the moment, he would give Noah full support.

…

When Grand Duke Mensa invited Senior Dylan to come, Senior Dylan did not know about the teleportation magic array in Ilinus City, but in order to ensure his own itinerary, he built a temporary teleportation magic array in the courtyard behind the residence arranged by Duke Mensa. This teleportation magic array is connected to the teleportation array of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild.

This temporary teleportation magic array has never been spread in the Green Empire. The first reason is that it is limited by the scarcity of space magicians. Each of these temporary teleportation magic arrays needs to be controlled by teleporters. In other words, without Senior Dylan controlling this teleportation array, this teleportation magic array is just a decoration for others.

The second reason is that the teleportation fee is extremely expensive. This teleportation magic array burns magic crystals, which is more than a hundred times higher than the cost of taking an airship. Even some magicians cannot afford this high cost.

Of course, we are an exception at this time. Speaking of it, the most stuff in our magic waist bag is gold coins and magic crystals.

Along the way, Noah said a lot to Louis, and Louis also needed to digest a lot of things. After all, many of the things he said this time have completely overturned Louis's cognition.

However, Noah and Senior Dylan insisted on returning to the Imperial Capital Royal Magic Academy with me first. Now that the magic academy has started, we students must report to the academy first, and then return to Ilinus City to complete the follow-up matters.

Senior Dylan's residence in Ilinus City is not too far from the Duke's Mansion. This is where the nobles of Ilinus City gather. There are some gorgeous manors everywhere. The roads along the way are also neat, flat and clean, and there are magic street lights on both sides of the road...
