My Magic Age

Whether it is a starry night in the capital or a green day in the fields.

The Yero plane is always shrouded in a cloudy sky under a gray cloud, as if it might rain at any time.

The air is filled with rich water elements, and the dense forest is hot and there is no wind, which makes people breathless.

This place is like a huge steamer. The mist swamp that evaporates from the soil lingers in the dense forest. The branches and leaves on the tops of the dense black forest trees are connected together and can never disperse.

Almost every big tree grows a thick layer of moss, and some trees even have vines hanging on them.

These vines hang down from the top of the tree canopy, and the tentacles are deeply embedded in the soil. The Yero natives like to collect these tough vines, dry them, and smash them with stone sticks. They can be woven into tough ropes. If you soak them in some insect repellent liquid and apply a layer of gum on the surface of the vine rope, this kind of rope can be seen everywhere in the tree houses of the Yero natives.

Catalina and I hurried back to the Yerro plane in order to get back to the Trum camp as soon as possible.

Back to the dense forest of the Black Forest.

Under the thin mist, Catalina and I stood in the forest swamp. The strong water element here doubled my magic perception range. I extended my mental power to sense the movement in this forest area, and at the same time looked for the two orc construct warriors who had been waiting in this forest area.

When my magic perception extended to 30 meters away, I found the two orc construct warriors. One of them was sitting under a big banyan tree to rest, and the other was vigilantly observing the situation in the dense forest.

Perhaps it was the heavy rain for several days that turned this dense forest into a muddy swamp. This big banyan tree was the only place in this area that could be considered dry.

There were four Gubolai horses tied to the tree next to them. Under the careful care of the two orc construct warriors, the four Gubolai horses were in good condition.

Ever since the Yelo natives told the orc warriors how to boil the leaves of the starwood and take a bath to repel mosquito bites, the war horses have never suffered from mosquito bites again.

Katarina and I walked directly along the calm swamp water surface. Walking on the water surface, except for some faint ripples, it was almost completely silent.

I didn't expect that the orc construct warrior in charge of sentry was very alert. He might just feel someone approaching and immediately woke up his companions.

The two orc warriors took the standard military crossbow from their backs, strung all five crossbow arrows, held them in their hands, stood back to back under the big banyan tree, and looked around vigilantly.

One of the orc construct warriors tried to untie the reins of the four Gubolai horses so that they could evacuate in time if they encountered an emergency.

The standard military crossbows in the hands of these orc construct warriors were purchased from Louis in order to clear out the goblins of the Danma tribe in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley. At that time, they were like magic weapons to deal with those goblins. As long as you see a trace of green skin in the cave, it is impossible to escape the shooting of the standard military crossbows.

But now it seems that it is very difficult to use these standard military crossbows to deal with spider warriors. If dozens of crossbow arrows are not pierced into the ten book lungs of spider warriors at the same time, these crossbow arrows made of fine steel will not be able to shoot spider warriors. After all, these crossbow arrows are difficult to break the black insect armor of spider warriors and it is difficult to cause effective damage to spider warriors.

Compared with these standard military crossbows, the orc warriors prefer to use flamethrowers or black iron spears in their hands to deal with those spider warriors directly.

Catalina had a whistle made of hardwood hanging on her chest. She picked up the whistle and blew it twice. The two orc construct warriors under the banyan tree opposite breathed a sigh of relief. They put away their standard military crossbows and looked in the direction of the whistle. They didn't relax until they saw me. They handed the reins of the two Gubolai horses to me and Catalina respectively.

These two orc warriors stayed in this dense forest specifically to wait for me and Catalina.

They both need to rush to the Trum camp with me. After I return to the imperial capital from the Yello plane, they will stay in the dense forest and take good care of my and Catalina's horses, waiting for me to enter the Yello plane next time, and then continue to follow us on the road.

I have to attend classes at the Royal Magic Academy during the day, and I can only teleport to the altar through the Xinliu Valley at night, enter the Yello plane to meet up with these two orc construct warriors, and then ride the Gubolai horse to the Trum camp overnight.

Every time when the sand in the hourglass runs out, Katarina and I will return to the imperial capital to start a new day of magic courses.

Usually I will meditate in the dormitory before the morning class, so that I can have enough energy for the class. I will rush to the classroom before the bell rings. The magic teachers of the Royal Magic Academy are already accustomed to this.

If there are no other classes in the afternoon, I will rest in the dormitory.

Before dinner, I rushed to Alia's house and asked the female orcs living in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley to move out the two printed rune plates in her warehouse. In fact, this is not done every day. As the production capacity of the Magic Seal Workshop is gradually increasing, it is now moved every four days.

This day and night running lasted for a week. Fortunately, Senior Dylan did not send anyone to look for me during this period, so I finally spent seven whole nights riding the brisk Gubolai horse to return from the dense forest of Green Valley to the Trum Camp.

When Katarina and I rode the Gubolai horse into the lord aura range of the ancient war tree in the Dustwallow Swamp, we immediately established a new connection with the tree spirits in the Black Forest. Those tree spirits seemed to become my eyes and ears, making me feel that there was almost no shadow of the giant spider scouts around the town of Trum, and the area around Tanton City was already very safe.

The patrol team composed of fifty barbarian slaves had already explored the dense forest north of the Pillar Mountain behind Tanton City. That place had long been out of the lord aura of the ancient war tree, but only in the forest area over there could some giant spiders be hunted.

...

Last time in the Yelo plane, I heard Kalancuo say that the food and stone materials stored in the camp were almost exhausted, and new materials needed to be replenished as soon as possible, otherwise the construction of the Trum camp would stagnate. The tauren Luka was anxious in the Trum camp, and the camp had begun to limit the daily shipment of wheat flour.

Human nature is like this. When the wheat flour piled up like a mountain, no one would care, and no one would think about hoarding some food.

But when Luka limited the sale of the last wheat flour, the more scarce it was, the more people rushed to buy it.

People who buy wheat flour can line up from the Trum camp granary to the outside of the camp wall every day. The tauren Luka was very troubled by these pitiful and pathetic residents of Tanton City, but he could do nothing about it.

When Katarina and I returned to Trum camp, we realized how exaggerated this scene of buying food was.

Hundreds of residents of Tanton City, carrying grain bags and bamboo baskets, lined up outside the granary quietly waiting for the Minotaur Luka to open the granary and release the grain. These residents of Tanton City who were preparing to buy grain even spread a piece of linen on the ground. Some people sat on the ground in groups of three or four to chat, and some people just lay on the grain bags with their eyes closed.

Cassandra's grain transport team stopped in an open field outside the Trum camp. The coachman lay on the flatbed, and the Gubolai horses were leisurely eating grass on the side.

Caterina and I met Cassandra again outside the town of Trum. She was explaining something to several coachmen. It seemed that these flatbeds were probably preparing to return to Tanton City. The flatbeds were full of some residents of Tanton City. They sat on the flatbeds, holding half a bag of grain in their arms, and their faces looked a little numb. Some people even whispered quietly, signaling these coachmen to leave earlier.

We rode on the Gubolai horses to Cassandra, and Catalina jumped off the Gubolai horse and ran over to hug Cassandra.

Cassandra was also very happy to see Catalina, and invited Catalina and me to her tent for a cup of tea.

This time she was not as fierce to me as before, and she not only invited me, but also the two orc construct warriors behind me.

Her eyes fell on the two orc construct warriors behind me, and then she asked Catalina in surprise: 'Are you members of the group that built the Trum Camp? '

Caterina nodded slightly and said to her: "We want to build a town here to facilitate the supply and trade of the adventure groups from Tanton City to this side, and we also want to develop the open-pit iron mine over there. The Duke of Samoyed has sold this land to our lord."

"Your lord is really brave enough to build a town under such circumstances. Isn't he afraid that the army of Nibru spiders will rush over and raze this place to the ground?" When Cassandra said these words, she seemed to look outside the tent vigilantly.

Catalina pursed her lips and wanted to laugh, but she had to hold it back.

But her beautiful ruby-like eyes curved into a crescent, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"And the food you found with great difficulty was so easily consumed. What are you going to do in the future?" Cassandra said to Catalina, and then she began to tell Catalina about her recent situation.

Because they couldn't buy food, their transport team had been stranded outside the Trum camp for a while.

However, there are still some residents who have queued up to buy food and want to return to Tanton City. They will spend a little money to hire Cassandra's flatbed truck to take them back to Tanton City. Of course, there are still a large number of workers in Tanton City who want to find a job in the Trum Camp, so her transport team has not been completely paralyzed.

But if it continues like this, the grain transport team she formed will not last long and will probably be forced to disband.

Originally, some newly formed grain transport teams in Tanton City emerged like mushrooms after rain, but in this famine, those grain transport teams seemed to disappear.

That is, Cassandra's grain transport team was formed early and made a lot of money, so she was able to maintain the normal operation of the grain transport team.

"Don't worry, the new wheat flour will arrive at the Trum Camp soon. In addition to wheat flour, there are also a small amount of daily necessities. If you are interested, I can talk to the warehouse manager of the Trum Camp and give you a 50% discount according to the market price in Tanton City!" Catalina said to Cassandra with a smile before leaving the tent.

Until we were far away from her tent, Cassandra stood at the door of the tent, looking at Katarina and me stupidly...

...

In this open space, except for the few tree spirits that were hundreds of years old standing alone in the field, all other trees had been cut down. These trees were all used to build wooden frames and springboards for temporary city walls.

Now, the city wall outside the Trum camp has been built in a rough outline, and the streets in the town have begun to be planned according to the drawings.

We found the Tauren warriors who were putting grain next to the granary. Luka saw Katarina and me and waved his hands excitedly.

Luckily, Luka found a very capable architect in Tanton City. It is said that he participated in the transformation of the defense system of the inner city of Tanton City.

It was just that when the war broke out, he and his family were stranded in Tanton City due to some unexpected factors and failed to evacuate to Pereira City in the first time. Living in Tanton City, the biggest problem at present is the extreme shortage of food.

The average price of wheat flour in the imperial capital was three copper coins per pound, but in Tanton City, it once rose to one hundred copper coins, which means that one silver coin could only be exchanged for one pound of wheat flour.

Faced with such ridiculously high food prices, although the architect was from a wealthy family, he was forced to boldly leave Tanton City and come to the Trum Camp to seek a way to make a living.

Although Luka was honest, it did not mean that he was stupid.

So when he discovered the ability of the architect, he immediately persuaded him to stay in the Trum Camp.

What the architect had to do every day was to implement the plan on the drawings step by step, arrange the specific work tasks of these workers, check the progress of the project and check the quality of the project every day. The architect quickly trained several young assistants, who became the main technical force for the construction of the town of Trum.

Although Trum is only a small town, I think since we have chosen to build a new town, we must build some modern infrastructure in this town, such as the underground sewer pipes that are only planned in big cities, and each house must be connected to the tap water pipeline, and an airport tower with clock tower and watchtower functions should be built in the northern area of ​​the town, and a circular light track should be built around the stone street inside the town wall, etc.

This town should not only have hotels, taverns, restaurants, tailor shops, blacksmith shops, leather shops, magic potion shops, and grocery stores, but also theaters, clinics, junior warrior training grounds, shooting ranges, knight training grounds, free markets, town council halls, etc.

In order to deliver drinking water to every household in the future town, I asked Luka to dig drainage ditches on both sides of the main road before the main road of the town was paved. These drainage ditches were paved with semi-enclosed stone troughs made of granite, and stone slabs were added to the stone troughs. These drainage ditches were built on the shrub wall isolation zone between the driveway and the sidewalk.

At the same time, water supply pipelines were buried underground in the entire camp. The inside of the Trum camp was like a scene of countless crisscross trenches dug out, with mud flying everywhere.
