My Magic Age

According to the original plan, after we sorted out the magic scrolls we needed to use, and when everything was ready, we set off for the Drowning Pond on the edge of the Death Swamp, which was once the home of the Laitu tribe. Yesterday, Kurtz had notified Elder Gribaschin to let the beast girls of the Laitu tribe break out of camp at dawn in order to cross the barren wasteland around Gurudin Town, which has been completely occupied by hungry beasts. , they even dig out the edible grass roots. The further you go to the outside, the more you can find food to eat, but there are magical beasts in those places - wind wolves. We need to take the beast girls in the tribe to avoid as much as possible the orcs who are looking for food in the surrounding wilderness. At the same time, this can also minimize trouble.

Just the night before departure, Chief Kut and two wolf orc elders from the Elders Council of Gurudin Town came to Qige and I. The reason was that all the shops in Gurudin Town had run out of salt, and at least there were already Two caravans carrying salt did not arrive on time In the small town of Gurudin, no matter what the cause is, whether it is a natural disaster, or a human harm, no matter what chance, coincidence, or conspiracy, a problem has arisen, and it will endanger the safety of the entire western wilderness. A big deal.

No matter who doesn't eat salt, their physical fitness will decrease. Even if the meat contains a small amount of salt, there is no way to provide enough meat for the Blood Wolf Legion in Gurudin Fortress in such a famine period. If this happens cannot be resolved within the month , then the blood wolf army's combat effectiveness and morale will decline. The 50,000 blood wolf army guarding Gurudin Fortress, in such a disaster year, when their family members are in a difficult period of hunger, can they still It is already extremely difficult to guard the fortress. Once the salt shortage issue is delayed for too long, they may think of their families outside, and in their impetuous mood, it may cause a mutiny in the military camp, which would be a serious matter.

During this time, Chief Kut and the Presbyterian Church have contacted many trading houses, hoping that some merchants can transport some salt here. A human businessman has already agreed to rent an airship in the airport and immediately go to the Green Empire to transport back some salt to meet the urgent need. However, the Presbyterian Church cannot put its eggs in the same basket and only place its hopes on these profit-seeking businessmen.

In the past few days, we sold magic herbs, magic antelope leather and some weapons of unknown origin in Gurudin Town. Qige and I came to Leipas Steward's caravan again, which made some people think that we were the children of some merchants in the caravan where old Kuru and Kuz were, so Kurt came to find me and me personally. Qige, I would like to know if we can contact other merchants to transport salt to Gurudin Town.

"Salt?" After hearing what Kurt said, Qi Ge smiled like a kitten who stole a salted fish.

Qige sat on a chair in the living room, holding her chin with her hands and asked Kurt with a smile: "Instead of always buying salt, which is always controlled by others, it is better to make salt yourself. If the blood wolf tribe has the method to make salt..."

Obviously, Kut, the current acting chief of the Blood Wolf Clan in Gurudin Town, is not a very good businessman. He was so dull that he didn’t respond at all. He was still sitting on a chair thinking hard about how to solve the problem of salt shortage. He didn’t do anything at all. Hear the meaning of Qige’s words.

The orc werewolf elder from the Presbyterian Council who happened to be sitting nearby raised his eyelids and asked in confusion: "Are we making our own salt?"

"Why not? There is no shortage of salt mines in the wasteland!" Qige always smiled when talking to outsiders.

"Those salt water are poisonous! Even if we orcs are as strong as we are, we will die if we eat those poisonous salts." Another orc elder who completely wrapped his body in linen said hoarsely. This voice made me shudder. I suddenly remembered that the liger Bifulon who was killed by us in the northern wilderness had such a hoarse voice. When he spoke, it was like countless gravel sliding on the glass, which made people feel uncomfortable. My bones are sore.

Qige stretched out a finger and her voice was as light as an oriole. She stood up and smiled at the three most powerful people in Gurudin Town in front of her and said: "That's why I talk about the process of making salt." "Father, we have a way to remove the poison from the mineral salt."

"Hiss!" At this time, even Kurt finally understood what Qige and I were talking about: we have a way to make salt.

"What do you want? Rare magical herbs, thorium, and fine gold?" The orc elder, whose head was wrapped in linen, raised his head and asked urgently. His left pupil turned dark gold strangely. The pupil on the right side was pale green. He was actually a liger, which scared me to the point where my hairs stood up.

It is self-evident how significant salt production is to the future of the Blood Wolf Clan. Qige's eyes were almost bent into small crescents, and she almost covered her mouth to make this deal. In front of Kuz and I, she said something to Kut and the two elders of the Presbyterian Church. Da Dui, I blatantly sold the salt-making method that I originally gave to Kuz to the Gurudin Presbyterian Church, but one of the conditions was that the Presbyterian Church must let Kuz do the salt-making job. Kurtz and I were actually quite worried that Qige would ask for something too precious in exchange for this worthless salt-making method, which would offend Kurt. I was worried that the rest of us would be carried out of Gurudin sideways.

This was a very, very puzzling transaction. The two elders in the Presbyterian Church and Kurt were all confused, because Qige only wanted one thing, and this kind of thing was rare for ordinary orcs. It's a gadget, but to the Gurudin Council of Elders or the Gurudin Shaman Guild, it's just an extremely ordinary thing. In fact, in the end, I didn’t understand why Qige used the ‘salt-making method’ to return a stone drum that couldn’t be beaten.

This is a stone drum carefully polished and carved with a tiger eye stone the size of an adult's fist. The carving is very exquisite. Two tiger eyes are actually polished on the tiger eye stone, which is lifelike on the drum surface. This kind of stone drum is of great significance to the orcs, because every orc who becomes a shaman will receive a war stone drum issued by the Shaman Guild. This thing is like what the Magician Guild gives to everyone who successfully registers as a magician. Like the trade union medals issued to apprentices, it is more symbolic than practical. It is said that this stone drum can be used with the magic skills of the orcs to cast some group magic. It is said that it can be used in conjunction with the war dance in the orc tribe. But except for the orc shaman, this stone drum cannot be used by magicians of other races!

The elder of the liger tribe was even a little embarrassed, thinking that his appearance scared us, so he asked Miss Qi to accept a useless stone drum as a token of payment. Such stone drums are piled up like a hill in the warehouse of the Shaman Guild and covered with dust. He personally asked someone to fetch a stone drum carved from tiger's eye stone. This stone drum is actually not much different from the ordinary stone drum carved from stone. It is just that the stone is more precious and polished. After that, it was more like a decoration.

In this way, a few of us had this trip to Qinghai Lake.

After Chief Kut left with the two orc elders from the Presbyterian Council, the four of us got together and started discussing the next thing. It seems that I must go to Qinghai Lake, which is the most famous Sea of ​​Death on the Pai Plateau. Only there is enough salt. Originally, we thought that just a few of us would go and come back with a batch of salt, but Kuz said that we would pass through Night Wolf Cliff on the way. He has a pot of wind wolf fang arrows, and he has been thinking about hunting wind wolves all day long. What he wants is not just a pot of arrows.

Let me say: Since we must hunt wind wolves, it would be a waste to throw away the wolf meat. It is better to let the tribe of Laitu follow us. When the time comes, we can divide our troops from Qinghai Lake and send some The people sent the salt back to Guruding Town, and the large army could just go south from Qinghai Lake to the edge of the Death Swamp, and then go west to the Drowning Bog.

There must be very few orcs walking on this road, because between Qinghai Lake and Gurudin Town, there is a dangerous mountain pass like Yelang Cliff. Only powerful orc hunters dare to cross there, and ordinary orcs dare not take the risk. Come die here. Because of this, there must be a lot of wild vegetables and magic herbs waiting for us to pick along the way. I guess maybe after passing Yelang Cliff, we may also find some sweet potato, maybe!

The four of us got together and talked nonchalantly for half the night. Kuz said that his grandma asked him to bring the most capable maid with him this time. He saw that neither Qige nor I showed any surprise. He looked puzzled and asked: "Why are you not surprised at all?"

I really want to say, you don’t even have a maid by your side, how can you look like an orc noble young master? In the end, Qige blinked and said to him: "Don't nobles all have maids?"

Kurtz suddenly realized, "hehe" giggled and laughed at himself: "It turns out that I am also a noble. Why didn't I feel that before?"

Finally, Kurtz finally asked Qige what I wanted to ask the most. He asked: "Why do you want a stone drum? What is the use of this thing?"

Qi Ge held her waist with one hand and leaned against the wooden door frame beside the balcony. She held this gorgeous tiger-eye stone drum with one hand and brought it up to her eyes to take a closer look. After a while, she did not notice this There was nothing strange about Shi Gu, so he raised his head and replied nonchalantly: "I'm curious, no way!"

Kuz and I thought: In order to satisfy the curiosity of our Miss Qi, this is indeed okay. Anyway, the method of making salt was intended to be given to Kuz from the beginning. At that time, I was thinking that one day he would become the leader of a tribe. Then with the salt boiling method, his tribe would not starve even in a disaster year. He would just be able to be a tribal chief with peace of mind. alright.

Qi Ge did not see any secrets in this stone drum. She found a piece of red rope from her bag and quickly tied the stone drum into a small pendant. The shiny yellow tiger eye stone drum was tied On the red rope, very nice looking. She held the red rope and shook the stone drum in her hand, and then said, "But, this thing still has some effect."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stuffed the tiger eye stone drum into my arms and said to me: "You should keep this carefully. If you dare to lose it, see how I deal with you."

I held the tiger eye stone drum in my hands, like holding a hot potato. I could imagine how angry Miss Qi would be if I accidentally broke the stone. I held the tiger eye stone drum in both hands, and observed it closely. I found that the stone drum was intricately carved with various magic patterns and arrays. The symbols in these magic arrays were all things I had never seen before. They were ancient and special, and they were combined together in a very awkward way. They looked so irregular, but they formed special patterns when put together.

I asked stupidly, "What use do I have for this thing?"

Qi Ge blinked and whispered to me, "Try to control the fire magic power in your body and slowly input it into the stone drum to feel the difference."

According to what Qi Ge said, I gathered the burning magic power in my body to my fingertips. I knew that they were all violent fire magic elements. Originally, these violent fire magic elements were very resistant to my attempts, but later, with my fine control, I forced them into the tiger eye stone drum, and the simplest magic pattern array on the surface of the tiger eye stone drum was immediately stained with a layer of rose red.

At this time, I was still holding the tiger eye stone drum with one hand, and suddenly I felt a heat wave spreading from the stone drum.

"Huh!" Catalina's body beside me was shaken by the heat wave, and she was almost knocked down by the sudden heat wave. She hurriedly grabbed my shoulders with both hands to stabilize her body. The heat wave blew over, blowing the gauze curtain on the balcony outside, and the house seemed to be swept by a strong wind, and the items were scattered all over the floor.

Qi Ge stood a little further away, covering her mouth in surprise, staring at me with wide eyes, with a look of surprise in her eyes.

I asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with this magic vessel?"

Qi Ge jumped over and snatched the stone drum from my hand, looked at it carefully, and then said with great interest: "This is a tiger eye stone drum, not a magic vessel, it is a totem symbolizing the identity of the orc shaman, but it seems that my guess is right, this stone drum is indeed a totem of fire attribute, and the first-level magic skill is "resist fire ring", this skill is very good, but the power is a little small!"

Kuz's mouth can fit an apple, and he said in surprise: "Jia, you can use the magic tools of the orc shaman!"

I thought to myself: What's so surprising about this, you know that in the caravan, old Kuru has taught me four magic skills of the orcs, what's so surprising about me being able to use the magic tools of the orcs?

Qi Ge played with the Tiger Eye Stone Drum in his hand for a long time, and finally, with a frustrated face, he stuffed the Tiger Eye Stone Drum into my hand, and said unwillingly: "Sure enough, I still can't do it. Human magicians can't use the magic tools of the orc shamans, and I can't use this stone drum totem either! But why can Jia do it?"

I looked at Qi Ge a little speechless, and didn't know how to explain it for a while. Should I say that I ate a burning fruit and was not burned to death by the fire poison. When the fire poison was stored in my body and slowly corroded my body, my body developed natural resistance. Later, the fire poison was stored in my body in the form of fire element magic power. These magic powers from all parts of the body can be used to cast orc magic.

As for why I can release orc magic? That's because Lao Kuru boldly guessed at the time that the magic power in my body did not belong to any of the three magic systems of the human race, the orc race, and the elf race.

Under such a coincidence, in order to save me from the pain of burning, Old Kuru taught me the first magic "Anti-Magic". This magic is completely for burning the excessive fire element magic power in the body. Later, there was "Heating" which can increase proficiency by consuming magic points. Now my heating level has successfully crossed the threshold of level 7, and the magic recovery speed has increased by 70%. Although the base is small, this attribute is also very powerful. The third magic "Shadow Cloak" is completely my life-saving skill. Under a coincidence, when I released the skill, I accidentally entered the deep meditation space, which strengthened the spell casting and would not be disturbed by external interruptions. The fourth magic "Flame Tongue Weapon", this fire attribute additional damage, has a little burst damage effect. When hunting the demon antelope, I clearly found that this damage effect actually has a penetrating effect.

Why was Kuz so surprised? Because at this time I have touched the most fundamental mystery of the beastman magic skills, that is, the totem spell.

In the initial stage, after each shaman priest is recognized by the Shaman Priest Guild, he will get such a stone drum in the guild according to his own expertise. The orc shamans also call this thing a totem. These primary totems are usually divided into four types: the heavy and solid earth element totem, the water element totem full of vitality, the passionate and extremely irritable fire element totem, and the agile and light wind element totem. Usually, the elders in the Shaman Priest Guild will issue different types of stone drum totems according to the different characteristics of each orc shaman priest. As for the stone drum that Qi Ge got, it was just to give Qi Ge psychological comfort. Everyone knows that such a totem is almost useless for human magicians who have awakened the magic pool. But they never thought that I could actually control such a fire stone drum totem.
