My Magic Age

The morning in the wilderness came extremely early, and the warm sunshine filtered in through the tent curtains, waking me up from a deep sleep. The white and greasy snow arms were pressing against my chest. No wonder in my dream last night, I had been climbing mountains. In my dream, I was as tired as a dead dog. The fluffy red hair was spread randomly on the pillow, and a few strands of hair playfully covered my face, making me feel itchy. Catalina was fast asleep, as cute as a kitten, her long eyelashes were still shaking, I don't know what her dream was like.

I gently pushed her slippery arms away and climbed out of the sleeping bag. I still clearly remember that this sleeping bag was made when Kuz and I were catching guinea pigs in Xinghu Grassland. Looking at the dense stitching, it was Sister Singer’s craftsmanship. A wolfskin mattress is very warm to sleep on, and it's the best way to block the moisture on the ground.

Qige on the other side of the tent was still sleeping soundly with a blanket rolled up. Only at this time, when she took off the light makeup on her face, could she appreciate her beautiful face. Normally, she would always deliberately make herself more ordinary. She probably slept too late yesterday. She always liked to meditate in the morning, but she still hadn't woken up yet.

I stretched my head out of the tent. The beast girls outside seemed to have been up all night. Round sausages were still cooking in the big iron pot. A little beast girl carefully raised the scroll above her head and gently unfolded it. The water ball quickly rolled into the soup pot. The girl licked her dry lips and looked at the sausages floating in the pot, showing a greedy look. She gently swallowed the saliva in her mouth, took off the water bag from her waist and took a sip of cold and sweet water. Hold the scroll and walk towards the next cauldron.

Naturally, I came up with the idea to turn those disgusting sheep intestines into sausages. More than a hundred argali sheep, which are slightly smaller than ordinary war horses, picked out a lot more groceries than expected. We couldn't make them into dried meat or preserved meat to take away, so in the end we simply took away the minced meat from the argali sheep. Mix it with the fascia and these goat intestines, make a thick paste with black flour, add some salt and those dried herbs we found in the wasteland that can replace seasonings, and pour them into these goat intestines Go ahead and make some poor sausages like this. These sausages are first cooked in a large pot and then smoked. Although the taste is not very wonderful, it does not have such a strong smell. The most important thing is that these sausages will not go bad even if they are left for ten or eight days.

I put on the light armor of devil antelope leather, and wore a pair of linen tight-leg pants on my lower body. I really disliked the light armor and leather skirt. Normally I wouldn't wear it to be embarrassing. Walking out of the tent, I saw many beast girls sleeping next to piles of stuffed sausages. It looked like they were exhausted from the past two days.

Not far away, the meat racks held up by short javelins were filled with half-dried butchers, neatly stacked in a row.

An old voice sounded from behind me: "This meat can make at least 15,000 kilograms of dried meat. If you eat sparingly, it will be enough for our people here for a month. These argali sheep produce more meat than wild donkeys." !”

I turned around and saw the old orc Gribastin standing behind me. He had been doing chores in the tribe recently, and his eyes were red. I quickly said: "You should sleep a little longer."

"Once a person gets older, he sleeps less easily!" Gribastin rubbed his face hard with his big dry hands to wake himself up. "Seeing all this meat, I couldn't sleep all night! Those gray dwarves really gave us a good gift!"

My smile was a little bitter. I am afraid that no one here knows better than Qige and I how much we have paid. One hundred and thirty-six enhanced frost scrolls, and in the end, all that are left are completely usable. The school is still full of beautiful flowers and beautiful scenery.

Bundles of hammer weapons were tied together with leather ropes and piled into piles. The beast girls of the Laitu tribe don't like this kind of bronze one-handed hammer. They prefer short-handled one-handed axes, so after picking and choosing, the remaining captured weapons were packed in bundles. , ready to be taken away.

"When we go to Qinghai Lake, can we bypass Yelang Cliff?" I asked Gribaschin. I want to avoid the group of harpies. These harpies can even scratch the leather armor of the devil antelope and can fly into the sky. They should be very difficult to deal with.

Gribastin shook his head silently, and I sighed and ran away.

The little orc girl sat quietly next to her mother, holding the magic scroll that could condense water balls in her arms. She looked at the magic scroll with some curiosity, her eyes were bright and her expression was focused, as if she wanted to know why this happened. There was so much water stored in a small scroll that it took a whole night to use it. The little orc girl’s grandma was the orc girl whom the old orc Gribasin first spotted. She was lying curled up on the oil-stained grass and sleeping soundly. She was wearing a clean leather top. It was covered in oil and water, and there were a dozen greasy sausages placed on the parchment paper beside it. After I handed over the sausage-making method to these beast girls, the old beastman Gribaschin also changed the remuneration of these foreign beast girls after their work into smoked sausages. After all, sheep lungs It is not as easy to store as sausage and will go bad after a few days.

The little orc girl took out a small oil paper ball from her bosom, and took out a not-so-big sheep bone from the paper bag. This bone has a special name in the orc language called Galaha. There is still a little bit of meat tendon on this Galaha that has not been gnawed off. The little orc girl licked her lips, carefully pinched the end with meat tendon with two fingers, put Galaha into her mouth and sucked gently. When she closed her eyes, her intoxicated expression made my heart a little heavy.

Suddenly, a thought that I had never had before came into my mind, who is the victim of this era.

I walked over gently and sat quietly beside her. The girl felt someone coming over and opened her eyes blankly. When she saw me, she was a little embarrassed to spit out the bone in her mouth into her palm, blinked at me, and seemed to ask me what I came for. I took out a bag of meat jerky made of lamb leg meat from my bosom, opened the oil paper bag in my palm, and brought a piece of meat jerky to her mouth.

The little orc girl pursed her lips slightly, tried to think for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and finally shook her head slightly.

I was so curious, so I asked: "Why, don't you like it? This tastes good, you can try it first!"

The little orc girl shook her head again and said: "I know it tastes good, but I can't eat it. I don't have anything to give you, I only have this!"

The girl raised her left hand, spread her palm, and showed me the Galaha in her hand. I even saw the marks left by teeth on the bones. There was no meat left, but she was still reluctant to throw it away. I blinked my slightly sour eyes, forced a smile and said: "I don't want you to give me anything, but I heard that the horseweed you picked is very neat and almost the same length. Next time you go to pick it, remember to bring me some. I want to use it as a rope!"

The orcs are very resistant to charity. They prefer to barter or exchange with labor. When the girl heard me say this, her eyes lit up immediately, and she bit her closed lips with her teeth. She took a piece of jerky that was not very big with some hesitation, and quickly put it in her mouth, but she was reluctant to chew it. Instead, she used the tip of her tongue to feel the taste of the jerky in her mouth. When this piece of jerky that was not very big melted in her mouth quickly, the girl seemed to be unable to believe how a piece of jerky could be melted by her. She had never tasted that sweet taste before.

When she raised her head a little embarrassedly, I had quietly put a bag of jerky in her palm, but I had already run away to see the group of argali that came back from the wilderness to drink water. These argali were fat and strong, and they could all be sold at a good price. At this time, the old shepherd in the Laitu tribe would ride on a strong argali, waving a long whip, and you could hear the crisp whistle of the whip with just a slight wave.

Not far away, the curtain of Kuz's tent was opened, and the maid Asakusa came out with a basin of water, probably changing Kuz's wound medicine again.

Miss Qi used a large amount of hemostatic grass to extract a bottle of healing potion last night, but Kuz was reluctant to use it, which made Miss Qi so angry that she almost threw the bottle of healing potion.

Now there are too many people who can work. So, Kuz and I have a lot of free time, and then we count the recent gains and losses together, and we still make money. Those jerky weighing tens of thousands of pounds and nearly two hundred argali, more than four hundred pieces of chain mail and weapons, and some gold and silver coins collected from the gray dwarves, together there are more than thirty gold coins. There are even dozens of water bags filled with golden apple wine brewed by the dwarfs. It's a pity that the most critical gray dwarf leader Barent was not caught. Who knows what good things he has. The total value of these materials is far more than 100 gold coins. The most important thing is that we are just short of these, food and livestock.

When we set off again, the number of people in the team has increased to more than 600. Some beastwomen who have fled the wilderness and have become homeless have been slowly taken in by us and slowly joined our tribe. Now that there are a lot of dried meat jerky, there is no need to worry about food. The old orc Gribaschin began to consider the development of the tribe.

Gribaschin is still very strict about personnel control. Usually he is more likely to accept young and strong beastwomen. For a long time, in the tribe, beastwomen have been regarded as the property of the tribe. Therefore, when picking those beastmen who fled the wilderness in the wilderness, those beastwomen and orc children are most likely to be accepted.

As a result, the tribe has an extremely unbalanced ratio of men and women. Except for the old orcs and children, the tribe is full of strong beastwomen. Gribaschin despised the beastmen who were stranded in the wilderness the most. He thought they should go hunting with their families. As a beastman, hiding in the wilderness to dig wild vegetables for survival was a very shameful thing. Another reason why Gribaschin only took in beastwolves was that the basic strength of the Laitu tribe was a little weak. The beastwolf warriors who had just picked up the short javelin had not grown up yet. If they included too strong external forces at this time, they would be overshadowed.

Now that we have nearly two hundred argali as our foothold, we are not walking hard, but we still did not avoid the Night Wolf Cliff. Finally, on the morning of the third day after the battle with the gray dwarves, we headed towards the Night Wolf Cliff again.

...Beautiful dividing line...

Standing at a high place, we can clearly see the towering peaks thrust into the sky. An orc who is familiar with the terrain in this area told us that it is the highest peak at the southern end of the Western Wilderness, Night Wolf Cliff. Thirty miles further south, you will clearly see a cliff-like area. From there to the south, the entire western wilderness is like the entire land suddenly sinking hundreds of meters, and a very clear fault zone appears. . There happens to be a very deep ravine at the foot of Yelang Cliff, connecting the two places.

It is rumored among the orcs that tens of thousands of years ago, the most powerful warrior of the orcs, Behemoth, led the Cyclops Legion and the Thunderbird Legion in a life-and-death struggle with the great demons of the demon race on this plateau. Finally, with the help of the Elf King and the human dragon knight riding a unicorn, the demons were finally driven into hell. But in that scene, there was a level 40, fourth-level earth magician. In order to stop the evil ghost army, which numbered more than a million, he cast a level 4 high-level magic called "The Earth Shakes the Mountains." At that time, the magician had an artifact "Earth Spirit Ball" in his hand. This level 4 magic actually completely collapsed the entire southern area of ​​the Western Wilderness, trapping all the evil spirits in the collapsed area.

So thousands of years later, a Qinghai Lake with no grass growing appeared in the collapsed place. Walking south from Qinghai Lake, after passing through a piece of Gobi, you will reach the edge of the Death Swamp. That place has now become Kurtz's territory. The entire northern area of ​​the Death Swamp is Kurtz's territory, and as long as the Night Wolf Cliff is guarded, if you want to go to the Death Swamp, you must go all the way west, bypass the entire fracture zone, and start from the northern edge of the Death Swamp. Entering the westernmost edge of the zone, most of the blood wolf orcs living on the edge of the Death Swamp gathered at the westernmost edge of the swamp.

I wore a magic antelope skin light armor battle skirt and rode on an argali, galloping freely in the wilderness. Behind me, Miss Qi kept urging her mount and chased me desperately. I cheered and saw a tall mound, driving the argali sheep to the top. Although Qi Ge's equestrian skills are good, this kind of docile argali can be easily controlled without any superb equestrian skills. So, I finally surpassed Miss Qi with great pride. At this time, I was sitting on the back of the argali. Although my thighs were so painful that they were on fire, I felt extremely comfortable.

Miss Qi was a few steps behind me and followed me up the hill. Catalina was left far behind by both of us.

We stand on this mound, so close, that we can feel the pressure brought by this giant peak thrust into the sky. When I look up at the sky, I always have the feeling that the mountain peak is falling towards me. The clouds flow through the mountainside, making this huge peak press my chest so hard that I can't breathe. At this moment, my spiritual sea suddenly lit up, and I felt the earth element in those giant peaks. Under such circumstances, I entered a state of deep meditation.

The thick atmosphere of the earth element filled every inch of space. I greedily felt the thickness of the earth element. I felt as if I was alone in the mire. Those thick earth elements wrapped around my legs and slowly pulled me downwards. Pulling, I wanted to stretch out my hands to struggle, but suddenly I felt that my whole body was sinking into the quagmire of earth elements. Those earth elements kept squeezing into my body, oppressing me so much that I couldn't breathe. I was so suffocated that my face turned red, and I had no choice but to raise my head. Panting.

At this time, the star map inside my body suddenly lit up, and the nodes where magic elements gathered were shining like stars under the night sky. Those rich earth elements wrapped around my body and slowly integrated into the star map in my body. The rich breath of earth's life began to grow in my body. I felt strangely at this time. The spiritual sea is also slowly changing, and sand appears under the golden sea water. Those sands are actually made of pure earth elements, and they are constantly nourishing the golden sea water. At this moment, the entire spiritual sea suddenly becomes so vivid, and those foaming golden waves kiss the white and soft sand. , the breath of life on the earth slowly blends into the golden sea water from the fine sand.

I quietly felt the changes in my body, slowly realized the characteristics of these magical elements, and tried to use my magical perception to contact these external magical elements. However, there seemed to be an invisible film between us, which I could clearly see. See, but not feel.

I don’t know how long it took before I woke up from deep meditation. The world in front of me became so clear. I could no longer feel the earth elements in the air around me. Qige sat on the argali on the side, curious. looked at me and asked: "What happened to you just now? It's like you fell asleep!"

Only then did Catalina catch up from behind on an argali.
