My Magic Age

The dull voice of Count Gorgas came into my ears again.

Then, Morad's voice became more flustered, and he stumbled when he spoke.

"... That... Uncle Gorgas, I seem to have seen Princess Yingli, but I'm not sure." Morad whispered to Count Gorgas.

Count Gaogas' voice was no longer so low, and he asked Morad in surprise: "What, you said you saw Princess Yingli? Today? Then tell me if the Princess Yingli you saw was pretty?"

Morad's voice came again, but it was lower: "She herself is not very pretty, but the two companions around her are very pretty."

"In that case, the one you saw might really be Her Royal Highness the Princess." Count Gaogas continued: "Tell me where you saw Princess Yingli? I just learned that Princess Yingli came to Haiyinsi City through the magic teleportation array this morning. According to the news from the Prince's Mansion, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Marquis Jijia are visiting Haiyinsi City at this time!"

"Uncle Gaogas, Her Royal Highness the Princess is not visiting Haiyinsi City now!" Morad said in a trembling voice.

"Huh? Do you know the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the Princess? Why are you sweating so much?" Count Gaogas also realized that Morad was a little abnormal at this time, and asked in confusion.

The conversation between the two paused for a while, and Morad said: "Uncle Gaogas, the name of the witness who signed the testimony scroll just now seems to be Yingli. Anqi, which means that among the foreigners who just had a conflict with us... Ah! Why did you hit me?"

A very loud slap sounded in the service hall of the guard camp, and many people in the hall looked out the door in confusion.

"When you cause trouble, can you check the identity of the other party first?" Count Gaogas said in a somewhat exasperated manner, his voice hoarse and dry.

"How could I know that I would meet the princess of the Anqiboerde royal family when I just went out for a walk..." Morad was almost stunned by the slap of Count Gaogas, and complained almost with tears.

"Come back with me! Come with me to apologize to Princess Yingli!" Count Gaogas did not give Morad a chance to choose.

"Uncle Gaogas, I..." Morad hesitated and said.

"For the sake of the Statue of Liberty, shut up!" Gorgas shouted in a low voice.

Then, Count Gorgas and his party appeared at the door of the service hall again. Count Gorgas's face was ashen, and he looked much uglier than before.

Morad, who was following Count Gorgas, walked in from outside with his face covered in embarrassment.

...

The boy was locked in an iron cage near the north wall of the guard camp service hall. The boy was frightened by the knights in the guard camp. He curled up in the innermost corner of the cage and kept shaking. His eyes looked a little empty. Kong Zhen stayed with the boy and kept comforting him, but it seemed to have no effect.

The guards who were managing the prisoners in the iron cages looked at this side impatiently. Perhaps they were afraid of our identity as magicians and did not come over to drive Kong Zhen away.

Ying Li, Helena and Becky sat on a bench in the guard camp office hall in a depressed mood. Their five senses were not as sharp as mine, so they naturally did not hear the series of conversations between Count Gorgas and Morad.

At the pier of the Gate of the Holy Image Square, Ying Li wanted to stand up and show his identity at first. At that time, I considered that there were many onlookers on the pier. No matter which side was right, once the dispute on the pier was spread, the reputation of the Angelbould royal family would be affected.

But later, I wanted to show my identity as a marquis to calm the dispute, but Ying Li was angered by the two knights of the guard camp and insisted on following the guard camp. After arriving at the guard camp, he found that he was exhausted by the various systems in the office hall. In the end, he found that even if he wanted to find someone to argue with, after being evaded in various ways, the only thing he could do was to sit on the bench and wait foolishly.

Until the Earl of Gorgas stormed in aggressively, rushed into the recording room, reprimanded the Knight of the Guard Battalion, and took Morad away without explanation, Ying Li felt an indescribable disappointment here. She became a little depressed, leaning on the bench in the service hall, curling up her feet, stepping on the crossbar of the chair, holding her chin with both hands, resting her elbows on her knees, slightly pursing her lips, and sitting there in silence.

Kong Zhen saw that the atmosphere here became dull, and began to worry about the safety of me and Ying Li. She came over from the iron cage, squatted in front of Oh, and said to me and Ying Li: "Ji Jia, you don't have to stay here with us. The Earl of Gorgas just now is very powerful in Haiyinsi City. He is a member of the House of Representatives of Haiyinsi City. Otherwise, you should leave here first. If possible, it is best to leave Haiyinsi for a while."

I didn't say anything, because at this time Earl of Gorgas had led Morad over.

Kong Zhen just happened to see Gao Jiasi's gloomy face, and she looked at me worriedly.

At this time, Count Gao Jiasi's sharp eyes, like a hawk, swept over here. When he saw Ying Li, his movements froze for a moment, and then he relaxed, and his eyes became softer.

He stopped not far away, like all noble gentlemen, and first adjusted his tuxedo, buttoned up the collar and cuffs, smoothed the wrinkles on the dress, put his feet together to stand straight, and did everything meticulously before walking over. The young noble Morad and his friends followed him tremblingly, and then the entourage of Count Gorgas.

Count Gorgas led a group of people to Ying Li, put one hand on his chest, bowed to Ying Li, and the people behind him also bowed together.

Ying Li raised his head and looked at the earl, sighed, but could only get down from the bench, stood in front of Count Gorgas, pulled the hem of his skirt with both hands, and slightly bent his knees to return the greeting.

"Your Highness..." Count Gorgas raised his head and said calmly. The low and cold voice became particularly soft at this time.

Count Gorgas's return attracted the attention of many people in the guard camp office hall.

I stood up and interrupted Count Gorgas, whispering to him: "Let's go inside and talk."

It seemed that Count Gorgas also had the same idea, and quickly turned aside. I took Ying Li and walked into the room where the record was taken before. This room was not big. The two clerks of the guard camp who were sorting out the records saw Count Gorgas's return and looked at the door in surprise. When they saw Ying Li and I come in, they quickly stopped him and said: "Our records have not been sorted out yet. Please wait outside for a while, my two magicians."

Their tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and they looked like they were doing business, and they didn't even raise their eyelids.

"This is because Morad misunderstood the civilian child. He is not a thief. We should not define a child who ran to the ship to satisfy his curiosity in this way. We are here to withdraw this accusation..." At this time, Earl Gorgas looked at me and Ying Li, and seeing that we were not going to speak, he could only cough and continue: "As a noble, Morad abused his privileges and should be severely punished... Yes, he must be severely punished!"

"..."

Hearing Earl Gorgas say this, the two clerks of the guard regiment couldn't help but stop writing and look up, wanting to see any hints from Earl Gorgas's face, but unfortunately there was none.

"What is the highest punishment for this kind of thing under the imperial law? Clerk." Earl Gorgas raised his voice and asked.

I don't think that as a member of the House of Representatives, there is anything he doesn't know about the laws of the Green Empire. Obviously, he just doesn't want to say it.

The clerk standing at the desk in the interrogation room immediately stood up and replied: "According to the laws of the Green Empire, once the nobles slander civilians, they need to do volunteer work in the civilian area for at least five days, or give certain economic compensation to the civilians."

Count Gorgas glanced at the young noble Morad, who seemed to have suddenly realized and said: "I choose economic compensation, and please refer to the highest compensation standard of the Green Empire."

"Your Highness, what do you think...?" Count Gorgas asked Ying Li.

Ying Li sighed softly, turned his head to look at the boy who was still shivering in the cage in the service hall, and said: "Forget about compensation, let them go to the civilian area to experience the daily life of civilians, this is okay."

Count Gorgas was about to answer.

Ying Li continued, "I will personally send someone to keep an eye on them, at least to make them realize their mistakes, and not accept this punishment just because I am standing here now."

Count Gorgas said with a stiff face, "Follow your will, Your Highness."

Ying Li seemed a little bored and said to me, "Ji Jia, let's go! Staying here won't have any better results..."

"Oh, okay!" I agreed, and then asked the two clerks in the room, "Mr. Clerk, can we take the child away now?"

The two clerks finally began to understand and hurriedly said to me, "Uh, of course, Mr. Magician."

So, Ying Li and I led Kong Zhen and the boy named Angelo out of the guard camp office hall, then rented a kayak at the gate of the guard camp, asked Kong Zhen about her current address, and then asked the boatman to sail the kayak there.

...

On the kayak, I explained my recent situation to Kong Zhen. Kong Zhen was not too surprised that I was a magic student at the Imperial Capital Royal Magic Academy, but acted as if it was natural. However, Kong Zhen was not so calm when he saw that I had married a princess of the Angelbold royal family.

Kong Zhen looked at Ying Li sitting opposite him in disbelief, and asked me with wide eyes: "So you married Princess Ying Li of the Angelbold royal family of the Green Empire?"

I touched my nose with my hand, then nodded and said: "That's about it. In fact, I married two brides at that wedding, and the other one was Qi Ge."

"You also married Qi Ge? What about Katarina?" Kong Zhen's eyes became particularly bright when she heard the news about Qi Ge. Even though she had suffered such adversity and setbacks, she was still a little excited when she heard the news about Qi Ge. Then she asked about Katarina.

"It's a long story... Anyway, Katarina has been with me recently." I said to Kong Zhen.

The boy named Angelo sat on the boat and looked at me and Yingli curiously. Yingli just sat quietly on the boat and did not participate in the conversation between Kong Zhen and me.

I asked Kongzhen: "How are you living in Haiyinsi?"

Hearing me asking her this question, Kong Zhen's expression became a little embarrassed, and then he said: "Me? I followed Singer and Fred to Haiyins, and then everyone decided to settle here temporarily, Fred I found a job in a leather workshop here, and Singer could also find some tailoring work in several tailor shops. I also followed Sister Singer to help in the tailor shop, and my life was pretty good. Not bad.”

A look of memory appeared on Sora's face.

I smiled and said to Kong Zhen, "I thought you and Sister Singer would marry Uncle Fred together."

When Kongzhen heard what I said, he didn't show any qualms, he just smiled miserably: "Haha, actually I thought so too at the beginning. During that time, our life here in Haiyinsi City was really good, but Fred later After bringing his family from Sloit City to Haiinsi City, life became a mess. They would argue and argue about trivial matters every day. I think his home was simply terrible. "

Hearing what she said, I couldn't help but worry about Sister Singh's current situation.

Kongzhen sighed and said, "I felt that if I wanted to live with someone for the rest of my life, I would definitely not be like Singer and make a small fortune for others, especially for a family of craftsmen of the common class, so I married a fur trader. His wife died and he was left with Angelo. I remember when I first met Angelo, he was only a little bit older.”

Saying that, Kong Zhen gestured towards the boy.

Then he said: "During that period, my life was pretty good. Later, he said that he was going to Qiyan City to purchase a batch of monitor lizard leather, so he took some employees from the trading company and hired an adventure group to go with him. Qiyan City, I took a boat from Haiinsi Port to Qiyan Harbor and never came back.”

"What about that business?" I asked.

I didn't expect that her husband would meet with misfortune, but since he was a businessman, he should have some wealth, so I asked.

Kongzhen replied: "When he left, he borrowed a sum of money. Creditors and the families of the employees who went out with him came to me. I had no choice at the time, so I sold the business. , all his properties were sold, and I collected some money to plug the big hole, and I moved with Angelo.”

Kongzhen and I chatted until the kayak arrived at her door. This is the civilian area of ​​Haiyinsi City. The surrounding buildings look a bit old. We looked at the mottled walls and the clotheslines hanging on the surrounding roofs. There were rows of dried salted fish, and a group of naked children ran past the stone steps. Only then did I realize that I had arrived at Kong Zhen’s home.

I stood up from the kayak and said to Kong Zhen, "Why don't you invite me to sit at home?"
